Superhumans of the Dome City

Time was pressing, and the incident happened suddenly; the two had not made a detailed plan in advance, but had simply divided the basic tasks.

Alice was responsible for distracting the opponent, while Gongsun Ce, who basically needn't worry about getting hurt due to his superpower, tried his best to figure out the limits of the opponent's abilities, aiming to locate Tierlos K's true body together.

This was supposed to be an operation completed jointly by the two, but unfortunately, human calculations fell short of divine reckoning, and the appearance of Agent White disrupted all arrangements. Alice had no choice but to first take the agent for treatment, leaving Gongsun Ce to face the disassociated demon body on his own. Fortunately, as a superpower user with extensive combat experience, he saw through the opponent's tactics after only a few moves.

"Let's hear it, Miss Alice, where do you think the true body of the disassociated demon is?"

As if testing his partner, Gongsun Ce posed the above question.

Alice raised a finger and began to explain her thoughts, "I've found it strange since I've fought him before... You must have seen that mouth that looks like a biologically mutated product too, right?"

Tierlos' sardonic flesh-and-blood lips grew an ugly ear on the side.

"The communication tool he molded serves both to listen and to speak," Gongsun Ce nodded in agreement, "But there are no eyes on that mouth."

Tierlos could freely manipulate his own body, and from the shape of those flesh masses, one could guess that he probably didn't even need the organs of a normal person—anymore perhaps because of the limitations of his Divine Communication Skill, this man still needed tangible "organs" for communication. He needed a mouth to speak, an ear to listen, but the most important organ for communication was not in front of them.

"How is Tierlos K monitoring our actions? That's the strange part. If he could really grasp our every move precisely, he should have launched an attack the moment I questioned the agent."

But that wasn't the case. From the moment Alice spoke to the moment the blood spurs shot out, two to three sentences had elapsed. This meant that Tierlos wasn't launching attacks based on linguistic slips. He launched the attack at the moment White reached out his hand...

That was a clear, visible action.

"This led me to think about sight, and then, about the pupils. Quite logical."

Snap! The Hunter snapped his fingers happily, "Placing the listening flesh too close might alert us, so at that time, Tierlos could only rely on visible actions to time his strike. Where did he see this from?"

Alice Adar pointed to the sky, "Up there, of course! Tierlos has laid out a surveillance network in the air, and the core of that network is his true body. Only one place in this dock area could accommodate such a high viewpoint and ensure safety... Being able to accurately see our actions from such a high place also indicates he must have specially enhanced his vision."

This also could explain why Gongsun Ce was attacked the moment he took flight. Tierlos had clearly prepared ahead in the air, the strike that came from above was due to this.

Gongsun Ce absentmindedly adjusted his glasses, "I'm quite envious."

"What are you envious of? Can't the technology of the Sky City cure even myopia?"

"I don't have the guts for that surgery, who knows if I might go blind in ten or twenty years."

As Gongsun Ce chatted with his friend, he kept surveying the surroundings.

From the moment he used Shadow Orchid to teleport, the disgusting flesh mud had not appeared in front of them again. This was clearly related to the arrows in Alice's hands. If Tierlos split again, he would be weakened to death by the hunter's arrows one by one. Judging from the unsettling silence, Tierlos was preparing to try a different method to determine the victor.

As the two walked out of the area dense with containers, the space in front of them opened up. In the center of the dock area, there were several huge devices with sturdy steel frames and red paint, supported by four pillars on which sat platforms capable of lifting tens of tons of cargo with telescopic mechanical arms. These machines, commonly known as shore bridges, could be seen at each dock.

After exiting the dense container maze, they could finally observe carefully. Alice handed over a small telescope, "Take a look at the sky?"

Gongsun Ce took the telescope and looked up.

The setting sun stained the sky a shade of orange-red. High, high above in the sky, extremely thin red lines hidden in the sunset formed a sinister "net." This network, maintained by countless bloodshot eyeballs, all turned their gaze towards Gongsun Ce the moment he looked up, concentrating a dangerous light in the menacing pupils!

"Miss Alice, don't move."

The moment Gongsun Ce detected him, Tierlos decisively abandoned the surveillance network he had painstakingly set up. He condensed his blood into long spears and exploded his eyeballs to provide propulsion. Thus, numerous red lights fell from the sky, the ferocity of the onslaught like a torrential rainstorm, targeting only this narrow area in an attempt to annihilate them both!

Alice immediately grabbed her companion's sleeve, ready to flee, but the young man raised his hand voluntarily: "Steady."

A hemispherical white barrier formed out of thin air, firmly protecting the two from the blood rain. No blood spur could penetrate this white substance, and all attacks were repelled, turning into blood water!
