605: Chapter 583 Opportunity Only Comes Once
Another one dead!
Everyone stood frozen on the spot.
Watching helplessly as someone who was just jumping around a moment ago was struck dead by a bolt of lightning, everyone felt a sense of horror.
The sight of exploding flesh, the shocking charred remains, and the pungent smell of roasted meat filling their noses all signaled that everything before them was real.
"To be able to meet me, you are all people of fate and fortune!" Chu Xuan opened his five fingers and raised his hand high above his head:
"Considering that most of you only joined the Resurrection Society because you were deceived and bewitched, I will give you one chance to live."
As his words fell, countless rays of lightning appeared from his palm. Electric arcs crackled and flashed, connecting into threads that jumped and roamed throughout the large conference hall.
But strangely, these constantly flashing lightning rays did not harm anyone.
Chu Xuan swept his gaze over the crowd and spoke indifferently:
"Starting the timer now. In 30 seconds, this lightning will spread to the entire conference hall, starting at 1000 volts and increasing in power."
"If you still think I am some so-called Divine Messenger and that everything I am doing is to test you, then stay here and don't move. Let's see if you will really die under your firm belief."
"I have already given you a way out. Walk out of this conference hall, and I will help you remove the Specter within you. From now on, you will be free people."
"If you remain obstinate, then stay and wait for death."
"The opportunity, there is only this one!"
After speaking, Chu Xuan added one last sentence: "Now, there are 10 seconds left."
"Wait a moment, I'm on your side, I'm an undercover agent!" Fat Tiger yelled, leaping up to avoid the electric arcs and running quickly toward the exit. As he brushed past Chu Xuan, he hurriedly left a sentence:
"Boss Chu, Master Chicken, I'll leave this place to you two. I'm pulling out first..."
As Fat Tiger left, the remaining crowd looked at each other. Of the more than three hundred people present, more than half showed signs of hesitation.
Especially when looking at the crackling electric arcs surrounding them, their eyes revealed expressions of fear.
Just as these people were still hesitating, the electric arcs lingering in the conference hall suddenly expanded, filling the entire space.
Screams erupted incessantly in the hall, and nearly a hundred people died in the blink of an eye.
These people were not strong; at most, they were at level 2. They were still mortal flesh and blood and could not even withstand 1000 volts of lightning.
"Hold firm to your belief!"
"Those who couldn't hold on and died were people whose beliefs were not firm!"
Among the rest of the crowd, many gritted their teeth and roared under this lightning. With eyes rolled back and bodies trembling uncontrollably, they were still struggling to hold on.
Chu Xuan's expression was indifferent. He moved his fingers slightly, and the intensity of the current in the room soared, instantly reaching 2000 volts from 1000 volts.
This Divine Ability, Thunderous Might, which came from Gaga Chicken's Talent skill, had already reached Minor Achievement. Although it could not yet reach the level of sealing teleportation skills within a 300-meter range like Gaga Chicken, it could easily use lightning and perform relatively subtle operations.
Like this lightning cage.
It would be simple to kill these people; Chu Xuan only needed one thought to wipe them all out, but that was not what he truly wanted.
There were still many such gathering places, but there were only a few that held large-scale gatherings in hotels like this.
Most were small groups gathering secretly in private, and it was easy for these people to hide.
Chu Xuan could not go looking for them one by one; that efficiency was too low.
His real purpose for coming here was to completely shatter the illusions of these Resurrection Society remnants through this unique live broadcast.
And this was also the reason why he did not use the Fire of Nirvana.
The lightning power Chu Xuan was currently wielding, while seemingly average in power and basically difficult to use against opponents above level 12, was extremely effective for crushing low-level enemies.
Moreover, this skill was violent and bloody when used, and it had a greater visual impact, so the effect would be even better.
In addition, the [Concealment] mentioned by these people reminded Chu Xuan of the warning from [Future Tang Zheng] in the last dream.
Revelation was not dead and was brewing something big, having set up some schemes. Not long after the counterattack on the Cangyun World, the true form of [Concealment] would descend, turning both worlds into the Kingdom of God.
Chu Xuan suspected that these remnants of the Resurrection Society might be one part of it.
Thus, this further strengthened Chu Xuan's determination to resolve these hidden dangers.
At this moment, as the electric arcs circling the conference hall accelerated their flickering and grew stronger in power, many people, after being struck, wailed that they couldn't take it anymore and ran toward the door.
Chu Xuan did not break his word; he directly acted to remove the Specter, and under the live broadcast camera, he incinerated it on the spot with the Fire of Nirvana.
Among them, there were two people whose Specter had already erupted before they even got close, obviously unwilling to be stripped away just like that.
But unfortunately, as the entire Charm attribute was stripped away.
Except for a small number of people whose Specter was far stronger than themselves and would still be subjected to irresistible suppression, most people could already manage to reach a balance with the Specter within them.
As one lightning bolt after another struck, many people could not hold on and died on the spot. The psychological defense of the survivors began to collapse, and they fled outward one after another.
"I can't take it anymore! How can this still be a test?"
"We must have all been deceived!"
"Chu Xuan, save me, I am willing to turn over a new leaf, please give me one more chance..."
As ten minutes passed, a total of 91 people were successfully stripped of their Specter and regained their lives.
Among the remaining people, in addition to those who were obstinate and were directly electrocuted to death, there were quite a few who had wanted to give up and flee this place, but it was too late.
Under the impact of the constantly rising current, their whole bodies were paralyzed, unable to move, and they eventually turned into a pile of charcoal.
Inside the conference hall, only one young girl with an excellent appearance remained, having persisted until the end.
But at this moment, her eyes revealed a look of fear. She walked over tremblingly, her voice becoming much sharper: "I want to live..."
"I have already given you the opportunity." Chu Xuan's expression was calm: "Everyone is the same. If you want to live, walk out yourself."
The girl gritted her teeth tightly and continued forward. Every step she took was extremely difficult, as if it were in slow motion, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
Just as she had only a few steps left to step out of the conference hall, her legs went soft. She could no longer persist and fell to the ground.
She looked up at the door, which was close at hand, her eyes full of unwillingness.
"Just a few steps away, just a few steps away..."
The girl looked up at Chu Xuan standing at the door and said with difficulty: "Help me, please?"
Chu Xuan remained indifferent.
"Why... it's just a few steps, why must you not let me go?" The girl's eyes gradually became resentful: "I have worked so hard... even if I was wrong... but I am already level 5, I still have great potential..."
Before she could finish speaking, the girl's body began to twist. Under the pressure of death, she was transforming into a monster form.
"The opportunity, there is only one."
Chu Xuan spoke indifferently, flicked his finger lightly, and a wisp of Fire of Nirvana shot out, piercing through this last person and obliterating her completely.
