Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!-Chapter 1862 - The Battle God’s Leap

1862 The Battle God’s Leap

Meng Chao imagined what Battle God Lei Zongchao would look like in a terrifying form. He could see him emerge from the deepest part of hell as a demon covered in fur and tentacles.

His blood ran cold.

“But then again, Lei Zongchao’s situation is a little different from the other explorers who were attracted by the Ancient Ruins’ Summon,” Wu Haibo said.

“Normally, explorers who are tempted by the Ancient Ruins’ Summon have confused expressions and fall into a daze. Their bodies also sway as if they’re sleepwalking.

!!

“Lei Zongchao, however, seemed to be in a very clear state of mind.

Wu Haibo presented the surveillance footage of Lei Zongchao sneaking into the depths of the ancient ruins.

Since the underground rift was of great importance, a Black Horn team that was armed to the teeth was stationed there day and night.

There were also more than a hundred super high-definition cameras that were resistant against heat, corrosion, high pressure, and radiation. They rotated three hundred and sixty degrees around the entire gap to ensure that there were no blind spots. They could even capture the crawling trajectory of every ant around the gap.

In the rift, there were three layers of high-voltage power grids with holes the size of fingers. Even sparrows would fail to fly in.

Of course, superhumans above a certain level might be able to tear through the high-voltage power grid if they activated their spirit magnetic field.

However, if he did so, he would stir up dazzling sparks and electric arcs. That would have created an astonishing ripple of movement.

Unless the Black Horn team stationed in the surrounding area were all dead, no one would have been able to sneak in without making a sound.

Yet, such a strange thing played out in the surveillance footage.

Meng Chao, Lu Siya, Long Feijun, and Shen Yupeng all put their heads in front of the screen and held their breaths at the same time.

In the beginning, everything seemed normal in the footage.

The members of the Black Horn team were equipped with power armors made of high-level monster bones, and they had at least reached the peak of the Earth Realm. Not only did they control all the necessary paths leading to the underground rift, but they also formed elite patrol teams that circled the rift day and night.

More than a hundred super-powerful searchlights illuminated the central area of the entire underground space as if it were daytime. Even insects the size of rice grains had nowhere to hide as long as they were within a hundred meters of the rift.

On top of that, the staff of the Ancient Ruins Research Center were always careful. They dared not approach this particularly somber area either.

Peace lasted for half a minute.

Suddenly, three of the surveillance monitors showed abnormalities.

There were no intruders in the images.

However, layers of ripples appeared, and they became blurry.

Battle God Lei Zongchao materialized less than thirty meters away from the rift as if he had passed through a temporary space tunnel.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya exchanged looks, and so did Long Feijun and Shen Yupeng.

They were speechless.

They were absolute elites among the new generation of superhumans in Dragon City.

However, none of them could tell how Battle God Lei Zongchao appeared out of thin air.

The next second, something even stranger happened.

When Lei Zongchao appeared out of thin air, a patrol team just happened to be five meters away from him.

Four or five ultra-high-definition cameras captured his figure too.

Yet, both the patrol team and the high-definition cameras turned a blind eye to him. They simply watched him drag his heavily-wounded body toward the underground rift.

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Haibo with a suspicious gaze.

“No one knows what happened.”

Wu Haibo smiled bitterly. “These few patrol members have been isolated and interrogated. The staff in charge of managing the high-definition cameras in the monitoring center were not excluded either.

“But everyone swore that everything seemed normal earlier. They didn’t see anyone at all—not even a rat slipped in right under their eyes, let alone Battle God Lei Zongchao!

“It’s hard to believe, but I don’t think they’re lying.

“As you can see, the patrollers and staff who’ve come into contact with the Battle God number in the double digits. They’re all well-trained young people with good families and promising prospects. They know the dangers of rashly entering the ancient ruins. It’s unlikely that they would lie for the Battle God at the cost of their future and even their lives.

“The only explanation is that Lei Zongchao hypnotized them.”

“Hypnotized them?”

Meng Chao was deep in thought. “The staff in the monitoring center as well?”

“That’s right.”

Wu Haibo nodded. “Normal Deity Realm warriors might not have been able to do this, but their opponent was the Battle God!”

This was true, even though it did not entirely explain how Lei Zongchao appeared out of thin air.

Meng Chao did not plan to dwell on the details. Instead, he focused on observing the footage.

The surveillance screen showed that Battle God Lei Zongchao had already walked to the edge of the rift at this point.

He stood on his tiptoes and looked down.

His expression, however, was like that of a climber who had reached the peak and was looking into the distance.

At the same time, he was playing with something in his hand.

A silver streak of light was running between his fingers like an unpredictable electric arc. He then flicked it and threw it high up.

The footage from the surveillance camera was enhanced, and everyone could clearly see that the Battle God had thrown a coin.

It was an ordinary coin that could be seen everywhere, and every townsfolk would have a few coins like that in their pockets.

The instant the Battle God tossed the coin…

His figure became blurry.

It was as if Battle God Lei Zongchao had instantly split into hundreds and thousands of clones.

...

All the clones were vibrating in place at a high frequency. They overlapped with each other and stuck closely together.

When the coin fell back into his palm, all the clones overlapped perfectly to form the one and only Lei Zongchao.

With his high realm, he obviously did not even have to look. He only needed to feel the coin in his palm to know which side was facing up.

However, he was still compelled to lower his head and take a look.

Then, the corners of his mouth curled up into a meaningful smile that contained helplessness, relief, fear, excitement, and all kinds of mixed emotions.

Immediately after, Lei Zongchao looked at the ultra-high-definition camera closest to him and gave it an intense stare.

His eyes were incomparably bright, clear, and ethereal. It was as if they were connected to another world that was infinitely large and filled with infinite possibilities.

His gaze could seemingly penetrate time and space, and all the new-generation superhumans watching the surveillance video felt great shock.

Lei Zongchao’s lips trembled as if he was muttering.

They could not tell whether he wanted Meng Chao and the others to follow him.

Did he want them to completely seal the ancient ruins instead of following him?

...

Or should they flip a coin to make a decision like him?

In short, this was the last message that Lei Zongchao left for those who came after.

Half a second later, the Battle God held the coin tightly in his hand and leaped into the rift that was covered in three layers of high-voltage power grid.
