Chapter 253 The fuse is lit, the wrath of the shadows
"Now!" the prophet's voice suddenly rang out.
Su Chen's willpower erupted instantly!
That fake "Reaper's Mark" transformed into an invisible stream of information that could not be detected by any device.
Under his control, it precisely penetrated the cracks in the wall.
During that brief moment of weakness in the shielding field, the mark was imprinted on the "Soul-Gathering Orchid" that was being transported to the handover room by the transport robot.
"Buzz—"
Su Chen felt a small portion of his mental energy being instantly drained away.
He grunted and withdrew his hand.
"The branding is complete," the prophet reported.
"The imprint signal is weak and extremely unstable, and is expected to dissipate on its own in one hour."
"But before that, any soul that had ever been deeply corrupted by the 'Reaper's Mark' could clearly sense it."
"That's enough." Su Chen leaned against the wall, calming his breathing.
They waited quietly.
About two minutes later, they heard the sound of a heavy metal door opening and closing in the distance.
B-3 handover room.
The shadow went inside.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
One second, two seconds, ten seconds...
The handover room was deathly silent.
Cold sweat had already seeped from Qianmian's forehead.
Did it fail?
Was the brand's signal too weak, or was the Shadow too cautious to check the auction items immediately?
Just as Su Chen also began to frown slightly.
A suppressed roar, like that of a wild beast from the depths of hell, suddenly came from the direction of the B-3 handover room!
The voice was filled with endless pain, anger, and disbelief!
"trap--"
Those two words didn't travel through the air; they were a direct mental roar that shook the entire passageway, causing it to buzz!
Immediately afterwards, Su Chen's "Cosmic Barrage Observation Channel" was completely flooded with a series of crazy, blood-red barrages!
[It's a trap!! This Soul-Gathering Orchid has the Harvester's Mark on it! They did it! Those bastards from the Star-Eating Cult did it!!]
They want to re-mark me! They want to take me back! Do they think I'm still that helpless piece of trash they used to be?!
Kill! Kill! Kill them! I'm going to kill you all!!
boom--!!!
With a deafening roar, the door to the B-3 handover room, made of ultra-high-strength alloy, was blasted away from the inside by a terrifying force!
A figure shrouded in endless black shadows burst forth like a demon god released from its gates.
His eyes had turned pure blood red, and his body was surrounded by a visible black storm of resentment and killing intent.
He completely lost control.
"You Star-Eating Cult scum! Come out and face your death!!"
The shadowy roar echoed throughout the entire auction hall.
Meanwhile, in the VIP lounge at the other end of the venue.
The Star Eater Cult squad, disguised as mining merchants, was leisurely sipping their wine, waiting for the Vickers Corporation to deliver the "Key to the Tranquil Universe" to their doorstep.
Upon hearing this roar that named names, the squad leader, a middle-aged man who looked like a refined scholar, frowned.
"Shadowbringer? What's he doing here? And how dare he be so arrogant?"
Before he could give the order, a terrifying pressure mixed with the aura of death and destruction descended upon him!
The shadowy figure, like a ghost or a phantom, appeared before them in an instant!
"We've found you!"
The Shadow's strength is far greater than Su Chen had anticipated!
He clearly had some new adventures during the time he was being hunted.
He formed his five fingers into claws, and countless sharp blades made of pure shadow energy swept towards the leader of the Star Devouring Cult squad!
The leader's expression changed drastically. He couldn't understand how this stray dog, whom they had hunted down for several star fields, dared to attack them first!
In a hasty move, a dark red law shield was erected.
"Snap!"
The shield lasted for less than a second before being torn to shreds by the raging shadow blades!
The leader coughed up a mouthful of black blood and flew backward, crashing violently into the wall of the lounge!
"Enemy attack!!"
The remaining members of the Star Eater Cult were both shocked and enraged, and they unleashed their powerful abilities to fight the completely berserk Shadow!
In an instant, the entire high-end, luxurious relics exchange venue was transformed into a destructive battlefield filled with death energy and shadow storms!
Looking at the devastating scene on the surveillance footage, Su Chen's face revealed a knowing smile.
"Alright, the main characters have started fighting."
He turned to the dumbfounded Thousand Faces and said:
"Now, it's our turn, the 'spectators,' to go backstage and pick up some souvenirs."
