What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

Seeing that the Stars and Stripes cloak was about to fly high into the sky, Yang Xi stopped holding back. He lightly stomped his foot on the ground, and the instantly surging metal pushed him directly in front of the Stars and Stripes cloak.

Since this cloak is so flexible and tough, he can just attack the star-spangled cloak itself.

"you……"

Before Stars and Stripes Cloak could utter a single word, Yang Xi met his gaze. The illusion of his puppetry ability was activated, Stars and Stripes Cloak's eyes struggled for a moment, and he slowly came to a stop in mid-air.

In the hallucination he was trapped in, the four people he had brutally murdered—his alcoholic stepfather, his high school homeroom teacher, the leader of the anti-fans, and the unlucky passerby—all clung to his body like evil spirits, devouring him.

"No...don't come any closer! Spare me! Spare me!"

Yang Xi sighed and reached for the star-striped cloak. "The sins you committed have ultimately become what you fear most."

But the Horcrux of the Stars and Stripes Cloak tried to swat Yang Xi's hand away as if to protect him. If Yang Xi hadn't used the metal in time to block it, his hand might have been broken.

This gave him a fright, and he reflected, "I need to upgrade to a physical enhancement ability as a foundation, otherwise I'll be too easily injured, and even Holy Light healing won't be enough."

However, both Shadow Cloak and Metal Control can effectively protect Yang Xi's body. The reason he almost lost his hand this time was because he overlooked the existence of this Soul Weapon.

"The little cape is quite interesting. It's a really good soul weapon, but it's a pity it has the wrong master."

Since Stars and Stripes Cloak's Horcruxes could automatically protect its master while in illusion mode, Yang Xi thought he might as well kill him and then use the stripping ability.

Yang Xi, with a rather wicked sense of humor, said while folding the cloak-shaped soul artifact in half, "Useless struggle, little cloak, you'll be with me soon."

Who would have thought that this Horcrux cloak would rummage around on its own master, pull out a blue pill, and stuff it into his mouth!

I am Cao!

Is this level of intelligence really a good thing?

Yang Xi was stunned!

Yang Xi really didn't believe that such a depraved hero as Stars and Stripes didn't have some blue pills on him.

So this thing wasn't used before...

The star-striped cloak immediately broke free from the illusion, its aura surging, just like the Priest of Light who had taken the blue pill earlier.

However, the blue light in his eyes was much stronger than that of the Light Priest, indicating that he had used quite a bit of it before.

Under the influence of the blue pill, the Stars and Stripes Cloak's Horcrux grew rapidly, transforming from a two-meter-long rectangle into a giant ginkgo leaf shape, seemingly poised to block out the night.

"You bastard!" Stars and Stripes Cloak's face contorted, like a piece of clay being kneaded, but thankfully he quickly regained control of his rampaging energy. "Because of you, I ate this damn stuff again!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

These heroes, bewitched by the blue pill, are well aware of its side effects, yet they can never bring themselves to discard it.

After venting for a while, Stars and Stripes Cloak gradually calmed down. His eyes were completely filled with blue in such a short time, with not a single white showing.

His long, golden hair flowed slowly, and the rich energy surging around him gave him boundless confidence.

"Crash..."

The Horcruxes on the star-striped cloak began to shake, surrounding Yang Xi from all sides.

Yang Xi, who had already switched to walking on metal and floating in the air, wanted to break through the cloak, but was accidentally trapped inside.

"You're out of luck. After taking the blue pill, I can no longer fully control my Horcrux. Now, I'll just have to face death in endless despair!"

On the red and blue cloak, white stars lit up. When the light became extremely bright and white, these stars detached from the fabric and attached themselves to Yang Xi's body, exploding one by one.

"Boom! Boom!"

The soul artifact cloak that enveloped Yang Xi seemed to expand and shrink continuously with the explosion inside, which is why it was not torn by its own explosion.

After the explosion subsided, the cloak gradually shrank back to its original size. The cloak was anthropomorphized to mimic panting, as if the explosion had consumed a lot of energy.

The man in the Stars and Stripes cloak pinched his nose, seemingly unwilling to inhale Yang Xi's "ashes." "Is this what they call a Super A-level powerhouse? Nothing special. It seems that the Demon Dragon and the Wandering Swordsman from District One are just for show."

As the smoke cleared, a human figure completely encased in metal was found suspended in the air.

Yang Xi even covered his mouth tightly, afraid that the cloak would blow him up again. If it weren't for the S-grade metal strength, he would have had to use Holy Light to heal himself continuously.

Not intending to delay any longer, he gripped the star-striped cape and unleashed the ultimate move he had just mastered, "Star Absorption Annihilation"!

As soon as he activated it, Yang Xi felt an extremely strong resistance. Fortunately, the Stars and Stripes Cloak itself was weak enough that it could not be considered an A-level powerhouse at all. Moreover, Yang Xi was so ruthless that he did not calculate the consumption of his mental energy. Only in this way could he completely defeat the Stars and Stripes Cloak in the tug-of-war of mental energy.

Yang Xi extracted small amounts of calcium and iron from the star-spangled cloak.

His body withered and hunched over, and when you looked again, he was lifeless.

The metal receded from Yang Xi's body like a tide, and he staggered as he stood on the metal flying disc. Even using the Star Absorption Annihilation technique on a weak A-level ability user was too much of a stretch.

"We almost capsized in a ditch. We really shouldn't underestimate our opponents."

The night breeze ruffled Yang Xi's hair, and he simply lay down on the metal frisbee. At that moment, the stars in the sky seemed to brighten a little.

105 Starry Sky Cloak

When Yang Xi killed Stars and Stripes Cloak, he specially put his body in a semi-circular metal container to prevent it from falling to the ground and shattering.

Now that he had rested, he went over and removed the powers from the Stars and Stripes Cloak.

[Special Ability: Starry Sky Cloak]

Brief description: Possesses a certain degree of autonomy, is immune to B-level magic, and has great resilience.

Skill 1: Meteor Shower - The stars on the surface can explode after accumulating energy, damaging enemies.

Rating: Grade A, ...

Yang Xi activated the supernatural power bead within his body, re-condensing the starry sky cloak.

Yang Xi discovered that the starry sky cape was originally black, and the stars on it were not the standard five-pointed stars as before, but stars of different shapes and sizes, making the whole look like a piece torn from the night sky.

"That Stars and Stripes Cloak guy probably made the Horcrux look like that just to boost his popularity."

Since the color and pattern of the starry sky cape were not closely related to its power, Yang Xi did not modify it.

Firstly, this would perfectly distinguish it from the Stars and Stripes Cloak's Horcrux; secondly, Yang Xi was inherently lazy and preferred to remain in the "default" state, as the background on his communicator was still the factory default.

Since he needed to get to the Saints' lair, Yang Xi simply switched from his Rooster disguise to Snake disguise, then put on his Starry Sky Cloak and set off.

Flying through the air in a punching stance, Yang Xi felt something was a little off.

"Even with a cape, you still need to wear a bodysuit!"

No wonder so many heroes prefer tight-fitting clothes; besides the convenience of movement, it's also to show off their good physiques.

Organizations like the Judgment Group, which follow a loose-fitting robe approach, are clearly "villains."

So after landing, Yang Xi quickly put away the starry sky cloak.

When the Horcrux was put away, it resisted somewhat reluctantly, conveying to Yang Xi a desire to stay in the outside world.

"Little guy, let me find you a new owner. We're really not a good match."

He coveted it before he got it, but after playing with it for only a short while, he gave up. Yang Xi is such a scumbag...

With Yang Xi's comforting words, the starry sky cloak gradually calmed down and finally turned into stardust and disappeared.

The Snake (巳) follows a cold and aloof path, so carrying such a lively soul weapon doesn't really suit it.

"Who should we give the starry sky cloak to when it's time to give it to Feifei when she wakes up, or Ye Fan?"

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xi decided not to give it to Ye Fan. Ye Fan wanted to live in the sunlight, and suddenly having a strange new ability would alert those with ulterior motives.

We'll talk about it later. If all else fails, we can just decompose it into dark energy.

Upon entering the site of the previous battle, the once bumpy and uneven ground had been somewhat tidied up, and some tire tracks remained.

"So someone really came."

Yang Xi strolled into the underground passage, the sound of a person's footsteps echoing continuously.

If it weren't for my powerful superpowers, I'd be terrified to walk this path alone.

"Ok?"

Yang Xi's mental power sensed that there were about a dozen people below, including some with superpowers.

"Remnants of the Saints?"

It's not surprising that such a large organization as the Saints would have some remnants. Yang Xi made no attempt to conceal his whereabouts and appeared openly in front of the two guards.

The two Black guards were grilling small sausages, with beer piled up next to them; they looked quite content.

The black man with dreadlocks picked up a grilled sausage, dipped it in ketchup, took a fragrant bite, and said, "Luke, is the treasure the leader mentioned really true?"

They've been here for seven or eight days now. Their leader, the "Olive Troll," told them there was treasure here, and they've been busy digging here and there, practically turning over the entire base.

The bald black man also picked up a sausage, but he dipped it in sweet and sour sauce. "Who knows? The leader stayed at Saints for a while before. He only dared to return to Shazhou City after hearing that Saints was finished. Maybe he really has something to gain."

"To be honest, I still miss the days of racing in Chihhai. Shazhou City is nothing but gambling and women, it's really boring."

"Be content. Do you think we can have white women every day in Chicago? That's a perk only for high-ranking officials."

These two black guys were chatting away, completely unaware that an S-class superhuman had been standing next to them for ages.

This made Yang Xi very embarrassed, and he could only cough a few times to remind the two guards.

The dreadlocked black man finally realized what was happening, and was so frightened that he almost choked to death. He coughed for a long time before finally coughing up sausage crumbs.

"You, you, you...who are you? Don't you know this place is now occupied by us, the 'Iron Horned Rhinoceros'?"

The bald black man then picked up the dagger he had just used to cut sausages and pointed it at Yang Xi; there were still traces of oil on it.

Yang Xi was speechless for a moment; these small fry were far too amateurish.

The organization is even called "Iron Horned Rhinoceros," why not "Armored Rhinoceros"?

Yang Xi said calmly, "I've never heard of Iron Horn Rhinoceros before."

The dreadlocked black man roared, "You charlatan! How dare you look down on us Ironhorn Rhinoceroses? Don't you know that our leader, the Olive Troll, is a powerful B-level ability user?"

Olive troll?

Yang Xi didn't have any recollection of it. Otherwise, since he was a B-level ability user, if he had previously worked under the Priest of Light, he would indeed know about the vault.

But why did he think of digging underground?

Besides Yang Xi, who else knew that the vault was hidden underground?

"Could it be..."

After considering a possibility, Yang Xi smiled and shook his head. He had underestimated the complexity of human nature.
