Chapter 713: Chapter 294: Demon Leak, Chaotic Era (6k)_4
"It’s alright, this is my duty.
Where did the enemy run off to? And what’s the deal with the enemy this time?"
Bai Yi retracted her superpower, seemingly casually asking this question to a nearby Ninth Rank human, knowing the answer full well.
"It’s that abnormal demon capable of firing powerful beams! Its attack was just too strong, Zha Wen couldn’t dodge in time..."
The tone of this Ninth Rank Mage carried a trace of indignation and reluctance, with an obvious undercurrent of fear towards the demon he spoke of.
What they encountered was precisely the ambush set by Bai Yi.
Having infiltrated the ranks of human elites, Bai Yi could easily obtain all their defensive arrangements, making it a breeze to locate their whereabouts.
Once the location was pinpointed, with Ju’s teleportation, creating a "demon" at will made it easy to imitate.
This also benefited from the lack of iconic abilities in demons themselves; relying entirely on abnormal objects, they could indeed possess any ability.
Unless these Ninth Rank humans confronted the demon themselves, there was absolutely no way they could see through his ruse.
With this trick, she had successfully transformed five Ninth Ranks within these three days!
This even included one high-level demon!
The gains were immensely rewarding!
Given the frequency of these crimes, suspicion was inevitable.
Even if she wasn’t suspected, anyone with a bit of sense would be puzzled as to why this demon only inflicted heavy injuries once and never "returned for more."
To avoid this suspicion, she even arranged for already assimilated Ninth Ranks to encounter attacks again.
At this frequency, even at a pace of one per day, it would take only two more weeks to completely consume the human elites!
By then, most of the high-level demons should already be dealt with, leaving the rest to be handled with concentrated strength.
As for the remaining low-tier demons, they posed even less concern. Without the protection of the strong, when it came to a strategy of overwhelming numbers, she never backed down.
If it weren’t for the sheer abundance of Seventh Rank entities in this world, she would have started a traditional mass invasion to sweep through the world by now.
However, over these few days, she had discovered some peculiarities of this world. For instance, as a Seventh Rank, she couldn’t expand her powers to a planetary level as she could within her territory or the Starry Sky.
Moreover, the destructive power of various abilities in this world seemed significantly suppressed as if something was holding them back.
This phenomenon was not only present for the Seventh Rank in this world but was also widespread among all units of her race, except herself.
If the damage caused by attacks wasn’t genuinely of a Seventh Rank caliber, she would have doubted if the Seventh Ranks in this world were as fake as the Eighth and Ninth Ranks.
Fortunately, since she didn’t need to live permanently in this world, this peculiarity allowed her to harvest so many Seventh Rank units, which was simply perfect.
During the conversation, this human Ninth Rank had already finished recounting the earlier encounter. Although Bai Yi didn’t listen closely, with the networked memory of those who experienced it firsthand, Bai Yi’s understanding was probably higher than his.
"His condition is stable; let’s go after that demon now."
"You...
Ha, I almost forgot that Miss Fan Mao, your combat prowess is quite impressive.
If it’s you, you might indeed be able to hunt down that demon."
"Ha, we’ve been chasing it during this time as well."
Bai Yi gave an affirmative reply, turned around, and headed with Ryan in a particular direction.
Of course, she wouldn’t actually chase her people, only putting on a show, and also joining the human-formed Ju to find some demons for trouble...
"Hmm? What’s going on?"
Bai Yi’s expression turned grave, suddenly halting in mid-air.
And just above her, the once clear sky began flickering erratically like a faulty signal, and suddenly, several Ninth Rank auras burst forth simultaneously!
All the sources of these auras had humanoid figures, but none had human-like bodies. They...
"Are high-level demons..."

Eternal Church: One of the few churches officially recognized by the Magga Empire, possessing certification for official missionary work. The church’s transcendents are adept at various space divine arts and prophecies, staunch anti-demon warriors, and not enthusiastic about proselytizing. However, rumors suggest that the reason the Eternal Church is so fearless might be because their Pope holds the authority to communicate with the [Eternal]...
