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

"Sizzle..."

A thick, blue lightning bolt slammed into the transparent barrier.

The energy did not disappear, but rebounded, turning into clumps of red, lava-like substance that scattered across the ground in the area.

Seeing this, the other monsters around them all started to move.

They marched heavily, surrounding Lin Zhendong in the middle.

On the left, a monster opened its enormous mouth, and a crimson light began to gather deep in its throat.

On the right, another monster arched its back slightly, with sharp scales rising up along its spine, each scale crackling with purple arcs of electricity.

……

Lin Zhendong looked around, his heart filled with horror, and he was about to fly into the sky to escape.

But the level 5 monster seemed to have read his mind.

Its entire body suddenly erupted with violent blue arcs of electricity, converging all the energy towards the pointed horn on its head.

The already thick blue lightning bolt expanded even further, becoming even wider.

Lin Zhendong gritted his teeth, increased his energy output, and maximized the barrier's defense.

At this very moment…

All monsters have charged up.

Countless rays of light shot out from all directions at the same time, bombarding the barrier that Lin Zhendong had erected.

"Boom..." A huge mushroom cloud slowly rose into the sky.

A terrifying shockwave suddenly spread outwards, even the huge monsters around were pushed back several steps by the overflowing energy, almost losing their footing.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to fall silent...

...The scrolling comments in the live stream disappeared completely, and the screen fell into a deathly silence.

……

Inside the underground shelter in Qinggang City.

The group of people who were playing cards stopped what they were doing, and the cards froze in mid-air.

Everyone instinctively held their breath, their eyes glued to the television screen.

On the television screen...

...The thick, cloud-covered smoke and dust slowly dissipated, revealing the dark figure.

Just as everyone's faces were about to light up with smiles of relief, Hyper Zetton, who had been standing there, suddenly buckled at the knees and knelt down heavily. His entire body then collapsed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, the surrounding monsters all raised their heads and let out a series of triumphant roars.

These roars echoed throughout Qinggang City, so loud that they penetrated the thick layers of rock and clearly reached the underground shelter.

Upon hearing this chilling sound, all the children trembled and instinctively burrowed into their mothers' arms, shaking with fear.

"Look, everyone... Hyper Zetton."

Inside the shelter, someone shouted something, their voice trembling.

Everyone looked up at the television screen again.

Hyper Zetton, who was lying on the ground, began to decompose, turning into countless tiny particles of light that slowly dissipated into the air.

Just then…

A gasp suddenly came from the live television broadcast, followed by a hand appearing at the edge of the screen, urgently pointing downwards: "Quick, zoom in on that shot."

As the words fell...

...The camera began to focus rapidly, zooming in and zooming in again and again.

Soon, the image became clear.

A middle-aged man with blood all over his mouth, wearing a yellow leather jacket, was lying on the ground.

He gritted his teeth, braced his hands on the ground, and tried his best to stand up.

But no matter how he tried, his body felt like it was falling apart, and he was unable to stand upright.

……

Inside the KRU headquarters.

Everyone stared blankly at the man on the screen.

"Report, Hyper Zetton's identity information has been found."

The large screen displays a new image.

A passport photo appeared in the center of the screen; it was of a bespectacled man with a refined appearance.

Name: Lin Zhendong.

Gender: Male.

Age: 42 years old.

"And... he's a wanted criminal, still at large."

The entire command hall erupted in an unbelievable uproar, which quickly subsided into a deathly silence.

The technician swallowed hard and continued his report:

"A year ago, on February 6th of last year, he killed Zhong An, the owner of the Anvis Group, and his four bodyguards."

"Finally, on the same day, he killed 13 thugs in an abandoned machine shop, for reasons unknown."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in disbelief. To be honest, this was simply unbelievable.

The contrast is just too great...

...A fugitive murderer with multiple lives on his hands is actually the savior of Tian Shu Star?

……

The global internet exploded, and the previously silent live stream chat erupted with a frenzy of comments.

"I know him. His name is Lin Zhendong. He used to live next door to me. He is a fugitive."

"A wanted criminal? What did he do? That can't be right. Wasn't he always protecting Tian Shu Star? How could he kill someone?"

"That's because you don't know the inside story. He killed several bastards from our side."

"In my opinion, it was good that he was killed. I've always been on his side."

"However... he used to be a very refined person, but now he has turned into this weathered, roguish old man."

"I don't know what he went through this past year. To be honest, seeing him like this now, I feel a little sad for some reason."

"I see……"

"...I knew it! Why would the guardian deity of Tian Shu Star have a record of murder? There must be a hidden story."

……

Qinggang City, Vault 31.

Everyone stared at the struggling middle-aged man on the screen and fell into a complex silence.

They were really eager to know Hyper Jetton's true identity.

But no one expected it to be revealed in such a tragic way.

"Mom..." a childish voice broke the silence, "It's Dad... it's Dad."
