I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?

"It's none of your business to question what the commander is doing."

"You only need to understand one thing."

Iron Wall's voice was calm, as if stating a simple fact: "Disgusting things like you are about to disappear from this world."

Upon hearing the word "disgusting," Zhao Haidong couldn't help but laugh out loud in anger.

His laughter was hoarse, filled with sorrow.

"I feel disgusted?"

He pointed to himself, then to the corpses lying in pools of blood around him, his blood-red eyes fixed on the iron wall.

"Where were you all when I was risking my life to protect this city and these ordinary people in the face of disaster?!"

"You dare call me disgusting?!"

"Indiscriminate killing of innocent people, utter disregard for human life!"

"What's the difference between you and those calamities and ferocious beasts?!"

Zhao Haidong's voice grew louder and more shrill with each note, until it was almost a roar.

He couldn't understand it.

He couldn't accept it either.

The order he had fought for and protected all along was, at this moment, utterly torn apart from within by his own people.

This betrayal caused him more pain than any despair brought by any calamity.

"Noisy."

Iron Wall finally lost all patience.

He spat out two words with annoyance and suddenly raised his right hand.

In an instant.

Dark purple lightning, carrying an ominous aura, coiled around his entire arm like a venomous snake.

That was the power of [Void Anomaly Lightning].

A terrifying force originating from the void, capable of annihilating all matter and energy!

The iron wall did not approach.

He simply stood there and threw a punch at Zhao Haidong, who was more than ten meters away.

There was no deafening roar, nor any earth-shattering force.

Only a streak of dark purple lightning flashed and disappeared.

Wherever the lightning passed, the space seemed to be scorched with tiny creases.

Under the illumination of the dark purple lightning, Zhao Haidong's body, along with his blood-stained uniform, was instantly disintegrated.

Finally, it turned into countless specks of light and dissipated into the air.

Not even the slightest trace was left.

Iron Wall withdrew his fist dismissively.

He didn't even glance at the spot where Zhao Haidong disappeared, as if he had casually swatted a fly.

"This is the fate of ants when they resist!"

He said coldly, his tone full of disdain.

In his view, all of this should come to an end.

however.

He had barely finished speaking.

A familiar figure appeared silently again not far behind him.

He was still wearing that uniform, and his face was still etched with weariness and vicissitudes.

In good condition.

"How is that possible..."

Seeing Zhao Haidong reappear, a crack finally appeared on Tie Bi's perpetually icy face.

He was 100% certain that his punch had completely annihilated the opponent's body and soul.

There is absolutely no possibility of survival.

But the person in front of me...

Suddenly.

Iron Wall figured it out.

In Zhao Haidong's hands...

Possess the [False Decree]!

That's the effect of this S-rank bizarre item.

It deceived reality and created a false illusion.

Having figured this out, the slight surprise on Tie Bi's face instantly turned into even stronger disdain and mockery.

An S-rank Weirdness is indeed capable of dealing with his attacks.

After all, he's only S-rank.

Can……

Want to fight him?

That's really...

"Innocent!"

"In the face of absolute power, any fancy techniques are meaningless."

Iron Wall spoke coldly.

The sound echoed in this vast white space.

Without any further hesitation, he took something out of his pocket.

It was a brass pocket watch with intricate patterns engraved on it, and it looked very old.

The surface of the pocket watch was covered with fine scratches, and the hands had long since stopped turning, making it look like a cheap item found at a flea market.

But this is the very SSS-level bizarre item that Ironwall possesses, a treasure that terrifies countless calamities and superhumans!

【The Core of Shadows】!

Iron Wall held the pocket watch and gently pressed the button on the top of it with his thumb.

Click.

A soft sound.

An invisible, indescribable wave emanated from him and instantly spread outwards.

There was no light, and there was no sound.

But in the instant this fluctuation spread.

Click!

The entire white space was like a piece of glass that had been frozen in an instant.

On the surface, dense cracks began to appear.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The deceptive space created by Zhao Haidong, which was so realistic that it could be mistaken for a real one, couldn't even last a second against the power of the [Shadow Core].

Click!Click!

The crisp cracking sounds grew more and more frequent.

finally.

boom!

A loud bang.

The entire space shattered with a deafening roar!

……

Top floor.

After using up the [False Decree], he returned here immediately.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

run!

Take everyone and get out of here immediately!

He created the illusion not to fight the Iron Wall at all.

He knew very well that with his strength, he wouldn't last even a second against those monsters.

He's just stalling for time.

Let's fight for a chance of survival for those who are still alive!

"Qu Feng!"

Back on the top floor, Zhao Haidong roared at the top of his lungs at the completely bewildered team members.

"Immediately take men and move Miss Lu Yao, Jiang Hongming, and the Xu family of three to a safe place!"

"Get out of here immediately! Right now!"

"That's an order!"

Qu Feng and the others were awakened by Zhao Haidong's roar. Even if they didn't know what had happened, they understood the seriousness of the situation.

"Yes, Chief!"

Without further hesitation, the group turned around and rushed towards the heavily guarded special care wards.

However, they had only just reached the door of the ward.

The safety door on the top floor was kicked open from the outside with a loud "bang".

Iron Wall's towering figure appeared at the doorway.

As Zhao Haidong looked at that figure, his heart sank to the bottom.

How could it be... so fast?

them……

Has it really become this powerful?!

Even the deceptive space of the [False Edict] couldn't trap him for even a minute?

But Zhao Haidong didn't have time to think much. He immediately took out the [False Edict] and prepared to launch a new round of attacks.

however……

Iron Wall simply took out the Shadow Core again and flicked the button on his pocket watch.

next second.

"puff!"

Zhao Haidong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time, the [False Edict] card in his hand was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

Finally, with a "crack," it shattered completely, turning into dust!

How could this be...?

That's an S-class bizarre item!

It was destroyed so easily!

Zhao Haidong's face was filled with disbelief.

But Tiebi didn't even glance at him.

His gaze swept across the corridor and finally landed on the door of the most heavily guarded VIP ward.

Because of him...

I felt it!

He strode off and headed straight for the ward.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Haidong's expression changed drastically.

He didn't know what the other person wanted to do, but he absolutely couldn't let them get close to that ward!

He braced his swaying body and used all his strength to stand firmly in front of the iron wall.

He spread his arms wide, like a wall, protecting the door behind him.

"What do you want to do?!"

Zhao Haidong was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot.

"Those lying in the ward are the sacrifices of this generation! They are humanity's last hope in resisting this apocalyptic catastrophe!"

He hoped that the words "sacrifice" would make the other party wary.

however.

"hope?"

Upon hearing this, Tie Bi seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and a mocking expression appeared on his eternally icy face.

"The Commander already said that."

"The so-called sacrificer is nothing more than a slightly stronger ant."

"The Commander also said..."

"Those who offer sacrifices deserve to die!"

after all……

The Commander will not allow anyone to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Zhou family!

That would absolutely threaten that supreme position!

This is another mission that Tiebi has for Dongzhou!

Zhao Haidong didn't understand the deeper meaning behind those words, but he could sense the murderous intent in the other person's eyes.

He felt that these people were all completely insane!

The last glimmer of hope in his eyes was extinguished completely.

But Zhao Haidong was unwilling to give up.

He looked at the iron wall in front of him and gave a bitter smile.

"How about I give my life in exchange for their safe departure?"
