You call me a calamity? But I am Hyper Zetton!

The woman and the little girl were still blocked by the seven-colored light curtain until Lin Zhendong led them out of the abandoned factory, at which point Wu Bai removed the barrier.

Before his tear-streaked wife could speak, Lin Zhendong grabbed her shoulder and said quickly, "Wife, don't speak, listen to me."

"This matter has blown up today, but I will take responsibility for my own actions."

"I killed all of these people; it has nothing to do with you."

"There's 200,000 yuan on the table at home that I just brought back. Take the money and leave here immediately with Tangtang. The farther you go, the better."

Without giving the woman a chance to speak, Lin Zhendong squatted down with red eyes.

He pulled his daughter, who was also crying, into his arms.

"Tangtang, after Daddy's gone, you must listen to Mommy, okay?"

"Daddy, where are you going? Waaah... When are you coming back?" Tangtang cried so hard she couldn't breathe.

Lin Zhendong fought back tears and reached out to wipe his daughter's face: "Daddy is going to a very far place to be a great hero, and it may be a very long time before I come back, so... you must be good."

"Mmm... I'll be good..."

Watching his wife cry as she picked up their daughter and left, Lin Zhendong stood there motionless for a long time.

"A necessary step in the journey of growth... separation by life and death. Congratulations, you've passed it." Wu Bai's voice was full of admiration.

Lin Zhendong raised his hand and forcefully wiped away the tears and blood from his face.

When he opened his eyes again.

The previous cowardice and hesitation were gone from his eyes, leaving only coldness.

"Even though you're a devil... I still want to thank you for saving them for me."

Lin Zhendong's voice was hoarse: "Can you give me even greater power?"

He turned around and looked at the tallest building in the city center: "I'm going to wipe out the mastermind behind this."

"As you wish." Wu Bai's voice was tinged with laughter.

A blinding, seven-colored light appeared before him.

The light rapidly contracted, solidified, and finally transformed into a short sword that was entirely black.

It floats quietly in mid-air, waiting for its owner to hold it.

"This is the 'Hyper Flash Sword.' Draw it, and you will permanently gain the ability to transform into me."

Lin Zhendong raised his still trembling hand, his fingertips touching the surface of the sword hilt. He gripped it tightly, and with his other hand he gripped the scabbard.

Without any hesitation, he took a deep breath, exerted force with both arms, and pulled outwards sharply.

"Cheddar".

Just as the sword was drawn from its sheath, Lin Zhendong was at the center.

A beam of seven-colored light, tens of meters in diameter, shot straight into the sky, dyeing the entire city sky with a dazzling seven colors.

In the city, countless people looked up in astonishment at the beam of light that pierced through the heavens and earth.

As the light faded, a massive black figure stood in the center of the city.

Lin Zhendong looked at his hands...

...Those were no longer human hands, but two huge, sharp, yellow-black pincers.

He looked down, and the once towering buildings now seemed like unopened boxes of building blocks beneath his feet, while the cars on the road appeared as tiny as ants.

"Permanent ownership?" Lin Zhendong asked in his mind. "Why are you helping me?"

Wu Bai shook his head: "Let me correct you, I'm not helping you, we belong to a community of shared interests."

"This planet will suffer from countless invaders in the future."

"If you want to protect your family, you have to fight."

"But the enemy will only get stronger, so you must get stronger too."

"The only way you can become stronger is to 'devour' all the enemies you kill."

"Remember, half of the energy you absorb will automatically be transferred to me, while the other half will remain in your body to strengthen your physique."

"If you want to protect your family, then kill and devour."

"This is your only asset in dealing with powerful enemies in the universe in the future."

Actually, Wu Bai initially just wanted to borrow a body.

But what the level four monster said made him change his mind.

He needs to find a long-term human host on this planet.

For no other reason than the endless stream of invaders... those are walking energy points.

As for why Lin Zhendong was chosen?

First, he has a family he must protect, which is the core driving force that propels him to continuously devour his enemies.

Secondly, because the other party is an honest person.

Experience has shown that the more honest a person is, the more ruthless and decisive they tend to be once their mindset changes, compared to the wicked.

Moreover, this kind of person is unlikely to become someone who doesn't eat beef.

"I see."

Hyper Zetton, transformed from Lin Zhendong, nodded.

Then, he bent his knees slightly and suddenly soared into the sky, flying along the low-altitude area above the city towards the headquarters of Weitian Group.

Although he now possesses the appearance of a fully-formed Hyper Zetton, he is ultimately only "borrowing" power through a prop, not Wu Bai himself descending.

Not only is their strength greatly diminished, but they haven't even mastered the signature "teleportation" skill yet, and can only travel by flying.

……

Inside the KRU headquarters, piercing alarms blared incessantly.

On the large screen in the command center, Hyper Zetton's massive form was flying at high speed close to the city's buildings.

In just a few seconds, it hovered in front of a skyscraper.

Looking at the scene on the screen, Wu Minmin frowned. "It just doesn't look right."

Honestly, this was the first time she had ever seen Hyper Jetton travel by "flying".

In her memory, that guy basically teleported and appeared in front of her instantly.

"Quickly!" an officer yelled at the control panel. "Get all mech pilots on standby immediately, ready to depart at any time."

……

The top-floor conference room at the headquarters of Weitian Group.

At this moment, the conference table was filled with the group's senior executives, who were discussing something.

Suddenly, everyone noticed that the sky outside the window had darkened without warning.

"What's going on? Is it going to rain?"

Everyone turned to look out the huge floor-to-ceiling window in confusion.

Upon seeing this, everyone was so terrified that they jumped up from their chairs.

Outside the window, a gigantic, insect-like face that filled their entire field of vision was staring intently at them.

Those glowing compound eyes revealed a chilling killing intent.

Through the glass, Lin Zhendong looked at the well-dressed people inside.

He slowly raised his massive pincers, filled with rage, and plunged them into the conference room on the top floor of the building.
