Chapter 441 A Farewell is Forever
Silence hung in the air for what felt like an eternity.
Elbert laid Red Brow's body flat on the ground.
He didn't say a word.
Walking among the Apex Guardians warriors, he searched through their belongings.
Finally, he found a communicator in one of the warriors' arms.
The device was incredibly simple, with just a green display screen.
But it incorporated the most advanced information security technology of the time.
It didn't use the internet but transmitted directly via satellite signal.
Robert worked tirelessly, searching for the signal source.
Meanwhile, Elbert focused on cracking the device in his hand.
Moments later.
The self-destructed information appeared, but it was fragmented.
'X-Apex Guardians'
'Galaxy District'
'Intercept Apocalypse Association'
'Top-secret mission'
'Only one condition for return.'
'Extreme caution'
'The organization doesn't want to erect any more nameless tombstones.'
After reading this, Elbert let out a long breath.
He frowned, tears welling up.
The Apex Guardians had become the top-secret X-Apex Guardians.
No identities.
Even if they sacrificed themselves, they would only have nameless tombstones.
Elbert turned back, looking at the bodies of several warriors.
They died with their eyes wide open, staring north.
Elbert's mind exploded!
That's the direction of the village!
Apocalypse Association!
They were the ones capturing the beasts!
And they wanted to capture the villagers, too!
"Quentin, stay here and ensure the warriors' safety!"
Elbert shouted, his body shooting out like lightning, heading straight north!
Quentin realized the gravity of the situation!
His expression was horrified, filled with anxiety!
The enemy is so strong, can Paul Three handle it?
And what about the villagers?
Suddenly, Quentin saw the Celestial Pioneer nearby.
"Willow, can you stay here and guard?"
Roar!
A deep beastly roar echoed, and a mutated sloth emerged, pounding the ground with its claws, its gaze resolute.
"Please!"
Quentin clasped his fists together and charged north!
Meanwhile, Elbert.
In five minutes, he crossed dozens of miles, and the giant vine barrier of Yulia Village appeared ahead!
Elbert's heart raced!
Everything seemed normal here, but that only made him more uneasy!
The vines opened a gap, and Elbert stepped in.
The next moment.
He felt like he was struck by lightning!
The village still looked peaceful and serene.
But everything had changed!
Bodies, bodies everywhere!
Elbert felt as if his soul had left his body, the surroundings spinning wildly around him!
He remembered moments spent with the villagers!
The honest Mike.
The singing Wendy.
The stern Jace.
And the other villagers' strange yet warm faces!
The pain in his heart made it hard to breathe!
He had never felt such sorrow; the last goodbye turned out to be forever!
Elbert didn't stop, moving rapidly through the village!
The result left him utterly devastated!
All dead.
Not a single survivor!
Elbert picked up Wendy; her chest was shattered, her internal organs crushed!
He would never hear her sing again!
Elbert didn't cry out loud, a low growl escaping his throat.
Heartbroken!
Suddenly!
He saw a comfortable bed made of wooden planks in the distance.
Veins bulged on his forehead!
Eyes bloodshot!
It must be the Apocalypse Association!
Elbert lost control for a moment!
The giant vines above the village sensed an overwhelming radiation!
They shrank back into the ground!
In an instant, the vine canopy covering a 10-mile radius disappeared!
Yulia Village was exposed to the sunlight again!
Filled with bright vitality!
But there would be no more villagers!
Elbert gritted his teeth, the sadness in his heart indescribable!
At that moment, Elbert saw them!
A few miles away, a group of black figures was slowly moving, just leaving Yulia Village!
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
Elbert's figure turned into a flash of lightning!
Elbert's figure suddenly stopped!
Head lowered, appearing at the front of the group!
"Oh? Quite strong!"
"Indeed, a surprise!"
Gallup chuckled, sitting up on the wooden platform at the front of the group, "God has answered my prayers!"
Elbert didn't speak, his eyes twitching violently with anger. He pointed towards the village.
"Heh, you're the guest that big-headed freak mentioned, right?" Gallup sneered. "I killed everyone in that village, so what?"
Gallup stood up, looking down at Elbert with disdain from his high platform. Then, he turned to his men, "You guys, capture him for me. He's a prime specimen, be careful not to kill him!"
Nine men in black suits nodded in unison and charged forward.
At that moment, a furious shout came from the side, "You bastard, how dare you kill the villagers!"
It was Quentin, dressed in black, raging like a lion. He fought the men in black suits, one against nine, throwing explosive punches.
Gallup watched with a slight smile, "An F-level modified human? Unfortunately, my men are also F-level modified humans."
Then, he looked at Elbert, who was slowly approaching, stroking his chin, "You're different, though. We should both be high-level beings, innate gene carriers. Let the lower beings deal with the lower beings. Let's have a good chat. If you let the association finish their research, I'll take you as my subordinate, how about that?"
But Elbert seemed oblivious. His right eye's purple glow turned red again.
"The president is talking to you, are you deaf?" Gallup's eyes turned sharp when he saw Elbert unmoved. He shook his head slightly. With a flick of his sleeve, countless black threads, metal wires, emerged. They danced in the air, their sharp glints barely visible.
Elbert's eyes turned even redder. "You killed the Apex Guardians, too!"
"Yes!" Gallup sneered coldly. "They were the only ants worthy of my attention!"
Gallup flicked his fingers, sending the metal wires shooting towards Elbert. The power contained in those tiny metal wires was unimaginable. They struck the ground, kicking up dust. Gallup deliberately controlled them, not wanting to kill Elbert outright. But to his surprise, amidst the flying dust, the figure remained standing, slowly approaching.
"Quite resilient, let's add ten more!" The sound of metal clashing echoed. Gallup frowned. He could block them? Let's add a hundred more! The sound of metal clashing continued. Gallup's expression changed, and he sent all the metal wires attacking. The result was the same. The sound of countless metal clashes, all the wires were blocked.
The next moment, from the dust, a black figure stepped out. But it was no longer Elbert. It was a humanoid figure wrapped in black armor.
Gallup was horrified. "You... You're the new generation Savior!"
The black armor didn't respond. Only the red glow in its right eye burned brighter.
"Robert, remove the electric control ability, integrate 30% of Witch genes!" Elbert commanded.
In an instant, the DNA sequence changed again. The black armor slowly turned red, emitting astonishing heat. Under Elbert's control, any ability could perfectly integrate with 'nothing'. Flames surged, red flames with white cores, the temperature immeasurable. Gallup's metal wires melted instantly in the high heat.
The fiery figure slowly approached, illuminating Gallup's face, turning it red. He was now utterly terrified, eyes filled with despair.
Elbert reached out, grabbing Gallup's neck, lifting him into the air. The high temperature from his palms sizzled, scorching Gallup's skin.
"You... Stop!" Gallup's body convulsed, his voice trembling. "Do you know the Apocalypse Association? If you kill me, the president won't let you go!"
Elbert remained silent. The heat from his body gradually ignited Gallup's clothes and hair. Then, his limbs. Burning from the ends, slowly turning to charcoal, falling piece by piece. Gallup's screams echoed through the heavens and earth. He watched helplessly as his body was burned inch by inch. And Elbert, like a demon god, his gaze icy cold.
Robert: "Elbert, this guy's ability is also metal control, similar to Chain Bridge, but his ability is more refined. Should we keep some of his DNA?"
Elbert's voice was deep, "He's not worthy."
