Lin Bei shrugged and said, "It stings a little, but your abilities aren't that great."
"The power of the Thunder Emperor?" Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. "Does your ability come from Infinity City, am I right?"
A bewildered look appeared in Lin Bei's eyes. "What do you mean?"
"I see!"
Bai Ye sized up Lin Bei again.
Indeed, Yimi's description of the God-Chosen was correct. After they died and were reborn as God-Chosen, they would lose their original memories.
This included not only the memories of their original world but also the memories of their experiences before death in the world battlefield.
Therefore, Lin Bei didn't know the origin of his ability.
However, Bai Ye knew.
Infinity City, a forbidden zone, an area combining entry-level future technology with special abilities.
In the lower levels of Infinity City, there was an organization called voLts, whose leader was known as the Thunder Emperor, an undefeated entity within Infinity City.
Why did Bai Ye know?
Of course, it was because he had been to Infinity City in his previous life and had even conquered the forbidden zone in the lower levels. The mission of this forbidden zone was to defeat the Thunder Emperor and his Four Heavenly Kings.
The greatest characteristic of the Thunder Emperor's lightning ability was its ability to absorb lightning to strengthen himself.
Why was the Thunder Emperor known as an undefeated entity in Infinity City?
This was because Infinity City was actually a廃弃ed future technology building. After becoming a botched construction, it became a habitat for refugees and homeless people.
However, even though it was abandoned, Infinity City possessed a large number of electrical facilities. The Thunder Emperor could continuously grow stronger by absorbing the electricity from Infinity City, thus forging his undefeated legend.
Bai Ye's method of defeating the Thunder Emperor in his previous life was actually very simple. He used mechanical reconstruction to dismantle all machines that could discharge electricity, and then Bai Ye won.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Lin Bei bared his teeth. "But I like the title Thunder Emperor!"
As Lin Bei spoke, he raised his fist and punched towards Bai Ye.
Zzzap!
A large amount of electricity appeared and surged towards Bai Ye, striking him in the chest.
And then...
Nothing happened!
Bai Ye casually reached out and brushed off the lightning from his body. "I'm sorry, if you are the Thunder Emperor, then I am the God of Thunder!"
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, he directly lifted his leg and swept forward.
Like Lin Bei, it was a simple and direct lightning attack. A large amount of electricity appeared, rushing forward, shattering the ground, and then hitting Bai Ye.
Lin Bei's body was forced back again, and the surrounding lightning gradually entered Lin Bei's body.
Bai Ye sneered dismissively.
There were many types of lightning abilities. In different worlds and different regions, there were similar abilities to control lightning. However, although the effects of the abilities were similar, their strength was not the same.
The Thunder Emperor's ability was very strong, but it was only of gold quality, and at the lower end of gold quality.
As for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit...
It was of supreme quality!
So, for the same ability, how did the difference arise?
One could actually tell by looking at some details.
The greatest characteristic of the Thunder Emperor's lightning ability was its ability to absorb lightning and then strengthen himself through the transformation of electricity.
This effect seemed very strong, but during the process of lightning conversion, Lin Bei would be injured. As for Bai Ye...
After elementalization, Bai Ye himself was lightning.
Could there be lightning in this world that could harm Bai Ye?
As for absorbing lightning, since Bai Ye could turn into lightning himself, was there any problem in merging other currents into himself?
In fact, this was not even counted as an effect of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Because it was clearly an obvious matter.
Therefore, if Lin Bei was truly the Thunder Emperor.
Then, Bai Ye was the God of Thunder!
How could a mortal fight against a god?
It was ironic that Situ Chicheng would allow Lin Bei to seek out Bai Ye, mainly because Lin Bei's Thunder Emperor ability could absorb other lightning and convert it into his own lightning through electricity.
In Situ Chicheng's opinion, this might be a possibility to counter Bai Ye's ability.
Unfortunately...
Situ Chicheng had made a wrong judgment!
Of course, it couldn't be entirely blamed on Situ Chicheng. Although Situ Chicheng and Bai Lu had fought with Bai Ye and knew about Bai Ye's lightning abilities, they didn't know that this lightning ability came from the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, nor did they know the specific effects of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
...
While his thoughts were racing, Bai Ye reached out forward and made a grasping motion before Lin Bei could absorb the lightning.
The next instant, the electricity that had not yet been absorbed suddenly became violent, spreading wildly and gradually growing larger, finally transforming into a lightning beast that appeared before Lin Bei.
Boom!
The lightning beast raised its giant claws and swept them forcefully towards Lin Bei.
Lin Bei raised his arm to block, and was instantly sent flying, crashing into the side and smashing through the wall of a mansion.
Bai Ye strode forward, but at this moment, a commotion could be heard from a distance.
Bai Ye looked up and saw that the hunters had been attracted by the commotion and were rushing over.
But before Bai Ye could deal with the hunters...
Zzzap, zzzap, zzzap...
The sound of erratic currents suddenly rang out, and the lights in the surrounding buildings flickered, followed by the sound of exploding light bulbs.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck down in the direction of the hunters.
In just an instant, those hunters fell to the ground, their bodies charred black, and they lost their lives.
Bai Ye looked in the direction of the collapsed wall. Lin Bei had already stood up from the ground, his entire body emitting a white light.
"Oh?" Bai Ye chuckled. "Thunder Emperor state?"
This time, it wasn't a title, but an effect.
This was the Thunder Emperor's strongest killing move. Bai Ye himself had been severely beaten by the Thunder Emperor in his Thunder Emperor state back then.
However...
At that time, Bai Ye had fought the Thunder Emperor in the forbidden zone of the lower levels of Infinity City, where the Thunder Emperor could draw upon the electricity of Infinity City.
As for Lin Bei...
Bai Ye looked at the flickering lights within the surrounding buildings.
Alright, Lin Bei had also absorbed quite a bit of electricity, but how could this level compare to Infinity City?
Lin Bei's Thunder Emperor state was, in Bai Ye's eyes, nothing short of a joke.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Lin Bei roared and charged towards Bai Ye, his entire body wrapped in lightning, and he punched towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye completely ignored the punch and let Lin Bei hit him.
The next instant, Lin Bei's fist passed through Bai Ye's body.
The elementalization of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit could indeed only immunize against pure physical attacks, but...
Lightning attacks didn't count!
However, in Lin Bei's eyes, this couldn't be considered his attack being nullified. Greed appeared on his face, and he frantically absorbed the current from Bai Ye, trying to convert these currents into his own power.
However...
...
