Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

In the cordoned-off district plaza.

Intense malice washed over him like a tide, surfacing again and again in Lu Chao’s mind.

After achieving mastery of Crimson Fire, his ability to perceive vague emotions far surpassed what it was before. His five senses had also been quietly enhanced, and the range of his awareness had subtly increased.

Gusts of summer wind swept by, mixed with the backwash from flying cars, stirring up dust and debris from the street.

Skyscrapers with floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the sunlight. Corporate giants stood near the plaza, while clothing stores and gyms lined the sides, bustling with people.

’Who is it?’

Lu Chao’s gaze swept around, searching for the source of the malice.

He had only been in Red Maple Shelter City for a little over a month and hadn’t offended anyone or made any mortal enemies.

But this feeling, which was practically killing intent, was so cold.

’Could it be...’

’The Biotechnology Company?’

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Chao subconsciously arrived at this guess.

’Besides the grudge with Ruan Hui, who else could it be?’

A chill went through him. He focused his mind, concentrating on his surroundings and looking toward the tall buildings of the district.

Sun Jiayuan was still talking incessantly beside him, chatting about the different cliques within the Superpower Bureau and mentioning how the various squads were ranked monthly based on their mission contributions.

After getting no response for a while, he finally realized something was wrong and looked at Lu Chao.

"Younger Brother Lu?"

Slightly confused, he saw that the man’s expression was inexplicably grim as he constantly scanned the area.

He subconsciously followed his gaze.

A bright flash of reflected light seemed to appear at the top of a tall building.

Before he could react.

"Take cover!!"

An intense sense of crisis rose in Lu Chao’s heart. He let out a sudden roar, grabbing Sun Jiayuan and forcing him down to the ground.

BANG!!

An anti-materiel sniper rifle bullet grazed past his shoulder and tore through the jeep behind them, leaving a conspicuous hole in its metal body.

Everyone was startled. Chen Xiao, Fang Xu, and the others, who were patrolling on another side, were completely stunned.

The Superpower Bureau members all noticed the anomaly, quickly drawing their guns and scanning their surroundings.

Sun Jiayuan, who had just been saved by Lu Chao, was both shocked and furious. Out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed the source of the reflection on the opposite high-rise—it was a hidden sniper.

His pupils contracted. He was about to dodge, shout for his men to find cover, and prepare to counter-attack.

But, in the next instant.

Before they could even respond.

"Glory to the Restoration!"

"For Earth Star!"

BOOM!!

An explosion roared, shaking the earth.

An explosion suddenly erupted in the cordoned-off area around the plaza. The aftershock flipped several cars, sending seven or eight figures flying into the air amidst a spray of blood.

"This is..."

The blinding firelight stunned everyone, and the shrill wail of car alarms, like a swarm of bees, echoed incessantly.

Sun Jiayuan and the others had expressions of shock and rage. Then they saw the crowd descend into chaos as another crazed shout rang out.

"Glory to the Restoration!"

"To hell with the damned Alliance Country!"

BOOM!!

Two more Rebel members appeared, launching a suicide attack in another block.

This scene seemed to be a signal.

In just a few breaths of time, a good five or six explosions occurred, turning the surrounding plaza into a sea of fire and wreckage.

"AHH!!"

"Run!"

Cars on the street crashed into each other, blocking traffic.

The sudden, shocking turn of events terrified the nearby residents of Red Maple City, who screamed and fled in all directions.

The nearby patrol team members quickly engaged in a firefight with armed Rebel members hidden in the crowd, who had launched their attack with absolute decisiveness.

"Damn it, these Rebel lunatics!"

"Are they trying to attack the inspection official?!"

Sun Jiayuan’s expression was grim. He finally understood the reason for the attack.

Without hesitation, he immediately led his Superpower Members into the firefight, helping the Red Maple Patrol Team suppress the group of Rebels.

Lu Chao did the same, quickly evading the sniper’s shots and charging into the crowd with Chen Xiao and the others.

Amidst the panicked screams, his line of sight was obstructed by the throngs of fleeing pedestrians.

The RAT-A-TAT-TAT of gunfire echoed from all corners of the district. He was exceptionally calm, his enhanced senses sweeping over his surroundings within a nearly ten-meter radius like radar.

A man in black, hidden in the crowd and using a passerby to conceal his figure, suddenly raised a hand and reached inside his collar, as if to draw a weapon.

On the other side, by a public bench, a man in a duck-billed cap disguised as an ordinary person noticed his approach and silently reached a hand into his briefcase.

Just as they were about to pull their triggers.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Two steel nails shot through the air from an impossible angle, striking them between the eyebrows.

Amidst the wet THUNKS of pierced flesh,

both the Rebel member by the public bench and the one in the crowd collapsed to the ground, blood pouring from between their wide-open eyes.

"Damn it!"

"Kill him!"

Several more Rebel members rushed out of a shop on the block, raising their guns to open fire.

But before they could act.

BANG! BANG!

A mist of blood erupted as the figures fell to the ground.

"Captain!"

Further back, Chen Xiao and Fang Xu had opened fire at the first opportunity, killing them instantly.

Squad Five and the Superpower Members from other teams acted swiftly, rushing to various parts of the district to deal with the surprise attack.

The situation was not completely out of control. The Superpower Bureau and the Red Maple Patrol Team were both well-trained and quickly suppressed the Rebels.

However.

As his gaze swept over the several bodies on the ground, Lu Chao realized something was wrong.

The malice remained.

That greedy feeling, like a predator that had found its prey, was growing stronger. He stopped in his tracks and scanned his surroundings.

WHIR!!

The whir of a drone spiraling into the sky came from overhead. Members of a Superpower Squad had located the sniper in the high-rise and were moving in for the kill.

The joint communications of the field team crackled in his earpiece, constantly reporting various reconnaissance points.

However, the malice hadn’t dispersed. Instead, it was getting closer, right there within the panicked crowd.
