“The target is called Ye Kong, originally a member of the 5th domain D.E.R division’s Disaster Team. He is the holder of the [Building Collapse] Authority, grade D. However, due to his excessive use during the past few days, his Authority might have already been promoted”
“He’s currently hiding within the 6th domain and will most likely try to exercise his Authority again to continue promoting himself” all relevant members of the 6th domain’s D.E.R division were in a meeting.
Even the Disaster King Fang Ze and Negary had been summoned here.
〖 A survivor of the Yue Bu earthquake? 〗Negary flipped through Ye Kong’s profile.
Just like Seven, Ye Kong was a lucky survivor from the Yue Bu earthquake disaster. It was also during that incident that he obtained his [Building Collapse] Authority, after which he received training from the D.E.R division that rescued him and became a member of their Disaster Team.
And in truth, there were quite a few people who had the same background, like the girl called Liu Shi who was standing behind the Disaster King, she was also a lucky survivor of that incident.
The Yue Bu earthquake disaster turned many people into orphans, the majority of whom were brought to orphanages under the D.E.R division’s management. If they were willing to, they would undergo training and become a member of the D.E.R division after they grew up.
There were a total of 12 people who obtained Authorities from that earthquake, 5 of whom were orphans who all later went on to join the D.E.R division.
Among them, Ye Kong was someone who obtained a relatively powerful Authority, as it was determined by the grade D. During this time serving in the 5th domain, he was regarded as an excellent subordinate and hard worker.
But everything changed after a certain failed mission. At the time, Ye Kong had just successfully proposed to his fellow Disaster Team member Gao Yan at their team’s favorite hangout, thus planting a death flag right before their last mission leading up to their wedding.
However, Ye Kong wasn’t the one who died, but instead, it was his fiancée Gao Yan. The specifics of the case were largely unknown, only that Ye Kong’s mental state became unstable after that event and that he had started to secretly use his Disaster Authority to promote it.
After he was found out, another member of the Disaster Team, Li Xuan Ye, tried to stop him, then was killed by Ye Kong. Currently, Ye Kong had become even more insane, he no longer held anything back and madly utilized his Disaster Authority, causing the nation-wide building collapsing event during this occasion.
“Then, do you need any help?” Fang Ze asked in a low voice, despite being in the same room as Negary, he didn’t display any hostility.
“Yes. According to our estimation, his Authority should have already reached grade E, furthermore, as he was a combatant before he went rogue, he has considerably formidable fighting prowess. If he’s left to continue using his Authority as he pleases, he would most likely become a Disaster King”
〖 When [Building Collapse] is promoted to a grade F Disaster King, would it simply cause more buildings to collapse? 〗Negary was very interested in this Authority promotion, purely because of how rare it was. The only relatively famous one was the Authority Holder who caused the Yue Bu earthquake disaster from trying to promote his [Earthquake] Authority to [Continental Sinking].
“Not necessarily, as long as there are relations, there are possibilities of a promotion” a scholarly-looking old man with a silver beard answered him: “Many Authorities are in fact related to each other, for example, an earthquake would also cause disasters such as collapsed buildings as well as various others”

“Solar flares from the surface of the sun can cause power outage, loss of Wi-Fi and similar issues. When an Authority gets promoted, as long as the Holder is exercising their Authority, they would be able to cause their Authority to promote towards any related disasters”
“In accordance with the Management Act, during a time of crisis, we can request Authority Holders like yourselves to aid the D.E.R division. Naturally, there would be appropriate compensation for your troubles” Chang Xia said as he looked at the people in the room, they were all registered Authority Holders currently living in the 6th domain.
Of course, they wouldn’t bother to summon Authority Holders with grade A and B Disasforce who were no good in battle. The sheer difference in Disasforce alone would make this a suicide mission for them. In large-scale operations like these, those people would only refuse participation either way.
Because of that, only three people were actually being requested to join, the new Disaster King, Fang Ze; the otherworld invader, Wang Yuan; and another grade D Authority Holder, [Arson].
“I won’t participate” the [Arson] Authority Holder spoke up first, he was wearing a cap with a face full of burns, speaking in a low voice: “I don’t have any fighting experience, and my life has only just settled down again, I don’t want to get involved into these matters”
“I understand” Chang Xia sighed.
Not everyone was a fighter, and not everyone loved to fight. The [Arson] Authority Holder lost his son in a fire and had only just escaped from the shadow of his trauma recently to begin a new life; it was natural that he didn’t want to get involved in such danger.
“You can contact me at any time, I’ll come over with my people” Fang Ze didn’t refuse, since he enjoyed many benefits by being a Disaster King, it was natural for him to also take up the responsibilities of being one.
〖 My work has been quite busy recently. If I have time, I will participate 〗Negary casually glossed things over and left the meeting room. If this was a novel or manga, this Ye Kong character was surely a villain.
Fang Ze was the one who needed to get rid of him, Negary’s appearance there would be for nothing but the sake of recording data, namely drafting the model for the [Protagonist Aura] and information regarding Disaster Authorities in general.
〖 He Qiao’s situation has basically stabilized, but with the trend of the current data, it would be impossible for her soul to adapt to the speed of its change, the Disasforce’s modification of her soul will slowly stagnate and reach a bottleneck 〗
〖 There is a limit to how much the soul can change, and if her situation continues, her soul’s adaptation would thoroughly stop, followed by the total destruction of her soul by Disasforce 〗from Negary’s calculation, nobody’s soul would be able to handle that change, it wasn’t a problem of He Qiao alone.
〖 Without any unexpected changes, in three days, He Qiao will begin to show various symptoms like headaches, hallucinations, and drowsiness. After 10 days, her soul would be drawn out by [Respiratory Art] and then destroyed completely by Disasforce 〗
〖 If no unique opportunities appear during that time, He Qiao will surely die 〗Negary’s eyes flickered, he was still looking for ways to somehow change this situation, but his calculation ability obviously had reached its limit. He might be able to come up with a solution, but it would require long-term experiments. With Negary’s current reserve of knowledge, he couldn’t come up with a solution to resolve the issue of the soul in a short time period.
In truth, several of his experimental specimens had already lost their lives, even if Negary trusted in the power of the [Protagonist Aura], he wouldn’t foolishly put all of his eggs in just He Qiao, other than her, there were about a dozen other people who volunteered for the same experiment due to a promise of wealth or various other benefits.
But now, He Qiao included, out of the 17 specimens within this experiment, one person had already lost their life due to a certain mutation.
〖 This incident might actually be an opportunity instead 〗
Negary thought to himself, otherwise, after He Qiao died, he would have to prepare to fight with Fang Ze again.
