Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

[Urban emergency alert! Emergency alert!]

A piercing alarm ripped through the air, and the city's public address system was forcibly taken over. Amidst the crackling of electrical current, a cold, mechanical female voice echoed repeatedly, carrying an intense sense of oppression and reverberating throughout the city.

[WARNING! WARNING! Abyssal Aberration detected. It will descend upon Area B in ten minutes. Disaster Level: B!]

[All citizens in Area B, immediately cease all activities and proceed to the nearest underground safe zone for concealment! No leaving the area! No lingering! No unauthorized confrontation with the mutants!]

[To reiterate—The Abyss Aberration is imminent! All citizens, evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!]

The electronic screens on the street lit up with scarlet warning lights, flashing wildly, and piercing alarms blared one after another, enveloping the entire area in a tense atmosphere as if the end of the world was approaching.

Suddenly, a blood-red sphere with a diameter of five meters appeared out of thin air in the sky not far away, hovering silently, its red color dazzling and awe-inspiring.

Chu Ge's outstretched hand suddenly stopped, and Bruce was startled by the sudden broadcast.

The piercing alarm was still reverberating in the air when the entire street erupted in chaos.

The hurried passersby turned pale instantly, fear sweeping over the entire scene.

Screams and panic erupted suddenly as countless people fled in panic, leaving debris scattered along the way, unattended.

Traffic was extremely congested during the morning rush hour, with piercing horns, cries, and angry shouts all mixed together, and the scene was completely out of control.

Many people abandoned their cars and rushed frantically towards the underground safety zone amidst the crowd and shoving.

The middle-aged woman at the steamed bun shop had just turned to run away when she caught sight of Chu Ge still standing under the telephone pole. She quickly turned back, grabbed his arm, and urged him urgently:

"Hey bro, run! The mutants are coming soon, it'll be too late if you're too late!"

But no matter how hard she tried, she found that she couldn't budge the seemingly destitute beggar in front of her.

"Wait until I finish this bun," Chu Ge replied casually, still chewing on the bun.

The proprietress: "..."

Looking at Chu Ge's calm demeanor, she felt only helplessness, assuming he was simply too hungry to care about the danger.

With the countdown drawing ever closer, she couldn't delay any longer and repeatedly gave him instructions before leaving:

"Then hurry over after you finish eating. The safe zone is just around the corner, so don't wander off!"

"Yes, I will," Chu Ge mumbled, biting into a steamed bun.

In a short while, all the pedestrians on the street had disappeared, and the once bustling neighborhood became eerily silent.

Beneath this deathly silence, a secret ambush had already been quietly laid.

Someone was hidden on the rooftop of a tall building in the distance, only revealing a pair of cold eyes, staring intently at the red orb of light in the sky below;

Some people hid in the corners of the streets and alleys, pressed against the mottled walls, and suppressed their breathing to the lowest level, not daring to make the slightest sound;

Someone lay motionless behind the abandoned vehicle, huddled in the shadows, their presence perfectly concealed.

Chu Ge glanced at the hidden figures out of the corner of his eye and keenly sensed a special aura emanating from them, distinct from that of mages. He couldn't help but ponder to himself:

This world clearly has magic, but these people are definitely not the mages he knows. Instead, they seem to be martial artists from another cultivation system.

"Hey, you beggar over there, why aren't you taking refuge in the safe zone?!"

A reprimand suddenly rang out.

Chu Ge turned around at the sound and saw a young man in his twenties walking quickly towards her. He was wearing a gray uniform, had short yellow hair, and had nails in his ears, nose, and lips. His expression was full of impatience.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Is there anyone else here besides you?"

The young man walked closer, looked him up and down, frowned even more, and waved to urge him on.

"Get out of here! Once the mutants come out, I won't have time to protect you!"

"I……"

Just as Chu Ge was about to speak, another sharp shout interrupted his thoughts.

"Huang Shuo, what's going on? Why are there still people stranded here?"

A middle-aged man in his thirties strode over, also dressed in a gray uniform, with a serious face, sharp eyes, and an aura of authority.

"Captain, I..."

Just as Huang Shuo was about to explain, the red sphere of light not far away suddenly twisted violently and instantly turned into a black hole of the same diameter.

A series of chilling "creaking" sounds emanated from the depths of the black hole.

"Oh no! The mutant is about to emerge ahead of schedule!"

Zhao Jian's expression changed drastically, and he immediately gave the order:

"Huang Shuo, immediately check the surrounding area to see if there are any residents who haven't been evacuated!"

"yes!"

After giving instructions to his subordinates, Zhao Jian turned to Chu Ge, his tone softening slightly: "Sir, please go to the safe zone immediately. It's very dangerous here."

"it is good."

Chu Ge nodded, slowly swallowed the last bite of the bun, casually tossed the wrapper into a nearby trash can, and turned to walk towards the street. His steps were unhurried, leaving no trace.

Watching his calm departure, Zhao Jian sighed helplessly, feeling that the people of this era were truly worrisome.

With the situation critical and no time to spare, he immediately turned his head and stared intently at the pitch-black hole.

"Crunch—crunch—"

The strange sounds from the black hole grew closer and closer, and then a distorted monster slowly squeezed out of the black hole.

Its entire body was covered in blackish-purple, rotting flesh, with sticky venom dripping from its skin and flesh. Its body was covered with bizarre tumors, its eye sockets were empty and pitch black, and its pair of sharp, terrifying claws gleamed with a cold light.

The venom dripped onto the ground, instantly scorching out plumes of black smoke and leaving behind small pits of varying depths, demonstrating its extremely corrosive nature.

The deformed creature's hollow eye sockets scanned its surroundings, instantly locking onto Zhao Jian, who was closest to it, and slowly approached, dragging its twisted body.

Not far away, Chu Ge hid behind the steamer basket in the steamed bun shop, his gaze fixed on the mutant, secretly analyzing its strength:

This monster's aura was several times stronger than the ferocious wild boar we encountered last time, and its strength was roughly at the peak of the mid-level.

Looking at the crowd, Zhao Jian's strength was also at the peak of the middle level, but his aura was far less oppressive than that of this mutant. He would definitely not gain an advantage in a head-on confrontation.

Huang Shuo was at the early stage of the intermediate level, and the others hidden in the shadows were of similar strength.

Without stronger combat support, it would be very difficult for this group to take down this mutant.

"I wonder if killing this thing will drop a crystal core." Chu Ge's eyes, staring at the mutant, revealed a hint of eagerness.

However, he did not make a move immediately, intending to observe the situation first and see how the people of this world actually fought.

In the blink of an eye, the aberrant creature had closed to within ten meters of Zhao Jian.

"Let's do it!"

Zhao Jian's eyes darkened, and he gave a low shout, taking the initiative to attack.

In an instant, a long sword gleaming with a dark, sinister light appeared out of thin air in his hand, its blade surging with crimson energy.

He swung his sword, and a sharp, blood-red blade of light shot through the air, striking the mutant's body and instantly creating a deep, bone-revealing wound.

Before Zhao Jian could even catch his breath, the wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to its original state in a short moment, as if it had never been injured at all.

"As expected, the regenerative ability of a Class B aberration is not so easy to deal with."

Zhao Jian's eyes turned icy. He stomped his foot hard on the ground, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear instantly. His aura surged, and he shouted sharply:

"But this city will not be allowed to be destroyed at will!"

"Divine Order: Erosion Prison"!

A pitch-black energy cage materialized out of thin air, instantly trapping the mutant inside. Countless sharp barbs on the inner wall of the cage frantically pierced the mutant's body.

The mutant let out a ferocious roar, its rotting flesh churning wildly. With sheer brute force, it managed to shatter the solid black prison inch by inch, and its aura became even more violent.

"Swish swish swish—"

Zhao Jian flashed forward and charged directly at the mutant.

He was as fast as a ghost, and his physical skills were extremely sharp. As he swung his longsword, streaks of sword light continuously slashed at the mutant's body, causing wounds to appear one after another, making the mutant's roars even more mournful.

No matter how many wounds he inflicted, the deformed flesh would always heal instantly, making all his attacks seem futile.

But Zhao Jian's speed didn't slow down; instead, it increased, his eyes growing ever more determined: "I'll see if your recovery speed is faster, or my blade!"

"Captain, I'm here to help you!"

A clear, crisp female voice suddenly rang out.

The young girl, Li Yue, stood on the edge of the tall building. Her face was clean and clear, and her eyes were bright and lively. She seemed harmless, but her moves were extremely fierce.

She raised her palm and waved it lightly, unleashing a surge of divine power that instantly caused the world to lose its color and the surrounding temperature to plummet.

"Divine Order: Frost Blossom"!

A barrage of ice blades whistled down, freezing layer upon layer on the surface of the aberrant creature, completely encasing its body in ice.

But just a few seconds later, the ice began to crack with a series of snapping sounds, and the cracks spread rapidly before finally shattering under the violent power of the aberrant creature.

This attack only delayed its charge for a moment.

"Place your order!"

A burly man roared as he charged into the fray, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and the aura of gravity around him surged.

The immense weight suddenly pressed down, causing the earth to tremble violently. The deformed creature was pinned to the spot, unable to move.

It let out a piercing roar, and the fleshy tumor on its shoulder suddenly burst open, spewing out a cloud of murky, foul-smelling venom towards the crowd.

"Watch out! Get out of the way!" Li Yue's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly shouted.

"I'll block it!"

Huang Shuo returned just in time, his palm radiating light, and a dazzling light shield instantly condensed.

The venom slammed into the light shield, instantly sending up wisps of blue smoke, and was finally blocked.

Huang Shuo's expression was extremely solemn. He turned to Li Yue and shouted loudly:

"This Class B aberration is far more terrifying than any we've seen before. Its regenerative abilities are insane; the few of us simply can't kill it!"

"Li Yue, request reinforcements from headquarters immediately!"
