Lord Hades?
Upon hearing this, Zola seemed to understand something. Could there be a connection between the identity of the man in front of him and Aaron in New York?
As the newly awakened Dalamandis processed the memories in his head, he understood everything instantly.
He was Dalamandis of the Heavenly Dream Star, the Bipedal Dragon, one of the three commanders of the Underworld Army. His current situation was not important. What mattered was that his recovery was connected to Lord Hades.
And as for the people in front of him, he now understood them after absorbing the information.
"HYDRA?"
The shirtless Dalamandis leaped out of the shattered container. To ordinary people, the impressive muscles on his body would have taken at least a decade of dedicated training. Based on his physique alone, it was clear he possessed explosive power—the kind only a seasoned, hardened soldier would have.
"You... are you even considered human?" he asked.
As soon as he spoke, the security forces guarding the underground base rushed in.
Beep... beep...
The base's alarm system instantly blared. Numerous heavily armed soldiers swarmed the room, aiming their weapons at the man.
"Don't harm the experimental specimen! Just sedate him!" Zola commanded.
Dalamandis was still shirtless, with the experimental tubes still attached to his body, looking like some kind of Frankenstein's monster that had just burst out.
"You are guilty!"
Dalamandis took a step forward. Zola quickly backed away, aiming the laser weapon on his mechanical arm at the man.
"Fools!" Dalamandis scoffed.
Even without his Specter's Surplice, these humans could not hope to handle his physical strength alone. However, without the power of his Specter, he couldn't use his true abilities.
"Fire!"
On Zola's command, countless bullets rained down on Dalamandis. However, they barely phased him. The energy wave from his awakened cosmos completely blocked the bullets.
"Why?" Dalamandis stood still, staring at the foolish humans. "Why are you so weak, yet so naive?"
As he spoke, the bullets slowly fell to the ground. A moment later, a black light enveloped his body, and a black armor slowly emerged, covering him completely.
This was a Specter! This was a commander of the Underworld! This was the true form of Wyvern Dalamandis!
"This! You! And the aura on that Aaron!" Zola stammered.
An aura of despair instantly filled the entire experimental center. Zola and the soldiers all felt completely hopeless. Their bodies, as if no longer under their control, stood motionless.
Death was coming for Zola again. This time, it seemed there was no escape.
"Fire! Fire!" Zola roared in desperation, and the soldiers behind him tried their best to unleash their full firepower.
But it was no use. The weapons had no effect at all on the Specter now clad in his Surplice.
"Hmph, weak humans!"
Dalamandis had no interest in this group of people. Although he had just recovered and his abilities were not yet fully awakened, dealing with these mortals required almost no effort.
"Idiots like you will fall into the Ice Hell and suffer eternal remorse there!"
The words were spoken, and a wave of energy slowly gathered in Dalamandis's hands.
"Greatest Caution!"
This was Dalamandis's special technique. He also intended to use this energy fluctuation to signal to Lord Hades that he had recovered.
Endless dark energy gathered in his hands like eternal ice, causing every HYDRA member present to feel the breath of death.
"No! Please! Don't kill me!" the soldiers cried, dropping to their knees. Their bodies were weak, and they could no longer muster any will to fight.
"It's too late. You've offended Lord Hades..."
The dark energy wave, like a machine gun, swept through the entire underground base. No one could escape.
An endless roar echoed through the underground facility, and even the ground above seemed to shake violently. Darkness gradually enveloped the entire lab. All the dirty lives within were reduced to a pile of flesh under Dalamandis's fists.
Drip... drip...
The liquid from the containers slowly seeped into the floor. Dalamandis glanced at his fist, then at the carnage around him, before finally turning to Zola.
"A mechanical life form? Lord Hades would probably be interested. Why don't you come with me to see him?"
