World Version Updates-Chapter 501 - 314: Ascenders Squad and the Origin of Version Invasion_2

But ultimately, they couldn't escape the fate of being completely obliterated, leaving not a single trace behind.

Moments later, as the residual energy waves slightly subsided, a large number of nanobot repair units surged from underground like a tide.

They swiftly cleared the battlefield debris and began reconstructing an identical steel outpost with astonishing efficiency, as if the brutal battle had never occurred.

Watching this scene of efficiency and cruelty unfold before him, a barely noticeable flicker of a strange hue appeared in Lu Yan's eyes.

His gaze inadvertently fell upon a seemingly calm outpost adjacent to the explosion area.

Behind that outpost, five Spiritual Ability Users clad in silver-gray standard combat suits identical to those worn by the surrounding patrols were calmly gathering some supplies, seemingly preparing to provide support to the recently destroyed and now being rebuilt outpost.

However, upon closer inspection, an extremely uncanny detail emerges.

The Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from these five Spiritual Ability Users appear exceptionally thin and superficial.

The energy aura that signifies the identity of a Spiritual Ability User merely covers their bodies like a thin mist without deep integration with their flesh, lacking any substantial Spiritual Transformation.

There is no doubt that these five seemingly ordinary Spiritual Ability Users are complete impostors.

And those figures who were utterly annihilated in the blast of the catastrophic cannon were likely the decoys used by these five individuals to draw fire.

"Interesting."

Lu Yan's gaze becomes deeper, and the corners of his mouth curl into a meaningful smile.

...

Meanwhile, the five Ascender squad members who successfully infiltrated the Spiritual Ability User team and cleverly used other unfortunates to draw fire were unaware that their poor disguise had been thoroughly seen through by Lu Yan.

Not until they followed a genuine patrol team of Spiritual Ability Users, safely passing through several internal checkpoints, did the entire squad breathe long sighs of relief and slightly relax their taut nerves.

"This should already be the edge of the Celestial Dome. The damned Eye of God's surveillance should be drastically weakened and might not be able to observe us directly," one team member with a slightly hoarse voice said through the squad's encrypted communication channel.

"That's right. As long as we successfully enter City No.14 and completely escape the coverage of the Celestial Dome, we should be considered to have passed this preliminary stage of the large-scale legion conflict mission," another voice, sounding more composed, responded.

"Damn it, this is just the preliminary stage? Is the Main God trying to kill us this time?" another team member with a slightly lighthearted tone and a hint of lingering fear complained.

"Hmph, reincarnation missions aren't just about having great strength and running wild. You've got to use your brain at critical moments!"

The previously composed voice snorted coldly and admonished them, "EX-level mission difficulty and this Celestial Dome covering the entire sky and earth—it's obvious that this must be some kind of large-scale monitoring technique.

Those who foolishly remained in the wilderness without knowing how to hide their tracks are nothing but brainless idiots, aren't they?

If we manage to blend into the city upon arrival, and use some permissions or tools provided by the Main God Space to temporarily conceal our identity and aura, the chance to evade the Eye of God's initial scan isn't actually that low."

"I've heard that City No.14, due to the absence of the Celestial Dome coverage, has become a gathering place for all sorts of rogues."

It's said several title-level reincarnator bosses, as well as those infamous top-tier reincarnator squads in the Main God Space, have already made their way to City No.14 ahead of time.

Conventional methods surely won't work against the terrifying Celestial Dome and the Intelligent God behind it. Our next steps should focus on establishing connections with the indigenous forces of this world, particularly the rebel alliance within City No.14.

I've received information that those title-level bosses are now trying every conceivable method to forge ties and cultivate good relations with those indigenous leaders, aiming to acquire crucial intelligence and support. We must act quickly, we can't fall behind!"

A team member who sounds like the squad's strategist quickly analyzed the current situation.

After a brief discussion, the five members of the Ascender squad carefully restrained their aura again, mingling with the patrol team like genuine soldiers, and continued to advance slowly towards the depths of City No.14. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Unbeknownst to them, every word and every detail of their conversation through the encrypted channel had already been crystal clear to Lu Yan, who appeared unaffected and indifferent.

"Reincarnators? EX-level mission?"

Upon hearing these familiar terms, Lu Yan was slightly startled. His gaze seemed to penetrate all illusions, directly seeing through the Spiritual Energy combat suits used by the five Ascender squad members to disguise themselves, revealing their true appearances beneath the suits.

"So they are... these kinds of Ascenders?"

Even with Lu Yan's mindset, understanding the true forms of those five members brought about some surprise.
