This villain is too popular.

Chapter 401: Walking Disaster

Are you afraid of being alone?

The raccoon keeper's voice lowered, his round paws unconsciously rubbing the golden bell on his chest.

It tilted its head to examine the Heavenly Dao, its amber pupils swirling with complex emotions.

This answer shattered its preconceived notion of the 'strong,' yet it was so logical that it couldn't refute it.

After a full five seconds of silence, the raccoon finally spoke again, but its originally childish voice now carried a more formal tone.

“Heavenly Dao Master of Fate, in fact, according to the normal assessment process, you and Caroline have already passed the test.”

"Because what this assessment is testing is never your survival skills, but whether you can remain calm and search for the only chance of survival when facing danger."

"Of course, all of this is based on the premise that you yourselves possess the basic abilities to become explorers."

"And you and Caroline undoubtedly perfectly meet these conditions, but..."

Halfway through his sentence, the raccoon keeper's round face slowly concealed all his emotions, and his amber pupils sharpened.

Immediately afterwards, the black mist around it suddenly began to stir, like an awakened tide, constantly gathering and swirling around it.
"Someone approached me specifically before you took the test, asking me to test your abilities."

Upon hearing this, before Tiandao could speak, Caroline coldly asked, "Who?"

She took half a step forward, blocking Tiandao's side and front. A pale green defensive light screen popped up on her wristwatch terminal, and her emerald green pupils were full of vigilance.

Looking at Caroline, whose attitude had clearly changed, the raccoon keeper shook his head and did not give a direct answer.

"I'm sorry, I can't say, because that's against the 'rules'."

"However, you don't need to worry too much about this test, because the results, whether they are good or bad, will not affect your assessment."

As they spoke, the raccoon keeper turned to look at Tiandao.

"Of course, the decision of whether or not to take this little test is up to you; you can refuse."

To this, Tiandao, unusually, revealed a look of excitement.

"interesting."

He dropped his previous nonchalance, raised his hand and placed it on Caroline's shoulder, gently pushing her behind him.

"Don't worry, it's just a fun little game."

Upon hearing this, Caroline remained silent for a moment before obediently retreating to a distance.

At the same time, the assessment scene, which was originally being broadcast live, was completely interrupted. Only Tiandao and others, as well as the dimensional viewers on the 13th station, were able to know what was about to happen here.

After that, an invisible vector force field unfolded around the Heavenly Dao.

Invisible light patterns spread out from beneath his feet, covering the entire square like ripples on water. They quickly collided with the black mist surrounding the raccoon management staff in mid-air, producing a crackling sound.

The clear dividing line between light and darkness splits the plaza in two, creating an eerie standoff: one side is cold black mist, and the other is warm star energy.

Seeing this, the raccoon's amber eyes flashed with excitement, realizing the will of Heaven.

"It seems you've made your choice."

boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist surrounding the raccoon keeper suddenly became violent.

Like countless twisted black snakes, they coalesced in mid-air into enormous claw shadows and barbed fangs.

At the same time, the temperature in the square plummeted to freezing point, and fine white frost even condensed on Caroline's eyelashes. She stared intently at the attack patterns formed by the black mist, and warnings kept popping up on her terminal.

[Warning! Stellar energy fluctuations detected! Cataclysmic energy reaction detected!] This is the true strength of the Eternal Nightmare Administrator, far surpassing its previous strength against Chen Kong and the others.

After all, at that time it was just 'playing' and wasn't taking it seriously at all.

Even at a distance of over a hundred meters, Caroline's defensive light barrier still showed subtle cracks when faced with this terrifying black mist, a sign that her energy was being devoured by the black mist.

In contrast, the Heavenly Dao slightly narrowed its eyes.

He could clearly sense that the black mist controlled by the raccoon keeper contained some kind of 'emotional pollution' power.

Even the most resolute Star Envoys will fall into their own illusion of fear once they are touched by the black mist, which is quite troublesome.

At the same time, Tiandao was also very clear about the essence of this test: someone wanted to confirm whether he really had the strength to match or even defeat a 'normal natural disaster level'.

Even though he had already accomplished something similar at the recent concert at the sea, it was the same.

As for this person, he's probably some 'old guy' who hasn't left the house much in decades.

"The Heavenly Dao, its black mist can devour stellar energy and pollute a part of the magical structure."

Caroline's voice came from behind her. The terminal connected to the vector force field of the Heavenly Dao and she told it some of the analyzed information about the raccoon administrator.

However, Caroline was well aware of her responsibilities and the 'pride' of the Heavenly Dao, so she asked, "Do you need me to analyze this further?"

Caroline had expected Tiandao's answer.

"Need not."

The voice of Heaven was soft, yet it carried absolute confidence.

Although the raccoon manager is quite powerful, these methods alone are not enough to truly threaten him.

The best way to deal with this kind of 'emotional' approach is undoubtedly to break it down.

Without resorting to overly fancy methods, Heaven raised its hand.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful vector force field began to converge at the fingertips of the Heavenly Dao.

Star Energy Technique - Black Azure.

Seemingly sensing the Heavenly Dao's intentions, the black mist surrounding the raccoon keeper transformed into a giant claw with a strange roar, fiercely slamming towards the Heavenly Dao.

The claw-like shadows whipped up pebbles from the ground, and the black mist tore even the air itself apart.

Just as the black claw was about to land on Tiandao, the black vector light sphere that had been condensed at Tiandao's fingertip was released!

The black vector light sphere collided with the giant claw formed by the black mist, but the expected earth-shattering explosion did not occur. Instead, there was only a soft 'poof' sound, and the giant claw was instantly pierced by the vector light sphere like a punctured balloon, turning into countless black light spots and disappearing into the square.

He watched as his attack was easily neutralized by the Heavenly Dao.

The raccoon keeper wasn't too surprised, after all, it was just a simple test.

The result of this test was quite satisfactory.

Looking at the equally relaxed Tiandao not far away, the raccoon administrator smiled and said, "Tiandao Siming, you are indeed as the Grand Master said, very interesting."

In response, Tiandao suddenly joked, "Didn't you just say you couldn't reveal who ordered you?"

The raccoon manager said nonchalantly, "I didn't reveal anything. You just guessed it yourself, didn't you?"
