“It’s no surprise that it’s Supernova Sha Lina, she has managed to hold her ground against the Seven Star Generals of the society…”
Not too far away, a few shadowy figures stealthily congregated, assembling a triple-tube cannon covered with different magical patterns.
Once an ‘Energy stone’ is fitted into the energy slot, the intricate patterns gradually illuminate.
“A level Ⅳ magic cannon from the Sass Kingdom… It’ll give that damsel quite a kick.”
A burly man looked at the shape of Sha Linna and sneered.
“According to the command of the Twelve Prophets, anyone who is against us is our enemy… no matter who they are!”
“Nature prevails!”
A group of Natural Society members followed and shouted their slogan, preparing to fire the cannon.
Whoosh!
Just then, a glimmer of silvery-white light shoots across.“Someone is here?!”
The members looked up and saw a figure in silver armor swiftly approaching, with the silver light circulating around his right hand which transformed into a blade.
Swish!
The blade flashed, turning into an extremely fine white line, cutting through the void.
Sizzle!
The energy slot of the magic cannon was directly demolished, and many magic patterns were destroyed, making screeching, electric sounds.
“Singer?”
The burly man looked at his companion who was a step behind.
The man’s expression was dumbfounded, and a thin line of blood appeared around his waist.
Soon after, his upper and lower body were completely separated, with his internal organs and blood pouring onto the ground.
“Members of the Natural Society?”
Click! Click!
Stepping on the grass, Su Lu stepped forward, his voice as cold as ice.
The [Fate Manipulator] is ready to face the challenge of fate.
What is fate’s challenge? It’s happening right now!
Actively confronting the backlash of fate is also one of the shortcuts for the [Fate Manipulator] to improve!
The metallic war blade in his hand suddenly liquifies and transforms into a massive shield.
Bang! Bang!
The next moment, two gunshot sounds rang.
Two dents emerged on the shield as smoke snaked upwards, the sheer force of the impact made Su Lu stagger backward: “Standard firearms? Armor piercing bullets?”
He scoffed, charging forward. The dents on the shield shimmered like water waves, automatically repairing the damage.
“Liquid metal armor? You’re from James Laboratory!”
The burly man yelled in shock and quickly retreated.
Although they were members of the Natural Society, they didn’t have the convenience of carrying mecha armor.
Indeed, they could only be regarded as ordinary people with training. With the weapons and bullets in their hands, they might be able to ambush a mecha master but wouldn’t stand a chance in a direct encounter.
“You’re correct… but unfortunately, there are no prizes for guessing.”
Su Lu held the shield in his right hand and flicked his left hand, revealing a silver whip, which whipped out fiercely.
“Ah!”
Another member of the Natural Society was caught by his right leg and pulled towards Su Lu with a swift movement.
“Under normal circumstances, I would hand them over to the kingdom, but I’ve decided that I will enforce the law myself.”
He slightly applied force with his left hand, and the sound of bone fractures echoed.
After casually tossing the body aside, he looked at the leader: “Now… there’s only you left!”
“Your voice sounds young… just who are you?”
The burly man continued to retreat, his face filled with panic.
“You don’t need to know… and besides, you’re just cannon fodder and a nobody in your organization…” Su Lu seemed disappointed: “I thought… at least there would be a mecha master to offer protection from the shadows.”
On his left hand, a clump of liquid metal separated from the suit and formed a silver knife.
Whoosh!
The knife turned into a silver stream of light and was casually flung towards the burly man.
[Fate Manipulator]’s ‘Lucky Shot’!
Thud!
The silver flying knife hit right on the man’s right hand, cutting off the hand that was holding the gun, spurting out blood.
“This guy is also indifferent…”
Su Lu glanced over at the battlefield in the farm where Sha Linna, belied her slender figure, was battling the mecha in a stalemate. He let out a chuckle and walked toward the burly man.
The silver flying knife stuck in the ground suddenly liquified and was absorbed into his armor.
“Tell me… the actual stronghold of the Natural Society.”
Su Lu grabbed the man, his voice cold and aloof.
“I… won’t… speak…”
The burly man struggled to breathe and frantically replied.
“No… You will.”
Su Lu’s helmet automatically retracted, revealing a mysterious glint in his eyes: “Look into my eyes…”
…
With the [Fate Manipulator] enhanced spirit, breaking the mind of an ordinary person was not difficult at all.
Soon, Su Lu got the information he needed, including several strongholds of the Natural Society in Silver City as well as the burly man’s informant — a blonde woman named Dokasha.
“Based on the previously acquired intelligence, the top echelon of the Natural Society comprises a council of thirteen prophets. Its various departments are independent of each other. For instance, the ‘Seven Star Generals’ refers to the newly trained mecha masters… whereas this Dokasha is the head of intelligence in Silver City and holds quite a high-ranking position…”
Su Lu was well aware of his own power.
His master-level extraordinary strength was more than enough for self-defense, but infiltrating the enemy’s base might pose some challenges.
If he were to hunt down high-ranking members like the ‘Prophet,’ he would inevitably encounter a level Ⅴ strength clash which could place him at a disadvantage.
“This is the power of ‘Fate,’ huh?”
Su Lu put effort into his right hand, and a piercing sound of bone fractures resonated.
At the same time, he also received the ‘feedback’ from the ‘challenge.’
Through his senses, the abilities of a first-level [Fate Manipulator] had slightly improved. Although the progress was not substantial, the sensation was remarkably clear.
“At this rate, I would fulfill the requirements for a level-up after a few times… if I keep ‘risking my life,’ defeating one formidable enemy after another arranged by fate, I don’t think I’ll encounter any obstacles before reaching level five…”
Su Lu was genuinely surprised.
Although [Fate Manipulator] had its pitfalls, the speed of leveling up was also astonishingly fast.
Boom!
Simultaneously, there was a massive explosion from the farm. A white mecha could be faintly seen, soaring up into the sky and leaving the battlefield.
The flames soared into the sky, appearing extremely harsh in the moonless night.
“Did Sha Linna win? No… it’s probably more likely that the opponent lacked the confidence to take her down in a short amount of time. With the reinforcements from the capital soon to arrive, they chose to retreat… It seems that my senior’s strength exceeded the enemy’s expectations…”
Su Lu prepared to leave without looking back.
Normal people don’t look back at explosions!
Furthermore, whether he runs into Sha Linna or the investigators, he would have to explain a load of things; it is better to leave directly.
But at this moment, Su Lu’s expression suddenly changes.
He noticed the invading Spirit World’s strength escalating abruptly!
“Is it due to the impact of Sha Linna’s battle? Or is it because I killed these people, and their resentment and the smell of death at their demise attracted it?”
There were far too many factors, Su Lu could only make assumptions.
The next moment, he saw multiple rifts opening in the void, with a vast amount of black fog gushing out.
In the black fog, white tendrils greedily extended towards the corpses on the ground.
“The Spirit World Lock, huh?”
