126: Chapter 126 Patience Ends

"An excellent Opportunity? Aren't the participants of the Continental Carnival only criminals and ordinary citizens?" Chen Moxuan asked subconsciously.

He had already learned from the Explosive Flame King that City C had been chosen as the venue for this year's Continental Carnival.

However, before every previous Continental Carnival, all Transcendents in the host city would fully evacuate and were not allowed to participate.

So how could there be an excellent Opportunity?

"Oh, I forgot, you don't know yet." Rewinder suddenly remembered and said with a realization, "This year's Continental Carnival is going to have some new tricks."

"The detailed rules are a bit complicated, and I haven't looked into them too much, but in short, Transcendents are allowed to participate."

Chen Moxuan's brows furrowed involuntarily.

The Continental Carnival, originally consisting only of non-ability users, was enough to cause a city's functions to fall into paralysis for months and result in the loss of tens of thousands of lives.

If those Transcendents were allowed to join, City C would inevitably turn into a living hell and become complete ruins during this Continental Carnival.

"When the time comes, we will work from the inside and outside to wipe them out one by one without anyone noticing. Within the range of my Special Ability, no communication method will be able to detect us."

Not caring about Chen Moxuan's expression, Rewinder continued, immersed in his wonderful fantasy, "If I can wipe out this batch of A-Rank Heroes from District G, perhaps I can jump straight to S-Rank!"

Even Transcendents have rankings. The Special Ability of a natural-born Transcendent basically stops growing when they reach sixteen.

Over a decade ago, during a battle between Rewinder and an alien race that had invaded his territory, he had inexplicably interfered with the combat of a B-Rank Hero beside him, causing the other party to be smashed to pieces by the alien.

Under the tracking of the mark, the alien was quickly surrounded and captured by heroes, and through memory searching, the lair of that alien race was found, and the entire race was slaughtered.

It was then that Rewinder discovered the secret of the light orbs contained within the bodies of Transcendents.

Over the years, he had also tried to find the corpses of Transcendents. Not to mention that Transcendents rarely die, once a Transcendent's corpse appeared, it would usually be immediately taken under custody by personnel and sent to the Hero Association headquarters.

Therefore, for a long time, he did not accept missions assigned by the Hero Association, but instead often frequented the battlefields between heroes and Monsters in various places, waiting for an Opportunity in secret.

Finally, not long ago, he managed to get hold of a Transcendent corpse that had died naturally due to old age and overexertion in battle.

Due to a bad premonition, Rewinder did not destroy the corpse with his own hands. This Transcendent who died naturally was only D-Rank, and could be destroyed with conventional weapons.

He tricked a guard into using a rocket launcher to blow up the corpse. The result was just as he had predicted; the tracking mark still existed within the corpse of the naturally deceased Transcendent.

The mark instantly tracked the guard, and Rewinder used his own Special Ability to reverse the trajectory of the mark back.

However, he could only reverse the mark to the position where it appeared and could not make it disappear. As soon as he stopped using his Special Ability, the mark would continue to track.

After understanding this, Rewinder let the mark sink into the guard's Soul. He then immediately killed the guard, letting the mark dissipate along with his Soul.

Afterwards, he also used his Special Ability to reverse the scattered spiritual energy clusters and absorbed them. However, the spiritual energy within a naturally deceased D-Rank Transcendent was too scarce and did not enhance his Special Ability much at all.

To significantly improve his Special Ability, he still had to find high-Rank Transcendents. But even for a B-Rank Transcendent, their lifespan starts at several hundred years, let alone letting him find a corpse that happened to die naturally by chance.

To efficiently absorb the light orbs, the only way was to find a way to avoid the tracking mark. And to do that, he could only find an ally who could avoid the tracking mark, or elevate his own Special Ability to S-Rank.

He had a vague intuition that as long as his Special Ability was elevated to S-Rank, he would be able to reverse even the trajectory of time!

Within the range of his Special Ability, he would be an omnipotent god!

After realizing that Chen Moxuan could avoid the tracking mark, Rewinder could no longer suppress the desire in his heart.

"How about it? Do you want to join forces with me?" Rewinder reached out his right hand with a beaming smile.

Chen Moxuan lowered his eyes to glance at Rewinder's outstretched right hand and said indifferently, "I also have a few questions for you."

"Of course." Rewinder retracted his hand, his fingertips nonchalantly twirling a wisp of air flowing in reverse.

"Why do you think I won't directly plunder your Special Ability?"

"Because I have enough confidence in my Special Ability and don't think you can do it," Rewinder replied. "I need you, and you cannot kill me; isn't that the most solid alliance relationship?"

Moreover, once he reached S-Rank, Chen Moxuan would be useless to him.

"This so-called... creating a new world of yours? What kind of world is it?"

"So you're actually interested in this." Rewinder's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he became interested. "That will be a true paradise for the strong! No bullshit administrative laws, no Superpower Association, and certainly no damn rules of the Hero Association!"

"Weak ability users should be eliminated! Transcendents should be above all rules; survival of the fittest is the eternal truth!"

"In that world, the strong can wantonly devour the power of the weak, and no shackles can bind us! This is the true..."

Rewinder was in the middle of speaking enthusiastically when Chen Moxuan suddenly interrupted, "What about the non-ability users?"

"Huh? Non-ability users? Who cares about them?" Rewinder felt it was inexplicable. "They are just failed products that haven't kept up with the pace of evolution; they are the dregs left over from the birth of Transcendents."

"It doesn't matter what happens to them. Under the torrent of the new world's era, those who can survive will naturally be the strong, and those who cannot are just trash that should be swept away."

"As expected, it sounds like something someone born high and mighty would say." Chen Moxuan said slowly, his voice icy.

Rewinder was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized, "You wouldn't happen to be an Awakener, would you?"

"Come on, since you've already Awakened your Special Ability, why bother mixing yourself with trash and acting like a hypocrite? Enjoy the pleasure brought by power to the fullest; that is the way of life a strong person should have!"

"But I also said that the new world will be a paradise for the strong."

"I don't understand, but I respect it. You can shelter as much trash as you want; what does it matter even if you establish another utopia for non-ability users? As my ally, in the new world I create, you can follow your heart and do whatever you want."

Chen Moxuan lowered his eyes to hide the cold glint in them, and as if persuaded, he nodded slowly, "You've said so much, and finally, there's a sentence I like hearing."

Rewinder smiled and reached out his right hand toward Chen Moxuan again, "Come on, join me, join the new world!"

A sound of breaking air suddenly rang out, and the blade in Chen Moxuan's hand, wrapped in biting killing intent, slashed upwards violently.

But Rewinder had already been on guard in his heart; his Special Ability surged instantly, reversing the airflow to stop the blade a foot away from his arm.

Rewinder sighed softly, "It's a pity, you still haven't recognized the situation."

"I said, to break free from the binding force of my reversed airflow, you are still at least twice as weak..."

His voice suddenly broke off in his throat, and Rewinder felt a chill in his right arm.

His pupils trembled violently, and he watched helplessly as his severed arm, still maintaining the reaching gesture, drew a scarlet arc in the air.

The two phantoms of the Overlord overlapped, and Chen Moxuan turned and raised his leg, his right leg carrying the momentum to shatter mountains and break cliffs, kicking heavily toward Rewinder's abdomen.

Under the blessing of [Overlords Heavy Body], he could unleash at least a threefold increase in power.

The air let out an unbearable sonic boom under this strike.

Rewinder felt as if he had been struck by a giant hammer; a continuous sound of shattering came from within his body, and his internal organs were smashed to pieces under the terrifying shock force.

Dark red blood mixed with broken organs gushed out from his mouth, and his whole body flew backward rapidly.

"It's a pity, my patience for listening to your nonsense has ended."
