"Captain... This is quite strong..."

Ye Feng held a telescope and watched the battle on the coal transport ship from afar, some stray bullets even flew near the yacht.

At this moment, He Ao and Balan were moving quickly on deck, smashing one helicopter after another.

Up until now, several minutes had passed, and not a single helicopter on the entire deck had taken off, not even the spare speedboats, which were all shattered by He Ao’s swift strikes.

He was truly, on his own, suppressing the entire pirate group in combat.

"Indeed..."

The Speech Master also held up a telescope and swallowed hard.

At first, everyone was on edge, but as time passed,

they realized that their acting captain was truly as powerful as a divine being.

"What is the captain wearing? Is that Mecha? It looks so cool."

Ye Feng still held the telescope, somewhat amazed, "Is this something we can make now?"

"It must be a Transcendent item," the Speech Master pondered for a moment, "He changed into that thing last night when he was showing it to Nini, so it’s mostly brought from the ruins. It’s not surprising to bring out anything from the ruins."

----

He Ao’s fight was gradually becoming more balanced, but he still found time to destroy the helicopters and speedboats that tried to take off.

This was the advantage of the Mecha, useful at both short and long ranges, full-force output, capable of dealing with smaller scale troops.

However, the coal transport was still steadily approaching the cruise ship, and when it got close enough, the pirates wouldn’t even need helicopters or speedboats; they could just throw grappling hooks onto the ship’s side and leap across.

And those injured crew members couldn’t withstand another assault.

Therefore, He Ao had to resolve the situation with Balan in the very short time as the coal transport drew close to the cruise ship.

Balan, in his frenzied state, attacked more and more ferociously, even smashing several joints of the Mecha.

Of course, Balan himself wasn’t in great condition either, his body bathed in blood, his hair disheveled, and in his frenzy, he seemed tireless and without pain.

Finally, his attacks slowed down a bit.

This wasn’t because the effects of his frenzy were wearing off, but because his physical strength was failing.

Although frenzy allowed him to ignore pain and fatigue, the energy within his body was finite, and when it was spent, it was truly spent.

Now was the time!

He Ao concentrated all his abilities into his arms, pushed them to overdrive, and with motions swift as a shadow, he thrust his sword!

"Ah!!!"

Balan let out a fierce roar and dodged to the side, trying to avoid the thrust.

But it was too late, the tip of He Ao’s sword had already pierced his chest; his dodge only caused He Ao’s sword tip to deviate slightly, scraping past his heart and impaling his body.

Blood glowing with an orange hue slowly flowed down the pure white sword blade, dropping onto the deck.

"You... can’t... kill me... hostages... I..."

The orange glow on Balan’s body gradually faded, the madness in his expression waned, and as he lifted his head to look at He Ao, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, speaking in choppy Central Earth language.

Then he slowly reached into a deeply hidden pocket in his clothes.

He Ao watched his movements, grasping the bone sword.

A pristine white remote was slowly taken out by Balan, his finger resting on the button, seemingly ready to press it the moment He Ao made a move,

"Bomb... if you... kill me... then... detonate..."

"A detonator?"

He Ao lifted his head to glance at the remote controller held up by Balan.

"Detonator..."

Balan watched him, a faint smile curling on his lips.

He Ao’s sword had not pierced his heart, he would survive if he received timely medical attention.

Unfortunately, He Ao’s face was hidden beneath his armor, so he couldn’t see He Ao’s expression.

He enjoyed threatening those so-called ’good people,’ taking pleasure in their infuriated expressions as they were forced to give up everything to save hostages unrelated to them just when they thought they had won.

"I forgot to mention to you,"

He Ao approached Balan, lowering his voice.

Then suddenly, Balan felt the weight in his hand lighten, and the detonator he had been tightly gripping had vanished without a trace.

The other hand, now holding the detonator, He Ao laughed softly and slowly pulled out the bone sword, "Actually, I’m a Mage."

Retrieve objects from the air!

Balan’s face stiffened. A Mage? What kind of Mage? A Mage in armor engaged in close combat, wielding a bone sword, stabbing people?

He extended his hand, attempting to press the detonator in He Ao’s hand.

But in an instant, his movement froze.

The sharp bone sword pierced his chest once again, this time accurately and fatally piercing his heart.

He Ao put away the detonator and replaced it with a small red-and-gold box, the Pirate Treasure Box.

He held the Pirate Treasure Box up in front of Balan, not speaking, just gazing at him.

Balan looked at the box and reached out to open it, but He Ao withdrew slightly, moving the box away.

Fresh red blood spilled from the corners of Balan’s mouth; his mouth gaping, he fixed his gaze on the box and eventually ceased to breathe.

He Ao pulled out the bone sword, allowing Balan’s corpse to tumble to the ground.

Considering Balan’s recent actions, it seemed he could have opened the box.

However, based on the box’s previous brazen attraction for others to open it, it seemed there was likely a price to pay for those who tried.

Does the box choose its user?

At that moment, a message from the Pirate Treasure Box entered He Ao’s mind.

He Ao was momentarily stunned.

The box truly does choose its user.

Its original owner was Balan, and after killing Balan, He Ao became its new owner.

Consequently, the information about its use was transmitted into He Ao’s mind.

Its capabilities were also somewhat special, and He Ao decided to study it after the incident was concluded.

He Ao stored the Pirate Treasure Box away, touching the Miracle Wand in the process.

The progress had shifted from 1/5 to 2/5.

Balan was truly dead.

At the same moment, the Adam 1 mecha had run out of power and detached from He Ao, reconfiguring into a suitcase.

He Ao slung the bone sword on his back, carrying the suitcase in one hand and lifting Balan’s corpse with the other hand.

He slowly walked toward the pirates who were still pointing their guns at him.

Now devoid of any armor, bullets could harm his flesh, but not a single person dared to fire.

They watched He Ao carrying his Leader’s body step-by-step, the fresh red blood flowing down his arms, soaking his body.

As if he were a living demon god.

As if the lord of demons had descended from heaven, truly a divine being of the human world.

The pirates looked on, becoming stupefied by the spectacle.

Then one person raised their gun, followed by a second, a third.

Guns were raised one after another, as one individual after another knelt on the ground.

He Ao walked around the entire deck until all the pirates had given up resistance before he threw Balan’s corpse onto the deck.

"Boom——"

A clap of thunder exploded in the sky, and the flashing lightning illuminated He Ao’s blood-stained body.

At this moment, between heaven and earth, it seemed as if there was only this towering presence.

The pirates, scared out of their wits, dropped their weapons and prostrated themselves.

Whooosh——

The sound of giant propellers stirred the air.

A helicopter parked at the edge of the deck quickly spooled up and took off.

He Ao looked up and could vaguely make out a figure in the cockpit, wrapped in bandages.

Hu Wen.

This guy had been playing dead the whole time, and now, seeing that He Ao’s mecha had retracted and he seemed to lack air control capabilities, Hu Wen started the helicopter in an attempt to flee.

At that moment, something unexpected occurred. Pirates near the helicopter suddenly raised their guns and shot at Hu Wen’s helicopter.

But their aim was poor and didn’t hit any vital parts; instead, the helicopter climbed higher and higher.

He Ao looked at these pirates whose actions had suddenly become strange with confusion, shook his head, and gently raised his hand.

The Miracle Wand appeared in his hand.

The Miracle Wand held three C-level miracles, ’Blazing Flame Burn,’ ’Silence Concealment,’ and

Thunder Flash!

He Ao used this C-level miracle.

Shimmering lightning once again filled the sky, and this time, it descended directly from heaven, drawing a massive line of brilliance between earth and sky, instantly piercing through the helicopter still in flight.

The mighty power of nature shattered the entire helicopter, and the pilot was knocked out, flung into the air, and dropped onto the deck.

Those pirates lying on the ground glanced at the sky rolling with thunder and rain, then looked at He Ao.

A string of gibberish He Ao couldn’t understand kept ringing out; the pirates crawled and knelt before He Ao as if worshiping a divine being.

...

He Ao found himself somewhat unable to understand what these pirates were thinking.

He decided to ignore them and quickly walked to the edge of the deck.

This was where Hu Wen had fallen.

By the time He Ao arrived, he saw a somewhat charred ’corpse’ lying on the deck, seemingly breathless.

He Ao looked at the Miracle Wand in his hand, the progress bar for the B-level miracle ’Mountain Collapse Tsunami’ still read 2/5.

Then he put down the Miracle Wand and took out the Puppet Crystal Ball.

He aimed at Hu Wen on the ground.

In that moment, Hu Wen’s body stiffened, and he turned over with a carp’s leap, overturning towards the sea.

But He Ao’s mental strength was not as weak as the Tomb Guardian’s, and Hu Wen’s current state was much worse than He Ao’s had been earlier.

Hu Wen’s turning movements became more and more rigid and slow, yet he continued to roll bit by bit.

Eventually, he rolled over the side of the ship.

In the instant before he was about to fall into the sea, he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed hold of the ship’s edge, and then flipped back onto the deck.

He Ao watched the somewhat charred ’Hu Wen’ in front of him, and ’Hu Wen’ also watched him.

At that moment, He Ao once again experienced the sensation of his vision being split.

Ultimately, He Ao successfully controlled Hu Wen, turning him into his first C-level puppet.

Unlike controlling the Tomb Guardian’s corpse, this time He Ao received some fragmented memories from Hu Wen.

Most of it was about killing.

Cruel killing.

Hu Wen’s pleasure lay in watching people struggle in desperation before finally dying.

The number of people who had died at his hands was countless, and even He Ao found the bloody scenes to be slightly shocking.

If it had been a normal person with poor mental resilience, such memories might have driven them insane.

That’s why... Hu Wen had become a wanted criminal in various countries.

He Ao sorted through the memories in his mind, searched through those cruel and crazy recollections, and finally found some useful information.

Hu Wen’s Talent was ’Ruthless Bandit’, but this Talent wasn’t innate; it had evolved. His original Talent was the D-level ’Thug’.

By a stroke of luck, in the ruins, he encountered the corpse of an exotic beast that drew him in. Under his instincts’ control, he consumed all the core parts of the corpse and, after intense agony, advanced to become a C-level ’Ruthless Bandit’.

Consuming a corpse...

Such an act would likely have a high mortality rate, and it was clear that Hu Wen’s mental state was already somewhat twisted.

He Ao wondered whether the Research Institute had any knowledge related to the Secret Medicine or the extraction of Talent Sequences.

He Ao pulled back his thoughts, briefly organized Hu Wen’s memories, and then gazed at the Hu Wen before him.

Of course, the perspective of ’Hu Wen’ was also looking at him.

Then He Ao suddenly realized that from Hu Wen’s viewpoint, he looked rather handsome...

Wait a second... how could one tell he was handsome with a takeout bag of Kaifeng dishes in hand?

He Ao pondered for a moment, raised his left hand, and looked at the Multicolored Ring on it.

The Multicolored Ring could change the wearer’s outfit at will, at the cost of an uncontrollable charm effect that affected everyone indiscriminately and grew stronger the longer it was worn.

It seemed the Multicolored Ring was having an effect.

But now, the accumulated effect of the ring had reached the point where even C-levels could be slightly influenced, hadn’t it?

At that moment, a flash of electricity streaked across, reflecting off He Ao’s blood-stained clothes. With the augmentation of enchantment, a mixture of ferocity and sanctity imparted a vast and inviolable aura.

He Ao approximately understood why the pirates had knelt down; the charm had reached a level that could slightly affect C-levels. For ordinary people, it could likely influence their mental state to some extent.

In their eyes, He Ao may indeed appear akin to a Divine Being.

However, once He Ao left and the charm wore off, they should gradually come to their senses.

Right now, the primary concern was the injuries on Hu Wen.

Hu Wen was seriously injured twice and struck by He Ao’s Thunder Flash; he was now truly in critical condition.

There were two transcendent items on Hu Wen.

One was a silver earring called ’Breath Concealing Earring,’ hanging on his left ear. This earring could hide all signs of life for a short time, making him appear like a real corpse. The side effect was that the longer the life signs were concealed, the weaker they became until, after a certain period, he would truly die.

The other was his silver-finished steel dagger. This dagger, known as the ’Nightfall Dagger,’ could absorb an enemy’s life force, enhance his own power, and increase his recovery ability. However, the more life force absorbed, the more he was influenced by the deceased, leading to increasingly chaotic thoughts.

Hu Wen was able to quickly regain his mobility also because of this dagger, using it to kill many sea fish and absorb their life force.

The earring was C-level, capable of concealing the Qi of a C-level, while the dagger was top-tier D-level, able to absorb the life of only D-level beings at most.

With these earring and dagger, Hu Wen had escaped capture many times and survived numerous dangerous situations.

But with his injuries now so severe, relying solely on the dagger to absorb the life of sea fish wasn’t enough; he at least needed some emergency bandaging and suturing.

So He Ao allowed Hu Wen to attack him, and after exchanging a couple of moves, He Ao let Hu Wen escape into the sea ’unaware’.

He Ao ’searched’ around briefly, didn’t find anything, then quickly went to the bridge to signal the crew to turn the ship around to parallel the cruise liner but not to get close.

He then found a crew member who could barely understand Central Earth language and gathered all the pirates together.

In the meantime, ’Hu Wen,’ taking advantage of everyone’s distraction, climbed aboard from the other side, entered the medical room for a bath, sutured his wounds, applied medicine, donned a diving suit to keep seawater out of his wounds, and jumped into the sea.

Almost simultaneously, the Speech Master also climbed aboard the cargo ship.
