He stepped forward, picked up his Salvation Two-Piece Set, struck a pose by the glass, and scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The twenty-first century is the century of the biological!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the chilling proclamation of death, Fu Qian, now in a much more symmetrical body, left the office and even remembered to close the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, due to the recent commotion, quite an audience had gathered in the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to Fu Qian, they showed slightly more interest in Adele in the screening room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, when Fu Qian had previously made a hole in the wall, he had intentionally chosen a higher position, so they, driven by interest but unable to reach, merely congregated there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the arrival of the Tyrant undoubtedly startled them, causing them all to turn around simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, due to the overly complex nature of the newly appeared target, they hesitated considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, this hesitation did not last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closest head was instantly shattered by an invisible Air Bullet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just the beginning. Fu Qian did not stop moving, his fingers continuously tapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodies, still of flesh and blood, instantly turned into dust under the Air Bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just knew it, my marksmanship wasn’t for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scoffing, Fu Qian blew on his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all his methods, the Air Bullet was not the most powerful, but at this moment, it became the most useful tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, although his strength still rapidly recovered, his current physical shell was still too fragile to withstand the usual crafting, and any small damage could spell disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst his reflections, amidst the spill of bloody plasma, the newly crowned Tyrant Sergei slightly bent his knees and jumped directly through the hole in the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, there was still one person and one cat, yet now exceptionally quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adele, her face pressed against Henry, showed no reaction to the arrival of the Tyrant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes, previously somewhat lively, now lost the last bit of their sparkle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, perhaps due to the use of potions, although her consciousness was lost, she did not exhibit any significant aggression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down from above for two seconds, Fu Qian did not disturb her tranquility and directly pulled Henry out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter, originally curled up on Adele’s arm, was rare in his quietness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, disturbed by Fu Qian, he almost instantly exploded into a violent struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, under the Tyrant’s formidable presence, his struggle was largely futile, and his head was soon grasped by Fu Qian, forcibly directed towards his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the outside, Henry, aside from being more disheveled and blood-stained than before, exhibited no significant changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, Fu Qian could no longer afford to judge by appearances alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even someone as formidable as him found it troublesome to attempt using Sergei’s throat for speaking. It was quite a technical feat, indeed too fine a detail to also replicate something like optic nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in truth, the eyes of the Tyrant within Sergei served only as decoration for Fu Qian; his reliance was entirely on Transcendent perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, this inconvenience brought about a curious effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Fu Qian’s perception, Henry’s eyes were no longer green but red as fresh blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only were they as bright as stars, they resonated indescribably with the omnipresent colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mission completed, current mission updated][Sink the Origin of Colors into the Abyss]It really is you, huh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the pleasant notification in his mind, Fu Qian heaved a deep sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t been without doubts about this cat, but up until now, aside from an underlying entanglement of love and hate, it really hadn’t shown many abnormalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just now, when his power had recovered to a certain level, his perception of this being had undergone a fascinating change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a presence unlike others, belonging to the Transcendent realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, upon obtaining a new vessel, Fu Qian had come directly to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts had proven that the Cat from the Stars really hadn’t disappointed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at the same time, Fu Qian couldn’t help but express his critique of the storage—couldn’t the hint be a bit more detailed, or would that be too taxing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it didn’t tell him to find a physical shell, at least adding a line about restoring power in the mission description would be nice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time he had carried the cat previously wasn’t brief, but it had triggered no mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason, upon reflection, was simple: he must “see” its Transcendent aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, if he didn’t find a way to restore his Transcendence, then completing this mission would be out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Of course, the critique was merely spoken casually; what Fu Qian truly concerned himself with was the possibility reflected by the overly irresponsible storage—the worst possibility that something was restricting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new mission parameters mentioned the Abyss, an exaggerated place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combining it with a Class-1 object, it was hard not to connect the current situation with some Higher Powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the guess was correct, it would mean that the massive crisis he had been apprehensive about brewing behind the scenes might involve forces unreasonably powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A feeling of a fully shining Death Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It looks like we are going to the Abyss together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst his reflections, Fu Qian picked up Henry and cast a “look” towards the direction of the institute.\u003C\u002Fp>",1191,"2026-06-03T07:50:48.240Z","2026-06-03T07:50:53.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","560e7ca4d4aa8001cb168506e35441c28c87745964852768242189e25eda6729","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-960","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-958",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
