On the battlefield, Zheng Yifan truly experienced a level of exhilaration he had never felt before. Tens of thousands of troops continuously maneuvered through the horde of Zombies, showing no fear of their attacks. All they needed to do was eliminate them.
He didn't even have to manage them; they instinctively fought in formation. The ones with higher Power of Faith naturally became leaders, guiding other Avatars of the Believers into battle. They had fully inherited the battle formation techniques that Zheng Yifan had learned from Lin Chong.
The fighting was orderly.
Lin Chong was at least an instructor for eight hundred thousand elite troops, incredibly strong, leading a Million Army in battle. Moreover, there were no longer any tedious matters like sharing the same armor; all the Avatars of the Believers were united in purpose, completely obedient to Zheng Yifan's commands. They shared a collective intelligence, as if they were one entity.
Thus, there were no difficulties, no deserters, and no routs; their cooperation was seamless.
In contrast, the Zombies appeared increasingly vulnerable. They were chaotic and only knew to reach out with their arms to grab a piece of flesh from the Avatars of the Believers.
Unfortunately for them, they were destined to be disappointed. The Zombie avatars were composed entirely of pure Superpower and had no physical form; they could only futilely stretch out their Claws.
Zheng Yifan would not give them a chance. At this stage of battle, there were no more questions to consider.
The surrounding Fire Elemental Espers gradually tightened their encirclement. However, Sun Hai and his son did not move; they stood beside Zheng Yifan, preparing their final moves.
At this point in the fight, they realized that the Zombies had been completely overwhelmed by Zheng Yifan. If they didn’t make a show of their abilities now, there would be no point in doing so later.
In the direction facing them, powerful lights and shadows began to appear among the Zombie horde. Several Superpowered Individuals were converging toward this direction; it was clear they were the true strong ones from the Gathering Place. The most noticeable among them was Wu Yingzhou, who had mastered Superpower Application to perfection. His avatars could work together against enemies and had switched to weapons amidst the crowd.
These were large blades provided for Superpowered Individuals; instead of guns, they wielded knives because using knives allowed for close combat on the battlefield. If they used long spears, they would need to maintain a certain distance. If a Zombie got too close, it would be impossible to fight back effectively.
The Avatars of the Believers had no fear of Zombies closing in; all they needed to do was decapitate them—it seemed so simple.
However, behind the rescue team, some individuals provided cover for them: the Firearm Espers. Some elite members participated in covering missions to ensure their safe rendezvous with Zheng Yifan and then protect their return to the Gathering Place.
Combat was that straightforward. Yet some simply could not achieve it.
For instance, the Zombies on the battlefield would absolutely not allow them to return.
The Zombie Leader had already taken notice of them, and more Advanced Zombies were gathering here by the minute.
The Fifth Level Mutated Zombie was crucial for the Zombie horde. As long as that Zombie survived, it could continuously provide them with military support, allowing the Second-Level Zombies to evolve. Eventually, once it accumulated enough power, it could even advance to a Third-Stage Zombie.
What a powerful force this was. Not only did humans understand this, but the Zombie Leaders were also aware of it.
As long as they protected this Zombie, everything would change.
However, the Zombie was unaware that the Fifth-Stage Zombie had already been eliminated, and it was done in one fell swoop by Zheng Yifan.
At this point in the battle, nothing mattered anymore; the Zombies had gone completely mad.
Zheng Yifan's Avatar of the Believers team was relentlessly slaughtering the endless stream of Zombies. Unfortunately, despite having taken down nearly a million Zombies by now, it was still just a drop in the bucket against the continuous onslaught of more Zombies.
The only way forward was to eliminate the Leader Zombie and gradually clear out these worthless Zombies.
Zheng Yifan would need to stay busy for several months straight.
"Boss! Watch out!" shouted his teacher beside him. His Superpower merely coordinated the fire-based Superpowers of other Superpowered Individuals. On his own, he was quite weak in combat.
Just like now. He could only step forward to shield Zheng Yifan from harm.
"Idiot! Don't you know your body is fragile? I'm not afraid of some pathetic Third-Stage Zombie!"
A Third-Stage Zombie approached Zheng Yifan, who was deep in thought. Its massive tail swung with tremendous force, ready to strike Zheng Yifan at any moment.
No matter how it attacked, Zheng Yifan knew he wouldn't suffer significant damage; he had absolute confidence in that.
The tail of the Third-Stage Zombie swung down with great power. Once upon a time, this move had nearly taken him out, but now he simply angled his Adamantium Shield to deflect the blow and then struck fiercely at the Zombie's head with his right hand.
In just one second, the Zombie's head was smashed into a pulp. Its body staggered back a few steps before transforming into green Zombie Fluid.
Zheng Yifan's strength had grown immensely—unbelievably so.
However, nearby, Sun Hai and his son, along with other Superpowered Individuals, were furious. This was a blatant slap in the face—an ambush on their leader right before their eyes.
The most humiliating thing was that this Third-Stage Zombie actually managed to attack the leader once.
This was when they all breathed a sigh of relief at Zheng Yifan's arrival, especially since they were dealing with Low-Level Zombies. Who could have imagined that there was a sneaky Fellow among the Zombies, trying to catch Zheng Yifan off guard?
Fortunately, Zheng Yifan reacted quickly; otherwise, if he had been injured, their hearts would have been even heavier.
However, this was already enough to ignite their anger, and the consequences were dire.
Flames began to appear, slowly gathering together. The power was purely that of fire-based Superpower, but all of it was directed towards Sun Yang and his son.
"Go for it!"
"Use it! You can use my power freely!"
One by one, the Superpowered Individuals smiled as they released their Superpowers. There was no offensive capability; it was simply a release of energy.
The teacher was clearly furious as well. Without caring about the source of the energy, he poured it all into Sun Hai and his son's bodies.
The two of them seemed to have transformed into the harbingers of destruction in this apocalyptic world. They were ready to use some fresh tricks; the moves they had grown accustomed to had lost much of their effectiveness. They needed something more shocking, something to showcase before the leader.
They could not let other Superpowered Individuals provide their Superpower without reciprocation.
Sun Hai and his son slowly raised their hands toward the sky, their faces filled with reverence. In their hearts, they thought of Zheng Yifan, this man who seemed almost godlike, calming their minds.
At that moment, the father and son appeared as one. A massive amount of fiery Vital Energy mixed with their fire-based Superpowers continued to rise and evaporate. Their strength gradually increased.
As the temperature rose, it brought forth destructive power. Gradually, waves of red flames emerged, so hot that those nearby could barely endure it.
But that didn't matter; as long as the two of them could withstand it, the power of the flames continued to condense.
It felt as if they were gathering explosive force.
However, Zheng Yifan sensed it. They were merely condensing the flames; they weren't compressing them to the limit before causing an explosion.
It was a new method of usage.
Gradually, Zheng Yifan saw the enormous Fireball.
Sun Hai and his son had gathered a Fireball that was over ten meters in radius after more than ten minutes of concentration, radiating heat in the air that was almost as intense as the sun itself.
However, this was already a situation where the heat had been extremely compressed; in reality, their temperature had definitely exceeded tens of thousands of degrees.
That was the strongest technique of Sun Hai and his son, and it would undoubtedly not be simple.
Slowly, the Fireball began to fly away, without any strange manifestations, just flying away in such an ordinary manner towards a point over ten miles ahead of Zheng Yifan. The surroundings were all plains with little obstruction, filled with Zombies. The level of the Zombies was also quite high.
It seemed there must be a Zombie Leader hiding there, but Zheng Yifan could not confirm it. The Zombie Leader could locate its Puppet Zombies, which mostly looked alike; he could only identify them one by one during battle.
However, Sun Hai and his son clearly did not think this way; they were determined to force the Zombie Leader out.
Only by doing so could they showcase their abilities.
Zheng Yifan was eager to see what their new technique would be like.
The power gradually emerged, and the massive Fireball shone in the air like the sun, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at it. Zheng Yifan watched silently.
He observed as the Fireball prepared to unleash its most powerful attack.
“Leader! Let us show you the might of our Fire Elemental Esper!” Sun Hai and his son said confidently. In that moment, they were almost in perfect sync, fully aware of each other's thoughts.
“Show me then. Let’s see if your efforts have been in vain!” Zheng Yifan replied, looking at the two ahead of him. They resembled the Fire Deity Zhenjun, incredibly formidable.
Zheng Yifan knew that after using this move, both of them would need to rest, even their teacher beside them would need a break.
That immense power and ingenious idea would surely trigger a thunderous explosion, unleashing devastating lethality.
“Kill! Thunderous Nine!” Sun Hai shouted loudly.
Beside him, Sun Yang was clearly not very cooperative. "Dad, seriously, this name you came up with is too weak. What is 'Thunderous Nine'? That's thunder! This is fire! Let's call it 'Nine Flames Annihilation' instead!"
Sun Yang was evidently not a naming expert either, but at least they had come up with a strategy to navigate through the Zombie hordes.
It was all rather haphazard; after all, it was just a name, so they could be reckless about it.
However, they clearly did not anticipate that from this day forward, the academy at the Hope Gathering Place would spread tales of their Superpower and include it in textbooks.
All the students mocked the ridiculous name, yet the names of the two boys were firmly etched in their minds.
"Kill!"
Flames began to emerge, gradually spreading outwards—power! It was the power of fire, but not the explosion Zheng Yifan had imagined. Instead, it unleashed a massive amount of Thermal Power in an instant, allowing the flames to consume the lives of the Zombies and eliminate them.
The giant fireball suddenly seemed to leak out, resembling a massive ball of flame that shot out beams of fire in a regular pattern. Then, an abundance of flames erupted. It was like a circle of fiery dragons spitting out flames with intense heat and rhythm.
As the flames propelled forward, the fireball began to spin slowly, reminiscent of fireworks in a Post-Apocalypse setting. The light emitted by the flames was breathtakingly beautiful and dazzling.
The brilliance was blinding; however, Zheng Yifan saw it—the powerful radiance! Strength! The immense power coursed through him.
That was a force only a Fourth-Stage Esper could unleash.
"Thud!" The continuous sound of bodies collapsing echoed around them; it was all the Fire Elemental Espers exhausting their strength to release their attacks.
They were naturally worn out, yet their eyes remained glued to that dazzling fireball, unwilling to look away even as their eyes stung painfully.
The powerful force was something every Fire Elemental Esper envied.
That power spread outwards, gradually spinning and transforming into fiery whips that lashed against the Zombies. It felt as if thousands of degrees of flame were slicing into them; the fierce blaze left no chance for the Zombies to survive.
Zheng Yifan stared in awe at this scene. Wasn't this just fireworks from a Post-Apocalypse or the real world?
Yet it was even more beautiful than fireworks; it carried the scent of death as it slaughtered the Zombies. Spinning, endlessly spinning, nine beams of flame invaded the lives of the Zombies, shattering their bodies until only Zombie Crystal s fell to the ground.
The power of the Zombie Crystal is formidable. It is also incredibly sturdy, being the most stable substance in the world; not even temperatures in the thousands of degrees can smash it.
It spins, continuously spinning. Flames that could only shoot out a few dozen meters now, under this rotation, can project thousands of meters, even tens of thousands of meters.
The farthest glow of flames has already reached Zheng Yifan's front. He tested the temperature of the flames and was immediately astonished. The flames, just a few dozen meters away, were already causing his ordinary clothes to begin burning. As he got closer, the heat forced Zheng Yifan's body to instinctively activate its defenses.
This was rare; it had been a long time since Zheng Yifan had experienced such a sensation.
Like a frenzied spinning top, the fireball spun rapidly, its light extending further and further, wild and chaotic!
The Flame Espers were completely driven mad; how they wished they could wield such immense power themselves.
A circular death zone with a radius of over a thousand meters became the only place on the battlefield devoid of Zombies. Any Zombie that entered the area attacked by the fireball would surely meet a gruesome end.
Zombies just a few dozen meters away even began to ignite spontaneously.
Powerful—this is what it means to be a Fire Elemental Esper. (To be continued)
