My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 317: Eerie Weeping

The anomaly in the sky with black wings had been intentionally or unintentionally paying attention to the rooftop’s position ever since it appeared.

To be precise, it was paying attention to Lu Bai standing on the rooftop.

It naturally knew that the human before it was very off, possessing power that was even more anomalous than an anomaly.

Originally, anomalies destroying humanity faced no pressure at all; the reason humanity could still survive was mainly because the anomalies hadn’t done so.

But ever since this human named Lu Bai appeared, their anomalous actions had frequently met with accidents, and quite a few anomalies had even directly fallen at Lu Bai’s hands.

This situation was very wrong.

To prevent the situation from continuing to spiral out of control, this strange human had to be resolved.

“Do I look like something to you?”

The black-winged anomaly spoke human words, lifting its tiptoes toward Lu Bai’s direction.

The next second, an astonishing scene occurred.

When its lifted tiptoes landed, its figure had already arrived less than a meter in front of Lu Bai.

The entire process was like teleportation, so abrupt that it caught people off guard.

Faced with this situation, not only did the people around gasp in shock, but even Lu Bai himself raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“You’ve got something there.”

Hearing this, the black-winged anomaly revealed a smile.

It was a smile of undisguised confidence.

Immediately after, it swiftly struck.

Its hand formed into claws, grabbing toward Lu Bai’s neck.

Just like a farmer grabbing the poultry it raised.

This posture exuded an unbearable arrogance.

Seeing this, Lu Bai’s face still bore an innocuous, friendly smile. He made no excessive movements, merely tilting his head with interest, as if very curious about what it intended to do.

Seeing Lu Bai’s reaction like this, the black-winged anomaly subconsciously felt a bit of unease.

But with the arrow on the string, there was no reason to withdraw at the last moment.

Ultimately not believing a human could threaten it, its hand finally clamped onto Lu Bai’s neck.

However, the next instant,

Zheng~

A crisp blade unsheathing sound rang out, followed closely by a flash of blade light.

At this moment, the black-winged anomaly only then noticed that in Lu Bai’s hand, unbeknownst at some point, there was a Japanese katana with a white hilt.

Ka-da!

Lu Bai retreated half a step, sheathing the blade.

“This thing is called the Enma Blade; the ability it contains is ‘separation’.”

With that, he casually tossed the Enma Blade to the ground, where the katana immediately turned into light spots and disappeared.

He then scratched at his own neck, removing the arm clamped there and weighing it in his hand.

Only then did the black-winged anomaly feel the pain from its arm. Its face showed shock as it quickly put distance between itself and Lu Bai.

“Pfft~”

Some staff member couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.

The people who had watched the entire process up close all felt a strong sense of astonishment.

This black-winged anomaly had made such a grand entrance upon appearing, and the power it displayed was so terrifying.

No matter how one looked at it, it should have been overwhelming everything without restraint to match people’s expectations.

Yet reality was that right after clashing, it was effortlessly sliced off an arm by Lu Bai, making it seem increasingly comically out of place the more one watched.

“Human, you do have some means.”

Having an arm severed on the spot, its elegant posture clearly couldn’t be maintained. Its tone revealed very human-like anger: “Unfortunately, the power of anomalies is unimaginably strong for you.”

Its back slightly hunched, like some kind of exertion pose.

“Hah!”

With its angry roar, its right arm, which had been severed by the Enma Blade, regrew.

It moved its newborn arm a bit, not continuing its attack, but instead extending its index finger and pointing upward to the sky.

As it made this gesture, the heavy pressure permeating the space at all times quietly disappeared.

But this didn’t mean it had weakened; rather, it was more like condensing its power.

Soon, the pair of black wings on its back suddenly spread wide, kicking up a storm of flying sand and stones.

The ferocious eyeball in the sky had, unbeknownst at some point, turned its angle, staring fixedly at the rooftop’s position.

If someone were flying a helicopter over the Containment Center at this moment, they could easily notice that the anomalies throughout the Containment Center seemed stimulated by some special power, going berserk and massacring the civilians before them.

Not only that.

The black-winged anomaly conjured a damaged mirror with cloud patterns out of the void before itself like a magician.

It gripped the mirror in its hand and smashed it forcefully to the ground.

Ka-cha~

Cracks appeared on the mirror surface.

In an instant, a wave of spatial overlap, twilight boundary devouring living beings spread like a tide.

Countless black mists rushed out from the cracks in the mirror surface, landing in various areas of the Containment Center.

Each black mist ultimately coalesced into an anomaly.

Various kinds of anomalies, a considerable portion of which weren’t even in the official sequence information.

“Aaaah!!!”

Screams and terrified cries rang out incessantly.

Some had their heads bitten off, a group were set ablaze like straw, many were directly scared into madness, hysterically shouting as if to scream their throats raw.

Some were even instantly smashed into pulp by the incomprehensible power of anomalies, such that even the most professional mortician couldn’t reassemble the pile of fragments into their original form.

“How about it? Heartbreaking, right?”

The black-winged anomaly waved its hand, gesturing to display these scenes: “This is revenge for your previous resistance.”

Lu Bai’s complexion flushed red, veins bulging on his neck, angrily roaring: “Bastard! No! If you’ve got something, come at me!”

However, before the black-winged anomaly could show a pleased expression, Lu Bai’s intense angry look instantly subsided, and one could even vaguely see a hint of boredom in his gaze.

“I gave you some emotional value in return, not bad, huh?”

Lu Bai chuckled and twisted his neck, each hand gripping a long blade.

His bizarre reaction made the black-winged anomaly pause for a moment, then force a cold laugh: “I’ll see how long you can keep talking tough.”

Lu Bai offered no explanation, instead raising both hands, aiming them in two directions, then flicking his wrists.

Deep blue blade storms appeared in the two directions his blades were aimed, enveloping an octopus-shaped anomaly and an old woman with white hair dragging on the ground, both sliced into countless fragments at the same time.

The black-winged anomaly thought Lu Bai would continue attacking, but unexpectedly, Lu Bai simply let both hands drop again.

He looked at the black-winged anomaly with amusement, saying in a voice only it could hear: “See, I could save people anytime, but I didn’t. Guess why?”
