Just as that second giant moon squeezed out of the spatial rift, Shen Ge saw a terrifying sight. In the pitch-black space behind the crack, there seemed to be countless giant spheres, very much like the ending of Men in Black 2, where the giant alien stuffed marbles like “Earth” into a pocket full of marbles.
In order to “see clearly” what was inside the rift, Shen Ge, taking advantage of the last two minutes, once again frantically poured aberration energy into “Misfortune.”
The third moon!
A true moon wholesale sale!
Shen Ge operated on the principle that even if he couldn’t smash the enemy to death, he still had to smash it unconscious. Anyway, the second shot had already been fired, so one more third shot wouldn’t make much difference!
As the third giant sphere squeezed out of the rift, Shen Ge, who had opened his aberration eye and was staring intently at the crack, finally saw the situation inside clearly this time. Sure enough, there were countless “planets.”
“Well now, could it be that ‘Misfortune’ has some kind of connection to this crack?” Shen Ge had always found it rather mysterious that pouring aberration energy into “Misfortune” could summon meteors. Now it seemed “Misfortune” was like a charging key. As long as it was fully charged, it could open this crack and summon meteors.
At this moment, as the second and third giant spheres smashed down, even with the “protection” of those two giant hands, most of the giant monstrous man’s body was smashed into the ground.
The two giant hands simply gave up on the giant monstrous man and instead used themselves to support one giant sphere each. But the impact of the giant spheres crashing down created enormous shockwaves.
Under the massive impact, the giant spheres crumbled like shattered stones, and cracks appeared on those two arms as well, spraying black liquid like waterfalls.
“Master, those black liquids have a very strong aberration energy reaction. Please be careful!” Little Seven suddenly spoke up in warning.
Even without Little Seven’s warning, Shen Ge would not let these unknown substances touch his body. So when the giant arms sprayed black liquid, he had already gathered invisible barriers to block it.
“One minute left!” Shen Ge glanced at the Silkworm’s medicinal effect. He had to use this minute wisely, either to escape the aberration’s attack range or to find a way to kill one.
If Shen Ge were like before, entering the dream world with only his consciousness, there would not be so much pressure, because after death there was a high probability of a “restart.” But so far, he had never tested what would happen if both body and consciousness entered the dream world and died together. Naturally, he did not dare try such a thing lightly.
So Shen Ge usually left himself a way out. The Silkworm’s infinite aberration energy allowed him to maintain his attribute amplification at a very strong level, so this last minute was the final chance to “retreat.”
Taking advantage of the fact that the towering giant hands and the giant monstrous man had their attention fixed on the giant spheres, Shen Ge opened his aberration eye and searched for the big fish aberration fleeing in the sky.
He had come to this chaotic space through the big fish aberration, so the best way to leave this world was still to find a way through the big fish aberration.
The simplest method was to use dream power to establish a passage to “reality” through the aberration energy on the big fish aberration.
The shockwave produced by the collision between the giant spheres and the towering giant hands shattered the invisible barriers Shen Ge had condensed. He immediately condensed another large expanse.
With the “No Escape” domain covered by infinite aberration energy, almost the entire ruined area was under his control. So condensing an invisible barrier at any location was merely a matter of a glance.
Looking at the sky-full spraying black blood and aberration energy, Shen Ge couldn’t help but sigh. If only the red mist battle armor were here to absorb it, wouldn’t that be equivalent to getting another Silkworm?
But now was clearly not the time to worry about such small matters. With hundreds of times agility amplification from his attributes, Shen Ge flickered among the invisible barriers condensed in the air, leaving afterimages behind.
Shen Ge focused and quickly swept his aberration eye across the cloud-covered sky, trying to pinpoint the exact location of the big fish aberration.
“Found it!” Although Shen Ge only sensed one source of aberration energy different from the towering giant hands and the giant monstrous man, there presumably would not be a third aberration in the sky.
However, when Shen Ge charged into the shattered sky covered in dark clouds, the scene of the dream world collapsing appeared once again, as if he had broken through the dimensions of space, moving rapidly through the torrent of time. The images in those mirror fragments flashed by like different endings.
In the images, the Earth still exploded again and again, and humanity was destroyed again and again. At this time, Shen Ge noticed that many collapsed dream worlds had come together, forming this “pieced-together” twisted world.
As the images in the sky collapsed and shattered one by one, Shen Ge wanted to see more clearly those pieced-together worlds, but obviously he did not have much time left to observe.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom!
At this moment, accompanied by loud, violent sounds, the ground continuously split open, and giant palms stretched out from underground to prop up the sky.
Dense, packed giant hands formed a “sea.” Yet no matter how hard they tried, they could not stop the sky from collapsing. More and more giant spheres smashed toward the ground.
“Misfortune” was like the key that opened Pandora’s box. Once the rift in the sky was opened, it could not be closed, causing the giant spheres inside to smash down toward the Earth one after another.
Two or three might still be withstood by those towering giant hands, but faced with giant spheres falling like a meteor shower, Shen Ge seemed to see signs of the Earth shattering.
At that moment, Shen Ge noticed the big fish aberration hiding in the dark clouds. Around its body were some glowing “stars.” These glowing fragments were all too familiar to Shen Ge.
Although he didn’t know why dream fragments would appear near the big fish aberration, since he had seen them, Shen Ge would not let these dream fragments slip by.
Using the last ten-plus seconds, Shen Ge completed his final attribute amplification. This time, he concentrated all his aberration energy into enhancing agility. Then, with the help of continuously condensed invisible barriers, he turned into an afterimage and rushed into the sky.
Little Seven quickly mapped out a route for Shen Ge. Following Little Seven’s planned route, Shen Ge continuously condensed invisible barriers and sped toward the glowing fragments.
The glowing fragments in the sky gave off a feeling of being incredibly distant, but the next second, Shen Ge had already arrived near them.
This kind of twisted space gave people a strange feeling, as if even distance could not be grasped. Things that seemed far beyond the horizon turned out to be within reach.
At this moment, these glowing fragments were only a few dozen meters away from Shen Ge. But in this sky that was impossible to tell whether it was aberration energy black mist or dark clouds, and was constantly collapsing and shattering, the figure of the big fish aberration could not be seen, as if it had completely merged into this black mist.
Shen Ge immediately released dream power and spread out his aberration domain into the air, attempting to capture the glowing fragments over a large area.
At this time, the glowing fragments were dissipating like points of starlight. At the same time, the condensed “dark clouds” also dissipated along with the starlight. Directly above was an entire “moon.”
This scene was incomparably familiar to Shen Ge. It was exactly the one he had seen the first time he used “Misfortune” to summon a moon to smash down on the aberration on the ground.
And this “moon,” hidden among the many spheres in the rift, was most different because it had a strange red glow on it.
The difference was that before, he had only seen what seemed like a red light flash across the moon and vanish. But this time, the area covered in red on the moon had clearly increased.
Shen Ge wanted to use his aberration eye to see clearly what that red area on it was, what was there. But all around him was the whooshing sound of air flowing as he sped along. With the sound of glass shattering, Shen Ge’s attention was jolted awake from the red area on the moon, and he immediately focused on capturing the surrounding glowing fragments.
Shen Ge first used dream power to break through the dimensions of space, moving rapidly through the torrent of time and quickly capturing the glowing fragments.
In the end, this world could no longer withstand the collisions of infinite giant spheres. The entire chaotic world, along with other spaces, collapsed and shattered.
While capturing the glowing fragments, Shen Ge had kept his aberration eye locked onto the aura of the big fish aberration. Although he could not see exactly where it was hiding, he could clearly sense its aura.
Now, after absorbing enough dream power, facing the collapse of the world, he naturally would not skimp on this bit of dream power. He immediately tried to establish a connection with “reality.”
Then, he failed.
This was the first time Shen Ge had failed to connect through an aberration “node.” Logically speaking, he had come to this chaotic space through the big fish aberration, so by consuming dream power he should also be able to establish a connection to reality through it.
The entire world was collapsing rapidly. Shen Ge felt as if he had been dragged by a huge pulling force into a pitch-black space, like being sucked into a black hole.
After that, his entire body was stretched, shortened, kneaded into a ball, flattened into paper… all kinds of bizarre transformations tortured Shen Ge.
After the Silkworm’s effect disappeared, there was very little aberration energy left in his body. This bizarre state of his body rapidly switching between weightlessness and hypergravity also made it impossible for him to take out a mental apple to replenish his aberration energy.
Being unable to connect to “reality” meant Shen Ge could not escape this bizarre state. In less than a minute at most, he would be torn apart by this strange space!
At this critical moment, Shen Ge suddenly realized that although he could not find the connection point to “reality,” his dream power had been bound to the coordinates of that dream fragment in the Dajing Shelter!
Thinking of this, Shen Ge immediately tried to establish a connection with that coordinate point. But the moment he released dream power, it felt as if a tremendous suction force in the endless darkness was continuously drawing away his power.
“Ah—”
“Ah!!!”
Shen Ge felt as if his body was about to be torn apart and his consciousness about to be drained dry. This bone-piercing pain was driving him crazy.
Fortunately, at this moment he finally captured the aura of the dream fragment in the Dajing Shelter. At the instant before he lost consciousness, he wrapped himself in his aberration domain.
Bang!
With a loud crash, Shen Ge fell heavily to the ground. As his consciousness faded, he seemed to feel himself smash through a roof, knock down a pile of miscellaneous things, and then hear chaotic noises, with figures gradually gathering around.
Shen Ge had originally wanted to spread out his aberration domain and release invisible barriers to block those people, but the aberration energy in his body had been drained dry. He simply could not do it.
Moreover, his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred. The blurry figures before his eyes were increasing. Faintly, he seemed to hear someone calling his name.
But before Shen Ge could see clearly who had come, he lost consciousness.
He did not know how long he had been unconscious. Shen Ge heard someone calling his name. This voice was very familiar, like Cheng Shengnan, or some woman he knew.
“Shen Ge.”
“Shen Ge.”
As these calls became clearer and clearer, Shen Ge slowly opened his eyes. The short-haired Fang Mingyue’s face gradually became clear before him, calling his name.
Only then did Shen Ge realize he was lying in a hospital room: white ceiling, hospital bed, IV bottle, and Fang Mingyue, who was holding one of his hands and anxiously calling his name, asking about his condition.
“Shen Ge? You’re awake? Are you okay?” Fang Mingyue stood up and raised a hand to feel Shen Ge’s forehead temperature, asking with concern all over her face.
Shen Ge was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, “What happened to me?”
Fang Mingyue said, “Two weeks ago, you suddenly fell from the sky and smashed through the industrial zone under construction at Base 2. The workers there immediately reported the situation to the city defense team. Among the soldiers sent to seal off the scene, some recognized you, so they immediately contacted the new council and the exploration team, and then transferred you to the medical department.”
“The doctor detected that your body was very weak and that you had suffered severe injuries all over. So they treated your wounds and observed you for about a week. Although your body was gradually recovering, you kept running a high fever… It only subsided last night.”
“Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Why don’t I go find a doctor to come in and examine you?”
Hearing this, Shen Ge frowned slightly. “I was unconscious for two weeks? During this time, has there been any change in the sky? Also, regarding the intelligence I previously gave to Minister Deng, did you send people to find that seventh-rank aberration? Why is Base 2 still under construction? You’re not planning to relocate?”
Although he had been unconscious for two weeks, successfully locking onto the coordinates here and transferring himself over was already incredibly lucky. This feeling of surviving a disaster was something Shen Ge had not experienced in a long time.
But what surprised Shen Ge was that after he had given Deng Yuqi a detailed analysis of that seventh-rank aberration’s situation, the shelter had not chosen to evacuate. Instead, they continued building Base 2. If that seventh-rank aberration ever wandered over, destroying the entire shelter would be a matter of a single kick.
Fang Mingyue hadn’t expected that the first thing Shen Ge did after waking up was not care about his own body, but about their safety. She was instantly deeply moved. “Don’t worry. The situation you mentioned—Minister Deng is already discussing an evacuation plan with the new council. Oh, we established a new council, managed by the leaders of three divisions: the city defense team, the exploration team, and the aberration hunting team. The former council is imprisoned at Base 1, the shelter.”
Worried?
Do I look worried?
Shen Ge didn’t understand how Fang Mingyue could tell he was “worried,” nor did he understand the worship and admiration in her eyes. He had seen this look many times on the “real” Fang Mingyue, so it was not unfamiliar at all.
But how had this world’s Fang Mingyue been infected too?
