That deep, dark shadow, like an eternal, unyielding ice, made Lin Yi feel as if his very soul was being frozen and seen through, simply by "gazing" at it.
At this moment, the spacetime power within him also experienced an unprecedented sense of stagnation, as if it were being naturally suppressed by some higher-level power.
"How dare you, ants, peek into divine might?" A vague yet majestic thought resounded not through sound, but directly from the depths of everyone's soul, carrying an unquestionable sense of judgment.
Xuan Mingzi's face was ashen as he muttered, "It's over... It's a direct messenger of 'Source'... This level of existence is simply beyond our reach..." His words were filled with endless despair, and even his disguise as the game's mastermind was completely torn apart, revealing deep fear.
The Night Owl, whose head was about to be shattered after being targeted by the group, was now bathed in the shadowy dark energy, and his injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His shattered tentacle head reformed, gleaming with an even deeper, more sinister light. His face revealed a mixture of ecstatic relief and extreme smugness: "Hahahaha! Do you see that? This is true power! Before the 'Messenger,' you are all but dust!"
He arrogantly looked around, his venomous gaze sweeping over Lin Yi, Su Qing, Long Wu, and the others, as if he could already foresee their tragic end.
"Lin Yi! Aren't you very capable? Isn't your Time and Space Domination very strong? Now, try and do something else!"
The mysterious figure, or rather the "messenger," ignored the owl's clamor.
It seems to have no interest in these so-called "battles" or "grudges".
It slowly emerged from behind the owl, each step seeming to resonate with the heartbeats of everyone present.
There was no earth-shattering energy eruption, but as it approached, the entire battlefield space began to distort, and the laws of nature seemed to groan, as if they could not bear its very existence.
The cold, indifferent "gaze" swept over Lin Yi and the others again, like a god looking down on a group of insects about to be crushed.
Suddenly, the "messenger" seemed to grow impatient. It casually raised a "hand" made of pure shadow and waved it lightly in the direction of Lin Yi and the others.
There was no earth-shattering roar, nor any devastating light.
But with this seemingly casual wave, an indescribable, incomprehensible, and irresistible terrifying power instantly spread out!
That wasn't just a simple energy impact; it was more like an erasure at the level of rules!
"boom--!"
The outermost members of the Time Legion and some slower-reacting job changers, their newly assembled offensive, melted away instantly in the face of this power, like ice and snow under the sun!
Their skills, their shields, and even the weapons in their hands, all silently transformed into the most primitive particles and dissipated into the air.
Dozens of job changers didn't even have time to scream before they were grazed by this force and their bodies were instantly annihilated, leaving not even a trace!
"Pfft!" The dragon energy shield in front of Long Wu shattered instantly. He was struck as if by a heavy hammer, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned deathly pale.
The starlight barrier that Su Qing had created only lasted for less than half a second before collapsing. She groaned and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
The shadowy figure was so shocked that it fell out of the shadows, its aura weakened.
"Too strong... This is no match for someone from another dimension!" Long Wu gritted his teeth.
Lin Yi's pupils contracted sharply. He clearly sensed that the opponent's attack was not simply an overwhelming force of energy, but contained a "destruction" law that he could not yet comprehend.
One's own "absolute stillness" is probably ineffective in front of the other party.
This is a real attack from a higher dimension!
But Lin Yi was not one to sit idly by and wait for his death!
The more critical the situation, the more his fighting spirit boiled!
"Chu Yao! Highest priority, analyze the opponent's energy composition and behavior pattern! Find the weakness, even the slightest one!" Lin Yi issued the command to Chu Yao in his mind, his tone more solemn than ever before.
"Understood, sir! We are analyzing with all our might... Warning! The opponent's energy level far exceeds the database records! The success rate of analysis is extremely low! Currently, its attack pattern is observed to be inclined towards large-scale law annihilation, and no obvious energy fluctuation patterns have been found yet..." Chu Yao's voice also carried a hint of urgency, clearly indicating that the power of this mysterious messenger had exceeded her computing limits.
"There's no time left!" Lin Yi took a deep breath, and the power of the origin of spacetime within his body was pushed to its limit at this moment. A pale golden light emanated from his body, with runes faintly flowing around him, forcibly opening a crack in the spacetime around him that was almost frozen due to the pressure of the "messenger".
"Su Qing, use starlight guidance to disrupt its perception! Long Wu, use your dragon might to help me limit its range of movement! Shadow, find any possible weaknesses!" Lin Yi gave orders at lightning speed. "Time Legion, all ranged units, attack freely, saturate the area, don't be stingy with your energy! Melee units, protect the ranged units, be ready to provide support at any time!"
Despite the enemy's overwhelming power, Lin Yi's voice carried a strange, calming quality.
Although the "faith link" fluctuated violently under the pressure of the mysterious messenger, it was not completely severed.
Upon hearing Lin Yi's instructions, the remaining job changers and members of the Time Legion seemed to have found their backbone, suppressing their fear and reorganizing.
Su Qing gritted her teeth, and the star mark on her forehead suddenly lit up. Starlight rained down again, but instead of forming a barrier, it turned into countless tiny specks of light, swirling around the mysterious messenger like stardust, trying to confuse its senses.
Long Wu roared, unleashing the remaining power of his true dragon bloodline without reservation. A golden dragon shadow appeared behind him, emitting a soul-shaking dragon roar, attempting to influence the laws of that area with his dragon might.
The shadowy figure once again blended into the shadows, like a true ghost, roaming the edge of the battlefield.
"The struggle of ants is meaningless." The mysterious messenger's thoughts echoed again, still as cold and indifferent as ever.
It seemed to feel a little "displeased" with Lin Yi and the others' resistance, perhaps because it felt that these insects were too noisy.
It raised its shadowy hand again, this time with its five fingers slightly spread, aiming at the core area where Lin Yi and the others were located.
A more terrifying and suffocating wave than before began to gather.
The surrounding space groaned under the strain, and fine black cracks appeared out of thin air around his palm, as if the whole world was about to be crushed by this grip!
"Not good!" Alarm bells rang in Lin Yi's mind. This strike was more concentrated and more terrifying than the previous wave of his hand!
Never try to take it head-on!
"Now!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yi grabbed Su Qing beside him, while simultaneously locking his mental power onto Long Wu and the shadowy figure, his spacetime power surging wildly within him!
"Space-time... teleportation!"
At the critical moment, just as the mysterious messenger's all-destroying attack was about to land, the figures of Lin Yi and the other three suddenly became illusory, rippling like water, and instantly disappeared from the spot!
"BOOM—!!!"
Almost at the same instant they disappeared, a jet-black beam of energy, seemingly capable of devouring all light, shot out from the mysterious messenger's palm and struck precisely the spot where Lin Yi and the others had been standing!
The earth collapsed instantly, and a bottomless crater appeared out of thin air. Everything around the edge of the crater, whether it was soil, rocks, or the remnants of the previous battle, was completely annihilated the moment it came into contact with the black beam of light, without even a speck of dust being raised!
Dozens of meters away, Lin Yi appeared, staggering, with Su Qing, Long Wu, and the shadowy figure. His face was as pale as paper, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Clearly, the continuous use of high-intensity spacetime power had greatly exhausted him.
Looking at the terrifying crater, all the survivors felt a wave of fear, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
If Lin Yi hadn't reacted quickly, they probably would have already...
However, before they could catch their breath, the mysterious messenger's "gaze" locked onto them once again.
It seemed to show no emotion at missing its target; it simply raised its "hand" again slowly.
An even stronger sense of oppression surged in like a tide. This time, its movements seemed faster, and the brewing attack seemed even more swift.
One wave subsides, another rises!
True despair seems to have only just begun to spread!
Lin Yi and the others have been driven into a desperate situation!
