At this moment, within the Dark City.
“Eldest Brother, Second Brother, that guy not only killed My subordinate, but also insulted our Dark City without respect.? If I hadn’t turned into black smoke and escaped in time, you probably wouldn’t have seen me again.”? Inside the hall, Dark Leopard was tearfully speaking to Dark Dragon and Dark Tiger.
Seeing the appearance of their younger brother narrowly escaping death, the furrowed brows of the two immediately creased even further.? They hadn’t expected this young man to be so arrogant, daring to bully the people of their Dark City.? He even killed Dark Leopard’s loyal subordinate.
“He really thinks highly of himself!? Does this kid think he can just kill anyone from our Dark City?? Too audacious!”? Second Brother Dark Tiger slammed the table angrily, standing up with fury.? This was the first time he had been so angry, and it was all because of a young man he hadn’t even met before.
“Second Brother, you’re right.? This kid is utterly disrespectful, acting as if no one is worth his attention.? He even brazenly boasted that killing us is as simple as crushing an ant!? I can’t swallow this humiliation!”? Dark Leopard recalled David’s arrogant demeanor, and his face instantly flushed with intense anger.
As the third-in-command in the Dark City, under one person and above ten thousand, how could he tolerate this humiliation?? That’s why, on his way back, he made up his mind that no matter what, his two elder brothers needed to teach David a lesson.? Otherwise, where would he put his face in the future?
Indeed, Dark Leopard’s words further ignited Dark Tiger’s anger.? Flames suddenly erupted from his eyes, as if he wished to rush to David right now and tear him into pieces.? Since the establishment of the Dark City, although they hadn’t fully revealed their true strength in the harsh world, they were still one of the three major forces in this desolate land.? The very title was something he couldn’t bear to see being disrespected by David.? So, he turned to their eldest brother, Dark Dragon.
“Eldest Brother, both Third Brother and I can’t endure this.? Just say the word, and the two of us will go out and take care of that guy!? Otherwise, how are we going to survive in this desolate world?? How will the Zerg and Kui tribe see us?”? Dark Tiger’s voice grew angrier as he spoke, his fists clenched tightly, and veins popped out on his arms.
Listening to their words, the eldest brother Dark Dragon still had a furrowed brow, his expression serious.? He naturally believed Dark Leopard’s words;? he couldn’t have imagined that such a powerful human would appear in this desolate world.
Seeing the determination in their eyes to seek revenge right away, Dark Dragon pondered for a moment before nodding slightly and saying, “Our Dark City has remained silent for too long.? It’s time for us to go out and establish our dominance.? Coincidentally, we also intend to launch an attack on the Kui? tribe.? It’s best to take them down at this opportune moment.”
“By then, we’ll have more leverage when dealing with the Zerg.”? Dark Dragon’s words ignited excitement in Dark Tiger and Dark Leopard.? They had been waiting for a chance to unleash their stored power, and now, they finally heard their elder brother speak the words they longed for.? Both of them revealed bloodthirsty expressions on their faces.
“Eldest Brother, in my opinion, let Second Brother and me go out first to deal with that guy.? Then you can lead our zombie army and charge over!? This way, we’ll coordinate our attacks from the front and back, catching them off guard.”
Dark Leopard was completely driven by the urge for revenge.? His principle was that debts should not go unpaid overnight.? He had to seize the opportunity to eliminate David quickly.? With him and his Second Brother, he believed they could easily handle David.? And when that happened, David would have to kneel before him and apologize.? Moreover, his dream lover Viola would become his possession.? Dark Leopard grew more excited as he thought about it, his whole body trembling with anticipation. ｂ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟ｌ.
“I think Third Brother’s idea is correct!”? Dark Tiger also chimed in from the side, echoing his sentiments.
After a moment of contemplation, Dark Dragon nodded.? He believed in the strength of his two younger brothers.? Thus, before nightfall, Dark Tiger and Dark Leopard quickly left through the city gates.? Led by Dark Leopard, they headed towards the territory of the Kui tribe.
After returning to his Golden Base, David first consumed two Gene Fruits himself and also gave one to Mandy.? Within a few minutes, their energy and stamina quickly recovered.? Looking at his Golden Base, David wasn’t in a hurry to continue upgrading it.? He knew that what mattered most to him now wasn’t the shelter but his own strength.
With this in mind, David retrieved ten advanced Pronucleus from his system warehouse.? As he looked at these Pronucleus that radiated a brilliant light and an aura of dominance, he felt a surge of power and absorbed them completely into his body.? Instantly, a surge began to course through him, leading to even physical changes in his body.
David closed his eyes, carefully feeling the changes in every inch of his muscles and veins.? After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.? In that instant, a golden light flashed in his pupils.
[Ding!? Congratulations to the host for reaching level twelve! ]
[Ding!? Congratulations to the host for strengthening the critical strike rate of the Space Blade to one hundred percent! ]
[Ding!? Congratulations to the host for unlocking the Eye of Insight! ]
A series of system notification sounds echoed in David’s ears.? At level twelve, he was already equivalent to level thirteen in the post-apocalyptic world.? He had even surpassed the level classification for Espers in the apocalypse, reaching a transformation beyond levels.
If the present-day David were to return to the post-apocalyptic world, he would be a supreme powerhouse, making decisions for all eternity and capable of achieving anything.
However, David’s attention was focused on the newly acquired Eye of Insight.
[Eye of Insight: Allows the host to sense all movements within a thirty-kilometer radius.]
[Potential function: Probe the mysteries of the desolate world.]
A grape-sized triangular metal eye appeared in the void and floated in front of David.? This was the Eye of Insight he had just obtained.? As soon as it appeared, though, it vanished into thin air.
Upon closer attention, David realized that it had fused with him.? With a simple thought, he could instantly sense everything within a thirty-kilometer radius, helping him predict upcoming events and even remotely monitor objects of his choosing.
Satisfied, David nodded.? While the Eye of Insight was only a supportive ability, what he valued more was its potential function: probing the mysteries of the desolate world.? This was his ultimate goal for entering this world.? Only by grasping the secrets here could he truly control this world.? With a thought, he tested the Eye of Insight’s function.
The distant chirping of birds, the buzzing of insects, all of it entered David’s ears with clarity.? He could even visualize these scenes.
“Hmm?? This guy is back again?”? David suddenly saw two figures rapidly flying toward his direction from a distance, one of them being Dark Leopard who had escaped not long ago.
