Chapter 1002: I Have Seen Through

Zhang Yi's single strike had already put Ohgami Benimaru at a disadvantage.

Although he barely managed to block the sneak attack from behind, the powerful void energy still left his hands numb and created a turbulent sensation within his body.

"Incredible strength! Among the two major regions of Huaxu Kingdom, there are very few who could force me back with a single strike."

"And among those with spatial abilities, there's only one. You're the Chaos from Jiangnan Region, correct?"

Ohgami Benimaru treated the situation with utmost seriousness.

Recently, Chaos had gained tremendous fame on Star Island.

Especially after he killed members of Hell's Lock including Thor the Thunder God and Hunting God Ullr.

His name had cast a massive shadow over the hearts of everyone in the joint forces.

This was precisely why General Huo En had placed a bounty of 5 billion Columbus Ocean standards on his head, urging everyone to hunt him down.

Thinking of that enormous bounty, Ohgami Benimaru couldn't help but feel excitement stirring within.

Yet when he considered his opponent's terrifying strength, his entire body's muscles involuntarily tensed up.

This battle would be extremely dangerous for him. Fortunately, he wasn't alone—there were allies nearby.

Ohgami Benimaru immediately contacted Ounami.

"Susanoo, the person we've encountered is Chaos! Quickly bring Medusa over! With the three of us surrounding him alone, we have a great chance to kill him!"

"Compared to his bounty points, those source sprites are nothing!"

But Ounami replied: "Hold on a moment, we're temporarily unable to break away here!"

Ohgami Benimaru froze momentarily.

Weren't they just dealing with a group of source sprites? Why couldn't they break away?

At that moment, Ounami and Medusa were indeed locked in a difficult battle.

The giant Totoro creature they had initially thought would be easy to deal with was displaying terrifying combat power.

When it spread its arms like a giant bear, endless blizzard storms erupted from its body!

Ounami leaped aside to avoid the surging ice flow, frowning as he murmured: "Is this thing really spiritual energy generated by the Divine Source? Why do I feel it's more like a superhuman? At the very least, it possesses combat skills no less than those of a superhuman."

Ounami relayed the news of Chaos's appearance to Medusa.

Medusa immediately became serious as well.

"He's here too!"

The news of Zhang Yi's appearance shook the entire temporary command center of the Colombian Navy.

General Huo En immediately gathered all officers and focused their surveillance completely on this battlefield.

"Chaos appeared northwest of Mist Valley? That dangerous fellow—I knew he couldn't resist showing up!"

General Huo En's eyes brimmed with killing intent.

Chaos, who had killed two members of Hell's Lock, was undoubtedly a thorn in their side.

They had to eliminate him to uphold the dignity of the Colombian Navy!

He immediately issued orders to Christina and also contacted Ohgami Benimaru and Ounami through Neon's communication channels.

"Three against one—this way we'll dominate the battlefield initiative."

"When necessary, use the X Compound to force him into a corner!"

General Huo En's cold eyes emitted an intimidating glow.

"He's one of the most dangerous threats to us on Star Island!"

When Christina and Ounami received the command center's orders, they felt quite helpless.

They had successfully provoked the giant Totoro, and now it was relentlessly attacking them.

To go support Ohgami Benimaru, they first had to break free from this creature's assaults.

So they had to spend some time dealing with this problem first.

The communication described above took about one minute.

This wasn't a particularly long time.

But for superhumans, this time was already quite lengthy.

While communications were happening, Zhang Yi's attacks against Ohgami Benimaru continued without pause.

When his first strike failed to kill Ohgami Benimaru, he realized his control over power was still somewhat lacking.

His imperfect power control had allowed his opponent to survive.

But this actually made some sense.

Neon's top expert wasn't just for show.

Here, we should revisit the relationship between superhuman ability index and combat power.

They are not absolutely equivalent.

The superhuman ability index represents comprehensive ability strength, not necessarily combat power.

In actual combat, factors like intelligence preparation, prior planning, ability counters, environmental factors, equipment, and personal combat experience all come into play.

This was why Kim Hee-chul with 9500 ability index was instantly killed by Qinglong with 9800.

And why Helshest with 9600 could inflict heavy casualties on the entire Tianlong Pirate Crew, forcing them to flee in disarray.

Ohgami Benimaru earned the title Amaterasu precisely because of his absolute dominance in actual combat.

Amaterasu represents the chief deity of Neon's Takamagahara.

Without sufficient strength, he couldn't have climbed to the throne by stepping over the bones of numerous powerful opponents.

However, none of this mattered to Zhang Yi.

He only knew one thing: when this guy took the bait and chased after him alone, he was already a dead man.

Zhang Yi didn't waste any time—he didn't even bother exchanging words with Ohgami Benimaru.

Instead, he directly raised his hand and summoned ten massive, invisible Dimensional Gates within a three-kilometer radius!

The remaining two transformed into the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms to protect his main body.

After instantly completing all this, his left hand drew White Owl, and bullets poured toward Ohgami Benimaru like a storm!

Ohgami Benimaru could definitely sense the terrifying power contained within those bullets.

The Sacred Silver bullets enhanced by Precision Shooting traveled at Mach-level speeds, reaching maximum velocities of 10 times the speed of sound!

But Ohgami Benimaru's swordsmanship was no joke either.

He drew his sword, and the moment it left the sheath, the blade itself became invisible.

Only countless flowing lights could be seen dancing through the air like cherry blossoms.

"Clang clang clang clang!!"

All the bullets were sliced apart by Kokonoe Nagamune.

Zhang Yi's attacks didn't pause for even a moment.

His right hand's Holy Judgment erupted with powerful void energy, transforming into swirling Void Black Flames that swept toward Ohgami Benimaru.

"Whoosh!"

Ohgami Benimaru instantly retreated several hundred meters.

After two rounds of exchanged attacks, instead of feeling panic, a excited smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"So that's how it is! Once I understand your abilities, Chaos isn't actually that terrifying after all!"

Zhang Yi's battle with Baldier had essentially revealed almost all his cards.

Although he successfully killed Baldier, he simultaneously exposed his own abilities.

The Colombian Navy center immediately transmitted his intelligence—even combat footage from that battle—directly to every superhuman in the joint forces.

This way, when encountering Zhang Yi, they wouldn't need to waste energy probing his abilities.

They could even seize the initiative on the battlefield!
