Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1598: It is Him

The burning Vorvadoss spread its arms wide and sprayed out another burst of green flames as it tried to burn the bladed leaves in the sky to a crisp.

However, the burning Vorvadoss never expected that the leaves would bear similarly incredible resistance to fire.

The leaves shot past the flames and were so densely packed that no ordinary entity would be able to avoid the attack.

Shockingly, the flaming Vorvadoss was able to dart between the leaves and avoid the bulk of the attack, though its cloak was shredded to a pulp.

He was revealed to be an indistinct silvery mess, a two-dimensional cutout without human form. No one could imagine that this would be Vorvadoss' true form underneath his cloak.

Despite having seen Vorvoadoss' true form, Zhou Ying didn't hesitate. She hid herself within her storm of golden leaves, allowing them to provide cover for her as she darted forward.

"[Storm of Leaves: Void Cut]!"

Her black daggers cut at the void, at the burning Vorvadoss' body. Even its green flames were unable to block her black daggers from wounding it.

Even more flames erupted from the burning Vorvadoss, green and dismal like those from the depths of hell. They seemed poised to burn the entire universe to a crisp.

The green flames poured forth in a flood that threatened to burn the entire warehouse down. Zhou Ying certainly couldn't allow the burning Vorvadoss to do so.

"[Avatar of the Fae: Worldbound Enclosure]!"

Zhou Ying summoned tens of thousands of wood dragons from the floor of the warehouse, enough to fill up the entire battlefield. They were thrice as thick as before, and their barkskin shone with metallic luster.

The green flames were cordoned by the wood dragons.

Zhou Ying passed straight through the green flames. The flames, which would have burned all else to cinders, were completely ineffective against her.

Zhou Ying proceeded freely through the flames, a specter lit by flashes of green, like a demon from the underworld. "[Storm of Leaves: Fourfold Void Cut]!"

Zhou Ying cluZhou Ying gripped a dagger with each hand, and the tendrils growing out of her lower body wrapped around two more. The daggers slashed through the void, and all four converged on the same spot.

She easily killed the burning Vorvadoss.

Then, Sun Mengmeng walked up to N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian, who reared back as if she were facing some incredible foe.

Sun Xiaowu's demonstration of strength had shocked them all.

He had killed a member of Eternal Sun with a single punch.

Even if Arwassa had been injured, none of them could have done the same.

Clearly, Sun Xiaowu was their superior in strength. Only the heads of the Ancient Gods' Abode or of Eternal Sun might have been able to take Sun Xiaowu on.

Sun Xiaowu's companions were surely about as strong.

Sun Mengmeng asked, "Why do you work with them?"

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian was taken aback by the question.

It didn't expect that Sun Mengmeng would ask her such a thing.

"You're a human genetic hunter, aren't you?"

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian was shocked. "Why do you know that? Could you... know some human genetic hunters?"

Sun Mengmeng smiled wryly. "What, don't we look like humans?

"Not at all," N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian replied.

Sun Mengmeng touched her face. "Well, there's nothing unusual about me—no wings, tail, or claws. Why don't you consider us human?"

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian responded with a frown. "As far as I know, there aren't any human hunters as strong as you are."

There were a few strong human genetic hunters, but they paled in comparison to those among the four prime races of the Milky Way, especially in the fourth realm, where none of the genetic hunters of the Milky Way had a true stronghold.

As far as N'tse-Kaambl knew, the only strong human hunter she was aware of was Hong Tianqi.

Beyond that was, well, nothing. Hong Tianqi's successor, General Yan Long, was a fair bit weaker and not worth mentioning in the fourth realm at all.

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian was somewhat of a mutant among human hunters.

Not only had it joined the Ancient Gods' Abode, but was also strange in its own right.

"Haven't you heard of Team Zenith?" Sun Mengmeng asked.

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian shook its head. "I'm not familiar with it."

Sun Mengmeng was somewhat speechless. "So we're not as popular as I had expected, then."

Many within the third realm could recognize them—not just human hunters, but hunters from other races within the Milky Way as well.

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian said, "Sorry, it's been quite a while since I returned."

It was only to be expected that N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian wouldn't know them. For one, it hadn't returned to the Milky Way for a very long time, and there was also the issue of timing.

The members of Team Zenith had grown famous as second-realm hunters when Zhang Lie led them to conquer it and free humans from the oppression of the sura. Team Zenith had been lauded as heroes thereafter.

In the third realm, Team Zenith had occasional flashes of brilliance, but which were largely superseded by Zhang Lie's own fame.

In the fourth realm, the genetic hunters were far more concerned about their own safety rather than what was happening in the previous three realms. It was only natural that N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian wouldn't recognize them.

"What about the Zenith Dojo?" Sun Mengmeng continued.

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian thought for a moment. "I have some memory of it. It seems to have grown rather famous recently."

"And you've heard of Zhang Lie, surely?" Sun Mengmeng continued.

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian turned to her memories. "Oh, indeed! Zhang Lie's famous. Hardly anyone in the Milky Way isn't aware of him. He's the hero of the humans, perhaps of all hunters of the Milky Way. If not for his limit-breaking potions, we would have a far harder time in the dimensional world."

In some sense, N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian had benefited from the limit-breaking potions that Zhang Lie had released. If he hadn't prioritized distributing them to fourth-realm hunters, many would have a far harder time surviving. That it had been able to reach such a vaunted position within the Ancient Gods' Abode was testament to the boost that limit-breaking potions provided.

"Hold on..."

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian's gaze landed on Zhang Lie, who had been listening to the conversation.

"This person looks just like him!"

Sun Mengmeng shook her head. "It is him."
