Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 1046: Three Epsilons

Karasenshu opened the box sealed with layers of black blood-stained talismans. Dark energy surged out from the cracks in the box.

From a considerable distance away, Canero and Qinglong heard the heart-wrenching, mournful wails.

It was the resentment of ten thousand women who had been disemboweled alive, along with the vengeful spirits of the fetuses in their wombs!

All this resentment was completely absorbed by the Oni God Child behind Karasenshu.

His body began to visibly enlarge at a rapid pace.

Black lightning coiled around his form, while sinister energy swirled over his black-and-red samurai armor like something unleashed from the underworld.

His features grew even more ferocious, and the two demon blades in his hands were tainted with a layer of terrifying evil energy!

Moments later, he transformed into a towering evil deity hundreds of meters tall!

Karasenshu’s body slowly rose and then merged into his form.

”The Divine Source—we Neon Pirates want a share too!”

The deity’s body radiated a power that was both chilling and nauseating. Even Canero and Qinglong wore extremely grave expressions.

Because from his presence, both of them sensed Epsilon-level power!

”These Neon Pirates are truly ruthless, hiding their strength for so long!”

Qinglong muttered under his breath.

Canero’s heart gradually sank.

Now, there was one more formidable competitor.

”BOOM!!”

A deafening roar erupted from beneath the earth. A streak of light shot up from underground—it was Zhang Yi’s figure.

Immediately after, the ground violently split open. Soul Reaper’s energy cannon pierced through the sky, narrowly missing Zhang Yi.

He soared into the air like a cannonball and then landed heavily in Mist Valley.

The sudden changes made both Zhang Yi and Soul Reaper temporarily halt their pursuit.

Looking at Qinglong and the Oni God Child, and sensing the Epsilon-level power emanating from the deity, Zhang Yi couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows repeatedly. ɽἁŊɵΒЁʂ

”Great, just when we reach this point, all sorts of monsters are crawling out of the woodwork!”

Instinctively, his gaze flicked toward the pillar of light deep within the chasm.

”You’re all here for the Divine Source, right? I assume I’m not mistaken?”

Zhang Yi’s words were meant to remind them that the Divine Source was the true prize.

This was also a reminder to Soul Reaper.

Right now, the enemies Columbus Ocean needed to face most weren’t him, Zhang Yi, but the Neon Pirates!

From the deity’s mouth came Karasenshu’s icy voice.

”We are allies with Columbus Ocean. So, let’s clear the field first!”

They weren’t foolish enough to fight among themselves and let Zhang Yi and Qinglong pick up the pieces.

Even if they were going to compete for the Divine Source, they had to eliminate the weaker players from the battlefield first!

Zhang Yi’s eyes instantly sharpened. ”You want to kill me? Do you really think you can?”

At that moment, Qinglong could no longer remain passive.

”Compared to Chaos, I’m not particularly skilled at running. But if anyone thinks they can crush me like an ant, they’re sorely mistaken!”

A vertical eye slowly opened on the head of the Weak Water Glazed Dragon God.

The black patterns covering its body lit up with golden light, and a powerful aura erupted violently from the dragon god!

Another Epsilon-level power!

After the apocalypse, various factions had been engaged in a frantic arms race.

The most crucial aspect was experimental research on top-tier superhumans, especially Epsilon-level superhumans.

Columbus Ocean had achieved significant results in this area.

The East Sea Region hadn’t stopped their efforts either.

And Qinglong was one of the East Sea Region’s test subjects.

Unfortunately, like Soul Reaper, he was a failed experiment.

Soul Reaper had obtained Epsilon-level power but lost his mind, becoming a monster.

Qinglong, however, had completely severed his own path to advancement, exhausting all his potential and remaining stuck at the Delta level.

But the effects of those human experiments had given him a secret trump card—the Epsilon Experience Card.

Each use cost him a portion of his lifespan, but it allowed him to possess power at the threshold of Epsilon level.

He was the East Sea Region’s ultimate hidden weapon for this operation!

Both Zhang Yi and Canero’s expressions turned peculiar.

They had originally believed themselves to be the strongest beings on the island and the most promising contenders for the Divine Source.

But who could have imagined that at the final moment, three Epsilon-level beings would appear simultaneously!

The immense power transformed into a storm that instantly dispersed the toxic miasma for dozens of kilometers around. The energy reaction was so intense that it shocked the command centers of both armies.

”Three Epsilon-level power sources have appeared simultaneously in the central area of Mist Valley!”

”What? Three?”

Whether it was General Huo En, Li Tianyang, or Situ Xin, they were all utterly stunned.

Thinking carefully, they each knew that one of those power sources came from their own side.

Another came from their opponents.

But where did the third power source originate?

The magnetic interference in Mist Valley disrupted detection, leaving them to speculate blindly without understanding what was truly happening there.

No one dared to send scouts to investigate.

On the joint forces’ side, the Neon Pirates’ representative glared darkly at General Huo En and the others.

”We thought we had hidden deeply enough, but it seems Columbus Ocean and the Huaxu Kingdom also made preparations.”

”Let’s just hope Lady Karasu can successfully seize the Divine Source and showcase the might of our great Neon Pirates!”

Meanwhile, the two Epsilon-level powerhouses guarding the outer seas, Cadillus and Xuanwu, were both drawn by these three power sources.

”Oh? Interesting, truly fascinating.”

A glimmer of interest appeared in Xuanwu’s eyes, but he didn’t pause the game in his hands.

”They’re merely three Epsilons who have just crossed the 10,000-point threshold.”

Whether for him or for Cadillus, this level of power was hardly noteworthy.

Cadillus sat on the main gun of the battleship, a mocking, disdainful smile playing on his lips.

”Going to such lengths to obtain power you weren’t meant to have comes with a heavy price!”

”But there’s no helping it,” he stretched lazily, ”those without talent desperately try to seize heaven’s will and change their fate. Yet even with their utmost efforts, they can’t compare to a chosen one like me!”

He laughed, but within his flippant gaze, a strange sharpness briefly flashed.

In the center of Mist Valley, three astonishing powers stood in confrontation.

The primary conflict that had once focused on Zhang Yi had now completely shifted.

Soul Reaper’s expression also turned extremely grave. He glanced coldly over his shoulder at Zhang Yi.

Behind Zhang Yi, the Dimensional Gate stood wide open. Whenever he wished, he could enter it to hide.

”Shouldn’t your focus be elsewhere now?”

”Even if you kill me, if the Divine Source falls into someone else’s hands, this entire operation will be meaningless for you!”

He raised his hands, smiling cheerfully. ”This time, I’m withdrawing!”
