Zhang Yi answered Yasin Canero's communication.
"Hey, it's Chaos."
"Hey, Chaos, long time no see. You're still the same reckless, gutsy bastard you always were! Do you have any idea what your actions this time mean?"
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow.
"What could they possibly mean?"
Canero said, "Openly invading a nation and killing that nation's order enforcers. That means... a declaration of war!"
Zhang Yi laughed.
"Oh, is that how it is? Then let me apologize for that. Please help me convey my deepest apologies to the Neon people."
Canero: "Apologize? You think an apology can solve something like this?"
Zhang Yi suddenly said in a very angry tone, "I already said I'm sorry, what more do you want from me? Do you want me to pay compensation? Sorry, I'm not discussing anything over a hundred bucks—that's my bottom line!""Hmm, I suggest settling in Neon currency. What do you think?"
Canero: "..."
He was silent for a long, long time.
At this moment, Canero was inside an armed helicopter, observing Zhang Yi and the others' movements through a screen.
Zhang Yi's words were full of mockery, but in truth, they were an expression of arrogance.
Got a problem? Come and fight me then?
Canero was also getting a headache right now.
Although his strength had now reached the Epsilon level, and he was no weakling.
But at this moment, Zhang Yi was already a Black Chariot-tier Transcendent!
Even looking across the entire planet, there weren't many Transcendents who could stand against him.
Clearly, Canero had no intention of openly breaking with Zhang Yi right now.
"Chaos, that's not funny!"
Canero said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yi stared at the five armed helicopters in the distance and said coldly, "I'm not in the mood to joke with you either. Listen up, Piercer! I did this, so what? If you have a problem, I'll wipe all of you out right now!"
Zhang Yi couldn't be bothered to argue with them.
In the face of absolute strength disparity, everything else was meaningless.
He also didn't believe that Colombia would go to war with Huaxu Nation over an already crippled Neon.
As for so-called rules and order, from the day they were born, they existed to be broken.
And they would surely bring enormous benefits to those who broke them.
Colombia had done plenty of that themselves, so there was no need to give them face.
Canero was now incredibly frustrated. Dealing with someone who refused to listen to reason and couldn't be beaten was truly a difficult situation.
"Chaos, don't be too arrogant! Although your strength is formidable, this is still Colombian Navy territory after all."
"Look above your head—there are already many missiles locked onto this area! If we're willing, we can keep you here forever!"
Zhang Yi immediately retorted, "And kill yourselves in the process too, right?"
Canero's words caught in his throat.
If they really unleashed the Love of Death, they would surely die here as well.
Besides, Canero was only threatening Zhang Yi, trying to keep his arrogance in check.
They didn't dare act rashly. After all, if the world's two superpowers truly went to war, no one wanted to bear the consequences.
"Chaos, just stop here! You've already gone too far."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi suddenly laughed.
"Fine, I'll leave right away."
Since everything was already done, there was no point in staying any longer.
"Good, leave as quickly as possible."
Canero said this and then ordered the five fighter jets to pull away, keeping a sufficiently safe distance from Zhang Yi and the others.
Zhang Yi was about to leave when Deng Shentong stared at the ancient biological fossil within Undying Mountain and said to Zhang Yi, "Let's take this thing with us too! I feel like... it looks a bit familiar."
He rubbed his chin, speaking seriously.
"Familiar? Where have you seen this thing before?"
Zhang Yi asked curiously.
Deng Shentong nodded. "Anyway, let's bring it back first! It's a big headache for others, but for a space-type like you, it's just a trivial effort, isn't it?"
"Alright then."
Zhang Yi didn't refuse. Wherever he went, he always followed the principle of never leaving empty-handed.
So Zhang Yi teleported toward Undying Mountain, raising his hand to store that enormous ancient biological fossil into his dimensional space.
But just at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.
"Boom! Boom!!"
Above the high heavens, dark clouds rapidly gathered, accompanied by rumbling thunder.
Massive bolts of lightning tore through the sky like silver swords, directly splitting the heavens in half from southwest to northeast.
It was as if the sky god was enraged, about to punish some existence.
Above Edo City, which had already fallen into night, rolling dark clouds surged in, blanketing the entire sky.
Edo was plunged into absolute pitch black, so dark that even stretching out a hand made it hard to clearly see one's fingers.
That faint sense of crisis once again crept into Zhang Yi's heart.
His heart shuddered with alarm.
"What must come, has finally come after all?"
Zhang Yi didn't go to collect the ancient biological fossil. Instead, he immediately moved to stand in front of Liang Yue and the others, shielding them.
"Jingle, jangle!"
The sound of clinking pendants rang out, crisp and pleasant to the ear.
Zhang Yi looked up and suddenly felt a figure materialize in midair beneath the high heavens.
It was only by the lightning that flashed and vanished in an instant that he managed to catch a glimpse of that figure's form.
It was a person shrouded entirely in a black robe, raising a scepter high, gazing down upon the entire land like a deity—and upon Zhang Yi and the others standing on that land.
"That hidden force has finally shown itself, hasn't it?"
Zhang Yi said in a deep voice.
Everyone was on high alert. Huahua crouched low, letting out a warning growl from her throat.
The pressure this person brought upon them was even greater than the Ultimate Evil Boy's! Far greater!
And Canero, who had left Edo and was originally watching Zhang Yi from a distance, immediately ordered the fighter pilot to quickly steer clear of this area.
"Those mysterious fellows are finally making their move, huh? Chaos, this time you've pissed off something you shouldn't have."
Canero stared at Edo City beneath the dark clouds, a hint of anticipation rising in his heart.
If this mysterious person could eliminate Zhang Yi, then in the standoff over the southeastern sea, they would lose one fearsome enemy.
But then...
He slowly furrowed his brow, a complex, indescribable feeling stirring within him.
"But if that guy really is a member of the mysterious underground civilization... should I stand on humanity's side, or... on Colombia's side?"
No matter what, for now, he could only choose to watch from the sidelines and not intervene.
There was no helping it. Even if he wanted to do something, his strength wouldn't allow it.
But he immediately transmitted the footage from here to the Navy headquarters.
It was up to Commander Douglas to decide whether to launch a special military operation here.
