Hell's Handbook

Chapter 407

The five attackers were not of the same size. The largest among them had a height of at least five meters or so and was a real giant. The smallest among them stood only at about 1.5 meters or so, with very facial features, but it was impossible to tell if they were male or female. The giant was a lot less pleasant to look at. The giant was a monster with a face full of sharp spikes.

Su Jin turned to look at them and said with a smile, “Can you understand when I speak?”

The five attackers exchanged glances, then the smallest among them came forward and said to Su Jin, “Of course. We’re not low level lifeforms like you humans. We know every language in the universe.”

“Low level lifeforms?” Su Jin was a little taken aback. He scanned the attacker’s brain with his psychokinesis and there was a fierce glint in his eyes after he finished the scan. These guys actually came from a civilized planet that wasn’t too far from Earth.

Besides these monsters, there were actually humans on that planet. Or at least they looked like humans and didn’t seem any different, except that humans were slaves there and treated like livestock. They had no rights and their fates were determined right from the day they were born. They were to work and eventually be killed.

In short, humans were like cattle on that planet. Or actually, cattle on Earth were of a higher class than humans on that planet, because on that planet, the humans had to suffer any sort of abuse from their masters. The dignity of humans was completely erased. They were treated worse than machinery.

Intelligence was an important ingredient in one’s ability to change the world. A race needed intelligence in order to grow, in order to understand the secrets of the universe. Even when Hell’s Handbook selected owners, it would always carefully select the intelligent beings of the universe.

On that planet, humans were intelligent too, but they did not possess strength anywhere near these monsters. Or at least to Su Jin, these guys were monsters.

“Truth be told, I really hate you guys!” Su Jin sneered at them. The first impression he had of them was poor, so he wasn’t going to hold himself back. Killing them all was probably a good way to appease the anger boiling inside him.

“Humph! You’re just a lowlife and you dare to speak to us like that?!” said the giant in a deep voice. His arms did not grow proportionately to his torso and his fists could actually pound the ground without him bending down.

“Enough of this pointless talk. Your mission is to stop my friend from completing her last step to attaining godhood, correct?” said Su Jin impatiently.

The smallest attacker who had spoken earlier hesitated, which made Su Jin snort. “You silly things, did you think you were on some secret mission? Hell’s Handbook told us beforehand that you would be coming. I’m the guardian of this side, so if you want to get in from here, you’ve got to defeat me first!”

Su Jin had a flippant look on his face initially, but he stretched his hand toward the five creatures and his gaze suddenly grew aggressive.

The five creatures instantly sensed a terrifying aura hit them, which made them instinctively move backward. But the smallest one said, “Don’t allow yourselves to be frightened by him. He’s just a low level lifeform, and according to the experiments we conducted, even after we gave our best resources to the lowest lifeform on our planet, he was defeated almost instantly. This guy… is just putting on strong front!”

The other four agreed after hearing what their companion said. They had indeed done such an experiment back on their home planet before. Since humans were intelligent lifeforms that could evolve and level up, they had tried to provide a human with a lot of resources to strengthen all aspects of the human. Then they sent him to fight one of their warriors. But the human was killed within seconds. So, even with all the resources at hand, a human was unable to evolve to a point where they were their equal. And so, from that point onward, the monsters of that planet confirmed that they were indeed born superior, and that they were high level lifeforms, while humans were… nothing more than cattle and sheep to them.

“I’m going to kill you, you arrogant thing!” bellowed the giant. Layers of bones rotated out of his arms and hands to form an armor of sorts. Then he swung a palm toward Su Jin to try and catch him. If Su Jin were to get caught by this palm, he could very well be crushed to pieces.

But Su Jin merely stared calmly at the giant and watched as the giant not only reached for him but caught him successfully. A smile spread across the giant’s face as he thought that he was definitely going to win this battle. Then… Su Jin flicked his fingers. The giant had a look of utter disbelief as his arms that were even tougher than any metal in the world exploded just like that!

The silver beams around his arms were like the most powerful of explosives as they blasted his arms into mere pieces. He wasn’t even able to feel the pain because he was simply too shocked.

“So weak?” Su Jin was very displeased. These attackers had come with great fanfare, but had turned out to be such lousy fighters. He hadn’t even used his psychokinesis to its maximum and the other party was already having trouble fighting back.

“There’s something strange about this guy. We’ve got to attack him together!” The rest started launching attacks after hearing the instruction from the smallest monster.

“This is a customized Spirit Power! And this is… a Grade A Spirit Power weapon, right? This one’s not bad too, seems really high tech!” Su Jin scanned the attacks from each monster and was able to assess how powerful each one was. It was true that they were not bad, and would have been very high ranking among the human owners.

But they were still too weak. Even his teammates like Chu Yi were stronger than these attackers. Sending such characters to stop Natasha from attaining godhood had to be a joke.

“Wait, something’s not quite right. This is not what you’re truly capable of. I’m going to give you guys a chance to actually fight me with your actual prowess. Otherwise… I’m going to wipe all of you out right now!” The aggression in Su Jin’s gaze intensified.

The five creatures were rather surprised. The smallest one snapped back, “I’ll admit that we’ve underestimated you. I’m surprised that someone of your abilities could rise up from such low level lifeforms. Simply unimaginable!”

“Since that’s the case, we’ll do what you’ve asked for. We’ll let you see for yourself what sort of power the high level lifeforms of the universe holds!” The smallest one waved their arms and the other four monsters immediately came toward them.

The smallest one opened their mouth wide and the size of the mouth grew larger and larger at an astonishing speed.

The giant leaped into the smaller one’s mouth, which wasn’t what Su Jin had initially expected. But he soon figured out that this was some combination technique of sorts.

Just as he had imagined, the smallest one swallowed the rest of the monsters, then started wriggling at high speed. Su Jin tried to scan the other party, only for his psychokinesis to be deflected powerfully before he even reached its body.

“Oh, they get new powers after they combine bodies?” Su Jin was rather surprised. They could increase their powers by just eating their companions. What a strange bunch of monsters.

But Su Jin did not do anything to stop the process and quietly watched as the five monsters became one. More than ten seconds later, a gigantic creature appeared before Su Jin.

“One last adjustment – to fight someone like you, I ought to make myself the same size as you,” said the monster with a chuckle as it let out white steam from its nose and mouth. Its body started shrinking until it was about the same size as Su Jin.

The monster’s face was still the same one as the smallest attacker earlier, so the monster had a face that could be both handsome and beautiful. And after shrinking, the monster’s body exuded both strength and beauty. If this monster were an ordinary human on Earth, it would be a lot more popular than even the most popular celebrities right now. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

“Your greatest mistake was to safely allow me to reach this state!” The monster walked up to Su Jin, then thrust it powerfully against Su Jin’s chest, which shot Su Jin straight into the ocean.

As Su Jin hit the water, the waves exploded, and a huge volume of seawater was forced upward. There was even one area that turned into a vacuum.

The water fell back down after it had surged toward the sky, submerging Su Jin completely. It was hard to say if Su Jin was dead or alive!
