I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in his fifties rushed in from outside: "Report!"

"Come in and tell me what's going on."

"Yes, sir!" The chief of staff entered the room and reported to Yan Shan.

"Ten minutes ago, we detected intense energy fluctuations in the North Bay area of ​​the western region. Satellite observation has confirmed that two sequence-level mutated species are fighting. One of them is the 'Nightmare,' whose whereabouts we tracked ten days ago; the other has never been registered."

“Another new Sequence-class…” Yan Shan said thoughtfully.

The recent sequence-level leaderboards have been updated particularly frequently.

First, "Death" was recorded, but deleted a few days later. Then, "Sea Serpent" was crossed out, only to be resurrected as a Mirage Dragon and take the top spot. After that, "Earth Rift Netherworld" died, and recently "Sky Dome" was added, ranking fourth.

Now there's another new sequence class, which isn't exactly good news.

Incidentally, "Nightmare" was originally ranked seventh, but has now fallen to eighth, ranking last.

"Where is Zhou Ye? Such a big thing, where is he?" Yan Shan called out in dissatisfaction.

Five minutes had passed since he arrived at the command post. Even if Zhou Ye was slow, he should have arrived by now, and if he was outside, news should have come.

For some reason, Yan Shan had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Report: Zhou Ye is not at his residence."

"Then find his men and ask where he is. Go quickly. Also, activate Flowlight One. I need to get there."

Yan Shan was not going to waste any more time. Battles between sequence-level beings often took a very long time to determine the outcome, but there were always exceptions.

You asked why Yan Shan was in such a hurry to get there?

That's so that he can wait until they're both exhausted before making his final appearance and reaping the benefits!

He went there with the intention of capturing both of the Sequence-class Pokémon in one fell swoop; he couldn't let either of them escape.

For a human to have such an idea, one has to admit, he truly possesses an audacious spirit!

He didn't know when it started, but in his eyes, the Rank 1 was no longer a symbol of invincibility.

Perhaps it was like this from the moment "Death" fell?

After learning of the sea serpent's demise, fighting the mirage dragon, and witnessing the death of the Earth-Splitting Netherworld, the invincible facade of the Sequence-level had long since crumbled in his eyes.

..........

"It seems I arrived at just the right time."

From a high altitude, one can see that the two Sequence-class destroyers have plowed up the land, destroying the forests and eliminating all birds and beasts.

"Nightmare" had already died in this desolate wilderness, its blood splattered all over the land, its life force completely extinguished, thanks to the reckless fighting style of another Rank-3 creature.

The Rank 1 that had never appeared before and fought against the "Nightmare" was lying on its last legs at the foot of a nearby mountain.

it's time.

Yan Shan leaped down from a height of 24,000 meters, like a yellowish-brown meteor, landing on the ground with unparalleled power.

There was no violent impact, but when he touched the earth, the entire wilderness trembled three times, welcoming the arrival of the ruler!

Yan Shan took a step forward and in the blink of an eye transformed into a giant beast over 230 meters tall, exhaling clouds and mist, radiating a magnificent and vast aura.

To ensure their elimination, Yan Shan unleashed his strongest form – the Mountain Qilin!

The mountain qilin's ferocious maw brewed a ball of earthy yellow light, which transformed into a beam of light that swept across "Nightmare".

This is to ensure that it is not a case of feigning death. After all, the vitality of sequence-level beings is frighteningly strong, so it is better to be cautious.

After confirming that "Nightmare" was completely dead, the Mountain Kirin began to walk towards the second Rank 2.

"You came."

"Huh?" The mountain unicorn suddenly took two steps back, its face showing surprise and doubt.

Suddenly, his expression changed several times before he transformed back into human form and landed near the second sequence-level mutated species.

"...Old Ye?" Yan Shan's voice trembled slightly.

"it's me."

Without a doubt, the answer came from the huge creature in front of him, and Yan Shan couldn't deny it this time.

As you can see, on the forehead of this sequence-level creature, there is the outline of a withered and ugly human face, which is vaguely recognizable as Zhou Ye's appearance before his transformation.

"...When did this happen?"

“The phenomenon was already apparent at the first meeting; otherwise, why do you think I would have proposed such a radical approach?”

Yan Shan couldn't accept it and asked excitedly, "Why don't you try? Eight of us have already succeeded, why can't you be the ninth?"

"I know my own situation well..." Zhou Ye sighed, "I'm getting old..."

"Over the decades of my life, my ambitions have long been worn away by the years, losing their former form. It's almost impossible to get through this."

"...So you're planning to abandon the country and the people?" Yan Shan asked coldly.

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhou Ye cursed. "I have lived a life without shame before the people and the country. It's none of your business to criticize me!"

"With your mentality, no wonder you'll never be able to beat me in your entire life."

"Stop talking nonsense, you've already lost."

Zhou Ye actually burst into hearty laughter, but with the enhancement of his sequence-level physical abilities, this laughter sounded like a ghost's wail, deafeningly loud:

"I killed a Sequence-class monster all by myself. Have you ever tried? Have you? No, right? I've already defeated you!"

He laughed wildly, laughing until tears streamed down his face, and countless boulders fell from the mountainside.

Yes, tears actually welled up in the eyes of a Sequence-level being.

After a long while, his laughter gradually subsided, and his words took on a hint of ferocity: "Kill me."

"......"

His sequence-level physical abilities have already begun to heal his injuries.

The reason he could still talk to Yan Shan like a normal person was because he was in a near-death state and his consciousness was exceptionally clear.

Once he recovers, he will truly die, forever reduced to a monster that only knows how to kill.

"Have you ever regretted it?" Yan Shan was speechless for a moment.

"Regret...? Never, not at all. Not before, and not now!"

"I will clear your name before the country and the people. You can go in peace."

"Hehe, I appreciate your kindness. But you should know that I value my reputation more than anyone else. I was prepared in advance. I have remotely recorded everything that happened here on my terminal. You can use it yourself. How you use this card is your choice."

"You old bastard!" Yan Shan laughed and cursed, tears streaming down his face. "Really nothing to say in the end?"

“…Yes!” Zhou Ye thought for a moment and said, “If you have the chance to see a truly peaceful and prosperous world…burn the best photo you think you have for me.”

"Alright, go ahead!" Yan Shan pressed down with his palm.

boom--

A yellowish-brown light illuminated the scene, instantly igniting the pitch-black night sky. A dazzling pillar of light shot up from the ground in a flash.

For a fleeting moment, it felt as if dawn had arrived.

"Old Ye... actually, the one who lost was you..."

Chapter Sixty-Six: Soul Heaven? Soul Heaven!

"You're really something, you've recorded everything so completely!"

After watching the video recording left by Zhou Ye, Yan Shan couldn't help but sigh.

The video was very comprehensive, recording everything from his unsteady arrival at Beiwan to Yan Shan's final understanding of his life.

If used properly, this video could be a trump card to turn the tide of the current situation!

This could also be considered Zhou Ye's last moment of shining. He not only fought to the death of a Sequence-level enemy, but also left behind a valuable trump card. His achievements are unparalleled!

"But Lao Ye, in my opinion, this is just cowardice," Yan Shan said to himself, watching the end of the video calmly.

However, when he said this, his hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white, and the veins under his bulging arms writhed like ferocious centipedes.

Suddenly, his expression froze, and he blankly placed his hands flat in front of him, palms outstretched, speechless and choked with emotion.

His muscles began to twitch irregularly, and a scorching heat, like magma, gradually intensified, turning his body surface crimson.

"This... hahaha... hahaha! After Old Ye, it's me?!"

Yan Shan laughed maniacally, tears streaming down his face. His voice was like an ancient, resounding bell, deafeningly loud.

He suddenly stopped laughing, as if he had pressed the pause button, freezing in place, making the scene look very strange.

Then, he stomped his right leg hard on the ground!

boom!

A circular shockwave emanated from him, spreading outwards and turning half of the city of Sichuan into an earthy yellow, transforming the already brightly lit city into a city of light.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the crimson color on Yan Shan's body rapidly dissipated under the heavy aura behind him, until nothing remained, leaving only an earthy yellow light flowing across his body, his breathing as swift as a dragon.

That mutated symptom that caused countless people headaches and was no different from the tolling of the death knell was actually suppressed and killed!
