Chapter 1087 The weak and the strong
A long time ago.

The disaster-level malice representing "domination", [Reuben Victoriano and Mobius] were born. Before the domination of the evil circle was achieved, there was naturally no comprehensive ranking between disasters.

As Reuben overwhelmed the disasters one by one with his power, he gradually established the prototype of the "City of Evil".

Reuben stumbled upon a world that was close to malice, but the world itself was not infected by malice.

The weak humans living there all lead normal lives. Logically, such a world should have been swallowed up by malice long ago, and it is impossible for such a harmonious scene to appear.

Reuben, who was eager to complete the control of the evil circle, had no patience to explore the reasons and directly covered the entire world with domination. However, when the domination reached a certain city, it was suddenly blocked by something, and even the iron wire representing the domination disappeared instantly.

This forced Reuben to come in person and meet Hannibal Lecter for the first time in a private manor. Even at first glance, he failed to realize that this well-mannered psychology professor was actually a projection of the disaster.

Even though she was face to face with him, she still couldn't control him.
After three days and three nights of fierce fighting,
Reuben had to use all his tricks to barely overpower his opponent, and he even nearly died several times. As a dominant figure, he felt for the first time that his status was shaken, and he even felt a lack of power to dominate.

Hannibal is interesting, though.

It was also the first time for him to encounter such a powerful existence. Meeting an individual stronger than him temporarily tore off the label of "top predator" in his mind.

After hearing that Reuben wanted to build a rule-governed evil circle city, Hannibal became slightly interested and decided to go over and take a look. If necessary, he could help suppress other malicious intent and even select high-quality ingredients from it.

The two returned to the [City of Evil] which had not yet been fully built.

Reuben convened a disaster council for the first time, and Hannibal seemed to have a strong obsession with distinguishing between the strong and the weak, and proposed at the meeting to rank the current disasters by strength.

But disasters each have powerful, unique capabilities.

If a tournament is arranged to distinguish the strong from the weak, the newly built City of Evil may collapse before the game is over, and there will be heavy casualties inside the disaster, which is not conducive to the advancement of "Great Annihilation".

Reuben took the opportunity to give a comprehensive scoring concept.

The six data points used to comprehensively measure the intensity of the disaster also apply to the following malicious intent. His mental hospital can detect malicious intent with a slight upgrade.

Of course, this information will be made public within the disaster, and Reuben will also conduct tests himself.

Although this ranking does not have any substantial power distinction, different disasters will have an invisible strength rating. Especially when making a major decision, the disasters ranked higher will have a greater say, which is more convenient for Reuben to manage.
quickly,

The inspection of the ten major disasters was completed, and the nurse handed the report forms to Reuben.

Reuben took it easy when reviewing data on other disasters.

But when he was at the bottom and the data about the second disaster was presented, his face changed suddenly, and his position as a ruler seemed to be shaking.

Recalling the previous confrontation with Hannibal and the experience of being almost killed, he completely regarded him as a thorn in his heart... In Reuben's opinion, as long as this man stayed in the [City of Evil], it would be entirely possible for him to break the dominance he had established.

Similarly, when Hannibal later decided to leave the City of Evil because he could no longer tolerate the inferior performance of most of the malicious people, Reuben did not make any attempt to keep him and let him leave.

——Psychiatric appraisal files——

Name: Hannibal Lecter

Literary carrier: novel-"Red Dragon"

Keywords: "The law of the jungle", "cleanliness", "contempt"

Overall rating:

[Total amount of malice]: A
[Dangerous Radiation]: S+ (*Exceeds the maximum detection limit of the mental hospital)
[Transmission efficiency]: S
【Coverage】: B
[Conceptual rigidity]: A
【Growth Potential】：A+
Both abilities reached the highest values ​​set by the mental hospital, and the dangerous radiation even exceeded the maximum value that the mental hospital could detect, which is why it could pose a direct threat to Reuben.

Moreover, Hannibal's viciousness of the survival of the fittest is, to a certain extent, no less than domination, and is directly related to the most basic law of life.

[The lowest level of the Seven Heavens]

A dedicated asylum for the 'unknown'.

Within the shelter, anyone who learns information about the 'unknown', including but not limited to name, ability, appearance, etc.

As long as they know it, they will establish some kind of connection with the 'unknown', and there is a high probability that they will be labeled as food, and can be disassembled and collected. If the quality of the flesh is not up to standard, they may be killed directly or made into fertilizer.

The supreme deity in charge of this place, Allah Jehovah, has given Hannibal full control over the use of the shelter.
The condition is that Hannibal will kill anyone who comes to the shelter to try to rescue him or pass on information about the Great Annihilation.

current,

Jesus, who was about to go to help isolate the zombie virus, happened to see the two people who had contact with Hannibal in the shelter.

He was quite surprised by Yi Chen's appearance. After all, this young man had been here before as a representative of a patient.

But that doesn't matter.

When he saw Hannibal taking action against the Seventh Disaster, he was temporarily relieved and personally led the archangels to support other divine realms.

……

Boom!

The floor was crushed.

Yi Chen and the Seventh Disaster, who turned into the concept of death, fell rapidly, and during the fall, they were fed "dumplings" that could repair all malicious injuries.

"Thank you..." The blind old man immediately expressed his gratitude to Yi Chen after recovering. He didn't want to die like this. After all, his mission was not yet completed.

Now, the old man sees Hannibal as an enemy who must be killed.

Yi Chen also felt unprecedented pressure and took the initiative to propose cooperation, "Let's escape together."

But the old man had the look of a soldier going to die, "There's no escape. Since we entered this building, we have stepped on the tongue of No. 2 and entered his "feast".

Since No.2 has expressed hostility, there is no other way but to kill him."

"A feast?"

The falling old man changed the subject: "Mr. Yi, I heard that you defeated and absorbed the power of the Tenth Disaster in some way? Do you have this ability to absorb others?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

“Because once you are targeted by No.2, it is almost impossible to survive.

Anyone weaker than him will eventually become food, and the rule of the jungle always exists.

With my current abilities, no matter how many dumplings I eat, I will only be slaughtered... If I want to defeat the Second Disaster, I must become a "top predator" like him.

If you have the ability to absorb others, please absorb me here.

This may be the only way for us to escape and meet up with Mr. Reuben. In addition, Mr. Reuben also explained this situation to me privately, and if necessary, he can help you kill No. 2."

Yi Chen's face turned gloomy. "The law of the jungle?"

The two fell to the lowest level of the shelter, which was also the place where Hannibal had been imprisoned.

Just landed,

Both of them felt at the same time that they were being labeled, tongues were licking the surface of their internal organs, and any part of their body could be taken away at any time.

There is no time to hesitate. Any second wasted may result in it being collected and used as food.

"My ability is not to absorb others... But there is a way."

Yi Chen suddenly raised his right hand and shouted loudly:
"Mr. Hannibal, please allow me to have a pure killing duel with No. 7. He and I are of the same type, and we both have a relationship with killers.

The winner will be more in line with your ideal of perfect food, and my quality will improve as a result.”

Yi Chen's words obviously moved Hannibal. The licking sensation in his body immediately disappeared, and Hannibal himself slowly descended with an elegant posture.

“Good suggestion.

However, annihilation has come and time is limited.

I'll give you twenty minutes to screen yourself!"

Hannibal took out a human-skin sofa and a long-treasured fine wine from his collection cabinet, and watched the duel between the two low-level creatures with a superior attitude.
