I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 117 The Federation's Strongest Player

at the same time.

In the annex behind the Evolution Bank building, Di Yong, who was listening to his subordinates' report, suddenly changed his expression.

"Director, what's wrong?"

The subordinate special agent was very good at reading people's expressions. When he saw a change in Di Yong's expression, he immediately stopped reporting on the "progress of the investigation into Cao Yu's whereabouts".

Di Yong – Director of the Special Affairs Bureau of Sishan.

He also serves as the guardian of the Evolution Bank's Sishan branch.

As a B-level immortal player, Di Yong's perception was extremely sharp... He noticed the abnormal mental energy fluctuations in the branch building, and at the same time sensed that the warning mechanism he left in the lobby had been triggered.

In the next instant, his spiritual power swept out, instantly grasping the entire situation inside the branch building and accurately locking onto the people who came to cause trouble.

He saw someone robbing a bank... Huh? Robbing Evolution Bank? Are you kidding me?

A mixture of bewilderment and surprise appeared in Di Yong's eyes.

Soon, his emotion turned into anger.

"Cao Yu...!? What audacity!!"

Before Di Yong could move, his primordial spirit power, spanning hundreds of meters and ignoring the obstruction of buildings, suppressed him instantly.

Although they failed to subdue Cao Yu and Yang Chan, they did subdue the player clerks, keeping them in place.

He realized Cao Yu's purpose, and while he was amazed by the other party's audacity, he also thought of a way to deal with it.

He wanted to knock all the player tellers unconscious to prevent the branch from suffering financial losses.

He thought it and he did it, but unfortunately he did not get the expected result. When his primordial spirit power was displayed in the hall, it underwent some strange and inexplicable change and failed to play its due role.

'What the hell...!?'

Di Yong was horrified.

However, being a B-level player, he quickly calmed down, took out a paper cup-shaped communication device, and spoke at a rapid pace:

"Cao Yu is at the Evolution Bank! Come quickly!"

After saying that, his figure disappeared from the spot and flew into the sky, hindering Cao Yu's robbery from a distance.

He didn't approach rashly... A person's name is like a tree's shadow. Cao Yu had just killed Zhang Lichuan, who was in the strongest tier, yesterday as a D-level player. This was no longer a question of whether he had strong potential or not.

Cao Yu is clearly a freak!

Faced with this eerie creature, he dared not engage in close combat casually.

Although deep down he didn't want to disobey the death orders from the three major families, he also didn't want to risk his life, so he could only take a compromise.

Suddenly, Di Yong's primordial spirit power turned icy cold—the attribute cultivation technique he had been practicing began to take effect, and the freezing power spread out, freezing the moisture in the air. The aftershocks alone created a snowstorm that covered the nearby streets in a very short time.

Everyone under this celestial phenomenon became stiff, as if they had been given a "movement slowdown" debuff.

If the aftermath is already this severe, then the situation is naturally even more serious for Cao Yu and Yang Chan, who are the main targets of the attack.

So serious that... it didn't affect us at all.

Even the player clerks were not affected by this freezing power.

Di Yong frowned.

His power has failed again!

He could understand why it had no effect on Cao Yu and Yang Chan, since the two were a formidable duo with extraordinary superpowers.

But the teller is also immune, and it's the second time he's immune to his ability... which doesn't make much sense.

'How did Cao Yu, that freak, manage to do that...!?'

Di Yong's fear intensified considerably, but his attack did not slow down.

He increased the power of his spiritual attack, instantly freezing the entire branch building.

Even the air, under his freezing power, defied the laws of physics and turned into solid ice.

He wants to make the entire building solid!
With him watching over them, the frozen people will not be in mortal danger; at most, they will suffer some frostbite.

However, just as the freezing power was about to form a thick layer of ice to envelop all the player tellers... another accident occurred!
His power failed for the third time!

Although the building was frozen solid, the lobby area remained uncovered by ice.

Di Yong refused to believe in evil and began to use his primordial spirit power to display various methods—a proliferation of illusions and deceptions, powerful physical propulsion, and surging energy engulfment... In the end, he even tried to lift the entire building and move it, excluding only the small area where Cao Yu and Yang Chan were standing.

Finally, he succeeded!
Although Cao Yu robbed many of the tellers of their evolution points, he managed to move a small number of the tellers, along with the building, into mid-air.

Seeing this, Di Yong began to lift the building away.

He didn't know what kind of strange power Cao Yu was using that could render his abilities ineffective. Fortunately... this power must have consumed a great deal of energy and couldn't be used indefinitely, so Cao Yu didn't stop his strategy this time.

At this moment, he saw Cao Yu, who had been left behind, suddenly take Yang Chan and fly up again, heading back towards the branch building that had been moved.

Its flight path was... towards the vault of the branch building!

The vault contains quite a few items!

"Damn it..." Di Yong roared, "Daughter of the Sea!"

He activated the prop, summoning a small lake several hundred meters in diameter that floated in mid-air, instantly enveloping Cao Yu and Yang Chan.

Then, his primordial spirit power, imbued with freezing properties, swept across the lake, freezing it instantly and forming a giant ice ball.

Looking up from the city, the hockey puck seemed to obscure the moon, alarming all the nearby residents. Panic quickly spread to several blocks and then throughout the entire Qingshan District.

however……

No use.

The enormous ice ball provided virtually no resistance, much like air.

Di Yong had unleashed a barrage of attacks—including telekinesis, freezing, frost, illusion, and mental suppression—on Cao Yu and Yang Chan, but none of them could stop their flight.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this monster...!?"

A deep sense of fear welled up in Di Yong's heart.

He's never encountered this situation even when running B-rank dungeons!

Although the monsters in the B-level dungeons are also very strong, at least they allow him to engage in combat and interaction, unlike now, which makes him feel deeply powerless.

Just when he was at his wit's end, a ray of light suddenly appeared on the horizon, and in a flash, it crossed most of the Qingshan District and landed inside the district building that was suspended in the air.

The light kept flashing.

The props stored in the vault were put away, and the staff in the district building were moved to a distant location.

Di Yong quickly realized what was happening, his eyes lit up with joy, and he felt a sense of relief.

He Lun is here!

He Lun moved like a beam of light, and in just a few seconds, he had disposed of all the valuable items inside the district building.

Seeing this, Di Yong quickly moved the building back to its original position.

When Cao Yu and Yang Chan turned in the air and returned to the front of the building, the building... was just a building.

All the assets inside had been transferred, rendering them worthless. At this very moment, Cao Yu was holding Yang Chan's hand, using her as a weapon, and imbuing her with the "Immortal-Slaying Curse"—he was sharing his defense.

Although Yang Chan's defense was also formidable, constantly resisting attacks from B-level players consumed a great deal of energy, making it less convenient than his "Immortal Slaying Curse."

Both of them turned their gazes forward at the same time—the light and shadow in front of the branch building flickered and coalesced into a tall male figure, suspended in mid-air.

The man had a neat short haircut and a muscular build. His cold face was calm, and his eyes were indifferent.

Cao Yu and Yang Chan had both seen each other's photos and recognized each other's identities at a glance.

The man is none other than He Lun, the holder of number 77, "Harmony with the World," and the strongest player in the Federation.

"Transforming into light and moving about... So 'mingling with the world' is the literal meaning."

Cao Yu looked at He Lun and said with emotion:

"You arrived in a flash... In terms of speed, I would call you the strongest in the Federation."

The opponent is too fast.

In such a short time, he didn't even have time to activate the "Life-Slaying Curse".

Fortunately, he reaped great rewards this time, managing to grab nearly 50 evolution points in just a short time.

50... barely enough.

His trip can be considered to have come to a satisfactory conclusion.

However, Cao Yu did not run away immediately.

He got the money, but his notoriety hasn't spread far enough yet.

Upon hearing Cao Yu's words, He Lun did not immediately respond. Instead, he took out a cool camera prop from his storage space.

He threw the camera out, letting it float in mid-air, and took pictures of the surrounding area—focusing the shots on Cao Yu.

As its appearance suggests, this prop is used for taking pictures and can transmit the pictures as electrical signals.

Upon receiving the corresponding signal, the federal government immediately translated it and began a wide-ranging live broadcast.

This is an order from the three major families.

The three major families believed that He Lun was strong enough to deal with Cao Yu, so they decided to broadcast the incident live to intimidate the entire Federation's player community—especially the criminal player community.

Players who dare to openly challenge the authority of the Federation must not die quietly; their deaths must serve as a warning to others.

It must be said that Cao Yu's behavior instilled fear in many people.

The three major families are not the only ones paying close attention to this matter.

All the powerful and wealthy were terrified by such unbridled behavior.

They all feared that this would become a signal, inducing a large number of imitators to emerge.

Therefore, this kind of behavior must be cracked down on with the strongest force!
This is the first time since the advent of Evolution Games that an official livestream has been broadcast to crack down on criminal players.

A large number of players flooded into the live stream like sharks smelling blood.

When they saw the two people confronting each other in the video, they all looked surprised.

"That's...Cao Yu!?"

"That's He Lun!"

"They actually clashed? Cao Yu got arrested?"

"His expression doesn't look like he's been caught; he's clearly not flustered at all!"

"What do you mean? He can beat He Lun? Is he trying to defy the heavens?!"

"I admit he has more potential than He Lun! But isn't he only a D-level player? Can someone tell me, is he crazy?"

……

Cao Yu was unaware that discussions about him and He Lun had spread like wildfire online.

When he saw Holon throw out a camera prop, he guessed the other party's purpose, as well as the Federation's purpose.

However, he did not stop it.

This behavior not only helps him spread his bad reputation, but also helps him gain a wave of reputation achievement points.

It was all good for him, with no downsides.

For a time, he developed a favorable impression of all three major families.

Of course, strategically, he still had to despise the enemy.

Cao Yu looked at He Lun and grinned:
"So you and your three powerful families think you can get me this time? Ha... You've really lost your mind. You think I wouldn't have anticipated this if I dared to come to the Evolution Bank?"

"Your attitude is very relaxed, which is certainly not the behavior of someone facing a crisis," He Lun said. "Do you think you can escape from me? Or... do you think you can defeat me?"

Is it difficult to defeat you?

Cao Yu switched to villainous mockery mode, speaking in a boastful tone:

"You've only been a player for a while longer than me. If it weren't for the people from the Rebellion Society causing trouble and exposing my identity prematurely, if I had another week, all those so-called strongest teams, the strongest in the Federation, and the three great families would be nothing but trash."

"Saying all this is pointless; it doesn't change the fact that you're a D-level player. I think your superpower ranking is even more exaggerated than the rumors suggest, right? Is it in the top 40? Or the top 30?"

He Lun said calmly:
"Your player potential is indeed exceptional, the best in the Federation. However... the gap in evolutionary level cannot be bridged by superpowers. How long can your ability last? Today, you cannot escape."

“He Lun, actually I have no grudge against you,” Cao Yu said with a smile. “On the contrary, I think you’re quite pitiful. You’re clearly a superhuman player with a bright future, yet you’re being restrained and controlled by these three parasites of the Federation, the three major families…”

Before he could finish speaking, his vision was obscured by light.

This light is extremely destructive, containing terrifying energy. It not only tears through the air in an instant, attacking at the speed of light so that people cannot react, but also tears apart and disintegrates all the molecules of matter it touches into atoms.

If He Lun hadn't controlled his power, this single strike would have split Qingshan District in two.

Unfortunately... he was facing Cao Yu.

Unless the "attack depth" is sufficient, no matter how much energy is used, it is impossible to break the "Immortal Slaying Curse".

Unless the energy is so vast that it can warp spacetime and interfere with space to launch an attack.

Clearly, Holon cannot do that.

"I haven't even finished speaking, and you're already getting impatient?" Cao Yu laughed. "You really are 'eager to protect your master,' aren't you? Has the control the three major families have over you reached this level?"

As he spoke, Holon continued his attack.

Cao Yu attempted to use the "Life-Slaying Curse" to restrict the opponent, but found that the cost was terrifying.

To sever He Lun's causal link and seal his future would come at a high price—he would have to expend at least half of his mental energy to seal him for less than two seconds.

Not only that.

He conjured a future and unleashed three spells simultaneously to destroy it—the time consumed in just this one step was enough for Horen to attack him several times over.

Seeing this, Cao Yu abandoned his idea of ​​killing the other party's future.

It has to be said that the Federation's strongest force is indeed something... Suddenly, he sensed a sense of crisis.
