Free Web NovelChapter 710: Chapter 710: Mission Survive
He immediately turned and headed toward the military server room in hopes of contacting the remaining forces.
However, the moment he arrived there, his heart sank slightly.
Everyone inside had fallen asleep.
No matter how loudly alarms sounded from the systems, none of them reacted.
This instantly heightened Silas’s vigilance.
Without wasting another second, he quickly contacted Scarlett, along with several trusted teammates and subordinates, and asked them to bring over 500 people.
Once he finished sending the emergency messages, he immediately prepared to return toward Benny’s basement.
However... the moment he entered the living room area, he froze slightly.
Several superior beings were already sitting casually on the sofas.
Chatting leisurely. As though they had been waiting for him all along.
Their human appearances looked normal on the surface, yet an eerie ethereal aura continuously leaked from them subtly, making the surrounding air feel unnaturally heavy.
The moment Silas stepped inside, one of them chuckled softly.
"Oh? So you finally decided to reveal yourself."
Another superior being smiled faintly while crossing their legs leisurely.
"We thought you became frightened and ran away after realizing we were downstairs."
Silas immediately understood one thing.
They had known about his presence from the very beginning.
Even so, he forcefully kept his expression calm.
Internally, however, his guard rose to the highest level possible.
Just then, a notification suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Special Mission: Survive against the superior beings for the next sixteen minutes. Reward: Unlock additional superpower.]
The moment Silas saw the message, he became stunned briefly.
For almost all this time, the mysterious system rarely interfered directly.
Occasionally, it issued missions. Occasionally, it rewarded him.
But recently, it had almost gone completely silent.
Now, at such a critical moment, it suddenly appeared again.
Could this system itself somehow be connected to the superior beings?
Or perhaps... was it actually their enemy?
Shaking away the countless thoughts crowding his mind, Silas slowly looked toward all of them with a calm expression and casually walked toward the sofa.
Silas calmly sat down on the sofa opposite them and crossed one leg over the other as though he were attending an ordinary meeting.
Internally, however, his thoughts were racing rapidly. ’Sixty minutes.’
That was all he needed to survive. He absolutely could not fight recklessly.
If he directly confronted all of them at once, he would instantly place himself in an overwhelmingly disadvantageous position.
Because of that, he forcefully maintained a calm smile before speaking casually.
"I originally thought all of you would continue hiding in the sewer."
His eyes slowly swept across the luxurious room.
"But it seems all of you actually have rather impressive taste."
The moment those words fell, several superior beings narrowed their eyes coldly.
Meanwhile, Tammy, currently occupying Benny’s body, suddenly let out a faint, amused laugh.
"Interesting."
She leaned back against the sofa leisurely before staring directly into Silas’s eyes.
"And now that you are here, what exactly do you want?"
Silas’s smile deepened slightly. "I believe we should discuss compensation."
The instant he uttered those strange words, everyone inside the room exchanged glances.
Then Tammy suddenly burst into laughter. "Compensation?"
Her voice carried visible mockery.
"Very well. As compensation, we will allow you to survive for the next five minutes before killing you."
The moment she finished speaking, she slowly lifted one hand.
An overwhelming pressure instantly exploded throughout the room.
However, before she could attack, Silas suddenly raised his hand slightly. "Wait."
Tammy paused faintly.
Silas’s eyes sharpened subtly. "There are several things I still do not understand."
His voice remained calm despite the dangerous atmosphere.
"Once you answer them, I will gladly let all of you leave peacefully."
Hearing such arrogant words from a mere human instantly enraged several superior beings.
Even Tammy’s expression darkened slightly.
Still, Silas continued speaking calmly.
"Why are all of you targeting Ivy specifically?"
The question caused the superior beings to exchange glances once again.
Then Tammy slowly smiled coldly.
"And why exactly should we tell you the truth?"
The moment she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her hand completely.
The next second... Boom!
An invisible pressure slammed violently into Silas’s body.
Agonizing pain exploded through his nerves instantly.
It felt as though thousands of needles were piercing directly into his brain and internal organs simultaneously.
Even breathing became difficult.
Yet despite the unbearable pain, Silas gritted his teeth forcefully and kept his eyes open.
His gaze locked directly onto Tammy. "I do not know why all of you are after Ivy. But I will tell you one thing."
A dangerous coldness slowly surfaced in his eyes. "I am not letting any of you leave here alive tonight."
The moment those words fell, Silas instantly rushed forward. Crack! ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Blue lightning exploded violently around his body as thunder energy surged across the room.
Tammy looked visibly stunned for a moment before immediately fighting back.
At first, she believed suppressing a hybrid human would be effortless.
After all, compared to true superior beings, hybrid superpowers should have been insignificant.
Normally, lightning from a hybrid should not even affect her.
Yet the moment Silas’s thunder struck her directly, Tammy’s entire body trembled violently.
Electric pain spread through her nerves instantly.
For a brief moment, she genuinely felt dizzy.
Her eyes widened slightly in disbelief. ’Impossible...’
Meanwhile, Silas did not stop attacking. At the same time, he activated his second superpower.
Healing.
However, unlike what Ivy once believed in her previous life, Silas had gradually discovered something horrifying about this ability.
If he could sacrifice his own life force to heal others...
Then theoretically... could he steal someone else’s life force and use it to heal himself instead?
That terrifying loophole had remained hidden until now.
The moment the thought surfaced fully inside his mind, Silas immediately activated the ability.
He began absorbing life energy from everyone around him.
At first, the superior beings calmly watched the fight with amused expressions.
None of them noticed anything unusual.
But gradually... their expressions slowly changed.
A strange weakness began spreading through their bodies.
Their energy reserves started decreasing unnaturally.
Several superior beings frowned deeply.
Nanami immediately stood up. "Something is wrong."
