After Death, I Became a Superhuman-Chapter 72 – Whose is this?
Shadow Demon.
A creature from the abyss, a strange being unlike any species in the present world. Just looking at its body gives people a creepy feeling. The only known information about this creature is that it is highly aggressive and extremely dangerous.
In the past, Sky Eye has had encounters with this kind of creature. There have even been Shadow Demons in the containment units that have already been dealt with. However, the composition of their bodies is mostly made up of unknown elements from the present world, creations from the abyss that cannot be understood by the current scientific system.
Through a few rare encounters in the past, Sky Eye has come to realize that it is likely due to the influence of the unknown elements that make up their bodies that conventional weapons in the present world are greatly ineffective against these creatures. Regular individual equipment can hardly cause any damage to them, and the only ones who can effectively harm them are the Extraordinary Beings.
To give a practical example, attacking a Shadow Demon with flames and impact of the same temperature, if it were an incendiary bomb, it might just feel like taking a hot bath, but if it were an extraordinary ability, it might be able to deliver a critical hit.
These conclusions have been drawn through practice, and the scientific principles behind this phenomenon have not yet been discovered. Currently, it can only be attributed to the special nature of the elements that make up the Shadow Demon's body, elements that come from the abyss beyond the present world. Many studies also suggest that the source of all extraordinary powers is also something from the abyss.
From the perspective of "only magic can defeat magic," there may be some truth to it.
So, although there have been occasional incidents of Shadow Demons causing trouble in the present world in the past, they were generally quickly suppressed. The threat of a single Shadow Demon does not pose much trouble for the Extraordinary Agents of Sky Eye. The difficulty of the mission lies in controlling the damage and controlling the information.
But now...
...the entire Sky Eye organization may have never seen such a scene before.
A massive number of Shadow Demons, in groups, rushing out from the wall of flames. Missiles raining down did have some effect, but compared to their expected level of power, it was not much to speak of.
No one has ever seen such a large number of Shadow Demons gathering together. And it is obvious that this is just the beginning, with even more numbers continuously emerging from the mist, their deformed eyes filled with a thirst for slaughter.
"Open fire!"
The positions around them pulled the trigger against the first Shadow Demons that charged into the firing range. Explosive shells exploded among the group of monsters, turning the rain of bullets into a tsunami of metal. Landmines detonated one after another, causing those twisted bodies to fly in all directions.
But the results were still minimal. The Shadow Demons that were blown away immediately got up and the ones set on fire continued to advance, as if they couldn't feel any pain. The kinetic energy carried by the bullets made the front row of Shadow Demons tremble and retreat, but once the rain of bullets stopped, the Shadow Demons continued to advance as if nothing had happened.
Conventional ammunition only has a delaying effect, and the kinetic energy carried by the bullets can push back the enemy, but cannot cause any damage.
But that was the purpose to begin with.
A machine gun roared heavily, the barrel spinning, and the ammunition belt quickly reloading. The rain of bullets pushed forward with the roar, sweeping away the first row of Shadow Demons, causing their bodies to burst open.
This is the only extraordinary weapon brought in by the Longhe Branch that can cause damage to abyssal creatures. It was developed and designed by an extraordinary researcher from the Sky Eye headquarters. It is equipped with explosive heads that the researcher specially studied, which can effectively destroy the body tissues of Shadow Demons and achieve destructive damage.
The rest of the firepower is mainly for cover and interference, this machine gun is the real killer.
The mist continued to expand, and the giant shadows roared within the fog. The opening seemed to have expanded even more, and more Shadow Demons rushed out, followed by several giant shadows.
"It's the Cunning Beasts!" someone shouted, "Cunning Beasts have appeared!"
The huge creatures followed closely behind the group of Shadow Demons, standing at a height of three and a half meters, their heavy weight seemingly not burdening their movements at all. Their dark red skin seemed to be burning with flames, shining with an attention-grabbing light. Their fangs were sharper than lions, standing upright like two sharp knives.

"Fall back! Fall back!"
Cunning Beasts have a similar physique to Shadow Demons, but they are even tougher. Several Cunning Beasts rushed out in one breath, their momentum unstoppable.
The Sky Eye formation began to shrink, having to retreat and make space.
A slightly older-looking agent took a few steps forward. This elder's surname is Li, currently the only Rank B powerhouse in the Longhe region, and is respectfully called Teacher Li by the team.
"It's our turn now."
Teacher Li's face was calm, his arms extended, thunder swirling in his palms, and the energy transformed into two thunder whips in his hands, like dancing thunder dragons. He shouted loudly, the thunder whips swirling, and he charged fearlessly towards the group of Shadow Demons.
He flicked his wrist, and the whip in his right hand immediately wrapped around the ankle of a Shadow Demon. The Shadow Demon convulsed violently from the electric shock, immediately falling to the ground.
Teacher Li followed with a swing of his arm and a loud shout. The electrified Shadow Demon flew into the group of monsters along with the whip, knocking down several Shadow Demons in its path. The fallen Shadow Demon twitched on the ground, constantly emitting lightning.
"Let's go all out!"
Zhou Jiale shouted and charged forward as well. Several extraordinary beings also rushed into the group of Shadow Demons, fighting against the monsters according to the pre-rehearsed formation.
But there were just too many enemies.
The only Rank B Teacher Li was obviously the main force present. He unstoppably instantly killed several Shadow Demons and then faced a charging Cunning Beast. The red giant was like a burning demon, easily deflecting the whip Teacher Li had struck out, and then swiped its claws, knocking him down.Teacher Li swiftly retreated, only to feel a thunderous boom in front of him. A whirlwind was raging, and when he focused his gaze, a massive palm-shaped pit was left in front of him, a sight that was shocking to behold.
A sinking feeling settled in Teacher Li's heart. He knew that the Cunning Beast in front of him was a formidable opponent. He dared not be careless and retaliated with his whip. However, after two rounds, a dull gust of wind came from his side. Without a second thought, he rolled on the spot. Another thunderous boom left a huge pit beside him, and another massive creature stood next to him, baring its teeth and claws.
The second Cunning Beast.
Teacher Li was inwardly cursing his luck. Being surrounded by enemies was extremely dangerous. One Cunning Beast was already a tough opponent, let alone two at the same time, which was very dangerous even for him.
Moreover, he knew that the situation was unprecedented. The sudden opening of a gate from the abyss, and an entire abyss army pouring out, was unheard of. The local department could not possibly prepare in time, and as a rank B, he should be the backbone of the scene.
With two Cunning Beasts attacking him and other creatures in the Shadow Demon's team, not to mention more continuously emerging from the fog behind, Teacher Li knew that he might not end well today. He thought that he was already old, and his children were all adults. It wouldn't matter much if he lost his life in this mess, but if he fell too quickly and the reinforcements from the headquarters couldn't arrive in time, it would be a disaster.

He made up his mind. If he was destined to die today, he needed to buy enough time for the civilians in the nearby towns to evacuate to a safe distance. Then, even if he died, it would be a worthy death.
Teacher Li let out a long howl, wielding his two lightning whips, ready to bravely fight the two Cunning Beasts alone, when suddenly he heard a gust of wind whistling beside him.
A blurry afterimage, trailing black smoke and tail flames, with an icy blue arc light, whizzed past him.
Smack.
One of the Cunning Beasts was hit.
At first, Teacher Li didn't think much of it, assuming it was his own team responding. But he knew that grenades and rocket launchers had limited damage to Shadow Demons, and they would be even less effective against the Cunning Beast, which was stronger than the Shadow Demons. Even as a distraction, it was barely better than nothing.
But what happened next completely shattered Teacher Li's worldview.
He saw the missile explode, and an icy blue curtain spread rapidly, like a dreamy veil lightly draped over the Cunning Beast. The temperature within the restricted area plummeted, and frost visibly crawled over the entire body of the Cunning Beast. The massive creature's movements slowed down until it was completely still. A thick layer of ice sealed it, like an ice sculpture.
Teacher Li's eyes widened.
Was this... a Transcendent with ice element control?
And judging from the power of the rapid freezing, this person's rank might not be lower than his own!
But among the Sky Eye agents summoned to the scene, he was the only rank B, and none of his teammates, even those of lower ranks, had freezing abilities. Where did this powerful person come from to save the day?
In his surprise, Teacher Li took a quick glance and saw a full set of black armor, a metal belt around the waist, and a conspicuous fluorescent light flashing in the center. The armored arm was still in a raised position, with an empty launcher on the back of the hand. Clearly, the small missile that had been there had just been launched.
Teacher Li was momentarily stunned.
Exoskeleton armor? When did we get this kind of high-tech?
Wait a minute, so the thing that just created a freezing effect wasn't a Transcendent ability, but a missile?
After all, the missile explosion happened in a fraction of a second, and it took Teacher Li a moment to realize this.
Does this mean that this freezing control, which is comparable to a rank B Transcendent... is actually a Transcendent technology?
Wow!?
At this thought, his gaze towards the black armor became even more astonished.
Whose commander is this?
