I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

Inside of the Hunter Association's main headquarters, the management team in charge of maintaining Hunter World's smooth operation was suddenly alerted by an ethereal voice, "A problem has appeared in Section BC-BA12205."

The ethereal voice belonged to a female—at least by the sound of it.

However, there was no emotion in her voice, and it came directly from the monitoring screens in front of the management team.

"Huh? A problem in Section BC-BA12205? It has been a while since the last problem popped up..." A male commented with surprise before asking, "I wonder what the problem is this time?"

"Section BC-BA12205 should be in the Beginner City's region... Please show us what is happening in the area, Impartial Goddess," The female personnel made a request to the female AI in charge of micro-managing everything inside of Hunter World.

Shortly after, the screens all changed to the battle royale on the King of the Hill map in section BC-BA12205.

"Serious Punch!"

"Serious Kick!"

"Monkey Steal the Peaches!"

"Toe Crusher!"

Immediately, the entire management team overheard the string of words while hundreds of participants screamed before getting slaughtered with each series of attacks.

"T-This... isn't this supposed to be the Beginner City Area? Are all newbies so frightening these days?!" The male personnel quickly exclaimed with shock.

"Newcomers aren't always fresh Hunters." The female personnel frowned before saying, "They could be veterans that only decided to join the Hunter World late. Still, this person is far too strong, even for a veteran Hunter."

"Right, he has to be at least an A-ranker to be able to decimate the participants like—"

Boom!

A large patch of land was shifted from the wind pressure generated from Albion's fist, causing the male personnel to pause with wide eyes.

"What the hell! Who the heck is this person?! Even S-rankers like the King Hunters and Emperors might not necessarily be this strong!"

The male personnel was greatly startled before inquiring, "What's the user's ID and power level, Impartial Goddess?"

"The user's ID is TheStrongestWizard. The person's power level is fluctuating between 100-thousand to an unknown upper limit. Here is the user's relevant information," The Impartial Goddess responded impassively.

"What?! 100-thousand points to an unknown upper limit?! Even the Emperor's power levels only measure around the 25-thousand point mark! Now I have no doubt there is a problem with this person."

"The power level system is the most accurate measurement of Hunter's strength available to us, and it can only be done inside the Hunter World. There shouldn't be any large fluctuation!"

As the male personnel spoke, the female personnel perused the relevant information shown by the Impartial Goddess on screen before she raised an eyebrow.

"A newly ascended level 5 account that hasn't even made for longer than three days? This person is too audacious. Do you remember the self-hypnotism trick that fooled the system previously?"

After the female personnel reminded, the male personnel exclaimed with bright eyes, "Of course! Not only the power system but the entire virtual space of Hunter World is built upon data..."

"If a Hunter can hypnotize himself into believing he is strong as a god, that kind of information would be fed to Hunter World and buff the person into such an existence. However, I thought this problem has already been fixed?"

"Maybe this person found a loophole around it or has an incredibly powerful mind-ability to overwrite the system's transmitted information?" The female personnel made a guess.

"That might just be the case." The male personnel nodded before stating, "Either way, this person is a cheater. His qualification and account must be removed. But before that, we should hand this over to the Soul Inspector to remove the person from the Hunter World's server first."

"Agreed. The Soul Inspector can invade the person's mind to validate the truth before passing appropriate judgment. Please inform the Soul Inspector to inspect the target, Impartial Goddess," The female personnel requested.

"Understood."

...

Ding!

<Remaining participants: 8,635>

"Ahhh!"

The surviving participants continued to cry while getting exterminated by Albion's land-changing blows, turning the grassy hill into brown mashed-up soil.

"He is too strong! We don't have a chance of winning at all!"

"This wizard too barbaric! What kind of wizard has such insane brute strength anyway?!"

As the surviving participants felt despair seeping into their hearts, Albion chased after them like they were playing a game of cat and mouse.

"Hahaha, just gather up and let me finish you all in one fell swoop! That way, we can end the match quickly—"

Suddenly, Albion froze on the spot without a single movement, expression, and all like his network had just disconnected.

His virtual body remained on the King of the Hill map, but his mind was transferred elsewhere forcibly by an unknown force.

In the next moment, he found himself in an enclosed white room with a blindfolded old monk seated in meditation.

"Dafuq? Why am I here?" Albion furrowed his brows with questions before asking the old monk, "Did you bring me here, Old Man?"

"That's right!" The blindfolded old man stood up and waltz over to Albion with an intimidating presence.

Nevertheless, Albion was not fazed and nonchalantly asked, "Why?"

"To seek the truth from your soul!"

The old man made his move abruptly by lifting his blindfold before two rays of light shot out from his eyes.

In an instance, Albion felt like someone had just invaded the private space of his mind and gained access to all his memory.

"Kukuku, so that's how it is... Hahaha! This is an incredible discovery! The almighty Dark Emperor actually died and had his body possessed by such a weak soul!"

After reading through Albion's memories, the Soul Inspector suddenly laughed manically before his gaze flickered with greed and forgot his initial objective for spying on Albion's mind.

"A weak runt like you do not deserve such a perfect body! It should belong to me instead! You can go die, kid! I am wiping out your soul and taking over the Dark Emperor's body!"

The Soul Inspector immediately dived straight into the deepest depths of Albion's mind, where the core of his being rests.

However, he suddenly alerted the 10th Tribulation Lightning that coiled around his soul core and held it hostage.

"Huh? W-What is this thing?!" The Soul Inspector was quickly shocked by the dangerous presence lurking in the depths of Albion's before he cried, "No, no! Get away from me—Uwahhhhh!!!"

The Soul Inspector's invasive soul was instantly annihilated into nihility by the 10th Tribulation Lightning, followed by the person's virtual body disintegrated right in front of Albion's eyes.

"..."

Albion was left alone in the white space with a bit of speechlessness and silence.

Going near his own soul core was something he did not dare to do due to the 10th Tribulation Lightning's presence.

"I guess that old monk must have experienced quite the shock, huh?—No pun intended, though," Albion muttered comically with an amused expression.

So long as he had the 10th Tribulation Lightning coiled around his soul core, he was not concerned that someone could erase his soul and take over his body—even if they were another True Immortal.

"Seems like I need to learn some defensive soul skills to protect my memories from being read by others...."
