「Three days later...」

Angelina finished putting on her equipment. Nine red Hezi tails emerged from behind her, swaying in the wind.

Angelina was extremely excited. "This is wonderful! The nine tails can transform at will, just like your Wan Jian Gui Clan, and they have incredible defensive power."

"Now I can join the battle too!"

Jiang Chen smiled. "You'd better not. This is for your protection."

"Hmph, who are you looking down on? I'm very powerful too!"

Gold said, "This is Sixth-stage Hezi, capable of fully unleashing the strength of Sixth-stage Hezi. However, it requires immense spiritual power to control."

Jiang Chen noticed a small, bright orb behind Angelina—the White Moon God Stone, completely fused with the equipment. The nine red tails emanated from it.

Angelina said, "I feel quite comfortable with it."

"It can block attacks from anything below Sixth-stage, but Heizi Weapons can't grow. Ultimately, it's just a Sixth-stage Heizi Weapon. Unless it completely integrates into the body, but then, one would become a member of the Cannibal Tribe."

"It can't grow?"

Gold nodded. "Naturally, it can't grow. The Cannibal Tribe also has Badges; they can only grow in combination with a Badge. Hezi is essentially a Skill within a Badge, and the Badge itself represents Strength. Without the Badge, it's nothing."

"When a member of the Cannibal Tribe dies, their Badge vanishes, leaving only their Hezi behind. Unless one possesses a Cannibal Tribe Badge, they cannot be upgraded. However, doing so would mean betraying the Continent of All-Gods and completely becoming one of the Cannibal Tribe. This is similar to how assassins, Swordsmen, and Priests each have different Skills. Hezi is like a profession; Hezi is a Skill."

Jiang Chen said, "Let's go. Now that you can protect yourself, let's try out the Cannibal Tribe's world."

Angelina nodded. "Okay."

Gold cautioned, "It's best not to use the Hezi's power. You are only Second-stage, while the Hezi's equipment is Sixth-stage. Controlling such powerful Hezi requires immense spiritual power."

"If your spiritual power becomes insufficient, the Hezi will absorb your flesh and blood, converting it into spiritual power—essentially draining your lifeblood."

So, there are drawbacks after all.

Angelina was unconcerned. "My spiritual power is very strong."

Jiang Chen left with Angelina, preparing to head to the Cannibal Tribe's world the next day to raise their Level.

「Night fell...」

A group of black-clad individuals entered the Titan World. At that moment, inside one of its prisons, Titan Guards were looking up at the sky.

"Huh, the moonlight looks different tonight."

"You're right, it seems a bit redder. There won't be any problems, will there?"

"This place is heavily guarded; the Cannibal Tribe wouldn't dare come here to rescue Abe Harumei."

"By the way, what kind of Hezi does Abe Harumei have?"

"It's said to be a powerful Heizi Weapon, comparable to a Forbidden Curse."

"Who cares? He's only Third-stage right now. There's no way he can escape our grasp."

At this moment, the moon in the sky cast an eerie glow. The people of the Titan World, gazing at the sky, noticed nothing unusual.

Then, the group in black brazenly walked into the prison.

In the deepest part of the prison, Abe Harumei opened his eyes. The door to his cell creaked open, and he walked out, looking up at the bright moon.

"Is that you, sister?"

"Yes, Lord Harumei."

"Please come with us, Lord Harumei."

Abe Harumei said, "No rush. First, let's give them a little gift."

Just then, Abe Harumei flew into the sky. He stretched out his right hand, and a beam of light appeared above it. With a single strike aimed at the entire city—

BOOM!

A mushroom cloud billowed above the city. A massive explosion rocked the area, and the ensuing shockwaves obliterated half of it.

「The next morning.」

Jiang Chen slowly rose and began eating breakfast. He overheard snippets of conversation:

"Tens of thousands of Titan Warriors died in Rosas City, and Abe Harumei escaped!"

"Wasn't that guy locked up in prison? How did he get out?"

"No idea. Many people died in their sleep, without even knowing what happened."

"They should have killed Abe Harumei long ago. Why did they keep him alive?"

"Obviously, they kept him for the Heizi Weapon he possesses."

"He's Third-stage, isn't he?"

This news stunned Jiang Chen.

Abe Harumei escaped? And blew up half a city? What the hell kind of Heizi Weapon is that? So incredibly powerful?

Bartley found Jiang Chen, exclaiming, "It's a disaster! Abe Harumei has escaped! The Cannibal Tribe has assembled an army of millions, preparing to launch their campaign and invade the Titan World!"

"An army of millions?" Jiang Chen asked.

Bartley nodded. "Yes, and just like you, they're planning to slaughter cities."

"How did Abe Harumei escape?"

"His sister made a move?"

"His sister?"

Bartley nodded again. "His sister is also incredibly powerful. Her Heizi Weapon is called [Demon Eye]. It creates illusions. Last night, it was used to infiltrate Rosas City, plunging everyone there into the Phantasm Realm."

"And just like that, Abe Harumei brazenly walked out of prison."

[Demon Eye]? What kind of bizarre Hezi is this?

"What kind of Heizi Weapon is [Demon Eye]?" Jiang Chen inquired.

Bartley replied, "It's a Support-type Hezi that emits a strange light. Anyone enveloped by this light or who looks at the [Demon Eye] will enter the Phantasm Realm."

"Although it's a Support-type Hezi, once activated, it can incapacitate an army a million strong."

"Only those with exceptionally high spiritual power can resist it, or those who inflict pain upon themselves to remain constantly awake and conscious."

"It's a type of Hezi that launches mental attacks."

Jiang Chen grew thoughtful.

Based on Bartley's description, it sounds a lot like the power of the Sharingan! Hmm... Interesting.

Bartley continued, "The Titan World has now assembled its forces, preparing to repel the Cannibal Tribe's invasion. Everyone must participate to defeat their million-strong army."

"Jiang Chen," Bartley said, "weren't you out of Merit Points? This is a great opportunity to earn some. You get ten Merit Points for every enemy killed."

Jiang Chen asked, "Why didn't they just kill Abe Harumei?"

"It was because of his Hezi. The one he possesses is extremely powerful. We wanted to extract it for a Son of God, but unfortunately, Abe Harumei escaped before the Son of God could arrive."

An army of millions... more experience points again! And Merit Points too!

Now that Angelina possessed the Nine-Tails Hezi and could protect herself, Jiang Chen felt considerably more at ease, even facing a million-strong army and their impending attack.

"I'd also like to see Abe Harumei's Hezi for myself," Jiang Chen stated.

Bartley explained, "His Hezi is called [Atom]. When he attacks, it triggers explosions all around him. The higher its Level, the wider the blast radius. Once upgraded to Sixth-stage, it can obliterate an entire city."

"We went through so much trouble to capture him, only for him to escape again."

"Who was Abe Harumei's Hezi intended for?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Elizabeth, from Emily's family. She's the daughter of a Demigod."

Jiang Chen followed Bartley through a Teleportation Array, arriving at a city on the edge of the rift to help resist the Cannibal Tribe's army.
