Han Dong had been silently observing everything within the Holy City.
When he saw Marlon undergoing such a transformation at this critical moment, he was well aware that the outcome of the battle defending the Holy City was already decided.
"As expected of Captain Marlon, to ascend ranks along with the Hell World.
He will become the first human to reach the "Upper Position."
Even if the Out of control people continue to have intentions against humans later on, Captain Marlon can still hold them off... This is a decent start, I suppose.
Han Dong sighed slightly at Captain Alex’s choice,
However, as a possessor of the Death Ability, he could understand such a choice and could sense part of Alex’s mental changes at that time.
When Han Dong’s Death Attribute reached a certain level, he noticed a problem... Alex had always survived in the Holy City in a "corpse" state, serving as captain.
"I estimate that Mr. Teacher, who is playing chess, is also starting to panic,
He should abandon his current layout and try his best to preserve this important ’first incarnation.’"
While Han Dong was thinking about the events happening among the Holy Ring, considering how to bring down the curtain on the opening battle of the final game.
A sense of danger rushed straight to his heart in an instant,
Han Dong even felt as if a cold handgun was pressed against his forehead.
"Someone wants to violate the game rules!
The Razor Man was killed, and combined with this icy feeling of a gun... The one who acted must be the boss of the Penny Family, one of the main members of the Committee.
[Fiery Gunman - Tom Penny].
Captain Marlon is at a critical stage of advancement; if hit, the consequences would be unimaginable."
With super acute perception and information integration, Han Dong immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and roughly deduced the approximate direction the bullet might come from.
"White Lotus Rotation"
He aimed his palm at a spatial area in front of Marlon.
Exerting all his power,
Han Dong unleashed the full strength of his current boundary, creating a circle-like "Source Vortex Area" similar to the demon’s source pool.
This continuously swirling white source vortex also contained the [Void Attribute]. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel•fire.net
When the creation of the source vortex was completed,
Han Dong still maintained a state with an outstretched arm,
The rotation speed of the Demon Eye was consistent with the source vortex,
"Subjective Control" could double the effect of the source vortex,
Even if his identity was exposed, Han Dong would not allow such an important moment to be interrupted...
Han Dong had a selfish motive; he wanted to collect this bullet from the head of the Penny Family... perhaps he could obtain some important information or even get materials about ’Firepower’ out of control.
With the Real Demon Eye fully opened at 100%,
Han Dong could only perceive a copper-colored thread, unable to see the form of the bullet.
The estimated shooting path was completely correct,
Before hitting Marlon, the bullet would successfully collide into the source vortex area.
According to Han Dong’s thoughts,
The stirring of the source vortex could greatly slow down the bullet’s linear speed,
Eventually, the source vortex would transport the bullet to the Prison World to let his own world take a shot.
Afterward, the Swollen Doctor would collect and research the bullet.
Han Dong’s right arm, stretched towards the sky and controlling the source vortex,
Was like an ordinary person’s arm struck by an armor-piercing bullet head-on.
Starting from the palm,
The impact vortex completely tore apart flesh and bones,
Tearing from the palm to the wrist, then to the entire forearm and rear arm structure...
Such an injury even made the Count, who was in a state of breakthrough, tremble, almost interrupting his realization to become king.
The "Source Vortex Area" set in the high air was instantly shattered,
Unable to transport the bullet to the Prison World.
Han Dong also spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, dropping to one knee.
"... Is this the entity known among the Out of control people as the ’strongest firepower’? Indeed, attempting to transcend rank and fight the Upper Rank is too rash.
Just relying on the rules of the bullet broke through my means set with all my might directly.
However~ my source vortex is one of a kind among thousands of worlds; although it didn’t achieve the intended effect, it still had some influence, the bullet’s path should have deviated, and its speed has also decreased significantly.
Captain Marlon should be able to stop it."
Han Dong wiped away the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth,
Eyes locked on the transforming Marlon,
The bullet that was supposed to hit Marlon’s heart was headed towards his right side due to the influence of the source vortex... just about to hit.
Seven layers of barriers symbolizing different depths of Hell formed in front of Marlon.
As each layer of the barrier was breached, a certain continent among Hell also followed with a collapse and sinking.
Though these barriers still couldn’t stop the bullet,
Each layer’s existence slowed down the bullet’s speed to some extent.
When the final barrier was broken, its bullet speed had dropped to one-tenth of the original.
A female phantom wrapped in the original sin bandages emerged behind Marlon.
The "Flowing Light Orthodox Sect" in the knife sheath came out by itself, held in this female’s hand, without any action from Marlon.
On the blade’s surface, the ’Breath of Slaughter’ in red stripes coiled, with increased power and quality.
Ding! The knife edge hit the bullet’s tip... splattering numerous sparks.
The Beheading King’s phantom was dispersed upon collision
"Flowing Light Orthodox Sect" was blasted thousands of meters away, landing among the mountains outside Gain Forest.
This strike also cleaved the bullet in half, successfully neutralizing the attack from the Upper Rank.
Marlon’s closed eyes slightly trembled, showing a tendency to open.
Han Dong also let out a sigh of relief, revealing a pleased smile.
At the same time, he felt a familiar aura had already descended, confirming no further bullets would come.
Outside the city - North Gain Forest
Due to Arthur’s death,
As the family leader, Tom Penny fell into a state of endless rage, if not madness.
Partly for his love of his brother,
Partly because such an initial defeat during his debut caused the Penny Family to lose face, especially in front of the Queen and Mr. Teacher.
When he saw the human who killed his brother emerge from underground, suspended above the city, even undergoing transformation and advancement using his brother’s Breath of Slaughter.
Tom Penny could no longer bear it, aiming his gun at Hell’s Heart.
Before shooting, the Queen’s voice echoed:
"Tom, we are in a passive situation.
From the current look of things, the demon indeed wants to play a fair game with us.
You’d better think about the consequences of this shot..."
"I will take responsibility for the consequences."
The recoil tore a hundred-meter fan-shaped depression behind him.
However, the bullet was obstructed layer by layer mid-flight, eventually completely stopped.
This situation incensed Tom even more,
This time he spared no holding back, loading three special bullets in full.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger,
Between Tom Penny and the Queen,
Stood a young man in a grey waistcoat, with differing appearances depending on the angle and time looked at.
The young man had a forefinger inserted into the barrel,
While another finger waggled in the air,
"The game has just begun, don’t act rashly~"
