Those who achieve great things must not be constrained by others.

Capturing Xia Heng and the others was actually an order from a high-ranking member of the Emperor Penguin. They themselves wouldn't deign to do such things, thinking it beneath them.

You have to know, even the Tiger Whale doesn't personally do this kind of dirty work; they have Fujihara Tomohiro handle it instead...

That's why neither Adam nor the Eagle King said anything like 'your partner is in my hands' at the moment, but rather had the general of the Holy War Army speak for them.

Who made him the weakest among the four big bosses?

And even he only said things like 'your friends are waiting for you in the sky' or 'some cyborgs have been melted into iron', speaking in such vague terms.

No one expected that these hostages would truly matter so much to Gao Xin.

He stated that for every one person who died, he would take their life in exchange, which meant Gao Xin was truly threatened.

"Enough nonsense, are you coming up or not! Hiding in the sea, what's that about?" the Holy War Army general urged.

Gao Xin ignored him, only staring at Adam: "Release the hostages first, I promise you, I will not use the Sea God Transformation in this battle."

"We'll fight fair and square, with real weapons and real battle."

The Holy War Army general shouted: "You just one sentence and you want us to..."

Adam waved his hand directly: "Release them."

"Huh?" The general of the Holy War Army was stunned, just like that?

"What if after releasing them, Gao Xin fights and then slips back into the sea?"

Adam said calmly: "He won't, Tai Sui has that kind of credibility."

The Holy War Army general was at a loss for words, not knowing how to refute.

Credibility, generally speaking, is a very illusory thing, rarely trusted at their level.

Only those of an extremely high level have words that carry weight, like Milan and Caesar, who are all people who do what they say.

And Tai Sui undoubtedly has that credibility too.

Even the enemy had to acknowledge this point.

In an instant, four True Dragons and two Main Angels descended from the sky.

They restrained Xia Heng, Zi Chen, the Heaven Stealer, Xing Shiping and others, enveloping them in an Orange Force Field.

It's as if they were trapped in individual orange bubbles, which couldn't be smashed open no matter how hard they knocked.

The difference was too great, they were as helpless as baby elephants, with no power to resist in the hands of the True Dragons.

"Wow! Tai Sui! Heard you took off!" Xia Heng, trapped in a cage, was still cheerful.

The others, however, were dispirited, their bodies bloodied and flesh mangled, their machines in ruins.

They had obviously suffered a lot of torture but were much stronger than they were since they parted last time, with many new weapons and mechanical modifications noticeable on them.

"Buzz!"

The bubbles opened, and everyone flew down, jets spraying from under their feet, rushing toward Gao Xin.

Gao Xin frowned slightly, using energy to support Xia Heng, Zi Chen, and the others, and said to Adam: "Please dismantle the nuclear devices inside them, thank you."

These words even stunned Adam for a moment.

The Holy War Army general, however, looked strange: "How the hell did you know?"

Gao Xin rolled his eyes, as he had foreseen it.

These people were ready to release the hostages but just to be safe, had installed miniature nukes inside Xia Heng and the others.

The Holy War Army general could detonate any of them at any crucial moment, whether to deal with Gao Xin or to distract him, it was a means.

Unfortunately, Gao Xin saw right through it: "If you're going to release them, do it cleanly, don't play tricks."

The Holy War Army general was a bit embarrassed: "What? There's nothing like that, the people have been released, don't look for excuses..."

Xia Heng laughed: "Does he even need to take action? He thinks I don't know?"

Saying this, he fiddled with his bosom, quickly taking out a miniature nuclear bomb.

"Take this from me!"

Xia Heng flung it towards the Holy War Army general, his hand really detaching, flying away, shooting at high speed, carrying the nuke!

"Blow it up for me!"

"Boom!"

About a million tons of TNT equivalent nuclear explosion instantly engulfed the Holy War Army general.

Even though most of the power was dissolved by a strong force field, the general was still injured from such a close distance, his hand obliterated.

"Fuck..."

Meanwhile, Xia Heng and the others were also in a bad state, the blast waves extremely terrifying.

Zi Chen cursed in anger: "Xia Heng, you idiot!"

Everyone instantly coughed up blood; the high energy, even if just brushed past them, almost annihilated them.

But fortunately, Gao Xin's super-distant force field immediately protected them.

"Stop with the antics... take all the nukes out of everyone's bodies and then get as far away from here as possible."

Gao Xin felt a bit of a headache, unable to predict Xia Heng's actions, and this guy disrupted prophetic information particularly strongly. Could it be that the divine nature of madness had even greater influence?

But he did understand human speech, and Xia Heng quickly removed the nukes from everyone's bodies.

Gao Xin waved his hand, storing them all in the Cyberna Ring.

"Such a big scene, I want to watch!" Everyone obediently descended, except Xia Heng, who still hovered in the air, looking excited.

Gao Xin glared at him: "Not you! If you want to watch a fight, go to the Death Hills!"

"My battle with Adam, I might even die, so don't obstruct things in the sky."

He deliberately exaggerated; only then did Xia Heng relent, pouting as he retreated.

Simultaneously, Gao Xin rose into the air, utilizing anti-gravity, ascending straight to the high clouds, approaching the Sky Island.

Adam and the others followed, and soon everyone reached below the Sky Island.

Gao Xin surveyed all around, with Adam, the Eagle King, Cain, Lilith, the Holy War Army general, five Quasi-Dragon Kings surrounding him.

They all had massive bodies, like giant gods.

In comparison, Gao Xin, only a little more than a hundred meters, sitting cross-legged on the throne, seemed somewhat small.

"Hmm?"

Gao Xin suddenly frowned, staring at Adam, feeling something.

He then closed his eyes and opened them again, surprisingly seeing a faint Divine Light Column.

"You are a Divinity too?" Gao Xin was surprised. With Xia Heng absent, he still couldn't foresee Adam's actions too far ahead.

Adam's eyes were bitter: "A Divinity... yes, you people are like gods; whether it's Caesar or Milan, they are so blessed."

"And I, just a mortal, an ordinary person, can never catch up..."

Gao Xin said: "No, you also have a bit of Divinity."

"A bit, huh? It seems it really is useful." Adam mused.

He explained: "012 is good at Cyber transformation, and I had him use his core components to modify me into a half-cyborg."

"Haha, as a mortal, maybe this is the only way I can barely touch a bit of divine presence."

His tone always carried a slight bitterness, understandably so; Caesar was suppressed by Milan for twenty years, and he by Caesar for twenty years...

Among the top Three Kings, he was at the bottom, the only normal person.

"Cyber transformation... Xia Heng's core components... I see..." Gao Xin's eyes cleared, understanding one of Xia Heng's abilities.

His Divinity was Cyber transformation, an aptitude that far surpassed the mundane.

And, simultaneously, this Divinity of his could infect others... spread his own Divinity.

He was, up until now, the only one capable of sharing his divine power... his Divinity.

Perhaps Xia Heng wasn't as martial as Yak, Milan, Caesar, nor as literate as Feng Wuji.

But this Transformation Divinity was still very useful, lending it to others even a little was enough to make someone a top-level Cyber master.

Aside from that, they would also be 'regarded as a Divinity.'

In the 'Synchronization' system, this would play a major role, as every additional Synchronizer quadruples the Divinity consciousness.

It's just uncertain if such a Sub-Divinity would have the same level of synchronizing efficacy.

But at the very least, it could be ascertained that this could to some degree counteract the Prophet Divine.

At this moment, Gao Xin could only predict Adam for a few seconds.
