Compared to those elusive supernatural beings wielding rule-based powers, the Chainsaw Maniac is actually much easier to deal with.

But as easy as it might seem, it’s still a supernatural entity.

After pausing for a moment, the bullet holes on its body had mostly healed, leaving only dried blood to show it had undergone a round of gunfire.

Upon seeing this, Captain Mao maintained his composure despite the shock and raised his right fist: "Prepare to fire."

Lv Bai certainly wasn’t intimidated by the Chainsaw Maniac either. He didn’t even see this supernatural being in front of him as worthy of his attention, focusing instead on his newly acquired Black Level ability.

[Restore].

From the name alone, it’s indeed not easy to determine what this ability does.

However, unlike the initial bewilderment experienced when acquiring the [Load] ability, [Restore], also a Black Level ability, doesn’t require any preconditions for use.

The usage of [Restore] is obvious.

Lv Bai noticed that on his system’s main interface, under the temporary save slot that appeared due to [Load], there was now a new blank area.

Clicking that blank area, there was no delay.

In the next moment, hundreds of abilities appeared before his retina.

[Super-speed Regeneration], [Blood Burst], [Five Immortals Seek Titles], [Power Bank], [Superhero Gene]...

He only glanced through them briefly to realize what these abilities had in common—they were all abilities he had either used or read before.

Upon seeing these hundreds of abilities, he was intuitively aware that he could choose any one of them to reclaim as his own.

This effect alone was indeed quite astounding.

This can only be expected from a Black Level strength.

It’s worth noting that after gaining the ability [Load], Death Fighters could barely pose a threat to him.

Thus, danger for him could only come from the Death Arena itself.

If he were to encounter a Death Arena with a sufficiently high power level, even with [Load] at his disposal, he couldn’t guarantee his safety.

After all, each round’s Ability Pool level is random. If Death Fighters only possess White Level abilities, even if Lv Bai can read all these White abilities, it wouldn’t cause much of a ripple.

But [Restore] is different.

This Black Level ability essentially doesn’t care what level the Ability Pool is.

Even if the front and back rounds of ability pools in a Death match were entirely White Level, what difference does it make to Lv Bai? Would it affect his ability to use restored colorful abilities?

From this perspective, the only flaw of [Restore] is that it can only restore one ability at a time.

The impact is there, but not significant.

If this ability isn’t suitable, he can switch to another more fitting one. At most, he just can’t immediately assemble an unbeatable set of abilities.

Of course, as a stand-alone ability, [Restore] is strong, but its selection range isn’t that vast for normal Death Fighters.

Ultimately, those normal Death Fighters might use at most three abilities in a Death match encounter, and only after going through enough matches can they barely enhance the strength of this "Discard Pile."

Lv Bai certainly doesn’t count as a normal Death Fighter.

With the combination of [Load], it’s not uncommon for him to fill the "Discard Pile" with hundreds of abilities in a single Death match.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

The dense gunfire, reminiscent of a typewriter, rang out beside Lv Bai, temporarily drawing his attention away from the system interface in front of his retina.

Looking up, the Chainsaw Maniac, holding its chainsaw, abandoned all defenses, trudging forward step by step under the barrage, evidently struggling.

It seemed to feel no pain; the more bullets hit it, the more sinister its smile became.

"You! Wait for me! I’m coming over right away!"

With a grim smile, the Chainsaw Maniac resolutely advanced.

Captain Mao’s forehead was beaded with sweat, yet he didn’t loosen his grip on the trigger, shouting without turning his head, "Master Lv, leave this to us; you should head back to the command center."

The manner of the Chainsaw Maniac was quite intimidating to ordinary people.

Several soldiers were so tense under this pressure that their hands trembled, struggling to steady their guns.

Lv Bai clearly didn’t belong to that category. He casually selected a colorful ability from the "Recycling Station," then picked up a toothpick-thin twig from the ground.

With a cheerful smile, he patted Captain Mao on the shoulder.

"No need for such trouble."

He casually waved the small twig in his hand, appearing nonchalant: "Earth Splitting Slash."

Yet, the tiny twig, under his gesture, emitted a profound indigo ripple.

Subsequently, a violently raging Sword Wave surged from the twig, rapidly expanding while rushing towards the Chainsaw Maniac from below.

Merely the overflowing energy of this Sword Wave split the ground along its path, creating a half-meter wide trail.

The Chainsaw Maniac ahead didn’t even realize what hit it, instantly being torn apart by the ferocious Sword Wave, its dismembered body and blood mist completely evaporated.

If not for a few remaining residues, one couldn’t imagine a supernatural being had stood here moments ago.

[Great Sword Master’s Flying Slash (Colorful): A formidable long-range attack technique, sending out Sword Qi with immense power, forming a Sword Wave attack, enough to easily cut through an island. Note: The stronger the slash, the greater the consumption.]

Once everything settled.

The scene was nearly frozen.

Everyone present, including Captain Mao, was rigidly turning their heads to look at Lv Bai.

Captain Mao opened his mouth, only to find his voice was sort of hoarse.

"That... just now was?"

"Want to learn it?"

Lv Bai laughed and carelessly tossed away the twig in his hand: "Let’s go, head back to the command center first."

...

Containment Center, Temporary Command Headquarters Building.

A staff member sitting in front of the detection instrument suddenly cried out: "Detected a high-energy reaction in Zone C."

Unfortunately, no one found this discovery surprising.

The gigantic indigo Sword Wave alone was visible to anyone with eyes, requiring no reminder from the monitoring staff.

Minister Zhang quickly walked over to inquire: "Can you determine the specific situation?"

To be frank, in their experience, even when supernatural beings created disturbances, it was shadowed with Yin Qi, and they had never seen this type of energy before.

"I’ve got it here."

On the other side, a staff member brought up the satellite surveillance footage, projecting it onto the central screen of the hall.

Although the footage was quite blurry, it was still barely discernible that a squad of soldiers was firing.

Someone pointed at the screen, uncertainly saying: "In the footage, this should be Master Lv, right?"
