Chapter 77: The God Who Appeared in War, an Unfathomable Power

"Beautiful!"

Zhang Yu laughed loudly, his arm muscles bulging, and in the instant the mutated black bull froze, he hoisted the unknown-weight beast high with a shoulder throw.

"Boom!!!"

The ground shook violently as the mutated black bull was smashed hard onto the concrete road, cracks spreading like a spiderweb; before it could struggle, Zhang Yu leaped up and drove a brutal elbow strike into the bull's neck, ending the fight completely.

He stood up panting heavily and flipped the middle finger at Chen Hao behind him.

"Although that arrow shot just now was very accurate, I still have to say."

"Can you damn well change your position next time? I had it controlled; couldn't you just walk in front of it and shoot an arrow straight at its head?"

"With such a huge head, you insisted on finding its temple from under my arm."

"If you hadn't hit it, I would be the one dead."

"You don't understand a damn thing!"

Chen Hao rolled his eyes at Zhang Yu.

"If I didn't have absolute confidence in myself, could I have chosen this angle?"

"And just now you said I did a beautiful job, and now you say this."

"Aren't you afraid of breaking my heart?"

Zhang Yu did not refute, only straightening the raised middle finger forward by another arc.

"But one must say, where did this bull come from?"

"A house pet, or raised by some shop to be slaughtered?"

"Do we still have such honest shops here? If I knew the shop name, I would definitely go visit and taste it."

Zhang Yu looked at the corpse of the mutated black bull on the ground, smacking his lips.

"Let the Heavenly Pivot Bureau keep this one, why? Can't mutated beef be eaten?"

Chen Hao said carelessly, and Zhang Yu nodded upon hearing this.

"Reasonable."

As the first ray of dawn sunlight pierced through the clouds, battle reports from all regions arrived like snowflakes.

On the electronic big screens, real-time footage from major battle zones switched constantly; in the communication channels, the voices of Heavenly Pivot Bureau directors from various regions sounded in turn.

"The Imperial Capital has completed the comprehensive extermination of mutated creatures; the threat in the core urban area is eliminated, and a secondary screening is underway."

"Magic City Heavenly Pivot Bureau reports: mutated creatures across the entire region have been purged; the logistics team is carrying out pollution treatment."

"Pengcheng Heavenly Pivot Bureau has completed its combat mission; the city defense system remains intact, and casualty statistics are being compiled."

"Jin Ling Heavenly Pivot Bureau reports: all mutated beast packs have been annihilated."

"Hangcheng Heavenly Pivot Bureau has eliminated all mutated creatures within the city except for some pets; the Heavenly Pivot Bureau has suffered no casualties."

"Chang'an..."

"Yangcheng..."

In less than twelve hours, the beast tide triggered by the first Qi Tide was completely eliminated; and in this war, everyone witnessed the near dimensional-strike crushing of mutated creatures by human weapons.

The future may indeed be the era of Qi, the era of the extraordinary; but for now, this era still belongs to technology.

However, it can be seen that in this war, powerful ability users and holders of the Treasures of the Heavens appeared in various regions.

Those who had already left their names on the Extraordinary List before the Qi Tide, such as Gu Che, Lu Jing, Lin Lin Ruoxi, and Shen Mo, became even stronger after the Qi Tide; with their own strength alone, they killed hundreds or even more mutated creatures, completely crushing them.

People who had previously turned their gaze toward the two unknown fifth-rank experts due to the "Ability User Strength Classification Standard" released by the Heavenly Pivot Bureau earlier now, because of this war, refocused their attention on them.

Indeed, compared to the fifth-rank experts capable of "one person defeating a nation," Gu Che, Lu Jing, and others were indeed not powerful, but this did not mean they were weak; on the contrary, each of them stood above the vast majority of ability users, truly the chosen sons of heaven of this era.

But compared to these powerful figures possessing the Treasures of the Heavens, the ability users who also displayed formidable strength in the war moved people even more.

The Treasures of the Heavens were too far from them, but abilities were very close; indeed, many of them were ability users themselves, or discovered they had awakened abilities after the Qi Tide.

Therefore, they could better understand how difficult it was to develop abilities to be as powerful as those people.

Whoever obtains the Treasures of the Heavens will become a powerful figure.

But abilities are not such that whoever awakens them can become a powerful figure.

However, none of this is the most important thing; what is important is that the person who appeared in this war, who absolutely possessed fifth-rank strength, no, one should say—God!

That was a video that appeared online last night.

In the video.

A brilliant golden pillar of light shot up to the sky, piercing through the clouds; an immense pressure swept over the entire city like a tide, stemming from an absolute dominance at the level of life itself; like a giant dragon looking down on ants, a god disregarding the mortal world.

"Boom—"

Invisible waves spread out; all mutated creatures on the ground froze instantly; their originally blood-red, bloodthirsty eyes suddenly contracted, and the fangs that were crazily tearing and biting trembled uncontrollably.

The next second, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, heads bowed, claws and fangs retracted, not daring to make even the slightest whimper, as if submitting to the supreme existence.

A figure floated in the center of the light pillar, robes fluttering without wind; his expression was indifferent, with no anger, no killing intent, only a tranquility transcending the world.

On the ground, whether survivors, members of the Heavenly Pivot Bureau who had arrived, or those ability users who had not joined the Heavenly Pivot Bureau but were willing to stand out to help fight the mutated creatures, they all stood stunned, looking at that figure in the sky with disbelief.

That figure slowly raised a hand; though it was a simple movement, the air within a thousand meters suddenly solidified; then it was seen that those mutated creatures seemed to have their throats choked by an invisible giant hand, struggling constantly but unable to break free.

"Die."

A casually spoken single word, yet it exploded in everyone's mind like a divine oracle.

"Bang bang bang bang—!"

All the prostrated mutated creatures exploded simultaneously, blood splattering everywhere, limbs flying, as if forcibly crushed by some pressure.

The video ended there, but everyone who watched it could not help but show the same expression as the bystanders in the video.

They were stunned, they were confused, they were in disbelief.

That posture, that immense power, was simply like the gods in myth and legend.

Such a casually spoken single word, yet it could annihilate all mutated creatures within sight on the ground.

It was hard to believe.

"This video is real, right?"

Beneath the video, someone asked hesitantly; it was not that he was unwilling to believe, but that this power was far too beyond reason.

Even though they knew Great Xia possessed a powerhouse like Elder Zhong who had obtained the Divine Template, and knew there were still two Tier-5 powerhouses on Blue Star, yet when they truly saw a powerhouse distinct from Elder Zhong appear before their eyes, they still found it incredible.

Moreover, they had never seen Elder Zhong display such a posture before.
