Chapter 448: Chapter 446 Deep Red Rose

The outcome was easily decided; those ferocious-looking millipede monstrosities might have appeared menacing, but they were all pushovers, easily torn to shreds by the monsters led by the Shark Warrior.

In less than two minutes of combat, the ground was littered with the corpses of the insects, and the foul-smelling insect body fluid covered the floor, the pungent stench making people feel somewhat nauseous.

In actuality, the strength of these larger millipede monstrosities was far inferior to that of the smaller parasitic ones, while each of the dozen-plus monsters under their command was valiant and adept at fighting, making it as easy to defeat them as slicing leeks.

Just as the large millipedes were about to be wiped out, the Mother of Centipedes could no longer bear it and burst through the doors of the cold storage, clambering out and emitting a bizarre screech that stunned the dozen or so sea monsters.

Then, using one of its sharp, elongated legs, it stabbed directly into the head of an octopus-like monster, skewering it.

Afterward, it violently shook its body and forced the Disaster Intermediate Sequence monster to retreat, while also taking the opportunity to kill two Disaster Level creatures.

Wen Wen discarded a pile of sunflower seed shells, then popped a small handful of seeds into his mouth, and clapped his hands, saying, "Even with a big belly, this millipede is stronger than an average Disaster Intermediate Sequence. Luckily, I didn’t go after it back then; otherwise, I’d be the one in an awkward position now."

Even as his own monsters were struggling in battle, the Shark Warrior remained unperturbed, observing his surroundings, searching for any potential traps.

After searching several more times, the Shark Warrior finally stepped into the supermarket’s area, ready to join the battle.

He had confirmed so many times and scanned every inch of soil in the supermarket from top to bottom with his senses, finding no hint of any potential traps.

Besides, if there had been any trap, it was unlikely that it hadn’t been triggered during such an intense battle.

The moment he joined the fray, the Shark Warrior immediately turned the tide on the battlefield.

His performance in combat was not particularly spectacular, simply throwing punches and kicks in a methodical fashion, but within a few blows, he had the Mother of Centipedes covered in wounds.

Each punch and kick carried immense strength; any physical contact with him inflicted injuries on the Mother of Centipedes.

The battle was so fierce that Wen Wen had no time to snack on sunflower seeds, his eyes shining as he watched the fight between the two High-Tier Powerhouses, saying, "Indeed, the reason this millipede gives off the aura of a Disaster Upper Order is mostly due to the combined effect of the smaller millipedes’ aura inside its belly."

"Its combat abilities, while stronger than an average Disaster Intermediate Sequence, still fall short in front of high-tier powerhouses."

"However, speaking of which, that guy Wu Wang really shouldn’t be underestimated. If he’s been pursued by experts of this level and has held on for so long, that’s truly terrifying."

Wen Wen wouldn’t get any closer to that supermarket until his unease completely subsided, no matter what happened.

Having worn the Custodian Badge for a long time, Wen Wen now had an extraordinary sense of danger, even without a reminder from the badge, a sense that wouldn’t let him easily fall into an inescapable perilous situation.

Yet, even sitting on a billboard dozens of meters away from the supermarket, Wen Wen still had an unsettling feeling.

Suddenly, Wen Wen’s Custodian Badge began to grow hot, a sensation that had rarely occurred since he became a Disaster Intermediate Sequence expert.

This meant that even here, he was in danger, so Wen Wen didn’t hesitate to retreat another dozen meters, which finally made the burning sensation go away.

He looked in shock at the perimeter of the supermarket. What on earth was there that he had to move this far back to feel a trace of safety?

After weakening the Mother of Centipedes to a certain extent, the Shark Warrior landed a decisive punch on its head, causing its carapace to start fracturing and the entire massive insect to collapse on the ground, lifeless.

"The one emitting an aura just like Wu Wang’s must be this guy. Then, what about the Wu Wang I saw before?"

"I have been keeping an eye on the surroundings; he shouldn’t have had a chance to escape from here. But he just vanished, such bad luck!"

Standing atop the corpse of the Mother of Centipedes, the Shark Warrior kept complaining. Suddenly, however, he realized something was wrong. His eyes widened as he looked at the body of the Mother of Centipedes, he immediately went into full defense mode, crushing a metal shield in the process.

The next second, a deep red light burst forth from the body of the Mother of Centipedes.

Centered on it, an area spanning seventy to eighty meters was engulfed by a massive explosion, buildings, ground, monsters—all were pulverized into dust by the force of the blast.

Then the smoke from the explosion formed a colossal deep red rose, hundreds of meters tall, quietly blooming in the night.

Under the gigantic red flower, Wen Wen felt an overwhelming suppression, as though he was insignificantly small. Even though he wasn’t affected, he subconsciously activated his full defenses.

This huge blossom, like the clash of strength from a Catastrophe-Level Expert, instantly drew the gaze of everybody in the city.

Salphore, looking towards the direction of the explosion, furrowed his brows, realizing for the first time that the surface world might be far more dangerous than he had thought.

Hidden Thorn, dressed in a black robe, materialized silently, staring at the red flower without a word. He then made a call.

"The situation in Hua Shan City is much more serious than anticipated; we need a True-order Master here, and the sooner the better!"

Meanwhile, Wu Wang, who was far away summoning monsters, had the corners of his mouth turned up in a fierce and maniacal grin.

He wasn’t shocked by the explosion; on the contrary, he felt an extreme sense of satisfaction, for he had orchestrated it!

He had planted a bomb on the Mother of Centipedes when it wasn’t paying attention, a bomb that would detonate upon its death!

The name of the bomb was—Deep Red Rose!

It was the ultimate weapon against monsters, secretly crafted by experts from various fields gathered by the Federal Government.

Of course, it could also be used against superpower users.

The Federal Government, despite its immense authority, was helpless against the endlessly emerging Supernatural Beings and had to rely on the Hunters Association.

The higher-ups had long wanted to break free from this predicament, which was why the Deep Red Rose came into existence. There weren’t many of these bombs, and they had hardly ever been used in official circumstances.

But according to the test results, the bomb’s power was mighty, capable of virtually destroying any Disaster Intermediate Sequence monsters or superpower users.

And hidden within the bomb was a special substance that could invade Supernatural Power. Even a Disaster Upper Order expert, if unprepared and hit, had a high likelihood of instantly dying.

Even if they didn’t die, they would still be extremely weakened for a period of time.

Yet even so, the bomb’s effectiveness was not satisfactory, as it was developed by the Federal Government to combat Catastrophe-Level threats...

But the result it ultimately showed couldn’t even trouble a True-order Master.
