Chapter 61 My World (Part 12)

Inside the tavern.

A burly man covered in guns and ammunition was complaining about not having any alcohol. The boss placed a bowl of beans, a plate of sliced ​​beef, and half a dried-up fruit on his table.

But this guy only took one bite of the fruit and then pushed the rest of the fruit to the ground.

"Too tough! If you don't bring more drinks soon, I'm smashing this place up!"

The waiters working in the store were all scared away, and the pitiful owner hid behind the bar, too afraid to make a sound.

After a while, six people came in from outside. They were all wearing white robes that blocked the wind. They knew each other and sat down with the guy who had been making a ruckus earlier.

"As requested by that sir, we have brought the items."

Those who were seated looked at everyone as if they were about to unleash a storm, and took a long time to prepare their words.

"Distribute the weapons we brought to everyone, one for each person. Today, we're going to turn this city upside down!"

The person who came in dumped a large bag of things onto the table; they were all scattered parts, but each item looked very fine.

These seven people assembled a bunch of parts into strangely shaped weapons: gauntlets that could shoot crescent-shaped blades, crossbows equipped with mechanisms, and claws that could extend indefinitely.

One guy took the lead, scraped his hand with a small knife he was carrying, and everyone followed suit, scraping their hands as well, and the blood from the seven samples came together.

"For the Diamond rank!"

"For the Diamond rank!"

Just then, the tavern door was kicked open, the hinges broke, and after swaying gently in the wind for a moment, it fell down with a 'crack'.

Two professional heroes stood outside the door: Glutton and Catwoman.

Gunshots rang out immediately, and all sorts of fancy weapons flew around the tavern, smashing tables and chairs into saucer shapes.

The ceiling was filled with dust from the shock, and the tavern owner fainted after only a few glances.

The door, which had been opening and closing, finally opened, and a gust of wind blew in, carrying away a row of rough crystal items and silver-based tableware.

The glutton and the catwoman were outnumbered and were about to be overwhelmed by the seven tall and strong prisoners.

Suddenly, a gleaming axe flew into the tavern, severing the central antique chandelier. The chandelier struck the tallest prisoner, who swayed and struggled for a moment before collapsing to the ground as if overloaded.

The axe returned to the hero's hands, and the Berserker arrived just in time with two new heroes.

"who?"

The remaining six prisoners all pointed their guns at the door.

With a dark expression, the Berserker kicked open the door, held his twin axes in front of his chest, and spun them around like a whirlwind, blocking all the attacks.

One of the prisoners was accidentally hit by the rebounding attack, and his tongue slagged out as if he were sick.

Another decided to run behind the pillar, but was caught by the catwoman hiding behind the pillar, had his spine broken, and fell onto the seemingly comfortable chair, spitting out frightening bubbles.

Four prisoners remained, raising their weapons only to find they were unusable! A row of saliva had appeared on them, having digested several key parts of the equipment.

While the heroes drew fire, Billy stepped onto the table, leaped into the air, and fired four bullets, taking down four enemies.

"Well done, Agent!"

"This is thanks to everyone's unity and cooperation."

The fight in the tavern was over in less than three minutes.

Number Thirty-Three then slowly arrived from outside. As soon as he entered the house, the signboard behind him fell down.

Outside the gate, a molten gold-like object disintegrated from the steel ring, pouring down to a spot in the desert where it grew into a beehive about 500 meters high.

A large number of modified life forms flew out of the hive, swarming towards the city like locusts.

Although they are not formidable opponents, their numbers are simply too great, and the heroes who protect the city alone are far from sufficient to handle them.

Berserker adjusted the laser beam on his battle axe to maximum, preparing to go out and fight, when a hero with a glowing body suddenly appeared in mid-air.

This guy was wearing a tailor-made bodysuit with a row of initials on the uniform. Facing countless enemies, he remained calm and composed, as if he had grown up in the midst of great storms.

Billis thought this guy's entrance was really cool!

However, this hero likes to wear a completely airtight helmet, as if he's afraid of being seen by others.

"It's the captain! We have hope!" Berserker suddenly looked at him with admiration.

“Who?” Billis couldn’t pretend he hadn’t heard.

"Number one on the leaderboard, Diamond-level hero, Shining Justice."

Why did you show us his back?

"How can you become a spiritual leader of heroes if you don't act cool?"

"Hey, you're absolutely right."

Just as Billis and Berserker were commenting on their number one elder brother, glittering seeds of light appeared a hundred meters away.

The more seeds of light accumulate, the stronger the shining justice becomes.

He is a hero who can absorb sunlight and use light to fight against darkness.

The enemy seemed to be on a sandbox, being pushed down and reassembled by light, gradually entering a state of energy backlash until it was completely annihilated.

The vast desert presents an endless beauty.

Above the Iron Ring, a tiny human is hatching from a holographic egg.

The madman who called himself a hacker reappeared, looking like he was in great pain, convulsing from the agony. The series of counterattacks just now seemed to have enraged him.

"Look what you've done to my men! I spent a whole year training these bugs, couldn't you even spend a little more time playing with them? It was all over in just one day!"

The whole city was listening to the hacker's speech, and Billis was listening too, listening more attentively than anyone else.

"Maybe you think that defeating me will allow you to climb to the Diamond rank? Well, come and try it. I'll be waiting for you here. Don't come one by one. Bring your best heroes, or I'll be unhappy!"

A flash of light struck the target, and the image began to blur, likely lasting only half a minute at most.

The hacker was furious, enraged, and started smashing and tearing things apart.

"You don't know that I'm actually saving the city! Saving the world! You don't know the consequences of breaking the balance! You don't know!"

But in the few seconds before the image disappeared, his emotions seemed to suddenly stabilize.

"You are the shining justice, aren't you? Remember him well, remember him for a lifetime, never forget him."

The screen disappeared.

A freezing rain began to fall over the city, soaking the lute. Number Thirty-Three shivered as if stung by a poisonous stinger.

The moon-like planet is nearing its waning crescent, seemingly dying in the vastness of space, with no strength left to even fade away.

Reconnaissance planes continued to patrol the skies above the city, and a searchlight illuminated the lute.

Immediately afterwards, several heroes carrying parachutes surrounded the tavern from high above.

"We've finally found you! They're the hackers who killed the Shrike!"

The one who shouted was Infinite Gravity, with four new companions flanking her on either side. These four looked like they had just joined the team.

The first hero to land, wearing skateboard shoes, felt he should make a good impression in the face of the dazzling infinite gravity. He glared at the bard with eyes like an owl and spoke without any politeness.

"Do you need me to send you to jail? Or do you want to walk there yourselves?"

Before he could finish speaking, the second hero who landed also repeated the same words in order to attract the attention of infinite gravity.

"This time it's not that prison in the sky, it's underground."

The third and fourth heroes who landed were probably trying to please the women, completely disregarding their status, and immediately pulled out their guns and pointed them at the bard and Beris.

"Team leader, we've caught those two hackers. Should we avenge Shrike?"

The air froze, and a pale green gas appeared, which turned dark red in the blink of an eye, crawling slowly forward along the floor like a thief.

Wherever the toxic gas passes, even a table will rot beyond recognition.

Among them was a hero who used poison gas.

By the time the infinite gravity retracted the parachute, the poison gas had already enveloped the tavern.

Just then, the communication device in Infinite Gravity rang: "They're not hackers, let them go."

Upon hearing this sound, Infinite Gravity suddenly jumped up excitedly from the ground, a joy on his face that made the four heroes feel inferior.

"It was the shining justice that called me! My idol, what did you just say?"

"They are not hackers, I guarantee it."

"But that musician killed the shrike by cheating, I saw it with my own eyes."

"The characters in the game can't be truly killed, and we can't wrong any innocent person. There's only one enemy we need to fight together. Tomorrow afternoon, at the pyramid, everyone assemble."

The communication device was not disconnected, but the other end suddenly stopped talking.

Infinite Gravity was a little indignant; if it were anyone else, she would definitely be furious.

But the shining justice is the spiritual leader in the hearts of every hero, and she cannot refuse the voice of her idol.

"I'll do whatever you say, but I have to stay with them just in case."
