Man at the top of the food chain

Three days later, in the Western Continent.

In a small border town where the Codex Kingdom and the Amesite Federation intersect.

Thick smoke covered the entire town, and blood and fire became the most common background.

In this town that looked like the end of the world, a blonde woman stood on a street as if nothing had happened. Around her, there were corpses lying on the ground, exploded cars, and dilapidated buildings everywhere, which formed a sharp contrast with the woman's indifferent look.

Next to the woman, there was a black-haired young man sitting cross-legged. The young man had a handsome face and looked extremely handsome, giving people a feeling of walking out of a painting. However, the young man frowned at this time, and a trace of pain appeared on his face from time to time. I don’t know what he was doing.

At this time, a group of weirdos appeared in the distance. They were expressionless, powerful, and ran like wild horses. When they saw the standing blonde woman and the black-haired young man sitting cross-legged, their eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light, and they roared and rushed over.

Hearing this voice, the young man still sat cross-legged, not caring at all. The blonde woman only glanced at the monsters rushing over, and then she stretched out a finger.

With one finger pointed, the tyrannical spirit rushed towards the attacking monsters with the force of turning the river and the sea. Those monsters were all strong and powerful. Four or five of them could even knock over a car with a frontal attack.

He had never encountered an opponent in the town while crashing and killing, but this time he was torn to pieces by the woman's spirit like a toy.

In one finger, dozens of monsters were killed.

The blonde woman raised her hand again, and a bunch of spiritual fire that was invisible to the naked eye floated out of each monster's head.

The woman said to the black-haired young man who was sitting cross-legged: "Zhenhai, can you still accept it?"

Shang Zhenhai shook his head: "No, leader, I have reached the limit. If I absorb more, I will probably go insane and die."

The woman, who was called leader by Shang Zhenhai, nodded, and then sucked all the spiritual fire into her mouth, just like a whale sucking water. In just a few seconds, the dozens of spiritual fires were all sucked up by the woman.

The young man on the side was envious, but he knew that this kind of spiritual fire not only contained the soul power of the dead, but also had countless memories and consciousness. Once the absorber's will was not firm enough, the power was not strong enough, and the absorbed spiritual fire was too much, it was not enough to suppress the complicated consciousness, and the absorber himself would be mentally disordered.

After absorbing more than a dozen spiritual fires, the woman known as the leader, that is, the leader of the Star Alliance, the Queen, asked again: "Zhenhai, how long will it take you to digest it?"

"Leader, it will take about four or five hours." Shang Zhenhai estimated: "After this absorption, I should be able to reach the fourth energy level. The upgrade speed is too fast."

"It takes too long, it's too late." The blonde woman frowned and shook her head and said: "The source of infection has escaped into the territory of the Code two hours ago. We can't be too far away from him, otherwise once he recovers, it will be very troublesome for me to deal with him."

Shang Zhenhai nodded solemnly. The so-called source of infection is the culprit who caused cannibalism in the Amest Federation. According to the investigation, it is suspected that it is an Amest Federation person who suddenly awakened his ability on the west coast.

His ability is very special. He can emit and spread a virus from his body. This virus can only infect ordinary people. After being infected, ordinary people will lose their minds. At the same time, they are extremely powerful, as fast as a galloping horse, and fearless of death.

Because ordinary people infected will have a strong desire to eat humans, the virtual number agency calls this infectious disease cannibalism. And the infected people are called human monsters.

The most terrifying thing about cannibalism is that ordinary people bitten by human monsters will also be infected with the virus and become the next human monster.

Originally, after discovering this virus, the virtual number agency directly cooperated with the army to wipe out all the human monsters at once. In fact, they did it very smoothly at first. After all, although human monsters are highly contagious, their combat effectiveness is not high. With the powerful ability of the virtual number agency and the advanced weapons of the army, it is very easy to wipe them out.

But the whole thing took a sharp turn after a discovery. An ability user of the virtual number agency accidentally discovered the ability user who spread the virus. Before discovering that ability user, everyone thought it was just a sudden outbreak of the virus, and no one thought it was caused by the ability.

When the ability user who spread the virus was discovered, the other party was creating new human monsters.

What followed was a series of pursuits and searches. But the more they came into contact with this ability user, the more surprised the people of the virtual number agency were. They named the target ability user X. They found that the biggest purpose of X's ability was not to cause destruction. His real purpose of spreading the virus was to hunt.

X first spread the virus. After humans were infected with the virus and turned into human monsters, they would hunt humans crazily. By hunting humans, human monsters would become stronger and stronger. When human monsters become strong to a certain extent, they would return to find X, and X would directly eat human monsters. After eating human monsters, he would absorb the power of human monsters.

This is an unprecedented brutal ability. In order to prevent X from growing to a point where it is difficult to control, the virtual number agency directly dispatched two level 5 ability users, Silver Moon Giant God and Fierce Fang Giant God, to hunt down X.

But when they arrived, X had grown from the initial third energy level to the fifth energy level. What's worse, their actions were stopped by the Star Alliance. At that time, the Silver Moon Giant God directly fought with the Titan, the highest cadre of the Star Alliance who came.

But until now, the imaginary number agency has not been able to figure out why the Star Alliance wanted to stop them.

What they don't know is that the Queen of Heaven, for some unknown reason, personally studied the incident between X and the human monster and made a major discovery.

The human monster hunts humans and then offers himself to X. This seems to be a method with great energy loss. But after the Queen of Heaven's research, it was found that the facts are far from this.

Through the Queen of Heaven's fifth energy level mental force field, she found that the soul of the infected human monster would turn into a little soul fire. Every time a person is killed, half of the human soul will be absorbed, and the remaining half will become the soul fire of the new human monster. So the more people the human monster kills, the stronger its power will be, and the stronger its soul fire will be. When they become strong to a certain limit, they will return to X and contribute their own soul fire.

The power that X used to absorb and grow stronger was this soul fire. X's virus, through the transformation of the body, affects the operation of the soul. This ability is simply incredible. The Queen immediately thought of whether ordinary people with special abilities can absorb this soul fire.

She found that with the help of mental abilities, any person with special abilities can absorb these soul fires. Although the efficiency is only about 10% of X, it is also very scary.

This means that they can make themselves stronger by harvesting the human monsters created by X. The Queen's ability to break through to the sixth energy level is obviously closely related to the appearance of human monsters.

This is also the real reason why they prevented the virtual number agency from destroying X.

But it is obviously very unsafe to let X stay in the Amest Federation. The actions of the Star Alliance will be suspected by the virtual number agency.

So the Star Alliance and the virtual number agency split into two groups. On the surface, they chased X, but in fact, they absorbed the spiritual fire of the human monster along the way. However, in order to prevent X from becoming more and more powerful and difficult to control, the Queen of Heaven personally led the team and kept the rhythm well controlled. Every time, X was allowed to spread the virus, but before he absorbed the human monster, he was directly injured and driven away, and the Queen of Heaven came to absorb the spiritual fire.

As for the more than 300,000 civilians who died along the way, it was not the concern of the Star Alliance.

They even consciously drove X to the Code Country, and the Code Country was the weakest among the three major powers in the Western Continent.

When Shang Zhenhai thought of this, he thought: 'Maybe the entire Code Country will be sacrificed and become a land of death, and X will be captured after being used, either for research or imprisonment. ’

At this moment, the Queen of Heaven on the side suddenly said: "Zhenhai, your ability is very promising. Although it has not been announced and listed in the ability sequence, I estimate that with the superiority of your ability, it is enough to rank in the top five in the ability sequence of the field system. That's why I brought you here to quickly improve your ability."

"I am very grateful for the kindness of the leader." Shang Zhenhai knelt down.

"Okay, there is no time. Since you can't absorb it yet, I will absorb it first. Then go after X." The Queen of Heaven stretched out her hand and the whole town was shrouded in an invisible spiritual force field. Tens of thousands of monsters were hit hard and were flattened by the invisible force at the same time.

Then, tens of thousands of spiritual fires were pulled out directly under the effect of the spiritual force field, and gathered towards the Queen of Heaven like a river in the sky.

In just half a minute, tens of thousands of monsters were wiped out by the Queen of Heaven.

After absorbing all the spiritual fire, the Queen said calmly: "Zhenhai, get ready to go. Next, we have to approach X once, but this body is too fragile and can only exert 30% of my strength. You have to be careful next time. But this is also an opportunity to hone you. Energy level is not everything, actual combat is the best alchemy stone."

At this moment, the Queen's communicator sounded.

After the Queen clicked it, a voice came from it: "Congratulations to the leader for being promoted to the sixth energy level. From now on, you will be invincible in the world."

"Okay, Bluman, stop talking nonsense, what do you want?" The Queen said coldly.

Bluman flattered: "Alliance leader, you were busy with the affairs of the Amest Federation some time ago, so my instructions on Daxia have not been approved. I heard that the alliance leader has finally been promoted to the sixth energy level, so is it..."

"Li Anping from Daxia?" The Queen's mind flashed with the evaluation report on Li Anping: "Although his potential is good, he is indeed a bit of an eyesore. I will send Yulia and Mammon to help you. After Li Anping disappears, you can disband the Dragon Bird of Daxia and recruit all the ability users above the third energy level. For other matters, please follow Yulia's opinion."

Hearing that his right to dispose of Daxia changed hands in an instant, Bluman hesitated and said: "...Yes, sir."

But Shang Zhenhai on the side suddenly interrupted: "Alliance leader, I wonder if you can spare Li Anping's life?"

"Oh?" The Queen seemed to suddenly remember something: "Yes, it seems that your father and brother died at the hands of Li Anping? Do you want to take revenge yourself?"

"Yes." Shang Zhenhai asked: "I wonder if the alliance leader can give me this opportunity."

"Okay, wait till you reach the fourth energy level and rush over." The Queen agreed. She still admired Shang Zhenhai very much: "With your ability, the fourth energy level is enough to deal with him. But at that time, you must also follow the arrangements of Yulia and Mammon, and can't do anything on your own."

"Thank you, leader." Shang Zhenhai said happily. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

...

At the same time, on the snowy land in the north of the East Continent, Li Anping was heading towards the Ice Castle. He didn't know that in the distant West Continent, some things closely related to him were gradually developing. A creature with similar but absolutely different abilities as him was about to or was turning the West Continent upside down, until it caused a shocking storm that swept the world.
