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

"Boom—!"

Terrifying lightning, carrying immense heat and energy, enveloped the entire beach where the elite troops of the Amaterasu Kingdom were located, as well as the sea surface, with clear arcs of electricity flashing across it from time to time.

Masami Yasumoto's body seemed to be frozen in place.

Her whole body trembled instinctively, almost to the point of daze, as she watched Chu Hong walk through the area covered by golden and red lightning attacks, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the elite. The value of their source cores is no less than 200 million source energy points. We've struck it rich..."

Hearing this voice, which was almost completely out of character for her status and sounded rather mercenary, a tear finally slipped from the corner of Yasumoto Masami's eye.

Dead...

She stared blankly, barely managing to leave behind any corpses, despite having brought nearly a hundred elite soldiers with her...

Nearly a hundred elite pioneers at the Core Condensation Realm!

These people haven't even left a trace now.

"Dousitte...Dousitte! Watashio, Korosanaino?! (Why? Why didn't you kill me?!)"

She broke down and cried out in despair, her cries filled with sorrow.

At this moment, the look in his eyes as he looked at Chu Hong was completely filled with hatred.

Chu Hong, who had just put a large red source core worth nearly five million into his pocket, turned his head slightly and scanned Anben Masami up and down.

With the lightning attack amplified by 100%, the [Forbidden Spell - Thunder God's Judgment Spear] could not have saved anyone, let alone those people from before. There were also items or means among them that could have saved their lives in a critical moment.

However... their methods were not enough to allow them to survive the entire attack.

As for why Yasumoto Masami was able to survive, it was obviously Chu Hong's doing.

He gave a sinister smile.

"Why not kill you? Don't you really know?"

Yasumoto Masami's face turned pale again.

Chu Hong ignored the other party, reached out and collected all the remaining spoils in front of him, and then strolled leisurely towards the "Enterprise" as if he were on a beach vacation.

Just as he was about to board the Enterprise, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Their gazes turned toward the people of Great Xia.

Just a small turn of the head, yet it made everyone present feel a sudden tightness in their chest.

"Watch out!" Bai Ningzhi warned alertly.

Nearly a hundred elite Core Condensation Realm warriors from the Tianzhao Kingdom died in a single move by this man.

A dazzlingly beautiful divine artifact, terrifying beyond belief...

"I heard my bounty has reached two billion energy points, right?" Chu Hong said with a smile, but his words made everyone secretly sweat.

Park Jae-joon, the guardian deity of the Great Han Kingdom, walked out from the Great Xia camp without leaving a trace and quietly stood at a distance.

If they were to target the Tianzhao Kingdom, or the "benevolent father" mentioned in the intelligence from the Great Xia side, Park Jae-joon might offer his assistance out of consideration for their past relationship and reputation.

But now.....

Faced with this monster whose strength was impossible to discern, and whose source energy level was a complete mystery.

Park Jae-joon wouldn't be foolish enough to choose to side with Daeha at this point.

Before Goldman Sachs and Su Zheng could reply.

Chu Hong scoffed.

"Too low, raise it a bit more..."

"Buzz—!"

The ground of the European island trembled, and the Enterprise, which had brought Chu Hong with it, instantly disappeared with a burst of white light.

All that was left was a mess, and in the center there was even an island in a seawater lake.

My beloved father has passed away.

But the outcome of today's highly anticipated "challenge" has shaken the entire world.

Xialong Base City, the highest Dragon Pavilion.

Xuanyuan Shou and Wen Zaishan arrived together, respectfully and resolutely presenting their assessment of the "benevolent father's" strength.

Codename: Benevolent Father

[Danger Level: SSS+]

[Strength Assessment: At least at the eighth level of the Concentration Realm]

[Abilities and Skills: Lightning-type forbidden magic, mind manipulation (suspected to target only monsters), time stop, perception shielding, illusion invincibility, physical invincibility, rebirth, super-fast energy recovery, and suspected alternative functions of red-quality collectibles]

[Attitude towards: Not to be an enemy]

When this thick stack of documents, spanning dozens of pages, was handed to the highest Dragon Pavilion, even the most powerful figures at the top of the Dragon Pavilion fell silent for a moment.

......

Black Hole Council Headquarters.

Mo Ling was not surprised at all by the sudden collective summons from the Speaker of Parliament.

He sat calmly in his seat.

108 seats!

however.

Every member who used to be present is now missing one person.

The seat of "Double Ghost Councilor Yasumoto Kiichi" is empty.

"That guy, that guy was like an unsolvable monster! My illusion attacks didn't have the slightest effect on him, and... I never regained control of Ganesha until his death."

It was Jafar who spoke; at this moment, he was, like everyone else present, a phantom used during the meeting.

However, his face was covered with a gauze at this moment.

however.

The entire battle was broadcast live globally. Although both Jafar and Yasumoto Guiichi clearly had some tricks up their sleeves, they didn't have a chance to use them.

But... the strangeness and inexplicable nature of that kind father were evident to everyone.

"Just what kind of dazzling divine artifact did that guy fuse with? I thought he just fused with a simple divine artifact related to lightning magic..."

An elegant voice rang out, speaking in French.

Jafar shook his head in anguish.

Mo Ling sat not far from the other party and could clearly feel that this guardian deity of the White Elephant Kingdom, Jafar, was emanating an emotion called fear.

"Is it possible that he fused with more than one dazzling-grade divine artifact?"

"Fuck! A mummy? That sounds even more terrifying than that kid called 'Father of Compassion' being a god. My god, our entire Black Hole Council has over a hundred members, almost all of whom are among the strongest on Earth, yet we can't even gather ten dazzling-grade divine artifacts. And that kid has two?"

"Perhaps more than two..."

"Shit! I don't care if you believe it or not, even if it's true, I absolutely refuse to believe it! Damn it!"

"What I'm more curious about is how that Twin Ghost is doing now. Even the [Black Mirror Ring] couldn't summon him. It seems like the losses are really significant..."

The crowd either remained silent with solemn expressions or nervously discussed amongst themselves.

Suddenly, as if a scene from a video clip appeared on the central stage without any warning, the entire audience was instantly silenced.

Everyone nodded and patted their chests.

"Mr. Speaker of the Council..."

The speaker's face was obscured, but his attire had a Persian flair, with a silver-white mask covering his face. Yet, the moment he spoke, his words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

"I have decided to acknowledge 'Father' as a formal member of my Black Hole Council, and also as the 109th member."

"What?!"

"Hiss... They're really going to let him join?!"

Even Mo Ling couldn't help but frown slightly. Although the council chairman in front of him was equally mysterious and powerful, the sense of oppression he felt from this person after a long period of contact seemed to be much stronger than that of the "benevolent father".

The benevolent father did many things under the guise of the Black Hole Council, and made the Black Hole Council take the blame for a lot of things.

If it were anyone else, whether in the hands of a government or the Black Hole Council, they would have died countless times already.

But this kind father...

"Night Raven! Iris!"

The sudden roll call made Mo Ling's heart tighten.

Along with him, the elegant woman who spoke fluent French was also mentioned.

"The two of you will go and find and contact the compassionate father, and bring him into the organization."
