The next day, more Extraordinary individuals arrived in the area where the Tentacle Monster was located, some were alone, and others came in groups.
However.
They were all here to check the situation; no one dared to take action against the Tentacle Monster.
After all, everyone was watching this place, whoever dared to take action first would become the public enemy, even if successful, they might not manage to keep the blood of the Divine Creatures.
"Have you found that guy’s location?" Chen Tiannan coughed as he asked, his skin was still pale, but it had improved a lot compared to before.
The injuries caused by Black Snake Hand healed unusually slowly, at this rate, he might have to withdraw from here early.
A cripple couldn’t do much, it’s better to leave early.
Rosen shook his head: "No, it seems to have left this place, but Captain Ximen Long is still leading people to search for its location."
Another group of Law Enforcers arrived here, yet Black Snake Hand disappeared at this time.
However.
They all knew Black Snake wouldn’t give up the blood of the Divine Creatures, especially for someone who had received the Divine Inheritance like him.
Rosen hesitated for a moment, and continued: "The Divine Spirit has undergone significant changes, not sure why."
During this time, Chen Tiannan occasionally fell into unconsciousness, so he was unclear about the outside situation: "What changes?"
"That Divine Spirit seems to have stopped moving since last night, as if it has taken root in the ground and sprouted more tentacles." Rosen’s expression became increasingly solemn, "That thing seems to have been nourished in some way, becoming visibly stronger at an amazing pace..."
As Extraordinary individuals, they could clearly feel the changes in Energy, sensing the tentacle monster’s energy fluctuations growing stronger and clearer from miles away.
"Becoming more powerful?" Chen Tiannan fell into contemplation, recalling that during their time in District Thirteen, this kind of change hadn’t occurred with that Divine Creature, "Has anyone actively attacked that Divine Creature? What are others saying?"
"Because the Divine Creature has exhibited overwhelming Energy fluctuations, no one has attacked it for now." Rosen continued:
"Captain Shao Lin is organizing discussions on the distribution of the Divine Creature’s blood, planning to take action before noon. After all, the Divine Spirit is getting stronger by the moment, and no one knows what will happen if this continues. They plan to unite everyone’s strength."
The news drew many people to the location, not just the reckless ones but also Freelancers who didn’t belong to any organization, often possessing formidable strength, along with members of secretive organizations.
Everyone wants their share but doesn’t want to stand out and exert effort, so they resorted to unite everyone against the Divine Spirit first.
Matters following this would be discussed later.
Su Changxing took notice of the situation over there, pondering how he might intervene, as those Extraordinary individuals coveted the heart of the Tentacle Monster, which he desired as well.
Meanwhile.
He discovered another issue, the number of Extraordinary individuals coming from other places seemed excessively high, abnormally numerous.
At least that’s how he saw it.
In the settlement near here, the most powerful Extraordinary was still Tier Eight, yet so many Tier Seven Extraneous individuals came from other places.
He was certain that there were already Tier Six Extraordinary individuals among these humans, just not at this location.
The structure of the Extraordinary hierarchy resembled a pyramid; someone always stood higher, but only a very few could reach the top, stepping over other Extraordinary individuals.
Last night, all the Zombies in the Tentacle Monster’s area died suddenly, afterward, he immediately directed more Zombies towards the area but didn’t see the human kneeling before the Tentacle Monster, seemingly taken precautions against Su Changxing’s surveillance and left.
Simultaneously.
He observed the Tentacle Monster’s body continually growing, becoming more enormous, with the writhing flesh emerging from the ground, spreading through the ruins, forming a flesh carpet.
Then, at intervals, a purple-red tentacle would stretch from the ground, likely a newly grown tentacle.
The Tentacle Monster appeared to be growing on a massive Energy cluster, constantly absorbing nutrition, its body continually growing, becoming more powerful at an astonishing speed.
Where did this Energy originate?
Su Changxing felt perplexed.
He had been monitoring the Tentacle Monster’s activities almost nonstop, even eating ten thousand Zombies and a Tier Seven Extraordinary shouldn’t lead to such drastic changes.
This isn’t scientific, nor is it Extraordinary.
From the moment he returned to this world, he sensed something was off, but hadn’t figured out exactly what.
If the main body were here, it might discover the truth, having the Eye of Data to capture the truth of the world, discovering the reality from truth’s gaps.
But he was merely a Zombie clone, lacking such formidable strength.
The blazing sun shone, and the sky was simultaneously filled with dark and ominous clouds, creating a stark contrast and an unclear sense of division.
Things that shouldn’t simultaneously exist were present, yet people didn’t feel it too unusual.
To lower-tier Extraordinary creatures, their perception was inherently hazy, as if covered by a deep black fog, unable to observe some unreasonable things.
"······"
Su Changxing fell into silence.
What might have been unclear before was now obvious even to an idiot, yet those Extraordinary individuals seemed unaware.
Over a hundred Extraordinary individuals, divided into more than ten teams, appeared in that area.
All of these were Tier Seven Extraordinary individuals, their strength varied.
Over a hundred Tier Seven Extraordinary individuals!
This seemed wrong.
The numbers didn’t match, at least half appeared out of thin air!
Su Changxing, through a Zombie, surveilled the surrounding areas, would certainly know if so many Extraordinary individuals had arrived, estimating at most forty to fifty people.
This was his maximum estimate, and realistically there might not be even forty or fifty.
"Think about it, it’s clear this is strange—a place originally without even a few Tier Eight Extraordinary now miraculously attracts so many Tier Seven? Even if so, how could there be this many... and not this quickly!"
Su Changxing pondered, his thought process gradually became clearer.
Some of these Extraordinary individuals might not truly be Extraordinary, or some humans might not truly be humans,
"This world blurs the boundaries between illusion and reality too much." he remarked, almost sighing.
Having received the Divine Inheritance, he could view the world through gaps in the Illusory Surface, discovering clues others could not.
Those over hundred Tier Seven Extraordinary individuals didn’t linger around the Tentacle Monster for long, they boldly launched their attack, causing the spatial Energy fluctuations to become chaotic.
The Tentacle Monster had drastically changed since yesterday, even against over a hundred Tier Seven Extraordinary individuals, it seemed effortless, its massive tentacles striking the surroundings, preventing them from closing in.
Then.
Accompanied by sizzling sounds.
Countless tiny pink tentacles emerged from the gaps in the ruins, spreading over miles, everywhere densely packed, even Su Changxing felt a chill, those Extraordinary individuals within instinctively felt Terror.
This Divine Spirit’s strength had far exceeded their previous expectations.
"This isn’t right, how did it become so strong." Ximen Long was among them, surrounded by flames, continuously burning the pink tentacles emerging from underground, finding this absurd; just one day without seeing this Divine Spirit, and it seemed injected with steroids.
"Captain, this isn’t working, these tentacles are too many, we might need to retreat." a female team member shouted at him.
Before they launched an effective attack, someone had already pierced by the tiny tentacles, fell among the ruins, became food for the Divine Spirit, their body rapidly dissolved and disappeared.
Such scenes deeply shocked others present.
He also thought retreat might be necessary, but saw many relentlessly attacking the Tentacle Monster, even rushing closer, seemingly fearless.
A blinding white light flashed.
A long-haired woman wielding a Scythe, with brown hair, was directly hit by the tentacle, but her body suddenly exploded, accompanied by blinding white light, piercing through the giant tentacle, creating a substantial blood hole.
Ximen Long watched the self-exploding woman stupefied, suddenly unable to recall her name or identity, felt her actions peculiar, as if deliberately seeking death.
Such forgetting was highly inappropriate for an Extraordinary.
He should remember everyone’s names.
His memory was excellent.
