Free Web NovelChapter 511: Chapter 504: Disappointment
He had been waiting for his comeback fight, and now was the perfect time.
The eyes of the world were watching, the hype was unimaginable—could there be a more perfect stage?
It was as if it had been tailor-made for him!
One could imagine that as long as he won this fight, he would once again stand at the pinnacle of the world, of all humanity!
As for his opponent?
’After my evolution, I gained durability comparable to humanity’s strongest armor and the power to charge head-on through a heavily armed military force. Combined with my innate, formidable techniques, who in this world could possibly be my opponent?’
’I am a natural-born powerhouse, destined to stand at the pinnacle of humanity.’
"Speak. The intelligence I had you gather and the things I had you prepare—is it all ready?"
Larry’s enormous, intimidating eyes, like a pair of great bronze bells, slowly swept over the rebel leader before him as he spoke coolly.
’Rebels? A leader?’
’A small country like Comora, even if it threw everything it had at me, couldn’t even slow my advance. I certainly wouldn’t give a petty leader like this a second thought. Without my help, who knows how long it would take this band of misfits to actually conquer the country.’
"We’ve pinpointed that person’s location, and the transportation you requested is ready. When do you plan to depart?"
the rebel leader asked respectfully.
"Immediately. Right now."
Larry slowly rose from the sofa. His body, having gone through a second growth spurt, was as massive as a mountain.
"I can’t let someone else steal the spotlight on such a perfect stage. That would be a huge loss for me. Go get ready. If we can’t depart in five minutes, you know the consequences."
Larry said coolly.
"Yes, sir!"
The rebel leader shuddered at his words and quickly turned to leave the room.
BEEP BEEP BEEP!!
However, just then, the communicator on the table suddenly rang.
Larry frowned, walked over, and picked up the communicator.
"We have orders from above. You are not to interfere in Zhou Yuanjue’s affairs. That man is extremely dangerous—he’s not someone you can handle."
A cold voice came from the other end of the line.
"Since when do you get to give me orders?"
Larry said with a sneer.
"The order has been relayed. Whether you obey it is up to you."
The voice on the other end hung up without another word.
Larry sneered, stepped over the bodies strewn across the floor, opened the wardrobe, took out his boxing attire, and slowly changed into it.
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, a savage smile crept onto Larry’s lips.
His blood began to boil.
’Today is the day of my rebirth.’

「Meanwhile, in the heart of the Satan Desert.」
Beneath the Scorching Sun, Zhou Yuanjue sat cross-legged amidst the yellow sand.
Drones circled endlessly in the sky, clearly recording everything at the scene.
By now, at least three hours had passed since the live broadcast began. The sun was already shifting to the west, yet not a single challenger had appeared.
The global internet was in an uproar.
"Why hasn’t anyone come to challenge him yet?!!"
"Are all the experts just going to hide in their shells like cowards?!!"
"How long do we have to wait? Is no one brave enough to come?"
At this point, the hype in the live stream had started to wane due to the long wait for a challenger.
Just then, someone with sharp eyes noticed something different on the screen.
"Look, that black shadow over there? Is that a helicopter?"
"Yeah! It looks like a helicopter! Is the challenger finally here?"
At the same time, all the drone operators noticed the anomaly and quickly swiveled their cameras toward the black dot.
The camera lens clearly captured a black helicopter flying in from the distance.
"A challenger, it’s a challenger!!"
"The first challenger has appeared! Who could it be?!"
In an instant, the live stream’s popularity exploded. After waiting for so long, they were finally going to see a real, no-holds-barred duel!
The top brass and intelligence agencies of every nation also scrambled into action, preparing to analyze the challenger’s data the moment they appeared.
In the desert, Zhou Yuanjue also opened his eyes. He looked toward the approaching helicopter, his eyes narrowing slightly.
’Who could it be?’
The next moment, the cameras captured a view inside the helicopter.
A massively built black man appeared from the cabin and then, to the astonishment of everyone watching, leaped from an altitude of nearly five hundred meters.
WHOOSH!!
His massive body tore through the air, finally crashing violently to the ground.
BOOM!!!
The soft sand, compressed by the tremendous impact, erupted like exploding fireworks, flying tens of meters into the air in an instant.
From the deep crater, a black man with a beast-like physique slowly emerged, his face clearly captured by the cameras.
"It’s ’Tyrant’ Larry!! The super boxing King from Ghana from the last century!! My God, he must be nearly eighty years old by now!! I heard he was destitute in his later years. I can’t believe he has this kind of power now!!"
"Is this the result of the Starry Sky Country’s latest technology, the one related to the Celestial Beings? Rejuvenation, life extension? This is practically a miracle!"
"Now this is going to be good! A battle between the super boxing King who once dominated his era, a man at the absolute peak of human Physical Talent, and the super genius from Donghua. What kind of fight will it be? I can’t wait!"
Someone in the live stream immediately recognized Larry, and his data instantly went viral online.
"Calculating the impact force from that fall, to be completely unharmed, even with the desert’s cushioning effect, Larry’s Physical Strength would have to surpass that of the toughest tank armor. Among land-based weapons, perhaps only the main cannon of the most advanced tank could threaten him!"
"In terms of individual power, Larry undoubtedly possesses the strength to take on an entire legion of heavy artillery."
"..."
One by one, data points about Larry were rapidly analyzed by various national intelligence agencies and relayed to the ears of their top leaders.
’The power to fight a heavy artillery legion... Even among those who’ve surpassed human limits, he must be considered one of the best, right? This guy should be qualified to be *that person’s* opponent and force him to reveal at least some of his true strength.’
At the scene, Larry slowly climbed out of the sand pit. The first thing he did was look up at the dense swarm of drones in the sky.
He knew the whole world was watching this place.
’This feeling... it’s truly wonderful...’
The savage smile on Larry’s lips widened, the blood in his veins boiled hotter, and his skin, under the Scorching Sun, gleamed with a metallic luster, like an alloy.
Only then did he turn his gaze to his opponent—that pretty boy.
His expression turned to one of surprise, because in his opponent’s eyes, he saw a clear look of disappointment.
"I waited all this time, thinking those guys would finally make a move. I never expected that in the end, all that would show up is a small fry."
The disappointment on Zhou Yuanjue’s face was unconcealed as he spoke in a calm tone.
