Chapter 49 is about an undercover agent.
On the outskirts of Gotham, at the temporary camp of the Sky Eye Society.
At the foot of the mountain, a row of tents was erected, one next to another, lined up neatly in an array. The fabric was mainly dark black, almost blending into the darkness of Gotham.
Soldiers in combat uniforms moved about the camp, and various sounds emanated from different tents. Trucks were constantly transporting various equipment and instruments into the camp, which were quickly deployed under unified command.
Not long ago, the SkyEye branch base stationed in Gotham City became a battlefield for unidentified aliens. The battle caused SkyEye considerable losses, with the entire base almost blown to pieces. But that also convinced headquarters that Gotham might be involved in an alien event, so they quickly dispatched personnel to establish this temporary camp.
Dale Smith strode across the camp to his makeshift office. He entered, flipped his hand, and a hazy black mist billowed from his palm, sealing the entrance like a black fog.
It was a simple spell that could restrict entry and exit through any door.
After being restrained, he sat down behind the desk, his facial muscles stiff and expressionless. Darkness flashed in his eyes, and a cloud of black mist emerged from behind him, transforming into the form of a hideous demonic spirit.
Amonhot, a demon, is currently one of the executives of the demon forces operating near Gotham.
It had clearly possessed Dale Smith of the Sky Eye Society. After it left his body and floated away, the possessed man's head lolled to the side, and he immediately lost consciousness.
The demonic spirit extended its chaotic claws, gently tracing them through the air. A layer of magic emanated from its palm, drifting into the air and transforming into a circle, forming an image as smooth as a mirror.
At first, it was pitch black, but soon an image was reflected. The face of the owl demon appeared at the edge of the darkness.
"Finally remembered to contact you? Demon Amenhote." The owl demon on the other end looked somewhat displeased.
The demon spirit Amenhot said dryly, "The organization has been quite busy lately, with a lot of things going on. I have several tasks to follow up on at the same time, so I really can't find the time."
"Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?" the owl demon said, even more annoyed. "You're starting to sound like a human lackey. You're always busy working for that so-called 'Sky Eye,' never showing up for meetings, and never contacting them on time."
"You haven't really forgotten who you are, have you?"
"This wasn't my choice. I just took a nap in the middle of a meeting, and when I came to, you all unanimously approved my assignment to infiltrate the human population."
They said it would be three years, but three years turned into another three years, and now I'm about to be transferred out of Gotham to their headquarters.
"Alright, stop complaining. Now's your chance to shine," the owl spirit interrupted. "That human 'Sky Eye Society' has a lot of eyes and ears, and they have special methods for searching large areas. And now they're also interested in that 'Ultraman' who's always getting in our way."
If all goes well, we can incite and utilize human power to deal with him.
"I know, we're already trying," Amenhote sighed, "but their progress isn't going well either. That Ultraman is elusive, and the Sky Eye is still completely in the dark."
"I know. Anyway, keep in touch, and let me know as soon as there's any progress, okay?"
The owl demon's expression changed slightly, as if it had discovered something.
"What's wrong?"
"My detection magic has detected something—something incredibly fast," the owl spirit said, a hint of surprise in its voice. "Such speed! From this direction...it seems to be preparing to attack you!"
"Attack me?"
Amenhotep showed a hint of doubt, but quickly sneered.
"Ha, interesting. Daring to attack my Amenhote camp, it's asking for trouble. Whoever it is, it's doomed. I said it."
After saying that, without waiting for a reply, he casually waved his hand, and the mirror-like black circle in front of him vanished into thin air.
The magical connection was severed. The owl spirit on the other end of the communication opened its mouth, hesitated, and didn't have time to say something.
What does "my camp in Amenhote" mean?
Has this guy really forgotten that he's an undercover agent?
Amenhotep absorbed back into Dale Smith's body, merging into it. Dale, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, his head, which had been slumped to the side, snapped back to its upright position with a crisp cracking sound.
He stood up, released himself from his restraints, and strode out of the tent, ready to see which fearless group dared to trespass on his territory.
However, he never expected this at that moment.
Next, he witnessed a scene that he would likely never forget in his long demonic life.
A god among men.
Amidst the darkness shrouding the mountains, lightning suddenly struck from within the rolling black clouds. The azure flash of lightning briefly illuminated the sky and also revealed a tall, slender figure in black.
a woman.
Wearing a uniquely styled black jumpsuit, with her long hair flowing, she floated in mid-air among the dark clouds, a fleeting flash of lightning illuminating the striking "S" on her chest.
The next moment, she swooped down.
The speed was breathtaking. A transparent shockwave exploded behind her, as if it were a continuous, instantaneous teleportation with no cooldown, and several afterimages flashed past the still-dazed Sky Eye agents.
With dull thuds as flesh was struck, three to five Sky Eye agents were sent flying backward by the heavy blows. One of them was even lifted off the ground by the collar by a woman, soaring more than twenty meters into the air in a fraction of a second before being thrown down at an even faster speed.
The poor soldier was instantly smashed into a bloody mess, turning into a pile of rotten flesh with his internal organs pulverized.
"Enemy attack!"
The Sky Eye warriors immediately snapped out of their daze and hurriedly drew their guns to return fire. Bullets rained down on the woman from all sides, but to no avail. The woman let the bullets bounce off her body and fall to the ground, deliberately standing still and smiling contemptuously, as if mocking their futile attempts.
Three seconds later, she moved again.
It was another flash so fast it was almost invisible; the Sky Eye warriors were instantly scattered in a flurry of motion. A black afterimage, like a cannonball, pierced through the base, crashing into a turret despite the heavy fire. The steel turret snapped in half, the upper half of which the woman effortlessly lifted with one hand, casually tossing it down, smashing several tents before exploding with a deafening roar.
The woman's body passed through the flames of the explosion and landed gracefully in front of Dale Smith—the demon Amenhote.
"Are you in charge here? Pass on a message to your boss," the woman said lazily.
"Yes, no problem." Demon Spirit nodded.

The moment the demon spirit saw this woman's figure, which resembled a war goddess, killing anyone who stood in her way, all his previous heroic spirit vanished.
Suddenly it dawned on me, I'm an undercover agent, why am I risking my life?
That's a wolf in sheep's clothing; I can't afford to mess with him.
"You killed our men and took one of us hostage."
"If you know what's good for you, hand over the girl immediately. Once we have her, we'll leave this planet immediately, and we can let bygones be bygones for what happened before."
The woman raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.
"Did you remember?"
"I've got it." The demon nodded.
"Alright." The woman nodded in satisfaction, her figure slowly rising into the air. "Then remember, make sure you deliver the message. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Okay, take care," Dell said politely.
The woman suddenly accelerated, leaving a sonic boom as she disappeared into the night.
Dale waved in the direction she disappeared, then turned to see the agents around him looking at him strangely.
He snapped irritably, "What are you looking at? Get back to headquarters right now!"
