Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

Chapter 238: Chapter 150: Turmoil and Slaughter

RAT-A-TAT-TAT!

In the streets of the Iron Ring District, patrol car after patrol car rushed to an intersection, where over a dozen patrol officers opened fire.

Following their line of fire, seven or eight armed combatants could be seen hiding behind vehicles across the street, locked in a firefight with the officers.

Bullets flew and muzzles flashed.

Following the explosion of the bridge, the Rhombus Ring City Circle erupted in warfare.

This was especially true in the outermost Iron Ring District, where squad after squad of armed Rebels had stealthily appeared, spreading out across more than a dozen blocks to wreak havoc.

It was obvious to anyone that they were disrupting the city’s internal reinforcements, delaying a full-scale deployment of aid to the war effort outside the high walls.

"Damn it, these Rebel bastards."

"Light ’em up!"

A Patrol Department captain roared, ordering his men to bring up a machine gun and lay down continuous fire across the street.

Amidst the continuous gunfire, a Superpower Bureau hovercar swooped in from the sky, having arrived as reinforcements from the city’s inner ring.

It looked as though they were about to completely annihilate the armed squad on this block.

But then—

FWOOSH!!

A rocket-propelled grenade tore through the air, its fiery tail streaking behind it as it slammed into two of the patrol cars.

BOOM!

A fireball erupted as the patrol cars exploded violently.

Several figures were blasted off their feet, their bodies engulfed in flames amidst a chorus of agonized screams.

Witnessing this, the Elite Level Patrol Department captain’s eyes widened in shock and fury.

He whipped his head around and saw that among the squad of Rebel fighters at the opposite end of the street, one man was actually shouldering an anti-tank rocket launcher.

As if sensing his gaze, the man offered a cold smile as someone behind him produced another rocket and began to reload the launcher.

The sight filled the Patrol Department captain with a mixture of shock and rage, and he hastily ordered his squad to scatter.

"Take cover!"

BOOM!!

Another rocket-propelled grenade tore through the air, heading straight for the officers.

As they watched in horror and fury, the rocket’s trail streaked across the sky, about to strike the other Patrol Department officers.

RAT-A-TAT-TAT-TAT!

The hovercar high above was finally in position. It quickly deployed its weapon turret and opened fire.

Relying on its smart-targeting system, a torrent of bullets rained down and struck the rocket.

BOOM!!

The flash was blinding. The rocket detonated in mid-air, the massive explosion shaking the entire block.

Amidst the billowing smoke and blinding flames, residents of the Iron Ring District cowered in nearby buildings. They were slumped in corners, bodies trembling and faces etched with terror, not daring to make a sound.

「Meanwhile, on another battlefield in the streets...」

BOOM.

A car flew into the air as if it had been kicked.

It smashed into a fire hydrant, which burst open, spraying water everywhere. The impact even knocked a patrol car behind it back half a meter.

Several patrol officers who had been firing stared wide-eyed before the shockwave sent them flying. They coughed up blood and crashed to the ground with the sickening sound of breaking bones.

Seeing this, the blue-eyed Legos gave a cold smile. He leaped out brazenly to stand in the center of the block, deliberately exposing himself.

"You think you people can stop me?"

As he spoke, he charged straight at the other Patrol Department officers.

Just as more blood was about to be shed,

THUD!!

A burly figure wreathed in white Qi Flame appeared. A powerhouse from the Superpower Bureau had finally arrived, followed by teams of elites who rushed in to lock down the street.

"Legos!"

His face contorted with rage, Yue Zhenhong erupted with Qi Flame, blocking Legos’s fatal punch and saving several patrol officers.

The two exchanged several blows in the blink of an eye, blasting shallow craters into the pavement.

"You’ve been colluding with Lu Shan all along, haven’t you?"

Yue Zhenhong forced him back with a powerful punch.

The war and the chaos inside the city had erupted simultaneously. Anyone could tell something was amiss.

"Hahaha, of course we have!"

Legos blocked the blast of Qi Flame with one palm, his Genetic Spring erupting with its full power.

The concrete beneath his feet shattered. He met Yue Zhenhong’s gaze and sneered, "The Alliance Country has been at peace for too long. You’ve all forgotten the rules of the old days."

"Besides, you people love your little dog-eat-dog struggles, don’t you? So let’s just smash the entire Ring City to pieces and see how you fight then! Hahahaha!"

His piercing voice was transmitted via numerous drones into the combat communications network. The major corporate powers in the city’s inner ring noted the disturbance and saw the situation unfolding throughout the Iron Ring District.

Aside from the Biotechnology Company, which vowed to capture Legos at all costs,

the other four mega-corporations remained eerily silent, completely ignoring the situation. Even the teams dispatched by the Biotechnology Company were focused solely on Legos, not intervening in the chaos on other streets.

"Directors, Lu Shan has already begun his assault on the city. The firepower is intense. As for the punitive force..."

"Have them stand by and wait."

In a conference room, the projected holograms of directors from various corporate branches appeared, their virtual avatars hovering around a round table like gods.

Upon hearing a secretary’s question, one of them said coldly, "Doesn’t Yao Capital refuse to acknowledge the punitive force’s existence? Then let them fight it out themselves."

"Once the City Defense Department has suffered enough casualties, they’ll come begging to us. It won’t be too late to act then."

The cold statement was met with unanimous agreement. ’Isn’t this the very moment they had all painstakingly planned for?’

’Without external pressure, how could the punitive force gain true recognition and become the ultimate law enforcement body in the wilds and the Rhombus Ring City Circle? And how could they, the mega-corporations, obtain greater authority for self-defense?’

"And what about these Rebels inside the city?"

"Aren’t the Superpower Bureau and the Patrol Department handling them?"

Another director spoke, his tone flat. "They’re just civilians. If they die, they die."

"Just tell our people to protect the corporate towers. The flames of war will never reach the inner ring..."
