Why is my job panel in an anime style?

Chapter 258 No Cowboys

After briefly glancing at the information about the [Traveler] talent refresh, Li Ang turned his attention back to Ize.

Unlike previous summaries of major events, the main universe this time didn't even bother with a formality; it was practically as if it were just a formality.

However, based on the major event title "The Madman's End," Li Ang speculates that Ize's current condition is probably not good, and his advancement to the seventh level is likely to have failed.

'But it doesn't look like a failure at all.'

Hearing the maniacal laughter coming from beside him, Li Ang couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Inside the crack, Ize felt the terrifying power within his body, stemming from his innate talent, and his entire body began to tremble with excitement.

"Seventh energy level. Hahaha! Seventh energy level!"

[Ultimate Life Form - Stitched-together Chimera: Your strength will slightly increase for each biological trait you possess.]

This was the new talent that emerged after he merged with Manfred, and it has been his reliance for so many years.

Unfortunately, the eighth-level job advancement ceremony failed. Otherwise, Ize felt that he could have become one of the best among the eighth-level beings at the moment of advancement, thanks to this talent.

Thinking of this, the look of wild joy in Yize's eyes quickly turned into resentment.

He'll make sure that stinking rat hiding in the shadows dies without a burial place!

The sudden chill made Li Ang pause, and he knew in his heart that it was most likely that Yize was "missing" him again.

Although the Great Luo Insight and the main universe allowed him to successfully evade the search of the Ninth Level, it was different with Ize. The other party already had a grudge against him, so even if they didn't know that he had interfered with the job change ceremony, they would most likely take their anger out on him.

Realizing this, Li Ang didn't say much, he just kept speeding up.

Just then, a shrill scream suddenly rang out.

Li Ang turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw the creature in the shadow behind Yi Ze constantly gnawing and tearing at him.

"?"

At this moment, he finally understood why this major event was called "The End of the Madman".

The sudden backlash caused Ize's aura to weaken continuously, making him look like he was about to fall back to the sixth energy level.

He could accept failing to advance to the eighth energy level, but he never expected that he would even fail to advance to the seventh energy level.

But soon, the tattooed bald man realized why this was happening.

His face first showed an extremely absurd expression, then he couldn't help but shout out a name:
"Ize!!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ang was taken aback.

The one in the crack... isn't that Ize? Who is he calling?
Just as Li Ang was wondering about this, a name suddenly flashed through his mind.

Manfred.

Recalling how the centipede had addressed "Ize" not long ago, a sense of enlightenment gradually rose in his mind.

In the battle between Eze and Manfred, the latter probably won. It's just a mystery why this great designer belonging to [Immortal Evolution] would choose to continue using the identity of "Eze".

At that moment, a faint sigh echoed from within the crack.

"Wow, so many years have passed already?"

As they were speaking, the enormous phantom that had been gnawing at Manfred suddenly stopped and transformed into a human figure that looked remarkably similar to Manfred. The only obvious difference between the two was that the human figure had a head of very flowing long hair.

He looked at the bald man in front of him, whose eyes were bloodshot, and a look on his face was hard to tell whether it was mockery or emotion. He said softly, "What a roundabout way it has been."

"To be honest, before today I thought the backup plan had failed."

"fine."

Fortunately, you silly dog ​​didn't know who you offended and got tricked at the crucial moment of job change, causing your condition to go wrong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to regain consciousness.

Of course, Izzy wouldn't tell Manfred these things.

For sixth-level professionals, death is no longer such a threat, and sit-ups are a perfectly normal thing.

The same applies to Ize, and the [Hundred Aspects Refinement] was his backup plan.

The only thing he hadn't expected was that Manfred, as the great designer of [Immortal Evolution], actually had a stronger alchemical talent than him.

He was just a hair's breadth away from never being able to return to this world.

Fortunately, with the help of a kind person, this [Hundred Avatars]—no, after so many years of research by Manfred, it can even be described as [Myriad Avatars].

The [All-Encompassing Avatar] was severed from its connection with Manfred and was even divided into individual entities.

Only after fulfilling these two conditions, which would be impossible under normal circumstances, was he able to complete the comeback through a second move.

If Ize hadn't been absolutely certain that this wasn't the work of Lord [Truth] and Lord [Perfection], he would have thought that these two were preparing to give him another chance.

He had never seen such an ability in his previous career.

'That's a terrifying tactic; luckily, I'm the one who benefited.'

Thinking of this, Ize couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, deciding to give the other party a small reward after finding out who had secretly made the move.

In fact, he already had some guesses in his mind, but he needed some evidence to confirm them.

"Ize! You bastard!"

Seeing his arch-rival's performance, Manfred nearly vomited blood.

More importantly, he lost control of the [Hundred Avatars].

This is the wealth he's painstakingly accumulated over the years, and now it's all gone to someone else's benefit. What's the difference between this and being openly NTR'd?!

Thinking of this, Manfred's vision went black, and he almost fainted.

Fortunately, the willpower of a sixth-level powerhouse is beyond that of ordinary people, and he actually managed to pull through.

Manfred took a deep breath to control his emotions, and then said with some resentment, "Ize, I am willing to become your servant."

A wise man knows when to yield; if he can overcome this hurdle, he doesn't mind bowing his head.

Seemingly worried that the person before him would not agree, he even added, "No one in this world knows your alchemy better than I do."

Upon hearing this, Ize smiled but did not respond. Instead, he looked at the figure in black robes in the void and said, "Long time no see, Lord Hewitt."

Hewitt is the name of the seventh-level professional of the [Taiyi Miracle].

He looked at the long-haired man with a slight smile in the crack, and his tone showed a rare fluctuation: "I never thought we would meet again, Ize."

Hewitt initially didn't understand why Lord Truth was involved in this matter, but after seeing the scene just now, he understood.

There is no doubt that Ize's return was unexpected, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a miracle.

Moreover, after this battle, the opponent's alchemy skills will likely improve significantly, and they might even have a chance to glimpse the seventh energy level.

Although the combat power that a seventh-level alchemist can provide is nothing to the [Taiyi Miracle], the truth it carries is priceless.

Every piece of truth that can fill the void is what the "Miracle of Taiyi" needs.

'I see. As expected of Lord [Truth].'

Hewitt believed he had guessed the truth, and a look of understanding flashed across his face hidden beneath his hood. Of course, this seventh-tier alchemist could still vaguely sense that something was amiss.

For example, why didn't Lord Truth take action to expose the person behind it all? And why didn't he show his face at all from beginning to end?

But Lord Truth must have his reasons for doing this, so it's best not to speculate too much.

Because things developed in a way that exceeded everyone's expectations, Afra and Gavin stopped fighting early on.

The two frowned as they looked at the two figures in the crack, unable to determine for a moment whether the target was acting.

Seemingly sensing their suspicion, Ize spoke up, "My lords, there's no need for this. As compensation, I'm willing to hand over all my past research data to you, just asking that the Federation spare my life."

Upon hearing Izzy's words, Afra and Gavin exchanged a glance, and then the little devil councilor stepped forward and said in a very cold tone, "Who knows if you're acting or not."

However, despite saying that, she didn't actually do anything about it.

Emotionally, Afra wanted to tear the other person to pieces, but reason told her it was best not to.

Upon hearing this, Ize sighed and then stated the conditions he had already prepared: "Since you two are worried that I am putting on an act, then from today onwards I will voluntarily accept the supervision of the Federation, even if a contract is required."

The room fell silent immediately after he said that.

Manfred stared at the long-haired man beside him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

What's the difference between this and selling yourself?
For Ize, this life was a gift from heaven. Even if he signed a contract to be under the Federation's care, it was still better than dying.

Besides, as an alchemist, research doesn't matter where he is; he also needs a quiet place to digest the findings of Manfred's research over the years.

In terms of character, Izawa is far superior to Manfred.

Faced with his latest terms, Afra and Gavin fell into deep thought.

It must be said that agreeing at this point was the best option.

After all, the deed is done, and even if they kill the other party, they can't turn the tide. They might as well take the opportunity to make up for their losses.

Can.
Such a huge number of casualties is not a topic that can be glossed over; they are not as heartless as Speaker Siné.

Just as Afra and Gavin were hesitating about whether to refuse, Izzy suddenly attacked Manfred.

Caught off guard, the bald man was instantly seriously injured.

His eyes widened, and blood gushed from his mouth: "Ize?!"

Manfred couldn't understand why the other party was still determined to kill him when he had already given in.

Fortunately, Ize quickly answered his question.

Looking at his old adversary who was still putting up a stubborn resistance, he said softly in a voice devoid of emotion, "Your loyalty is worthless to me, after all..."

"You know, I know everything."

!! ?
Manfred stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Doesn't this mean that he has worked so hard for so many years, only to have it all go to the other party in the end? This is even harder for him to accept than having his [Hundred Avatars] taken away.

What a joke! ?

Just as the bald man was about to say something, he was swallowed whole by Ize.

"belch"

After doing all that, Yize couldn't help but burp, then rubbed his stomach.

Having been trapped for so many years, how could he not harbor any resentment? He's just collecting some interest now.

Moreover, he had tried to reconcile back then, but the other party did not hold back.

At this moment, Yi Ze's mind was completely clear, and he felt that most of the pent-up frustration in his heart had dissipated: "If you two lords are still not satisfied, then I can perform like this every day, or you two lords would like to see a scene like being slowly sliced ​​to death?"

"Of course, if you two are worried that I am acting, then Lord Hewitt can testify for me."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Hewitt and the seventh-level professional [Immortal Evolution] who were quietly watching him from afar: "The conditions that Manfred gave earlier are still valid. I will hand over the data to you two later."

Upon hearing this, the seventh-level professional of [Immortal Evolution] first snorted coldly, and then disappeared without a trace.

Hewitt shook his head slightly, then testified, "Izer and Manfred are no longer connected, so you two can rest assured."

"I have offended you in many ways today, so I will take my leave now."

After leaving those two sentences, he too disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Afra and Gavin understood that what Ize said must be true, otherwise the two people wouldn't have reacted this way.

After a brief silence, the female senator spoke coldly, "I agree to your request, but with one condition: from today onwards, everything you own belongs to the Federation."

".Can."

Having too many lice makes one less itchy. Ize was already willing to sign a slave contract, so one more harsh requirement wouldn't matter. Therefore, he agreed without much thought.

At this moment, Ize was enjoying his long-awaited freedom, but he couldn't help but think of Li Ang.

'I can't afford to offend AIO Logistics, and there's a high probability it will.'

'Fine, consider it compensation, and it'll also be a good opportunity to test the waters.'

Thinking this, the alchemist immediately extended a slender spider silk from his fingertip and reached into the void.

the other side.

Li Ang naturally noticed that the four seventh-level professionals who had been fighting fiercely just moments before had stopped fighting in perfect unison.

After glancing at the motionless crack behind him, he couldn't help but think to himself, 'Is it all over?'

It's over now. He no longer has to worry about becoming an unlucky guy killed by the aftershocks of a battle between powerful beings. All he needs to do now is get rid of the swarm of insects.

Just then, a faint murmur suddenly rang in Li Ang's ear.

"Thank you."

!! ?
Li Ang instantly looked around warily.

However, even with the combined power of the Great Luo Observation and the Reincarnation Eye, he only managed to find a barely perceptible white spider silk.

"Ize? When did you leave this place?"

Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, unsure whether the other party had noticed anything.

But soon, he casually ripped off the spider silk.

However, the next moment, a piece of information suddenly tried to crawl into his mind along the spider web.

Faced with this unfamiliar information, Li Ang cautiously probed, but then frowned.

It contains a lot of information, but the name is very short.

Its name is...
