Chapter 1014: A Battle Created by One Person

The photo showed the already slain Medusa and Susanoo, along with the broken famous sword left behind by Amaterasu.

The facts spoke for themselves - all three of these individuals had been killed by Zhang Yi.

And it was a completely one-sided, absolutely overwhelming victory without any doubt!

On the East Sea Region's side, it was as if someone had cast a freezing spell - complete silence, everyone standing dumbfounded with nothing to say.

Their brains, their common sense, couldn't comprehend such an existence.

This was clearly something only an Epsilon could accomplish!

Zhang Yi, Chaos of the Jiangnan Region.

Wasn't he only supposed to have a 9800-point superhuman ability index, with the codename "Absolute Defense"?

How could a superhuman like that possibly take on three opponents alone and kill so many powerful superhumans?

No one could understand it.

Li Tianyang remained silent for several long minutes.

This time, the expression in his eyes had completely transformed into bewilderment.

Even he didn't know how to explain this phenomenon.

Xuanwu glanced at the photo, then lowered his head and continued playing his game.

"So the Jiangnan Region is finally going to have their own Epsilon?"

He didn't really care about this.

If anything, it would be better if Zhang Yi ultimately obtained the Divine Source and became an Epsilon.

Because that would mean—he would be the East Sea Region's only Epsilon.

Li Tianyang's silence lasted a full five minutes.

Even five minutes wasn't enough time for him to digest this reality.

The combat achievements Zhang Yi had accomplished since landing on the island were simply mind-boggling.

The points he alone had obtained exceeded the total of everyone else combined!

Even the Four Spirits, the East Sea Region's proudest assets, had been completely overshadowed by Zhang Yi.

He slowly lowered his head, his heart filled with immense complexity.

If this continued, wouldn't the Divine Source end up in Zhang Yi's hands?

Although this outcome wasn't that difficult to accept—certainly better than it falling into the hands of the Colombian Navy—Li Tianyang couldn't accept this reality.

Because from the very beginning, personal enmity had already formed between him and Zhang Yi.

The more brilliant Zhang Yi became, the more despicable his own previous actions appeared.

Zhang Yi's radiance was the shadow cast over him, the slap across his face.

A thought even flashed through his mind.

Even if it meant leaving the Divine Source to the joint forces, he couldn't let Zhang Yi obtain it!

Otherwise, given the enmity between them, if Zhang Yi became an Epsilon, he would definitely come to settle accounts!

This thought startled Li Tianyang greatly the moment it appeared.

As a military officer, how could he entertain such narrow-minded thinking?

But malice was like floodwaters—once released, it was difficult to contain.

Jealousy—he was beginning to feel jealous of Zhang Yi.

And he absolutely could not allow this man to continue growing stronger, to continue shining so brilliantly!

Li Tianyang abruptly turned to face Situ Xin.

"Minister Situ, I am the overall commander of this operation, correct?"

Situ Xin smiled and nodded.

"You are the battlefield commander."

Battlefield commander, but above you are the supreme commanders of the two major regions.

Li Tianyang demanded sternly, "Then why didn't Chaos report his actions to me first, but instead communicated them to you? What does he mean by this?!"

Li Tianyang's behavior made everyone present turn to look at him.

Even the East Sea Region officers looked away in embarrassment.

Li Tianyang's suppression was too obvious.

Zhang Yi had achieved tremendous merit, yet at this moment, due to personal grudges, instead of giving praise, he was first questioning faults.

This was becoming hard to watch.

Situ Xin wasn't someone to be trifled with either.

Zhang Yi's glorious combat achievements were his greatest source of confidence.

"Ahem, Minister Li, isn't this rather inappropriate?"

"Chaos has achieved such remarkable accomplishments, we should be rewarding him."

"With you picking faults like this, no wonder he doesn't want to report to you."

Situ Xin's words carried barbs, showing no courtesy toward Li Tianyang.

They were only temporarily cooperating anyway. Although the Jiangnan Region's combat strength might be inferior to the East Sea Region's, they weren't made of mud.

Li Tianyang's gaze turned gloomy as he pressed down on his hat brim.

"Regardless, acting independently on the battlefield is a major taboo!"

"Have Chaos contact me immediately. Since he enjoys hunting superhumans so much—"

"Fine, then have him go kill Hell's Lock's deputy captain, Billy the Kid! This way, we can ensure we securely obtain the Divine Source."

Li Tianyang's intentions were glaringly obvious.

Billy the Kid's strength wasn't something other superhumans could compare to.

He was a superhuman just one step away from crossing the threshold into Epsilon.

By having Zhang Yi go kill him, regardless of the outcome, the East Sea Region would ultimately benefit.

When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured—or perhaps both would be wounded.

At that time, the East Sea Region's Four Spirits could reap the rewards, and the Divine Source would become their certain possession.

Situ Xin clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly:

"That's not quite right. Our Jiangnan Region has now achieved glorious combat results on the battlefield."

"Whereas your East Sea Region, ah..."

His sigh made the East Sea Region officers present exchange glances, feeling utterly ashamed.

When they first arrived, they had looked down on the Jiangnan Region, believing themselves to be the absolute main force on the battlefield.

They had said that the Jiangnan Region only needed to provide them with good support.

But now, where were their combat achievements?

Only Qinglong had killed a Kim Hee-chul, which was a decent result.

The others hadn't yet achieved any merit of killing captain-level opponents.

Actually, this couldn't really be blamed on them.

In the heavily fogged areas, everyone moved cautiously, not daring to act recklessly.

Zhang Yi was an exception.

With his space-type superhuman ability, he could travel between various areas at the fastest speed.

Moreover, he had prepared in advance, bringing Hua Hua and Lele along to facilitate searching for enemies.

From this perspective, he was the most thoroughly prepared among everyone.

It couldn't necessarily be said that he was far stronger than the Four Spirits or Billy the Kid and others.

He had simply maximized the convenience of his abilities.

Situ Xin said to Li Tianyang with a smile, "The prestigious East Sea Region should also demonstrate your strength. How about you go kill Billy the Kid?"

Li Tianyang was getting red-faced from being countered like this.

He actually had no retort.

What the other said wasn't wrong.

Zhang Yi alone had killed three Hell's Lock members!

Whereas their East Sea Region had no significant combat results to show.

In the end, Li Tianyang could only snort coldly.

Without reason, his words carried less weight.

Moreover, not only did he lack reason now, he also lacked sufficient combat achievements to support his arrogance.

Li Tianyang stared coldly at the three-dimensional map.

He thought to himself: Just let you be arrogant for a while longer! That Chaos fellow only cares about hunting superhumans all day. This is actually good—at least he's cleared away many troubles for our people.

Qinglong and the others can proceed to Mist Valley more smoothly.

As long as we obtain the Divine Source, everything you've done before will pale in comparison!
