Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

His words weren't too direct, but the meaning was clear.

There are only two possibilities: this group of people are extremely skilled and may have even mastered the method of making combat equipment.

He's either... a mole! Or a very high-ranking mole!

Li Xia's gaze swept over the neat, deadly wounds on the ground, then looked at the precisely breached barrier. The scattered clues in her mind slowly twisted into a cohesive whole.

It can pinpoint the weak points in the energy storage station's defenses, eliminate all personnel on duty without a sound, and even produce homemade combat gear that has never been registered before...

Li Xia suddenly asked, "Why are they stealing these energy fragments?"

The researcher immediately pulled up the parameters of the energy fragments, lowering his voice even further: "These energy crystals can be used to activate the isomers, greatly improving the synchronization rate and power limit of the armor."

Secondly, high-purity energy fragments are the core fuel for starting large-scale devices, and many experiments cannot be conducted without them. Moreover…

He hesitated for a moment, glanced around, and took a half step closer: "They are peeled off from certain special isomers and can regenerate continuously."

Therefore, it is equivalent to a kind of 'eternal energy'.

The nature of this isomer, including the purification and stripping technology, has always been a top secret directly under the control of the Metasequence leader. Only the core layer of the Blazing Nuclear Power within the Nine Wings has access to the specific technology…”

Everyone fell silent. The two researchers were even trembling. Clearly, this matter had involved very high levels within the company.

"What are you afraid of?"

Li Xia's voice rang in everyone's ears, and one could even hear the ease in his tone.

He glanced around at all the researchers, then raised his chin:

"Continue the investigation and gather all the clues together."

Don't forget, I'm the head of this investigation team. Whatever happens, I'll take the blame; it won't involve you."

All the researchers were taken aback for a moment, then gradually realized that they were just junior staff members in charge of handling things, and would definitely report to their superiors first if anything happened.

The infamous head of the Fortified Defense Special Operations Department was known for his ruthless reputation during this period.

So this was the leader's intention? Did he anticipate the resistance and difficulties involved, which is why he appointed Minister Dark Flame as the head of the investigation team?

One of the researchers suddenly realized what was happening and looked towards the center with emotion—that was where the leader of the Meta-Order was located.

The leader is really too...

Li Xia ignored the researchers and stood silently to the side, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

Judging from all the signs, there is a mole among them. Could it really be a mole?

A sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the headphones.

At the same time, anxious cries could be heard in the team chat:

"Boss, something terrible has happened! A large area of ​​the outer barrier has collapsed, and the heterogeneous entities gathered outside are pouring in like crazy."

The Hunter's Guild is still putting up a fight, but it's estimated they won't be able to hold out for much longer; a rust tide has already formed!

Twelve thousand!

As usual, I'm asking for your monthly votes!

Chapter 15 Conqueror's Haki: Kamui!

Boom! A violent explosion echoed in the distance, sending a plume of black smoke soaring into the sky.

It looked like a heavy stroke of charcoal on a deep blue protective shield.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to freeze; everyone stared in astonishment, mouths agape.

The protective shield has been breached before, but just like before, it was just an accident caused by someone sabotaging the checkpoint, and the small oversight could be quickly patched up.

But this time, the commotion was completely different. The researchers watched in horror as a crack rapidly climbed upwards along the protective shield, and then, with a crisp, cracking sound, the shield shattered suddenly at the location of the black smoke, breaking off a large chunk.

As the debris fell, it began to scatter, revealing the ugly wilderness and sky outside.

“A…a protective shield…” The researchers swallowed hard, their fingers trembling as they pointed in that direction.

"Lord Darkflame!" A sharp alarm sounded through the earpiece, followed by a panicked voice.

Amidst the chaotic background noise, various roars, screams, and strange howls blend together with desperate shouts, gunshots, and screams, making it feel as if you are right there in the scene.

"My lord! The protective shield has suffered a high-risk rupture, and heteromorphs and monsters are pouring in, forming a catastrophic beast tide!"

"We and the Hunter's Guild are holding them off, but the monsters are multiplying..."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

He leaned forward, about to leap into the air, but suddenly stopped and stood still.

After a few seconds of silence, he said in the team chat:

"Black Charcoal, come over quietly, don't reveal your identity, and follow this group of investigators."

Among the three, whether it's hiding or running away, Black Charcoal, being a cat, has an innate advantage.

Letting it track is even more effective than tracking it yourself.

"Meow."

"Remember, just follow them. No matter what happens to them, don't get involved or reveal yourselves, understand?"

"Meow!" Black Charcoal responded again.

Li Xia closed the team channel, took a deep breath, looked at the sky, leaned forward, and leaped into the sky.

boom!

A wave of air emanated from his body, heading towards the direction of the collapse.

.....................

"Hold on! Hold on! Lord Darkflame is coming soon!"

Douglas, his eyes bloodshot, roared hoarsely as he stood at the forefront, his combat gear fully unleashed, revealing two blazing whips.

Each twitch seemed to leave a scorching mark in the air.

The moment low-level heteromorphs and monsters came into contact with the fire whip, they were instantly cleaved in two as if sliced ​​by a hot-melting blade.

Reinhardt held a long-handled hammer crackling with electricity. He charged into the monster horde, swinging the hammer wildly.

The hammer was extremely large and heavy. When it spun, it emitted a continuous wailing sound, mixed with the sharp crackling of lightning, making a crackling noise.

Its terrifying momentum was like a tornado, sucking monsters into its path and then striking them with lightning and giant hammers.

These low-level monsters didn't even have a chance to fly before being smashed into thin pieces by the giant hammer.

The two of them cleared the monsters extremely quickly. Behind them, the low-level hunters and the special operations team members and patrol members who formed the front line were also firing short, azure beams of energy guns, which flew towards the beast horde in front of them like dense raindrops.

But there were just too many monsters, an endless stream, like a tidal wave. Even through the shattered barrier, it was clear that the outside world had become an ocean of monsters, roughly estimated to be no less than a million.

More importantly, among these millions of monsters, there are not only low-level heteromorphs and monsters, but also some level three, level two and level one beings.

They lurk among the monsters, their forms concealed, posing a great threat when they strike unexpectedly.

If it weren't for the three titled hunters from the Hunter's Guild who held off the majority of the enemy, this place would probably have been overrun in an instant.

Douglas, panting heavily, stared bloodshot at the monsters still surging inward. Such a massive monster tide was definitely not normal; someone must have deliberately lured them here. But what method could have been used to make these mindless monsters gather into such a large group for an attack?

At this moment, various voices rose and fell within the Jianbi Defense public channel.

Riots seemed to have broken out in every place, including Liuhui Street and other company areas, drawing the attention of Jianbi Defense's forces.

Although the Fortified Defense Force has tens of thousands of armed forces under its command, half of them are patrol teams similar to sheriffs. Both their equipment and personnel quality are very poor. They are fine for maintaining order and patrolling the streets, but sending them to the battlefield to fight would be tantamount to suicide.

Therefore, the actual number of troops that could be mobilized for the entire fortified defense was only a little over 10,000.

After being distributed like this, it would be good if half of them could be used.

The Fortified Defense Headquarters also needs manpower; it's impossible to deploy all its resources there.

Although the other eight companies have internal security departments, they are small but highly skilled forces of only a few hundred people, used to handle emergencies, escorting goods, and a range of other tasks, while also protecting the company's internal operations. They are unlikely to be deployed elsewhere.

Douglas licked his chapped lips, his spirits beginning to wane from overusing his combat gear.

The battle lines are retreating steadily, and the beast tide is getting closer and closer.

The three titled hunters are extremely powerful, and conventional human wave tactics are ineffective against them.

However, the beast tide is not entirely composed of low-level monsters. If the Level 1 heteromorphs lurking among them suddenly make their move, they will also have to spare some of their strength to defend against and deal with them.

Azure wielded a massive greatsword, its surface shimmering with layers of water. With each swing, the air was filled with the sound of crashing waves, and a fresh, slightly salty scent wafted out, like a sea breeze.

The isomers in front of him were neatly cut like grass, or their abdomens would suddenly swell and then burst open, spraying out large puddles of foul-smelling water.

Occasionally, he would let out a sharp shout, causing a massive torrent of water, like a tsunami, to surge up from the ground and sweep away, helping to relieve the pressure on the others.

Around the jade, vines were dancing wildly.

These vines produce enormous flowers, or extend branches with sharp thorns that lash wildly, sometimes even spraying out tiny seeds.

As the monsters ran wildly, they suddenly shrank, and then countless twigs and buds sprouted from their bodies, turning into small saplings.

Wherever she went, it was as if she created low-lying forests.

Violet then cast down patches of deep purple light and a light mist, melting the monsters.

If it weren't for the three of them stopping most of the surging beast tide, the battle line would probably have been breached by now.

For some reason, Douglas and Reinhardt felt that these three titled hunters were not as strong as the Crimson Blood Mist they had seen with the adults that night.

Was it to hold back, or was there another reason? At this moment, the question only lingered briefly in their minds; they had no time to think about it carefully.

The only hope lies with you, sir... but faced with such a terrifying beast tide, Lord Darkflame truly...

After observing silently from the sky for a while, Li Xia finally moved. Like a shooting star, he plummeted from the sky to the ground and crashed into the herd of beasts.

boom!

The ground rose high, and countless fragments of rock flew everywhere, leaving the surrounding monsters with bloodied heads.

Li Xia stood at the very center of the beast tide, ignoring the monsters surging towards him.

Despite their frantic clawing and roaring, trying to bite her, Li Xia seemed to be surrounded by an invisible barrier, preventing anything from getting close to her.

Monsters, low-level heteromorphs, beast hordes...

"Awoo!"

"coming!"

An egg charged straight in, smashing through all the monsters in its path, leaving its surface spotless and untouched.

The dragon egg spun around once, then peeked out with a roar, swam around happily, and landed on Li Xia's shoulder.

Li Xia's gaze swept around.

Both heteromorphs and monsters are essentially combinations of human desires and spirit, so...

The clothes moved on their own without any wind, fluttering slowly, accompanied by a faint crackling sound that grew louder and louder.

Tiny, pale golden lightning bolts flashed and disappeared rapidly around them, and at that moment, both Li Xia and Ao Wu's eyes seemed to gleam with a golden light.

Conqueror's Haki: Kamui!

Conqueror's Haki: Dragon's Might!

"Buzz!"

A powerful buzzing sound, accompanied by a huge air explosion, created an intense, almost tangible shockwave that spread out in a hemispherical shape in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and the clouds and wind, as if summoned by their master, swept wildly from all directions.

The rapidly spreading domineering aura caused the surrounding air pressure to drop drastically, turning their surroundings into a kind of void.

The incoming air stirred up the wind, forming a huge vortex, and the dark clouds in the sky began to swirl along with it.

The surrounding commotion suddenly stopped, as if someone had pressed a freeze button, and the monsters remained in their previous forms.

He stood frozen in place like a wax figure, but upon closer inspection, the ferocity in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a sense of disorientation.

The rapidly spreading domineering aura was like a whirlwind rising from the ground. Even the hunters and team members thousands of meters away could only let out a scream and steady themselves.

Pat, pat... pat pat pat...
