Kill them in Cyberman!

This scene lasted for about a minute, and all the energy generated by the nuclear explosion was absorbed by Albert, leaving only a devastated scene.

Looking horizontally, one third of the huge pipeline in the center was destroyed by the initial nuclear explosion, and almost all of the surrounding metal platforms were melted.

The degraded orcs that were closer and their nests were also affected by the nuclear explosion and died without a complete body.

As for Colen, he had turned into a charred corpse mixed with ashes and fell into the abyss below the center.

Looking back at Albert, he was still floating in the center of the explosion, savoring the nuclear energy he had just consumed. Apart from his burned clothes, his body was not damaged at all.

"I'm lucky. Although the energy is not much, I can use it to the minimum extent possible."

Albert's pupils suddenly turned into a black and gold color while he was talking to himself.

It's as if two colored grains of sand are constantly moving and arranging according to some pattern.

Chapter 42 Matter Manipulation

Albert landed steadily on a still intact metal platform. The heat energy of the nuclear explosion was also absorbed, and the rapid changes in temperature added some thin mist to the already humid sewer.

"S is right. It is a bit cold at this time of year."

The flow of black and gold in Albert's eyes instantly accelerated, "Let me put on my clothes."

The inorganic matter in the air was attracted and transformed by Albert, turning into a tight thermal suit similar to the original one and covering his body.

As a high-dimensional creature living in human society, Albert doesn't like running around naked, especially in such a dark sewer.

"I'm feeling better now."

The remains of the metal platform on which Albert had bounced made their way down to the entrance to the central system.

As for those degraded orcs, they had already been frightened away by the nuclear explosion and fled without a trace. Even though Albert had restrained his momentum, he did not encounter any attacks along the way.

"Catch me!"

Albert jumped down from the platform, and the guards who received the order immediately grabbed him in mid-air.

"Let's go, go back."

In the interval between blinking, Albert's pupils returned to normal.

Wait, what did Albert’s original eyes look like, you ask?

The reason why it has not been said is actually because Albert's eyes have no color, they are purely colorless. This is the only difference between Albert, a type zero, and ordinary people.

This does not mean that Albert's eyes appear empty to other people. When other conscious things observe Albert's eyes, whether directly or through recording devices such as photographs, they will see the eyes that he wants to see.

For example, S saw Albert's eyes as red, Lucy saw them as blue, and Joel saw them as black.

In short, as a species zero, Albert's eyes are a mirror that reflects the inner emotions and desires of living things. When facing what he wants to see, no one will feel any sense of disobedience, and he will subconsciously think that Albert's eyes are that color.

At the same time, just as Albert had just done, he took the initiative to change the appearance of his eyes, which was a manifestation of his activation of racial abilities.

After obtaining the energy of Coron's thermonuclear bomb, combined with the emotional psychic energy recently absorbed from S and Lucy, Albert's "level" was finally upgraded and he could use a basic racial ability - matter manipulation.

However, since the energy is still very limited, it can only control and synthesize inorganic matter on a small scale, such as making a piece of clothing for myself just now.

There is no way to create a living entity with a soul.

There are two ways to upgrade your abilities. The first is to simply and brute-force gain more energy, and then use great force to create miracles.

The second method is more sophisticated. Albert can copy and absorb some related special abilities and combine them with material manipulation to achieve better results.

Let’s put aside the digression for now and get back to Albert.

"That's all for today, dear guard. Just carry me back like this."

"Ha~"

Yawning casually, Albert just felt a little bored in such a dangerous place.

"As expected, only when desires are not satisfied will there be some motivation, but once they are slightly satisfied, we will reach this boring state."

Albert tilted his head, leaned on the solid armor of his personal guards, and began to rest with his eyes closed (shaded).

…(the dividing line for going home)

Everyone in the mansion at this moment looked shocked, because the vibration just now was very obvious, but it only shook for a moment, and then... it was over?

You know, everyone is actually ready to live and die with Albert.

Is this the result?

"It's very strange. There was indeed a violent shock wave coming from the center just now, and the radiation level also increased sharply."

"But this only lasted for a few seconds. During these few seconds, the shock wave of the explosion completely disappeared, and the radiation reaction quickly decayed to a level lower than usual!?"

Everyone looked shocked as they listened to Lucy's analysis and data presentation.

At this time, even S woke up from her coma. The housekeeper wanted to go find her master as soon as she woke up. If Joel had not taken immediate action, Lucy might not have been able to subdue S who was almost out of control.

"Then the young master should be fine!"

S was the first to raise her hand to ask a question. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. If Yoel hadn't stopped her, the consequences would probably be...

“I don’t know, because I don’t know what Albert has done. It’s just—”

Lucy couldn't maintain her usual calmness because this was something that was impossible.

"miracle……"

Yoel said in a reverent voice.

"Yes, it must be a miracle. The young master is a god!"

S was excited for a moment and remembered the first reward Albert gave him that day.

"A god..."

Lucy didn't respond. She wanted to agree, but her mechanical rationality prevented her from defining such a thing.

"Now that it's all over, let's go find the young master!"

"Aren't there some disgusting monsters there? I'm afraid the young master will..."

For some reason, S suddenly substituted the image of Albert with some pornographic waste that he had seen when he was bored.

"Crack! Crack!"

Everyone was stunned to see S slap himself twice with a red face. This sudden development left everyone confused.

"So Miss S, are you okay?"

Joel spoke first to break the awkward atmosphere.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go and save the young master!"

S trotted out of the mansion as if escaping.

"It's over. I actually had such a thought of blaspheming the young master. S, you are too ashamed to face the young master now. Aaaaaaah!"

Before they set out to look for Albert.

"Ding ~"

Everyone's terminals rang at the same time.

The source of the information was Albert, who used the built-in terminal of his personal guards to send information to everyone in the mansion.

"Please stay calm in the mansion. I will be back soon."

Seeing this message filled with Albert's lazy atmosphere, everyone felt reassured and breathed a sigh of relief.

...(About half an hour)

In the hall of the mansion, under the gaze of everyone, the guards gently placed Albert on the sofa.

"Well, everyone, I told you, there won't be any problems."

Albert looked so relaxed that it was hard to tell that he was someone who had just experienced a nuclear explosion.

"Master!"

With a scream, S immediately threw himself into Albert's arms.

"You're finally back, you know how much I..."

Seeing the housekeeper crying bitterly, Albert just stroked her soft brown hair.

"Master Albert, congratulations on your safe return."

Joel was also very happy and bowed to Albert to congratulate him.

"Sister Albert, you are finally back!"

The pink-haired cutie who had just woken up also ran over and hugged Albert's slender arms, rubbing her chubby round face against them.

Seeing his daughter being intimate with Albert, Yolton felt very relieved, and at Albert's signal, he sat down on the side where Anya was hugging him.

It was very unusual that Albert, who came out of the sewer, a filthy place, had no strange smell on his body.

"Welcome back, whatever you did, you did it."

Lucy also smiled, which was rare, like a night-blooming cereus blooming in the ice and snow, quiet and beautiful.

Albert smiled and held out his other hand. “You’re welcome. I should also thank you for your trust.”

This time, Lucy did not hesitate at all. She gently extended her hand and sat down next to Albert. She closed her eyes and leaned lightly on his shoulder, enjoying the rare tranquility at the moment.

Chapter 43 An invitation I can't refuse

The Grim Reaper's scythe never fell, and no one in Newland knew that they had been at the gates of hell for a while. Perhaps some people knew, but they would not say it.

I just wonder if those who go to the coastal areas to watch the rise and fall of the tides ever think that human beings themselves will one day be swept away and swallowed up by the surging tides just like the sand on the beach.

Even though the crisis of the nuclear explosion has been resolved, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done.

Repair work on the damaged drainage system hub, and the degraded orc tribe entrenched in the underground system.

Of course, it is not Albert's turn to do these things personally. The security forces of Hermes Technology and the Newland officials are naturally willing to do it for him.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, monsters like degraded orcs living in the shadows of cities are terrible legends.

But fear often comes from the unknown. When the information about these pitiful creatures is exposed, all parties rush to join the hunt, whether out of curiosity or for some other purpose.

There are even some forces outside of Newland who offer large bounties to recruit mercenaries to capture living degraded orcs for them.

In short, these species, which should have had strong survival and adaptability, almost disappeared in a very short period of time. There is no doubt that they suffered an unprecedented genocide.

Did the Degraded Orc do something wrong?

They just survive by instinct.

Did humans do something wrong?

We are just satisfying our own desires.

Perhaps one day humanity will pay the price for what it has done, but that will have nothing to do with Albert.

Although the door to killing has been opened, to a being like Him, what is the difference between ordinary humans and these degraded orcs?

In the corridor of Institute Zero, Lucy walked around expressionlessly, holding a small box in her hands.

"This should have been S's job, but due to some lazy idiot, the company has a backlog of work recently, so I can only come here to deliver it to you in person."

Sitting casually on the laboratory table, Lucy placed the box in front of Albert.

"Thanks, but do you know what this is?"

"I don't know. I thought it was your personal property, so I didn't hack in to check."

Albert was still wearing his casual clothes, and his leisurely temperament was seriously inconsistent with such serious experimental facilities.

"Interesting, I haven't received any information about this box, can you check its origin?"

"OK."

Lucy's eyes flashed blue for perhaps a few seconds.

"The Shinomiya Group."

Four words came out of her mouth.

"It's sent by Kaguya Shinomiya. Is it a bomb?"
