Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 580 - 294: Sin City Annihilated

When the sound of this round of explosions ended, he struggled to push the body off himself and wiped the sticky, gunpowder-scented blood from his face.

"Alas, Brother Niu, what a pity."

He looked at the Minotaur, which seemed to be the one that had ambushed him earlier. Its bull’s eyes were wide open, clearly indicating it had died in disbelief.

Murmuring a few words, the silent ice crystal transmitted a cold voice: "Thank you, Other Shore, you can come back now, the next tasks no longer require your involvement."

"No." Flowers of the Other Shore was somewhat excited as they saw the task completion prompt: "The marvel is fearless of death. I want to help South Spirit City gather more information. You can execute any plans you have without worrying about my safety."

The ice crystal was silent for a long while, its previously cold tone warming slightly: "Understood, when you return, I’ll present you with the reward you desire."

"It’s as it should be, all for Dawn, so order can last forever!"

Flowers of the Other Shore declared righteously, and seeing no response from the other side, they put away the ice crystal, silently peering out from a burned building’s pit.

At this moment, the streets of Sin City still bustled with shadows, but most of these figures were injured.

This bombing had significant effects.

Swallowed another bottle of recovery potion.

Flowers of the Other Shore checked the cooldown time of the assassin’s stealth skill, and their body vanished once more.

This time heading towards the center.

From his observations over the last few days, the residences of the five Sin legislators seemed to vaguely shroud the deepest part of Sin City, where secrets surely lay.

Whoosh~

An intense sound pierced the sky.

"Again?" Flowers of the Other Shore exclaimed, turning quickly and diving into a building, shivering with fear in a corner.

The sounds of explosions grew more intense, the sharp cries of evil spirits, frantic howls, dragon wails, and mechanical operations composing the symphony of this battle.

The black mist began to consume life, the frantic howls indiscriminately attacking any existence, and the machines intentionally clearing out the small fry.

This seemed to be preparation work before the war.

Flowers of the Other Shore thought of something, gasping in realization, were those two legendary figures planning to clear all beings below legendary?

No...

Flowers of the Other Shore saw the bodies devoured by the black mist slowly moving towards its center.

Also noticed the Minotaur’s body in the house they had been in earlier being dragged by machinery deeper into Sin City.

After this round of flames ended, Flowers of the Other Shore quickly leapt onto a tall building, gazing towards the depths of Sin City.

Whoosh...

As they vaguely caught sight of something, a third cluster bomb enveloped the entire city, beginning a full-scale ground assault.

"They’re fearing something, hence... preparing something...."

Boom boom boom....

Flowers of the Other Shore quickly jumped into a damaged building, whispering to the ice crystal.

"Are you fearing that scavenger? Is there anything I can help with?"

Within the mecha, Moon Side asked, no longer using their own voice, the mechanical tone betraying no emotion.

"No need, your current target is what I desire, you just need to stay inside, our odds have dropped to 85%, but we still have absolute certainty!" Inside the mecha, light shimmered, and Yang Xiong’s voice emerged.

"Is it because Legislator Toritz is missing? Or due to South Spirit City’s involvement?" Moon Side was curious, but their tone lacked any doubt.

"You don’t need to concern yourself with that, as long as you’re in this mecha, you’ll be safe in Sin City."

After this statement, the special glow inside the mecha faded, indicating Yang Xiong had withdrawn their awareness from this place.

Moon Side sat expressionless, allowing the mecha to transport them.

On the mecha’s screen, bodies were being dragged inside, thrown into a massive instrument where extreme temperatures alternated, creating an odd spectacle.

On a separate screen was the current aerial view of Sin City.

The Golden Upper Tier Dragonman was dragged into Evil Spirit Ai Nuan’s domain and vanished, while the black mist began advancing towards the innermost part of Sin City.

Sin City had been nurtured as material by the legislators, and now it’s time to harvest.

For two full days, this harvesting continued, and only then did the massive Sin City truly perish, with hundreds of thousands of corpses converging, blood saturating the entire city.

And the black mist, on this day, expanded to a new level, the frenzied roars ceaseless yet tightly bound by the black mist.

They even witnessed some marvels, suddenly enveloped by the expanding black mist, becoming part of some material.

"Machine Yang, is it about time to start?"

A somewhat gentle female voice echoed in the empty Sin City.

Yang Xiong didn’t respond, only letting thin wisps of air continuously diffuse from the enormous machinery, gradually flowing to the depths of Sin City.

Moon Side’s eyes shifted slightly, observing the screen showing the entire Sin City from above.

Evil Spirit Ai Nuan and Yang Xiong appeared to be collaborating, but Moon Side knew this alliance would last only until the feared entity disappeared, then an internal conflict would erupt.

However, now in Sin City, the five legislators.

Madness·Maku went insane, becoming a transformed creature due to uncontrollable frenzy.

The Black Dragon died, killed by the Legendary Evil Spirit after being focused down.

The Mage disappeared when Maku erupted, leaving their dwelling, and their location is now unknown.

Finally, it’s the two legendary figures dividing Sin City among themselves.

With many corpses being devoured entirely through some special means at this moment...

Moon Side organized the information they had gathered so far, observing the screen while their AI calculated their chances of success on this venture.

After all, facing a legendary Evil Alchemical Mechanical Refiner, their AI was transparent to Yang Xiong.

As the smoke continued to drift, a visible curse gradually enveloped Sin City.

Buzz~

A heart-palpitating aura emerged, with scarlet energy following the curse into the depths.

The legislators of Sin City had gathered here for three hundred years, spending the first hundred years researching Scavenger Sed. Though unable to directly deal with Sed, they managed to weaken Sed’s connection to the Heart of the Giant.

And as long as Scavenger was not enhanced by the Heart of the Giant, if anyone reached legendary level, they would likely acquire the Heart of the Giant.

The Heart of the Giant is an energy core for a War Giant Statue, its immense power needs no further explanation.

Though only the Alchemy Sage can potentially revive the giant with the heart, for many strong individuals, its benefits extend beyond the giant.

Properly utilized, it represents infinite Divine Level energy, and even if a warrior obtained it, using the giant’s Forbidden Power to refine their body, though a bit wasteful, still makes it a supreme treasure.

Clang... Clang...

As the scarlet mist and Curse Power descended upon the deepest part of Sin City.

The sound of dragged chains grew faster and faster, charging straight into the black mist.

Roar~

A frenzied howl resounded, and the scavenger that had just entered was flung backwards, colliding hard with a mountain while dragging its cart.

Bang!

The mountain began to tremble, a more furious roar erupted.

The black mist covering half the city started to shrink, vanishing rapidly without a trace, revealing a monster standing twelve meters tall, its head covered in chaotic eyes and body filled with tendrils.

This was Moon Side’s initial mentor, the Evil Flesh and Blood Transformation Master, Maku!

He’s now completely fallen into madness, becoming a creature that only knows destruction.

Hundreds of eyes fixed on the Scavenger, a deep scar on its chest showing glimpses of a massive, rapidly beating heart.

Roar!

Maku roared again, the skin over the heart swiftly healing, and instantly lunged at Sin City’s, perhaps last, living being, Scavenger Sed!

The battle between legends abruptly erupted.

Simultaneously, Moon Side’s hand twitched slightly, contemplating the transformed creature with complex thoughts.

They still remembered, long ago, this Maku had saved them, and now... Maku seemed destined to die...

They desired to help, but that could mean the failure of their own plans....

Slowly closed their eyes, their fully mechanical body suppressing Moon Side’s emotions.
