My Talent Skill Mutated

The towering phantom roared. Invisible power gathered, forming a powerful defense that blocked Chen Yu’s punch.

”Heh heh, Chen Yu. You want to kill me? You’re not worthy!”

The old man sneered savagely as light erupted from the phantom. In the next instant, it counterattacked.

BANG!!

Chen Yu was thrown back as a powerful shockwave radiated outward.

”Hm? A little interesting,” Chen Yu’s voice rang out. ”But before a god, your little tricks are meaningless.” In the next breath, his figure vanished once more.

He appeared above the old man in an instant. With a casual lift of his hand, a terrifying Force Field formed and began to constrict.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!!!

The phantom’s light flickered, squeezed by the powerful Force Field. It seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

’Not good.’

The old man was shocked. Just as he was about to make a move, he was already a step too late.

BOOM!!!

The powerful Force Field instantly crushed the phantom.

PFFT...

The old man sprayed a mouthful of blood, and the aura around him dissipated.

WHOOSH!

With a flicker, Chen Yu vanished again. A second later, his hand was clamped around the old man’s neck, his eyes filled with a profound, knowing gaze.

”Mortal, this is the price for angering a god.”

The old man: ?

CRACK—!

With a sickening snap, the old man’s vision blurred, and his consciousness sank into darkness.

’Is... this what death feels like...?’

A final thought surfaced, and then endless darkness swallowed his consciousness.

Chen Yu released his hand. The old man on the ground was motionless.

After dealing with the old man, Chen Yu’s gaze shifted to the distance.

”These beasts can enhance a god’s power. I can’t let them go to waste.”

The words had barely left his lips when his figure vanished.

—

In just half a day, eighty percent of the once-bustling Tang City had been destroyed.

Farmland and city buildings had been annihilated over a massive area.

The power plants were destroyed. Countless beast carcasses lay strewn across the city, interspersed with the bodies of many humans.

Smoke and dust filled the sky, a thick haze ravaging the landscape.

It was a hell on earth as far as the eye could see.

The former prosperity was gone, replaced by ruins everywhere.

The people of Tang City were unfortunate, yet in a way, they were also lucky.

The beast tide had finally been stopped; all the beasts had been eliminated.

Although a heavy price was paid, at least half of the people were still alive.

For half the population to survive the sudden outbreak of a beast tide was nothing short of a miracle.

And the survivors of Tang City, having endured this beast tide, would emerge all the stronger for it.

After disaster comes rebirth!

Helicopters appeared in the sky, carrying aid from other cities.

The beast tide was dealt with, but the remaining problems were still immense.

However, the government was quick to act, and various forms of aid from other city-level safe zones arrived swiftly.

...

At the same time, within a suburban manor in a large safe zone in the East Asian Region of Great Xia...

...several pairs of eyes were fixed on a virtual projection in a luxurious room on the top floor of the villa.

A tense, oppressive atmosphere filled the room.

Among these figures, one was not human. It had black skin and a long tail with a triangular tip. It was clearly a member of the Dark Spirit Race.

”Chairman Bai, this was your plan?” At last, the silence in the room was broken. The member of the Dark Spirit Race was looking at a portly, middle-aged man.

At the Dark Spirit’s question, the portly middle-aged man turned pale, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

”One of my kinsmen died because of your plan. Chairman Bai, don’t you think you owe my race an explanation?”

The member of the Dark Spirit Race stared at him, his gaze icy. The temperature in the air seemed to drop.

”My apologies, my lord. It was an accident. I never expected this outcome. We lost people too. This was a completely unforeseen event,” the portly man said, forcing himself to remain calm.

”An accident? You think that one word absolves you? Every member of the Dark Spirit Race is precious. Are you comparing them to your lowly Human Race?”

The Dark Spirit glared at the portly man and berated him harshly. A powerful aura instantly erupted, compressing the very air in the room.

The faces of the other people in the room instantly turned pale, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

”Sir, what is the meaning of this? Do you really believe I intended for this to happen?” Chairman Bai’s expression darkened, and his own aura flared to meet the pressure as he stared down the member of the Dark Spirit Race.

”What, Chairman Bai? Thinking of rebellion?” the Dark Spirit asked, his eyes narrowing as the tail behind him swayed slowly.

”Rebellion?”

”Leica, don’t you forget, the Divine Authority Council is not something your Dark Spirit Race can just push around. We of the Human Race have a saying: even a worm will turn. Don’t push things too far. This is a partnership, nothing more.”

The portly man spoke coldly.

”Hahahahaha! No need to get so worked up, Chairman Bai. I was just asking,” Leica suddenly boomed with laughter, his powerful aura retracting in an instant.

Seeing this, the portly man’s aura also dissipated.

”So, what are your plans now, Chairman Bai?” the Dark Spirit asked.

Chairman Bai replied, ”I need to investigate this thoroughly. For now, we may have to halt all operations. We might even need some support from your people.”

The Dark Spirit lowered his head in thought for a moment before looking at the portly man and nodding lightly. He then pointed a finger at the image of the young man on the screen. ”Fine. We’ll do it your way. But I want all information on this young man from the Human Race. Everything you can find.”
