143: Chapter 139 The Controlled Overlord-Level BOSS!

Kyoto, Demon Suppression Army Command Center.

A piercing alarm suddenly sounded, and red warning lights flashed frantically, dyeing the entire command room blood-red.

"Warning! Warning! High energy reaction detected!"

"Warning! Overlord-class creature signal detected!"

The operator's voice trembled, fingers flying across the console.

On the giant circular screen, the radar monitoring image shook violently.

Four glaring red dots lit up simultaneously from the east, south, west, and north of the monster ocean.

The intensity of that red light far exceeded the surrounding monster signals.

Like four blood-red suns, they rose slowly in the darkness.

"Report, General!"

The adjutant's voice was hoarse and urgent.

"Overlord-class BOSSes have appeared simultaneously from the east, south, west, and north!"

"Level confirmation complete —"

"Level 58 Overlord BOSS: Frost Giant Bear!"

"Level 61 Overlord BOSS: Flame-Explosion Two-Headed Dragon!"

"Level 55 Overlord BOSS: Hell Phantom Cat!"

"Level 57 Overlord BOSS: Cart Titan Demon!"

Boom!!!

The entire command center fell into a deathly silence.

General Yuan Muzhi stood up abruptly, hands braced on the command console.

His gaze was fixed on the four glaring red dots on the screen, his pupils contracting violently.

"Four Overlord-class!?"

"And their levels are all this high?"

The adjutant nodded with difficulty, voice trembling.

"Lowest level 55, highest level 61..."

"For Overlord-class BOSSes of this level, each one requires a team led by a Legendary Class to challenge..."

"Four appearing at the same time..."

General Yuan Muzhi's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

He knew all too well what this meant.

Overlord-class BOSSes were not just terrifying in strength.

More importantly, their existence could greatly amplify the combat power of other monsters.

"We must launch a decapitation strike!"

General Yuan Muzhi looked up abruptly, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

"Before they merge with the monster army, we must kill them all!"

"Pass the order!"

"The First, Third, and Fifth Elite Squads, move out immediately!"

"Target — the four Overlord-class BOSSes!"

"At all costs, you must hold them back..."

"Yes!"

The adjutant nodded heavily, about to relay the order.

"No, that's not right!"

An operator suddenly screamed.

"General, those four Overlord-class BOSSes... are moving!"

General Yuan Muzhi turned his head abruptly to look at the screen.

He saw those four glaring red dots moving at an astonishing speed.

And their movement trajectories were converging in the same direction!

"They... are rushing towards the same position?"

General Yuan Muzhi frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"That position is..."

His gaze followed the red dots' trajectories, finally fixing on the very center of the battlefield.

There, a golden figure was rampaging through the ocean of monsters.

That was — Lu Yuan!

"How is that possible!?"

General Yuan Muzhi's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"These four Overlord-class BOSSes actually want to surround and attack Lu Yuan!?"

His voice was trembling, not out of fear, but out of shock.

Although Overlord-class BOSSes possessed extremely high intelligence, their thinking patterns were closer to beasts.

Territorial awareness!

Hunting instinct!

They would never actively cooperate with other Overlord-class BOSSes, let alone execute such precise tactical coordination.

"Since when do these wild monsters know how to coordinate?"

A chill rose in General Yuan Muzhi's heart.

Something was wrong.

Something was very wrong.

"General!"

The adjutant's voice sounded again, carrying an even sharper terror.

"Radar has detected a special energy fluctuation!"

"That energy... is controlling these monsters!"

"What!?"

General Yuan Muzhi's expression changed drastically, and he turned around abruptly.

He saw on the radar screen that a pitch-black energy ripple was spreading from the deepest part of the battlefield.

Wherever that ripple passed, all monster signals became chaotic and frenzied.

As if...

They had been forcibly controlled by something!

"Control..."

General Yuan Muzhi's voice was terrifyingly low.

"Is someone controlling these monsters from behind?"

"Or is it... an even more powerful monster!?"

His pupils contracted suddenly, and the hair on his body stood on end.

Regardless of which possibility it was,

It meant this war was even more difficult and dangerous than they had imagined.

And now they had aimed their targets at Lu Yuan.

Could it be that,

Their target from the very beginning was not Kyoto.

But...

Lu Yuan!!

General Yuan Muzhi looked up abruptly, staring toward the direction of the battlefield.

"Lu Yuan is in danger!"
