The S.H.I.E.L.D. conference room was deathly silent, with only the heavy breathing of the people inside.

"Gentlemen."

A white-haired admiral from the United States, seated at the head of the table, broke the silence.

He held a thick cigar between his fingers, his eyes fixed on Lin Ye on the screen.

"These are top-secret images intercepted by military spy satellites a few days ago."

"As you can see, the three cardinals of the Vatican were crushed like three defenseless bugs in that Eastern country."

"Based on the analysis of our [Prophet] supercomputer, the energy erupting from this man from the Great Xia Kingdom does not belong to any known mutated gene, nor does it belong to the Western magic system."

"It's more like a kind of divine energy that can directly mobilize the rules of higher-dimensional universes..."

The general exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes gleaming with undisguised fanaticism and greed.

"Our Eagle Nation has always maintained absolute dominance in the global supernatural world thanks to the [God Gene] and the [Superhero Serum]."

"But now, the emergence of such an unknown entity in the Great Xia Kingdom has seriously threatened the global strategic security of the Eagle Kingdom!"

A man in a suit representing a tycoon pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his tone calm and cold.

"General, it's only a matter of time before those old, decrepit believers in the Vatican are rendered obsolete by technology."

"But the power that Eastern man displayed—if we could capture it, extract his genetic sequence, and integrate it into our [Olympus God-Making Project]..."

The man in the suit didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood its value.

That means the Eagle Nation will mass-produce super monsters that are immune to any magical attacks and can summon lightning and fire with their bare hands!

"That's precisely why I've gathered you all here."

The general stood up, placed his hands on the conference table, and scanned the entire room with his gaze.

"The military of the Great Xia Kingdom just refused entry to the delegation from the Cherry Blossom Kingdom. They are taking very strict precautions. Conventional infiltration methods have failed."

"I propose that we immediately awaken the [Olympus] squad."

"Have those agents who have fused with the genes of the Old Gods disguise themselves as international investigators of supernatural phenomena, and secretly infiltrate Jiangzhou of the Great Xia Kingdom with bizarre containment objects through the channels of a neutral third country."

The general stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray with a sharp thud.

"At all costs, whether it's kidnapping, assassination, or gene theft."

"Bring that man named Lin Ye, or those women with special abilities around him, back to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s lab alive!"

……

The Great Xia Kingdom.

Jiangzhou, Lin's Funeral Service Shop.

As noon approached, the sunlight on the old street became increasingly dazzling.

The glass door was pushed open from the outside, and Chu Hongyan walked in briskly, carrying two heavy black suitcases.

She seemed to have just come off duty from the front lines today; her eyes showed some fatigue, but her spirits remained high.

"Manager Lin, these are special supplies that the Ninth Bureau's Logistics Department allocated to you overnight."

Chu Hongyan placed the suitcase on the tea table and skillfully entered the password to open it.

There was no cash in the box, but dozens of boxes of ammunition were neatly stacked inside.

The bullets had eerie dark red tips and were covered with Taoist talismans for warding off evil, all engraved with micro-carving techniques.

"High-density depleted uranium doped with high-grade cinnabar armor-piercing projectile, the latest research and development achievement of the Ninth Bureau Ordnance Factory."

"It's a surefire way to take down those tough, mutated zombies. Director Gao specially approved 500 rounds as an extra reward for your help in resolving the cruise ship crisis yesterday."

Lin Ye sat in the wicker chair, picked up a bullet, and weighed it in his hand.

It is extremely heavy, and the amount of gunpowder and yang energy contained inside is at its maximum.

For him, although this thing was not as useful as the Heavenly Thunder, it was indeed a top-notch item for equipping other people in the funeral parlor or for performing physical exorcisms in narrow terrain.

"Old Gao is getting more and more savvy. Please thank him for me."

Lin Ye put away the bullets and looked up at Chu Hongyan.

"Judging by your alarmed look, what new nonsense has Japan come up with while living on the high seas?"

Chu Hongyan poured herself a glass of water without any hesitation and gulped it down.

"Japan is manageable; the military's missiles are constantly monitoring them, so they don't dare to make any rash moves. What's truly troublesome is the west."

Chu Hongyan lowered her voice, her brows furrowed.

"The Ninth Bureau's intelligence network has detected frequent unusual movements from the supernatural forces in the United States."

"Unlike the Vatican, they did not carry out cross-border teleportation in a high-profile manner. Instead, they broke into smaller groups and used various false identities and the guise of international neutral organizations to secretly infiltrate the Great Xia Kingdom."

"Lin Ye, the system in the United States is different from traditional Taoist magic. They use genetic mutation and mythological serum."

"Those modified monsters have amazing physical defense and can be immune to many low-level magical attacks. You have to be very careful lately; you're currently the most sought-after person in the global supernatural community."

Hearing Chu Hongyan's warning.

Lin Ye couldn't help but chuckle.

"Genetic mutation? Superhero?"

"Captain Chu, do you remember our ancestors' saying, 'The greatest truths are the simplest, and all paths lead to the same destination'?"

Lin Ye stood with his hands in his pockets, his eyes revealing an undisguised disdain and arrogance.

"Whether it's injected with bear genes or fused with some scrap metal from the West, it doesn't matter. In the face of absolute power, it's all just fancy smoke and mirrors."

"I can't control them being superheroes in their own little corner of the world, but if they dare to come to Jiangzhou and try some kind of spy infiltration..."

Lin Ye patted the Soul-Suppressing Copper Coin Sword at his waist.

"If they come one, I'll grab them; if they come in pairs, I'll make a pair."

Looking at Lin Ye's confident and fearless demeanor, Chu Hongyan realized that she understood the man in front of her less and less.

"Alright. Anyway, I've passed on the warning. Be careful, and contact Bureau Nine immediately if anything happens."

Chu Hongyan dared not look into Lin Ye's eyes too much, for fear that he would catch the emotions in her eyes.

She stood up hastily, preparing to leave as if fleeing.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Lin Ye suddenly called out to her.

Chu Hongyan paused, turned around, and her heart involuntarily quickened: "Is there anything else?"

Lin Ye walked to the tea table, took out an exquisite jade medicine bottle from his system space, and casually tossed it to Chu Hongyan.

"Take it."

Chu Hongyan instinctively caught it, and looking down, she saw that the medicine bottle contained two pale golden pills that emitted a strong medicinal fragrance.

"What is this?"

"I made these 'Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pills' myself."

Lin Ye was talking nonsense; in reality, this was a [Basic Marrow Cleansing Pill] that he had redeemed using system points.

"Your dark circles have been like a panda's these past few days; you're definitely suffering from anemia."

"Take one, and I guarantee your skin will be hydrated and radiant, and you won't even be out of breath running five kilometers. So you won't hold me back in a fight later."

What was clearly a precious elixir sounded like a cheap, peddling drug from a street vendor coming from his mouth.

"Th-thank you."

Chu Hongyan's voice was as soft as a whisper.

She didn't linger any longer, turned around, pushed open the glass door, and strode into the sunlight of the old street.

Watching Chu Hongyan's departing figure, Lin Ye turned his head and glanced at Helena standing beside him.

"Let's go, Helena, get the gear ready."
