Outside the cordon, amidst the crowd.
Alan Folker looked up at the mysterious area, where strong winds constantly swirled in the air. It was clear that a huge amount of energy, perhaps even some mutated energy, was being generated beneath the giant pit, leading to the scene before him.
Strange, the energy produced is enormous. Was it caused by a meteor?
This meteor arrived very suddenly, and the energy it generated seemed to have been forming for a long time. The news just reported that it occurred a month ago, meaning it took a full month for this strange phenomenon to form.
As Alan Folker thought this, he inexplicably had an ominous premonition. Based on his experience, the abnormal changes caused by a meteor falling were definitely not simple matters. Perhaps some creatures had already emerged from here.
After all, the Marvel Universe is full of wonders, and the unknown life forms in this Universe are countless. Who knows what these things are.
But, just then.
Alan Folker's sensitive sense of smell seemed to detect a scent in the crowd. It was a very strange smell, neither foul nor fragrant, but very unique.
He couldn't help but glance through the crowd, his gaze finally settling on a young Asian girl in a white dress, whose expression was very cold.
The girl's gaze was fixed on the scene beyond the cordon, then she suddenly turned and looked at Alan Folker, a cold smile appearing at the corner of her lips.
"Girl, meteor, suspension!" Alan Folker's expression tightened. These pieces of information couldn't be connected at all.
The girl glanced, then turned and left the crowd, and that scent gradually disappeared.
Alan Folker quickly chased after her, unaware that the girl had actually spotted him. She quickened her pace considerably, leaving the dense crowd and heading towards a gradually quieter area.
However, even with Alan Folker's speed, he lost track of his target.
"She's gone?"
Alan Folker frowned, then released a spiritual pressure, sensing everything around him.
"Who's there?"
He instantly locked onto a target, but the opponent immediately swung a dagger to attack. It wasn't one, but dozens of enemies in black, armed with weapons.
"They all have that smell. Are these not humans?"
Clearly, because he had followed the girl, these warriors were here to attack him, even to kill him.
Regardless, no matter what their purpose, encountering Alan Folker was their nightmare.
"Perfect, let me try Aizen's power!"
Alan Folker's eyes sharpened as he gazed at the surrounding warriors. They possessed weapons Alan Folker had never seen before, like harpoons, yet also like rakes—very strange indeed.
But, in the next second, blue aura emanated from these warriors, and their weapons were charged with deep blue lightning.
"Bang!"
A blur, one after another, charged directly at Alan Folker.
Alan Folker quickly dodged, then weaved through the alleyways, evading their pursuit.
During the continuous dodging, Alan Folker took out Kyoka Suigetsu from his spatial storage, gripping the long blade in his hand. He stopped on a rooftop, suddenly turned around, and looked at the warriors chasing him.
"Alright, everyone, the game of hide-and-seek is over!"
Alan Folker released a powerful spiritual pressure throughout his body. The surrounding air seemed to solidify, and the humans, who had been moving rapidly, slowed down significantly under the spiritual pressure, even losing their ability to move.
The girl leaped from the ground, standing high up, looking at Alan Folker from a distance, and said coldly, "He seems to be an ability user."
"Eliminate all ability users on this Planet." The girl's voice was cold and full of authority.
"As you command, Blood Queen!"
Upon hearing this, Alan Folker showed a surprised expression. Could this girl be the evil Witch, Blood Queen, suppressed for a thousand years? Wasn't she killed by Hellboy?
He never expected a seemingly innocent young girl to be the Blood Queen?
Alan Folker's expression was solemn. He couldn't help but scrutinize the Blood Queen before him, who was completely different from the one in his mind. He asked in confusion, "What exactly is your objective?"
That cold voice filled the entire silent alleyway.
However, the Blood Queen did not answer. Instead, she glanced at the dozens of fully armed warriors before her, and then disappeared into the distance.
Alan Folker frowned slightly, watching the Blood Queen disappear, then looked at the menacing warriors who couldn't move due to his spiritual pressure. He raised the Kyoka Suigetsu in his hand, releasing a powerful energy.
"Shikai!"
"Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu!"
Alan Folker's expression was calm, his cold voice echoing around him as he let the blade of Kyoka Suigetsu fall to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, everything around him changed. The surrounding buildings suddenly disappeared, entering the World of the blade.
In this special World, dense black mist permeated, Water constantly flowed, and the warriors before him were completely hypnotized under the Shikai effect of Kyoka Suigetsu.
"This is the power of Kyoka Suigetsu, complete hypnosis. Now, slaughter each other!"
Alan Folker's expression was calm, without the slightest ripple, as he looked at the warriors before him and said sternly. This voice, to the warriors, became a provocative language, and they immediately picked up their weapons, madly attacking those around them.
Streaks of blue blood bloomed in the air, splattering everywhere.
[Ding, congratulations Host for perfectly using Aizen's Shikai. Progression 40%. Acquired skill Bankai!]
"Bankai, the true terrifying power of Kyoka Suigetsu!"
Alan Folker stood tall, watching the scene of slaughter, a surprised expression on his face. Beneath the blue blood, a primitive form, a Beast-like corpse, appeared before him.
"The face of a Beast, the body of a human. What exactly are these things?"
On the ground, bodies appeared one after another. What were originally human forms had completely transformed into their primal forms, lying in pools of blue blood.
Tens of seconds later, the warriors who had been chasing him were completely annihilated, and dozens of corpses lay on the ground.
Alan Folker put away Kyoka Suigetsu, landed on the ground, and slowly walked towards one of the corpses, squatting down, wanting to check their aura.
Blood Queen and alien life. Alan Folker's expression was puzzled. What was the connection between the two?
But just then, the sound of high heels echoed from a distance.
A figure rushed out from the passageway and met Alan Folker's gaze.
Alan Folker did not try to hide. At this moment, he was merely an eyewitness. His refined and scholarly demeanor made him seem completely unlike someone who had killed these strange, mysterious creatures.
"Quake? Daisy!" Alan Folker scrutinized the girl who appeared, his heart shocked.
The daughter of the supervillain Calvin Zabo, Mr. Hyde, Daisy inherited her father's genes, giving her the superpower to create shockwaves, though she is not a Mutant.
Quake saw Alan Folker, then looked at the corpses on the ground. She immediately drew her pistol and aimed it at him, asking cautiously, "Did you kill these creatures?"
Alan Folker's face showed fright. He raised his hands in fear, trembling as he replied, "I, I, I just passed by here and saw these things, I don't know what kind of creatures they are, falling from the sky."
Alan Folker acted like a passerby, and a very ordinary one at that, with no abilities whatsoever. Truly, this acting was 100% perfect for his role-play.
