What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

And when did he become a fourth-tier powerhouse?

Yang Xi was slightly surprised. Chris had narrowly escaped the battle at the B05 defense line. He thought that this human traitor should be lying in an inconspicuous corner of the world, thinking of causing trouble again.

But I never expected to meet him here.

"It seems Chris has also had a serendipitous encounter!"

Upon seeing Chris's sudden appearance, Ockham's face darkened even more.

Besides his instinctive hatred for the Deep Blue Clan, this also means that more and more fourth-tier powerhouses are learning about his killing of the prime minister's son.

As for why only the number of fourth-tier individuals is counted, it's because he can easily eliminate those below the fourth tier, but he can only watch helplessly as strong individuals of the same tier are eliminated.

He knew his own strength; within the fourth tier, he could only bully newly minted beginners.

The arbitrator glanced at Chris, but he was not letting his guard down regarding this member of the Deep Blue Clan who had come to his door.

But it is still a fourth-tier combat power. Even if it is just placed aside as a decoration, it still has a deterrent effect.

He was very confident in his methods; even if you didn't really want to work for him, you would eventually fall into his trap.

Isn't Occam's work a perfect example?

What I planned out of leisure many years ago has now yielded fruitful results.

The four factions on the New Frey Continent each have only a handful of fourth-tier powerhouses, and each additional one can disrupt the balance of power among them.

“Chris is unlikely to be the one who killed Walker,” the arbitrator said calmly. “Then, according to what you’ve said, the murderer must be either the Amethyst Python or the Iron Tower.”

Why did those two kill Walker?

Ockham said coldly, "This should be a matter between your Mercenary Guild, the Beast Alliance, and the Bernadotte Empire, right? Do you think I don't know what you three have been up to in Bright City?"

The arbitrator nodded and said, "What you say makes sense. Killing Walker would be beneficial to their plans in Bright City."

"Let's talk about this crystal ball."

"What, so you're finally going to start your deal? I haven't agreed yet!"

Ockham was constantly testing the waters; if he appeared too easily subdued, who knew if this guy would suddenly demand an exorbitant price.

He's willing to bleed for this, but if things really go too far, he'll just flip the table and quit!

Everyone present focused their attention simultaneously; after all this commotion, they were finally getting to the point.

"Our requirements are simple: if you want this matter to remain confidential, you must become a spy planted by the union within the upper echelons of the Hundred Cities Federation, responsible for passing out some classified intelligence. How about it?"

Ockham thought to himself, "So that's the request." But he wasn't stupid. If he didn't destroy the crystal ball and put leverage in the Mercenary Guild's hands, he would forever remain a tool.

Unless—his strength surpasses that of the Prime Minister and his wife in a short period of time.

However, both of them are powerful individuals at the fourth tier, making the possibility of this happening close to zero.

"I can't afford to pay such a high price. I can only agree to send out ten key pieces of intelligence. After the transaction is completed, you must give me the information, or we'll all go down together!"

The arbitrator rejected Ockham's proposal, saying, "Ten is too few. How about you serve us for a hundred years?"

"Are you kidding me? A hundred years is more than enough time for us to complete our colonization, occupy the White Hollow, and return to the Odyssey plane!"

"Do you think I'm joking? Anyway, a hundred years isn't a long time for a fourth-tier expert, and I'm not asking you to go to jail, I'm just providing information! You don't need to pay any price!"

The two fourth-tier powerhouses began to negotiate fiercely, each wanting to gain enough benefits for their side.

Meanwhile, Dick looked bitter on the sidelines. Once the negotiations were completed, Ockham, with his personality, would definitely kill him to silence him.

But with three fourth-tier experts around, he didn't even dare to think about running away beforehand; doing so would only be courting death!

"Heavens above, can you please give me a way out?!"

Dick closed his eyes in pain, his previous arrogance completely gone.

Yang Xi silently sensed the strength of these guys, wondering if they would start fighting later. If they did, he might be able to take the opportunity to kill a fourth-tier opponent and obtain another arcane chain.

"Impossible! Don't forget, I can also choose the Benadot Empire. At worst, I'll work for those three brothers. Anyway, they don't get along with that scumbag couple!"

“Ockham, it’s too late for you to think like that now. You just killed someone from the Benadot Empire. Given the protective nature of those three brothers, who knows what they might do!”

"You're overthinking it. I don't believe those three brothers would abandon me, a fourth-tier cultivator, for a third-tier limit cultivator!"

"..."

"How about this, we each compromise. I only need twenty years of your time, how about that?"

"Twenty years? I could consider it, but you'll have to swear an oath of the law!"

For a fourth-tier powerhouse who enhances their strength by comprehending the mysteries of the laws, breaking the vow they made to uphold the laws could very likely cause them to develop inner demons, preventing them from making any progress in their understanding of the laws.

Therefore, generally speaking, the oaths of law made by fourth-tier powerhouses are highly credible.

The arbitrator sneered, "Twenty years from now, I'll have enough time to find other ways to control you!"

"Of course, then I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

He extended his right hand towards Ockham, feeling somewhat smug that his trip to Bright City had resulted in the surrender of two fourth-tier powerhouses.

Ockham reluctantly grasped the arbitrator's hand. Although he would have to serve this guy for twenty years, he had finally gotten rid of this time bomb and could finally breathe a sigh of relief!

"And what about these random people?"

Ockham's murderous gaze swept over Yang Xi, Dick, and Harvey. To him, these third-tier guys were better off being killed to silence them.

"Lord Ockham, spare me! I promise I won't reveal a single word!!!"

Dick fell to his knees with a thud, begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face.

"Dick, you know I still like you quite a bit, but unfortunately, you saw something you shouldn't have!"

Ockham revealed a cruel smile, and drew the flute tucked into his waistband.

Seeing that Ockham was determined to kill, Dick crawled down to the Arbitrator's feet. A dignified third-tier ultimate expert was crying like a child.

"Arbitrator, I can also be a spy for the Mercenary Guild. I am willing to dedicate my life to serving you!"

Dick's words made the arbitrator raise an eyebrow. The life of a third-tier limit expert was not bad at all!

"Arbitrator, don't be fooled! This guy being alive is the biggest flaw in our deal!"

Ockham didn't even wait for his consent before killing him!

The sonic attack, accompanied by beautiful sounds, instantly struck Dick.

At the critical moment, a fist imprint appeared, once again shattering Ockham's attack!

"Do you think you, a traitor, are worthy to kill the people of the Hundred Cities Federation?"

A middle-aged man with a full beard appeared in the sky. He was dressed in similar clothes to Ockham, but with an additional crown-like epaulette.

The middle-aged man suppressed his anger. "Ockham, I heard you killed my son?"

404 Burst of Ultimate Skill

No one expected that Lord Norton, the chief administrator of the Hundred Cities Federation, who was far away in the depths of the New Frey continent, would suddenly appear in Bright City.

And what a coincidence that they ended up in the Keith family's territory.

"Is this Walker's plan?"

Yang Xi thought to himself.

He looked at the bearded middle-aged man in the sky and felt as if he contained the energy of a volcano!

"The level of the profound laws this guy has comprehended is definitely not low!"

The once arrogant Ockham turned pale the moment he met Walton, the general manager of the Hundred Cities Federation!

He knew exactly how powerful that old man was!

If it's a one-on-one fight, he'll definitely get utterly humiliated.

Due to nervousness, Ockham's lips twitched unnaturally. "How...how could this be, Lord Norton? Don't listen to other people's slander. These families in Bright City will do anything to seize the position of Lord of Bright City!"

He could only bet that Norton had just arrived and hadn't seen the footage recorded by the crystal ball.

"Do you think I'm stupid? You idiot!"

Norton acted decisively, not even bothering to argue with Ockham anymore.

He was still skeptical when he received the letter, but he came to Bright City just to find out what was going on.

Who knew that after waiting for only a short while, we would witness such a wonderful spectacle!

He never imagined that the one who killed his son would be his right-hand man, Ockham, who held the high position of Platinum Deacon!

"You killed my son, so you shall pay with your life!"

"The life of a fourth-tier powerhouse as a sacrifice, you should be satisfied in the underworld..."

After saying this, two tears suddenly streamed down Norton's weathered face.

The next second, the fist carrying powerful law fluctuations rushed towards Ockham like a red meteor!

Ockham was shocked and used all his strength to unleash his techniques, which contained the secrets of music.

The music that was originally melodious now sounds rather jarring.

"Crescent Moon Dance!!!"

In a daze, a new moon appeared in the night sky, and everyone's souls were inevitably drawn into it.

Yang Xi was immersed in this state of mind for less than a second before breaking free.

Along with him, the arbitrator of the mercenary guild also recovered from this state.

"I originally thought Ockham was a weakling, but I didn't expect him to actually be quite capable!"

"We really shouldn't underestimate any fourth-tier expert!"

But Norton seemed completely unaffected; his fist didn't even pause for a moment!

The crimson flames engulfed the world!

Yang Xi witnessed the power within Norton transform from a dormant state into a monstrous ferocity in an instant!

If we had to describe it using a natural phenomenon, it would only be a volcanic eruption!

His punch shattered the crescent moon and landed squarely on Ockham without pausing!

Ockham crashed to the ground like a broken sandbag, smashing a deep hole in the ground!
