Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Huge chunks of stone lay scattered throughout the valley.

The previous sandworm assault and the subsequent explosion-induced landslide had caused severe deformation to the entire valley where the Harkonnen family was stationed.

The scene was somewhat chaotic.

However, with Paul serving as a link here, plus the Foreman people's control of the scene, order had more or less been restored. They were now handling the site cleanup, gathering bodies together and clearing some of the debris and miscellaneous items that could be removed.

As for the collapsed mountain and the destroyed buildings, that would have to be left to machinery to slowly handle in the future.

Groan~

From behind Tao Yu, an enormous dragon claw emerged from the shadows and heavily pressed onto the ground.

The alien dragon that had been buried underground for over two months was unaffected, its body dripping with drops of shadow ink as it squeezed out from the shadows.

The huge dragon claw smashed onto the ground, leaving deep scratches.

Although the alien dragon was smaller in size compared to the sandworm, its imposing appearance and the manner of its emergence shocked both the Foreman people and the surrendered Harkonnen family soldiers nearby.

Even the captive ninjas from the Village Hidden by Sand seemed to be in awe.

Crest Worms traveled through the body of the alien dragon, causing its shadow-tinged skin to sometimes bulge and then return to calm.

The magical power born from the fusion of the Crest Worms and the Black Mud was enough to provoke a reaction from the Perception ninja.

"What a powerful and strange energy."

Yecang sighed as he watched the appearance of the alien dragon.

This Pioneer who had taken him and the Kazekage captive, truly had endless means, and his depths were unfathomable. With every piece of information continually updating, there was no telling what he truly excelled at.

The Wood Release used before, though it had semblances of The Underworld, also matched up to the Tree Boundary called forth by the God of Shinobi recorded in history.

"Compared to these strange energies, I find it most terrifying that he was actually able to make the Foreman people and the Harkonnen family restrain each other..."

Rasa, as the Kazekage, cared not only about strength but also about various external influences.

The dynamics between the Foreman people and the Harkonnen family living around the Village Hidden by Sand were of his concern.

Yet, these historically irreconcilable factions had actually achieved a grand reconciliation?

It was unbelievable and inconceivable to him...

However, Rasa, lost in thought on the other side, was constructing in his mind Tao Yu's masterful strategy.

Tao Yu himself was somewhat baffled by the reconciliation between the Harkonnen family and the Foreman people.

He had intended for the Foreman people to replace the Harkonnen family.

If they wanted revenge, let them have it, and learning to mine would suffice.

But he never anticipated that Paul could firmly stand with both factions.

If one also considered his own identity as the heir to the Atreides Duke family, it was as if he was straddling three boats.

Paul's status as the grandson of the Harkonnen Baron, the savior and Prophet for the Foreman people, had allowed him to successfully achieve integration.

Tao Yu wasn't necessarily keen on completely eradicating the people of the Harkonnen family.

After all, they were skilled workers in mining and Spice extraction.

This current situation could be considered the best possible outcome!

The Baron Harkonnen's orders for the blanket attack, which also endangered his own soldiers, was a move that lost much favor.

This was also one of the reasons Paul was able to ascend to his position steadily.

It was likely the opportunity divined.

Although the reasons were unknown, the objective had been achieved.

Quite mystical...

"Kazekage."

As the alien dragon crawled out to spread its wings and then submissively lay on its side, Tao Yu turned his head to look at Rasa, whom he had been sealing with Black Mud.

"Mr. Tao is too kind, just call me Rasa," he said.

After being subdued, Rasa was quite docile, bearing none of the imperiousness he had as the Kazekage.

Previously, as a captive, he had been somewhat defiant, thinking that with a ninja's ability to find weaknesses, as long as enough information on the opponent was gathered, there would still be a possibility to counter them.

But after witnessing a series of maneuvers such as controlling sandworms, overpowering the Harkonnen family, slaying mysterious warriors, unleashing the Tree Boundary, summoning a flying dragon, and more,

he had come to understand the power of this individual!

Uncontestable!

His array of abilities was so broad it was impossible to discern his expertise!

Even if he didn't take action himself, just the sheer magical ability to control sandworms alone would be enough for the Village Hidden by Sand to worry about.

Moreover, now that the Harkonnen family had undergone a smooth transition, there truly was no essential conflict between them and the Sand Hidden Village.

The survival of the Shinobi Village had always depended on employment.

He just wanted to manage his village well and be a good Kazekage, without any ambition for world domination.

"The previous cooperation with the Harkonnen family remained intact; we can continue to maintain that. What do you think?"

"Of course! The smooth transition of the Harkonnen family means we were not employed by the Baron personally." Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

With that said, Rasa continued earnestly.

"I'll also bring the information about the One-Tail to you as quickly as possible."

"No need, I'll go with you."

Tao Yu flipped a coin in his hand, glanced at the pattern, and then made up his mind.

Divination was one reason.

Another was his boldness due to his superior skills, coupled with his understanding of the Sand Hidden Village; going there directly was naturally no problem.

"This is our honor."

Rasa genuinely had no intention of setting an ambush; the opponent had already demonstrated their strength through their accomplishments.

By glancing at a leopard's spots, one could perceive its entirety—from this individual's strength, it was clear that the Pioneer's overall standard far exceeded that of the Village Hidden by Sand.

It was already good to maintain the current relationship.

"Other ninjas, stay behind to assist with the defense to prevent more Pioneers from causing trouble. Maintain real-time communication, and without my permission, no one, including Pioneers, should enter at will. If there are visitors, contact me directly for instructions.

"Ensure the Spice extraction proceeds as quickly as possible, with priority given to protecting Paul."

"Yes, I will make arrangements immediately."

Paul was a pivotal link between the Harkonnen Family and the Foreman people and, to some extent, also a key connection between Tao Yu and the Foreman people.

He glanced at the valley, now disorderly from the initial explosions and Sandworm charges, observed the traces of landslides and boulders everywhere, and saw the Foreman people clearing the site under Paul's direction.

Tao Yu clapped his hands and, using the connection with his corps members, spoke with a voice that enveloped the entire field,

"I'll take a trip to the Village Hidden by Sand to deal with some issues. In my absence, follow Paul's orders, and focus on organizing and restoring order."

At that time, in the eyes of the Foreman people, Tao Yu was akin to a Celestial God, even able to control Sandworms—what else could the desert god be?

As for those methods that seemed evil and of The Underworld?

They worshipped the Sandworms, and the sandstorms were also a menacing black mass; wasn't that just the style of a desert god?

Bringing death, oh yes!

Now, receiving such a 'divine decree,' they naturally executed it faithfully.

Following Paul's directive was something they wouldn't resist anyway; after all, he was the Prophet, the savior, the substitute of the gods...

"Come up."

Tao Yu leaped onto the back of the Alien Dragon.

Medici and Scathach also floated beside him in their Hollow forms.

One was valiant and handsome, the other seductively enchanting. Combined with Tao Yu's enhanced appearance and charm from taking the Witch's Potion, their presence was indeed imposing.

Rasa and Yecang, of course, did not hesitate.

With a ninja's strength, standing firmly on the back of the Alien Dragon was simple.

Ao~

A lofty Dragon's Chant, accompanied by the flapping wings, as the rich Magical Power inside the Alien Dragon circulated, its strong legs kicked back, and it soared into the sky, shooting straight into the clouds.

It stirred up an arc of sand dust at the scene, then flew towards the direction indicated by Rasa and his company...

...

Series of hawk cries echoed in the sky.

The Ninja Hawk of the Village Hidden by Sand kept issuing warnings.

Essentially, the Village Hidden by Sand was in a mountain valley, a natural fortification.

The entrance was quite narrow, easy to defend and hard to attack.

As long as the entrance was blocked, it was nearly impossible to mount a frontal assault.

However, no matter how high the cliffs surrounding the Village Hidden by Sand were, after all, it was an open-air, roofless valley. The Village had no effective response to attacks from the sky.

Although there were warnings from the Ninja Hawk and sentry posts specially monitoring the sky,

faced with Tao Yu riding the great mass of the Alien Dragon, they seemed to lack an effective reaction for a moment.

"No wonder Deidara could so easily capture Gaara; the Village Hidden by Sand's anti-air defenses..."

Tat-tat-tat~

The roaring of anti-aircraft guns resounded, and chains of bullets flung from multiple sentry posts in the Village Hidden by Sand towards the sky, leaving Tao Yu somewhat speechless.

Really keeping pace with the times, huh? Seems my previous evaluation was hasty...

"Cease fire!"

With a dark shadow Shield shading the area below the Alien Dragon, Rasa also issued a loud rebuke, halting such actions.

"Is that the Kazekage?"

"What kind of Spirit Beast is this?"

"Why didn't they make contact with us beforehand..."

"Weren't the Kazekage and Yecang assisting the Harkonnen Family against the Foreman people..."

Rasa's voice, accompanied by his signature Magnet Release controlling the sand to rise into the air, blocked the bullet barrage while supporting the Alien Dragon's descent.

All attacks ceased, but even with the Kazekage leading the way, the Village Hidden by Sand was still alert.

This situation was overly strange.

Ninjas all had their guard up.

When the Alien Dragon landed in a spacious square,

many ninjas, adopting tactical postures, started to surround the area.

The Kazekage and Yecang hadn't contacted them in advance and suddenly returned; there had to be an issue.

However, for Tao Yu, if Rasa had contacted the Village Hidden by Sand in advance, who knew if there might be some agreed-upon secret signals that would actually lead to a well-prepared ambush?

There was no need to leave this kind of hidden danger.

Now, having him lead the way directly might still raise alertness, but without the chance to prepare in advance, the worst outcome for himself would actually just be like this.

Strength was the best pass!

"Rasa, it seems your position isn't quite secure; no wonder I heard such news when coming from the Hidden Mist Village."

Tao Yu jumped down from the Alien Dragon, his words causing a slight stiffening in Rasa's expression.

In his ears, it was 'You wouldn't want others to know about your selling out Yecang, would you...'

Hidden Mist Village really causes trouble, talking out of school about everything...
