Chapter 1537: Chapter 125 Spoils of War and Return

Glancing at the heavily damaged team, Tang Zheng had no time to answer, as he shot towards the infected Trojan like a heavy cannon.

Just as the Trojan got up, it took a knee strike from Tang Zheng head-on, a hit so powerful it blasted the creature into the stands five meters deep, debris scattering everywhere.

"Troublesome!" The Trojan showed no surprise or panic; as a strong enemy, having a trump card prop was not unusual. But even with Tang Zheng fully revived, to it, he had merely gone from an ant to an annoying Hornet.

In its prime, the Trojan couldn’t be killed even with the combined limit strikes of Bingxu’s and Vasily’s teams. Even now, on the brink of death, without a Fourth Order Hero, it remained unshakable.

From the eyes of the Trojan, Tang Zheng saw contempt and disdain. He originally thought he had a fighting chance and wanted to save the Mitochondrial Gene Liberation Crystal Core, but seeing the situation, he immediately took it out, crushed it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The Crystal Core melted upon entry, turning into a warm liquid that flowed into his stomach.

Boom, a vast amount of life energy overflowed from Tang Zheng’s body, scattering the debris around him, and for five minutes, he possessed the combat power of a Fourth Order Hero.

"This is bad!" For the first time, the usually composed Trojan changed its face, looking at Tang Zheng seriously. Before it had time to think of a counter, he was already in front of it.

The Trojan tried to dodge, but the Gravity Abyss created by the radiation of the White Dwarf Star immobilized it, and after a brief struggle, it took a heavy punch to the eye socket.

Tang Zheng grabbed the reeling Trojan, threw it into midair, shot out after it, and delivered a whip kick to its body, then appeared in its path of retreat to kick again.

Bang, Bang, Bang, the Trojan became like a ball, erratically bouncing in the air. It finally bled as each of Tang Zheng’s strikes pierced its body, leaving behind a trail of air ripples.

"Not enough, still not enough!" Tang Zheng entered Hero Mode, became Violent, and released the Demon Sword, reaching his strongest attacking posture.

Over a hundred military generals appeared, broke into strands of Black Mist, and shrouded Tang Zheng’s body, forming Armor. The strongest female Musketeer appeared, opened fire, and relentlessly aimed at the Trojan’s eyes and forehead, suppressing and interfering with it.

Thanks to Tang Zheng’s death, the Priest girl’s Cooldown was over, and she reappeared, spreading Halos to assist in the combat.

"Everyone, attack together!" Dantai shouted, throwing out all the ultimate abilities at once.

All sorts of skills were fired at the Trojan, fighting for the chance for Tang Zheng to kill it.

The White Dwarf Star changed the Gravity field at an incredibly fast rate, making the Trojan’s movements distorted and unbearably uncomfortable.

Boom, Tang Zheng slammed the Trojan into the ground, then descended to strike it fiercely. In the recent combat, he didn’t even have a chance to use Ada, who had the excellent effect of substituting a near-death attack.

"I’m so Lucky!" The image of Yin Shangwu flashed through Tang Zheng’s mind. He hadn’t expected that the Card she gave him when she last left the room would be an extremely rare Resurrection Card, representing a second life, invaluably precious. If Bingxu and Vasily knew about it, they might even lose face and forcibly take it.

What does death feel like? Tang Zheng couldn’t say. He didn’t even have the time to think before he plunged into endless Darkness, and he didn’t know how long it passed before he saw the light, the Coliseum, and the fierce battle of everyone.

The Trojan tried to escape, but Tang Zheng was like a Python that had bitten its prey, refusing to let go. Under his wild strikes, its body began to disintegrate.

"Do I need to rely on the sixth Ability?" Tang Zheng dodged a deadly blow from the Trojan, and after a minute of intense attack that still hadn’t brought it down, he began to consider other options.

Tang Zheng hesitated, now not daring to make extra movements, even breathing was slowed to the lowest frequency, fearing a moment of inattention would allow the Trojan to escape.

The Trojan couldn’t find an opportunity to counterattack and, infuriated, it spat blood. It wanted to curse but Tang Zheng’s fist smashed into its mouth, shattering its Teeth.

"No group killings, others stop, anyone with single-target tracking Ability, go for it!" Dantai ordered Dong Zixuan and Ruan Feifei to stop, as they were interfering with Tang Zheng’s assault.

As the Trojan’s wounds grew more severe, its resistance to the Sighing Barrier weakened, and it began to get affected.

"All in!" Tang Zheng gritted his teeth, ready to risk taking out the Star Seed to attempt to awaken the sixth Ability. If he couldn’t activate it, the gap would be enough for the Trojan to escape.

This time, Tang Zheng was finally blessed with luck from the goddess of fortune. The Trojan finally couldn’t withstand the assaults; a large part of its chest eroded like the wind, turned into Crystal, and dispersed in the air.

"A great opportunity!" Tang Zheng immediately abandoned the plan and continued the fierce assault. The high-intensity brute force combat made his blood flow quicken, his Heart thundering like war drums, and the blood vessels under his skin bursting collectively.

Covered in blood with gritted teeth, Tang Zheng delivered the final blow, and the Undamaged Lake Light Slash hit the Trojan’s Neck, sending a Skull flying.

"Hmph, you think you’ve won? It’s just a delay of death," the head-only Trojan still yelled, "I have a Secret, do you want to hear..."

Before the Trojan could finish, a barrage of attacks from everyone arrived, completely exploding it.

All returned to calm, and only after the infected Trojan turned into Sand and dissipated in the air did everyone breathe a true sigh of relief.

"It’s finally over." Pang Meiqin collapsed onto the ground, smiling at Tang Zheng.

"Who knows what it wanted to say at the end?" Jiang Xiuming reached out to adjust his glasses, only to realize they’d been knocked off long ago.

"Forget it, this guy is too tough; he might be able to kill someone just while we’re talking." Yu Deye really doesn’t want to go through that again.

The Warhammer Team was still shaken; they didn’t know that when they were infected by the Trojan and entered the Coliseum, even though they were on the verge of death, had Tang Zheng not had a Resurrection Card, it would still have been an annihilation ending.

"Sister Q probably wouldn’t harm me, but given our condition, it’s clear we can’t beat the BOSS. So, there’s only one answer left, she knew I had a Resurrection Card." Tang Zheng frowned, thinking about Sister Q’s possible identity, "Could she really be from the future?"

Tang Zheng guessed correctly; Sister Q knew his trump card, which is why she warned him in advance. In her world, this very battle, which had already happened, was too brutal.

The Bingxu Team and Vasily Team were almost annihilated, leaving only two team deputies. The Warhammer Team was also left with only the heavily injured Sister Q, and luckily for her, Silver Hair arrived in time to overturn the Trojan, or there wouldn’t be a story to follow.

"Tang Zheng, did you win? I hope this little episode can change the course of fate!" Hiding in the underground tunnel, Sister Q chewed on chocolate, watching the daylight lamp shaking from the explosion, and got distracted.

"Tang Zheng, you sure have a lot of nice things!" Dantai walked up to Tang Zheng, patted his chest, and then hugged him, patting his back vigorously.

"Yin Shangwu gave them to me." Just as Tang Zheng finished his sentence, he heard Lu Fan’s yelling.

"What are you doing? Put it down; that’s uncle’s spoils of war." Little Lolita pointed her dual guns at Yu Deye, her face full of anger.

After the Trojan died, it left behind a golden cube the size of a fist hovering in midair, which Yu Deye tried to steal but was caught by Lu Fan.

"I was picking it up for the Group Leader." Yu Deye defended himself, glancing at the hostile looks from everyone, he raised his hands, "Don’t misunderstand; I didn’t mean anything else."

"No need, I can pick it up myself." Tang Zheng reached out with one hand, and the Gravitational Field drew the cube into his grasp.

"Even the wristwatch can’t scan its material, showing unknown; it must be something good." Yu Deye licked the corner of his lips, wishing he could keep it for himself, but after assessing their combat power, he wisely abandoned the idea.

"It seems to be something even rarer than unique props." Tang Zheng’s face remained unchanged, but he was somewhat pleasantly surprised; even for the seed of a fire, the wristwatch was able to deduce a name, but this hot cube displayed nothing.

"Stop scanning." A thought struck Tang Zheng, considering a possibility, he quickly collected the spoils of war, forbidding others from inquiring, "Delete the scanning records just made."

"Qingshuang, haven’t you studied the wristwatch? What do you think? Can we hack in to modify the data?" Dantai knew Tang Zheng didn’t want the Trojan to know about the existence of the cube.

"No," Shen Qingshuang shook her head.

"Huh?" Tang Zheng couldn’t put the cube into the wristwatch; when it touched his palm, it melted into his body like a piece of ice.

"Do you feel anything?" Dantai was shocked and examined Tang Zheng up and down.

Everyone else also shifted their gaze over, concernedly looking at him.

"Nothing." Tang Zheng was unaware that what he absorbed was the Key of Time and Space, the core of the infected Trojan, which meant that in the future, the restrictions of the Silver Trojan on him in the Theme World would be further reduced.

As for his own strength, as it absorbed the Key of Time and Space, it would also climb to a higher level!

"This guy is so strong, he must be the BOSS, right? If we kill it, the mission should also be over, right?" Bai Guo rarely pondered, but his words made everyone tense.

"Amitabha, I hope no more BOSS comes." Yu Deye, who isn’t a believer, pressed his hands together in prayer.

"Don’t just stand around, heal."

With the hard work of Daylily and Gu Xueqi, Ai Yixin and a few other severely injured ones survived, were properly bandaged, and placed in the Pumpkin Carriage, enough for them to hang on until they returned to the Trojan Room.

The group sat on the ground, beginning a long wait. With the death of the Trojan, the Coliseum disappeared, and they found themselves in the ruins of Tokyo Babylon.

"Let’s go!" Tang Zheng led the team, found a hidden spot to hide, and after half an hour, while still debating whether to send out scouts to search, the long-awaited Trojan announcement finally sounded.

"Congratulations to everyone for killing the Mitochondrial Prototype, clearing Parasite’s Eve. Teleportation will commence in ten seconds."

The voice of the Silver Trojan seemed tired, having lost the mood to mock its toys.

"Please no second teleportation!" Lu Fan muttered incessantly as his body disappeared into the air.

Tang Zheng took a last look at this world, and just before his vision blackened, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure, flitting past a floor-to-ceiling window on a high building.

"Oh yeah, finally back!" Those familiar pale white walls suddenly seemed adorable, and Lu Fan cheered, running to the cube in the center of the room and slapping it, "Silver, hurry up and heal us."
