My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 320: Return

Anomalies have descended upon this world for over two years.

Over such a long time, many people have formed a habit and will not choose to travel at night.

Moreover, even if the strongest anomaly is resolved, there are still quite a few lone anomalies wandering around.

Even if many people want to celebrate through the night, they have to endure it and not unluckily die in the last moment before dawn arrives.

One night passed quickly.

That night, people did not go out, but instead fiercely discussed online, with quite a few staying up all night.

Everyone agreed that thoroughly clearing anomalies would still take time, but this would not affect Lu Bai’s image as the Guardian God in people’s hearts.

Compared to the dim and lightless path ahead, the hopeful future brought by the Guardian God was already enough to be etched in their hearts.

People were very patient, quietly waiting.

Waiting for Lu Bai, or the officials to step forward and issue an announcement, telling them that from now on they no longer had to worry about anomalies.

But no one expected this announcement to come so soon.

……

Rewind time by two hours.

Lu Bai sat cross-legged in the air, staring fixedly at the ferocious eyeball just a few meters away from him.

But if observed carefully, one would find that the focus of his pupils was not on this ferocious eyeball.

He was actually looking at the system panel in front of his retina, silently counting the time.

【00:00:02】

【00:00:01】

As the countdown on the interface ticked down second by second, gradually approaching zero.

【Ding!】

【Successfully obtained current Deathmatch Arena node.】

【Double Points Reward loaded.】

【Current Points: 116, Current Rank 1/37】

There were no disturbances during this period.

After he displayed the power he possessed, no foolhardy Death Fighter would try to snatch the “node” from his hands.

Lu Bai stretched lazily, seemingly casually asking: “Still no anomalies coming?”

Clearly, the anomaly in front of him was just an eyeball, but upon hearing Lu Bai’s inquiry, one could feel obvious panic emotion from this eyeball.

The ferocious eyeball shuddered very human-like a few times before conveying its meaning through intent.

This communication method avoided nitpicking words and would not produce any misunderstandings.

“You mean, the anomalies don’t dare to see me alone, so they decided to gather together and come all at once?”

Lu Bai nodded thoughtfully: “Are they planning to band together to deal with me?”

The ferocious eyeball, larger than an adult, surprisingly shook left and right very flexibly, just like shaking its head.

Lu Bai remained seated cross-legged, arms crossed, left index finger continuously tapping his arm.

He stayed silent until the ferocious eyeball shuddered crazily, then spoke.

“No problem, it doesn’t matter.”

Before he finished speaking, from the southwest direction of the Containment Center, where the city that people evacuated from was located, a clear movement suddenly came.

Looking out, figures both large and small appeared in the sky and on the ground.

Among them were no shortage of bizarre existences.

Normal human shapes actually seemed out of place among this group of figures.

Seeing this scene, calling it a parade of a hundred ghosts would be too understated; the quantity of anomalies was far more than a hundred.

Lu Bai nodded satisfied.

He could clearly feel that these anomalies were trying hard to restrain their yin energy, not releasing it unconsciously.

From this point, it was also evident that these anomalies’ attitude of yielding.

But this was good too; it saved Lu Bai effort.

He gestured for the ferocious eyeball to follow him over.

Below was the Containment Center, with still hundreds of thousands of people inside; he definitely could not let so many anomalies contact the civilians.

Minister Zhang and some high-level officials had not yet left the Containment Center; with the anomalies making such a big show, they naturally observed it early.

Although there was still some unease, after seeing Lu Bai fly towards these anomalies, their tense mood immediately relaxed by more than half.

Lu Bai’s consistent performance had given them sufficient confidence.

And the fact was indeed so; there was no need to worry.

The scene did not erupt into fighting as they imagined; instead, they saw Lu Bai block in front of the anomaly group and take out an ancient mirror.

Then, whichever anomaly the mirror faced, that anomaly turned into a mass of black mist and was absorbed into the mirror.

This process was extremely rapid.

Soon, hundreds of anomalies disappeared one after another, leaving only a few stragglers.

Finally, led by the ferocious eyeball, the remaining few anomalies also turned into a mass of black mist and drilled into this mirror.

Minister Zhang and the others quietly watched the entire process, all somewhat dumbfounded, but a guess that excited them suddenly surged in their minds.

It did not let them guess for too long.

Lu Bai flew over holding this mirror, his light tone as if saying he wanted to eat fried chicken later.

“You won’t have to worry about anomalies anymore.”

The reason he could say this so confidently was that after landing, he received the Deathmatch System’s prompt sound.

【Ding!】

【Target Mission One: Ensure humanity’s continuation (Completed)】

【This Deathmatch Duel will close in thirty seconds. Please all Death Fighters stay in place and do not move.】

Minister Zhang’s face lit up with joy, somewhat incredulously wanting to confirm again: “Your meaning is?”

“Exactly the literal meaning.”

While speaking, Lu Bai handed over the Cloud Mirror in his hand: “All the anomalies are inside here; you must keep it safe.”

Minister Zhang was stunned for a moment: “Master Lu, it’s fine for you to keep this thing; we all trust you.”

The high-level officials nearby immediately chimed in agreement.

After all, this was equivalent to a passage; handing such a thing to someone else for safekeeping would not reassure others.

Lu Bai shook his head, figuring the thirty seconds were about up, and conveniently pasted a few yellow talismans on the mirror surface.

“I won’t stay here any longer; everyone, until we meet again.”

Before his words finished, the next second, he completely disappeared from this world.

If not for Minister Zhang still holding a Cloud Mirror in his hands, it would even make people suspect that what just happened was an illusion.

The people present looked at each other, all clearly caught off guard.

Minister Zhang was dazed for a long time before coming back to his senses, somewhat confusedly saying: “Anyway, let’s issue the announcement first.”

……
