*Tap, tap, tap…* Leisure steps echoed through the streets of Skyhaven. Yu Zi Yu took the rare time to appreciate the urban beauty unlike anything found in nature.

Built entirely from steel, the city exuded a beauty unique to metal. And coupled with its futuristic appearance, Yu Zi Yu could not help but curl his lips into a smile.

“I have to admit, Humans are exceptionally gifted in creation.” Admiring the view, Yu Zi Yu’s Psychic Energy gradually enveloped the entire city.

In just a few breaths, a slowly rotating 3D model of the entire city appeared in Yu Zi Yu’s mind.

“There are seven places with strong energy fluctuations, and another thirteen with subtle ones. There are countless Spirit Stone Mines, including many with the Light-Attribute that I desire…” Murmuring to himself, Yu Zi Yu gained a rough understanding of the city’s layout and resource distribution.

Although the current him had nothing to fear, he still believed that a necessary vigilance was still essential. Moreover, as a Tier-5 Transcendent with a powerful Soul, Yu Zi Yu was likely more proficient in using Psychic Energy than those with Psychic Innate Talent.

In an instant, he not only covered the entire Sky City but also uncovered the places exuding formidable auras.

“It seems they all know of my arrival.” With these words, Yu Zi Yu lifted his footsteps and headed towards the city centre.

At the same time, in the city centre, after a brief explanation of the situation, the entire hall fell into a solemn atmosphere, with some Superhumans wearing expressions of disbelief and incredulity. Some even began to boast.

“It’s just a Demonic Tree. Since he dares to come here, I’ll make it so that he doesn’t return alive.”

“Yes, since he is here alone, let’s show him the power of our Human Race.”

“Hmph, this clown seems to have forgotten that we Humans already dominate the food chain.”

…

Furious and boastful roars filled the hall, with many Superhumans’ Spiritual Energy surging.

*Rumble, rumble, rumble…* And with the rise of this terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure, the entire hall began to tremble.

Visible to the naked eye, one Spiritual Energy Storm after another erupted.

However, looking at these many enraged Superhumans, powerful Superhumans including the Master of Magnetism, the King of Knights, and even the Saint and Saintess of the Vatican, had their faces turned ugly.

Being too weak was a kind of bless. As for these truly powerful Superhumans, this whole experience was true agony.

*Tap, tap, tap…* The resounding footsteps, despite coming from afar, for the powerful figures like the Master of Magnetism, were like someone was stepping on their chests hard. A great sense of terror filled their mind and body.

*Tap…* Suddenly, a footstep, heavier and louder than before, echoed, before the entire Skyhave started shaking, as if someone had stepped on the entire city.

However, before many of the Superhumans could react…

*Puff!* A large mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs spurted out of the Master of Magnetism — Yule’s mouth.

“What’s wrong?”

“You…”

…

Exclamations rang out one after another, with countless Superhumans’ faces changing slightly. Several Americans rushed to support him.

But right then, Yule waved them away, grabbed onto the throne, gasping heavily, before speaking, “That Tree Monster knows that I’m connected to the entire city. Just now, it used the entire city to severely injure me.”

“What!?” The King of Knights suddenly exclaimed, her face visibly pale.

[It injured the Master of Magnetism using the city!? Are you kidding me!? It’s akin to using the Power of Potential to overwhelm a Tier-4. Can someone at the same Tier really achieve such a feat!?]

The King of Knights personally believed that despite her formidable Power of Potential, it was unlikely to materialize and inflict severe damage on someone as powerful as the Master of Magnetism, or even a Tier-3.

However, now, much to her surprise, there actually existed someone who, by using solely their Power of Potential, managed to severely injure the Master of Magnetism, whose strength was likely not inferior to her.

“Damn it!” Sighing in her heart, the King of Knights knew that they were in a precarious situation.

…

At this moment, the Master of Magnetism did not need to explain how terrifying that Tree Monster was.

*Tap, tap…* With each light step, a near tangible pressure came down on everyone from the horizon.

*Crack, crack…* The hall seemed unable to withstand the pressure and slowly began to crack. Even the pillars supporting the hall were creaking as cracks spread over them.

“Avalon…” With a tender shout, a Knight with blond hair, petite like a loli, drew her longsword from her waist with one hand.

Immediately after, a thin but transparent blue light screen, shaped like an inverted bowl, suddenly appeared with a thunderous clap, expanding at a terrifying speed.

However, right then, another deafening crash shook the hall as something broke through the light, shattering the hall and kicking up a cloud of dust. Accompanying this was a beam of sunlight descending from the sky, piercing through layers of clouds and shining on everyone’s faces.

From a distance, it looked as if the air was filled with golden dust. It was an exceptionally dazzling sight. However, no one was admiring this scenery at the moment, because within the dust, a slender silhouette slowly emerged.

“A Human!?” A voice filled with disbelief and sharpness echoed through the broken hall.

“No, that Demonic Tree can weave Human-like bodies from its Roots. Don’t be deceived by it!” The sudden reminder from a Chinese prodigy made the elites of the Human Race break into cold sweat.

Indeed, if anyone present here understood the Tree Monster best, it would be China. After all, this Tree Monster originated from there. It was like dealing with a neighbour.

Realizing who had intruded upon their meeting, the Chinese prodigies could not help but feel bitter.

Gritting their teeth, they tightened their grip on their long swords once again.

However, at that moment, a sudden roar echoed through the hall, “Tree Monster, huh? Let me see for myself if you’re as terrifying as the rumors.”

With these words, a burly young man stomped the ground, and with a thunderous roar, shot forward like a cannonball.

And just as he shot forward, a cold chill surged from him as a layer of ice armor covered him and a massive ice spear, measuring three meters long, manifested in his right hand.

This was the specialty of the Icelanders.

The ice armor enhanced their defense significantly, while the ice spear maximized their offensive capabilities.

Utilizing the Ice Element to its utmost, their defense and offense was perfectly balanced.

And this was also the reason a small island nation like Iceland managed to produce Natural Disaster-Class Tier-4 Superhumans.
