Chapter 576 - 369: Power of Divine Blessing
In the central area of Crown Plaza, the towering relief pillars were adorned with flowers, and the flags symbolizing the World Government stood tall around, fluttering in the wind, narrating the authority and dignity of the officials.
This place was already packed with people, with a welcoming team of over ten thousand people lined up on both sides of the red carpet, holding wreaths and cheering as Fenrir arrived.
The journalists were currently in the designated outer area shooting footage, broadcasting the grand scene live and sending it back to their media headquarters.
This award ceremony in New Moon City had evidently become the focus of the world’s attention.
As they were filming, suddenly a journalist started to murmur, "Strange, why is the welcoming team almost all men?"
Everyone’s attention had been focused on Fenrir, and not many had paid attention to the welcoming team.
As soon as someone mentioned it, they all turned their gaze there.
Sure enough, the composition of the welcoming team in Crown Plaza was very unusual.
Generally speaking, a welcoming team, being the face of the ceremony, should consider visual friendliness, so it often includes people of all ages, and there are usually more women.
But here, the welcoming team was almost all male. There were some females, but very few, and at a glance, they were all young adults—no elderly or children in sight.
Just when a cloud of suspicion rose in the journalists’ minds, Fenrir had already arrived in front of the podium amidst the cheers of the crowd.
At this moment, something bizarre happened.
As if a sharp blade had cut through, the cheers that had filled the sky suddenly ceased in an extremely short time, and the surroundings plunged into a deathly silence.
The people who were just filled with enthusiasm had their bright smiles vanish. Their upturned corners of the mouth returned to original arcs, watching Fenrir with meaningful gazes, their pupils only left with a sharp glare like blades.
The journalists were at a loss, looking at each other.
"What’s going on, why is there no sound suddenly..."
"Has the award ceremony started or not?"
"Shh, don’t speak, something seems off..."
In the eerie silence, the host on the podium took off a biometric mask, revealing a head dyed yellow.
It was none other than the captain of Wildfire Internal Guard Team of Hegemony Company, Jiang Zihao.
Jiang Zihao raised his brow at Fenrir, clicking his tongue and laughed scoundrelly, "Nice to meet you, Wolf King, I’ve always admired you."
Fenrir gave a short laugh, took out a cigar from his chest, lit it, and took a puff, responding in a mocking tone, "Huang Mao, graffiti-printed clothes and big gold chains suit you better; you don’t look good in a suit."
Jiang Zihao’s expression stiffened, obviously not seeing the shock he expected on Fenrir’s face, surprising him a bit.
Gradually, Jiang Zihao came back to his senses, and his signature playful smile collapsed, turning into a sinister look, "Damn it, you knew it was a trap but still came?"
Fenrir’s tall figure stood firmly under the fiery morning sun, the golden light seemingly burning fiercely on his body, those dark purple eyes filled with unprecedented wild warring intent.
"If I don’t beat you guys, how can people stand up?"
When Jiang Zihao met those eyes brimming with warlike intent, an indescribable sense of oppression surged in his heart, his throat like being slashed by a sharp knife, coldness spreading from his spine throughout his body, the battle-hardened nerves continuously sounded the crisis alarm.
However, as the captain of the Wildfire Internal Guard Team, Jiang Zihao had exceptionally high psychological quality. After assessing the situation, without any hesitation, he immediately ordered, "Kill!"
Finally, the warriors in Crown Plaza shed their disguises, and the massacre began.
With Frenzied Corpse Rigid Bone, Crimson Blood Crystal, blazing Dragon Flame... Blood Code Carriers exploded with various Blood Code Abilities, pouncing wildly towards Fenrir.
Plasma heat currents rolled around, Prosthetic Implanters entered bullet time or overload status successively, the roar of energy cores resounding like crazy thunder.
The slab stone ground continuously shattered with cracks, and the Mechanical Ferocious Beasts lurking beneath broke through the soil, spreading their bloodthirsty and furious claws under the control of the Spiritual Brain Modifiers.
The battle erupted without any forewarning, making the outer crowd scream in shock; nobody knew what had happened, as everything was fine earlier, and suddenly a fight broke out.
"What’s going on, isn’t this an award ceremony?!"
"No... those seem like the Extraordinary Beings from the giant corporations!"
"They’re fighting! Run!!!"
While the outer crowd screamed and fled, the confrontation in Crown Plaza also commenced.
Rushing towards Fenrir first was a company warrior possessing the "Dragon Flame Blood Code," he belonged to the renowned Hellfire Battalion of the Razor Rapid Response Team, serving as the battalion chief, with a Blood Code level of "Intermediate Beyond Limit."
This battalion chief was an experienced veteran in Razor, having participated in countless battles and recently engaged in the defense of the Celestial Gate, slaying numerous ferocious beasts.
And this time, in order to seize the spotlight, he did not choose to dawdle but went straight into a fierce dragon transformation state.
"Boom——" Amid the violent air tremor, those black wings flowing with lava unfurled mightily, and the battalion chief turned into a shadow, crushing head-on toward Fenrir.
Dragon transformation, like the burning blood of the Crimson Rose Blood Code, is a power that can temporarily break through limits.
In a battle with opponents of the same grade, unless the opponent uses a similar power to break through limits, the result will be crushing, even standing unbeaten in cross-grade battles.
