Lin Haifeng finally understood.
Now, this made sense. With this condition in place, this Seed of Destruction would act as a controllable super bomb for the Demon Tribe, forcibly extracting an upper limit of 10,000 physique points!
When Lin Haifeng first saw the properties of the Seed of Destruction, he instantly thought it was tailor-made for Tang Haofei. Tang Haofei had the ability to bear the side effects of the Seed of Destruction, and the lower Tang Haofeiās physique, the faster his True God Dominant Body could enhance it...
But then, the high-generation Seed of Destruction could deprive him of the Power of Destruction at any time...
After thinking it over, Lin Haifeng still decided to stick with his original plan and implement his own scheme.
"Now, letās see by how much we can boost the success rate of our plan?"
Hearing Lin Haifengās words, Fran immediately shut his eyes, fully activating his Fate Inspection ability, attempting to observe a day in the future...
After a while, Fran slowly opened his eyes, a hint of unconcealable fatigue showing at the corners of his eyes.
The consumption of lifespan and vitality... was not insignificant... But a conclusion had been reached, at least.
"The effects of the Seed of Destruction are too intense; the target would be directly drained to death. I need to use Time System abilities to modify it. Of course, this is just a minor issue..."
"The key issue is, you are still lacking the most crucial component... You know what Iām referring to."
Franās words could be interpreted in another way... If they had that most crucial component, the success rate of this plan... would be nearly one hundred percent!
Thinking of this, Lin Haifeng nodded with a smile.
"Then, there should be no problem."
Seeing Lin Haifeng pass the Seed of Destruction to Fran, who carefully placed it into his space ring, Mara sighed softly.
We agreed to be friends, yet your methods are no different from a robberās...
Of course, Maraās silent complaints couldnāt influence Lin Haifengās decision.
Slowly settling back into his chair, Lin Haifeng toyed with the black scale on the table while speaking to Mara, "Now, letās discuss the Demon Tribeās plan."
"Watching the Demon Fiends outside scatter, flee, and get killed, what exactly is the Demon Tribeās next step? How will they handle this situation?"
Lin Haifeng was the type of person who could wring oil from a stone. Now that he had Mara in his grasp, it was conceivable that every last bit of value would sooner or later be squeezed out of him completely. Asking about the Demon Tribeās plan now was merely an appetizer.
Mara hesitated for a moment. Considering his life was still in someone elseās hands and Lin Haifengās current question wasnāt of critical importance, he decisively opened his mouth to answer.
"The Demonic Clanās General Headquarters has already given up on Battle Zone Yanjing. They are planning to divert the reinforcements originally intended for Yanjing to support the Africa and Battle Zone Europe. This means that from now on, there will be no reinforcements from the Demon Tribe for Battle Zone Yanjing."
"However, at the last moment, the Demon Tribe Battle Command issued a final orderāforcing all Demon Fiends currently in Battle Zone Yanjing to launch an all-out assault on the Yanjing Assembly Site."
"Oh?" Lin Haifeng raised an eyebrow. "A fight to the death, is it? Even if all they can do is snap a thread or two of the net."
Mara hesitated for a moment but still offered the final piece of information.
"There are two Breakthrough Achievers in Battle Zone Yanjing. One is stationed at the Yanjing Warzone Command Center, while the other has been roaming the front lines, attempting to charge directly into the Yanjing Assembly Site and kill you..."
"Kill me?"
Mara nodded. "Your own strength is lacking, but your threat level is exceedingly high. Also, I must warn you: that individual is extremely fast, possesses considerable stealth capabilities, and is fiercely loyal to the Demon Tribe. I predict he is highly likely to strictly follow the order to storm the Yanjing Assembly Site!"
Hearing Maraās warning, Lin Haifengās eyebrows knitted together, his eyes narrowed, and he activated his skill to its full extent.
The entire Yanjing Assembly Site was instantly enveloped within a massive energy field. After a moment, Lin Haifeng slowly opened his eyes.
"Your warning was very timely. If you hadnāt said something, I might have really been drawn into that creatureās attack range!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Haifeng immediately pulled out a communicator and dialed an exclusive connection to a secret location.
"Wei Tian, a Demon Fiend has entered the inner city zone. Its current position is in the sequence-beings residential area, and itās creeping along the street towards the military headquarters. Activate Black Tortoise and eliminate it directly!"
With Tang Haofei and Wen Yu both absent, without deploying some special measures, Yanjing Assembly Site wouldnāt have a single fighter capable of confronting a Limit Breakthrough Level Demon Fiend!
"Roger that," Wei Tian, based in the underground research facility of the Yanjing Assembly Site, quickly responded.
Subsequently, Mara felt the entire earth tremble...
BOOM!
A massive shockwave from the explosion erupted instantly, as if countless bombs had been detonated simultaneously. Seated in a secret room in the basement of the military headquarters, Mara felt a tremor akin to a Level 8 earthquake.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Across from him, Lin Haifengās communicator rang.
"Itās been dealt with, but the damage is substantial. Several city blocks have been destroyed..."
"What about casualties?"
Lin Haifeng had to ask. That Demon Fiend had reached the sequence-beings residential area, where the residents were either of the Sequence rank or powerful experts just a single rank below it. Although these high-ranking military combatants had been deployed outside the city, it was possible their families or friends were still in the residential area.
"The numbers are still being tallied. However, I did my utmost to limit the collateral damage, so the casualties shouldnāt be too severe."
Upon hearing this, Lin Haifeng didnāt relax; instead, his brow furrowed even tighter. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Iāll send a special researcher over to you. Take him with you and waste no time in deciphering the operating principles of the Energy Defense Shield."
The Energy Defense Shield was a spoil of war recently captured from the Demon Tribe. Once the military mastered the technological principles behind this device, which surpassed modern technology, an energy protective force field like those in science fiction movies would no longer be a dream.
After ending the communication with Wei Tian, Lin Haifeng let out a soft sigh of relief and then reactivated his skill.
After scanning the entire Yanjing Assembly Site and confirming the absence of any non-Earth life forms, Lin Haifeng finally relaxed.
A comfortable, gentle smile on his face, Lin Haifeng looked at Mara and waved the communicator in his hand. "You heard all of that, didnāt you? I wonder if you have any knowledge regarding your peopleās Energy Defense Shield?"
Mara nodded. The Energy Defense Shield, among the Demon Tribeās military equipment, was like Cathayās J-series stealth fightersāhigh-end, but with Maraās intellect, its operating principles were somewhat understandable.
"Well then, Mara, my friend, itās time to start your first assignment..."
"But before that, I need to implement some countermeasures on you. I hope you donāt mind..."
Mara nodded indifferently.
As long as he wasnāt killed, everything was negotiable...
A few of Lin Haifengās Pro-soldiers entered. They fitted Mara with bombs and devices designed to suppress his strength, ensuring he could be sent to hell the instant he made any suspicious move. Then, under Lin Haifengās gaze, two Pro-soldiers put a hood over Maraās head and dressed him in black, like a heinous criminal, before escorting him to the underground research laboratory.
Mara undoubtedly possessed a wealth of knowledge. What kind of sparks would fly from the collision of two different civilizational systems? Lin Haifeng was filled with anticipation...
As for any tricks Mara might try... It would simply be a contest of who had superior methods. And here in the Yanjing Assembly Siteāhis home turfāLin Haifeng had no fear of any move Mara might make!
Having acquired a researcher from another civilization and the item he desired, Lin Haifeng was in an exceptionally good mood.
"Shadow, you are to cooperate with Fran on the next phase of the plan. Iām leaving the matter of placing the Seed of Destruction to you both."
Having given his orders, Lin Haifeng strode out of the secret room.
Now, it was time to address the most critical link in the plan to control the Sea Clan...
