Lord of All, my talent is SSS level.

boom!

A burst of sparks flew out, and the bullet seemed to bounce off an indestructible alloy.

"An energy shield?"

Zhao Yi's gaze sharpened, and he calmed down.

A pale blue, water-like shield appeared in front of the man, easily blocking the close-range attack of the pistol.

The man holding the fire axe had a hint of smugness and disdain in his eyes.

Although it was fleeting, Zhao Yi still managed to catch it.

"We are all human beings, and we should help each other in order to survive in this apocalypse."

Three more people quickly walked out from the side, two men and one woman.

"Judging from their clothing, they should be from Earth. Could they also be lords?"

Zhao Yi didn't speak, but quickly looked at the four people in front of him.

A burly, tall man wielding a fire axe, a lean, dark-skinned young man, a man in a suit with slanted bangs and glasses, and a woman with big, wavy hair wearing a JK uniform.

"Brother, are you alright?"

The bespectacled man looked at Zhao Yi, a strange glint in his eyes, and then spoke.

"How could you be so vicious? Brother Shen Lang already said it was a misunderstanding, and you still wanted to shoot!"

Before Zhao Yi could speak, the woman in the JK uniform crossed her arms and looked at Zhao Yi with some disgust as she spoke.

"Sister Ruyan is right. I saw a figure rush out just now and thought it was a zombie, which is why I took action."

"I already explained it to you, but you still fired. You're really heartless."

Shen Lang, the burly man holding a fire axe, spoke casually.

"That's right, you're absolutely awful! Kneel down and apologize to my brother Shen Lang, and we'll forgive you," Liu Ruyan said, crossing her arms and swaying her hips.

"You want me to kneel down and apologize?"

Zhao Yi slowly got up from the ground, fiddling with his pistol in his hand. He glanced at the group of people and said expressionlessly.

"Stop talking nonsense, you piece of trash! Kneel down and apologize to Brother Shen Lang, or I'll show you what I'm capable of!" Liu Ruyan raised her hand and waved her fist at Zhao Yi.

"I'll kneel before your mother, do you think this is a short drama?"

Zhao Yi was so angry he laughed.

If he hadn't been somewhat skilled, his head would have been blown to bits by now.

And now these brain-dead idiots want him to kneel down and apologize?

Even if it was an accident and not intentional, was that the attitude they showed in apologizing?

"Super Copy!"

Zhao Yi was too lazy to argue with these brainless idiots and directly activated his Lord talent.

His target was not the burly man wielding an axe, but the thin, dark-skinned youth.

A semi-transparent golden light shot out instantly.

"What?"

"What are you going to do!"

The burly man and his companions all paled and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Why can't I move?" The gaunt young man's expression changed drastically.

He clearly felt that he was imprisoned in the void by a mysterious force.

Apart from consciousness, one loses all control over the body.

"Just as I guessed, when the Super Copy is used, the opponent's body will be imprisoned."

"It's like the superpower 'body swapping' used by the captain of the Ginyu Force in Dragon Ball."

"Once you get hit, there's no way to dodge it; it's 100% guaranteed to hit, and you'll be immobilized."

Seeing the gaunt man's reaction, Zhao Yi felt a greater understanding of his own lord's talent.

However, he didn't stop for a moment. The instant the gaunt man was distracted by the lord's talent, Zhao Yi raised his hand and fired several shots at the burly man.

He had already noticed that this energy shield-like ability belonged to the gaunt man.

bang bang bang~

As expected, the gaunt man was unable to use his abilities in the instant he was interfered with by the super clone.

The burly man was instantly riddled with bullets, his eyes wide open, and he fell to the ground in despair.

"Now we're even!"

Zhao Yi looked at the fallen burly man, his face expressionless, and spoke coldly.

【Ding--】

[Newbie Boss #SFZF0322: Because you killed the newbie boss during the newbie protection period, you will be penalized for your next mission.]

Just then, a cold voice echoed in Zhao Yi's ears.

"punish?"

Zhao Yi's heart skipped a beat.

When I first entered the survival world, I was indeed warned that fighting between lords was prohibited during the newbie protection period.

However, it wasn't mentioned at the time what would happen if the lords actually started fighting each other.

In retrospect, this is what is known as "punishment".

"I wonder what the punishment will be? Oh well, I'll find out on the next mission."

Zhao Yi ignored all of that and focused on completing this survival mission first.

If you can't survive, everything else is just empty talk.

[Super Copy activated. Successfully copied the Tier 1 Lord B-rank talent 'Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor', randomly enhanced by 25 times, and promoted to A-rank.]

Just then, another line of small print appeared in Zhao Yi's eyes.

"A-level talent!"

Zhao Yi was overjoyed when he saw the small print.

His original B-level talent was upgraded to A-level after being enhanced by his super replication.

Even at level B, it can withstand close-range pistol fire.

Now that it's increased 25 times, it will probably be even stronger after being promoted to A-level.

"What? Shen Lang is dead!"

"Damn it, how dare you lay a hand on Brother Shen Lang!"

"This...this..."

The remaining three had different expressions as they watched the burly man fall.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to avenge him, I'll take it!"

Zhao Yi looked at the remaining three people and spoke calmly.

But one of his hands was already gripping a grenade, ready to unleash the Water Curtain Heavenly Flower at any moment.

"At this distance, if I detonate the grenade, all three of them will die."

"But with my Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor and enhanced skin resilience, I'm unlikely to get injured."

Zhao Yi already had a plan in mind.

He would act as soon as the other party made the slightest move.

Since killing one is the same as killing four, it doesn't matter if I kill these three too.

As for the so-called "punishment," we'll talk about that on the next mission.

"That guy almost killed me. If I let him go, he might use me as cannon fodder or kill me later. It's better to get rid of him. Besides, it's not gentlemanly to leave a grudge unavenged."

Zhao Yi sneered inwardly, his gaze towards the three men carrying a hint of murderous intent.

"Brother, don't get agitated. Shen Lang has a bad temper and is impulsive. Even if you don't kill him, he'll most likely die at the hands of zombies next."

"We have no direct grudges, so there's no need for us to fight each other. Teaming up to complete the mission is the best option."

The bespectacled man suddenly spoke.

"I'll listen to Brother Chen!"

The gaunt man scratched his head, then looked at the bespectacled man and grinned.

"Chen Chong, Gao Tian, ​​you two good-for-nothings! You didn't even avenge Brother Shen Lang!"

Upon hearing their conversation, the woman dressed in a JK uniform immediately bristled.

"Cooperation is possible..."

Seeing the bespectacled man say this, Zhao Yi glanced at the thin man again and immediately said:

"But I want a pledge of loyalty!"
