The light from the teleportation array was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

In the center of the black vortex, the blurry figure became clearer and clearer, revealing a tall female silhouette wearing a form-fitting combat suit, her long hair dancing wildly in the spatial turbulence.

Her level was undetectable, but the oppressive aura she exuded made the air thick and sticky.

Su Wan's heart raced.

If it's not Ye Laosan, then who is this person?

With only 18% mana remaining, the ten skeletons were like paper in front of an enemy of this level.

Even though Su Wan has many skills, she cannot use them because she lacks sufficient mana.

We can't fight it head-on.

His brain completed a situation analysis in 0.3 seconds: the opponent's teleportation had seven seconds left to complete, during which time the space was unstable, making it impossible to attack or defend effectively. This was the only window of opportunity.

"Zero, take over all warehouse surveillance and automated defense systems," Su Wan ordered via mental link. "I'm going to create an 'accident'."

"Understood. Control has been achieved." Zero's voice remained calm. "I suggest using the 'Liquid Abyss Energy Tanks' stored in the warehouse, a total of twelve, located on the northwest corner shelf. But warn, if they explode, the entire warehouse will be razed to the ground."

"Then let it explode." Su Wan had already started moving. "Calculate the best detonation point and safe path."

"Calculating... Plan generated: Detonate energy tanks number seven, eight, and nine. The shockwave will mainly spread in a southeast direction."

You need to reach the "emergency shelter" in the northeast corner of the second basement level within three seconds. Its protective level is sufficient to withstand an impact. The route is marked.

A blue path appeared on Su Wan's tactical goggles.

He moved.

Instead of rushing towards the teleportation array, they ran deeper into the warehouse.

The ten skeletons did not follow, but instead dispersed, each picking up items dropped by the guards from the ground: scimitars, crossbows, and other weapons.

They are preparing for their next move.

Teleportation countdown: five seconds.

Su Wan rushed to the shelf in the northwest corner and placed her palm on the metal can.

The power of the undead is injected into the jar, beginning to destroy its internal stable structure.

Liquid abyssal energy is a highly compressed form of shadow element, which is usually stabilized by the sealing runes on the surface of the container.

Once the rune is destroyed, the energy will change from liquid to gas within 0.1 seconds, and then...

boom!

Teleportation countdown: three seconds.

Su Wan turned and ran, rushing towards the depths of the basement following the path marked with zero. Behind him, dense cracks appeared on the surface of the seventh tank, from which dark purple light seeped out.

The female executive in the teleportation array seemed to sense the danger. She tried to speed up the teleportation process, but the laws of space forbade it—forcibly accelerating could result in her body being torn apart.

Countdown: Two seconds.

The eighth and ninth jars were also swept by Su Wan's necromantic power, and the sealing runes collapsed at the same time.

Three canisters of liquid abyssal energy, totaling over five thousand standard units of shadow element, are about to erupt simultaneously.

Countdown: One second.

Su Wan rushed into the emergency shelter, and the heavy alloy door slammed shut behind her.

The door immediately lit up with a dense array of defensive runes, enough to withstand magical attacks from levels below 50.

At the same moment—

The female executive in the teleportation array has fully appeared.

She looked to be in her late twenties, with a cold and beautiful face and a thin, dark red demonic mark at the corner of her eye, a sign of the abyss's blessing.

She was dressed in a black, tight-fitting suit of armor, with two strangely shaped daggers hanging at her waist, their blades gleaming with a ghostly blue light in the darkness.

Her level is... 48.

The Eighth Executive Officer, "Shadow".

She opened her eyes, and the power of the abyss flowed within them. Instantly, she understood the current situation: it was a trap.

Then she saw the three glowing energy canisters.

Her pupils contracted sharply.

"Damn it—"

An explosion occurred.

The teleportation array was torn apart, and the spatial structure collapsed.

At 0.1 seconds before the explosion, the ten skeletons simultaneously threw their objects in different directions: a scimitar slashed at a ventilation duct, a crossbow shot at a load-bearing column, and a rock crashed into a surveillance camera.

These attacks are insignificant in themselves, but in the instant of the energy burst, they create tiny disturbances.

The most terrifying aspect of energy storms is their instability; any disturbance can trigger a chain reaction.

The energy, which should have spread evenly, began to twist and rotate due to the interference of those "pebbles," forming more than a dozen small energy vortexes.

The Shadow Executor's expression changed drastically.

She reacted almost instinctively, crossing her daggers in front of her chest, unleashing shadow power to form a spherical shield.

At the same time, her figure began to blur, attempting to dodge the impact by weaving through shadows.

But she underestimated the "human" nature of the explosion.

An energy vortex formed right behind her, pushing her toward the center of the explosion.

Another vortex struck her shield from the side, interrupting her ethereal transformation.

"Aaaaaah—!"

The screams were drowned out by the energy storm.

The entire warehouse was shaking violently, and the ceiling began to collapse.

However, due to the existence of the refuge room, most of the impact force was directed to the ground and the outside of the walls, preventing wider damage, which was also within the calculation of zero.

Ten seconds later, the energy storm began to dissipate.

The dark purple light gradually dimmed, revealing a chaotic battlefield.

A huge crater, 15 meters in diameter and 3 meters deep, appeared on the warehouse floor. The original teleportation array was gone, and everything within a 10-meter radius was completely erased.

The walls and ceiling were riddled with cracks, but miraculously they did not collapse completely, and the critical load-bearing structure was preserved.

At the edge of the giant pit, a charred figure was struggling to get up.

The Shadow Executor is still alive, but in extremely poor condition.

Her armor was over 70% damaged, and her exposed skin was covered with burns and traces of energy erosion.

His left arm was twisted unnaturally, clearly indicating a fracture.

The demonic markings on his face were dull and lifeless, and black blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth.

The most serious issue is her level, which plummeted from level 48 to level 41 and is still slowly declining.

That was the backlash effect of the Abyss Blessing being forcibly stripped away.

She stood up unsteadily, her eyes filled with shock, anger, and murderous intent.

"Who...who did this?!"

Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant; her lungs and vocal cords were injured.

The door to the refuge room slowly opened.

Su Wan walked out from inside, her robes spotless, not even a speck of dust on them.

He held Hades' staff in his hand, and behind him... were only three skeletons.

In the explosion just now, seven of the ten skeletons were completely destroyed, and the remaining three were badly injured.

But the expression on his face was frighteningly calm.

"Nice to meet you, Executive Officer." Su Wan bowed slightly, her movements as elegant as if she were attending a banquet. "Welcome to Earth. Although your welcoming ceremony might be a little... enthusiastic."
