Chapter 67: The Heart
[Teleporting...]
[You are about to enter the Apocalypse Paradise.]
Su Xiao felt a blur of colors around him. After a brief sensation of being pushed forward, he found himself standing in a plaza with occasional passersby. On a bench ahead sat three individuals: a gaunt man, a short-haired girl with glasses, and a smiling man in a formal suit.
All three noticed Su Xiao's sudden appearance. The smiling man nodded friendly at Su Xiao, but the next second, his expression froze. He frowned at Su Xiao for a moment, then lowered his voice to speak with his teammates: "Why... do I find this guy a bit familiar?"
"Your imagination."
The short-haired glasses girl yawned. The gloomy man beside her remained silent, but he also glanced at Su Xiao. Then he too froze, lowering his voice to say: "I think... he looks a bit familiar too."
The gloomy man furrowed his brows. Even among the crowd of Absolute Strong Battle Angels in this plaza, the three of them were top-tier in strength, especially the short-haired glasses girl. The sharp aura hidden within her seemed ready to burst forth at any moment.
"What are you three gawking at?"
Battle Angel Zerlina stopped in her tracks. She wore a tech-filled hoodie, and within the collar, fluorescent energy transmission conduits were visible. Paired with her golden hair and the tech module loaded on her right arm guard, she exuded a unique cyberpunk aesthetic.
That's right, it was the elegant show-off master Zerlina. She was the captain of this five-person team. Her backing down when facing Su Xiao and the "Vicious Combination" in the previous world didn't mean she was weak. Knowing when to yield was wise when simultaneously confronting Su Xiao and that duo.
Zerlina had a Void Tree reputation of up to 57,000 points. How could such a Battle Angel be weak? Hence, in two hours, her team would be one of the two starting teams from the Apocalypse Paradise side.
This time, the number of teams from the six Paradise factions wasn't determined by whether team members died off and the faction lost. This World War (Absolute Strong tier) was far more brutal than anticipated. The root cause was the spoils being contested in this war.
