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

When Chu Ge arrived, the mutant had already stepped out of the black hole rift and was fighting a fierce battle with a squad from the Divine Order Bureau.

This was a humanoid mutant over ten meters tall, with a hunched and twisted body. Beneath its grayish-purple, ulcerated flesh, dark blue veins writhed wildly like living snakes, and its body was shrouded in a thick, foul miasma.

Its head was twisted to the side, one cloudy eyeball dangling from its palpation, while the other eye socket was a dark, empty void. Saliva dripped continuously from the crooked corner of its mouth, corroding the ground and causing it to hiss and emit white smoke.

Chu Ge's gaze swept over the members of the Divine Order Bureau.

In the team, only the bearded captain was a high-level combatant, wielding a golden-glowing battle blade and standing at the forefront with ease.

The other four were all at the peak of the mid-level, retreating in a triangular formation, taking turns to attack, their breathing rapid, but they could only barely hold them off, their armor already splattered with the rotten blood of the mutants.

"Sizzle—"

The bearded man stomped his feet hard on the ground, cracking it open, and suddenly lunged forward.

The light blade in his hand, imbued with the power of the blazing white divine order, slashed diagonally at the deformed man's right arm, instantly cutting through the festering flesh and severing the bone.

A thick, severed arm crashed to the ground, spraying blackish-purple blood everywhere.

At the cut, granulation tissue grows wildly, and the bones and tendons regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just two breaths, a brand new arm had fully grown back, its power undiminished.

But the severed arm that fell to the ground did not remain silent.

The skin swelled, twisted, and writhed continuously, the rotting flesh surged and reorganized, and in an instant it transformed into a miniature mutant more than two meters tall, roaring as it pounced on the nearest team member.

"What the hell is this thing! It can even split!"

The burly man, his beard bristling, roared in fury, "Damn it! A-level mutants are supposed to stay deep within the Abyss, how did they manage to sneak into the city? What are the Abyss Army doing?!"

The squad's relentless attacks thoroughly enraged the mutant.

It let out a low, eerie roar, and the miasma around it suddenly surged, and it began to wantonly destroy buildings without regard for the consequences.

"Luho—!"

Its thick arm grabbed the metal lamppost beside it, uprooted it, and slammed it down on the densest part of the team with a whistling wind.

"spread!"

The short-haired teammate on the left suddenly rolled to the side, raising his hand to support a light blue energy shield.

"boom--"

The shield trembled violently, and he was jolted backward, blood instantly seeping from his hand.

"boom--!"

The streetlights crashed heavily onto the road, sending bricks and stones flying and billowing dust.

The impact created a shallow crater in the ground, but fortunately the team members reacted quickly and no one was injured.

"Captain, if they keep tearing it down, the whole street will be ruined!"

The shield-bearer shouted, panting heavily; the shields were already mottled from the miasma.

"I know!" The bearded man's eyes were as cold as knives. He sheathed his sword and held back no longer. "Prepare for a swift kill. I'll use Divine Order to hold them off; you all assist me."

"Divine Order·Giant Spirit Body"!

A surge of powerful golden divine energy erupted from his body, causing his muscles to bulge wildly, his height to increase steadily, and his body to be covered with a layer of faint golden armor.

In the blink of an eye, his physique became even more robust than that of the A-level mutant, with every inch of his muscles brimming with explosive power.

"Vice Captain, enhance me! The rest of you, clear out the split entities, don't let them destroy the city!" The bearded man's voice boomed.

"receive!"

The vice-captain raised his palm.

The pale blue divine power surged toward the bearded man like a torrent, condensing into a pair of light wings several meters wide behind him, steadily supporting the giant spirit's massive body.

The moment the enhancement was completed, the vice-captain's face turned ashen, and he collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, clutching his chest and forcing a bitter smile: "Five minutes."

"That's enough," the bearded man grinned. "Watch me kill it in a minute."

His fighting spirit soared as he strode toward the mutants, each step causing the ground to collapse and leaving deep footprints and pits.

In the instant they were close, he gripped the deformed man's neck and waist tightly with both arms, his muscles tense and veins bulging.

They forcefully lifted the deformed creature, which was over ten meters tall, and with a sudden burst of strength, threw it hundreds of meters into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the bearded man flapped his wings of light and shot upwards like a golden meteor.

The ground battle was too destructive; he needed to completely obliterate the aberration in the air during the window of opportunity when it fell.

At the A-level, the strength of the Divine Order and the Aberrant will not differ too much.

In terms of pure strength and close combat, Big Beard is among the best of the high-level Divine Order users and has a very good chance of winning.

On the ground battlefield, the three team members immediately surrounded the mini mutant.

The short-haired team member manipulated wind blades to continuously cut through the opponent's flesh, while the shield-wielding team member took the damage head-on, and another female team member released lightning powers from the side to paralyze the opponent.

The three worked in perfect harmony, their attacks as dense as a torrential downpour, blasting the split entity into a pool of rotten blood in just a few dozen breaths.

However, no crystal core was released after this mutant died.

Chu Ge saw everything clearly from the shadows.

The aerial battle intensified.

The bearded man's fists whistled through the air, each punch landing squarely on the deformed man's head and torso, sending him flying backward, his body stiffening.

The golden fist imprint exploded, leaving a deep dent on the deformed man's festering body.

The self-healing ability of the aberrant variant is nothing short of miraculous.

The wounds healed instantly, and the shattered pieces of the torso kept falling off, transforming into small aberrations as they fell to the ground, continuously swarming towards the ground team members.

"This is never going to end!"

The bearded man cursed angrily, gradually slowing down his punches.

The golden light around him began to dim.

The combined drain from the giant's body and wings of light had brought his divine power to the brink of depletion, and his massive body had begun to sway slightly.

The three team members on the ground were in dire straits.

The number of smaller monsters that spawned after being defeated increased, from one to two, then to three, and then to four.

They had to fight off the smaller monsters while also protecting their vice-captain, who was lying on the ground, completely defenseless.

What started as orderly cooperation gradually turned into a chaotic mess.

His armor was damaged, his breathing was heavy, and there was no trace of relaxation on his face.

Chu Ge, concealed in the shadows of a building at the street corner, calmly surveyed the entire battle, clearly discerning the strengths and weaknesses of both sides:

The bearded man is a pure melee berserker, with maxed-out strength, defense, and melee combat, but lacking wide-range, high-burst magic damage;

Dealing with these mutants who can heal and split infinitely is like punching cotton; they can never be killed.

Although the ground team members cooperated well, their mid-level combat power limit was limited, and they would eventually run out of divine power.

The crux of the matter is the lack of burst damage capable of obliterating the mutants in one fell swoop, leaving no regenerative tissue behind.

And he happened to be majoring in three types of explosive magic.

What they excel at most is this kind of devastating, wide-range kill.

However, Chu Ge has his own principles.

I never steal other people's monsters.

Unless... the other party is completely powerless to reverse the situation.

"Bang--!"

The five-minute time limit was up in the blink of an eye.

The wings of light behind the giant beard instantly disintegrated into specks of light, and the divine power supporting the giant spirit's body broke.

Its massive body lost its balance and plummeted from the sky like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a lake and creating a splash several meters high. It did not resurface for a long time.

Chu Ge gazed at the ripples on the lake, gently shook his head, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

The team from the Divine Order Bureau was completely countered by this mutant in terms of tactics and ability configuration, leaving them with absolutely no chance of turning the tide.

He slowly stretched and moved his neck, his bones making a slight cracking sound.

It's time to wrap things up.

"Uncle, I've finally found you!"

Chu Ge suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look.

Li Yue, wearing slippers, jogged quickly from the alleyway not far away, her cheeks flushed with anxiety.

Upon reaching him, Li Yue grabbed Chu Ge's wrist without saying a word and tried to pull him towards a safe area.

"What are you doing in the combat zone? There are A-level mutants here, it's too dangerous. You're just an ordinary person, don't come any closer out of curiosity..."

The words came to an abrupt halt.

Li Yue was suddenly stunned.

She pulled with all her might, but the man in front of her remained as still as a rock rooted to the earth.

She is a Divine Order user, and her physical body has been nourished and tempered by the power of the Divine Order for many years. Her strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, and it is absolutely impossible for her to be unable to move an ordinary, thin old man.

Sole conclusion:

The man in front of her was no ordinary person, and his strength far surpassed hers. Otherwise, with her perception, she would have been able to detect the slightest fluctuation of divine power.

"Uncle."

Li Yue slowly released her grip, quietly took a half step back, and looked up at Chu Ge, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and deep wariness.

"You...you wouldn't happen to be a Divine Order user too, would you?"
