Chapter Twelve: Chaos Begins
Walked out of the basement that hadn't left for several days, I really didn't expect it to take nearly three days to make a Deadpool, but the harvest was still great.
After taking a look at the wrist wheel on his wrist, which was filled with an unusual aura, Gallo's mood improved a lot. It wasn't just because of the success of the puppet alchemy, but more importantly, he had confirmed the possibility of saving Yueliang in this world. The difference in materials and the difference from Earth were not big, and compared to the metal quality produced in the seriously polluted environment on Earth, the metal here was not only of high quality, but also possessed some superior elements.
Karlo was satisfied, but he wasn't clear that in these few days, the city had already begun to change. Because Henk bought the Fire Tiger Ring, this life magic tool's existence could absolutely break the current balance of power. To know, in Karlo's territory, the balance of power wasn't just about a lord's money and authority, but also his grasp on combat strength.
The three lords originally had balanced combat power, but the injury of the Tiger King under Henk's command still affected him, so he spent a lot of money to buy the Fire Tiger Ring, which was equivalent to adding a magician by his side, and the balance of strength changed again.
However, Henk's massive consumption of usage points would cause him to shrink economically during this period. If given time, he would likely recover immediately and with the possession of the Life Magic Tool, his strength would undoubtedly be even stronger than before.
So for now, Hank must be overthrown, but the other two forces are clearly impossible to cooperate with each other, and it is absolutely impossible to trust each other in Garter. However, the situation cannot be stalled, so the two forces secretly negotiated and discussed a barely acceptable plan.
Two forces simultaneously took action and began to encroach on Hank's sphere of influence, which caused him a great deal of trouble for the time being.
"Mr. Heng, in the past three days, we've been swallowed up by Lord Luo and the Shadow, taking over about twelve shops nearby, with losses of around 4,000 points. Additionally, twenty-three of our subordinates were injured, two of whom are severely wounded with fractures, while the others are lightly injured. Fortunately, none of our main combat personnel were hurt."
"That's enough, you can go down now." Henk's face looked very unsightly. "Hmph, Robi, Shadow, do you think I would suffer losses after spending so much money? That little loss I can still accept, but since you've made your move, then I won't be polite either."
After sitting down, Henk thought for a moment "Torre."
"Yes, young master." A man appeared behind him, nearly forty years old. He was one of the retainers who had rescued Henk back then. Of those who followed Henk at that time, only Thor remained after ten years.
"Is there anything going on?"
"Yes, that woman entered Galwater four days ago. There's no other intelligence on her, and she hasn't left her house in the past three days."
"Henke curiously said, 'No intelligence at all? Then which room is hers?'"
"It was the one sold at the auction three days ago."
"Oh, I see. Alright, you go bring her here. I believe her power is more than this. With her, our strength will definitely increase a lot."
Thor frowned "So, which method? Soft or hard?"
"Hmph, is it that much trouble to deal with a woman? And according to the intel, she's not even 20 years old yet, got it?" Henk sneered, his personality was just like that, self-centered.
"Yes." Thor nodded, but he knew that if he were to make a rough estimate, it would be terrible. The Tiger King's injuries were severe, and even he himself had seen them before. It would be difficult for him to recover, let alone others.
However, orders are still orders, and Torre still headed towards Gallo's house. Henk was right to some extent, Gallo's strength was indeed very strong, as long as she was there, they would definitely become the boss of the entire Kartel.
Unfortunately, Gallo has now left the house and gone out for a walk. On the contrary, Torre encountered some obstacles in Gallo's house.
Garo dislikes being disturbed, so he set up many traps around his house.
He had just touched the door handle when a violent lightning strike made his whole body numb, and he was suddenly shocked open, with his right hand turning black.
"Ah, what's going on?" Torre barely got up, fortunately, his hand was not disabled, thanks to his speed, he had spread the fighting energy all over his hand, otherwise this lightning strike would have crippled him.
"Does it feel good?" Suddenly, a pleasant voice came over, and Thor hastily turned around. Behind him, a masked woman stood elegantly in front of him. Although he couldn't see her face, the aura she gave off was enough to make Thor exclaim in admiration - indeed, she was a beauty.
Tor stood up, "I'm here on behalf of Mr. Henke, who is very sincere and hopes you can lend him a helping hand. Of course, when it comes to compensation, he won't be stingy at all. As long as he can help him become the head of Galt City, Miss Gallo, you can have whatever you want."
"Hmph, I knew it." Galo sighed "I'm well aware of the chaos in Gartel, this place is just a temporary residence for me, I won't interfere with either side's sphere of influence because it doesn't benefit me. On the contrary, as long as the current balance is maintained, I can quietly do what I want to do." Pointing at Tor "I think I've made myself clear, now you leave, I don't want to see blood in my new home."
Toll's face was very unsightly, extremely unsightly. He had already understood that this girl didn't care about the outside world at all. This kind of obsession was indeed only possessed by those magicians who were fully passionate and crazy about research. Her thoughts were already very clear: to maintain a balance between three aspects through mutual suppression and coordination until she left Galwenta, and if necessary, she would even lend a hand to help the weaker side turn the situation around.
"Your idea is too simple, since you injured the Tiger King, the balance has already disappeared. The three major forces in the city have begun to become chaotic and the final battle will start soon. In that case, we can't possibly allow any disobedient teams or individuals. If there are traitors, our first priority is to destroy them, absolutely not allowing them to exist and undermine our position." Tor gritted his teeth, laying out the situation. He understood very clearly that Mr. Henk's victory required this girl.
"That's enough. What happens to Jiuzhou City is none of my concern, I never belonged here in the first place... not even this world. If you still don't understand, I won't mind if a corpse appears here."
"Don't think that just because you defeated the Tiger King, you can do as you please in Garen Territory. The Tiger King was only the weakest under Lord Hengke's command. Now, even if I have to use brute force, I'll take you away." Toru's hands shook, and a pale blue glow emanated from his body, revealing that he was a six-star Dou Qi warrior with wind attributes.
"A 6th level strongman, huh? Maybe I was a bit intimidated before, but now, as my test subject, it's perfect. " Gallo spread his hands wide, and his ten fingers moved quickly for a moment. At the same time, from the ground, a faint yellow energy that was almost invisible rose up and enveloped Gallo's entire body. This was a method he had come up with because he couldn't grasp the concept of aura, which is equivalent to strength and speed enhancement. In this way, when fighting against an aura-strong opponent, he would need other powers."
Elemental Alchemy Battle Technique, Earth Enhancement.
Toru used his fighting spirit after that, and his speed increased a lot. He charged straight over with one punch towards Garo. Although it wasn't an enhanced attack like fire-type, the power of this punch was quite impressive thanks to the help of the wind's speed. However, Garo didn't dodge either, he also raised his right hand for a straight punch. He wanted to try and see just how strong his elemental alchemy battle technique really was.
Boom, both of them retreated several steps at the same time. Although Gallo's right hand was slightly painful and he retreated one more step, there was a satisfied smile on his face that was covered.
In contrast, Tor was shocked. He clearly felt that the opponent had not used aura, but how could this be? This completely overturned his understanding.
After the power of the earth, it was the wind, and Garo's speed increased a lot. At the same time, countless fireballs shot out, completely trapping Thor.
"Abominable!" Although these fire-based attacks couldn't deal a fatal blow to Thor, being hit by so many elemental forces left him momentarily unable to counterattack. As he swung his fists to knock away one fireball after another, he struggled to lock onto Garo's position.
"Found it!" Taking advantage of a gap, Toru dodged several fireballs and suddenly accelerated towards Gallo. Gallo looked at Toru, his hand slightly moving, about to attack him. Just as a joyful expression appeared on Toru's face, a huge lightning ball suddenly appeared in front of him. In great surprise, he hastily raised both hands, gathering all his fighting spirit to block it in front of him.
The moment his hands made contact with the orb, an incredibly powerful bolt of lightning coursed through his entire body, causing unbearable pain and numbness. Then, the orb exploded violently, sending Thor flying.
He fell heavily to the ground and didn't completely get rid of all his momentum, still rolling on the ground for several rounds before stopping.
Karlo was very satisfied, the effect of Elemental Alchemy Battle Technique was really good. This world was full of elemental power, it could be said that no matter where he was, the elements there were his weapons, and the attack just now was absolutely powerful.
Elemental Alchemy Battle Technique, Exploding Thunderbolt.
Torre struggled to get up, but his appearance was not to be complimented. His clothes were tattered and his hair stood on end, making him look quite comical. His hands hung limply by his sides, and it was clear that he had no way of fighting back anymore.
"......You can go." Just as he thought he was doomed for sure, but very suddenly, Gallo surprisingly let him off!
"Go back and tell that old man Henk, bring him what I've said. Got it? If you come to disturb me again next time, I'll kill you." The implicit killing intent made Tor very clear that the other party was serious about what he said and did.
He gritted his teeth, he was badly hurt now and couldn't fight anymore, so he quickly turned around and ran away. Gallo didn't stop him, after all, he no longer posed any threat to himself.
"Huff...". His entire body's energy was depleted, and with the pain and numbness from the lightning, Tor didn't get far before he started feeling exhausted. He leaned against a wall, just wanting to rest for a bit, when suddenly, an icy sensation spread from his throat, and then all he saw was a massive amount of blood spraying out, and the source of the bleeding was none other than his own neck.
"No..." Life slowly left his body, his eyes wide open, he couldn't believe all this, but his body had no strength left, could only weakly collapse to the ground, consciousness also slowly disappearing.
A figure emerged behind him. "I didn't expect it, but I was able to catch such a big fish. Tor, the strong one next to Henk, was killed by me like this. It's really not bad."
"What a pity, you ruined my plan." Before he knew it, Gallo suddenly appeared and saw the figure turning around in panic. "You must be the assassin squad under Shadow. Although Tor is seriously injured, it's not easy to kill him so easily. So, you're also one of the more formidable ones under Shadow, right?" Gallo stepped forward a few steps and said.
"Right, killing Tor may have been a bit lucky for him, but that's enough to make me stand out. As long as I take you away now, heh heh, it looks like my time to get rich is coming soon." The figure flipped his hand and pulled out two daggers "Little beauty, come with me obediently, otherwise, if your pretty little face gets hurt, that wouldn't be good, would it?"
"I let Tor go, just so I wouldn't see any changes in the city's power structure, and could quietly do my experiments. But you're looking for trouble, and that means I'll have to kill you if I want a few more days of peace." Gallo gently reached up and pulled down his mask, revealing his perfectly chiseled face for the first time in Karwelter City.
The figure saw Galona's shocking appearance and couldn't help but take a cold breath. Galona slowly raised her right hand, and the skull-shaped wrist wheel emitted a faint black glow. "There is no one else around here, you can die quietly."
The other party felt something was off. The space around them seemed to freeze in an instant, turning into a silent world without sound or breath. Gallo raised his right hand and shouted "Dead Servant!"
A space-time distortion occurred, and then the terrifying figure of Deadpool appeared in front of this silhouette. The four sharp blades had already sealed his fate.
"Ahh!!!" A mournful and piercing cry, signifying not only his death but also the true beginning of chaos for Galatoire.
