The giant unleashed a furious barrage from his formidable weapon—a six-barreled machine cannon—its devastating rounds blazing forth like a fiery dragon, relentlessly bearing down on Poseidon.
With unparalleled speed, Poseidon conjured a towering wall of ice before him, ceaselessly thickening its mass. In mere moments, the barrier swelled to nearly two meters in thickness. Though it paled in comparison to the colossal iceberg Xiaofeng had previously summoned, Poseidon's feat had been accomplished in a fraction of the time.
Explosions thundered unrelentingly as Poseidon continued to fortify his icy bulwark. Even after the giant's ammunition was depleted, the ice wall still stood resilient—over a meter thick.
This display laid bare Poseidon's newfound might. Having undergone Caesar's evolutionary transformation, he was now a vastly different entity from the man he had been before.
Xiaofeng gazed upon the ice wall with profound astonishment, turning to Pandora beside him. "This one... I'll have to deal with personally." Without hesitation, he charged at Poseidon.
Yet before Xiaofeng could advance further, a figure intercepted him. Turning, Xiaofeng found it was Qin Tian, who smiled confidently. "Let me handle this bastard. I've recently discovered my powers have grown quite formidable!" With that, Qin Tian vanished abruptly before Xiaofeng's eyes.
Though many present knew of Qin Tian's invisibility, Poseidon remained unaware.
Qin Tian reappeared silently behind Poseidon. In a flash, his right hand phased through Poseidon's back and plunged deep into his chest. His hand, blurred and ethereal, solidified again within, clutching Poseidon's heart.
Poseidon gasped, clutching his chest as a sudden, searing pain bloomed. Blood spurted from his mouth. How could this be?
Like the Grim Reaper incarnate, Qin Tian extracted Poseidon's heart, his face adorned with a pure, radiant smile—an image so surreal it stunned all who witnessed it.
From afar, Jack, Yuan, and the defeated Gundam and Zehong stared in shock. In less than a heartbeat, this young boy had vanquished Poseidon—an existence that surpassed even the power of a Level Ten ability wielder.
They watched as Poseidon crumpled to his knees, cold sweat breaking across their brows. None had imagined that even a ten-level ability user could be undone so swiftly before this child.
Jack cleared his throat gravely. "Don't be overly concerned. As long as we keep this kid away from us, we have no mortal danger."
But how could they keep him at bay? He possessed invisibility powers—they could not see him at all!
"Damn it, let's retreat. This kid is just too monstrous."
"Exactly—not just him, everyone here is utterly insane."
At that moment, Qin Tian reappeared beside Xiaofeng, a triumphant grin lighting his face. "Boss Xiaofeng, what are the orders? How shall we proceed?"
Xiaofeng cast a cold smile toward the remaining Seven Fiends. "Not a single one left alive. Let's see who dares oppose our X Legion now."
Qin Tian blinked, incredulous. "Not a single one?"
"Yes. Not one. I want them to regret it for the rest of their lives," Xiaofeng declared icily.
Pandora, standing nearby, looked puzzled. "That's not like you, Xiaofeng. Weren't you always careful with lives?"
Xiaofeng's voice was frostily resolute. "Their lives are no longer worth preserving. These powerful foes—if they remain in this world even a minute longer, it only endangers our X Legion further."
Qin Tian chuckled. "Right, boss. I'm off then..."
Pandora shook her head. "Damn, Qin Tian, since when did you get so bloodthirsty?"
And with that, Qin Tian vanished once more behind Pandora's back.
Not far off, Jack warned the four gathered comrades, "Be alert—he's coming."
The four formed a tight circle, backs pressed together, unleashing surges of black dark energy—solidified powers brimming with lethal force.
But their tactics were futile against Qin Tian. His invisibility was coupled with a piercing power that allowed him to phase effortlessly through these solid dark abilities.
He passed straight through their bodies as if they were mere shadows, yet when he swept past, horrifying objects materialized in his hands—their hearts.
Though dark powers like Satan's mist, Guiyao's immortality, and Jack's healing could repair wounds, they all depended on the life force within—the heart.
Now, with all four hearts gripped in Qin Tian's hands, it meant they were all instantly vanquished.
Xiaofeng watched in stunned silence. Damn it, when did Qin Tian grow this strong? Five Level Ten ability users, gone in less than a minute, utterly destroyed by Qin Tian.
Pandora too was amazed. "Yes, how could he be this powerful?"
The heavily armed giant, somewhat sheepish, muttered, "Why is everyone else so strong, and I the only weakling?"
Xiaofeng looked him over. "Who said you're weak? Look at that physique—clearly you're the strongest, don't you realize?"
"I'm far from the strongest..." the giant murmured.
At that moment, Qin Tian swaggered back toward them, his hands dripping with fresh blood. "Well? Am I strong enough now?"
Xiaofeng paid him no mind, instead counting the fallen bodies of Poseidon and the Seven Fiends scattered across the ground. To his surprise, only Poseidon, Jack, Gundam, Yuan, and Zehong lay dead.
He frowned. "Where's the last one?"
Pandora chuckled softly. "Not missing a single one, not one left alive." With that, she strode toward the car where Caesar was hiding and yanked its door clean off.
