Chapter 883 - 535: When the Dust Settles, Power Rises Everywhere
Crash!
The wind and waves blew, causing ripples in the puddles.
Thick clouds as dark as ink gradually retreated, and finally, a ray of sunlight fell upon the northern district of Black Port City.
A few raindrops slid down the glass windows of the tall buildings, and near a broken and toppled streetlight pole, the accumulated puddles rippled, reflecting the scene of a distant pit.
"It seems we’ve won."
In a calm tone, Wang Cheng stood on the other side of the kilometer-deep pit.
The silver metal covering his body was full of cracks, with dents from palm prints and blackened marks from gunfire scattered all over.
The ion light shield had completely shattered, appearing as if it had suffered some severe damage.
However, his energy level magnetic field remained stable, and the charged crimson arcs on his body surface continued to flicker without end.
"You...."
In contrast, Helena, lying in a pool of blood on the opposite side, had flesh and blood disintegrating, with a gaping hole in her chest.
Her twitching flesh and tendons were suppressed by some high-temperature energy source, unable to heal the injuries.
The soil mixed with blood and rain reflected her disheveled and wretched state.
The pride that once overlooked was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a pale face of confusion and fear.
Had she really lost?
To this person from Chi Country, who had barely completed the second stage of transformation.
"You all...."
"We are not afraid of anyone."
Calmly interrupting her struggling words, Wang Cheng’s metal mask slowly retracted.
The face of a young man, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, was revealed, seemingly containing an undying colorful light within his eyes.
"Whether it’s the past, present.... or future."
"As long as you dare to harm us, you will have to repay with blood."
Buzz!
As his words fell, the aftershocks of the wind and waves swept over the deep pit.
In the high sky, a federal flying device was slowly approaching, attempting to dissuade, causing a gray darkness to appear in Helena’s eyes.
A conflict had come to an end, neon lights flickered in the districts of Black Port City, and floating projections swayed unpredictably.
A huge pit and long cracks tore apart the district roads, and the collapsed high-rises crushed many public facilities.
Witnessing this scene, shadows squirmed on the distant rooftops, and a crow as black as ink appeared at some point, observing everything.
The broken streetlight poles lay haphazardly, and the figure in the pool of blood had suffered heavy damage, on the verge of death.
All these scenes were dyed a deep red in its scarlet vertical pupils, recorded clearly, extraordinarily eerie.
As if sensing something, Wang Cheng suddenly looked up.
From a distance, the rooftops appeared empty, with only the fiery red sky of the sunset as a backdrop.
Feeling something was off, he frowned.
"An illusion?"
...
That night.
The Chi Country envoy returned to the embassy.
The metal gate slowly closed, and the corresponding security system activated in sync.
The patrolling sentries remained vigilant within the embassy, and a group of core members convened again in the upstairs room for a meeting.
"We really have Councilman Chen to thank this time."
"Indeed, if it weren’t for him, we might not have left safely."
"We did not expect the Federation to be so treacherous, we nearly ended up in the worst situation."
"The Lute family has indeed meddled in this affair, and I suspect Han Mingchuan is now in their hands."
Voices of discussion arose among the crowd, filled with gratitude and relief for today’s encounters, along with resentment and hostility towards the Federation.
Several Chi General Guards and high-ranking military officers wore complex expressions, remembering their few sacrificed subordinates.
"I’ve reported this matter to the Red Capital."
"The sacrificed warriors will be posthumously awarded high honors, and their families will receive preferential treatment and compensation...."
Chairman Li Yun said in a low voice, his face also reflecting a complex mix of emotions, even guilt.
All this was for negotiation.
But without his decisions and arrangements, these people wouldn’t have sacrificed.
As the atmosphere grew somber, someone detected his remorse.
"When we came to the Federation, everyone already prepared for sacrifice."
"What we can do is try our best to fight for these deserved honors and benefits for them and their families..."
A high-ranking military officer said gravely, and then people began nodding in agreement.
They must always look forward.
Moreover, the culprits have been identified; without a doubt, it’s those from the New Alliance.
Instantly, eyes turned towards it.
There was a metal box placed on the table, with transparent glass steel on both sides and some blue arc-shaped lines in charging conditions.
Looking through the surface, a bionic mechanical eyeball could be seen placed inside.
All the consciousness waves were suppressed to freezing point at this moment, with faint blood streaks still remaining on the eye’s surface.
With complex gazes, mixed with fury and murderous intent, every member of the embassy wished to eliminate Andre immediately.
However....
Coldness and restraint surfaced one after another, as veins throbbed in tightly clenched fists.
In the end, the members of the envoy restrained their emotions, suppressing their murderous intent, turning their heads towards the center of the room, where Chen Feng, who had spoken little throughout, sat.
"Councilman Chen, is most of Andre’s consciousness here?"
"Yes."
With a gentle nod, Chen Feng could perceive the many emotional fluctuations within that eyeball.
Relying on the power of the Spiritual World’s projection, he firmly suppressed Andre’s Strength, preventing him from extracting his consciousness and fleeing from here.
Due to this, even though the opponent still had some consciousness remaining in the Deep Sea, it was difficult to revive easily and manifest alone.
Upon hearing this, everyone gently nodded, then turned their thoughts to tomorrow’s deal.
"Moke sent someone to relay a message, saying they will find Han Mingchuan tomorrow and complete the exchange with us."
"What do you all think of this matter?"
Chairman Li Yun asked, and then someone shook their head solemnly.
"They must have already had control over Han Mingchuan."
"Without Councilman Chen’s firm stance and absolute Strength suppression, they would probably still want to delay further."
