Chapter 72

Vincent stood at the classroom door, his face darkening instantly upon hearing the other party's words. Having been the head of the 'Abnormal Ability Management Zone' for many years, Vincent held a position of great power and influence. Even the president would show him respect, as the president's term was limited to ten years, while Vincent had held his position for over thirty years and could continue indefinitely as long as nothing went wrong. If it weren't for the other party's SS-level strength, Vincent would have taken action long ago. He didn't expect the other party to be so arrogant. Just as Vincent was about to act,

Li She flicked the cigarette butt from his hand, exhaled a ring of smoke, and said with a smile, "What if I choose the third option? Knock all of you down and walk away?" As soon as he finished speaking, Li She moved, his near-sonic speed figure lunging at the first person with a punch. The sudden change caught the abnormal ability user off guard, who quickly transformed and raised his hands to protect his head from Li She's bullet-fast punch. A metallic 'clang' echoed as the person's entire body turned into silver steel, becoming a true steel body. However, under Li She's punch, the steel body was sent flying. 'Boom...' The steel giant landed over a hundred meters away, creating a large crater in the concrete ground.

Seeing Li She take the first move, Vincent shouted, "Attack!"

Instantly, all the abnormal ability users launched their attacks at Li She. Ice arrows, fireballs, sound waves, and steel needles filled the sky, their attacks varied and bizarre, like a scene from a sci-fi movie. However, what seemed to be a powerful and swift attack was, in Li She's eyes, weak and slow. The 'Drought Zombie' was known for its speed and strength. Li She leaped to dodge the overwhelming attack.

'Boom!' Li She's beetle car exploded, sending thick smoke billowing into the air, and the three thick earth walls were mostly destroyed.

"He's in the air!" Vincent pointed at Li She, who had taken flight, and formed a basketball-sized ball of electricity between his hands, hurling it at Li She. In the air, Li She saw the light blue electric ball flying towards him and punched it, the force of his punch creating a gust of wind that instantly dispersed the electric ball.

A ball of electricity with over ten thousand volts was shattered by the wind generated by Li She's punch. Although Vincent had expected the SS-level abnormal ability user to be strong, he didn't think his ten-thousand-volt electric ball would be so easily dispersed.

However, Li She still underestimated the strength of 'Zone D10.' This was America's other ace besides nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons were mainly for deterrence, while 'Zone D10' was often deployed to deal with hostile nations.

A girl dressed like a middle school student pressed her hands to her forehead and shouted at Li She, "Air Bind!" An invisible wave spread from Li She, forming a transparent sphere that trapped him. The air inside the sphere became ten times denser, making Li She feel suffocated and his movements sluggish. Then, a black S-level abnormal ability user grabbed Li She and shouted, "Tenfold Gravity!"

These two were among the top in 'Zone D10,' one an air manipulator and the other a gravity manipulator. Under their combined pressure, Li She, who was in the air, couldn't withstand the sudden change in air density and gravity, and fell to the ground. The gravity manipulator's strength lay in altering gravity, which not only affected the body but also directly attacked the internal organs. Even a master of internal energy would have his heart crushed by tenfold gravity if caught off guard.

As soon as Li She landed, he was hit by a barrage of attacks. Intense electric currents, fireballs, ice arrows, and steel needles rained down on him. 'Boom...' The series of attacks caused a massive explosion, enveloping Li She in a cloud of smoke.

After this intense assault, Vincent signaled for everyone to stop. He said disdainfully, "It's always the same. You have to be beaten half to death before you learn your lesson!"

Even an SS-level abnormal ability user would be severely injured by such a powerful attack. This was a combined assault by thirty S-level abnormal ability users, who, though aiming to capture rather than kill, still unleashed enough power to destroy a skyscraper.

The earth manipulator, Kurt, asked Vincent, "Director, did we kill him?"

Vincent shook his head and said, "Probably severely injured. Good! This way, it's safer to take him back. These people think they're invincible just because they have some abilities!"

The smoke slowly cleared, revealing Li She lying on the ground in a spread-eagle position. His back was torn and his clothes were shredded, but he had no substantial injuries. The intense attack still caused him pain, and his face mask was damaged, exposing half his face as a person of Asian descent. Li She staggered to his feet, rubbing his aching head. The tenfold gravity and air bind had made it hard to breathe for a moment. If not for his 'Drought Zombie' body, Li She estimated that even a master of internal energy would have been severely injured or killed by such a sudden change in gravity.

Exhaling a deep breath, Li She muttered, "A lion must use all its strength to catch a rabbit. Indeed, one should never underestimate any enemy!"

Seeing Li She stand up, Vincent was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to still be able to stand after such a powerful attack.

All the 'Zone D10' abnormal ability users immediately went on high alert, realizing they would need to use their full strength to subdue the opponent.

Vincent looked at the other party, puzzled. Wasn't the other party an SS-level lightning ability user? Why hadn't he used lightning attacks like himself?

"Drought Zombie True Form!" Li She roared, and instantly, he became like a black hole, emitting a dark, eerie aura. With a 'snap,' his clothes were torn, revealing blood-red wings on his back. The wings, like bat wings, had ten long, whip-like tentacles hanging from them, each five meters long and ending in a hard, triangular bone spike. The tentacles floated in front of Li She, and his arms, legs, and chest were covered in red, bone-like scales that gleamed like metal. His face was covered by a red mask, with wing-like red scales on either side.

Seeing Li She's transformation, all the 'Zone D10' abnormal ability users were stunned. Kurt cursed, "Damn, what kind of monster is this?"

The dark aura enveloped the area, the cold air making the temperature drop. The abnormal ability users felt a chill to their souls. Li She's gaze swept over them, and they all avoided the gaze of this demonic figure from hell.

Vincent, the head of the abnormal ability management zone, immediately shouted, "Don't hold back! Use full strength to eliminate him!" Seeing the demonic form, Vincent had abandoned any thoughts of recruiting the other party and now only wanted to eliminate this monster.

Li She flapped his wings and shot up like an arrow, his speed breaking the sound barrier. Each movement left a trail of afterimages in the sky, and a series of sonic booms echoed.

The ten whip-like tentacles moved like fingers, and Li She, recognizing Vincent as the leader, punched him hard in the chest. The supersonic punch sent Vincent flying, and the sound of bones breaking echoed as Vincent spat out a mouthful of blood.

After dealing with Vincent, Li She didn't stop and attacked the other abnormal ability users. His speed, now several times faster, made it impossible for them to see him.

His fists, feet, and whip-like tentacles became deadly weapons, and the satisfaction of hitting flesh made Li She realize, "This is the true way of the Drought Zombie, using absolute speed and strength to strike the enemy."

The air manipulator girl and the gravity manipulator were both targeted by Li She. After transforming into his true form, Li She showed no mercy, only a cold, ruthless fighting spirit. Two tentacles pierced the girl's shoulders, and the triangular bone spikes drew blood as they were pulled out.

The gravity manipulator was kicked in the spine with such force that he was sent flying, likely to be paralyzed or worse.

None of the abnormal ability users who had attacked him were spared. Li She's punches and kicks knocked them all down.

In just twenty seconds, all thirty S-level and sixty A-level abnormal ability users from 'Zone D10' were incapacitated.

Vincent struggled to his feet, a sharp pain in his chest. He used electricity to stimulate his adrenal glands to reduce the pain. Coughing up blood, he stared in shock at the man floating in the air with bat wings and a red mask. The entire elite force of 'Zone D10' was severely injured in less than a minute. It was clear that the other party had held back; otherwise, the 'Abnormal Ability Management Zone' would have been wiped out.

Having revealed his true form, Li She flew over the nuclear power plant and said to the spirit, "Absorb the electricity!"

The spirit activated the 'Divine Thief Token,' emitting a blinding light. The sky seemed to form a black hole, and an invisible force began to drain the power from the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant. The stored electricity rapidly decreased, and the invisible force acted like a superconductor. Vincent saw countless blue electric snakes surging towards the man in the air, and under the spirit's full power, the electricity was absorbed into the 'Divine Thief Token,' gradually converting into energy points.

The Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant supplied power to the entire state, including the streetlights. As Li She absorbed the power, the streetlights flickered and gradually went out.

'Ten thousand volts, one hundred thousand volts, one million volts, ten million volts.' The entire power reserve of the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant was drained in an instant. When Li She finished, the entire state was plunged into darkness, even though it was night, all the streetlights and neon signs were out.

After absorbing the power, Li She flapped his wings and flew over the fallen abnormal ability users, saying coldly, "I'll owe you this electricity bill. If I need more power next time, I'll come back!" Then he flapped his wings and disappeared into the night sky.
