Right at that moment, the dark scientists appeared. Piloting a vessel that looked like a heap of junk assembled from frayed wires and old appliances, they struck without warning, capturing the majority of the remaining heroes and Heavenly Dao faction powerhouses who had yet to enter the Inner Universe. That pile of junk unleashed a beam of light. Although inferior to the Overlord's light, it was terrifying nonetheless; a single sweep engulfed the vast majority of the mighty figures. According to Dong Cheng, these powerhouses were to be used as "batteries" by the Virtual Transcendence Device. Once it completely digested them, the power of the Virtual Transcendence Device would reach an unimaginable level.
Because of this, most of the remaining powerhouses set off in pursuit of the dark scientists. With them lurking menacingly nearby, no one dared to fight at full strength.
Hearing this, Hao Qi found it utterly absurd. Were these dark scientists truly so brazen? It had reached a completely frantic degree. Even with the Heavenly Dao and Great Dao jointly endorsing the situation, they still dared to pull such a stunt. Unless the dark scientists reached the level of the Overlord after this battle, or at least approached the Overlord's level of strength, no one could save them. They would become the shared enemy of both the Seven Seas World and the outside, hunted down relentlessly until death.
