Bang—!
A crisp popping sound rang in his ears, and Satomi Rentaro instinctively looked towards the source of the sound.
Like a balloon filled with air and then pricked by a steel needle.
Among the crowd standing in the square, one person suddenly exploded.
Subsequently, as if to signal the start, a second person, then a third, exploded into thin air, and the phenomenon began to escalate.
As far as the eye could see, vibrant splashes of blood continuously bloomed.
Terrified screams, reverent pleas for mercy, and the shouts of the crowded masses.
All sorts of sounds mingled together, like a symphony from hell, unfolding in the bustling square.
"That bastard! What has he done!"
Satomi Rentaro's face showed an angry expression.
Bullying the Cursed Children was indeed wrong and sinful, but how could he kill people so wantonly?
In less than a dozen seconds, the once crowded square had lost more than half of its occupants.
In Satomi Rentaro's view, what difference was there between this and those perpetrators? It was even more excessive.
"I'm going to stop him!"
Satomi Rentaro looked in the direction of the Saint Empress's palace, wanting to find Lin Que.
But before he could act, a terrifying pressure suddenly bore down on him.
His legs instinctively bent, and Satomi Rentaro instantly knelt on the ground.
Bang—!
"What difference is there between me and the perpetrators?"
As if he had heard Satomi Rentaro's inner thoughts, Lin Que on the screen laughed again.
"A question of utmost ignorance! Isn't the answer obvious?!"
"The biggest difference between me and those weak, powerless guys is that I am strong enough!"
Boom—!
Like a clap of thunder, a deafening roar resounded across the entire world.
It wasn't transmitted through communication devices, but purely by his own power, his voice spread throughout the world.
At this instant, Lin Que's figure appeared before the eyes of everyone in the world of Black Bullet.
He stood there quietly, a wanton smile on his face, reaching out to challenge them.
"If you are dissatisfied with me, then come forward!"
"If you can't, then stay kneeling on the ground forever!"
Boom—!
A terrifying aura spread across the entire world, and everyone's bodies slightly sank at that moment.
As for Satomi Rentaro, who was specifically targeted, his knees even created two indentations in the ground, and he fell unconscious in a kneeling posture.
...
"It's about time to stop."
Gazing at Lin Que, who was exhibiting utter arrogance, the Saint Empress, who had already witnessed his god-like power, hesitated for a moment before speaking with reluctance.
"Instead of senseless slaughter, you could clearly have better ways to make people and the Cursed Children coexist peacefully."
"Better ways? Such as?"
Lin Que turned around, a sarcastic smile on his face: "Like your new Gastrea law that you painstakingly promoted but no one followed?"
"But…"
"Shut up."
Lin Que narrowed his eyes: "I spared you because your face isn't bad, but that doesn't mean you're special."
"If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll send you on your way, so you can go down and coexist peacefully with those guys."
"..."
Hearing Lin Que's words, the Saint Empress finally calmed down this time.
No one likes to die, especially a meaningless death.
In the face of such a disparity in power, which was not of the same dimension, the only thing she could do now was to comfort those who survived after Lin Que stopped.
"Alright, the first wave of screening is over."
After silencing the Saint Empress, Lin Que's attention returned to the main business.
As a man of his word, if he said he would kill everyone unwilling to cooperate, then naturally, no one would be left.
The first wave earlier only eliminated those who happened to be within earshot of his voice and were emitting intense emotions.
And after clearing out over 50% of the world's population, with the monitoring pressure significantly reduced, Lin Que could proceed with a deeper, second round of screening.
Observation Haki was activated again, spreading from Tokyo to the entire Neon, and then across the entire world in the blink of an eye.
This time, he carefully listened to everyone's inner voices and understood their thoughts.
"As expected, there are still quite a few who slipped through the net."
A few seconds later, Lin Que stopped monitoring, satisfied.
Looking at the camera in front of him, a joyful smile reappeared on his face.
"Everyone, are you ready?"
"The second round of hunting has begun."
...
After the second round of screening, Lin Que did not stop there.
As one of the few worlds where he didn't need to consider the feelings of the group members and could wantonly destroy, Lin Que naturally had to seize the opportunity and play to his heart's content.
After five consecutive rounds of screening, after clearing out those who liked to harm Cursed Children, he also took the opportunity to eliminate many people from gray forces.
Wanted fugitives, murderous bandits, and peers who enjoyed the suffering of others—
Every single one of them, as long as Lin Que found them displeasing, was conveniently eliminated.
Of course, the subsequent actions still needed to be slightly concealed.
Closing the broadcasting device in front of him, Lin Que, who had played a bit too much, coughed and looked at Tendo Kisara behind him.
"As expected, it's done."
[Group member 'Sea King' has annihilated over 70% of the world's population, gaining 1000 world prestige points and 60000 group points as a reward.]
"Thank you."
Listening to the notification sound in her ear, Tendo Kisara remarked with some surprise.
"No wonder the environment for Cursed Children is so harsh; I didn't expect so many people in this world to be hostile towards Cursed Children."
No, the hostile part should only be about 60%.
The remaining 10% was purely because he had killed so enthusiastically that he cleared them out along the way.
Sensing the current situation around the world, Lin Que pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you need me to stay for a while?"
"Although the targets have been temporarily cleared, it has also caused some trouble."
"Currently, the management in various parts of the world is quite chaotic. If you need it, I can help you stabilize things before I leave."
Tendo Kisara, who had also thought of this issue, gratefully said, "Then I'll trouble you."
"It's nothing; didn't I tell you before?"
Lin Que's gaze lingered on Tendo Kisara for a moment, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"My service will definitely make you satisfied from the inside out, in every aspect."
