It was less than a week after the Kunlun Secret Realm incident ended.
On an island in a certain ocean.
Rumble...
After a loud noise, the red-shirted forest on the island was instantly flattened to the ground, as if it had been flattened by a giant hand.
The people who survived the disaster stared dumbly at the center of the bare redwood forest.
A huge pit that looked like it was surrounded by hellfire suddenly appeared there, surrounded by blazing fire that seemed to never go out.
The strange thing is that these flames don't seem to spread, but guard the huge pit, as if they are guarding something.
Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps because of the boldness of a highly skilled person, Jace, the only high-level superpower on the island, began to try to get closer to the inexplicably appearing giant pit of flames.
Jace is a long-established psychic on the island. After years of hard training, he finally reached a high level the year before last.
This achievement also allowed his status to rise significantly, and he directly became the only superpower on the island affiliated with the Human Alliance, affiliated to the Northern Satellite City.
Perhaps due to the geographical environment, the power that Jace awakened was actually a rare elemental system. This may be the reason why he was so confident that he rushed over as soon as he received the report.
Jace is the awakener of the water system.
Just one day ago, he received intelligence from the Northern Satellite City.
Although it was different from what was described in the intelligence, with the keen intuition of a high-level superpower user, he immediately thought of some similarities between the giant flame pit and the Kunlun secret realm.
It is also extremely difficult to enter, and it opens without any warning.
As the actual controller of the world's largest island, Jess has reason to believe that this is the favor bestowed upon him by the Lord!
After praising secretly in his heart, Jace, who was wearing a grass-green military uniform, walked towards the flame pit. Every time he took a step, he could see clearly visible water stains overflowing from the soles of his feet.
That was a sign that Jace was activating his superpower.
Living water shield!
As he got closer to the huge flaming pit that was like a giant mouth of an abyss, Jace, who was originally as calm as water, unconsciously felt a ripple in his heart. This strange feeling made his originally confident steps become... He hesitated.
The pace also slowed down.
There was a beep.
Jace, who looked confident just now, finally stopped and took out his communicator.
"Hey, I have a situation here. I will send the picture back now and you can help me evaluate it."
After the screen was transmitted and the other party said it would take a while, Jace let out a sigh of relief.
Timid and not very strong, but likes to be the one in the lead.
This has always been the label given to him by the outside world.
Of course he knows this, but he has never defended it and seems to be happy to accept this somewhat insulting label given to him by the outside world.
Even his humiliation and shyness in joining the Northern Satellite City was criticized by many people, even the people on the island.
all of these.
He endured it silently.
And today!
He finally got this golden opportunity!
It seems that a secret realm has descended on the island he rules!
Beep beep beep...
Beep beep beep beep...
Beep beep beep beep...
"Hello?" The communicator rang for a long time before Jace picked it up unhurriedly. What greeted him was a roar and insults.
"Damn it, didn't I tell you not to hang up? Not only did you hang up the call, but you took so long to answer it, where did you go?"
Jace listened to the scolding on the other side of the communicator, but didn't speak, just remained silent.
"Hello? Why don't you speak? Are you mute? I asked you to report the situation!"
"Itam."
Finally, after the other party babbled for a long time, Jace slowly spoke. As soon as he opened his mouth, he unconsciously activated the aura unique to natural superpowers.
Behind him, the sky of water mist enveloped the video call screen, and Jace, like the emperor who came through the mist, overlooked everything with a condescending attitude.
Including Etam on the other end of the video.
Jace's operation made Itam stunned. When he was about to say something, the other party continued to speak.
"Although I belong to the Northern Satellite City, that doesn't mean that a small liaison officer like you can speak to me in this tone. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind asking the headquarters to change a liaison officer, or... .”
At this time, Jace's whole body was wrapped in the mist of water. An indescribable strange feeling made Itam instantly have a different understanding of the previously obedient Jace who could only smile.
And the other party's next words made him directly feel the... ruthlessness in the bones of high-level superpowers.
"missing one?"
"Now, tell me the results of your analysis, I just want the answer!"
A cold and ruthless voice came from the other end of the communicator. Although he knew that the other party could not do anything to him, Yitam still took a breath of cold air for no reason, and faced the high-level natural force with full momentum. As a person with special powers, Etam was inevitably affected even though he was separated by a screen.
"Okay, okay, I'll report right away."
It was rare to see that this liaison officer, who had long regarded Jace as a weak and hapless guy who could be bullied, looked at him squarely for the first time and began to report attentively. After all, in his opinion, the other party's indifferent coldness was With the ice evil spirit, even if he is not directly face to face, he has no doubt that the other party can kill him instantly.
After listening to Itam's trembling report, Jess frowned and asked: "So the headquarters means to send someone to assist me? Put me on standby?"
Looking at Jace, who was showing no emotion or anger on the other side of the screen, Itam didn't know what the other person was thinking, so he could only answer truthfully: "Yes, Commander Jace, the headquarters wants you to be on standby, and then they will send someone." Take over..."
"Take over?"
Hearing this, Jace glanced at the other party sideways, with a smile of unknown meaning appearing on his face.
But in Itam's opinion, with Jace's performance just now, he didn't think that the other party was really smiling.
"Well...although there is no such rule, conventionally the commanders assigned abroad should handle it themselves, but this time it's different...so."
"I see."
After thinking about it, Jess waved to Itam on the other end of the communicator: "Come closer and turn off the public channel. I have something to tell you privately."
"Oh, oh, okay." Itam didn't know why, but in order not to offend the other party, he did as he was told, and he even thought of some possibilities.
In the past, dispatched commanders often bribed liaison officers, because liaison officers monitored every word and deed of dispatched commanders. Whether it was good or bad, they would report it in a timely manner when the public channel was opened for the purpose of reporting to the dispatched commanders. Personnel have a basic assessment.
It can be said that the liaison officer is the assigned commander. He is an eye at the headquarters and is responsible to both the headquarters and the commander.
He wants to...
Thinking of some good things, Yitam couldn't wait to get closer to the communicator and opened the private channel, wanting to see what his overseas commander had to say to him.
"Your mission is accomplished, so..."
"Go to hell."
