Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 874 - 4: Waiting

"Cough cough cough..."

Flenda Severen leaned against the wall, coughing violently, her fair little hand covering her mouth as blood seeped through her fingers.

"Flenda, you retreat first."

Juanki Most-Loved wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth; her long experience in Anbu life helped her overcome the desire to turn and flee.

"Okay."

Flenda Severen, who had the potential of a turncoat, turned and fled immediately.

"Tss~"

Maiye Shenli, at the forefront, snorted softly. Not only was Flenda Severen badly injured, but she also heard an even breathing sound from her earpiece.

This was the sound emitted by the fourth member of the ’Item’ organization, Tanghu Rehou, who had locked onto Su Xiao’s aura through the nearby ’AIM Diffusion Field.’ At the moment Su Xiao released his aura, her superpower was affected, and combined with the fact she had just taken drugs, specifically consuming Body Crystals (Body Crystals: Full name ’Ability Body Crystal,’ which can cause superpower rampage upon use, significantly enhancing superpowers but also leading to loss of control), Tanghu Rehou temporarily passed out.

Body Crystals are certainly not good stuff; using them causes damage to the brain, and repeated use will result in becoming obsessed; long-term use even poses a risk of becoming a vegetable, with the worst case being brain death.

In a single encounter, two of the four from the ’Item’ organization had already lost their combat strength; seemingly vulnerable, they were actually not so. Tanghu Rehou’s main role was to find the enemy and sense their precise location, and she had accomplished her task well. Even a temporary blackout wouldn’t matter.

As for Flenda Severen, her ability was to set bombs. Her combat strength was equivalent to that of a female high school student proficient in body techniques, and in head-on combat, she was completely overpowered by Su Xiao.

Moreover, Flenda Severen hadn’t truly escaped; she was going nearby to choose advantageous terrain to set bombs.

The main combat strength within the ’Item’ consists of Maiye Shenli and Juanki Most-Loved, one specializing in long-range, the other in close combat.

"Super crisis."

Juanki Most-Loved stood in front of Maiye Shenli, and Maiye Shenli was stunned, turning her face into a rage.

"Get behind me, don’t obstruct my fight."

"You aren’t his match, Shenli."

"Huh?"

Maiye Shenli’s expression was a bit bizarre, with one eye bigger than the other, and her face showing the intent to kill.

"I’m super serious, and I plan to use Super Super Fatality."

Juanki Most-Loved took out a small pillbox.

"Super Super Fatality..."

The rage faded from Maiye Shenli’s face, her expression turning somewhat indifferent.

"Do you... want to die?"

"No, it’s because the enemy is super tough, Shenli. Didn’t you notice? The enemy doesn’t seem serious."

Upon hearing Juanki Most-Loved’s words, Maiye Shenli looked toward Su Xiao.

At this moment, Su Xiao was looking up toward space, not even glancing at the two of them.

"Opportunity."

A green sphere the size of a fist appeared above Maiye Shenli’s head, from which shot a green beam; this thing was called the ’Particle Machine Waveform High-Speed Cannon,’ immensely destructive, and was Maiye Shenli’s main combat method.

The beam cannon shot toward Su Xiao instantly, while a light blue energy shield materialized in front of him.

The beam cannon collided with the energy shield, with a roar, scattering green light particles, melting the walls and floor instantly wherever the particles struck.

Bearing the brunt of this strike, cracks appeared on the 200-strength energy shield. However, the beam cannon did not disappear and continued to inflict damage onto the shield like a continuous laser.

Kaka...

The cracks on the energy shield intensified, while energy meridians flashed, dispersing the impact’s attack power across the entire shield. In less than a second, the shield shattered inch by inch.

Thanks to the buffer of the energy shield, Su Xiao side-stepped, easily dodging the beam cannon.

Su Xiao is waiting, waiting for the person behind the scenes to react. He has already demonstrated his combat power, and he doesn’t believe that the person behind the scenes would remain unmoved, letting him wreak havoc here.

Su Xiao’s target isn’t to kill a certain someone but rather to complete the third-tier assessment as quickly as possible. That’s the most vital task. Should he fail the mission, a penalty of all attributes being reduced by 10 is unbearable, with luck attributes reduced by 8 points, reaching a point where even drinking water poses a choking hazard.

Aleister Crowley is formidable; Su Xiao is aware of his own strength. Now within Academy City, not reaching a consensus with Aleister is akin to courting death, doing whatever he pleases in this surveillance-saturated city.

Su Xiao can assert that over 80% of Contractors, upon entering this world, will find any way possible to escape unless their mission necessitates them staying in Academy City.

However, Su Xiao cannot leave; his mission target is right here. It’s undoubtedly presented him with a choice question, but this question has only one option.

If Aleister Crowley was in the Villain Faction, Su Xiao would have no trouble joining them; given his aura, the Villain Faction would readily accept him.

The trouble is, Aleister Crowley is akin to the Neutral Camp, a dangling man without the concept of good and evil, retaining those with utility value, and eliminating those without.

Clearly, if Su Xiao displayed his ability, he would belong to those with substantial utility value, both in terms of combat strength and Alchemy.

Through Alchemy, Su Xiao had gained trust from many forces, including the World Government in Pirate World and the Akatsuki Organization in the Naruto World.

"Where are you looking during battle?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Maiye Shenli shouted as several green spheres appeared beside her, beams shot toward Su Xiao.

Su Xiao frowned; Maiye Shenli was challenging. Her Atomic Breakdown Ability had significant attack power, low consumption, and wasn’t weak in defense either.

Su Xiao had tested earlier; Blue Steel Shadow Energy couldn’t annihilate the Atomic Breakdown Ability because it wasn’t energy, but a form of physical reaction, even though extremely unscientific.

Beams came his way, prompting the appearance of dozens of hexagonal energy shields around Su Xiao, forming the Counter Shield, protecting him within; the beam cannons battered the shields.

Bang!

Smoke billowed, and Su Xiao’s feet carved the ground, retreating slightly due to the forceful impact. Once stable, he stood up straight.

"Still unwilling to show yourself, seems I need to kill one first. Who should I kill...ah, the arrogant one first."

Su Xiao moved his shoulders, squinted his eyes, and his aura changed.

Seeing Su Xiao’s fierce gaze, Juanki Most-Loved felt somewhat bitter inside, and she couldn’t help but complain—why couldn’t they just let the opponent stand there longer, why provoke him; waiting for reinforcements would be the wisest choice.

"I have to go, Super Super Fatality is ready, Shenli, step back a bit, please.

Normally, if Juanki Most-Loved dared say so, Maiye Shenli beside her would fire on her directly. However, at this moment, Maiye Shenli actually stepped back a few paces; she had once witnessed Juanki Most-Loved using Super Super Fatality, indeed powerful, but the side effects were grave, employing this method multiple times within a year would not only shorten her lifespan but also potentially degrade her superpowers.

For those residing in the Dark World like them, power degradation nearly equals death.

"It’s been eight months since its last use, should be fine, probably."

Juanki Most-Loved opened the matchbox-sized pillbox in hand, pouring the dozens of pills into her mouth and began chewing.

"The taste is super strange."

Bloodshot appeared in the whites of her eyes, but besides this, no other changes occurred.
