I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

Zhao Lie!

Wang Wei's former colleague.

In his previous life, with Wang Wei's help, Zhao Lie climbed step by step to third place on the Alliance's combat power ranking!

The results of it?

On the snowy plains of Jiangnan City, the first person to speak up for him was Zhao Lie.

"Wang Wei, just kill yourself."

"To exchange your life for thirty years of peace in the alliance, it's a worthwhile deal."

Those who used to fawn over him and serve him tea and water are the first to stab him in the back when he falls from power.

Wang Wei stared at the reflection, remaining silent for a long time.

Is it because their past attempts to please him have become an indelible stain on their reputation that they are so eager to send him on his way?

I guess so......

In this life, Zhao Lie awakened an SSS-level lightning-type ability.

It's just that the time was brought forward.

Moreover... Zhao Lie's wife, children, and parents were all dead.

In his previous life, Zhao Lie's relatives were practically untouchable in the Jiangnan base.

Especially after Zhao Lie awakened, people lined up outside his house every day to give him gifts.

What now?

Wang Wei looked at the man standing on the ruins in the reflection.

He was covered in blood and looked almost insane.

Wang Wei suddenly laughed.

Because he doesn't save the world, the fate of most people has already begun to change.

interesting.

"SSS level..." Wang Wei narrowed his eyes.

The strongest among the Alliance and the Divine Alliance members is only S-rank.

Zhao Lie is currently in a commanding lead; it's an overwhelming victory!

Moreover, judging from Zhao Lie's curses against the heavens just now, the Alliance and the Divine Alliance are probably in big trouble.

Those high and mighty people probably never dreamed of this—

Among the discarded pieces they casually tossed aside, a being capable of overturning the table suddenly emerged!

"Zhao Lie, don't let me down."

Wang Wei picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

An ordinary person who was abandoned became the top of the food chain.

This show is getting better and better.

……

Jiangnan City.

Lightning continued to strike down from the sky.

But all the lightning bolts that should have struck were blocked by one person.

Zhao Lie hovered in mid-air, his body crackling with electric arcs, as if he were wearing armor woven from lightning.

He looked down at the people shivering in the corner of the buildings in Jiangnan City.

"Everyone in Jiangnan City who's still breathing, get over here!"

The sound was like thunder, echoing throughout the entire city.

A person peeked out from behind the building ruins and froze when they saw the figure crackling with electricity in mid-air.

The next second, tears streamed down her face—

"The lightning... the lightning has been blocked!"

"We're saved!"

More and more people crawled out of their hiding places and staggered toward Zhao Lie.

A small number of people recognized him:

"It's Zhao Lie, my colleague!"

"My classmate, the one who used to sit behind me!"

"That's great...that's great..."

"........."

Crowds poured in from all directions, growing larger and larger.

Zhao Lie also took the opportunity to gradually reduce the scope of his protection.

Although he was an SSS-level officer, it was still difficult for him to protect the entire city.

Once everyone had gathered, he felt much more relaxed.

More than half an hour later, everyone was huddled together.

A dark mass of people, a sea of ​​heads.

But Zhao Lie glanced at it and his heart sank to the bottom.

Jiangnan City originally had a population of over one million.

The number of survivors is at most less than 50,000.

In just half a day, more than 900,000 people died!

His wife, children, parents...

Zhao Lie closed his eyes, several faces flashed through his mind, and the echoes still lingered in his ears:

"Come home early, my husband."

"My dad took me to play in the snow."

"Xiao Lie! Quickly take the child to the basement, don't worry about us!"

"........."

It's all gone.

It's all gone.

Below, someone in the crowd whispered:

"Thank goodness for Zhao Lie..."

"He saved us..."

"He awakened supernatural abilities..."

Zhao Lie opened his eyes and waited for everyone to quiet down before speaking:

"Did the Alliance send anyone over during that thunderstorm?"

The people below were taken aback.

"Has anyone from the Divine Alliance arrived?"

No one spoke.

Zhao Lie's lips twitched into a smile:

"no."

"Not a single one."

"Those saviors, divine alliances, and fire goddesses you all shout about, they're all hiding in safe places, watching you die!"

In the crowd, some people lowered their heads, while others unconsciously clenched their fists.

"If I hadn't awakened, I'd be charred to death by now," Zhao Lie continued. "And you? It was only a matter of time."

"We've been abandoned by those above long ago!"

One sentence hit everyone where it hurt.

A person suddenly burst into tears:

"Why...why isn't anyone coming?"

Some people wiped away tears, their teeth grinding together.

Zhao Lie looked at these people and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then—he raised his hand.

boom!

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket descended from the sky and landed directly in his palm!

The electric light illuminated the entire ruins, so bright it was blinding.

Everyone was so frightened that they backed away.

But Zhao Lie just stood there, holding the lightning bolt in one hand, like he was holding an obedient snake.

He threw the thunderbolt into the sky.

The thunder exploded in the air, turning into countless tiny arcs of electricity that scattered in all directions.

Then--

The lightning bolts, interfering with each other, stopped falling continuously!

Everyone stared wide-eyed at this scene.

What kind of divine power is this?

Many people showed expressions of surprise and delight.

The stronger Zhao Lie is, the safer they will be!

Zhao Lie lowered his head, looking at these people, and said, word by word:

"From this moment forward, there will be no alliance, no divine alliance."

"We'll take care of Jiangnan City ourselves."

"Those who are willing to stay, I will guarantee your survival."

"Those who don't want to can leave now—as long as you can get out of the minefield alive."

The crowd erupted as soon as he finished speaking.

"We'll go with you!"

"Zhao Lie! You are our savior, you are a god!"

"god!"

Someone took the lead and knelt down, then a second, a third...

A few seconds later, a sea of ​​black people knelt down.

Zhao Lie hovered in mid-air, looking down at the kneeling people.

What alliance?

What kind of divine alliance is this?

From this day forward, there will only be one god in Jiangnan City—that is him, Zhao Lie!

He raised his hands and gestured towards the sky.

Rumbling--

All the lightning in the sky gathered together, forming a huge ball of lightning above his head.

The ball of lightning grew larger and larger, exceeding 100 meters in diameter, illuminating the entire sky.

The ordinary people below were so frightened that their legs went weak, but no one dared to run.

They now have no choice but to trust Zhao Lie.

The next second—

The lightning ball exploded!

Instead of exploding downwards, it spread in all directions, forming a huge arc-shaped electric grid that covered an area of ​​Jiangnan City!

The moment the electric grid covered the area, lightning outside struck the grid and was immediately absorbed.

No more lightning struck the power grid.

The silence lasted for a few seconds...

Then--

"We held on!"

"It's safe there!"

"Zhao Lie! Zhao Lie! Zhao Lie!"

"Thor!"

"..."

Zhao Lie looked down at his hands, where lightning was still dancing.

SSS-rank... I didn't know it was that strong.

He was so strong that even he himself was afraid.

He raised his head and looked into the distance.

"Alliance, Divine Alliance."

"Wait."

"Your master has arrived."
