After resurrection, Velley instantly returned to the K organization base located more than a hundred kilometers away from Tyneu and appeared in front of the association members.
"Send me Xu Fang's position."
Jerut spoke quickly, "Sir, Xu Fang is approaching my location at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. We are expected to enter his attack range in 3 minutes."
"Has there been any change in the position of the duplicate in Boston?"
"No."
"The controller has flaws, and there are also flaws within the association. After I eliminate Xu Fang, I will improve them," Velley said calmly.
Seeming to understand the president's implicit meaning, the expressions of the people changed slightly, and some unconsciously straightened their backs to prove their innocence.
Compared to the slightly nervous crowd, Velley remained calm and composed. With a wave of his hand, he beckoned the people around him to follow.
"Follow me to the observation deck."
Leading the group, the president passed through the dedicated passage of the base and took the elevator from underground to the observation deck. Under the coordination of Eri Rebus, the base's radar system was activated, and the nearby monitoring signals were all transmitted to the front end of the observation deck.
Velley stood at the best spot on the observation deck and looked into the distance. The panoramic view of the surroundings was fully visible.
"Report, no moving objects have been found in the monitoring area," a security monitor responsible for monitoring the base's surroundings reported.
"What about the radar display?"
"The radar shows a high-speed unknown flying object at an altitude of one thousand meters," the radar operator said.
"Is there only one?"
"Yes, only one."
"Continue to observe and report any new discoveries immediately." Velley looked at Jerut, "Where is Xu Fang now?"
"No change in speed, he is still approaching from the 5 o'clock direction, 10.5 kilometers away from us. In 30 seconds, we will enter his range."
Velley knew that Xu Fang had an invisibility device, but God's observation of the world was based on existence. As long as Xu Fang objectively existed, he would be observed by the God of Destruction. Moreover, due to Xu Fang's self-promotion, his existence became too high, making it even easier for God to notice him.
The cold night wind blew, and a large dark cloud covered the moon, casting a shadow of night on this bustling city and adding pressure to the hearts of the crowd.
Velley narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky.
"Using the existence power of the stars to interfere with the vision of the God of Destruction, hiding behind the clouds and launching an aerial attack to minimize the risk? … What a foolish approach!"
As he spoke, his body slowly floated in the air, as if a force was resisting the gravity.
Gravity can also be "destroyed", although the destroyed gravity continuously replenishes like the tides. However, it was still possible for Velley to temporarily fly in the air.
Velley swung his hand vigorously, and the power of destruction tore the clouds into fragments and threw them into oblivion. Within a radius of fifteen kilometers centered on the base, all the clouds disappeared. Instantly, the people on the observation deck basked in the moonlight.
After the obstruction disappeared, Velley saw a dark shadow shooting up towards higher skies, attempting to escape the vision of the God of Destruction.
This was the object detected by the radar.
Velley would not let the opportunity to kill Xu Fang slip away.
Be destroyed, my enemy!
Boom!
The dark shadow fragmented, losing its power and falling towards the ground.
Velley's destructive attack failed to completely eliminate it in one go, probably because Xu Fang's online publicity gave him more existence power, making it harder to kill him.
But no matter how much existence power he had, it was futile. Facing the God of Destruction, it only delayed his death a little.
Velley eliminated the air in front, creating a vacuum area, and under weightlessness, he was propelled by the air pressure towards the fragments of the dark shadow.
If there was even a remote possibility, Velley hoped to obtain a part of Xu Fang's remains. Although authors who have died will surely disappear, what if the demon is an exception?As the distance closed, Velley finally saw the remnants of the black shadow.
These fragments... are they from a drone?
Why does this drone have such a strong presence?
Could it be that Xu Fang is actually a drone?
The absurd idea lasted only a moment, and Velley realized something was wrong. He adjusted his perspective and looked down.
The drone was just a decoy that lured him in. Xu Fang wasn't in the sky, but underground!
Based on the previous intelligence from Josiah, everyone in the Association knew that demons had the ability to fly, which led to the president's inertia in thinking that Xu Fang would only hide in the sky, not realizing that underground was the best way to conceal oneself.
The existence of the Earth was already extraordinary, and with the help of this natural cover, Xu Fang successfully evaded the God of Destruction's sight!
Velley saw Josiah and the others calling for help—he realized that the Association members had already fallen within Xu Fang's attack range.
Frowning, he dove towards the direction of the observatory, wanting to regroup with Josiah, but it was too late.
Josiah, Kana, Anri, Nagi, Molan, and Jerut... except for Emily, all the members of the Association were attacked!
The energy beams leaped over a deadly distance and, under the demon's skillful control, pierced through the glass and walls of the observatory, hitting all the authors inside.
The demon seemed to have burned their brain stems, and all the authors who were attacked bled from every orifice, twitching as they fell to the ground and slowly disappeared.
The elf paused, her expression solemn. She knew why Xu Fang didn't kill her—because she wasn't an author. In the demon's perspective, there seemed to be a clear distinction between authors and humans.
Realizing the current situation, she aimed her gun at her own head.
"Bang!" The bullet pierced through the elf's head, splattering blood. In the astonished gaze of ordinary people, she fell to the ground and slowly disappeared.
In order to avoid becoming Xu Fang's hostage, Emily also "committed suicide."
Although Xu Fang's attack was successful, the Association members had already used life-saving items in advance, and the respawn point was far from the base... so, at this moment, the Association had no casualties.
And Xu Fang was about to pay the price for his actions—facing the most terrifying god in the world.
Following the direction where the energy beams disappeared, the God of Destruction locked onto Xu Fang's position.
Velley clenched his fist with one hand and forcefully pulled in the air. The entire patch of ground where Xu Fang had hidden disappeared without a trace, and his true form was finally exposed in front of the God of Destruction.
The air became eerily still.
Velley saw Xu Fang.
He saw the gaze from the depths of hell.
Two pairs of eyes, pitch black and azure, met in the air, one hundred meters apart. Xu Fang and Velley, on the edge of Drum Fortress Base, under the moonlight, had their historic first encounter.
There was no communication, nor was there a need for communication. If there was any communication, it would be to annihilate each other, and that's all.
Velley had put an end to many villains, and he knew the signs of an evil person.
— Whenever one person kills another, there would be a gray mist around the killer. Whenever an "author" kills another "author," chains would appear on the killer.
Chains and gray mist, the signs of guilt.
No evil person had ever shocked Velley to such a horrifying extent as Xu Fang—
Chains, countless chains, extending from countless worlds, gathered on Xu Fang.
The black mist entwined the chains, converging at the center of the chains, almost solidifying, completely enveloping the figure of the demon.
This "author" known as Xu Fang, who had put an end to an entire civilization, appeared in front of Velley as an entity of countless resentful souls. It turned Velley's boiling blood into the flames of action.Driven by his mission, Velley must eradicate this demon at all costs.
Xu Fang has been locked on, there is no escape for him!
Xu Fang made the first move, suddenly throwing a twisty steel rod towards Velley, with tremendous kinetic energy and a whooshing sound, spinning towards Velley.
The president raised his hand, infusing the power of destruction into the steel rod attacking him, he knew Xu Fang was already a dead man.
This steel rod would become a springboard for the God of Destruction, and Xu Fang would disappear along with the steel rod, becoming a thing of the past, vanishing from the world…
Velley's blue pupils suddenly shrank.
No, something is wrong with this steel rod, its presence is too strong.
But even so, you will still be destroyed!
Destruction!!
————————————
In a secluded single apartment, Jelute, who had just been resurrected, crawled out of bed and stood up, rummaging through the cabinet for a spare phone and inserting a SIM card. At the same time, he turned on the desktop computer next to the bed and restarted the controller.
There was only Jelute in this room, and for safety reasons, everyone's resurrection location was different.
He established contact with the other members of the association.
Everyone was safe and sound, but Jelute was shocked to find that the markings within the controller had changed.
"Mr. Jelute, we can't contact Velley-sama with our phones, can you find him with the controller?" Kana's voice came from the phone.
"..."
"Mr. Jelute?"
"Velley-sama... he's gone, the controller doesn't show his marking."
Although he restrained his emotions greatly, Jelute's voice inevitably trembled.
"Impossible! Are you joking?" Anri roared, "Are you saying our president is dead? Damn it, is there something wrong with your controller?"
"I wish that was the case, what should we do? If Velley-sama really had an accident, what should we do?" Jelute felt panicked for the first time.
"Everyone, calm down. I believe the president will be fine." Josiah said in a deep voice, "Don't lose confidence in the president's strength."
"Well, why don't we check if the president's novel is still there, to know about his safety... what do you think of this idea?" Nagi suggested.
"...Among us, does anyone know the president's novel and pen name?"
Anri's words brought silence among the group.
Velley had never revealed his novel and pen name to the association members.
"The number of authors has changed." Josiah suddenly said, "Before, there were 146 authors, and now, there are 144—within these few minutes since we revived, two authors have died."
"Why two authors?"
A long silence.
Given the premise, facing the God of Destruction, Xu Fang was undoubtedly doomed, and the disappearance of his mark proved the result. But combined with the current situation, could it be...
——————————
Kurozawa Rengatsu looked at her phone, her beautiful eyes shining with an unprecedented brilliance.
"To perish together with the God of Destruction, Xu Fang, you truly have it in you, haha... hahaha... hahahahaha!"
She lightly covered her mouth, slightly shrugging her shoulders. At first, her laughter was soft, but gradually it became sharp and loud.
Those familiar with her would surely be frightened by her appearance, but she was just expressing her long-suppressed nature for a moment.
Since coming to the association, turning Zhang Xinyuan and Ma Youcai, then defection, planning Xu Fang's confrontation with the association, and finally, the collapse of two giant mountains, everything was led by Kurozawa Rengatsu.
And she had long arranged an exit plan for herself.
As a novice author, manipulating the two formidable forces between her fingertips, what could be more fulfilling than this?
