The Fly, The Root of All Evil

The Spider Monster had no idea that its reputation was ruined in an instant. It was just nervously thinking about escape plans, scared out of its wits.

Qi Yuan was similarly nervous as he watched the spider, afraid that it would suddenly snap and attack him.

"Taking hostages and threats won't work. If I thoroughly anger the Golden-eyed Humans I'd die horribly."

Die!!

I'm going to die...

The keywords triggered something in its mind. The Spider Monster was like a startled bird, extremely anxious.

"What is his superpower anyway? Dragon? Fire? Doesn't seem like either... Damn it, if I knew his superpower I'd know how to escape!"

The Spider Monster suddenly noticed its shadow on the ground and looked up at the sky.

The sky was stained red and gold by the setting sun. Large clouds covered half the sky, their edges outlined in gold, sunlight streaming through the gaps.

Gold!?

"I see... So his superpower is related to the sun or light."

Qi Yuan wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Don't imagine things, brother. Just go.

The Spider Monster's endless speculation was making Qi Yuan anxious on its behalf. After enduring it for a few minutes, he finally couldn't resist and relaxed.

He reached out to shoo away the flies that had been buzzing around him in the marketplace for a while. But this seemed to touch a nerve with the already high-strung Spider Monster.

"He's going to attack! No, I can't just wait here to die."

Should I jump up high and break out?

Just as the Spider Monster was thinking of a way out, its mind disobeyed orders and continued the storyline.

It jumped high into the sky. With no need to worry about harming other humans, the Golden-eyed Human unleashed countless rays of light that riddled its body.

What if I just charge out recklessly and cause chaos to slip away in the confusion?

Merely forming the thought, it pictured the Golden-eyed Human becoming enraged and instantly incinerating it into ash, killing it on the spot.

Every escape plan it thought of was instantly accompanied by an imagined death in its mind.

Qi Yuan's outstretched hand shook slightly as he tried to shoo away the flies.

He didn't know whether to put his hand down or keep holding it up.

The onlookers and livestream viewers didn't think he was merely shooing away flies. Seeing his intention to attack, they held their breath and watched his every move intently.

【Come on bro, don't screw this up!】

【Our city's hottie, girls go for him!】

【Don't bother, you won't have the guts to confess to him in person after seeing the real deal. I'm his classmate.】

【His classmate hasn't seen him use his superpower for almost three years. Are all top-tier superhumans this low-key?】

【Some people are monster-slaying badasses so young while I'm still struggling through battle-focused college prep, slowly comprehending the disparities of the world】

【Spectating the expert in action】

Hmm?

Qi Yuan kept his hand in mid-air.

A massive amount of energy suddenly surged into his body, continuously filling him from inside.

The power was like the blazing summer sun, its rays mercilessly scorching and searing everything they touched.

Countless ways of utilizing this power appeared in his mind——

Light manipulation, light barriers, light spheres...

Feeling this power, Qi Yuan temporarily forgot about the danger he was in.

Having imagined a hundred death scenarios, pent-up terror overwhelmed the Spider Monster's rationality.

"I'm as good as dead anyway, I still have a sliver of hope if I fight."

Feeling utterly humiliated, its eyes turned fierce.

Now is the chance!

This arrogant Golden-eyed Human doesn't see it as a threat, giving it a golden opportunity.

In just half a second, the Spider Monster spit out silk threads to form a simple web. It rapidly crawled along the threads towards Qi Yuan.

A pair of eerie human eyes opened, aimed straight at Qi Yuan.

Its pincers opened as it spit out venom.

Opening its human eyes was its strongest form, bringing its observational skills to their peak, allowing it to temporarily break through to the physical level of a B-rank monster.

The price was its energy would be completely drained, resulting in a period of weakness.

Between life and death, the Spider Monster had no time to consider the consequences.

The racing figure moved so quickly it was imperceptible to the naked eye, leaving an afterimage in the gale.

"So fast!"

Zhou Haiqing involuntarily clenched his fist and shouted, like a sports commentator passionately narrating the scene to the livestream audience.

"With pure physical ability alone, it has reached the level of a B-rank monster."

【Holy sh*t bro, don't crash and burn!】

【That huge spider just vanished】

【Heh, I saw through his facade all along. Can't be anything but a weakling, right?】

The words in the bullet screen had barely floated by——

A dazzling light barrier rose up, blocking the venom the spider had spit out.

The venom that could melt down specialized monster-proof residential buildings could not damage the light barrier one bit upon contact.

The spider racing along the spider silk immediately turned around to flee.

What wishful thinking about a sliver of hope!

How was slamming into him different from seeking death?!!

It thought of the human idiom "luring the enemy in deep", this human was too sinister.

As the Spider Monster turned to escape, the officers on duty didn't try to stop it.

They had only one thought——

They absolutely could not drag the expert down!

As if in response to their efforts...

The light barrier as dazzling as the sunlight transformed into spheres of light.

The distinct knuckles and long fingers flicked away dust.

Countless light spheres shot out, pulling behind them rays of light that pierced through the fleeing Spider Monster.

Before the Spider Monster could react, let alone scream, it disintegrated into ash, dissipating on the spot.

So strong! Too strong!

The livestream audience yelled in their hearts.

Can't blame them for lacking experience.

With the monster influence, many outdoor areas lacked signal coverage for livestreams. The battle intensity they could lurk on was limited.

Besides, anyone who reached B-rank superhuman strength wouldn't bother giving ordinary people livestreams if they didn't struggle to breakthrough higher ranks.

【I'm so pumped I'm speechless, one word, thrilling!】

【Look at his awakened superpower, then look at my garbage one】

【F*ck, you're here to show off your awakened superpower】

【An awakened trash superpower is worse than having no power at all, at least there's still hope】

【Seriously, superpowers are not the point. The strongest superpowers also need enough energy to unleash them. I'm a water ball superhuman, the S-rank superhuman is an entire ocean】

【I know you have a water superpower, go toss the seal plush out】

The officers at the scene had broader experience than the audience. But it was still their first time seeing such a young powerhouse.

A dragon among men...

Ahem, has the makings of an S-rank superhuman!

But they weren't sure if it was just their imagination...those golden eyes seemed not as bright as before...

After releasing his power, Qi Yuan returned to the level of a novice fighter.

He was like a poor man who inexplicably came upon a huge fortune, then watched the money vanish just as inexplicably.

Besides bewilderment, there was also some regret.

Especially when he remembered he really was poor, the feeling of regret grew stronger.

It wasn't until he glanced down and saw the fly's corpse that Qi Yuan confirmed everything before wasn't a dream.

Wait a minute!

If his earlier attack had hit, there wouldn't be a fly corpse at all.

Tsk, so it didn't hit?

If it had hit, my superpower wouldn't have disappeared.

Qi·Who-Inexplicably-Lost-Millions·Yuan unreasonably blamed it all on the fly.
