I'm not just human!

Whether it was the wooden planks still flying in the air, the shards of cups scattered on the ground, or the fallen leaves swept up by the wind outside the villa window... everything slowed down.

The three-meter-tall metal humanoid that Xia Fa had transformed into also seemed to slow down, as if his whole body was trapped in an invisible gel.

The Baldr father and son struggled only slightly before their movements returned to normal.

Without the slightest delay, young Baldr displayed an assassin's qualities completely different from his usual pampered aristocratic demeanor. He suddenly produced two rag dolls in each hand and threw them directly into the open space on either side of the living room.

There were four rag dolls in total. The moment they landed, they quickly grew larger and grew into the exact same shape as Little Bald, except that they were still made of rag doll material and their bodies were sewn together with thread.

"what!!!"

The dolls screamed and ran around like madmen, but little Bald didn't care at all. Secret runes flashed in his blue eyes, and a high-pitched chant burst from his throat.

The villa's living room suddenly lit up.

It was afternoon, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows let in sunlight. The villa was already bright, but this brightness was replaced by an even brighter light, making the outside world look much dimmer.

It was a ball of light in the sky, radiating extremely high temperatures, like a burning piece of metal.

The rag doll that was running around also stopped and raised its hands into the air.

Pop, pop, pop, pop... Four identical high-temperature orbs of light appeared, and the temperature in the living room instantly became like a midday desert, or even close to a red-hot furnace.

On the other side, old Baldr drew a flintlock pistol from his waist, but instead of loading it, he raised it and aimed it at the three-meter-tall metal humanoid that Shafa had transformed into.

Inside the muzzle of that flintlock musket, some kind of translucent, strange substance was spinning and forming, rippling with a destructive wave.

The next moment, he pulled the trigger.

boom--!

At the same time, five high-temperature orbs of light in the air emitted a chilling shriek and crashed into the three-meter-tall metal humanoid that Xia Fa had transformed into!

All of this happened in an instant, from the moment old Baldr threw the bone die and it rolled an hourglass pattern, to the moment the father and son switched from fleeing to launching a deadly attack, less than a second had passed.

In an environment where time slows down, even the shards of the splashed cup are still in the air, unable to land.

Similarly, the three-meter-tall metal humanoid that Xia Fa had transformed into seemed unable to move at all, because the bone dice were right under his feet, and he was subjected to the maximum time slowing effect.

Just as the five orbs of light were about to hurtle him, the translucent substance in the flintlock pistol was about to strike his heart.

Suddenly, everything changed.

The three-meter-tall metal humanoid that Xia Fa transformed into, like the Bald father and son, struggled slightly before breaking free from the time-slowing effect.

Then he turned to face old Baldr.

A sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and a large amount of silver mercury vapor spewed from the back of the metal humanoid form that Xia Fa had transformed into. Its three-meter-tall figure almost turned into a streak of silver light and instantly swept past Old Bald.

This was an incredibly fast attack; in the air, one could even see the faint white marks left by his unstoppable silver claws, and the silver light behind him dissipating like starlight.

Star Silver Charge!

Old Baldr stood frozen in place, two lines of blood appearing on his forehead.

The blood trailed down from the top of his head, down to his chin, and then to his neck and even his entire body.

Blood seeped out, staining his blue shirt inside his double-breasted coat.

The head of the Bald family was cut into three pieces, his split body falling to either side.

All that remained behind him was Xia Fa, a three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure who slowly turned around with a chilling gaze.

Little Bald was utterly horrified. The shot his father fired was completely ignored by the three-meter-tall metal humanoid, and it couldn't withstand the sudden burst of speed.

Most importantly, that three-meter-tall metal humanoid was actually able to... break free from the control of the Time Curse Dice!

That was a sealing artifact that Grandpa gave to Father. Grandpa Pompeii clearly said that only beings of demigod rank or above, or extraordinary beings who have signed a hegemon-level secret pact, can get rid of the effect of the Time Curse Dice when the black hourglass is thrown!

The metallic monster before them was clearly not a demigod; it completely lacked the imposing aura of a demigod. In other words, he was…

The moment he realized this, Little Bald almost immediately abandoned any thought of avenging his father. With a wave of his hand, the five high-temperature orbs that had lost their target in the air immediately turned and rushed towards the three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure. At the same time, the rag dolls running around in the hall also rushed towards it as if they were going to their doom.

Bang!!!!!

The explosion was so violent that the earth shook and the villa trembled violently, with dust falling in abundance.

All the rag dolls and the ball of light exploded together, and the terrifying flames almost engulfed the three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure.

Little Baldr was about to run outside without hesitation, but the next moment, he froze, his eyes showing extreme astonishment.

Inside the dissipating smoke and dust, a metal barrier made of red mercury was erected, and inside the barrier, the three-meter-tall metal humanoid was completely unharmed!

Red and Silver Imperial!

Another sharp, whistling sound erupted, and a large amount of silver and mercury vapor was ejected. The three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure swept past Little Bald in an instant.

This time, Little Baldr was shattered into pieces by the claws, his internal organs falling limply to the ground.

Behind him stood a three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure, the embodiment of Xia Fa, its dark eyes showing no hesitation or pity.

However, Xia Fa was quite surprised at this moment.

This was because, in this operation, he did not use even a fraction of the burning sensation within his body; he relied entirely on the power of the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract!

In other words, he was equivalent to an insect-level superhuman... instantly killing two elephant-level superhumans!

Fungus, insect, eagle, wolf, elephant, whale... This is equivalent to spanning three entire ranks!

At this moment, Xia Fa understood even more clearly why a hegemon-level secret contract could be called the "hegemon" among secret contracts.

And this is all I've done with just one Overlord-level secret agreement. What if I were to sign another Overlord-level secret agreement, the Gate of Stars?

Without giving it much thought, Xia Fazheng, realizing that this was not a place to linger, prepared to leave.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the mangled remains of Baldr and his son, and his eyes lit up.

"This is……!"

Chapter 103 An Unexpected Surprise!

In the silent villa hall, only the black smoke from the explosion drifted along the windows, and mercury vapor slowly dissipated into the air.

On the expensive pear wood floor, in the three halves of old Baldr's body, a patch of skin on his left side was trembling slightly, as if some living thing was trying to break free.

Xia Fa watched this scene with great surprise. He wasn't afraid of any evil spirits or strange occurrences being born; if that were the case, he wouldn't be so surprised.

But now, not far in front of him, on the corpse of old Bald, there was... a secret contract being generated!

Moreover, judging from the number of secret texts on the secret contract, this is actually a high-level secret contract!

Xia Fa felt quite shaken. He had previously thought that secret contracts could only be generated on strange or supernatural creatures.

Unexpectedly... even killed superhumans have a chance of generating a secret contract?

This gave him a momentary chill, as if he had glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of a supernatural world where people eat each other.

Sure enough, this world is full of madness; the Secret Contract can actually be born from a dead superhuman!

Xia Fa even suspected that if the universe had not been peaceful and prosperous for over 30,000 years, and if the nine major churches had not been a powerful force overseeing the superhumans, the phenomenon of superhumans killing each other would probably be even more insane now.

Of course, no matter what, he still needs this high-level secret contract, since he is currently short of money, either 500,000 or 1.5 million gold pounds.

"Wait, if superhumans can all generate secret contracts, then what if one day I could kill Pompeii, this demigod..."

Xia Fa thought about it for a moment and found himself inexplicably looking forward to it.

In this light, Pompey could not only save him a million gold pounds, but also bring him at least ten thousand gold pounds in income!

After all, it was impossible for Pompeii to generate a hegemon-level secret contract; if he were to generate one, it would only be a high-level secret contract, but that was enough.

At this moment, beneath the three-meter-tall metal humanoid form that Xia Fa had transformed into, a transcendent essence was being extracted from the shattered remains of Little Bald.

This extraordinary substance was not in the shape of the various crystals that Xia Fa was used to seeing, but rather in the shape of a rag doll.

However, the doll looked very crudely made, and even the face was blurry. At first glance, it looked like a child had made it by tying hemp rope to a wooden stick.

Xia Fa did not find it offensive and bent down to pick it up.

Elephant-level extraordinary essence is already priced at three thousand gold pounds on the market. If it is contaminated, although it cannot be sold at a high price, handing it over to the church is basically equivalent to earning ten thousand gold pounds.

After all, contributions to the church can be exchanged for secret treasures at will.

Soon, the advanced secret contract on old Bald's corpse was also generated. Xia Fa walked over, and with a sharp silver claw, he cut his ribs and removed the advanced secret contract from the human skin.

A casual glance revealed a hint of surprise in Xia Fa's eyes.

"Complete control of the Secret Code? I've never seen anything like that before..."

Xia Fa knew that in the Augu Kingdom, many extraordinary individuals preferred to choose the Controller Contract as their first contract.

Because this ordinary secret contract allows extraordinary individuals to control their enemies using their physical body or the contract's abilities.

The simplest and most direct method is to grab the enemy, immobilize them, and thus withstand attacks from other superhumans.

It seems that Lieutenant General Bedivere, this demigod, has also signed a secret pact with the controller.

Therefore, Xia Fa speculated that this advanced secret contract called "Total Control" should be an advanced version of the controller's secret contract.

This advanced version of the popular common secret contract would definitely cost more than 10,000 gold pounds!

"good……"

Xia Fa was quite pleased. He had only come to strike first to avoid being ambushed by the Bald father and son at tomorrow's Fog Carnival and to avenge the dead refugees.

Unexpectedly, he earned at least 13,000 gold pounds, or even more!

This brings us one step closer to our goal of purchasing the Stargate, a supreme-level secret pact, from Dick Tudor for 500,000 or 1.5 million gold pounds…

My expenses at the Extraordinary Market this afternoon were also reduced considerably.

After regaining his composure, Xia Fa glanced briefly at Bald and his son, but his spiritual intuition failed to detect the presence of the Black Bag, so he immediately chose to leave.

However, before leaving, he scattered a large amount of live iron powder into the villa to interfere with the transmission of information and intelligence in the Protoss Realm, thus avoiding possible investigation and divination.

Although the Bald father and son deserved to die, there was no evidence of their crimes on the surface. Furthermore, both the Nine Churches and the Kingdom of Augu strictly prohibited private killings between superhumans.

Of course, Xia Fa also planned to expose everything after everything was over, and to completely nail the Bald family to the pillar of shame.

As he quickly turned around and stepped out of the villa, the Rhine Silver Mercury on his body instantly activated, seeping into the openings in his mouth, nose, wrists, and ankles.

However, he did not transform into his original form. Beneath the three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure was a burly man draped in a black robe, who at first glance looked like a sailor or a boxer from an underground fighting tournament. No one could associate him with the slightly thin Xia Fa.

Xia Fa swaggered out of the villa, turned around and entered the chaotic and noisy lower city of Augustus. After passing through a small alley, he changed his form again and used the power of the Phantom Shark Suit to change his clothes and transform into a beggar.

After going back and forth several times, and making sure that no one was watching or following him, he left Augustus disguised as a bartender.
