Chapter 40: Chapter 40: I am the Sovereign, Invincible!
In Shen Hao’s eyes, all the people before him—whether they be doctors, nurses, accompanying family members, or those lying on the hospital beds—were all Blood Demons!
One could imagine that some of them had probably been turned into Blood Demons within the last two or three hours.
If Shen Hao hadn’t come here and let these Blood Demons know they could no longer hide, perhaps every person who walked into this hospital would be infected!
“Isn’t this you asking us to come out and face your inspection?” the Blood Demon possessing Zhuang Tianze said with a smile, spreading his arms, “Now, we’ve all come!”
They were merely Blood Demons, but at this moment, their arrogance, wantonness, and even wildness were on full and unrestrained display.
Coupled with the densely packed hospital beds and the empty gaze of the patients, everyone felt a chilling sensation.
Many viewers in front of the television even covered their mouths, trembling with fear all over.
On one hand, they were oppressed by the Blood Demons’ aura; on the other, they were terrified by the staggering number of them.
A few Blood Demons in the crowd might just be prey, but the appearance of a large number of Blood Demons could make people feel an omnipresent danger!
The fear of the people stemmed from being unable to imagine what would happen if they entered this hospital!
Even the soldiers who had undergone rigorous training had their muscles tensed and were gripping their weapons tightly!
“Team leader, the situation is a bit dire; the number of Blood Demons far exceeds our expectations.” Dong Gong’s voice also rang in Shen Hao’s earpiece, “There are probably no survivors inside, why not just cleanse the place with heavy firepower?”

“We would lose many points that way,” Shen Hao spoke soothingly, “Don’t worry, numbers mean nothing to me.”
Indeed, it didn’t matter.
By now, Shen Hao had more or less understood what he was relying on to detect the Blood Demons.
Humans, though frail, also contained some incredible potential, including some perceptions that were temporarily difficult to explain with science, intuition or sixth sense being among them.
The perceptions of ordinary people are vague, sometimes working and other times not.
However, after acquiring the Talent of Sovereignty, Shen Hao was able to control everything about himself, naturally including this intuition.
That’s why he could accurately identify the Blood Demons, and by the same token, he could also accurately sense danger.
Now, facing these more than one thousand five hundred Blood Demons, Shen Hao felt no sense of danger at all!
Yes, absolutely none!
Just as he had said, to him, numbers might truly mean nothing.
But Shen Hao’s gaze settled on the leading Blood Demon.
“You seem, a bit different,” he squinted slightly.
“Can you actually tell?” the Blood Demon wearing Zhuang Tianze’s appearance didn’t lessen his smile, looking at Shen Hao mockingly, “You must be the Chosen One with a Purple Epic Talent—impressive. A one in ten thousand chance among Chosen Ones, maybe you are the most powerful Chosen One of the entire Human Civilization.”
“…” Shen Hao remained silent.
But just this exchange had already revealed quite a bit of information.
The Blood Demons actually knew about the Talents of Chosen Ones!
In fact, when Shen Hao spoke of differences, he was not referring to strength or aura, but to the fact that this Blood Demon seemed more sentient.
From what was known so far, once Blood Demons exposed their true form and stopped disguising themselves, their eyes would be empty, their emotions null, only showing reverence in the face of the Sovereign’s Suppression and instinctive fear in the face of death.
However, this Blood Demon seemed different.
He no longer disguised himself, but his eyes carried a bloodthirsty, mocking, and mad look.
“`
Contrasted with the emptiness of the other Blood Demons around, it created a sharp distinction.
Shen Hao’s silence didn’t affect it in the least; instead, it made the smile on its face even more ferocious.
“Too bad, you discovered it too late. Let me guess your level, Level 1? Or Level 2? Do you know my level?” The Blood Demon raised a hand, with four fingers upright, “Level 4! This is the power amassed from one hundred and twelve humans. The disparity between us has grown so large you can’t even imagine! If not for Mother’s order to stay hidden, I would’ve longed to taste the flavor of the strongest Chosen One! Never would I have thought you’d come to me on your own, so— struggle as you might for my entertainment, insignificant food!”
With the last sentence, the Blood Demon’s body began to swell rapidly, no longer just oozing blood; even its muscles roiled and transformed, as sharp, chilling bones rapidly spread from the bloated, twisted flesh. Within seconds, a monster standing three to four meters tall, covered in flesh and bone spurs, appeared before the camera!
Roar—!
The roar burst from its Big Mouth, and one could even see visible waves of air tumbling forth!
A monster! This is a true monster!
At this moment, countless people turned pale, and even through the screen, they could feel the terror of this monster!
This wasn’t on the same level as any of the other Blood Demons before!
The difference was visible to the naked eye!
Somepeople were frantically typing on their keyboards.
“Run!”
“Only heavy weaponry can deal with such a monster!”
“There are still over a thousand Blood Demons!”
“We must cover Shen Hao’s retreat; if he dies, who can differentiate the monsters!”
“Two levels difference?!”
“My God! It has consumed over a hundred people!”
“…”
Perhaps not everyone thought Shen Hao wasn’t a match, but all understood the importance of Shen Hao. At this moment, anxiety gripped countless individuals!
However, it seemed like the Blood Demon didn’t want to waste any more time.
Lifting its sharp claws, it swiped lightly.
In an instant, red blood surged forth from all the Blood Demons, forming into various weapons. Every patient, every doctor, every nurse, at that moment, became a ferocious monster, leaping and charging wildly!
From beds, trees, buildings, and even mid-air…
Under the camera’s gaze, it was as if a monstrous blood sea had erupted!
Even the reporters screamed aloud at the moment, more faces turned white as they closed their eyes, unable to discern if the screams were from the television or their own.
Even Dong Gong at this time was clenching his fists, his spirit stretched to the utmost!
However! Shen Hao’s expression remained calm.
Because he felt no danger!
Indeed, he had prepared a series of drugs, but even facing these thousand-plus Blood Demons, and even facing the monster far more gruesome and horrifying than the average Blood Demon, he still felt no danger.
“So that’s how it is.”
It seemed Shen Hao had understood something.
He didn’t retreat but instead took a step forward toward the seemingly endless tide of Blood Demons.
“I am the Sovereign, thus invincible!”
