Ultragene Warlord

While Zhang Lie was training the members of Team Zenith, Hong Tianqi had finished assembling a new committee for the world federation.

He messaged Zhang Lie and said that he had something important to tell him, so Zhang Lie had to return to Earth.
When he met with Hong Tianqi, he learned that plans for the committee of authorities had been finalized ahead of schedule and would happen in two days.

The reason Hong Tianqi had called him back was to ask his opinion about being an authority himself.
”Have you decided? ”

Zhang Lie replied that he would be willing to take on such a position, but that he wouldn ’t frequently attend committee meetings.

If anyone else had said it, Hong Tianqi would have slapped them on the face.
The presiding authority himself was personally asking Zhang Lie to take on the role, and Zhang Lie replied that he would shirk his responsibilities!

”If you insist. ” Against Zhang Lie, however, Hong Tianqi couldn ’t seem to muster up any anger at all.
He accepted easily.

”In that case, I ’m happy to accept. ”

Hong Tianqi continued, ”Make sure you find a good substitute for yourself if you ’re not attending in person. ”

”No problem.
I ’ll certainly be there when the committee is established. ”

By this point, Zhang Lie was the most popular hunter on the hunters ’ forums bar none.
His name was always on-screen; he simply did too much and caused too many incidents.
Every two days or so, there would be a new news article about him.

Two months in the second realm were just six days on Earth, after all. 

The kingdom of Limit had been formed quite some time ago, but it was still a fashionable and popular topic of conversation on the forums.
By this time, far more hunters were in support of it rather than against it.

With his own strength, Zhang Lie had claimed the sura territory as his own and founded a kingdom that was the largest force in the second realm.
The days of sura tyranny were over; the humans were free to grow and prosper.

In the light of this information, an even larger piece of news emerged: the world federation was reforming.

This piece of information naturally caught the hunters ’ attention.

The day the committee was set to reform, everyone famous or important in the galaxy was present at the headquarters of the world federation.

The headquarters of the world federation had been deserted for the last few months after the schism, but with Hong Tianqi reconstructing the committee, it became the center of attention once again.

The representatives of various clans flocked into the headquarters of the world federation.

This was the first time Zhang Lie was present.
There was a round table filled with twenty seats in the center of a large auditorium that was filled to the brim.

Those seated in the stands were only there to listen in and report on the meeting; the authorities would all be seated in the center.

Zhang Lie noticed several allies of his seated around the table, including representatives from the four prime races.
They smiled at each other.

Zhang Lie was the youngest of the committee members present; perhaps he was even the youngest in recorded history.
However, none of the senior members dared to underestimate him.
They paid careful attention to news coming out of the galaxy, and they knew how instrumental a role he played in recent events.

In some respect, much of the news had been directly caused by the young man seated in front of them—and most prominent of all was what had happened to Amurong.

Amurong had gone crazy after paying a visit to the Zenith Dojo. 

Even though Hong Tianqi had claimed that Amurong had gone crazy long ago, that he had simply been triggered that day in the Zenith Dojo, none present at the round table believed his words.

Although they didn ’t know just what had happened within, they were certain that Zhang Lie was responsible for Amurong ’s madness.
Who could underestimate someone able to topple the sura and construct a kingdom of their own in the second realm?

Humans were at the bottom of the totem pole when Zhang Lie arrived in the second realm, and quite a few other races, including the sura, had reared humans like livestock.
And now? The sura were killed almost to the last, all thanks to the human in front of them.

Underestimating someone like Zhang Lie would be a death sentence, they were sure.
To the other committee members seated around the table, Zhang Lie was a demon draped in human skin.

When Hong Tianqi arrived at the scene, Zhang Lie smiled at him, and Hong Tianqi smiled politely back.
He glanced around the table and saw that all the seats were filled.

He stood up and announced, ”We ’ve overcome the darkness.
It ’s finally time to put an end to an old era and welcome the new. ”

Those seated around the table clapped politely.

”The only reason I can stand here today is thanks to everyone ’s support.
I hereby announce that the world federation will begin functioning once more. ” Hong Tianqi ’s gaze swept over everyone present.
He had hand-picked the committee members himself; they were those that had stood by him when the schism occurred.
”First, an important piece of news. ”

Everyone glanced at Hong Tianqi, who was scrolling through a report.
”The leader of the limit fragment research laboratory and of the Zenith Dojo, Zhang Lie, has discovered a class of lifeforms beyond even peak-grade. ”

What? Weren ’t peak-grade lifeforms the highest class of lifeforms that existed? Otherwise, why would they be known as peak-grade?

Hong Tianqi continued, ”Because these lifeforms are disasters that walk the realm, they will be called disaster-grade lifeforms. ”

With a clap of his hands, his aides distributed a copy of the reports to each committee member.

”These lifeforms boast a hundred times the strength of a regular peak-grade lifeform, and they are to peak-grade lifeforms what peak-grade lifeforms are to regular-grade ones.
Their bodies have crystallized, and they ’re largely resistant to any forms of physical damage.
Their core is their only weakness, ” Hong Tianqi introduced.

Zhang Lie peered at the report.
The first few pages were useless; they were simply the notes that he had shared with Hong Tianqi.

The remainder of the report was a list of incidents expected to have been caused by disaster-grade lifeforms, including the destruction of the Blacksteel settlement.
It was clear that, in the last few years, the world federation had been collating information about these incidents and the lifeforms behind them.
They were clearly stronger than usual peak-grade lifeforms, but the world federation had yet to settle on a standard classification for them.

The other committee members, recalling their own experiences with what could plausibly have been such lifeforms, were initially surprised but quickly grew to accept this information.

One member proposed, ”If there are disaster-grade lifeforms, are there disaster gene fragments? ”

”Of course, ” Zhang Lie responded.

”Have you obtained any? ” the committee member pressed, prompting the attention of everyone around the round table.

Zhang Lie nodded.
It was something that would have been revealed sooner or later; hiding the truth was meaningless.

The members were somewhat shocked, but it did explain the abnormal strength that Zhang Lie displayed while fighting against the asura.
Zhang Lie had likely already known about such gene fragments very early on, and he had already begun acquiring them…

”How are their effects compared to peak gene fragments? ”

”They ’re incomparable, ” Zhang Lie replied.
”Just one disaster gene fragment is stronger than a hundred peak ones. ”
