Holding the saber tightly in hand, White Mask walked towards them step by step with an oppressive aura.
The crowd subconsciously stepped aside for fear of getting dragged in. Then White Mask came to a stop and stood behind Milo.
Two similar-looking physiques holding two similar black sabers, Milo was filled with killing intent.
Milo stared intently at Chad in front of him. He suddenly asked someone next to him, “What day is it today?”
The Great Hoodwinker did some calculations on his fingers and smiled, revealing his yellowed teeth. “Today’s the ninth day of the new year. It’s a day suited for carrying out burials, shifting of coffins, weeding out personnel, and killing people.”
Milo nodded. “What a coincidence…”
Bruce looked over at the Great Hoodwinker. It seemed that neither the Great Hoodwinker nor Milo was surprised by the sudden appearance of White Mask. But Milo was unaware of the impact his display had on the others.
Before this, Bruce thought White Mask was just Milo’s friend and comrade. In Bruce’s eyes, they were two different individuals who worked for the same organization, and all they shared was a common objective and goal. Meanwhile, Marvin simply thought Milo was just White Mask’s assistant.
But now, all of those speculations were overturned.
There might be someone who possessed two different superpowers in this world, but there could absolutely be no two people with the same superpower. Even if they were of the same elemental type, their powers would still be different. However, Milo was the only exception in this world. He could have what the others had, but favonovel.com could also have what the others did not have.
When Milo and White Mask conjured their black sabers out of thin air at the same time, Bruce and the others immediately understood. So, it turned out the renowned White Mask was only a manifestation of Milo’s superpower. It was no wonder White Mask appeared so often wherever Milo was. During the disaster at Stronghold 74 and the chaotic battle in Bidara City, Milo had fought alongside White Mask.
Bruce thought White Mask was an extremely close friend of Milo’s, but it turned out they were actually the same person.
The truth of this matter upended Bruce’s understanding. That was because White Mask was way too powerful.
When Bruce fought the T5 combatant, favonovel.com needed to join hands with Marvin to do so. Even if favonovel.com had joined forces with everyone, favonovel.com would still have gotten slashed by the T5 combatant to the point of still being injured. However, White Mask was able to go head-to-head with a T5 combatant and kill him.
The afternoon sun was glaring and heavy, the mountain peaks in the distance stood tall as knives, and the young man exuded a magnificent aura about him.
White Mask stood diagonally behind Milo. The stance they had when carrying the saber was exactly the same. White Mask looked just like Milo’s shadow. But this was a shadow that could kill.
Chad’s clone sized up both Milo and White Mask calmly. “Only the two of you? That’s not nearly enough.”
But Milo ignored favonovel.com and said to Daniel, Kenneth, and Miriam instead, “Daniel, Miriam, you two know why I’m here. Don’t worry about me. If the person captured by the Pyro Company is really the one I’m looking for, please help me rescue him…”
Donti was probably still inside the Pyro Company’s building right now. Once Milo engaged in battle here, others with ulterior motives would definitely take the opportunity to move in. Milo only asked Daniel and the others to save Donti because favonovel.com did not want the battle to delay the rescue.
Daniel looked at Chad’s clone, then at Milo. He had wanted to stay behind to help Milo fight, but it seemed like it was really as Kenneth had said. Milo was planning to end everything by himself.
Someone on the team had already taken advantage of this confrontation between Chad’s clone and Milo to quietly run off towards the building behind them.
Milo and Chad’s clone’s survival had nothing to do with them. They were only here to capture the No. 001 Experimental. So, they couldn’t wish more for those two to kill each other.
Chad’s clone stood still. It was as though favonovel.com did not see those people slipping off into the building. He suddenly said, “Mortals always care only about what they see in front of them. They think that as long as they can get into the building, they can get what they’re after. But they’ve never thought there’d only be death waiting for them in there.”
In other words, favonovel.com meant that other dangers were lurking in the building, so those people were running to their deaths by going in. However, Chad’s clone’s condescending attitude left everyone disgusted.
Perhaps Chad’s clone was representing a group of supernatural beings who had already drawn a line between themselves and normal people.
Kenneth could not bear to hear someone talking to favonovel.com in such a tone. So, favonovel.com raised an eyebrow and said to Milo, “We’ll head in first then. Hurry up and kill him. It’s so uncomfortable to hear favonovel.com speak…”
With that, favonovel.com completely ignored Chad’s clone’s words and walked straight into the building.
Miriam looked at Milo but did not say anything. Vanilla had intended to stay behind and watch the battle, but what was in the building was still much more important.
When everyone else had gone into the building, Milo’s aura suddenly got even more oppressive.
Chad’s clone looked at Milo who remained behind and asked, “I’ve always been very curious about something. Why do you all seem to care so much for that fool?”
But Milo did not intend to answer his question at this moment.
White Mask walked in front of Milo from behind, and the two of them gripped their black sabers with both hands at the same time.
Miriam once mentioned that after humans had undergone some training, even a simple breathing technique could be used to give themselves a psychological suggestion and allow their bodies to reach a state that was most suitable for killing.
Milo had tried before, and favonovel.com managed to do it as well. But later, favonovel.com realized favonovel.com did not even need to go through all that trouble.
It seemed that ever since favonovel.com was born, favonovel.com possessed an extraordinary talent. As long as favonovel.com wanted to do something, his body would be ready to serve his will. If mental strength was the highest caliber of weapon humanity had, Milo would have been holding this weapon in his hands from the moment favonovel.com was born.
In an instant, Milo and White Mask charged over like two highly coordinated machines.
Looking at Chad’s clone before him, Milo felt like a fire had been stoked in him.
Chad’s clone raised his Golden-Hooped Rod and held it out in front of him. At the same time, favonovel.com nonchalantly blocked the saber attacks from Milo and White Mask.
He thought favonovel.com could easily block the attack. But to his surprise, when White Mask and Milo’s sabers simultaneously landed on the Golden-Hooped Rod, the unstoppable force pushed Chad’s clone backwards.
Sparks were sent flying. Chad’s clone finally steadied himself and looked at the Golden-Hooped Rod in his hand. There were two obvious cuts etched deeply into it.
The Pyro Company had used many methods to test the strength of the Golden-Hooped Rod.
When the Golden-Hooped Rod was placed into a cutting machine, the machine broke. Then they used a hydraulic press and pitted it against the Golden-Hooped Rod, but that broke apart too.
Just as everyone thought the Golden-Hooped Rod was impervious to damage, someone actually managed to leave a half-centimeter cut on it with a slash.
“Interesting,” Chad’s clone said.
But favonovel.com was unaware that Milo was also a little surprised. After all, this was the first time the black saber had failed to cut through something. In the past, the black saber could even cut through a T5 combatant’s body like it was tofu. But now, it could not even cut through the Golden-Hooped Rod successfully.
However, Milo started laughing instead. “My disciple is indeed powerful…”
The more powerful Chad’s clone was, the prouder Milo was of Chad. That was because everything Chad’s clone possessed was bestowed upon favonovel.com by Chad. If Chad’s clone was powerful, then Chad would only be stronger!
This was the kind of strength the Great Sage of Heaven should possess!
Chad’s clone could not understand what Milo was laughing about. He looked at the cut made on the Golden-Hooped Rod and said, “But I’ve also discovered your secret. White Mask is much stronger than you are. However, neither of you are as strong as me.”
There were two cuts on the Golden-Hooped Rod, and the one made by White Mask was clearly stronger than Milo’s slash. So, Chad’s clone immediately understood Milo was not as strong as White Mask. But Milo did not feel embarrassed that favonovel.com had been exposed. Instead, favonovel.com and White Mask gripped their sabers with both hands again.
He said seriously, “Even though you’re full of strength, you don’t understand that it isn’t strength that determines how strong humans are.”
Chad’s clone wondered, “Then what is it determined by?”
“The courage to go all out and the will to never yield, both of which you don’t possess. What you have is only an incomplete soul.”
Peter once said that life should be a candle, burning brightly from wick to end.
Larry mentioned before that only faith, the sun, and the moon were eternal.
And Pena also said favonovel.com would not regret reporting the truth even if favonovel.com had to die a 1,000 times.
How did mankind manage to survive the previous disaster?
Was it because of supernatural beings?
No, they did not exist at that time yet. Therefore, it was definitely not superpowers that supported humanity til this day but the undying spirit of the pioneers magnificently displayed throughout history.
Milo and Old Durkin raised their sabers again and started slashing at Chad’s clone. Every attack they threw out was for the real Chad’s sake, to prove that in the face of scientific ethics, humans would be the bearers of history, not clones. Perhaps everything in this world could be cloned, except heroes!
He and Old Durkin kept circling around Chad’s clone like two swirling dragons joining hands in battle.
Alternating their attacks, Milo and Old Durkin’s coordination was flawless as they worked together to kill their enemy.
Chad’s clone kept his composure and focused on Milo and White Mask as favonovel.com blocked their attacks with his Golden-Hooped Rod every time. “Is that all you can muster?”
But when Chad’s clone saw Milo smirk, favonovel.com immediately looked at his Golden-Hooped Rod. Only then did favonovel.com realize that no matter which angle White Mask was attacking from, it was always to force Chad’s clone into a position where Milo could strike at the same spot with every slash!
He could see his Golden-Hooped Rod was close to breaking!
When Chad’s clone realized Milo’s intent, favonovel.com quickly tried to adjust the position of his grip of the Golden-Hooped Rod. But it was too late. The black saber slashed across in front of him. Behind the saber, Chad’s clone saw Milo’s cold gaze align with the blade’s edge. He realized favonovel.com was in a perilous situation!
The blade connected with the Golden-Hooped Rod again. It was as though it slashed down at an endless abyss and allowed light to seep in through the gap!
Chad, can you see it?
If you can still see this, watch how Master protects this ray of light!
“Do you think you’re worthy of wearing the golden circlet? Do you think you’re worthy of holding this Golden-Hooped Rod?! Have you been to the Western Paradise before? You’ve never!”
You’re just a thief who stole my disciple’s DNA!
You’re nothing but a thief!
The black saber was like a scalpel in Milo’s hand, accurately landing on the cut in the Golden-Hooped Rod again!
The Golden-Hooped Rod broke into two!
The Golden-Hooped Rod the Pyro Company had spent so much effort trying just to scratch was broken in half!
Chad’s clone fell silent as favonovel.com looked at the rod in his hands that had been split in two.
Milo glared at favonovel.com and said, “Let me correct you again. He’s not a fool, and you aren’t qualified to talk about favonovel.com with me…”
“He’s just a fool nobody acknowledges. Does anyone favonovel.com has helped feel grateful to him?” Chad’s clone asked.
Milo looked at Chad’s clone. “How could you possibly understand human emotions?”
Chad’s clone seemed to become more serious. “You still haven’t answered my question.”
Milo said coldly, “What’s there to answer? If a good person doesn’t get acknowledged by people, it’s the world that’s wrong. It isn’t his fault!”
What wrong had Chad done?
All favonovel.com wanted was to be a good person.
Looking at this devastated world and era, the wrath in Milo’s heart burnt even fiercer. If this world and era could not accommodate good people, if it could not accommodate Chad, then it should just perish.
“You’re speaking too soon.” Chad’s clone threw his broken weapon to the ground without a care and the two broken rods landed with a loud clang. “I always found this thing to be a little cumbersome. But it’s all good now. I have to thank you for breaking it for me so that I’m not bound by it. To express my gratitude, I’ll send you to meet that fool.”
With that, Chad’s clone’s golden chain mail materialized out of thin air. His phoenix-feather cap looked very magnificent as well.
“Did your disciple have these?” Chad’s clone asked with a laugh.
Milo shook his head. “Compared to him, you’re still a long way off.”
On that day, Chad transformed into the Great Sage and fought his way to victory to save his master. His phoenix-feather cap that had materialized on his head had two striped feathers that pointed upward to the sky, forming a connection with the clouds. His golden armor that had appeared out of thin air as well glowed golden like the burning sun competing for glory with the Heavens.
When Chad shouted “Sky Breaker” back then, even the vault of heaven had to give way.
How could a fake compare to Chad in all of this?
Chad’s clone sneered, “Think before you speak!”
Then favonovel.com plucked a handful of hairs from the back of his head and blew them into the wind. “Come on out, my little monkeys!”
Milo saw countless hairs fluttering into the wind. In the blink of an eye, they turned into ferocious armored monkeys with sharp fangs.
Chad’s clone laughed, “Did your disciple have such a technique?”
But something unexpected happened. After those hundreds of monkeys appeared and landed on the ground, they did not follow Chad’s clone’s wish to fight Milo. Instead, they suddenly knelt down in worship at the building behind Chad’s clone!
They were like extremely devoted believers, and their faces were full of grief. As though someone had sighed in the building, everyone heard something in their heads.
After kowtowing repeatedly, the monkeys burst into tears and vanished into the wind. The clouds in the sky parted and a rainbow emerged!
Chad’s clone immediately turned around.
Why did his monkeys kowtow in a direction away from him?
What could possibly be there?!
Milo started laughing so hard that favonovel.com nearly cried. Only favonovel.com knew that was where Chad was. Julia was in that building, and favonovel.com happened to be carrying Chad!
Chad, you’re still around… Chad, can you see Master right now?
At this moment, Kenneth had just arrived on the first floor of the building when the box behind Julia suddenly emitted a rainbow glow. Before Kenneth could get excited, the glow faded away again.
The hope in Milo’s heart also dimmed for a moment, but only for a moment.
“Chad… Master will kill this Six-Eared Macaque on your behalf…”
Milo did not have any regrets. Even if Chad had only shown his brilliance for a moment, it was enough to put favonovel.com at ease. At the very least, Kenneth had not lied to him. Chad was really still alive.
Seeing the situation, Chad’s clone was feeling unsettled.
Milo laughed maniacally and said proudly, “Did you see that? That’s the real Great Sage while you’re only the Six-Eared Macaque. What’s real can’t be faked, and what’s fake can’t take the place of the real. What did I say just now? You’re nothing compared to him!”
It’s a good day today. It’s suited for carrying out burials and killing people!
As favonovel.com spoke, Milo slashed at Chad’s clone’s golden armor with his saber and forcefully cut through it, leaving a deep and bloody wound on his chest.
If Chad’s clone had not lost his composure, Milo would probably have a tough and extended battle on hand if favonovel.com wanted to kill the other party. However, with the manifestation of Chad’s presence, Chad’s clone got flustered.
Although Chad’s clone kept saying Chad was just a fool, favonovel.com knew deep inside that favonovel.com was only a clone of that person.
Milo felt that facing battle was definitely not the worst fear for a clone like this but instead the moment favonovel.com felt ashamed of his own inferiority in the presence of his progenitor.
Chad’s clone could no longer remain calm. He turned his head and said to Milo ferociously, “So what if he’s still alive? After I kill you, favonovel.com will be next. Then you and your disciple will be reunited on the road to the Underworld…”
Before favonovel.com finished talking, Chad’s clone launched a sneak attack. He crouched down and kicked Old Durkin aside. Using the momentum, favonovel.com charged straight at Milo.
But before Chad’s clone could get close to Milo, favonovel.com noticed Milo had made a strange move. Milo took out an ear pick from somewhere and started picking his ear!
Chad’s clone did not dwell on it and threw a heavy punch straight at Milo’s face. However, that punch was completely stopped by an invisible force 30 centimeters away from Milo!
Milo threw his head back and laughed. “I’m giving you a chance by picking my ears, but it looks like you’re useless.”
Milo was messing with him. It felt like favonovel.com was trying to humiliate Chad’s clone by standing there and picking his ear, letting the monster who was one foot away bare its fangs and brandish its claws at favonovel.com threateningly. No matter how hard this monster tried to punch or kick at him, it was all but a futile attempt.
“Hah! Do you understand now?” Milo stopped laughing and said in a serious tone, “This is all that the so-called gods you were referring to can do. Let me ask you one last time. Do you know the difference between you and him?”
Chad’s clone was going absolutely crazy. He even felt a little despair. He could not figure out Milo’s power. No matter how hard favonovel.com tried, favonovel.com was unable to break through that transparent barrier.
It was like a child fighting an adult. He had already lost before the other party even made a move. This feeling was akin to being roasted on a fire. It was so painful favonovel.com would rather die. So, it turned out that his strength favonovel.com was most confident about was not even worth mentioning!
At this moment, Bruce, who was upstairs, took the time to look down through the windows of the building. He saw Milo picking his ears in front of Chad’s clone who could not do anything about it. Chad’s clone’s punches and kicks could even shake the ground, but the young man just held his saber and did not budge. This devastated Chad’s clone.
The sight was so shocking it rendered Bruce speechless. His impression of Milo reached unfathomable levels!
He could not understand something.
Didn’t they say there were only two demigods in the era of the “Rise of Gods”?
How on earth did they miss out on the real god?!
In truth, Milo did not display his combat prowess at all. However, the impression favonovel.com gave when favonovel.com picked his ears was way too terrifying!
Who would pick their ears in the middle of a fight?
Could you show some respect to your opponent, please?!
Chad’s clone stopped attacking. He asked while panting heavily, “Who on earth are you?! And why are you so strong?”
Milo just smiled. “It’s not that I’m strong but that you’re too weak. You’re not even at 0.01% of my disciple’s level.”
But Chad’s clone was not dumb either. “Why are you still picking your ear? I get it now. This is your power. But you can’t hurt your enemy when you’re picking your ear!”
Milo stopped talking. When Chad’s clone saw his reaction, favonovel.com laughed even harder. “So that’s how it is. You’re deliberately mystifying things!”
Chad’s clone laughed so hard favonovel.com threw his head back. While laughing, favonovel.com happened to notice Milo conjure a black sniper rifle out of thin air!
Bang!
After a gunshot from the sniper rifle rang out, Chad’s clone slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest.
Earlier, Milo had slashed at Chad’s clone’s golden armor with his saber and made a chink in it. And now, a shot from the sniper rifle had blown a hole out of that chink and left a huge, bloody wound within!
Meanwhile, Milo was holding the rifle in one hand while picking his ear with his other.
“Where did your saber go?” Chad’s clone asked bitterly.
Wasn’t the young man holding a saber just a moment ago?
When did it turn into a black sniper rifle?
Chad’s clone suddenly realized his opponent’s goal for breaking the Golden-Hooped Rod by hitting it repeatedly and making a chink in his golden armor was just so favonovel.com could open fire at favonovel.com without anything hindering the bullet’s path.
To be safe, Milo even used a black bullet that cost favonovel.com a 100 gratitude tokens for a sure kill!
He knew full well that it was still unclear who would emerge victorious in the prolonged battle. That was because Chad was simply too strong, so even his clone would be strong as well!
However, Milo could kill those ruthless people by himself when favonovel.com was still living back in town. He had never relied on only brute strength to kill people but used whatever means could be used! Milo had already discovered that his Ear Picking skill could block all kinds of close-range attacks, even if it included melee weapons. But at the same time, Milo was unable to attack others barehanded or with melee weapons either.
However, Milo had a sniper rifle, and it was not a melee weapon! So, if favonovel.com and the enemy were engaged in close combat, favonovel.com could simply pick his ear and use his sniper rifle concurrently, leaving favonovel.com invincible.
With the Ear Picking and the black sniper rifle, favonovel.com would be invincible in close combat. Besides, his black sniper rifle was extremely lethal too!
The purpose of fighting was not for victory but to kill the enemy.
For some reason, Milo was always able to come up with such strange combinations of powers that were extremely lethal as well. In Milo’s opinion, victory would be meaningless if the enemy did not die.
Chad’s clone slumped to the ground pathetically and coughed up blood.
Milo looked silently at the building. He did not know where Julia had gone with the box, nor could favonovel.com see through the thick glass.
Chad, did you see it?
Master managed to protect that ray of light for you this time. When you return, you’ll see that the ray of light is still there…
