Buzz… buzz… buzz!
Armored helicopters circled high above, their searchlights sweeping back and forth.
They illuminated the secret military base, which had been reduced to near ruins.
The California Peacekeeping Force and local police arrived at the scene immediately.
They sealed off the area within a hundred meters.
They even evacuated nearby residents, deciding to deploy weapons of mass destruction to eliminate the international criminal organization, the Black Hand Gang, in one fell swoop.
"Valon, has he really become this audacious?!"
General Kusa, his features stern, wearing camouflage fatigues, stared at the real-time monitoring footage on the screen. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, feeling an almost overwhelming surge of anger.
Black Hand Gang!
They're a notorious criminal organization in California.
Rumor has it they're active worldwide, searching for a certain Talisman.
And, they're suspected of kidnapping homeless people off the streets for illegal live experiments!
General Kusa was absolutely furious.
If his colleagues found out about this, he'd be completely humiliated.
Even his close friend, General Thunderbolt Ross, would laugh himself silly!
"Aim at Valon!"
"Shoot immediately if the attempt to persuade him fails!"
General Kusa crossed his arms, his tall, muscular frame radiating hostility.
"Understood!"
A sniper, positioned on top of a nearby skyscraper, responded in a low voice.
Barrett finished assembling his weapon, his index finger resting on the trigger, ready to unleash a deadly bullet.
However, Valon, who resembled a humanoid lizard, had been granted fiery power by Lord. His physical attributes had been greatly enhanced, and his body was covered in tough scales, capable of mitigating damage from conventional firearms and artillery.
It was likely Barrett wouldn't be able to kill him!
"Oh dear!"
"We have to fight fire with fire!"
A sharp, grating voice suddenly crackled over the radio.
"My apologies, General Kusa."
Sheriff Blake immediately apologized.
"Never underestimate the dark creatures summoned by the Fire Tyrant!"
Lo Pei, the Dragon Warrior, dressed in ancient attire, offered a friendly reminder.
Huh?
General Kusa frowned, immediately feeling annoyed and depressed.
Why were there still the languages of those Eastern monkeys?
It was utterly unpleasant to listen to!
General Kusa was even more dismissive of his father's and Lo Pei's words.
Demons.
These creatures are just fabrications of fantasy.
They don't exist in reality!
You're just a bunch of uncultured Eastern monkeys, probably never even heard of genetic mutation.
This so-called Fire Tyrant is probably just some low-grade mutant of unknown origin.
Mutant abilities are incredibly diverse.
During World War II, many of the most valiant mercenaries were, almost without exception, carriers of the X-Factor, genuine mutants.
With improving living standards, further population growth, and the rapid advancements in modern technology, the number of mutants has also skyrocketed.
The mutant population encompasses virtually all walks of life and nationalities.
There are no differences in skin color or race.
The highest known level is Omega Level.
Even on the entire Earth, they are few and far between.
"According to my deduction, the suit-wearing thug Valon became a humanoid lizard because he recently awakened his X-Factor, causing a genetic mutation and atavism!"
General Kusa has personally arrested countless mutants.
Even General William Stryker, the founder of the Sentinel Task Force, would give him three points of respect.
Otherwise, the work of the Sentinel Task Force in the California region simply couldn't proceed in an orderly manner.
General Kusa, who holds the power of life and death and dominates the West Coast, is by no means a good person.
"No Eastern monkey will fool me!"
"Lo Pei."
"You haven't changed a bit."
Shen Du's lips curled into an intriguing smile as he spoke.
"If you knew what the last emperor of the Lin Dynasty had done, would you regret supporting the Lin Dynasty's rise to power?"
Regret?
Lo Pei's expression shifted.
But he quickly regained his composure, showing no worry.
He even retorted, "Lord, I am merely a terracotta warrior who was fortunate enough to be resurrected."
"The rise and fall of the Lin Dynasty is of no concern to me. My only purpose for being revived is to petrify you again."
Buzz!
Lo Pei, the Dragon Warrior, formed seals with his hands, and sheets of paper imprinted with ancient characters flew from his sleeves.
Emerald light permeated them.
Magical incantations echoed.
An aura of righteousness spread outwards.
It made the solemn military base seem to transform into paradise.
"Valon!"
"Stop Lo Pei from casting Petrification Magic!"
Shen Du waved his claw.
Suddenly.
The suit-clad Valon charged at Lo Pei, the Dragon Warrior, taking the lead, with flames blazing into existence in his hands.
The terrifying heat was so intense that it distorted the air, causing it to shimmer and create illusions.
At the same time.
Shhh-shhh-shhh! Shadows moved rapidly, weaving through the gaps between the bricks.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the only path the California peacekeeping force would take.
Clang-clang-clang!
The soldiers didn't have time to pull the triggers before a hail of kunai and shuriken came flying at them.
The dark weapons glinted with a sharp, deadly light.
In an instant, they pierced the throats of the American soldiers! Night was the perfect camouflage for the Shadow Ninjas!
The SEAL Team, who had never faced supernatural forces, looked like lambs to the slaughter, their faces filled with utter terror! They fired wildly.
Instead, they killed their own comrades!
