The towering Tree of Order immediately rose from the ground. Now, the canopy of the "Order Wood" could cover more than thirty meters, enveloping half the workshop.
The two guards by the abandoned machinery stared blankly at everything before them. Watching a towering tree obscure the crimson moon in the mist, they felt something was off, but couldn't quite pinpoint what.
Although the "Order Wood" grew large, it had no roots, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by those underground.
However, the moment it grew, its immense spirituality could easily be detected by Beyonders.
Hobert was prepared. While planting his knife into the ground, he held the "Teleportation Statue" in his other hand, planning to "teleport" the people underground directly to the surface.
Klein drew his gun and retreated, ready to support his teammate at any time.
The moment he held the "Teleportation Statue," Hobert immediately sensed an underground structure beneath his feet, and within that structure were two people.
Hobert warned, "The enemy has helpers!"
Two against two, their chances of winning were still good, and they had the element of surprise.
When "teleporting" one of the people, Hobert immediately realized something was wrong. The person he was "teleporting" was a Sequence 6!
He had developed a certain "feel" for using the "Teleportation Statue," and could immediately distinguish between Sequence 6 and Sequence 7.
So Hobert simply moved the person's head to the surface, only to find that he had only moved up a shadow!
This was a "Rose Bishop"!
Hobert immediately made his judgment!
Strange, wasn't Heyman always trying to escape the Aurora Order? How could he have a "Rose Bishop" by his side? Could it be that he was captured by the Aurora Order?
Although he had questions, Hobert still threw out the "Disorder Stone" he had prepared long ago: "Madness!"
The shadow "flowing" on the ground immediately let out a scream, and chunks of flesh emerged from the "shadow," teetering on the brink of losing control.
His flesh collapsed while he desperately controlled it, turning it into a shadow to evade Hobert's subsequent attacks and Klein's bullets.
The "Disorder Stone" was not so powerful when dealing with Sequence 6, even for the "Secrets Supplicant" pathway.
Hobert realized that the other party's condition was not good to begin with!
Having completed the "bribe" process, Hobert did not continue to use "Weaken," but as the holder of the "Order Wood," he "distorted" the environment under the canopy, making the spirituality more abundant.
The "Rose Bishop," who was already very sensitive to spirituality, could more easily hear some maddening whispers in a more spiritually abundant environment.
Klein, after discovering that ordinary bullets could not harm the "flowing" shadows on the ground, retreated two more steps to avoid affecting Hobert's performance.
Although Hobert's Tang Dao could stab the opponent, he tried not to engage in close combat with this enemy who was about to lose control, as there was still an enemy underground.
So he poured his spirituality into the "Psychological Spoon": "Madness!"
The shadow screamed in pain again. He could no longer suppress the collapse of his flesh and was rapidly turning into a monster.
Only then did Hobert immediately step forward, preparing to finish him off with a single strike.
But the knife he raised seemed to be wrapped in a circle of shadow, as if Hobert had slashed into a ball of cotton.
A mass of viscous flesh was coming towards them from the side of the abandoned machinery. As it passed the two worker-dressed guards, the mass of flesh "devoured" one of the guards and immediately sprayed a cloud of flesh towards Hobert and Klein.
Hobert immediately used "Distortion" to change the direction of the flesh's attack. The moment his Beyonder ability "touched" the flesh, it triggered a series of explosions!
Another "Rose Bishop"!
There was no Heyman here at all, so why did the divination point to this place?
Soon, Hobert had the answer in his heart: that pipe was not Heyman's item at all!
How could someone who didn't even leave his own hair behind leave his used pipe in a hiding place?
Heyman had been trying to escape the Aurora Order. The pipe was likely an item used by Hillman. He would find a chance to switch pipes with Hillman, then deliberately expose himself and leave the pipe for other Beyonders.
When Hobert was still a Sequence 9, he and Xio had chased Heyman and obtained a pipe, which should have been Hillman's pipe.
And the mass of flesh that had begun to lose control should be Hillman. He was severely injured by "2-365" a few weeks ago and had not recovered, and couldn't even use the Beyonder abilities of a "Rose Bishop."
That's why he completely lost control under Hobert's series of attacks.
Hobert suddenly exclaimed: This is the "Swindler"!
Clearly only Sequence 8, but through tricks, he killed a Sequence 6.
Ignoring the out-of-control Hillman, Hobert kicked a small stone towards the rapidly moving mass of flesh, completing the "bribe" process: "Weaken!"
First, give the opponent a negative effect!
Seeing that the speed of the mass of flesh had slowed down, Hobert had time to wink at Klein, signaling him to hide. That was a "Rose Bishop" in good condition, and the aftermath of the battle could injure Klein, who was only Sequence 8.
But when he turned his head, he found that Klein had already hidden far away.
Roar~
Hillman completely lost control. His face was connected to his chest, one eye drooped to the position of his leg, his mouth had become a grotesque maw filled with bone spurs like fangs, and he seemed to be carrying a huge fleshy tumor on his back, with his arms and internal organs inside the tumor.
Hobert felt a little uncomfortable seeing the other party's appearance: The appearance of a "Rose Bishop" after losing control was truly disgusting.
But this was exactly what he wanted. He simply moved the monster between himself and the "Rose Bishop," and used "Distortion" to twist the monster's indiscriminate attacks towards the "Rose Bishop."
This was equivalent to having a monster helper.
The "Rose Bishop" immediately launched a wave of "flesh bombs" at the monster, and the monster roared, its tumor on its back split open, and it also launched some flesh at the "Rose Bishop."
Just as they were bombarding each other with flesh, Hobert put away the "Teleportation Statue," replaced it with the "Dream Stealing Pocket Watch," and reached out to steal the Beyonder ability of the "Rose Bishop" to transform into a mass of flesh.
The "Rose Bishop," in surprise, turned into a human figure with the appearance of a man in his thirties, holding a mass of flesh in his arms, which was the guard he had "devoured" earlier.
Hobert felt a little regretful that he couldn't steal "Flesh Bomb," but the speed of the "Rose Bishop" who couldn't turn into a flesh state was greatly reduced.
The monster took the opportunity to open its maw full of bone spurs and sharp teeth and pounced towards the "Rose Bishop."
The "Rose Bishop" calmly threw the guard's head into the monster's mouth, and after the monster swallowed it, he immediately detonated it, blasting the monster open from the inside, blowing it to pieces.
