"You damned thing!"
"Being called worthless and receiving abuse by having one's nose pointed at is an indignity that no one could endure. It's an affront to one's dignity and a humiliation that goes beyond the pale."
To make matters worse, the person responsible for putting them all in danger was the one doing the abusing, and when these two factors are combined, it only serves to fuel the rage of the on-site Indian team members even more.
In a flash, the atmosphere at the scene immediately intensified, with everyone except Shiva Ganesh and Arjun adopting a combat stance, as if at the command of their captain, they would turn this hateful cult leader into minced meat.
Unfortunately, Shiva Ganesh clearly had no such intention; he merely gave Yuri a deep look before turning to the blonde girl in a soft tone and asking, "Snow, are you all right?"
"Captain, I'm fine..."
A weak voice rang out, and Snow looked up at Shiva Ganesh, forcing a strained smile on her face, though the blood seeping from her seven pores slightly added to her eerie appearance.
"Hmph!"
Yurián couldn't help but sarcastically laugh at that comment.
"Alright...Well, if I had arrived a few moments later, you wouldn't have died, but you would have turned into a puppet. If that's considered being 'fine,' then I'm at a loss for words."
Shiva Ganesh's expression darkened, and he asked, "Is this the doing of the Central State team's spirit controller? Is their power truly that terrifying?"
This time, Yurián didn't make another sarcastic comment. His expression slightly serious, "Well, the strength isn't too high...I can feel it. Although that guy's spiritual power is huge, the way he uses it isn't particularly sophisticated. At most, he has only unlocked the first-stage gene lock."
By all accounts, such an effect should not have occurred. If my assumption is correct, the Central State team's spirit controller has likely acquired some sort of item that significantly boosts their total spiritual power.
But even so, the fact that I have to join forces with your spirit controllers to barely cope with it proves the strength of the Central State team... Hah! It seems like the gods' judgment was accurate after all."
As he spoke, Yurián looked towards Shiva Ganesh again, his tone faint as he asked, "Have you heard anything from the main god? How many people from the Central State team have died? And were there any individuals with gene locks among them?"
"...none. The Central State team did not suffer any casualties."
Shiva Ganesh seemed to be squeezing toothpaste out bit by bit as he uttered this phrase, and the look in his eyes towards Yurián was filled with a chilling intent.
Yurián wasn't fazed by this killing intent, but upon hearing that the Central State team didn't lose a single person, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"Even a newcomer can be protected, which means that if the veteran members of the Central State team hadn't reached twelve and all of them didn't have methods to resist nuclear bomb blasts, then it could only mean they have wide-ranging defensive items or teleportation abilities in their hands, which is quite troublesome..."
"Yurián, it seems our two teams really need to form a true alliance."
Shiva Ganesh looked at Yurián who was muttering to himself, speaking with a profound gaze, "As evident from the test just now, the Central State team's strength is certainly not something to be underestimated. Just that one spiritual power user is enough to resist two people from your Sea City team."
As for the remaining members of the Central State team, even if only one or two possess combat power, they can kill the "pigs" you have been breeding. In that case, even if you manage to return alive to the main god space, you will suffer huge losses."
Yurián narrowed his eyes, squeezing a little tighter the hand on Snow's head, then smirked mockingly, "You're right, but don't forget it was you who threw the nuclear bomb at the Central State team. Now you're also in the negative points. They're the best targets for hunting, by all accounts."
And even if our Sea City team isn't on par with the Central State, we still have the capability to go down fighting. In the end, we can just distance ourselves from the situation and focus solely on completing our main mission. We can still come out victorious in the end."
This statement is accurate on Yurián's part. Currently, the Sea City team, having killed four members of the Indian team, is now a positive two points, which translates to 4000 reward points.
And he and the other cultivator, Reinhardt, have also received an additional 8000 reward points and 4 C-class side quests.
If they can also complete the main quest, they will earn another considerable amount of reward points, making it unnecessary to continue challenging the Central State team to the very end.
In fact, they have already prepared a second plan. The Sea City team's captain, Reinhardt, is currently attempting to eliminate the so-called curse source. Once completed, the Sea City team can directly leave this terrible world and no longer bother with the so-called group battles.
"Indeed, that's the case... But don't forget, we can also go down fighting!"
At that moment, Shiva Ganesh's eyes flared with a crimson glow, and the Buddha's Wheel behind him emitted a faint golden light. A double-headed spectacle lens snake with a length of over ten meters slowly emerged from thin air and loomed over Yurián, breathing fire and lightning from its two gaping maws, emanating an incredibly perilous aura.
Moreover, not far behind him, a white man in a white lab coat smiled menacingly upon seeing this, revealing a dense covering of fine hair on his face and his mouth stretching forward like that of a human-shaped wolf.
"How, are you trying to start a fight with me?"
Yurián sneered mockingly, as if he were dismissive.
"Indeed, with our abilities, we cannot hold you back."
Shiva Ganesh looked at Yurián's silver armor and said indifferently, "But don't forget that I can make Snow stop resisting the spiritual power, let the Central State team discover us here, and then present our surrender to them."
Even I can help the Central State team, fully containing you and your captain, so they can easily collect the reward points from those 'meat pigs.' All we need is to leave three heads behind to reduce our penalty points a bit..."
"Do you think, given such generous conditions, if you were the captain of the Central State team, would you agree to our collaboration?"
The air was silent, and everyone was astonished to look at Shiva Ganesh, as if looking at a madman.
"Are you crazy?"
Yurián's face darkened, and he finally began to take the Indian captain seriously: "What you're doing serves no purpose, and the Central State team won't easily let you off..."
"Without benefits, there are no benefits. Staying alive is the most important thing. As for whether the Central State team will retaliate... Hah, who cares? At least I can have a backup in case of death!"
Shiva Ganesh stared at Yurián intensely, "Whether to fight or not, it's all up to your decision. Choose for yourself."
Elegia remained silent, just staring at Shiva Ganesh for a while before smiling, "Very well, you now have the qualification to truly ally with me... let's see if you can live up to it."
Since that's the case, I'll represent my captain and agree to your demands. From now on, we will help you to destroy the Central State team with all our might, but there is a condition. You all have to follow my orders."
"No problem!"
Shiva Ganesh revealed a smile and was about to say something when。
But just as this was about to happen, a familiar sense of coldness surged up, causing everyone's heart to flutter lightly.
Shiva Ganesh's Buddha's Wheel glowed brightly behind him, while Yurián's pupils contracted, and in the empty hand he held, a white talisman stone appeared instantly.
Bang!
White mist burst open, and a silver long rod crashed down on his head!
