Chapter 262 Global Panic, Searching for Mr.
Deep in the Amazon rainforest of South America.
A figure made of liquid metal, constantly changing shape, was frantically traversing the forest. Its speed was astonishing; each time it landed, it corroded a large hole in the ground beneath its feet.
He is Carlos, the "Man of a Thousand Faces," an S-class wanted criminal on the international dark web, a rare and powerful superhuman who can freely transform his body between solid, liquid, and gaseous states.
Using this ability, he assassinated political figures from many countries and successfully escaped countless encirclements.
But today, for the first time, he felt death approaching.
Behind him, two streaks of light, one gold and one red, followed him at a leisurely pace.
The two streaks of light didn't deliberately chase after him. Instead, they attacked him like cats playing with mice, blocking his escape route and forcing him to constantly change direction, thus exhausting his stamina.
"Damn it! Who are you?!" Carlos roared furiously with his mental power as he fled. "I'm willing to give up all my wealth! Just let me go!"
No one answered him.
His answer was a golden beam of light descending from the sky.
"Plasma Light Speed Fist!"
Aiolia's emotionless voice echoed in the sky.
The golden beam of light, like a spear of the gods, pierced through Carlos's liquid metal body in an instant.
"ah--!"
Carlos let out a piercing scream as his body was instantly vaporized by the intense, violent energy.
He knew that the other party was warning him.
The next blow will kill him.
"Aiolia, don't kill it all at once, it's too boring." Ares' booming voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Let's get this over with quickly. Sir doesn't like wasting time," Aiolia replied coldly.
Just as Aiolia was preparing to deliver the final blow and end this tedious hunt, Lin Fan's voice suddenly rang in their minds.
"Stop playing."
Both of them froze at the same time.
"A big guy has woken up. Your job is here."
The gentleman's voice!
Ares and Aiolia exchanged a glance, their eyes instantly becoming incredibly sharp.
They ignored Carlos, who was barely clinging to life, and in a flash, they soared into the sky, hovering ten thousand meters above the ground.
"Sir, please issue the decree!" the two men responded respectfully in their hearts.
Without wasting any words, Lin Fan directly transmitted a message into their minds.
It was a message about the "Star Beast," and an image of a pair of crimson giant eyes opening on the far side of the moon.
The moment they received this message, even Ares and Aiolia, the two fearless gods of war, felt a chill that ran deep in their souls.
What is that?!
The malice and destructive intent contained in those eyes sent a chill down the spines of these two "experts" who manipulated war and killing.
It was an absolute "evil" that existed purely for destruction and devouring!
"This...this is..." Ares's voice was dry for the first time.
"Star Beast, a cosmic calamity that feeds on planets." Aiolia's expression was also extremely solemn. "I never imagined that such a creature was hiding in the solar system."
After a brief moment of shock, an even more fervent fighting spirit surged within them!
The stronger the opponent, the more excited they become!
This is the kind of battle they should fight with all their might!
"Sir!" Ares licked his lips, his eyes burning with rage. "You mean...we should go and kill it?"
"It's just a cub yet. The two of you working together shouldn't be a problem," Lin Fan said calmly, "but not now."
"It has just awakened and needs some time to accumulate energy before it begins to take real action. Moreover, starting a war directly on the moon would be too drastic and would frighten these little guys on Earth."
"Your current task is to deal with the 'beacon' it has deployed on Earth."
"A beacon?" Aiolia asked.
"Before it officially 'feeds,' the Starbeast will release an energy beacon onto the target planet. This beacon, like a virus, will infect and transform the life on the target planet, turning them into its 'tableware' and 'vanguard.' At the same time, it will also analyze and interfere with the planet's energy field, preparing for the arrival of the beacon itself."
Lin Fan's divine sense swept across the Earth and quickly locked onto an unusual energy point.
"The first beacon has landed."
Location: Antarctica.
"Go there, find it, destroy it. Remember, leave no survivors. Creatures infected by the beacon can no longer be considered life; they are merely tentacles extending from the behemoth."
"Yes, sir!"
Ares and Aiolia accepted the decree without further hesitation.
A dazzling light erupted from both of them simultaneously.
Golden Saint Cloths and dark red Divine Armor appeared and combined on their bodies, eventually transforming into two sets of God Cloths that were full of streamlined beauty and extended with huge metal wings from their backs!
This is their strongest fighting form!
"Whoosh!"
Two streaks of light, like comets streaking across the sky, instantly broke the sound barrier and sped toward the South Pole.
Below them, Carlos, the "Thousand-Faced One" who had narrowly escaped death, stared blankly at the two streaks of light that vanished in an instant in the sky, completely dumbfounded.
What did he just see?
God... divine robe?
Isn't that something that only exists in myths and legends?
Just what kind of being did he offend?!
……
Meanwhile, the effects of the pair of crimson giant eyes on the far side of the moon are continuing to unfold globally.
China, Beijing, Command Center No. 1.
Li Zhenguo stared at the large screen with a livid face, watching the last segment of signal, filled with jumbled static, transmitted back by the "Sky Eye" radio telescope.
"Is it confirmed? The signal source is on the far side of the moon?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Confirmed, Minister." A researcher in a white lab coat wiped the sweat from his brow, his voice trembling. "We detected an extremely regular, yet undecipherable, faster-than-light signal. After that, all our deep-space exploration equipment received a… a mental shock imbued with intense malice. Several of our psychic abilities suffered a complete mental breakdown the moment they came into contact with that shock, turning them into idiots!"
Li Zhenguo's fists were clenched tightly under the table.
The unknown is the most terrifying thing.
An entity capable of inflicting devastating damage on psychic ability users on Earth from the moon.
This is completely beyond their ability to respond.
"What about other countries? What were their reactions?" Li Zhenguo asked.
"According to the intelligence we intercepted, the United States, Russia, the European Union... all countries with space capabilities are now in complete chaos. Their reactions are similar to ours: shock, panic, and... helplessness."
"Where are the Divine Court Guards? Where's the Sky Dome Martial Alliance? And that Zhang Sanfeng from Kunlun...?" Li Zhenguo suddenly raised his head. "Have they made any moves?"
"Reporting to the Minister! According to our global monitoring system, just now, the two targets of the 'Divine Guard,' codenamed 'Golden Lion' and 'War God,' who were originally operating in South America, suddenly moved towards Antarctica at supersonic speed! Their speed has surpassed that of any of our aircraft!"
"Antarctica?" Li Zhenguo frowned. "What's there?"
"It's unclear. But it's almost certain that their actions are related to this lunar anomaly!"
A glint of light flashed in Li Zhenguo's eyes.
He recalled what the man who called himself "Ares" said during Electro's trial in New York.
"In the name of the most exalted master..."
"The master's rules are the ironclad laws of heaven and earth."
Mr!
It's that "sir" again!
The Divine Court Guards, the Sky Dome Martial Alliance, the Kunlun Dao Ancestor... Behind these powerful and unreasonable organizations and individuals stands this mysterious "Master".
They are like pawns in the hands of this "master," carrying out his will in this new era.
Now, we face this unknown and terrifying threat from outer space.
They are the only ones who can possibly deal with this!
Or rather, it's only the "gentleman" behind them!
"It seems... we can't wait any longer." Li Zhenguo took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incredibly determined.
He looked at his secretary and gave an order that shocked everyone.
"Immediately contact our observation post outside Shennongjia! Find that...that Mr. He Yuzhu, codenamed 'The God of Cookery,' at all costs!"
"Tell him we mean no harm! The Chinese government wants to have an equal and friendly dialogue with him, or rather, with the man behind him!"
"Tell him that Earth may be facing a huge crisis. We need his help now!"
