"What! Where are they?!"
Everyone was shocked, and then a sound suddenly came from behind them.
"Ahhh!"
They had heard enough screams today, but upon hearing this sound, they still turned around.
In the gloomy alley, the continuous screams made the atmosphere of the alley even more eerie. After they turned around, they saw the white-haired strong man had already retreated to the edge, and that strange guy had actually run behind them. How did he get past them and block the rear?
White, who had originally intended to sneak away, saw someone suddenly appear in front of him and was so startled that he almost dropped the gun in his hand. He quickly retreated a few steps, putting distance between himself and Noah.
"Friend, it was this guy who tried to attack you just now. If you want to kill, kill him. Let me go, I can give you money." White kept retreating, pointing at 'Limb Breaker', who was lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
As soon as he said this, 'Limb Breaker's' subordinates glared at him angrily, but Noah did not speak. He hadn't spoken from the beginning.
Noah slightly raised his hand, his index finger pointing at White. White's heart tightened, but the other party still didn't speak. The intense tension kept White's heart taut, but the other party made no move. For a moment, the atmosphere in the scene became somewhat heavy. The violent gasping of the people around him, and 'Limb Breaker's' continuous cursing, caused White's strained nerves to completely snap.
"Damn it! Shoot him dead!!"
White finally couldn't hold back. The other party kept pointing at him, clearly not intending to let him go. In that case, it was better to fight him. Led by White, everyone once again pulled the trigger and fired at Noah.
A hail of bullets came again. From the index finger of Noah's raised purple gauntlet, a yellow light illuminated from his fingertip. Then, lightning suddenly flashed and thundered in the air. Lightning shot out from Noah's fingertip, like a yellow crack opening in space. The lightning spread through the air, and the incoming bullets were directly enveloped by the lightning, then melted into molten iron under the high-temperature lightning.
"What the f***!! What is this thing!"
"Oh my god, is the other side a god? We provoked a god!!"
Everyone cried out in disbelief, and some who witnessed this terrifying scene became mentally disoriented. After Noah melted the bullets with lightning, he shot a thick bolt of lightning at White.
White, struck by the lightning, couldn't even speak. He was directly enveloped by the lightning, slowly transforming from a flesh-and-blood body into a charred Black corpse. The burning smell that emanated caused the people nearby to retch.
However, the matter was not over. Under the purple gauntlet on Noah's right hand, there was also a ring. Although wearing a ring and then a gauntlet was somewhat strange, Noah wore it without any discomfort. The gauntlet seemed to adjust its space on its own.
The ring on his index finger glowed slightly. At the charred remains, a white, slightly transparent soul slowly appeared. This soul was in White's likeness. At this moment, he looked at his body with a hint of confusion.
"This… What is this!!!" At this moment, the people nearby suddenly cried out in shock, looking at the soul floating out of White.
"Hmm? They can actually see it?" Noah was somewhat surprised to see this. He didn't expect these people could see souls. Is the soul extracted by the ring different? Noah thought that ordinary people couldn't see souls.
However, with a thought from Noah, Dark Seal glowed slightly. The white soul became even more transparent, and this time, those people couldn't see it. They looked around in a panic because of the disappearance of White's soul.
"Hmm, that's better." Noah nodded slightly, then Dark Seal glowed again. White's soul, suspended in the air, was suddenly drawn by a huge suction force, flying towards Noah, then let out a scream as it was slowly absorbed into Dark Seal.
White's screaming soul was not heard by the subordinates. They were already trembling with fear due to Noah's lightning strike just now, and they all started to run away, leaving 'Limb Breaker' on the ground and their boss inside. They felt their lives were more important.
"Hat, it's your turn."
Noah did not rush to stop them, but instead spoke to Deathcap above his head. Deathcap's wide mouth curved slightly upwards, as if happy that Noah would let him make an appearance.
The hat detached from Noah's head and began to fly into the air. After excitedly circling once, it chased after the group of fleeing people. Along the way, it even spat out a mouthful of magic flames, igniting 'Limb Breaker', who had initially fallen to the ground. The magic flames were exceptionally fierce, and 'Limb Breaker' was burned to ashes amidst screams.
Noah raised his hand and once again absorbed the soul from the ashes. After absorbing two souls, Noah could already clearly feel the boost this ring brought him. This increase in power was simply too easy.
Noah felt that if he could collect all the souls in New York, America, or even the entire World, he wondered how powerful he could become. Noah shook his head, dispelling such terrifying thoughts, then swiped his hand, and a wind wall directly sealed off the escape route of the group of people.
A strong man, who was running the fastest, didn't notice what was ahead and directly slammed into it. This wind wall had been imbued with sword qi by Noah. As Noah became more proficient in Wind Control Sword Art, he was able to unleash its power bare-handed.
The strong man who crashed into it was directly twisted into a blood mist, as if he had been caught in a meat grinder, by the sharp sword qi. This horrifying scene made the people who were running stop in their tracks, their legs starting to tremble.
A sound came from the air. Their tensed nerves made them look in that direction, only to see the hat on the strange person's head flying in the sky. Someone pulled out a gun and shot, but the bullets were melted by a mouthful of blue flames spat out by the hat. The flames did not diminish, rushing directly towards that person.
Charred remains were produced again, and then Deathcap began a cat-and-mouse game, spewing flames everywhere on the ground. Everyone started screaming and dodging. Noah raised an eyebrow, seeing how playful Deathcap was.
However, Noah decided to end the battle quickly. With a flash of purple light from his right hand, Noah directly warped into the middle of the crowd. Then, a purple energy wave began to spread outwards from Noah's position. Those who were touched directly turned into ashes, their souls absorbed by Noah.
Lightning was released from his hand again, striking one person, then passing through to strike another, forming a lightning chain that connected everyone together. They then trembled continuously from the electric shock of the lightning. After Noah increased the power, a series of people directly fell to the ground, smoking all over, their life signs gone.
Over a dozen souls were absorbed by Dark Seal. The sudden surge of power made Noah take a deep breath; the feeling was exhilarating.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Black, who heard the commotion outside cease and wanted to check the situation through the peephole, happened to witness this terrifying scene. The two of them hadn't fled yet, simply because they initially thought it was some enemies of their own coming for revenge, so they hadn't paid much attention. They didn't expect to see this scene through the peephole after the outside went silent.
"Shit, run, there's a monster." Black, in the white suit, quickly left the door, wanting to run to the back.
"What? What happened?" Layton was a bit confused, not knowing what his partner was doing.
"Boom!"
But before he could answer, with a loud bang, the iron door exploded open, and a robed figure burst in.
Noah looked at these two gang leaders. They were the most deserving of death today, as Noah had learned from the information Lissandra provided.
"Today, I want to see if your souls are Black." Noah extended his hand and clenched it, magic condensing in the air, squeezing the two men in suits, whose hearts were dark.
"Ah!" * 2
As Noah's palm slowly contracted, the two people squeezed by magic in the air began to scream. Their ribs groaned under the unbearable pressure, then fractured. Under the immense pressure, blood began to flow from their seven orifices. Then Noah squeezed hard, and with a squelch, the two turned into two puddles of flesh in the air.
Looking at this scene, Noah frowned. He realized if he had been too easily angered just now. After thinking about it, Noah felt that Dark Seal might have some influence on him, but this influence was relatively small; as long as Noah paid attention, it would not cause any problems.
After extracting their souls, Noah looked at the two white souls, pouted, and then tried to shock the two souls with lightning. The lightning formed by magic, upon contact with the two souls, made them scream directly.
"Hmm? It actually works." Noah's eyes lit up. After shocking them for a while, he absorbed the two souls into the ring.
Noah sensed the current state of Dark Seal and felt that it still needed a lot of souls to be filled. However, Noah was not in a hurry. With so many people in Hell's Kitchen, he would eventually fill this ring.
After dealing with these people, Noah looked at the rooms where people were held. He had Lissandra hack into the New York Police Department to report, telling Lissandra to inform them that there was a gang trafficking people here. Because it was a hack, the Police department was first shocked, then warned that it was an illegal act, and then also dispatched some officers to check the situation.
Soon after, the Police arrived at the scene. Seeing the bodies everywhere, many Police were shocked, and some new recruits who had just joined the force even started vomiting.
Then, after a search, they rescued dozens of trafficked girls from all over the World in several rooms.
Noah, seeing this scene from the rooftop, nodded in satisfaction and ascended into the air, departing.
