Chapter 1699 Officer from the Pas
"Night, it's been a long time. It is nice to see you." The officer smiled. And oh, he was handsome; as handsome as a God. He slowly walked over to Stay Up Late.
"It is good to see you again." Stay Up Late felt touched.
Stay Up Late's friends and family had died amidst the fighting in the past. Seeing someone he respected alive and in the flesh provided him a joy that went beyond the possibilities of description.
"Night, come with me. The crystallizers are gone. But for as long as you and I are together, the Third Division Special Forces will never die." The officer looked right at Stay Up Late.
Stay Up Late opened his mouth and thought of something. He looked at Yake, and then looked at the officer. His expression was complex. "Officer, did you send him to deal with the Han family?"
"The Han family elder stole from us. We have to take it back. You do not have to concern yourself with these matters," the officer said.
Stay Up Late looked at him strangely, and he said, "Officer, you taught me soldiers are meant to protect. Protect life. Protect the law. Protect the world."
The officer quietly responded, "I know what you are trying to say, but the world is not like that anymore. The world is changing, and we must change with it."
"The crystallizers are destroyed, but the humans and the shura are still here. They have laws and order of their own. It is not our place to tamper with or subvert them." Stay Up Late still spoke with passion, and he went on to say, "Officer, you taught us all this. Why are you doing what you are doing now?"
The officer looked at Stay Up Late. "If the things I taught were so useful, the crystallizers wouldn't have been wiped out. We need more than law; we need repopulation. And so, we have to go out and try."
Stay Up Late looked at the officer, his expression complicated. He wasn't sure what to say. His officer had changed, and he wasn't the same person that Stay Up Late used to know and respect. He was like a different man altogether.
"Officer, you claim their elder stole something of yours. Their elder; that implies it was none of their business. Please, let them go," Stay Up Late pleaded, looking at the officer.
The officer didn't say anything, but he seemed hesitant about something.
"Officer, he is our only lead. We need to catch them to draw out Han Jinzhi. You shouldn't just let them go because of this kid! We have sacrificed many people in this pursuit; we can't turn back now!" Yake shouted.
"Shut up, I am talking with the officer now." Stay Up Late stared down at Yake, who was looking like ice. Yake seethed, but he did not speak a word.
The officer sighed and said, "Fine. Since you say it is so."
The officer walked in front of Stay Up Late and patted his shoulder. He said, "Let us take a walk, Night. I have many things to tell you, after all these years that have elapsed."
"Officer..." Stay Up Late's eyes turned red and teary. His love and admiration for the officer of the Third Division were back. Pang!
The next second, the officer's fist was driven right into Stay Up Late's belly. The scary palm broke through his armor and went right through his guts.
Stay Up Late did not think this would happen, and he was already flying through the air and coughing up blood before he noticed it had occurred. He hit a building and broke it.
"Stay Up Late!" Luo Lan was in shock. The officer was a truly callous man.
"Why?" Stay Up Late stepped out from the ruin and asked the officer, looking up at the sky.
The officer said coldly, "To secure the future of the crystallizers, there is something I must do. You are the best soldier I ever trained, but even I cannot control you. And there is something you must do, and you must do it for me."
"You are no longer the officer I once knew." Stay Up Late's face was expressionless.
"The world is changing, and so are you. You just haven't noticed it yet." The officer was speaking with an icy tone of voice.
He went on to say, "Zagu, Zach; take Han Sen's son and the New Community Leader. Take them away."
Two metal bodies came forward, approaching the top of the building.
"I'll go help!" Yake looked coldly at Stay Up Late as he followed Zach to the roof of the building.
Stay Up Late clenched his way through the pain, attempting to stop Yake. But the officer went right in front of him.
"Excuse me, officer. But I cannot allow you to take anyone," Stay Up Late said to the officer, wiping the blood from his lips.
"You are the best crystallizer warrior there is. You do not have to help humans as you are." The officer did not move.
Seeing Yake was almost at the rooftop, Stay Up Late did not say anything and instead planned to break through the man obstructing him.
The officer moved and used his fist to stop him, though.
"I am sorry, officer." Stay Up Late built up power and tried to annihilate the defense before him.
But Stay Up Late had only just moved when the officer repeatedly punched him backward. Stay Up Late kept trying to go from a different direction, but he couldn't get past.
Pang!
Stay Up Late's chest was delivered another punch by the officer. He stumbled back a few hundred meters and coughed up more blood.
"I taught you, remember? I know exactly what you have learned. And now that you are injured, come back with me and make the crystallizers great again," the officer said.
Stay Up Late did not speak, and he just flew over to the officer. But it looked like he was too late. Yake, Zach, and Zagu were already on the top of the building.
"D*mn you guys! You killed so many of our creatures, you should all die!" Yake looked at them with murderous eyes. He looked at everyone, ignoring Littleflower and Han Yufei. Instead of going for them as he was supposed to, he threw a punch towards Luo Lan.
Luo Lan's face looked ill, but she knew she'd have to fight back. They wouldn't be able to do much against such forces, but they had little choice in the matter.
Han Yufei was injured, but he wanted to brawl. But just as he was about to do something, a golden light appeared. It was Bao'er, clad in golden leaves. She punched Yake.
Boom!
Two scary powers came against each other. Yake looked on in disbelief. His power had been broken, and he had been sent flying again.
Bao'er's face looked murderous as she hung in the air. Her fists were coming down on Yake again —this time on his face.
Chapter 1700 Crystal King Armor
"Impossible!" Yake looked at her with disbelief. He was a crystallizer with self-generated geno armor. He was also the only creature that could still stay in the sanctuary after doing so.
He lost to Stay Up Late, who was a crystallizer from the Third Division Special Forces. That did not come as a surprise, but Bao'er was just a pet beast soul that belonged to Han Sen. He could not believe a pet beast soul's power could be even remotely stronger than he was.
And Bao'er was also wearing a geno armor.
Bao'er jumped up and threw a punch towards Yake's face. She looked so angry, and she knew who was important to Han Sen. Yake had wanted to kill Luo Lan, which was something that swiftly infuriated the baby.
Yake was in the air, and he'd be unable to dodge her next strike. All he could do was raise his arms and try to punch back her incoming fist.
But Bao'er's fist was like a hammer, and it tore Yake's arm open. The fist landed on his helmet, caving it in. The force propelled his body down into the ground with the force of a cannonball, cratering the zone.
The angry Bao'er wished to give chase, but Zach and Zagu were slipping behind her and going for Ji Yanran. They were planning to take Littleflower away from her.
Bao'er's little body flashed back to Ji Yanran. To stop Zach and Zagu, she gave them a punch each.
Dong!
Zach and Zagu were strong. They were stronger than Yake, definitely, and that was because they had also generated their own geno armor. Even so, their armorsets were visibly dented by the punches that Bao'er delivered.
Yake's face, which was smeared with mud and blood, emerged from the crater. He came rushing towards Bao'er with manic fury.
Bao'er fought all three of them with absolute strength. Her fists and her arms were so hard, Bao'er was able to keep delivering strikes that repeatedly dented their armor.
Yake and the others were in shock. It was difficult to believe that anyone this powerful aside from the officer resided in the Alliance.
The officer frowned, seeing all this. And he was visibly afraid of the power Bao'er wielded.
But Bao'er's golden leaf armor suddenly started to shine. The luminosity made it look rather unstable. Bao'er had put the armor on to defeat Snake Witch before she really should have, and that had made her weak for some time.
This time, however, she wasn't able to kill them immediately. It was taking her a while, and it didn't help that there were three of them to deal with. Things were turning dire once more.
Ji Yanran saw Bao'er's situation suddenly turn grim, and she gave Littleflower to Luo Lan. Then, she put on the Crystal Shoes that were in her bag.
"Crystal Shoes, please help us! We will very much appreciate your assistance," Ji Yanran said to the Crystal Shoes.
The Crystal Shoes heard what Ji Yanran said, and then leaped down onto the ground. They slipped themselves onto her feet, and a crystal light began to shine everywhere. The shoes were like magic, and they turned into a crystal armor that decked out Ji Yanran.
Before Ji Yanran could move, the crystal armor pulled her into the air. She attacked Zach with spinning legs.
Zach threw a punch at the incoming legs and they collided. But Zach's fist was broken against the solid crystal armor, resulting in a spray of blood.
"Argh!" Zach fell back, as Ji Yanran was now in the thick of things. Ji Yanran joined the fight alongside Bao'er.
The attackers had a hard time withstanding Bao'er's strikes alone, but now they could do nothing. They kept on getting hit without reprieve, and they were bleeding like mad.
Everyone from God's Organization was in shock.
They thought it would be a fun event to draw Han Jinzhi out of hiding. The Han family wasn't even their target. Yet as soon as the fight began, they realized how scary the family was. That fear had only mounted in the time since, and they felt truly powerless and helpless before them.
Yake, Zach, and Zagu were having a particularly terrible time. They had claimed to be the strongest, and they had even claimed to be crystallizers. But now they were getting cruelly beaten by Ji Yanran and Bao'er. They were on a short fuse now.
Ji Yanran was not fighting them herself, of course. She was being controlled by the Crystal Shoes. The shoes merely borrowed her body for fighting purposes.
When the officer saw the Crystal Shoes, his eyes opened wide. He said, "Why would Eastern King's Crystal Shoes be here, owned by these humans?"
The officer suddenly left Stay Up Late where he was. He headed straight for Ji Yanran and Bao'er.
"Officer, are you leaving?" Stay Up Late followed the officer and stopped him.
"Night, I said this is none of your business." The officer frowned, and then his body moved. He was unable to get rid of Stay Up Late that easily, however.
Stay Up Late's mouth was bleeding, but he could still smile and mock his former superior. "You taught me everything, so you know me. But that also means I know you. You're not shaking me so easily."

"Step back; I do not want to soak myself in your blood," the officer said coldly.
"I told you I have been watching over them, and I won't let anyone bring them lasting harm." Stay Up Late blocked the officer again.
"You really think you can stop me from going over there?" The officer sighed.
"I told you. We both understand each other too well," Stay Up Late said.
The officer shook his head. "You know me, but you don't know time. It's been so long and things can change, like..."
After that, the officer blasted out a scary power. A flaming pair of wings appeared, setting him ablaze, assimilating with his armor.
"Southern King Wings? How is that possible? Your geno armor is compatible with it?" Stay Up Late screamed in shock.
"There are many things of which you know nothing," the officer said, then pulled out a white sword.
"Western King Sword?" Stay Up Late could not contain his expression of surprise. He was truly shocked.
"The geno armors of the four crystallizer kings still exist, and I have obtained two of them. And they are blending into my geno armor. No one in the sanctuary can ever hope to fight me. Before me and my power, your knowledge is useless." The officer held the white-metal sword high as his body blazed with fire. He coldly told Stay Up Late, "Step aside. Don't make me spill the last of your blood."
Chapter 1701 Coming Back
Stay Up Late looked at the officer sadly. Without moving an inch, he said, "Officer, it was you who taught me to never fall back. It was you who taught me to always do my job. I will never forget that"
The officer moved his eyes and then stopped. He responded by saying, "If you must be like this, then excuse my cruel deeds."
After that, the officer swung his white metal sword. But before Stay Up Late could see how it moved, he groaned in pain. He now had a wound on his chest that was deep enough to reveal his ribs.
"That was a warning strike," the officer said to Stay Up Late.
Stay Up Late looked at the white metal sword and said, "The Western King Sword and the Southern King Wings are so powerful. No wonder they are legendary."
"I only used 10% of my power!" the officer said.
Stay Up Late looked down on the wound on his chest and calmly said, "Next time you strike, and I don't dodge, please just leave my body here. A special ops operative that doesn't complete their mission should not return home."
"Why are you so stubborn?" The officer sounded a bit angry.
"These are my principles. You taught them to me!" Stay Up Late said.
"Good. I will teach you another lesson, then. You need to think on the fly," the officer said and moved his Western King Sword again. He did so faster than last time.
But this time, Stay Up Late moved. It was like he moved with the Western King Sword, except he was a little ahead of it.
Stay Up Late grunted, and another wound appeared on his body. This wound was lighter than the last, however, and the damage wasn't so grievous.
"It looks like you can teach an old dog a new trick." The officer frowned. The sword had not performed as impressively as he had expected, especially after he put even more strength into the second swing.
Stay Up Late laughed and said, "I learned that from Han Sen. Humans are weaker, and their lifespans are shorter, but their creativity far exceeds ours. The skills they create are far more ingenious than what the crystallizers developed."
"You are falling!" the officer grunted. He waved his fire wings and swung his Western King Sword.
Stay Up Late's movements were similar to Han Sen's, but not exactly on the mark. He was borrowing some techniques and skills, but he was adding them to his own. He was still using mostly his own talents.
Stay Up Late dodged the deadly attack, but he was too weak to escape it all. His body was wounded again. He was beginning to look like a bloodman.
The officer, with armor from two crystallizer kings, was faster and stronger than Stay Up Late.
Seeing Gugia get killed by Golden Growler, the officer had lost all his patience. He waved his Western King Sword and prepared to unleash all his power.
Stay Up Late had managed to avoid getting killed by the previous three strikes, but he had still been hit by each. With the wounds incurred, he wouldn't be able to evade the fourth. The sword was on its way, arcing down towards his chest.
"It's over!" Stay Up Late sighed. He knew he wouldn't be able to dodge it, and he knew his body would be cut in half.
Boom!
Suddenly, a light came from the sky. It hit the Western King Sword with the power of a small sun. It shocked the officer and his sword, and the sword missed its target, buying Stay Up Late time.

Stay Up Late's body moved fast, and he avoided the strike. He looked to the sky in shock.
The officer's face changed and he looked up, too. There was a shadow up there, moving quick. And there was a light coming down on the officer.
The officer kept swinging his Western King Sword to try and break the light, but he then saw a giant beetle land.
Han Sen had finally come back to Roca, and he saw Stay Up Late was going to get killed. He used the unicorn beetle's weapon systems to save him.
Seeing the person use a sword to break the beetle's light, Han Sen was shocked. The beetle's light was not as good as geno armor because the mobility wasn't up to scratch.
The officer saw someone appear, and he didn't want to waste any more time with the unexpected. So, he had to finish his task before Zagu was killed.
He flapped his wings and teleported to the beetle. He slashed towards the beetle and cut a three-meter-long crevice through it.
Han Sen was shocked, so he quickly recalled the beetle. The unicorn beetle could not move fast to evade attacks. He was afraid it could very easily be destroyed if that continued.
"Han Sen!" The officer was shocked when he saw Han Sen emerge from the machine. He used his Western King Sword against him, trying to slash him like he had never slashed before.
Han Sen's face changed and he tried to dodge, but his fitness could not save him from those swipes.
Before he could move, the glove on his right hand became an armorset that shielded his entire body. Then, the fist aligned itself with the arc of the Western King Sword.
Boom!
The fist hit the sword, and it created an explosion in the sky. It was far worse than the detonation of an atom bomb. The impact turned the ground into an ocean. The city became a ruin.
Han Sen's body fell back a few thousand meters. He was rather shocked that he didn't fall over.
He knew the immense power of the glove, but even so, he was still sent flying. His chest fell awful, but his opponent hadn't moved an inch. That was a testament to the sheer power he wielded.
Han Sen did not know Western King Sword, Southern King Wings, and the glove were all on the same level. The officer was simply stronger than Han Sen, which made the glove appear weaker.
"Northern King Glove. I did not expect one of the four crystallizer kings' armors could be found here. Let me take the Northern King Glove and the Eastern King Crystal Shoes, then I can get moving." The officer looked excited, staring down at Han Sen in the jade armor.
He flapped his wings alongside his sword. The officer looked completely murderous, and he wanted to kill Han Sen for the glove.
Han Sen used The Story of Genes and let his energy combine with the armor to assimilate with it.
