King of Assassins-Chapter 898 - 640: Conscription_3

In today's Outer Star Realm, however, Evil Gods run rampant. Most planets indulge them, causing the lower class to completely fall into decay.

It's just like an abyss, no matter how hard one tries, there's no chance to escape it.

The most terrifying part is that everyone is accustomed to this societal form, becoming utterly numb.

The root of all this lies in the Holy Hall, the five Noble Families, at the Alliance's top levels.

Gao Xuan sneered in his heart, one day, he would confront Nuwa, Jin Yuxiu, and others for clarity.

The secretive exchanges between Yuan Youyuan and Gao Xuan did not escape Shui Yunling's notice. Though she didn't know what the two were discussing, she could guess.

She smiled and said, "These people have willingly fallen, as rotten as mud, completely redundant as life. They don't even qualify to be called human. No need to pity them."

Shui Yunling sighed and said, "The first time I came to the Outer Star Realm, I was filled with pity for them. But I quickly realized that emotions held no significance for these people.

"These people are destined to be foul-smelling by nature; they lack wisdom, even humanity. Just like there's no necessity in loving or hating a puddle of mud."

Yuan Youyuan nodded but said nothing. She didn't quite like Shui Yunling's condescending tone; it was too arrogant and lacked basic respect for life.

Shui Yunling wasn't bothered by the lack of response; she knew Yuan Youyuan couldn't accept her views yet.

It was normal; Yuan Youyuan was only eighteen, still full of naive fantasies about the world.

Yuan Ping felt the atmosphere was a bit somber, so she took the initiative to speak, "The Investigator's insights are brilliant. Most of the lower class willingly fall into decay; their genes destined them to be as humble as dirt..."

Shui Yunling smiled modestly, Yuan Ping's flattering was average, but the timing was right.

The Flying Ship flew on for a few more minutes, then Gao Xuan suddenly said, "Right here."

He reached out and tapped on the virtual screen before him, marking a point on a derelict skyscraper.

Most of the building's glass exterior was in tatters, the remaining intact portions dotted with stains.

An infrared scan revealed the building was packed with countless red dots, with at least thousands residing inside.

Including the subterranean structures, the total population might exceed ten thousand.

Shui Yunling glanced and asked, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, the Evil God's presence is very strong. It's deep underground," Gao Xuan affirmed.

Yuan Ping said, "There are too many believers of the Evil God here. We should devise a plan of action, so the Evil God doesn't escape."

The believers lack combat strength, but with so many, the Evil God could easily possess one to flee.

Shui Yunling waved her hand, "No need for trouble. Use the Pangolin Type-3 missile to utterly destroy this building."

"Ah?" Yuan Youyuan was shocked, "There are nearly ten thousand people inside?"

"They are not human, just trash worshiping the Evil God."

Shui Yunling gently explained to Yuan Youyuan and reiterated the order, "Fire."

This heavy Flying Eagle Battleship had a hull length of twenty meters, a multifunctional combat flying ship. The armament it carried could even meet space combat needs.

Upon Shui Yunling's command, the Pangolin Type-3 missile was electro-magnetically launched from the ship's missile hatch.

The missile's initial speed was incredibly fast, a white streak flashing to an altitude of several kilometers. At this height, the missile adjusted its attitude, flipped over, paused for 0.1 seconds, then shot downward.

As implied by its name, the Pangolin missile possessed exceptional Penetration Power, specializing in targeting fortifications and underground shelters.

The missile turned into a straight white line, piercing through the skyscraper's rooftop, running through the entire building, eventually burrowing a hundred meters underground before exploding.

The high-explosive substance released shockwaves and high temperatures, utterly destructive to ordinary materials.

The entire skyscraper erupted into smoke and debris, flames leaping over a kilometer high.

The Flying Ship was still over ten kilometers from the building, yet it clearly felt the shock wave.

One missile caused not only the skyscraper's downfall but heavily hit the surrounding dozens of tall buildings.

The closest two high-rises trembled violently, quickly collapsing into ruins.

Yuan Youyuan observed the destruction on the screen, estimating that at least thirty to forty thousand were killed. Given the dense population and strong missile impact.

At the explosion's center, a dense green light emerged. On close inspection, it encased a massive alien insect.

The insect was over a hundred meters long, had dozens of legs, a dark green carapace, and a head full of bright green eyes. It resembled a giant centipede.

Such a huge and ugly insect shocked everyone inside.

Shui Yunling looked at the insect with delight, "This one has reached Sixth Grade, right?"

Shui Yulan whispered from behind, "From the Source Power response, it has reached Sixth Grade."

"This should be the Hundred-legged Worm recorded by the Holy Hall. This Evil God is extremely vile with a scent having strong hallucinogenic effects. It also controls various corrosive Source Power, melting ordinary Holy Armor upon contact..."

Yuan Ping, who reviewed Holy Hall records, instantly recognized the Evil God.

Shui Yunling smiled slightly at Gao Xuan, "Please, if you could. We'll cheer you on from behind."

Gao Xuan nodded, activating the Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Armor, flying out the hatch. Yuan Youyuan, wearing the Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Armor, followed right behind.

The Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Armor lacked wings for flight, but the electromagnetic properties counteracted gravity, allowing free flight at various angles through electromagnetic guidance.

Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan spread out, their deep blue to bright Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Holy Armor standing out amidst the swirling dust.

Where they passed, there was no sound, leaving only a dazzling deep blue light trail.

"The Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Armor truly lives up to its Seventh Grade top-tier status, very handy."

Shui Yunling praised. Her armor was custom-tailored, but even it couldn't outperform the Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Armor.

Watching Yuan Youyuan and Gao Xuan masterfully handle the Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Armor, fully exploiting its capabilities—a rare sight among Outer Star Realm's Low-tier Paladins.

Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan quietly communicated, "Don't kill too quickly and don't drag it out."

The Profound Yin Soul Slaying Whip and Demon-Sundering Arm Blade, upgraded to Fifth Grade, could effortlessly annihilate the giant insect. But they couldn't afford to be overly bold in front of Shui Yunling.

Both maintained restraint, limiting their magical artifact's power to the Sixth Grade level.

After a few rounds of probing, Yuan Youyuan wielded the Profound Yin Soul Slaying Whip. The dark whip wrapped around the massive insect like long tassels.

Seizing the moment, Gao Xuan deployed the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade, clawing repeatedly, shredding the Hundred-legged Worm's huge head.

Finally, the duo channeled Thunder Light, blasting the Hundred-legged Worm's body into flying ash.

After slaying the Hundred-legged Worm, a baby fist-sized dense green Divine Crystal remained, resembling an Imperial Green Jadeite, transparent, pure, and exquisite.

"Top Grade Sixth Grade special attribute Divine Crystal."

Shui Yulan examined the Divine Crystal for a moment and made an accurate assessment.

Shui Yunling took the Divine Crystal, intrigued by playing with it for a while.

She told Gao Xuan, "The two of you demonstrated exceptional combat skills, truly impressive. Well done."

Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan modestly exchanged a few words.

Shui Yunling continued, "If you are not tired, we can proceed."

No matter Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan's fatigue, with Shui Yunling's suggestion, they had to carry on.

In Profound Bird City, Evil Gods were even more abundant. Gao Xuan located five Evil Gods in succession; one was Sixth Grade, the rest were of a lower grade.

Still, each Evil God yielded a Divine Crystal.

In one day, they harvested six Divine Crystals. Such efficiency left Shui Yunling astonished.

Although Outer Star Realm intentionally let Evil Gods be, they were like lurking beasts and snakes in the forest. Harvesting Evil Gods wasn't easy.

With Gao Xuan's harvesting speed, Evil Gods seemed domesticated—killed at will.

When everyone returned to the Holy Hall, Shui Yunling summoned Gao Xuan alone.

She dispensed with pleasantries and said directly, "I greatly admire your talents. Would you consider working for me?

(Happy New Year to everyone. Have a prosperous year.)
