Chapter 2: Global Tremors, the Demon-Hunter Corps’ Reverse Scale!
The moment Ryan's figure shot into the sky, at the joint defense base guarding the entrance to the Extreme Evil Abyss, the highest-level red air defense alarm shrieked through the air!
Tens of thousands of fully armed heavy guard troops immediately entered first-level combat status.
Countless laser anti-aircraft cannons with ten-foot calibers swiveled in unison, aiming at the flight path Ryan's fighter jet was about to cross.
At the edge of the horizon, a supersonic fighter jet trailing black flames shot forward like a meteor flying upstream, heading straight for the defense line exit.
"Stop right there!"
A furious roar like thunder exploded in mid-air.
On the only path to the defense line exit, a burly man wearing golden armor and wielding a knight's lance hovered in the air.
This man was none other than the Supreme Military Commander of the Joint Council, responsible for monitoring the Abyss Defense Line—the Western Guardian, "Dragon Knight" Arthur!
Behind Arthur, ten top-tier warriors radiating terrifying auras stood in a line, each unleashing powerful energy barriers, attempting to completely seal off the entire airspace.
"Lord Ryan!" Arthur gripped his lance with both hands and shouted a warning, "Have you lost your mind?! The Abyss is about to stir, and as the supreme guardian of the defense line, you absolutely cannot leave your post at this time!"
The fighter jet's speed didn't slow one bit. Ryan's voice, cold as frost, came through the channel: "Get out of my way."
"How dare you!" Arthur flew into a rage. As a representative of the Joint Council, he was used to being above everyone else. "Ryan! I know your Demon-Hunter Corps is powerful, but don't forget—you signed the United Watch Treaty!
By leaving the defense line without authorization, you're essentially deserting all of humanity!
I will immediately apply to the Joint Council for the highest military order to put you on a global wanted list! When that happens, you'll become an enemy of all mankind..."
"I said—GET OUT!!!"
The fighter jet's hatch burst open!
In the howling wind, Ryan, wielding a black greatsword, leaped directly from the supersonic fighter jet like a demon god!
His eyes blood-red, facing the seemingly impenetrable ten-man defensive formation blocking his path, he swung his sword!
A black sword energy 2,500 feet long seemed to tear through heaven and earth as it crashed down!
No fancy energy collisions—just pure, absolute crushing power!
The S-grade alloy weapons in the hands of the ten top-tier warriors, supposedly capable of withstanding nuclear explosions, shattered like fragile glass toys the instant they touched the black sword energy!
The sword energy's remaining force swept across their chests without slowing.
All ten simultaneously coughed up mouthfuls of blood, falling from ten thousand meters high like kites with cut strings.
"What?!" Arthur's pupils contracted in shock as he hastily raised his golden lance to block.
The sword energy slammed into the lance. Arthur felt an irresistible divine force surge through the weapon's shaft.
His prized golden armor instantly covered with cracks, and the terrifying sword pressure forcibly knocked him back fifty steps in mid-air.
With each step back, the space beneath his feet made sounds of unbearable strain and explosion!
Arthur suddenly spat out blood, staring at Ryan in horror.
How is this possible?!
Three years ago, several guardians could still contend with Ryan. Has he now broken through the ultimate limit of human understanding?!
"Those who block me, die." Ryan coldly glanced at Arthur.
Just one look plunged this high-and-mighty Joint Council commander into an icy abyss, robbing him of even the courage to move a finger.
Ryan turned around, grabbed at empty space with his bare hands, and violently tore it apart! The spatial defense matrix that the Joint Council had spent trillions to build was forcibly ripped open like a piece of waste paper.
Ryan stepped back onto his fighter jet, transformed into a black lightning bolt, and instantly disappeared into the sky toward Harmony City.
Wind howled. The sky above the defense line fell deathly silent.
Arthur clutched his chest tightly, wiped the blood from his lips, his eyes flashing with terror.
Big trouble!
That man was a world-destroying beast that had been completely enraged!
He immediately opened the highest encryption communicator on his wrist, directly connecting to the joint channel of the world's twelve major conglomerates and national leaders.
"Commander Arthur, what happened? Why is the defense line alarm..." A politician's leisurely voice came through the channel.
"Shut up! Everyone listen carefully!" Arthur roared in the most severe voice, "Ryan has lost control! He broke through the Abyss blockade and went to the civilian world!"
The communication channel instantly fell into dead silence, followed by various sounds of sharp intakes of breath.
Arthur gritted his teeth and warned word by word: "I don't know why he's gone mad, but from now on, all global conglomerates, militaries, and underground forces—keep your tails between your legs! No one is to provoke him! Otherwise, you'll be dragging the whole world to die with you!"
...
Meanwhile, on a hidden island in the Pacific Ocean.
The Demon-Hunter Corps global headquarters.
In the massive holographic projection operations room, alarms kept blaring non-stop.
Osiris strode into the command center, tore off his demon mask, revealing a face covered in knife scars.
"By my order, proceed to Harmony City!" Osiris's voice, transmitted through the encrypted satellite network, instantly reached every dark corner of the globe. "Demon-Hunter Corps Level One war response—activated!"
In that instant, the entire global underground world erupted!
On North Novaria streets, a top assassin disguised as a hot dog vendor overturned his stand, pulling out twin guns hidden beneath the sausages;
At a castle, a conglomerate tycoon preparing to attend a banquet tore off his expensive suit, revealing the Demon-Hunter Corps black combat uniform underneath;
In the desert, an entire elite mercenary regiment abandoned a mission worth hundreds of millions without hesitation and boarded their aircraft.
One hundred thousand Demon-Hunter Corps warriors lurking around the globe received the assembly code representing the highest destruction order at the same moment!
Within that minute, the global black market trading network completely crashed!
All dark web bounties, arms deals, and assassination contracts were forcibly removed by an irresistible hacking force within one second.
The entire dark web homepage now displayed only one highest-level mission location, written in dripping blood font—
【Target: Harmony City!】
All the underground world's bosses went crazy.
Who on earth was bold enough to provoke the Demon-Hunter Corps tyrant in Harmony City?!
The world was about to turn upside down!!!
