The Ghoul Containment Facility, the lowest level!
Boom!
Kami Shiro Xa Rong leaped up, then plummeted from the sky. With a forceful stomp of his foot on the ground, a thunderous roar erupted, and the earth was shattered by the kick.
Amidst the dust, Bai Ye quickly ascended into the air. His enormous wings unfurled, and a cascade of fire feathers rained down.
Kami Shiro Xa Rong moved with extreme speed, dodging through the fire feathers, evading all attacks.
Then…
A punch was thrown!
However, this time Bai Ye showed no intention of dodging.
Sizzle!
Kami Shiro Xa Rong’s fist struck Bai Ye's chest. His body staggered, and he passed right through Bai Ye.
Close combat techniques?
This was actually what Bai Ye feared the least. Pure physical attacks were useless against the elementalization of the Thunder-Thunder Fruit.
However, Bai Ye was quite interested in "comprehensive combat skills that surpassed human limits," so he decided to try it out.
The result proved…
It was indeed quite formidable!
But since he had tasted its flavor, it was time to end it all.
Kami Shiro Xa Rong’s face still held a look of surprise, clearly not understanding what had happened. But Bai Ye had no intention of giving him much time to ponder.
Sizzle!
In an instant, a vast amount of electricity surged from Bai Ye.
The current slid along the ground, and crackling arcs of electricity, like waves, surged rapidly towards Kami Shiro Xa Rong.
Kami Shiro Xa Rong retreated quickly, only to discover it wasn't just the ground.
Numerous arcs of electricity also appeared in the air around him, converging towards him.
Kami Shiro Xa Rong’s gaze sharpened. Suddenly, a large number of blood-red ghoul kagune bubbles appeared behind him, forming a tail-like appendage resembling a whale.
Bang!
The tail struck the ground forcefully, and Kami Shiro Xa Rong leaped into the air. He grabbed the skybridge above, escaping the area covered by lightning.
"Using kagune now?"
Bai Ye looked up, but at this moment…

…
Suddenly, a light screen appeared before Bai Ye, displaying information about the opening of numerous restricted zones.
What's going on?
Bai Ye was completely bewildered.
According to the information on the screen, a large number of restricted zones had opened in this area.
But…
Bai Ye was currently inside a restricted zone!
Therefore, even if new restricted zones opened, it shouldn't concern Bai Ye, nor should he have received a notification.
Even if, for the sake of argument, notifications were sent within restricted zones.
However, the restricted zones within the ghoul areas forcibly teleported participants within a three-kilometer radius. These newly opened restricted zones could absolutely not be near the Ghoul Containment Facility, right?
However, Bai Ye’s confusion didn't last long before it was resolved.
"Due to all restricted zones within the ghoul area being opened, a large-scale restricted zone – Ghoul Riot – has been triggered."
"All participants located within the spiritual ghoul area will be within the restricted zone."
"The duration of the restricted zone is six hours. After six hours, the spiritual ghoul area will be completely closed. Participants must leave within the specified time limit. Failure to leave the area within the specified time limit will be at your own risk."
"The number of participants who can leave the spiritual ghoul area is: 10% of the total number of participants currently in the area (once the number reaches the limit, participants cannot leave even if within the time limit)."
"First participant to leave the spiritual ghoul area, Reward: One random gold-quality item of specified category."
"Top ten participants to leave the spiritual ghoul area, Reward: One random gold-quality item."
"Top fifty participants to leave the spiritual ghoul area, Reward: One random red-quality item."
"Participants who successfully leave the spiritual ghoul area, Reward: One random black-quality item."
"Defeat the Special Class Ghoul Investigator, the undefeated ghoul investigator – Kousuke Arima, Reward: One random gold-quality item."
"Defeat the Director of the Ghoul Investigator Organization, CCG – Furuta Nimura, Reward: One random gold-quality item."
"Defeat the SS-rated Ghoul – One-Eyed Owl, Reward: One random gold-quality item."
"Defeat the SS-rated Ghoul – The Owl That Doesn't Kill, Reward: One random gold-quality item."
"Defeat the SS-rated Ghoul – Ken Kaneki (Dragon Form), Reward: One random gold-quality item of specified category."
…
In an instant, the light screen before Bai Ye was instantly filled, and Bai Ye froze there.
A large-scale restricted zone just opened?
No, how could a large-scale restricted zone open now?
Bai Ye was a little frantic. The progress was wrong!
The world battlefield had been open for only about a year and a half at most, transitioning from its early to its mid-stage.
If one were more precise, the world battlefield's mid-stage was the longest period. This phase could be considered early to mid-stage.
The opening of a large-scale restricted zone could be considered a transition period, a shift from the mid-to-late stage to the late stage of the world battlefield.
This could be seen from the items produced by large-scale restricted zones; they directly offered gold-quality items!
Even the "consolation prize" for successfully leaving the restricted zone was a black-quality item.
But was this a good thing?
It seemed like a good thing, even enough to make one ecstatic, after all, it could produce gold-quality items, and in large quantities.
In reality…
It might not be a good thing at all!
Because…
Many people would truly die!
Many, many people!
