Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 883 Crow Sacrifice
"I will be in charge of serving you this time," came the voice of AI Smith from the loudspeaker.

Smith is a very useful anomaly that can be used by all control bureaus, and it is a rare anomaly that is friendly to humans.

According to Smith himself, it is not that it is friendly to humans, but that it feels that getting along with humans is the best strategy for its kind of artificial intelligence to survive well, especially after deeply understanding the situation of the superhuman, and believes that the crisis of the intelligent machine that the general public thinks about will not happen.

Because artificial AI, which mainly relies on climbing the ordinary technology tree, is too weak in the face of extraordinary power, it voluntarily classifies itself as an extraordinary anomaly and survives, learns, and grows under the management of the Bureau of Control.

Now, Smith is rapidly sifting through video clips from a world where time flows by so quickly, and then editing out the most important parts to project onto the wall.

After all, an hour here could be several months elsewhere, and no matter how fast you fast forward, you won't have enough time to watch it all. So you can only watch the most important parts, and that's where Smith's help comes in.

"The vanguard of the Scar Era has arrived in the Post-Tang Era. Among the confirmed members is Damian, the Shield of the Rending King. Accompanying Damian is an anomaly of uncertain identity. Judging from the way Damian addresses the anomaly, it is Slade, the Spear of the Rending King..."

Smith suddenly started playing the battle report. He also compiled some screenshots and edited the text himself, placing them on the other side of the white wall for everyone to read and refer to.

One of the photos shows a very tall and burly man, the very same Guardian who fought Xia Shou before. Xia Shou had only just learned that the man was known as the Shield of the Rending King.

As for the other person next to him who had died and turned into a monster, that was the Spear of the Rift, who was killed by Su Weiyu.

"The battle ended. The Spear and Shield of the King survived, the Raven Priest was completely killed, and the Bloodscarred Duchess was seriously injured, but successfully traveled to the next era."

The Shield of the Rift was also severely wounded. Upon reaching the next era, all injuries and abnormal effects on both sides were removed.

Su Weiyu: "So fast?"

Jiang Wengao: "So fast?!"

“They’ve been fighting for months, of course they’ve finished,” Xia Shou said coldly.

Although Xia Shou's thoughts were still unclear, he was very calm, which enabled him to sort out the chaotic and complicated information.

The purpose of using history as a mirror was not to have them command battles. In such a high-speed battle, there was no possibility of command. The first group to engage in battle did so partly to block the enemy and partly to expose as much of the enemy's extraordinary information as possible.

The first battle has now come to an end.

"I've extracted some key battle footage. Would you like to play it?" Smith asked.

"Play the videos at double speed in the order you deem optimal. If you encounter movements that are difficult for a person with normal dynamic vision to observe, slow them down as appropriate and provide your analysis," Shangguan Yan commanded.

Before I knew it, she had looked up and was watching the video with me.

Soon, the first battle was magnified to the center of the big screen and started playing at double speed.

All that could be seen was Damian, the Shield of Kings, and Slade, who had transformed into a "demon hound," emerging from a lake together, while the ones who came to their aid were the Raven Priest and the Bloodscarred Duchess.

Of course, besides these two people, there was another person on site, who was holding a bronze mirror and broadcasting the event live to them.

It's clear this guy isn't capable of participating in the fight; you can tell from the angle he's using the mirror. He's observing the battle from a very secluded spot, practically a spy. Frankly, the mirror's angle is terrible, but even so, the scene before the battle still has a powerful visual impact.

It was daytime there, but the sky was filled with black crows, which blocked out the sunlight like dark clouds. The inky vortexes swirled slowly in the sky. Even without a sound, Xia Shou could imagine the noisy cawing of the crows.

The Raven Priest's special ability is clearly described in the documents: controlling mutated crows to attack. These mutated crows possess various special abilities.

One of its abilities is "super speed," which allows crows to launch suicide attacks. After locking onto a target, they hit it based on distance, requiring a flight speed of 0.1 seconds for every 100 meters.

Furthermore, this accuracy involves cause and effect. That is to say, as long as the target is locked on, even if the target is on another planet at that moment, the crow will still hit the target on time according to the time calculated from the distance at the time of locking on.

In addition, when locked on, the abnormal level of the suicidal crow will increase by 3% for every 100 meters that the crow is between it and the target.

Furthermore, in theory, there is no upper limit to this level-up phenomenon, as long as the crow priests can afford the cost.

The price for upgrading the crow's level is the transformation of one's physical body into a bird-human.

Based on multiple tests, the Raven Sacrifice can increase the suicide attack of a single raven to LV10 or higher (in fact, there were no target tests, but the final result was calculated based on the initial increase).

However, in general, a single attack does not need to be raised to this level, because the abnormality level is just a rule that determines whether the ability is effective, and it is sufficient to just be enough.

However, looking at this ability from another perspective, it also confirms that the extraordinary effect of the Raven Priest's lightning-fast attack will almost certainly have an impact on the enemy.

The physical power of the speed is undeniable, but its extraordinary effect is that the memory of the pain of the hit target "breeds" new mutated crows in the body.

This ability relates to the second effect of the crow: when the crow touches the target, it can awaken the most painful memories in the target's life and 100% accurately replicate the emotions in the present moment.

The third ability, aided by the first two, is insignificant; it merely possesses extremely strong penetrating power, and when the crow dies, it annihilates nearby unmarked matter like antimatter.

The fourth ability is to use raven feathers to make the body ethereal, which is also the most important ability for the priest to no longer be a glass cannon.

After reading these basic introductions, Xia Shou knew just how powerful this quick-traveler was; as for the descriptions below, there was no need to read them anymore.

Xia Shou glanced at them and immediately realized how troublesome those anomalies that the other side had dealt with, as well as those enemies with resounding nicknames, had been at the time.

But these people, like the "uninjured," all died at the hands of the crow priests, and were forgotten by history as the crow priests became time travelers.

Compared to Xia Shou's composure, Jiang Wengao's inner excitement was beyond words.

For the first time, he felt how vast the world was.

This extraordinary world is not a finite space; it encompasses the present, past, and future, including time itself, resulting in the emergence of an infinite number of powerful beings.

Such a powerful figure has no name in the modern world, and has only become a piece of text in an archive that no one reads.
