A break in a gas pipeline, a cigarette butt falling from a drain.

Simple and subtle elements make up the prelude to destruction.

A strong smell emanated from underground, but initially did not attract enough attention in the midst of the total chaos. Until the unextinguished cigarette butt fell, and that tiny spark ignited a devastating.

It was as if the beast imprisoned in a gas cage had been released, and that cigarette butt was the key to liberation. The flaming troll roared with joy as soon as it was freed, and the entire sewer pipe was engulfed in flames.

A series of violent explosions resounded beneath the city, and everyone could feel the earth roaring beneath their feet. The lids of the sewer shafts along the way were blasted into the air by the hot impact, like a neatly arranged flame launcher. Tongues of fire erupted, whistling and spitting out waves of fiery air.

Jiang Bei rushed into the underground pipe with a pillar of fire like lava. Countless tongues of fire licked his body, and waves of heat churned all over his body. He sprints through the endless curtain wall of flames at a super-speed faster than sound, like a stubborn rock swimming against the current.

"Have you seen a very old movie "Superman Returns"?" Jiangbei opened his mouth while flying at full speed.

"I didn't ...... What's that? Xiao Qi was at a loss.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought of a good action director."

“......”

At this moment, the central control room of the gas pipeline is about to go crazy. The earthquake damaged a lot of equipment, shocking cracks appeared in the ceiling, and dust fragments fell in a row.

It was already an emergency enough, but the leak happened to rain overnight, the gas pipe broke, and it was very unfortunate that the speed of light hit an open flame.

"It's coming here!" Someone said with a dirty face.

It happened so fast that they had little chance to react in the chaos. When they came back to their senses, they were already sitting on a pile of explosives bags, watching the lead rush from the other side of the pipe with a hot army of horses at a speed comparable to that of Prime Minister Cao.

But there is someone who is faster than it!

A red and blue afterimage tore through the curtain of fire and rushed down the pipe all the way to the end. He turned and landed in the central control room, stopping the car under everyone's blank gaze.

What's going on?

Is this man ...... Flying out of the gas pipe??

But what made their jaws drop even more was still to come.

"Hope this trick works......"

Jiang Bei took a deep breath, as if he was about to fill his lungs.

Then he poured out in one breath at the fire curtain that rushed out of the gas with teeth and claws!

Secret Technique: Fresh Breath!

Well, in fact, it's not a skill or a trick, what you have to say is just a word, and you can do miracles vigorously. Nine out of ten are lung capacity work.

And then it really worked.

Jiang Bei's chest expanded, and when he blew it out, it seemed to spit out a transparent dragon. When the unbridled fire curtain collided with this roaring wave of air, it froze instantly, and it couldn't progress for half a minute, as if time was frozen.

The mouths of the people in the control room behind the pipe opened wide one by one, and the shock almost overflowed from their mouths.

it!?

What did I see?

This Nima ...... Immortal???

The air currents and flames stalemate each other, as if two armies were facing each other. But this process did not last long, and after only a few moments, the gas flames began to lose momentum, and the formation was broken up, and there was a tendency to rout.

Jiangbei took advantage of the situation to increase his strength, and the flames retreated under the air waves.

Gas Flame: MD monster, slipped.

The flames retreated back the way they came, quickly extinguished. The ornate pillars of fire rising from the sewer shafts on the sidewalks along the way were extinguished one after another, and the smell of burning was in the air.

Jiang Bei breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I feel like my lung capacity is at least 100,000 now." He muttered.

Fortunately, the Superman movie is not a fool, this trick really fucking works.

"Okay, it's done here, what's next?"

As he spoke, he had already flown back along the pipe, leaving only the sluggish employees who had been blown away by him in one go.

And a jaw that fell to the ground.

...

...

A few minutes ago, on the outskirts of Kantu, an abandoned warehouse.

Thundered.

The door of the warehouse was slowly opened, and Wei Chuan led a team into the warehouse.

The reason why I came here is because some people have reported to the sheriff's office that they have found something suspicious, and according to the description, it may be related to an extraordinary event. The team led by Wei Chuan happened to be on the way back to the base after the mission, and was sent to take a look.

But before he came, he probably never dreamed that he would win the lottery here.

The stone, which happened to be the containment object that had disappeared from the camp under his jurisdiction, was now quietly and sacredly suspended in the solemn of the room. The blue light it radiated soaked the dust particles flying in the warehouse, like countless fine snowflakes swirling and flying.

Wei Chuan connected the communication as soon as possible.

"Headquarters? We won the lottery. "We found the missing containment and it's ...... right now."

It was at that moment that the stone unleashed some kind of invisible impact. Everyone felt a violent shock under their feet and almost fell to the ground.

The shock centered on the stone and quickly spread in all directions of the city.

Wei Chuan instinctively sensed that something was wrong. He got up and tried to walk towards the dangling stone, trying to grab it out of mid-air.

The flames suddenly tore through the darkness, and a burly shadow rushed in out of nowhere, knocking the two of them away without saying a word.

The younger brother immediately fired back, but it seemed to have little effect. It was a flaming humanoid, even its physique distorted by the heat. The bullet had no effect on him, as the cartridge case melted before it could reach the body. Countless bullets turned into hot molten steel at his feet.

The man stomped his foot on the spot.

At that moment, it was like a grenade detonating, and the scorching flames erupted around him, and all the team members were blown away. The old concrete floor was burned black, and Wei Chuan, who had just drawn his knife out of its sheath, felt that his body was swept out by the scorching waves, and rolled heavily after landing on the ground.

It's so strong.

It was the first thought that popped into his mind.

Their team had just stopped by on their way back to check for a suspicious call to the police, and they were not prepared to deal with such a formidable enemy...... No, even if you prepare it, it's useless. It's not something they can deal with at all.

"My subordinates are taken care of by you." The flaming figure seemed to grin.

“...... Despot? ”

"It's me."

Wei Chuan swallowed.

A man in an abandoned house who watches on the sofa all day...... It doesn't seem to be able to connect with the walking furnace in front of you.

Formidable to the point of being intimidating.

Wei Chuan caught a glimpse of the stone hanging in the air behind him and narrowed his eyes: "So what the hell is that stone?" ”

"Starstone? You say this? ”

The tyrant couldn't help but laugh.

"How?" Wei Chuan frowned.

"No...... 'Sky Eye', right? Your rotten system, this mechanic...... Sorry, it's so funny. The tyrant said, "You lick the blood at the tip of your knife and do your life's work, but you don't know anything, right?" I don't even know about this. ”

"Know what?"

"This." The tyrant pointed to the dangling stone, "All the transcendence in this world comes from beyond the borders of the so-called 'abyss', and there are all the answers and the truth about this world. ”

After a pause, a smile that seemed to contain some sympathy and contempt appeared in his burning countenance.

"The truth that the organization you worked for concealed from you."

Wei Chuan: "......"

"The Star Stone is the key to everything, it has the attribute of space, and it is the key to the 'abyss'...... Of course, we are still working on how to do this. I'm trying to create a crack with its power right now, but it doesn't seem to be going well, and it's likely to cause a little shock in the city.

But it doesn't matter. The Lord of the Abyss has given us a revelation......"

"So that's what you believe?" Wei Chuan interrupted him, "In this ...... Outside of our world, there is something that gives you the extraordinary. Is it your master? ”

"It shows us the truth. Or, at the very least, to give us the right to discover the truth and recognize the truth of this false world for what it really is. The tyrant smiled, "And now, we're just as welcoming you."

We welcome every transcendent. We are all chosen by the Lord, just like a family. We always welcome everyone back to their families. ”

"Sounds good, but I'll get over it." Wei Chuan shrugged, "Because I don't know why, I have a hunch that the master you said may be a big octopus." I hate octopus legs and make me a bit sensitive, so ......"

"You don't believe me." The tyrant is not angry, "but you can't ignore the truth." You've seen it recently, haven't you? A visitor from the 'abyss'? ”

"Who?" Wei Chuan was stunned.

"Designated as a containment object for N-2814." The Tyrant said slowly, "A visitor who has passed through the Endless Abyss to the present world during the study of another 'Starflow Stone' held by our Prayer Society.

Of course he showed up...... There was a little loss of control and it got out of our hands. Then, as far as we know, he should have been captured by your organization, only to escape.

And then it was here that the city was slain by another transcendent of unknown origin...... Oh, and it's a nuisance when it comes to that guy too. Bad things for us over and over again, and for a while, it really annoyed me.

But it doesn't matter. I will go to him, and he is just a poor ant in the world under the watchful eye of the Lord. When I find him, he will know that the last mistake he should make in his life is ......"

Rumble!!!

The roof was blasted through, and red-blue afterimages fell from the sky. A circle of smoke erupted around Jiang Bei's body and landed steadily on the ground, and when he raised his head, his eyes were churning with strong killing intent.

"That madman," Jiang Bei asked coldly, "you summoned him?" ”

The tyrant's smile froze on his face, and his body seemed to stiffen with the locking gaze of the other party.

He pondered for two seconds before he said, "It was done by another branch of the organization, and it has nothing to do with me......"
