All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

"Pfft—!"

The laser beam scorched and pierced through a thick load-bearing column in front of it.

Chu Hong tilted his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over Fujiwara Shin, who was being held by the back of the neck by Fujiwara Yanguang a dozen meters away. Fujiwara Shin looked pale and terrified.

Fujiwara Shin's eyes were still filled with a heavy fear of death.

My jaw is chattering.

"Father, Father, I..."

"Kuroki! You guys deal with the zombies, I'll handle this boss!"

Kuroki was startled: "Hi!"

Looking at Fujiwara Shin, who staggered back and rejoined the Kuroki Village team, still looking shaken, but still forcing himself to start dealing with the mutated zombies at the Energy Gathering Realm.

Chu Hong did not rush to continue the pursuit.

Instead, he looked at the old man in front of him with great interest.

Although he used his superpower [Laser Eyes] just now, he did not use the time-stop effect of the [Golden Pocket Watch] display case.

But the display case effect of "Clive Young's Scarlet Eyes" is bullet time.

But he never turned it off.

In that brief moment, he didn't see any trace of Fujiwara Ichimitsu rushing towards him.

So... spatial teleportation?

Fujiwara no Ikko stared intently at Chu Hong.

"What kind of monster are you that you possess such a high level of autonomous combat intelligence? Judging from the difficulty of this secret realm, it is at least top secret... No wonder it can produce such precious items as [Phantom Alloy Ingots]."

"However... I am determined to kill you!"

Listening to the other person babbling incoherently, given Amaterasu's usual behavior, it was probably some kind of bond, some kind of magnanimity and determination, saying things that I couldn't understand.

Chu Hong, who had originally planned to see what kind of source core the other party possessed, simply decided not to wait any longer.

Kill this old man, and the Source Core will drop. Take it back to the Special Operations Division to examine it at your leisure!

[Golden Pocket Watch] lv2, display case effect, activate!

Time stop!

[Single Molecule Resonant Blade] lv2, display case effect, activate!

"Whoosh!"

A sharp whistling sound, accompanied by the sound of flesh and bone being pierced, seemed so abrupt and piercing amidst the noisy [Abandoned Underground Dissection Center].

Everyone's pupils contracted sharply at that moment.

He stared in disbelief at Fujiwara no Ichimitsu, whose body and heart had been pierced through.

"Father!!!"

Fujiwara Shin's eyes were bloodshot.

however.

Chu Hong raised an eyebrow.

"Damn it, I forgot to turn on the global view cheat..."

[Cobweb Brain-Computer Interaction] Level 3 Showcase Effect, Activated!

God's-eye view!

[Paranormal Observer's Relics] Level 1 Display Case Effect, activated!

Immunizes all units within 50 meters from stealth or illusion effects.

"Ding!"

Sparks flew, and in the dim light, a cruel and mocking smile curled at the corner of Chu Hong's mouth beneath his mask. Fujiwara Ichimitsu, who should have been pierced through the heart by his flying knife, was now in danger.

He didn't even know when, but suddenly they appeared not far behind him.

At this moment, a crimson samurai puppet in the style of the Amaterasu Shogunate was slashing at Chu Hong's head with a sword.

[Monkey Demon Stone] Level 1 Display Case Effect, activated!

Headshot damage grants invincibility once.

"So this is your [Source Core]? It looks quite valuable..." he murmured to himself.

next second.

Chu Hong's eyes were fixed on Fujiwara no Genko, whose face still showed shock.

The latter was also clutching two jade talismans that shone with golden light.

"Nani!"

Fujiwara no Ichimitsu's old face suddenly changed, his expression filled with horror.

"Why is he looking this way? I clearly used the [Illusion Talisman], I..."

"Pfft—!"

A sharp throwing knife, accompanied by a whistling and vibrating sound.

With a sharp pain, it pierced through Fujiwara no Ichimitsu's chest, causing the latter's body to shudder violently.

A mouthful of blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth.

"Come back! General Shadow!"

With his mouth full of blood, Fujiwara no Ichimitsu roared with a ferocious and horrified expression. Instantly, the shogunate samurai armored puppet in front of Chu Hong turned into a dark shadow.

They quickly integrated themselves into Fujiwara no Ichimitsu's ranks.

Then, they merged together.

Chu Hong tilted his head, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"Didn't you even notice... This guy who plays illusions doesn't even know he's been hit by one..." He muttered sarcastically, and then his eyes suddenly flashed with a pale green light.

Superpower [True Illusion], activated!

Chu Hong rarely used this ability, which he gained after fusing with the Great Red [Mirror of Illusion]. He was only saved from being tricked by the opponent's illusion just now.

Chu Hong might not necessarily use this method.

But unexpectedly, Fujiwara no Ichimitsu's defensive measures in this regard seemed surprisingly weak.

"roar--!"

A terrifying tearing force caused Fujiwara Ichimitsu's breath, which he had barely managed to catch, to become disordered.

His right shoulder was suddenly and viciously bitten by a ferocious, dragon-like figure.

"what!"

A scream had just escaped from the latter's mouth.

next second.

Under the anxious and horrified gazes of Kuroki Village, Fujiwara Shin, and others.

The head of the family, Fujiwara no Ikko, had one of his arms suddenly torn off by something, and blood gushed out.

Kuroki's expression changed drastically, as if he had thought of something.

"Illusion! Master, it's an illusion!!! This boss can even use illusions!"

Chu Hong turned his head and gave him a look that was neither a smile nor a frown.

Oh?

Illusion?

"roar--!"

A terrifying, dark dragon suddenly appeared out of thin air above the Blackwood Village team.

Its gaping, menacing maw suddenly swallowed Blackwood Village whole.

"Pfft!"

Before it could even utter a scream, blood gushed from the Thunderhorn Dragon's mouth like bursting tomatoes, splattering all over the faces of Fujiwara Shin and the others in front of it.

"Roar!" A surge of violent lightning erupted.

"Ahhhhh!"

One of the cabinets was so frightened that it broke down and screamed, trying to rush towards the ground exit.

The response to this action was a sudden gunshot.

"Bang!"

Chu Hong raised his gun, his eyes already showing a loss of interest in continuing the game.

"Let's see who can save you this time..."

A chilling voice, like the whisper of death, reached Fujiwara Shin's ears.

His body trembled.

"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death, you monster! [Shadow Serpent Vine]!"

A dark gray blade aura suddenly slashed out with Fujiwara's new longsword.

The sword whistled and slashed at Chu Hong.

however.

The imagined tearing or slashing did not occur.

Amidst the eerie, oppressive "thump-thump-thump" background music playing in his ears, Fujiwara Shin's eyes widened in horror.

He could only watch helplessly as his own blade energy slashed out.

The silver-masked boss in front of them, [Biohazard Security Commander Chu Hong], vanished on the spot like a gentle breeze.

"What... How is this possible?!"

In disbelief, he roared and suddenly activated his source energy again, slashing at Chu Hong.

Even more powerful than before, the blade aura struck Chu Hong's body unavoidably, despite Chu Hong's lack of evasion.

However.....

"Splash!"

The blade energy vanished once more, and the boss named Chu Hong remained completely unharmed.

Fujiwara Shin was dumbfounded.

What kind of terrifying ability is this?

Or did he trigger some kind of dungeon bug that prevented him from damaging the boss?

Beneath Chu Hong's mask, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Parameters are the supreme authority over all so-called operations, equipment, and recharge.

What about red equipment, what about level differences, what about powerful skills...?

Compared to the effect of his [Mandarin Duck and Lotus Petal Pattern Gold Bowl] lv1 display case, which "can absorb the target's energy-type attack within a single game and convert it into 30% of the attack's source energy points as a return", it is completely insignificant.

"Hand over your source core..."
