Nine Snakes Organization.
Such a large organization, but they only had a few scattered staff members. All the members of Nine Snakes had the ability to fly in the sky, but in terms of combat strength, most of them were still cannon fodders. Under the absolute suppression of strength, they could only be cannon fodder. Thus, Nine Snakes didn't call those members back.
Seven of them were enough.
Under the quiet moonlight, the figures of these seven people looked frail. A few minutes later, a gap in space appeared, and the sky above Nine Snakes distorted. Countless flashes of light emerged as black shadows appeared from the gap. The Origin Ability Association arrived.
World espers!
An entire lineup of world espers!
When the lineup of the Origin Ability Association assembled, Nine Snakes' hearts skipped a beat. This Origin Ability Association, which had been avoiding war all this time, had actually accumulated so many powerful espers. Thirty level one world espers, fifteen level two world espers, and five level three world espers!
A total of fifty world espers!
This lineup was comparable to the group that went to Taihu Territory! The Origin Ability Association announced to the public that they only had ten world espers. Who would have thought that had hidden so many powerful espers?
The Origin Ability Association finally arrived and looked at the Nine Snakes Organization.
"How could this be?"
The fifth head was stunned, "The Origin Ability Association had taken action so many times, and yet not even once were they discovered?"
"It's not that they weren't discovered." The seventh head said calmly. However, his tone sounded serious, "You should say those who found out in the past had all been silenced..."
Everyone was shocked.
Yes, they were silenced; with such strength, who could survive under such strength? That is fifty world espers!
"However, with such strength, shouldn't the Federation be united earlier?" The sixth head said with a blank expression.
"You have made two mistakes. First, although the Federation and the Origin Ability Association are cooperating, they're not the same entity. Even now, they would experience internal strife even as the same faction. Secondly, even if they're together, that would only make the top ten families bounce back!"
"Fifty world espers, and they wish to suppress the top ten families?"
"If all the top ten families were to join hands, they would have more than fifty world espers. Not to mention, each of them has been tempered in life and death situations. They are on an entirely different realm than these broken products in front of us. The only thing that can truly defeat the top ten families is their own war, which is the fastest way to disintegrate their footing."
"This point, the Federation was able to get it right." The seventh head coldly explained.
So it turned out to be like that. Everyone suddenly had a realization. However, even if the Origin Ability Association wasn't capable of defeating the top ten families, wiping out Nine Snakes was still more than enough. Fifty against eight, even if one has the confidence in one's own strength, no one would dare to declare a bold statement that they could win, not to mention, that there are five level three world espers on the opposite side.
"How do we fight this?"
The sixth head hatefully looked at the Origin Ability Association's side.
"Those thirty level one world espers, leave them all to me." The seventh head leisurely said, "Although combat is not my expertise, the level ones..."
"Hahaha."
Everyone shivered hearing those words.
Indeed, the seventh head wasn't great in combat but excellent in strategy. However, if one really considers that his combat strength wasn't great, that would be a huge mistake. Among Nine Snakes, if one is to name the most terrifying person, the seventh head definitely ranked second! In fact, he was far ahead of the second head.
"Old Two, Old Three, Old Four, Old Five, Old Sixth, those five level three world espers, I will let you all handle them."
The seventh head looked afar.
"Alright."
Everyone agreed.
"As for the remaining fifteen level two world espers."
The seventh head looked at Old Eight, who remained silent, "How long can you stall them?"
"Half an hour." The eighth head answered without hesitation.
"Enough, after wiping them out, I will come to help you." The seventh head sneered, "Fifty world espers, hehe... Origin Ability Association, the consequence of staying at the apex for so long, you have forgotten how fast time changes."
"Let us teach them a lesson!"
Boom!
The base's lights suddenly turned bright.
Those world espers from the Origin Ability Association, who just made their appearance not long ago, were about to make their first move. However, the Nine Snakes happened to take the initiative instead. From the second head to the sixth head, five men made their move. Those level three world espers immediately intercepted them.
This isn't a joke!
If an esper with such strength is to fight with level one world espers, that would be a total massacre! However, after being intercepted, there were only two men left from the Nine Snakes' side while the Origin Ability Association had a total of thirty five world espers!
This was such a big disparity.
Even a level three world esper would have to be cautious!
Not to mention...
These two in front hadn't even reached the third level of the world realm.
"Go, destroy those two men, and then help the seniors."
"Understood!"
The men of Origin Ability Association responded.
"Haha."
There was a hint of sarcasm as the corners of the seventh head's mouth rose, "I can't let you all go there."
Swish!
The seventh head's body looked dazzling as countless crystal particles flashed in the air. Under the surprised look of everyone from the Origin Ability Association, it became thirty identical figures.
And each one of them was the seventh head!
"Charge!"
The thirty clones of the seventh head screamed as they charged toward those level one world espers. Obviously, after splitting, he knew his current strength.
It just happened to be able to suppress those level one world espers.
Phantom?
Doppelganger?
The Origin Ability Association was amazed. They had been in contact with various talents, but all kinds of strange talents would impact their own strength. However, these clones in front of them were like a copy, an exact copy of the same person! In fact, the strength of each copy was the same!
One person suppressed thirty people!
When even a level three world esper dare not do so, this seventh head alone was sufficient.
"How dare you!"
The level two world espers from Origin Ability Association that no one bothered with reacted and became furious. Just as they were about to help their teammates, they saw another man standing in their way and blocking their path. It was a burly figure with a cold face, the eighth head of Nine Snakes Organization, a grade S esper specializing in defense.
There was no nonsense as a large inverted bell descended from the sky and enveloped them.
Those fifteen level two world espers were dumbfounded immediately. The speed of this giant bell made them simply unable to respond at all. Everyone attacked the big bell like crazy, but everything was in vain. The eighth head maintained the defensive measure of this giant bell's while counting the time silently. He could hold them for half an hour.
Not one second more nor one second less.
...
The Origin Ability Association and Nine Snakes were destined to have a huge battle. This was something Su Hao had long predicted. Based on Su Hao's understanding of the Origin Ability Association, this organization secretly hid an unknown number of strong espers. They should be able to win, right?
Su Hao had been thinking like that until a group of people from the Origin Ability Association came back with serious injuries...
"What happened?"
Su Hao was shocked. The Origin Ability Association lost?
When the person who came back confided the truth, Su Hao was truly stunned.
There were only seven people from Nine Snakes, but their strength was formidable. Facing against fifty members of the Origin Ability Association, they didn't fall behind in strength. However, the Origin Ability Association wasn't suppressed much either. The key lies in whether the guy who cloned himself could wipe out all level one world espers within half an hour.
However, with the aid of many drugs, the level one world espers were able to last for half an hour.
Seeing that they were about to lose, everyone in Nine Snakes suddenly went out of control! The men from Origin Ability Association were clueless of what aphrodisiac they took for their strength to suddenly have a boost.
"Art of Rejuvenation!"
Such thought flashed in Su Hao's mind. Only the full version of Art of Rejuvenation had such power.
As for later, all the espers of the Origin Ability Association joined hands to defend and managed to bring everyone back. However, this time, the battle resulted in a failure.
In other words, the Origin Ability Association lost.
Although no lives were lost in the process, the fact that they lost was undeniable. They lost to the unknown Nine Snakes. If this news is to spread, it will definitely shake the entire Federation. Although the Origin Ability Association rarely made a move, they are without a doubt among the top in terms of force! Yet, they lost like that?
"If not for the President not being here..." Someone said unconvinced.
"Wasn't the boss of Nine Snakes not there either?" Someone heaved a sigh.
The man who spoke earlier went silent immediately. Yes, there were fifty world espers, yet the foe's boss wasn't forced out! This unknown Nine Snakes Organization was this powerful? At this time, Su Hao knew how lucky he was to be able to kill the monk.
Why did the monk die?
When the monk used his full strength, Su Hao managed to utilize his weakness, which resulted in his death. There was no chance to fight back nor any opportunity to use Art of Rejuvenation. His central nerve broke, but with the monk's strength, it's not impossible to recover. Yet, why did he end up dead?
To be more accurate, he was forced to death by his own overwhelming strength!
What if it was a normal fight?
Su Hao wiped off his sweat.
The failure of the Origin Ability Association will inevitably shake the Federation. Because of this, the Origin Ability Association didn't retreat. Failure is failure. As long as there are no casualties, there will be another chance to attack again. If they failed the first time, they would attempt a second time. If the second time still ends in failure, they would attempt a third time.
The Origin Ability Association is never afraid to go against organizations like Nine Snakes.
"Failed?"
Su Hao thought about it carefully.
The Origin Ability Association seemed to have failed, but only Su Hao knew what price Nine Snakes had to pay in order to make the Origin Ability Association fail! One needs to know that the cost of using Art of Rejuvenation was based on the premise of one's life to replace... Each use will reduce life by many years.
If this happened a few more times...
"It's not necessarily a failure."
Su Hao sounded calm.
The only thing that he couldn't understand was that if the boss of Nine Snakes participated, there wouldn't be the need to use Art of Rejuvenation. What was the boss of Nine Snakes thinking?
What was he doing then?
"Sooner or later, I will know."
Su Hao smirked.
After he handed over Art of Rejuvenation that he unintentionally encountered to the Origin Ability Association, the organization understood the reason behind Nine Snakes' strength sudden increase and why they happily charged them. However, when they arrived at the Nine Snakes' site, everything was already empty.
The Nine Snakes Organization had vanished.
