I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?

However, these words did help to alleviate the tightness in Lu Yao's heart.

She got off the bed, walked to Jiang Luo, squatted down, picked him up, and then sat back down on the bed.

Looking at the serious little thing in her arms, the sadness in Lu Yao's eyes faded a bit.

"Lolo, can you promise me something?"

Jiang Luo adjusted to a comfortable position in her arms, and glanced at her warily upon hearing this.

"I'll have to hear that first. If you want me to marry you when I grow up, that's definitely not an option."

Lu Yao was amused by his expression and reached out to pinch his nose.

"What? You think it's beneath you to marry me when I grow up?"

Jiang Luo looked completely at ease.

"Of course! When I grow up, I'll definitely be a dashing 18-year-old man, while you'll be an old man. No matter how you look at it, you'll be at a disadvantage."

Lu Yao was both amused and annoyed by his words, looking at him with a mixture of anger and amusement.

"Do you know how many people outside want to marry me? You're just being ungrateful."

Jiang Luo pouted, "But that doesn't change the fact that you've become Old Deng now that I've grown up."

"You're really asking for it!"

Lu Yao finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She stretched out both hands and began to frantically knead Jiang Luo's chubby little face.

"Ouch, sis, it hurts! Let go! Let go!"

Jiang Luo's face was pinched until it was distorted, and she could barely speak, "I was wrong, sister, I was really wrong. I'll definitely marry you when I grow up, please stop pinching me..."

Seeing Jiang Luo's discomfitured expression, Lu Yao finally let go of his hand with satisfaction.

Jiang Luo rubbed her flushed cheeks, feeling resentful.

You stinking woman!

All they do is use their physical advantage to bully others!

When I grow up, I'll definitely kick you away!

Seeing the defiant look on Jiang Luo's face, Lu Yao's smile deepened.

She reached out and gently ruffled Jiang Luo's hair, her voice softening.

"Lolo, promise your sister that if you ever encounter any danger, you must obediently follow your parents to escape. Don't make a fuss or cause any trouble. If you see me..."

"No matter what I'm doing, just leave me alone, okay?"

Jiang Luo stopped rubbing her face.

He looked up at Lu Yao.

The smile from before was gone from her eyes, replaced by a complex emotion he couldn't understand.

There was sadness, reluctance, and also a kind of... resolve.

Jiang Luo sensed that there was a deeper meaning behind Lu Yao's words.

But Lu Yao was unwilling to say, and he wasn't the type to pry.

He simply nodded and replied seriously, "Don't worry, sis, I'll listen to you."

Lu Yao smiled then, rubbing his little head vigorously, "That's my good Luo Luo!"

……

at the same time.

In the southern suburbs of the city, there is an office building that looks ordinary on the outside, but inside it is heavily guarded and full of high-tech features.

This is the location of the Dongzhou Extraordinary Bureau.

Li Zheng, who had just returned from Xingchen Kindergarten, didn't even change out of his work clothes before immediately knocking on the door of the top-floor director's office.

After witnessing Jiang Luo shatter his spatial bubble, he was 99% certain.

That child definitely has a problem!

And it's a huge problem!

He had to report to the bureau chief immediately and request access to all the bureau's resources and authority, sparing no expense, to uncover the secrets surrounding that child.

He needed to know what that power, which was neither extraordinary, nor strange, nor calamity, truly was!

Is this force a blessing or a curse for humanity?

"Come in!"

A deep, steady male voice came from inside the door.

Li Zheng pushed open the door and entered.

A middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit, with slightly graying hair but a vigorous spirit, was sitting behind a large desk organizing documents.

He is Zhao Haidong, the director of the Extraordinary Bureau of Dongzhou City.

Li Zhenggang was about to speak.

Zhao Haidong put down the documents in his hand, looked up at him, and spoke first.

"Li Zheng, you've come at the right time. I just happened to have something to discuss with you."

His tone was grave. "A human has awakened the extraordinary ability of [Sacrifice]!"

A sacrifice?

Li Zheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

These two words struck his heart like two heavy hammers.

This ability is familiar to anyone within the Extraordinary Bureau.

It could even be said that it was a household name!

Those with the ability to sacrifice are a rare existence, one in a million.

They have no offensive capabilities, no defensive capabilities, and their physical abilities are even worse than those of ordinary people.

But they possess the most unique and extraordinary abilities in the entire supernatural world.

Make a wish.

They can sacrifice something they own to fulfill a wish.

The more precious the offering, the more powerful the wish that can be fulfilled.

From sacrificing a single hair in exchange for a cup of milk tea.

On a grand scale... sacrificing one's own life in exchange for the power to turn the tide.

Of course, this is not the key.

The key point is that the appearance of those with the ability to sacrifice signifies something.

That was a prophecy!

A... omen of the end times!

There is a clear record of this in the ancient archives of the Extraordinary Bureau.

Each time a sacrificed ability user awakens, it foreshadows an apocalyptic catastrophe that will descend upon the world!

Six hundred years ago, the catastrophe that swept the globe and nearly destroyed human civilization was caused by a world-destroying calamity codenamed the "Lord of Nothingness".

At that time, even the combined supernatural forces of the entire world were powerless against it.

Countless cities were reduced to ruins before it, and countless lives perished before it.

Just as human civilization was about to come to an end.

The last person with the ability to sacrifice stepped forward.

She sacrificed her life in exchange for the ultimate power enough to seal the Lord of Nothingness.

Although humanity won a Pyrrhic victory in that war, it also paid an extremely heavy price.

All S-level and above superhumans worldwide have perished.

The transmission of power in the extraordinary world experienced a break that lasted for hundreds of years.

Even today, the strongest fighting force in the human world has only recovered to S-level.

And now...

Another sacrifice ability user has appeared!

Doesn't that mean...?

Is the nightmare of six hundred years ago about to repeat itself?

Is a new cataclysmic disaster about to unfold?

Suddenly, Li Zheng remembered all the strange things that had happened at the kindergarten that day.

I thought of the child who was identified as a "blind spot" by Wang Chao's "Sky Eye".

I thought of that A-level calamity that was instantly annihilated.

I thought of that space bubble that was blown apart in one breath.

Could it be...?

That child named Jiang Luo is not a fourth type of power at all!

But...

Is it a new world-destroying calamity about to appear?
