Multiverse Chat Group: My Abstract System is Too Overpowered

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Demonstration of Power



At the sight of the sharp and devastatingly deep sword marks carved into the earth, everyone's eyes widened in shocked disbelief.

Even the Pole Devourers craned their necks and stood frozen, their primitive minds struggling to process what they had witnessed.

With a casual wave of his hand, a single sword energy had slashed out, leaving such a terrifying mark on the ground. Could this really be a human?

Victor tapped the ground lightly with his toes, leapt gracefully into the air, and descended slowly into the center of the battlefield like an autumn leaf carried by the wind.

Only then did the hunters snap out of their stupor and raise their weapons at the surrounding beasts, though none dared to pull the trigger.

The pack of Pole Devourers seemed to sense the overwhelming danger emanating from this newcomer. They looked at Victor with visible nervousness, the sensory tentacles on either side of their necks swaying frantically as they emitted strange pulses of dark blue light.

Mark's expression tightened as he observed this behavior, and he immediately shouted a warning to Victor, "Be careful! They're communicating!"

Although Mark did not know who this person was, it was clear that he was no enemy, at least not at the moment.

At Mark's urgent reminder, Victor remembered the function of the Pole Devourers' distinctive tentacles.

These served as their sensory organs, responsible for absorbing life essence and facilitating communication among their kind.

This group of creatures most likely coordinated their attack strategy.

Despite having "beast" in their name, the Pole Devourers were fundamentally different from ordinary wild animals.

They were highly intelligent, had their own complex language system, and understood tactical warfare, making them far more dangerous than mere predators!

"You have no chance!" Victor pointed his sword to the sky and declared with absolute authority, "Fall!

Countless shining long swords, formed by pure spiritual power, materialized in the air above the battlefield and fell upon the creatures below like divine judgment!

In the span of a single breath, every single Pole Devourer lay dead!

The slain beasts instantly liquefied into pools of black gore, leaving only bleached gray skeletons scattered across the ground.

Witnessing this impossible sight, the Wasteland Hunters were hit with a second wave of profound shock.

They were stunned not only by Victor's overwhelming power and supernatural attack methods, but also by the unprecedented aftermath: the Pole Devourers had turned into pools of black liquid!

This was a phenomenon they had never encountered before!

According to their understanding, Pole Devourers would resurrect shortly after death, making permanent elimination impossible.

How had these creatures turned into pools of viscous black liquid?

Could it be that... Pole Devourers could actually be killed for good?

As soon as this thought was formed, many Wasteland Hunters felt their hearts race with excitement.

As surface operatives, they regularly fought these monsters.

However, they had never had the means to truly eliminate the Pole Devourers, so they were always on the defensive.

If they could find a way to permanently destroy these creatures, it would revolutionize their future ground operations!

As the commander of the Wasteland Hunters, Mark was undoubtedly the person most eager to learn how to completely eliminate the Pole Devourers.

However, he kept his composure, realizing that now wasn't the time to discuss such matters.

He cast a meaningful glance at Ran Bing, who nodded in understanding and began directing the team to resume collecting the scattered supplies.

Now that the immediate crisis had passed, the resources they had been forced to abandon earlier could not be left behind.

Mark approached Victor with measured, heavy steps.

"My friend, thank you for your help. I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Victor flashed across the distance of more than ten meters in an instant, his face appearing directly in front of Mark's.

Mark jerked back in startlement, his right hand instinctively reaching for the pistol at his waist, but he finally restrained himself.

Ignoring Mark's obvious tension, Victor cupped his chin with one hand and examined the exoskeleton armor covering Mark's body with obvious fascination, occasionally tapping the heavy steel plating with his knuckles.

The collision of metal and flesh produced sharp clashes that echoed across the battlefield.

"Impressive exoskeleton armor, very stylish. Would you be interested in selling them?"

"Excuse me?"

Mark stood there stunned by the unexpected question.

Even Bai Yuekui and the others who had just stepped down from their flying sword were equally stunned.

"Victor, are you really interested in this piece of scrap metal?"

Scrap metal?

Mark's face immediately darkened.

This was the Dawn, the most advanced gravity body suit in the entire Lighthouse Fleet!

However, remembering the effortless agility that Bai Yuekui and her companions had displayed moments ago, it wasn't difficult to deduce that the man in front of him wasn't the only one among these surface survivors who possessed extraordinary strength.

If all the others were as powerful as their apparent leader, then the Dawn would indeed be nothing more than obsolete scrap metal in their presence.

Victor lifted his index finger and wagged it playfully. "You don't understand the allure, do you? What man can resist the lure of handsome mechs and power armor?"

There was no denying that the exoskeleton power armor was indeed vulnerable when it came to immortal cultivators.

However, it was also undeniable that it looked absolutely magnificent!

Even if he never used it, having a piece like that in his collection would be extremely satisfying.

"My apologies, my friend. The gravity body is critical equipment for the lighthouse. I have no authority to sell it to others."

Mark shook his head with genuine regret, then changed the subject.

"But if you're really interested, you could come back with us to the Lighthouse and meet with the City Lord. He might be willing to negotiate the sale of some units."

Bai Yuekui and the others: ...

Dear brother, your ulterior motives are so transparent that everyone can hear them loud and clear!

By bringing Victor back to the lighthouse, Mark obviously hoped to extract the method for permanently eliminating the Pole Devourers as well as the secrets behind their superhuman abilities from him.

Noticing the disdainful glances of Bai Yuekui and her team, Mark's expression became embarrassed.

Was his intention really so obvious?

But he really wanted to bring Victor and the others to the Lighthouse.

Not only to find out how to destroy the Pole Devourers for good and how to acquire such incredible power, but also to find out if there were any other survivors on the surface!

If so, did that mean they wouldn't have to remain trapped on the Lighthouse indefinitely?

"Acceptable. However, I have other business to attend to first. After I finish my business, I'll visit your lighthouse, of course."

Victor readily agreed to Mark's suggestion.

Visiting the Lighthouse wasn't a spontaneous decision, it was something Victor had been planning for quite some time.

He wanted to investigate the mysterious half-brained creature aboard the Lighthouse.

He also hoped to gather information about the Lord of Light and Shadow from the Church of Light and Shadow.

But priorities came first.

Besides, nothing was more important than his abstract points!

Mark couldn't quite hide the hint of disappointment that crossed his features.

In his opinion, Victor's words were simply a polite way of declining the invitation.

After you finish your business, you'll visit the lighthouse?

Was getting to the lighthouse really as easy as dropping by someone's house?

The lighthouse was always in motion, and even they couldn't return without the lighthouse's guidance.

How could people who had never been to the lighthouse find it without a guide?

Although he was thinking this privately, Mark kept his expression neutral.

"Then... could you tell me how to permanently eliminate the Pole Devourers?"

"I'll discuss that when I reach the lighthouse."

Mark could only smile bitterly.

Surely such an important secret would not be revealed so easily?

"Very well. I'll wait for you at the lighthouse."

Victor summoned his flying sword and called for Bai Yuekui and the others to board.

"Well then, farewell!"
