115: Chapter 115 From this day forward, this city belongs to the Lin family.

"Insta... Insta-killed?!"

Inside the empty Titan Energy Hall, Dragon Battle's voice echoed, trembling with extreme shock.

Ancient Sword Soul and Ji Hongyi were also as dumbstruck as wooden chickens; that was a Seventh-Rank Grandmaster of telekinesis!

A terrifying existence who had acted as a local tyrant in this Starry Sky Thirty-Sixth City for fifty years, pressing down on everyone until they couldn't breathe, had actually had his head severed by a single blade strike just like that?

Not even a complete corpse was left!

Facing his teammates' gazes, which looked at him like he was a monster, Lin Yuan did not offer much explanation.

He walked straight toward the massive console in the very center of the hall.

It was a control hub forged from an unknown black metal, shaped like a sacrificial altar.

Lin Yuan reached out and opened his palm.

The key of the starry sky, which Thousand Faces had valued as his life during the battle, was currently emitting a soft and mysterious starlight.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan pressed the key into the diamond-shaped slot in the center of the console!

Hum————————!!!!

The moment the key was embedded, the entire Titan Ruins jolted violently!

Following that, streaks of azure energy light flowed along the patterns at the base of the console, spreading frantically in all directions like the awakening blood vessels of a human body.

An ancient formation that had been silent for an unknown number of millions of years was completely activated at this moment!

[Ding! Highest authority secret key access detected!]

[Identity binding in progress... Binding successful!]

[Congratulations to the Host! Successfully taken over the 'Titan Outpost' core control hub!]

[Obtained highest authority over City No. 36's Starry Sky Grand Array! Obtained highest control over the ruins' defense system!]

Swish!

A massive holographic 3D projection unfolded before Lin Yuan.

When they saw the images on the projection clearly, not only Ancient Sword Soul and the others, but even Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of shock.

In the holographic projection, this incomparably massive Titan Ruins was buried deep underground.

And atop the ruins' thick 'outer armor dome', there was strikingly a prosperous complex of city buildings relying on it.

"So that's how it is..."

Lin Yuan looked at the projection and came to a sudden realization:

"The so-called Starry Sky Thirty-Sixth City is fundamentally just a parasite built upon the shell of this Titan Ruins!"

"The energy shield, the gravity adjustment system—everything this city relies on for survival—is maintained by the residual energy emitted by the ruins."

"Mastering this ruins is equivalent to grasping the throat of the entire city, mastering the life and death of the tens of millions of living beings within it!"

That idiot Thousand Faces guarded an ultimate weapon capable of destroying the city at any time for fifty years, yet he only thought about how to scrape off a few scraps to break through to the Eighth Rank.

It's simply a reckless waste of God's gifts!

"Let's go."

Lin Yuan turned around, operated the console a few times at random, and a faint blue teleportation array instantly lit up beneath his feet.

He looked at his teammates who were still in a daze, his eyes flashing with the overbearing aura of a ruler descending upon the world:

"Since we've obtained the property deed."

"It's time for us to go up and collect some rent from those tenants."

At this time on the surface, it was a scene of chaotic demons dancing wildly.

The beast tide had just receded, and the City Lord Thousand Faces had disappeared with his personal guards; the various major forces in the city keenly sniffed the scent of a power vacuum.

Led by Night Owl, the leader of the Shadow Kill Society, the remnants of several major gangs were leading tens of thousands of alien members, surrounding the City Lord's Mansion square so tightly that not even water could leak through.

They were arguing incessantly over how to divide the territory left by the Blood Wolf Gang and how to deal with that 'eyesore' group of Earthlings from the Yanhuang Alliance.

"The Yanhuang Alliance must be destroyed! Why should those lowly Earthlings occupy the best resources?!"

"When the City Lord returns, we will jointly petition to have them all demoted to slaves!"

The crowd was impassioned and filled with murderous intent.

Just as this clamor reached its peak.

Hum!

The defense array above the City Lord's Mansion suddenly fluctuated violently, and a blinding blue teleportation light pillar crashed down onto the high platform in the center of the square!

As the light dissipated, Lin Yuan appeared before everyone, dressed in black with a long blade on his back, leading Dragon Battle and the others, completely unharmed.

"It's that Earthling, Lin Yuan!"

"How did he come out of the City Lord's Mansion's exclusive teleportation array? Where is the City Lord?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in Night Owl's eyes under his black robes. He took a step forward, his Sixth-Rank Peak aura exploding as he shouted a question: "Lin Yuan! Where is City Lord Thousand Faces? What exactly did you do?!"

Facing tens of thousands of eyes filled with hostility and killing intent from across the city, Lin Yuan didn't even give Night Owl a direct look.

From his system space, he pulled out a bloody bundle and then, as if throwing away trash, tossed it down the steps.

The bundle unfurled.

A head with eyes that refused to close, along with that eerie mask—shattered in half—which symbolized the highest power of City No. 36, rolled to a stop at Night Owl's feet.

Deathly silence.

At this moment, even the wind seemed to stop flowing. In the vast square, tens of thousands of alien powerhouses didn't even dare to breathe.

That was... City Lord Thousand Faces' head!!!

That high and mighty Seventh-Rank Grandmaster who had ruled them for fifty years had been decapitated?!

"Thousand Faces is dead."

Lin Yuan stood at the highest point of the steps, hands behind his back:

"From now on."

"In Starry Sky Thirty-Sixth City, I have the final say."

Lin Yuan's eyes swept across the dense army of aliens below:

"Who objects?"

Thud!

With just a single glance, Night Owl, the Sixth-Rank Peak King of Assassins, felt as if his soul was about to be frozen by that terrifying Dragon Might.

His legs went weak, and without any hesitation, he knelt directly beside Thousand Faces' head, his whole body trembling violently:

"The... Shadow Kill Society... is willing to honor Alliance Leader Lin as our superior! We swear our loyalty unto death!"

Even a Seventh-Rank Grandmaster was slaughtered like a dog; what did a Sixth-Rank Peak like him amount to?!

As Night Owl knelt, it was like a row of falling dominoes.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

In the square and even on the surrounding streets, tens of thousands of aliens—whether they were hideous Trolls or proud Winged Kin—all prostrated themselves on the ground like waves of grain!

"Greetings, City Lord!!!"

The deafening sound of submission announced that this city had completely changed hands!

Looking at the group of high-level races below who once regarded humans as 'two-legged sheep' and were now kneeling at his feet like ants, Old Liu, standing behind Lin Yuan, was already shaking like a sieve.

It wasn't fear, but excitement!

It was the kind of extreme ecstasy from having been suppressed for thirty years and finally seeing the light of day!

"Old Liu."

Lin Yuan was not lightheaded from the sight of ten thousand races submitting. He turned his head and looked at this Earth veteran who had lost an arm:

"From today on, you are the Acting City Lord of City No. 36."

"What?!" Old Liu snapped his head up, his face full of disbelief.

Lin Yuan pointed below: "The Yanhuang Alliance shall be the masters, and the myriad races shall be the servants. Bring out all those compatriots hiding in the sewers and tell them they don't need to hide anymore, they don't need to be afraid anymore."

"From now on, this city's surname is Lin, which means it is our Earthlings' city!"
