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

Hearing Li Yue's words, Chu Ge nodded slightly, his tone calm and even: "I suppose so."

Those who follow the divine order cultivate by relying on the power of the divine order, while mages rely on magical power as their foundation. The two are essentially from the same source, but they are different paths leading to the same destination.

He had already compared the differences between the two systems:

The Divine Orderers have balanced attributes, a wide variety of superpowers, and extremely solid physical strength and endurance, making them all-around combatants.

Mages specialize in unleashing maximum magical bursts, pouring all their attribute points into spell damage. Their physical bodies are as frail as ordinary people, and their defense relies solely on magic.

Of course, Chu Ge is an absolute exception.

His two lifetimes of rebirth, mastery of three magic systems, and extraordinary physique set him apart from ordinary mages.

Occasionally, in the quiet of the night, he would ponder deeply:

Could I be the reincarnation of some ancient emperor, undergoing reincarnation and trials in the mortal world, and after nine lifetimes of completion, I can attain the Dao of the Mortal Immortal?

If others heard these thoughts, they would probably just laugh without any politeness: "Have you ever been an immortal? You just think it's all wishful thinking."

"Just as I suspected." Li Yue nodded knowingly, her suspicions confirmed.

Her gaze swept quickly across the destructive mutants in the distance, then looked at the struggling Divine Order Squad, before settling back on Chu Ge's calm and expressionless face.

She subconsciously took a half-step back, the divine power within her body quietly surging, and a layer of cold, pale blue light gradually appeared in her palm.

Li Yue stared intently into Chu Ge's eyes, her face filled with suspicion and wariness, tinged with a hint of vigilance:

"Uncle, you've been watching here for so long...you're not planning to sneak up behind us, are you?"

It is common knowledge that when a mutant dies, a valuable crystal core will burst out of their body, which is the hard currency for cultivation and exchanging resources.

It is precisely because of this profit that a group of "scavengers" hiding in the shadows have emerged.

They are not officially registered members of the Order Bureau; they wait for others and the Aberrants to fight to the death, then rush out in the chaos to steal the crystal cores and reap the benefits.

Some were even more ruthless, killing even those who were considered to be divine beings.

Because within the body of a Divine Order Being, a crystal core is also being nurtured.

The crystal cores of those with divine order are completely different from those of those with aberrations and can be distinguished at a glance. These crystal cores are strictly prohibited by the Divine Order Bureau and cannot be traded normally, but they are extremely popular in the underground black market.

Hunting their own kind and losing their humanity, these people are already psychologically twisted. They have been kicked out of the human race by the Divine Order Bureau and given the infamous title of "crippled."

Scavengers are shameless and despicable, and the wicked and vicious are both inhuman beings that the Divine Order Bureau has explicitly ordered to be wanted.

However, the latter is too dangerous, and it is recommended to run away immediately if you encounter it.

Of course, if you're stubborn and capable, you can choose to kill the remaining enemies on the spot. The Divine Order Bureau welcomes this and will even give you a substantial reward.

In a sense, the fierce battle that Zhao Jian's team fought against the B-level mutants yesterday was "scavenged" by someone else.

Fortunately, the mysterious scavenger intervened; otherwise, Zhao Jian's team alone would have had no chance of taking down that B-level mutant, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Li Yue stared intently at Chu Ge, her mind racing.

The middle-aged man in front of her seemed to have a peaceful demeanor and no fierce aura. He even kindly lent her money, so he was most likely just an ordinary scavenger.

But what if... what if they are even more vicious and cruel?

She dared not gamble, nor could she afford to.

She loved money, but she also valued her life.

The divine power within her body was poised to be unleashed, energy surged through her meridians, and the air around her seemed to tighten subtly. The girl assumed a fighting stance, ready to fight to the death at any moment.

Come on, uncle! Use whatever poses you have!

Sensing the sudden change in the girl's aura, Chu Ge frowned slightly, momentarily confused.

They were fine just a moment ago, how come they suddenly got into a fighting stance?

And didn't you come to me seeking refuge?

Women's minds are truly unpredictable.

When adorable, it's as radiant as the blazing sun;

When something is unlovable, it is as cold and harsh as a heavy snowfall;

In ordinary times, it is like a still lake in autumn, without any ripples.

I wonder if this is how he was perceived by others when he was a woman?

If so, then I'm truly sorry.

However, as long as Li Yue doesn't take the initiative to attack him, he's too lazy to care about these things and just considers it a case of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

Our gaze once again turns to the battlefield of the mutants.

Big Beard crawled out of the icy lake at some point, dragging his soaking wet body back into the battle.

However, his condition was already extremely poor. His breathing was disordered, he was covered in injuries, and he was already at his limit. He was being suppressed by that A-level mutant and had no power to fight back.

"Bang--!"

With a dull thud, the bearded man was accidentally swatted away by the mutant's claws and crashed heavily into a car next to him, instantly denting the car body and making a piercing sound.

He lay on the ground for a long time before coughing up a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest, and staggering to his feet.

"Damn it, why is this thing so hard to deal with!"

The bearded man spat out the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face ashen, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

As an A-level Divine Order user, he had killed other mutants of the same level before. Even if it was difficult, he could eventually win after fighting for a day and a night. But he had never been so humiliated and disgraced as he was today.

Then he thought again that this mutant was able to break through the seal from the heart of the abyss, so it must not be an ordinary A-grade creature. It seemed reasonable that he couldn't defeat it.

He glanced at his teammates, who were also in a bad situation, gritted his teeth, pulled out his communicator from his waist, and prepared to call for reinforcements from headquarters immediately.

At that very moment, a figure suddenly entered his field of vision.

An ordinary-looking, unremarkable man was slowly walking towards the ferocious A-level mutant.

His steps were steady and unhurried, as if the fierce battle around him had nothing to do with him.

The bearded man's heart tightened, and he was about to shout to stop the other person from getting out of the way.

The next second, a terrifyingly powerful energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from that seemingly ordinary figure!

That power was vast and boundless, combining the condensation of divine power with the ferocity of magic, pressing down so much that the surrounding air almost solidified!

"Divine Order: Breaking Army"

Chu Ge murmured softly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, his body enveloped in a faint white light.

Perfect timing! Let's use this A-level mutant to test just how strong this talent, which claims to ignore all defenses, really is.

The "Divine Order: Breaking Army" technique was extremely taxing. He could clearly feel the magic power within his body burning rapidly. Even if he condensed twenty-two magic cores, he could only sustain it for about ten minutes at most.

He looked up at the mutant who had sensed the danger and was slowly turning its head, and slowly raised his right hand.

On his palm, a flaming lotus flower, one meter in diameter, instantly condensed, hovering quietly in mid-air and slowly rotating.

The petals were layered upon each other, their colors strangely beautiful, with crimson and gold intertwined, illuminating the surrounding night as bright as day, and rolling heat waves swept out in all directions.

Even from dozens of meters away, the bearded man could feel the intense heat emanating from the man, his skin burning slightly, and his heart instantly filled with extreme shock.

"What a terrifying fire lotus! Its power is simply astounding!"

The bearded man stared intently at the floating fire lotus, his breath catching in his throat, already guessing Chu Ge's next move.

The team members, who were fighting the surrounding mutant monsters, also caught sight of this scene at the same time, and all of them paused, their faces full of shock.

"Who is this person? His aura is several times stronger than the captain's."

The female team member retaliated with a backhand strike, repelling the mutant who pounced on her. Her gaze was fixed on Chu Ge, her tone filled with disbelief.

"I don't know," the short-haired team member replied, his feet moving without stopping, narrowly dodging the mutant's claw attacks while his weapon continued to slash. "Maybe it was reinforcements from headquarters that the captain contacted in advance."

"Is there such a person at headquarters?" The female team member frowned slightly, full of curiosity. "With such strength, even if they have an ordinary appearance and are older, they couldn't possibly be unknown. How come I've never heard of them before?"

"Who can say for sure? Maybe he's a low-key big shot who doesn't like to show off?" The short-haired team member panted as he slashed at the mutant again. "After all, not everyone is like our captain, a notorious 'carrot king' who takes on missions non-stop every day, as if he'd live on the battlefield."

As if suddenly remembering something, he lowered his voice and added:

"But if you insist, this person is most likely one of those ruthless individuals on the Earth Ranking who prefer to work alone. They never show their face, yet their performance is always among the best; they're incredibly mysterious."

"The Earth Ranking?" The female team member paused, her movements slowing down by half a beat, and she was almost hit by the mutant.

The so-called Earth Ranking is an annual list of the ten people with the highest performance, selected by the East Sea Divine Order Bureau.

Those who can make it onto the Earth Ranking are all top-tier experts.

A strong person is not necessarily a king of rolls.

But the King of Scrolls must be a strong one.

Among the top-ranked experts on the Earth Ranking, some are captains of elite teams, while others are lone wolves. They spend years deep in the abyss and fighting in secret realms, their strength is abnormally powerful.

After being reminded by her short-haired teammate, the female team member suddenly remembered that there was indeed a mysterious fire-type powerhouse on the Earth Ranking.

No one has ever seen his true face, and it's not even clear whether he's male or female; all that's known is the code name he left on the Heavenly Ranking.

Zhu Rong.

The legendary ancient fire god perfectly matched this ultimate fire power.

She gazed at the figure standing beneath the enormous fire lotus. Though his form seemed small, he exuded an aura of dominance over all. She couldn't help but murmur to herself, "Could he... be Zhu Rong, the mysterious figure on the Earth Ranking?"

"I'm not trying to be mean, but you two, brother and sister! Can you please stop slacking off and chatting?!"

The shield-wielding teammate roared, instantly interrupting the two men's thoughts.

He had just been violently rammed by a mutant, crashing into a car. The shock left him numb. After getting up, he looked utterly helpless and muttered under his breath:

"We're still fighting monsters! Can't you be serious? You can talk about love after we're done!"

The short-haired team member and the female team member exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat embarrassed, and quickly apologized in unison:

"Sorry, sorry, focus on the battle!"

The two immediately focused their attention and went all out, instantly accelerating the pace of the battle.

On the other side, the vice-captain's divine power had also recovered somewhat, and he immediately joined the battle, which greatly reduced the pressure on the team members.

"How could it be him...?"

Li Yue stood at a distance, staring blankly at the blazing fire lotus, her eyes filled with shock and realization.

This terrifying aura of flames, this eerie fire lotus—it's all too familiar. It's exactly the same as the one that suddenly appeared in yesterday's battle and instantly turned the tide of the war.

This time, she finally found the "culprit" who unleashed this powerful move.

At this moment, the fire lotus in Chu Ge's palm was still expanding and condensing, eventually reaching a diameter of ten meters!

This was the first time he had condensed a fire lotus of such scale. Even he himself was unsure just how powerful this move was, or what kind of destructive force it would cause after it was unleashed.

...but he just wanted to fight it out.

Let's give this hard-fought battle a spectacular ending.

Chu Ge raised his eyes, his gaze calmly meeting the mutant approaching him. His voice, each word distinct and clear, resounded throughout the battlefield:

"Buddha! Wrath! Fire! Lotus!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous fire lotus in his palm, carrying the force to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, slammed out towards the mutant.

let's go!

At worst, we can sink the East China Sea!
