Chapter 227: Chapter 175: Superconductive Shield ArrayBang! Amid the gunfire, that worker’s head exploded but not a single drop of blood splattered. His body also burst apart, instantly inflating a hundredfold, as strands of black smoke-like energy spread outward, forming a massive cloud of dark mist. From it emerged a tall humanoid silhouette, shrouded in darkness, emitting a terrifying scream as it lunged towards Ji Xinghuo. "Strange genius of mimicry!" Numerous spectators shouted out. The commentary box was also in chaos, exclaiming in shock, "Such a vast Dark Mist Body, he is a Legendary Mutant!" The strange genius of mimicry possess the "Mimicry" Ability, allowing him through physical contact to transform into the appearance of others, including their voice and iris, and unless genetic information is examined, it is difficult to discern the true from the false with the naked eye. The worker whose head had exploded was someone else in disguise! However, what people did not understand was why a Legend-level strange genius of mimicry would disguise as a worker to sneak into the venue? And how had the person who fired the shot noticed it? Why was he able to bring a gun into the venue? Amid a series of questions, spectators saw Ji Xinghuo turn and run at high speed, smashing through the registration hall’s soundproof glass and rushing into the open space in the middle of the stadium. The black mist formed by the strange genius of mimicry chased after him like a fierce wind. On the platform, the three randomly selected spectators and workers were terrified to stupefaction. The terrifying aura of the Legendary Mutant left their minds blank. Shi Renzhong also froze on the spot. At this moment, a buzzing sound arose everywhere in the Tian Qin Stadium, causing the spectators’ hair to stand on end as a massive current of electric energy converged, and the lights above the venue flickered non-stop, signaling an impending major incident. "The Superconductive Shield Array has been activated!" Finally, someone realized, but it was already too late. Boom! Amid the roar, a pale blue shield rose at the edge of the oval field in the middle of the stadium, forming a dome-like shield that completely enveloped the field. The shield was transparent, allowing the inside scene to be seen. Hexagonal patterns emerged on the vast shield, resembling a honeycomb cross-section; although seemingly transparent and empty, it was exceptionally tough. The spectators outside the shield were completely unaffected, but everyone was utterly confused. The Superconductive Shield Array, the most significant technological invention of the past two centuries that impacted Earth’s civilization. Originally derived from the Ether Technology of the Star Realm, combined with physical technology, built using superconductive materials to create shield generators, powered by controlled nuclear fusion—it emitted a shield capable of withstanding physical shocks and energy damage! When multiple shield generators were assembled into an array, providing more energy, the more extensive and stronger the stimulated shield’s range and defense power. The Superconductive Shield Array could even withstand a nuclear explosion! As long as the array was strong enough, and the nuclear bomb didn’t strike directly on the shield, the shockwave, light radiation, and nuclear radiation produced by the nuclear explosion could not harm the people and objects inside the shield. This significantly weakened nuclear deterrence. Humanity acquired this super technology in 2067, and in the following years, laser weapon technology was applied to space-based missile defense systems. Thus, the third World War erupted in 2080. It was the most brutal global conflict in human history, larger and more deadly than the fourth World War in 2161. During this war, nuclear weapons were massively abused as conventional weapons, and nuclear bombs struck all major continents of the globe. Large areas of Earth became nuclear wastelands. In just two years, major cities around the world were almost reduced to ruins, economic losses were immeasurable, the population decreased by a third, and the casualties were even more dreadful than the Beiluo Shimen Clan’s invasion. Humanity almost drove itself to extinction. Seeing that continued fighting would lead to human extinction, and no country could persist, they collectively signed the "Peace Declaration" to end the third World War and once again restricted the proliferation of nuclear weapons, historically called the Second Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It can be said that the Superconductive Shield Array changed the entire pattern of humanity. From that time until now, Superconductive Shield Array technology has become more and more refined, and its defense capabilities stronger and stronger. Today, the Superconductive Shield Array is widely used in various aspects of human society, especially in vital governmental institutions, military facilities, fusion power stations, key industrial zones, etc., all protected by Superconductive Shield Arrays to prevent nuclear attacks. Many economically valuable and densely populated buildings also have shield arrays installed. The Tian Qin National Stadium is one of them. There’s even a unique use for the stadium’s shield array; once activated, it allows mutants above Legendary level to fight full force without harming the spectators in the stands. But now it was activated! "What’s going on?" "Who activated the shield array, and why weren’t we notified?" Shi Renzhong shouted from the platform, his face filled with anger, but no one could answer him. The registration halls located at both ends of the oval field were now inside the range of the shield. Coaches and competitive mutants, these experts, were blocked outside the shield; only dozens of workers, eight spectators, and two teams participating in the exhibition match remained inside. Shi Renzhong looked towards the platform across the field. Skywalker Team’s Yu Meiling, participating in the exhibition match, never missed an opportunity to increase her exposure. At this moment, members of the Emperor Star Team came out from the locker room. "Immediately have someone turn off the shield array," Shi Renzhong commanded the club manager across the transparent shield. "What’s going on?" People were confused. Man Ying’s gaze sharpened as she spotted Ji Xinghuo in the field, her expression slightly altering. Boom! The entire stadium shook. Shi Renzhong turned his head and saw that the Strange Genius had finally caught up to Ji Xinghuo. Black smoke dived down, instantly turning into a molten rock giant over five meters tall. His right fist, as large as a cart, smashed fiercely toward the ground, sending flames and magma splashing out. Tens of thousands of spectators changed color in unison, many immediately guessed, the target of the Strange Genius was to kill the spectator who had been chosen! This was too bold, daring to kill someone in front of so many people. There were several legendary strong ones present at the scene. There was even a Heavenly King! "Stop him quickly!" an audience member cried out in urgency. Immediately, someone shook their head and said, "How to stop? The Shield Array has already been activated, no one can enter or leave, not even the Heavenly King can break through immediately." Suddenly, people finally understood. The Shield Array was both a protection and a prison for those within it. As long as the shield was up, the Strange Genius could ruthlessly chase down that person. Several figures flew out from the VIP boxes behind the spectator stands, including the "Great Magician" Shi Hongyi. He raised his hand, a light ball condensing in his palm, bursting forth in a dazzling beam the moment it exploded, striking the shield, which merely shook before recovering. Shi Hongyi attacked rapidly several times but couldn’t break the shield. He grimly shook his head. The other legends also stopped their attacks, not even the Heavenly King could break the shield, much less them. Indeed, everyone was aware of how strong the Superconductive Shield’s defense was. Even the Heavenly King struggled to break it. Since the advent of this technology, there hadn’t been a record of it being breached by mutants, either it was blown open by high-energy weapons, or the array’s energy supply was cut off. Another rumble occurred. A second layer of the Superconductive Shield Array rose, covering an even greater area including the entire stadium, with tens of thousands of spectators sitting between the two layers of the Superconductive Shield. The audience immediately became restless. The host hurriedly reassured, "Please do not panic, everyone remain in your seats and wait for the situation to be handled. The Shield Array is just a technical issue, there is no danger, everyone is safe." If over three hundred thousand spectators started panicking, just the stampede could cause numerous casualties. Shi Hongyi’s voice also spread throughout the stadium. "I am Shi Hongyi. Please rest assured, I and both clubs together will protect everyone present, please do not move around for now."

Members of both competing teams also spread out into various areas of the stands, soothing the audience’s emotions, and guarding against possible attacks. At this moment, three legendary mutants appeared in the air outside the shield, two men and a woman, Zhou Yishang and his wife Yao Xian, along with another Xuanyuan Swordsman. They received the message sent by Ji Xinghuo and arrived as fast as they could, but were still a step late. Shi Hongyi flashed into view at the edge of the shield, communicating with Zhou Yishang and the others through it. "Chairman Shi." Zhou Yishang’s face looked bad, but in front of a Heavenly King, he held back from bursting out, asking with a cold face, "What’s going on?" "Director Zhou, is that swordsman from the Sword Bureau?" Shi Hongyi asked in return. "Yes." Zhou Yishang didn’t say much. The matter involved the Sword Bureau’s secrets. Although Shi Hongyi was a Heavenly King, he wasn’t official personnel and couldn’t be informed. Shi Hongyi said, "The control room for the Shield Array is below the center of the venue, I can’t break through to it. The best move is to cut off the array’s power supply." "The Sword Bureau has already notified the electric grid company," Zhou Yishang replied. "Tianqin Stadium has a reserve of electric energy, even if the power is cut, the Shield Array can maintain for about 10 minutes," Shi Hongyi looked towards Ji Xinghuo in the center of the field, regretfully saying, "Can that swordsman hold on for 10 minutes under the hands of a legendary mutant?" Zhou Yishang did not respond. He himself wasn’t sure, and he suspected that there was definitely not only one Strange Genius on the scene, at least one more enemy in the control room of the Shield Array. "Two, maybe three..." "I hope he can hold on." In the middle of the stadium, Ji Xinghuo kept running around the field, avoiding a direct confrontation with the Strange Genius. Before he went on stage, he sensed the presence of the Strange Genius. The opponent’s magnetic field was extremely strong, certainly not that of a mere staff member. Pretending ignorance, he approached and immediately confirmed, the opponent was targeting him. Hence, he took the initiative and opened fire unexpectedly. As expected, the Strange Genius revealed his true form. Regrettably, the legendary mutant reacted very quickly. The Strange Genius had no weak points all over his body; the headshot did not kill him. Seeing the bad turn of events, Ji Xinghuo turned and ran. He thought as long as he could hold on until the Sword Bureau’s support arrived, he could take down the enemy, there was no need for him to fight to the death. But when the two layers of Shield Array rose, Ji Xinghuo cursed his luck. The Strange Genius could fly, was extremely fast, and had a large attack range. Ji Xinghuo had narrowly avoided attacks several times, already exerting his full effort. Suddenly, a section of the field flipped over, revealing dozens of figures rising from below, each holding firearms and melee weapons. Ji Xinghuo swept the area with his magnetic field sensor, his heart chilling instantly. These were bioroids! Bioroids, or realistic robots, were each heartless killing machines, expensive to produce, typically only seen on battlefields—who expected them here? Before Ji Xinghuo could make sense of the situation, the bioroids had already opened fire. In an instant, the middle of Tianqin Stadium turned into a death battlefield riddled with gunfire!
