Chapter 713 Taking Control of the Lighthouse to Hunt Down the Devouring Beasts
Chen Hong found a large amount of advanced technology information about Hisakawa City in ASH's database.
But the current situation doesn't allow him time for careful consideration.
They quickly released ASH, using this super AI to control the entire lighthouse, preventing it from falling and avoiding the tragedy of the entire lighthouse's inhabitants being served a buffet to the Devouring Beasts upon landing.
The entire lighthouse was in complete chaos.
In the flight control room, Jing Nan patted his towering black and gold uniform with lingering fear and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, at least the worst-case scenario didn't happen."
Jingnan was thinking to himself, but on the surface he remained calm and composed, maintaining the demeanor of a dignified superior.
"Immediately investigate the cause of the lighthouse malfunction and organize repair work."
"I immediately went to check what happened to the Kloto system and why it suddenly went berserk."
After saying that, Jingnan acted swiftly and decisively, heading towards the location of the Kloto system.
After Chen Hong took control of the Kloto system, he then took control of the automated operation of the entire lighthouse.
Without the slightest hesitation, they rushed to the Light and Shadow Club immediately.
Arrest that wretched little blond Charles and imprison him.
Because Charles has something within him that is suspected to be the Lord of Light and Shadow.
It might be a high-level humanoid Devouring Beast, or it might be a projection or pawn of a higher-dimensional civilization.
Whatever it is, control it first.
Chen Hong did not show any murderous intent to Charles, so as to avoid stimulating the evil thing inside him.
Charles is definitely a villain, a refined scoundrel, a treacherous little man. He's just an ordinary human being, without the immense power of Mark.
However, after Mark broke his arm and he inhaled a large amount of pungent toxins, the evil thing inside him awakened, and he inexplicably gained the ability to control the Abyss-Born Armor, causing his combat power to soar.
It suddenly feels like he's been whitewashed and is now the secondary protagonist.
How could Chen Hong possibly tolerate this guy?
Lock him up, and once we've thoroughly investigated the secrets within his body, we can make him suffer a painful death.
Only after death, when his soul is extracted and cast into the eighteenth level of hell to suffer torment, can Chen Hong's resentment be dispelled.
It wasn't just the disgust he felt for Charles from watching anime in his previous life, but also the anger Chen Hong felt from being beaten and abused by the Light and Shadow Society for over a decade as a commoner.
After imprisoning Charles, Chen Hong immediately converted Victor, the commander-in-chief of the city defense forces, and took control of the city defense forces, the largest armed force in the lighthouse, to patrol the entire lighthouse.
Then they took control of the Light and Shadow Society and quickly calmed people's hearts.
Finally, they approached the strongest hunter faction and persuaded Mark.
Thus, the three major forces of the Beacon were all under their control.
Chen Hong used his absolute strength to suppress all those who dared to disobey.
They quickly proposed to remove Morgan from his post and force him to step down, citing his old age, limited time left, waste of Beacon Medical resources, and violation of the three laws of Beacon that he himself had established.
This is truly a clash of magic against magic.
Morgan was helpless; having been sidelined and unable to defeat Chen Hong, he had no choice but to slink away from his position.
Chen Hong ascended to the throne of the city lord.
He flew down to the ground all by himself and found a city.
Activate the killing mode!
What snake dogs, what earth roars, what thorny eels—they're all just clay chickens and earthenware dogs.
The ability to be immortal and indestructible, and to be killed unless the spiritual essence within the body is precisely targeted, is utterly insignificant in front of Chen Hong.
Chen Hong immediately activated [King of Gluttony] and devoured as much life essence as it came.
Even if the Devouring Beast could connect to the Mana ecosystem and obtain a continuous supply of life essence, becoming immortal, it would all be for nothing. It would simply be delivering food to Chen Hong.
Mana Ecology wasn't stupid; realizing they couldn't give it away for free, they quickly cut off logistical supplies.
Chen Hong had no choice but to swallow these Devouring Beasts like snacks.
[Report: New substance discovered—the source of life; analysis of its essence begins...]
[Life Essence: Composed of life energy and soul particles, it is the origin of life and possesses individual life information such as memories.]
[Report: Residual human memory information has been discovered within the life essence of the Devouring Beasts.]
"No wonder the Devouring Beasts always have human arms and hands. It seems that they are influenced by the information of human life essence in their bodies, and are evolving in a similar way."
"Uh... these Devouring Beasts look really terrifying, it's the uncanny valley effect."
[Report: Initiating extraction of valuable remaining memory information from the life essence; deleting any remaining useless information.]
[Report: The King of Wisdom and the King of Gluttony are assisting in the digestion of life essence, promoting the enhancement of host Chen Hong's life essence.]
Chen Hong's eyes lit up: "It seems that this life essence is a precious thing. It can actually enhance my life essence?"
Even the slightest improvement would be a remarkable achievement.
"Indeed, the life essence of this world is the most fundamental and refined thing of a living organism."
"So, does Mana ecologically harvest human life essence in order to provide essential nutrients to those individuals in higher-dimensional civilizations?"
Chen Hong looked up at the azure sky, as if he could see through dimensions and see ghosts dwelling above, feeding on all living beings.
Mana Ecology also seems to have been stimulated, realizing the harm caused by Chen Hong, this unexpectedly born individual.
They directly mobilized the surrounding Devouring Beast Tide to suppress Chen Hong.
The first to arrive was the cunning and intelligent metamorphosed Devourer—the Calyx Beast.
Upon arrival, it released bromine mist to conceal its form, commanding its subordinate spiky eels to probe Chen Hong while it hid itself.
Unfortunately, no matter how cunning they were, they were instantly killed when they showed their faces to Chen Hong.
Chen Hong slaughtered his way through the swarm of thorn eels, quickly reaching the Flower Calyx Beast. With a single slap, he killed the smug, hands-on-hips beast that had nearly wiped out Mark's team on the original fate line.
It devoured the life essence of the Calyx Beast and all the Spiny Eels.
"So...so strong!"
On the lighthouse, Erica, watching the live stream provided by Chen Hong, covered her wide-open mouth in surprise.
All the hunters, cultists of light and shadow, city guards, and dust people were shocked.
"He hunted down such a terrifying Devouring Beast so easily!"
Mark's eyes widened, his fists clenched, and he was deeply disturbed.
But what happened next shocked them even more.
One after another, like small mountains, they moved, carving through the ruins of human-made high-rise buildings, and came to Chen Hong.
It has two faces, one above the other, and they are skull faces.
It has six legs, and it looks like human hands.
It has fin-like structures on its back and is sending out wide-area signals to summon more companions to join the siege.
It was indeed—the Dipladenia.
Faced with hordes of enormous bijawed beasts, Chen Hongmiao was as small as a little mouse.
However, this little mouse flew like Superman, using its terrifying physical abilities to simply and unadorned observe the massive, mountain-like bodies of the two-jawed beasts, breaking their spines and venting the pent-up resentment it had accumulated for over twenty years. (End of Chapter)
