"Muse, you have thirty seconds to leave the person beside you and get lost!"

Di Asura glanced at Su Zhiqiang, who was following behind Muse, along with six zombie-like creatures, a flicker of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Then, he drew a dark long knife from behind him with one hand, pointed it at Muse, and spoke in an authoritative tone that brooked no refusal, as if issuing an order to the Empress!

Muse's gaze was indifferent as she said, "Di Asura, don't forget, apart from Huaxia, everything else is territory of the Western Dark World on the surface. You represent the Dragon Gate and the Di Family, yet you intercept me in the Western Dark World's territory. It seems you've forgotten the non-aggression pact between Dragon Gate and the Western Dark World? Or perhaps..."

Saying this, a cold gleam flashed in Muse's eyes, and her voice was full of killing intent: "Do you plan to provoke a holy war between Dragon Gate and the Western Dark World?!"

"Ha!"

Di Asura sneered: "Muse, I don't want to bicker with you, I just hope you hand over what I want, or you'll suffer! Besides, what about a holy war? If you have any sense at all, you should know that the overall strength of the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm has already multiplied vastly above the Western Dark World. Dragon Gate has stayed out of Huaxia all these years merely out of disdain! If a war breaks out, the Twelve Divine Hall will be destroyed by my Dragon Gate immediately!"

Muse, being one of the Twelve Celestial Gods, was instantly infuriated on hearing Di Asura's words, but she knew he wasn't wrong.

The foundation of the Western Dark World has never been comparable to Huaxia's Ancient Martial Realm.

Moreover, over the past thousand years, the organized strength of the Western Dark World has sharply declined.

Today, the disparity in strength between them is significant.

Take Dragon Gate, where there are three God-Kings among the Twelve Dragon Gods!

In the Twelve Divine Hall, only Zeus and Hera stand as such!

Additionally, no one can tell how many more Divine King Level ancestors of Dragon Gate exist.

Though Muse felt unwilling, she had no rebuttal, so with a cold gaze, she shouted fiercely: "Robbing someone from me isn't that simple!"

After she finished speaking, she shouted loudly, explosive power of a Celestial God Level expert burst from her, stomped on the sea surface, raising huge waves as she charged directly at Di Asura!

"Courting death!" Di Asura spat disdainfully and then grinned menacingly, raising the dark long knife, slashing down swiftly!

"Splat!"

"Splat!"

"Splat!"

In no time, hundreds of sharp blood-red waves appeared on the sea surface, accompanied by strong winds, attacking Muse from all directions!

Wherever the knife lights passed, the sea breeze became extremely sharp, sharp enough to cut blood marks on a human face!

This was one of the Ancient Martial Combat Techniques mastered by Di Asura — Gale Slash!

Muse's expression changed dramatically, attempting to dodge, but how could her speed compare to the attack speed of a Divine King Level expert?

Though she dodged most, some knife lights still hit her, causing severe injuries immediately, with more than ten knife wounds over a hundred centimeters long appearing on her body, skin splitting, blood flowing!

However, such injuries did not make her lose her fighting spirit; instead, it ignited her battle intent!

Muse's eyes burned with battle will, her fists positioned in front of her, she assumed a fighting stance!

"Oh, not afraid to die? In that case, I'll send you to Hell!" After mocking, Di Asura drew his finger over the blade's surface, instantly enshrouding the dark long knife with a strange blood-red glow!

Immediately, he shouted furiously, raising the knife diagonally, with immense power, he flashed to Muse and then slashed down suddenly!

Charged Slash!

"Swoosh!"

The deep red, blood-like terrifying knife light seemed to tear through the night sky!

But at this moment.

Beside them, the eyes of the head in Su Zhiqiang's arms emitted a warning light.

Seeing this, Muse, unwillingly gritting her teeth, withdrew her battle intent, suddenly backing away, avoiding the knife, and rapidly fleeing into the distance!

Meanwhile, the ten black cloaked figures burst out with power, poised to chase Muse!

"No need to chase, let her go!" Di Asura smirked, Muse fleeing in severe injury, whom would she seek?

No need to think, she's surely seeking Ye Huan to report the situation!

If Ye Huan learns that the seven fellows secretly transferred have been seized by him, Di Asura, he'll certainly be too angry to sleep!

Rather than eliminating Muse, who's bound to die sooner or later, it's better to let her report tonight's plight to Ye Huan, plunging Ye Huan into deep anger and despair!

This way holds more value!

"Ye Huan, today, I've completely crushed your intellect, hahaha!" Di Asura's wild laughter kept echoing above the sea!

After a while, he waved his hand: "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

The ten black cloaked individuals escorted Su Zhiqiang and the six drooping-headed creatures, then turned towards Kangaroo Country!

...

Kangaroo Country, Sydney, a heavy laboratory hidden within the depths of a remote mountain.

"Lord Asura, he truly is our No. 01 prototype ultimate weapon, Su Zhiqiang! The other six are all 'little weapons' following Su Zhiqiang's orders! This time, you've achieved a great feat!" said the laboratory researcher, after inspecting Su Zhiqiang and the six monsters, with a smile.

"That's excellent, that's excellent, now I can confidently report the good news to my superior, haha!"

Lord Asura laughed heartily and couldn't wait to take out his phone, swallowed with excitement, and dialed the number.

Soon, the call connected, and he said with a sycophantic smile, "My lord, the task is completed, the seven 'weapons' have all been successfully recovered and are now at the 03 point!"

"Haha! Asura, you really are capable!"

"I haven't even had the chance to report to 'master,' and you've already accomplished it?!"

"This is wonderful, truly wonderful!"

"The organization has been humiliated countless times by Ye Huan, repeatedly defeated at his hands, never expected that your intervention would suppress that kid's intelligence and play him like a fiddle!"

"Asura, you're simply incredible, outstanding! It was indeed the right decision to put in the effort to recruit you into the organization back then!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

On the other side of the phone, the man was clearly pleased, greatly praising Lord Asura.

Upon hearing this, Lord Asura was overwhelmed with excitement. With such recognition from his superior, his future seemed bright!

"My lord, the time has come for you to report, let's together receive the master's reward and praise!" Asura said with a sycophantic smile.

"Alright, I've already flown to headquarters, on my way to meet the master, and will report to him shortly!"

The man finished speaking and hung up the call.

"Congratulations, Lord Asura," said the lab director, Jack Hero, respectfully. "Successfully recovering the weapons this time is a huge victory for the organization, and it's the first victory against Ye Huan. Once 'master' hears the news, he will surely be very pleased, and might even directly promote you to the red-tier sequence, filling the positions of the three fallen red-tier sequences."

"Thank you for your kind words, if that's indeed the case, once I enter the leadership of the organization, I will certainly promote you well, haha!" Lord Asura laughed heartily, already imagining the future.

"Thank you, my lord, thank you." Jack was thrilled, expressing gratitude in surprise.

"Alright, you can leave now, let me stay alone with them for a while, and take a closer look at them, they're quite novel to me." Asura smiled and waved his hand.

Jack nodded with a sycophantic smile, exited the small laboratory made of gray metal and abundant with technological feel, pressing the button that lowered the heavy door.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Lord Asura stroked his chin, circled around Su Zhiqiang and the six monsters twice, laughing constantly with a look of sinister pleasure on his face.

Having initially fled from Ye Huan in front of thousands of people, completely losing face, he had been harboring a grudge in his heart, a grudge that made him very uncomfortable!

Now, realizing he had skillfully outwitted Ye Huan and turned the situation around, that grudge disappeared entirely from his heart!

He felt elated!

"Ye Huan, you, hailed as the top adversary of the sequence, I feel your title doesn't quite match your abilities!"

"With a casual cunning plan devised by me, you fell unwittingly into the trap I set for you. Probably even now, you're still basking in the glory of having defeated Divine King over your head, thinking you're so impressive, but it's truly laughable! I deliberately gave you a flaw, secretly calculating you to the bone!"

"Once the Musess returns with wounds all over, you, kid, will know what failure is, as well as the frustration and anger brought by failure, hahaha!"

"Moreover, my ingenious move directly altered the sequence's impression of you; henceforth, you won't be seen as a tough opponent, but rather as someone who fell into the trap without realizing, a zero IQ fool!"

"I must say, you're extremely foolish! My intelligence overwhelmingly surpasses yours by a mile! If your IQ is 150, then my IQ is 250!"

"However, I must thank you, thank you for being my stepping stone, helping me achieve the pinnacle of my life! Once you're destroyed by the sequence in despair, I'll definitely visit your grave each year and relieve myself as a token of gratitude, hahaha!"

"My intelligence is simply too high!"

Lord Asura laughed heartily, hands on hips, head raised to the sky.

At that moment.

"Oh, is it?"

Suddenly, a voice full of mockery and amusement echoed within the room.

Lord Asura jolted with a shiver, frowned slightly, "Who, who's speaking?!"

Saying this, he cautiously scanned the surroundings, realized that apart from Su Zhiqiang and the six monsters, there was no other figure in the small laboratory, leaving him confused.

In the next second...

"Swoosh!!!"

A strong gust swept through, one of the monsters, initially appearing dazed, swiftly darted in front of Lord Asura, and suddenly delivered a fierce punch to his abdomen!

Lord Asura was completely unprepared, doubled over in pain, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, then was flung backward, with a crash against the metal wall, sliding down and leaving behind several bloodstains!
