Chapter 190: 014. Yo! Tutor Li Aozi, we admire you and your words!

"Are you afraid of getting hurt?"

The exclusive event for the Redemption System slowly raised its curtain.

After the scene transitioned, the camera for the first time shifted away from the battlefield and focused on a street infused with the style of Sky Ring Country.

"Prime Minister Park Jung-soon, step down! Sky Ring Country doesn’t need another butcher!"

The students of Sky Ring raised banners and torches high, formed teams, and chanted with conviction:

"Houjo Clan’s security forces landing on the Hameda Archipelago is a shameless invasion!"

"Shameful war criminals!"

"The people of Sky Ring have had enough of war!"

"Punish the Houjo Clan! Break up the conglomerates! Stop the war!"

Confronted with the indignation of the masses, the riot control troops of Sky Ring impatiently pushed their police cars forward, using high-pressure water cannons to disperse the crowd. The anti-war protesters were knocked to the ground in a dense mass. Afterward, Houjo Heavy Industries’ private security team arrived at the scene. They violently stormed into the crowd, brought in armored vehicles, and aimed vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns at civilians, pulling the trigger.

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat—

Blood was spilled liberally, corpses strewn everywhere as the protesting public was torn to shreds by the harsh metal storm. Gunshots rang out loudly, throwing the crowd into panic. They scrambled to retreat and flee, quickly turning into an inverse stampede that surged into the main traffic routes, colliding with cars, leading to a severe trampling incident. A row of people fell, and another row piled on top of them, stacking three or four layers high.

As people frantically fled the chaos, the crowd gradually retreated, revealing a mother caught in the middle, repeatedly trampled upon, yet still firmly bracing herself with both arms to protect her child.

Clank-clank...

The tracks turned slowly, the turret rotated toward the street, and it took aim at the mother and child lying before it.

Boom!

The flash of fire, the rotating shell flew out, dust and smoke billowing up, about to completely engulf the mother and child when suddenly a shield crashed down!

Bang!

The shield, embedded into the earth like a fortress, blocked that round of cannon fire. A man whose bulk was unimaginable to mankind slowly turned his head, knelt on one knee, and held the gaze of the crying boy. His pitch-black face armor snapped open to reveal a face that was steady and resolute:

"Stand behind me, and you won’t get hurt again!"

The man’s face was as expressionless as marble, and even a robot could seem emotive compared to him. His voice was as resonant and powerful as a synthesizer, devoid of any emotion fluctuation, yet his words were warmer than sunshine.

He reached out his hand, and from him burst golden energy fragments, the flickering life force quickly healing the surrounding crowd that had been severely injured by the stampede.

"It’s you!"

Li Aozi’s eyes brightened instantly, and he leaned forward eagerly. This man was the teammate he had been longing for.

"’Black Knight’ Gretto Yegg—Not only the most robust Judge, but he has also evolved into a C3 Luca Type of the Cosmic Human Race."

"The man with the best talent on Azure Star, who has gone the furthest."

Gretto Yegg, a person of the Outer World from Sky Ring, was also a member of the international camp of the Resistance Army from the Outer World.

He held a title that truly suited him—’The most reassuring man of Azure Star.’

The appearance of a hero from the Redemption System electrified the players, sparking enthusiastic cheers and discussions to surge once again.

Under the Redemption System, there are three occupations: Doctor, Priest, and Judge—all of which utilize their far superior life force in conjunction with technologies/magic to save others.

The mentor of Doctors is Sebastian von Muller from the Red Arrow Empire. This occupation is a typical product of science, with strong mobility, engaging in combat with firearms. They are adept at emergency medicine, especially battlefield aid. By using drugs and catalysts, they can quickly restore someone’s ability to fight, but they often leave behind aftereffects.

In contrast, the Priest mentor Mostert Van Loot, also from the Red Arrow Empire, demonstrates a more powerful saving capability—as long as death isn’t immediate, even if half the body is gone, he can still bring someone back. However, it requires extremely strict rituals and a safe environment. They wield a Life Aura that can effectively remove diseases and negative effects, making them a main commander in the team.

Judges, however, forsake long-range firepower and rely on far greater Strength and Constitution than the other branches. Their method of healing mainly involves beating opponents, their cells releasing more vibrant life force triggered by intense emotions during combat. Judges will directly don heavy armor, take up shield and firearms, fend off enemies, protect and heal teammates, and shield them from harm.

Next, we are introduced to the occupations within the Raiding System, which, unlike the others, has no mentor.

Due to the high randomness of the Raiding System, officials chose to intersperse and showcase the interesting gameplay of Plunderers and Gamblers, highlighting the features of ’luck’ and ’harvest,’ which also revived the interest of many players.

All this time, the fact that Li Aozi from the Dominator System had not yet appeared didn’t make him anxious; in fact, he grew more excited.

Destroyer, Mysterious, Fine Artistry, Redemption, Raiding—the last one is naturally Dominator.

Putting him last clearly proved that the Dominator System was regarded as the finale by the officials.

Moreover, the Dominator System was different from the other occupations; there was only one occupation, and that was Mutant.

This meant that the mentor of the Dominator System would enjoy an equal demonstration duration as the other five systems combined.

The venue fell into tranquility, and the live comments started to anticipation.

’The last one should be the Dominator System, right? I’ve seen the official leaks.’

’The name sounds pretty cool, but the theme color is red and black, which I don’t really like.’

’My heart has been stolen by the Redemption System’s Judge, and I won’t consider any other choices for the rest of my life.’

’I’ll definitely choose Mechanic, to show you what a new human looks like!’

In the midst of the noise, a sound gradually began to resonate in the quiet venue.

Thump, thump... Thump, thump...

The intense heartbeat started, keeping pace with the beat of the music, accelerating and causing the audience’s emotions to surge.

’Who will the Dominator System’s mentor be? A Red Arrow person?’

’It couldn’t possibly be from Sky Ring, could it? I haven’t heard any mention of a country that excels in the Dominator System occupation.’

’Quiet down! This is important.’

Just as the audience’s patience was being worn thin, a familiar male voice came from the venue:

"Gravity, death, to you, they are synonyms."

The next moment, light shone brightly.

There was Du Zexin, who had just been operating a mecha with precise movements and covering fire, now kneeling in a sea of red and black blood.

The Bayo Kong stood towering like a Giant God, ferocious and raucous, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.

The sea of blood churned, the Giant God stood tall, and especially the recently highly popular Mechanic mentor, Du Zexin, was now only able to clean up the malformed biochemical soldiers on the ground.

The audience was stunned.

’What’s going on?’

’Hey, doesn’t that voice sound familiar?’

The camera slowly panned upwards, towards the man who had spoken.

"Ersha to me is nothing more than a servant, not worth mentioning, yet you treasure it as if it was precious."

Li Aozi crossed his arms in front of his chest, his legs apart, and said mockingly:

"Watch carefully, this is true Gene Dominance!"

On the side of the screen, the text clearly revealed the man’s identity to the 13.4 billion viewers:

"Mutant under the Dominator System—Li Aozi."

His facial muscles tore open, revealing gaps that were then covered by the crimson inner membrane, red and black crystals cleverly concealed the tears, and spikes of the same color grew out from his arms. His neck veins pumped with black liquid that hardened his chest bones, which grew rapidly, piercing the skin and draping in calcified armor.

Overseer Form activated.

DOMINATE EVERYTHING.

The officials simply introduced:

Mutants have unlocked the potential of their body’s genes, thereby truly obtaining their own unique ’Arcane Energy.’

They can choose and gradually take control of the direction of their gene’s evolution and possess the Overseer Form, which fully unleashes their strength.

Control genes, control the body, grasp fate, dominate everything.
