Chapter 953: Is this the source of God?

Boon was very clever. He understood that on this battlefield, combat was a matter for top-tier superhumans.

Lower-level superhumans or reconnaissance units were only responsible for auxiliary work, not participating in the core battles.

Since they were going to hunt down a sniper with unclear intelligence, bringing too many team members would be useless.

Therefore, he only took his adjutant and, following Huo En's guidance, began returning the way they came.

This was a hunt within the toxic miasma. Without the assistance of precise instruments, finding Zhang Yi could take who knows how long.

But as a professional soldier, he had ample patience.

Boon's subordinates respectfully saluted him, then watched as Boon and Magrian departed, disappearing into the thick toxic miasma.

...

Zhang Yi had hunted down two superhuman squads, but for him, this was merely equivalent to warming up.

First, he needed to familiarize himself with the rhythm of this kind of hunting, then start advancing from the peripheral areas towards the deeper regions.

"My goal is to hunt down superhumans with at least a superhuman ability index of 9200 points."

Because the further one goes, the more difficult it becomes to enhance superhuman abilities.

For example, when Zhang Yi's superhuman ability index was 9600 points, killing a 9200-point Fin Dragon would only increase his index by about 100 points.

But the closer one gets to the 10,000-point threshold, the smaller the gains become.

This meant he had to hunt even more powerful superhumans.

Only by doing so could he truly reach the Epsilon level.

"Malai and New Rohan are small countries; the superhumans they sent aren't powerful enough."

"I think the superhumans from Hell's Lock and the Neon Pirates would be more... delicious."

After all, compared to Malai and New Rohan, even the Neon Pirates could be considered a powerful nation.

Zhang Yi reached out and stroked Hua Hua's head, saying softly, "It's time to go deeper into the toxic miasma zones! We should also find some interesting opponents, shouldn't we?"

Hua Hua narrowed its eyes, "I also want to eat something good."

Zhang Yi laughed, "Good, then let's go!"

Lele lay on the ground, sniffing hard with its nose. The scents of living creatures flowing in the air, even from far away, would be keenly detected by it.

"Boss, if we want to go deeper into the toxic miasma zones, we need to go in this direction!"

Its nose pointed to the left front.

Zhang Yi raised his hand and opened the Dimensional Gate. A huge circular passage appeared before them.

"Alright, let's go!"

...

"Latest message from the command center confirms that Chaos has eliminated two superhuman teams from New Rohan and Malai."

"Confirmed fatalities: New Rohan's Spider Demon and Tangun; Malai's Sea Husband."

The combat report was synchronized in real-time by the command center to every superhuman present.

This was a suggestion proposed by Li Tianyang to motivate every combat personnel on Star Island.

Indeed, everyone was greatly encouraged upon hearing that Zhang Yi had successively annihilated two superhuman teams in a single day.

"That guy really loves to show off!"

On the Demon Squad side, the captain Lu Huang, codename Taotie, a short figure, raised the corner of his mouth, revealing sharp canine teeth.

"Can't let him have all the spotlight! It's time for us to act too!"

Deng Shentong, Lilong, and others were also inspired. They might not say anything, but they quickened their pace.

Deng Shentong was advancing forward.

In this area, visibility was extremely limited, but for Deng Shentong, this restriction was minimal.

Because he was the embodiment of light. Wherever light existed, his eyes could see through everything.

If he weren't afraid of exposing himself, he could even transform himself into a light source to illuminate the path ahead.

As he was moving forward, a pleasant laughter suddenly rang in his ears, echoing from deep within the thick fog.

Everyone immediately became alert.

Several team members cautiously looked around, but the laughter echoed around them, making it difficult to pinpoint its source direction for a moment.

"Is it an enemy?"

Deng Shentong, however, calmly looked up elsewhere, "It seems... not?"

His gaze, sharp like a hawk's, pierced through the thick mist. Deep within the fog, he saw a very strange existence.

They were several pure white creatures, shimmering with silvery moonlight. They were even shorter than knee-height, yet adorable like miniature crescent moons.

The moment he saw them, Deng Shentong's eyes instantly lit up.

He felt his DNA stir, an instinctive impulse driving him to obtain those creatures.

"Could this be... the Divine Source?"

Deng Shentong was utterly astonished; this was his first thought.

He originally thought the Divine Source should be some kind of ore or energy body, but he never expected it to be living creatures?

No, he couldn't be sure, but he had to catch those little sprites and investigate.

Deng Shentong didn't have time to call his subordinates. He lowered his body and shot like lightning towards that direction.

In just a few breaths, Deng Shentong passed through the thick toxic miasma and arrived where the group of little sprites was.

They looked at Deng Shentong with innocent faces, their silvery moonlight radiance utterly intoxicating.

Upon seeing Deng Shentong, they weren't frightened or ran away. Instead, they giggled and ran over, happily dancing around Deng Shentong.

They made strange yet pleasant sounds from their mouths, as if chanting some ancient ballad.

Deng Shentong didn't dare be careless. His hands were clad in silver gloves, infused with his ability. In a flash, he turned into an afterimage and captured one little sprite.

In that instant, a familiar feeling arose deep within his heart.

It was the feeling of absorbing a superhuman's origin.

Deng Shentong's heart was incredibly excited.

"Could this... be the Divine Source?"

Almost without hesitation, he immediately began devouring this power.

The little sprite in his palm was slowly devoured, yet it showed no signs of fear or anger. It just peacefully turned into wisps of pure energy and entered his body.

Deng Shentong felt so comfortable he almost cried out.

This pure energy was even more exhilarating than absorbing a superhuman's origin!

Just this one little sprite increased his superhuman ability index by at least 50 points!

Comparable to a superhuman with over 8000 points!

"There's no mistake, this must be the Divine Source!"

Deng Shentong looked at the dozen or so little sprites still in front of him, a gleam of fervent heat appearing in his eyes.

He chose not to report the intelligence to the command center.

Instead, he was going to devour all the little sprites before him first. That way, his superhuman ability index could skyrocket by several hundred points!

However, in the next moment, a tremendous sense of crisis enveloped him.

The little sprites sang and danced joyfully, as if performing some kind of sacrificial or summoning ritual.

From deep within the mist, a giant white sprite emerged. It was adorable like an oversized plush toy, with big eyes that seemed very dumbly cute, and antler-like horns on its head.

But when it saw Deng Shentong had killed a little sprite, those dumbly cute eyes instantly turned blood-red.

An immensely fierce and terrifying power instantly erupted from its body, surging towards Deng Shentong!
