Shen Ge’s idea was to make the scene as chaotic as possible. At the very least, he couldn’t let those two top-tier aberrations fight smoothly. Once they decided a winner, either one of them could easily finish him off.
What’s more, Shen Ge only had seven minutes of his “cheat” time left. Once the “Silkworm” stopped working, it would be even harder for him to interfere in a battle of this level.
At this point, the giant monstrous man had gone completely mad, determined to shatter the entire world. While Shen Ge interfered, he also had to consider his own safety. So he first spread out the “No Escape” aberration domain as much as possible, and the expanded domain instantly covered all the ruins within sight.
Step one was completed: covering the area with the “No Escape” domain. Step two was condensing invisible barriers. Every place Shen Ge stepped became an invisible platform. With his constantly increasing agility, he flickered several times and turned into afterimages. The next second, he had already appeared in the shattered sky.
“Misfortune Aberration Domain!” After reaching the sky, Shen Ge began frantically releasing aberration energy into the trait “Misfortune,” unleashing the power of disaster.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds—
Shen Ge kept pouring aberration energy into “Misfortune.” This was different from the previous fight against the Shattered World, when the “Silkworm’s” duration had been about to end. This time, he had relatively plenty of time to channel energy.
As Shen Ge continuously fed aberration energy into “Misfortune,” a massive rift appeared in the sky. Then the rift grew larger and larger, turning into an enormous opening.
After that, Shen Ge witnessed for the second time the scene he would never forget in his life. A giant “moon” burst out from the rift and crashed down toward the giant monstrous man below.
The giant monstrous man seemed to sense the terrifying aberration energy released by the giant sphere, but its intelligence was not enough to make it choose to flee. Instead, it raised both hands, intending to catch the giant sphere.
The last time Shen Ge fought the Shattered World, a sentient Earth had stretched two enormous hands out from underground. Either one of those giant hands was bigger than the giant monstrous man before him. So at this moment, under the shadow of the “moon,” the giant monstrous man looked extremely “tiny.”
Boom!
The giant monstrous man “caught” the falling sphere, but the next second, its body began collapsing as if struck by tremendous force. Then the ground began to collapse as well.
In an instant, the entire ground of ruins was shattered and caved in. The giant monstrous man supporting the enormous sphere was also continuously falling, sinking into the earth.
At that moment, accompanied by thunderous sounds of collapse, the cracks in the land beneath the giant monstrous man grew larger and larger. Those familiar “mutated Earth giant hands” appeared again. One hand seized the giant monstrous man, while the other propped up the giant sphere falling from the sky.
“?”
Holy crap?
Old Mother Earth, why are you showing up to steal the spotlight again?
Shen Ge obviously hadn’t expected that a terrifying strike released merely to “cause chaos” would actually provoke those terrifying giant hands hidden underground again. But this also showed from another angle that when this giant sphere, summoned by the infinitely charged “Misfortune,” struck the Earth, even the Earth might struggle to withstand its terrifying power!
Shen Ge also didn’t know how the art style had suddenly turned into some Super Saiyan dominating the world anime, where every other move was destroying a planet.
But Shen Ge didn’t want to blow up a planet. His original plan had simply been to find the hidden monstrous man through that vortex passage. In the end, he hadn’t found the monstrous man… no, wait, he had found the monstrous man. The problem was that it was a colossal creature, not the monstrous man in his form.
The reason Shen Ge was so interested in this monstrous man was mainly because he felt this monstrous man might have some kind of connection to the mysterious person who had influenced Li Xiang.
As long as he couldn’t clearly investigate how the monstrous man organization influenced people in the Special Strategy Department through this method, and even affected a member of Li Xiang’s level, Shen Ge could not feel at ease leaving the Special Strategy Department to investigate the monstrous man organization, search for the organs and limbs of the Primeval Aberration, and capture dream fragments.
Only by completely dealing with the monstrous man organization behind the scenes, or by thoroughly investigating the reason Li Xiang had been “controlled,” could Shen Ge act without worries.
For one thing, if someday Shen Ge obtained another key item from the dream world, should he hand it over to “Li Xiang” or not?
But now was not the time to agonize over that question, because Shen Ge’s original goal definitely could not be completed anymore. This entire world was about to collapse. Even if he wanted to investigate, there was no way to start. What’s more, the Silkworm still had six minutes of effect left. Whether he could leave this twisted, chaotic world within those six minutes was still unknown.
Shen Ge had thought the appearance of the giant hands would crush the giant monstrous man along with it, but after grabbing the giant monstrous man, they didn’t take any further action. It seemed more like they were helping the giant monstrous man steady itself, while the other hand helped support the falling giant sphere.
“What’s going on?” Shen Ge completely couldn’t understand this situation. He had thought that if this giant moon smashed down, with good luck it could directly kill the giant monstrous man and the big fish aberration hidden in the sky. At worst, it could stir up their battle and leave both sides heavily injured, buying him a chance for the fight ahead.
Who would have thought that out of nowhere, a hand would come in and not only fail to swallow the giant monstrous man while it was chaotic, but instead help it resolve the crisis?
If the aberrations were on the same side as the Earth, that would still be understandable. After all, the reason the Earth had mutated was to use aberration energy black mist to mutate non-human creatures, and then completely wipe out humanity.
But the giant monstrous man before him was not an aberration. It was a monstrous man that had failed to absorb aberration cells, completely lost control, and become a monster!
Could it be that monsters created this way were also accepted by the Earth?
The giant monstrous man suddenly having a powerful backer made Shen Ge feel awful. He wanted to take advantage of the medicine still being effective and pour more aberration energy into “Misfortune,” but the mutated thing underground didn’t give him the chance at all.
First, from the two hands stretching out of the ground, terrifying viscous black hands began continuously “growing” out, densely packed and horrifying.
These hands grew out one after another, giving Shen Ge the illusion of seeing the “Flower-Flower Fruit” release countless hands in a dazzling bloom.
Now Shen Ge not only had to dodge the falling debris of the collapsing world and the buildings swept into the air by the aberration energy storm, but also had to avoid the attacks of the sky-full black hands.
Although Shen Ge had gained hundreds of times increases in strength, agility, and constitution through amplification, his reactions still depended on himself.
“Great, before it was shooting *2012*, now this is the sequel, huh?” Fortunately, Shen Ge had already experienced situations like this two or three times. Even without the red mist battle armor assisting his movement, just relying on his agility amplification was enough for him to weave through the debris and the aberration energy storm.
As the giant monstrous man, with the help of the two giant hands, successfully caught the giant sphere, the collision of the two forces instantly released a powerful pressure that swept across the land.
The collapsed ruins were blown away. Across the entire world, aberration energy black mist and air currents formed storm tornadoes that swept the land. With the eruption of the giant sphere’s massive impact force, the ground beneath the giant monstrous man, already cracked and collapsing, expanded once again, even forming one great canyon after another.
The terrifying shockwave and the aberration energy storm collided, causing the already twisted and chaotic space to collapse at the same time. This world had originally been a twisted space pieced together from several fragment worlds. Once this storm blew through, it also brought about the collapse of the other worlds along with it.
Shen Ge had just escaped being surrounded by several boulders when, the next second, he was hit by a flying abandoned building. As the ruins crashed down with a thunderous collapse, he was also squeezed into the rubble.
Shen Ge released his aberration domain to blast apart the ruins that had been crushed into a ball and trapped him. At this moment, he once again somewhat missed a certain intelligence crisis defense system. Although its mouth had gotten more and more annoying, at times like this it would at least help him plan an escape route.
Just as Shen Ge had a headache, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from within his clothes.
“Master, did you miss me?”
“Little Seven?” Shen Ge was stunned for a moment. He clearly had never imagined he would hear Little Seven’s voice at a time like this.
Never mind that Little Seven was currently responsible for controlling the red mist battle armor to prevent Cheng Shengnan from being eroded. More importantly, it was now located in “reality.” Theoretically, it was impossible for it to connect to this world.
Although Little Seven had experienced a similar situation once before, at that time they had been in the same dream world and were only affected by the fused monstrous man’s shell.
That level of “shielding” and the shielding between reality and the dream world were completely two different concepts. At least, Shen Ge did not believe Little Seven had the ability to cross time and space.
“Blood Spider?” Shen Ge realized that the voice was coming from the Blood Spider he had brought out. Originally, he had brought this thing just in case, letting Little Seven report Cheng Shengnan’s condition in real time. Even if he couldn’t see it in the dream world, he could check after returning to reality.
Little Seven replied, “It seems Master is very surprised by my appearance. But has Master forgotten? Both I and the red mist battle armor absorbed dream power. Master can use dream power to locate the dream world. That is far harder than me using dream power to locate you.”
So that was it!
Shen Ge hadn’t expected that in just a short month or so, Little Seven had already found a way to operate the red mist battle armor’s dream power. He immediately sighed that it truly deserved to be the smartest AI in this world. It seemed the “intelligence crisis” was just around the corner!
“Master, your current situation doesn’t seem very optimistic.” While speaking with Shen Ge, Little Seven used the Blood Spider to release aberration energy and probe the surrounding situation. Although one Blood Spider’s aberration energy reserve was not even one ten-thousandth of the red mist battle armor’s, using it only to detect the situation around the body was not difficult.
“So do you have any good suggestions?” Shen Ge asked.
“Master, according to the surrounding aberration energy readings, the situation seems even worse than what we encountered before. By calculation, our probability of death is as high as 88.8888%, and the probability of being buried within two minutes is as high as 99.99999%. I feel we can stop running. Find a good feng shui spot and lie flat!”
“…” Shen Ge was speechless at those words. He sighed and said, “Little Seven, since you’re getting smarter and smarter, you should know that playing the same meme a second time isn’t funny at all. Unless you want me to die quickly so you can inherit my account.”
Little Seven said seriously, “Master, I am not joking. The several storms I detected gathered around you mainly because they locked onto the powerful aberration energy you released. To aberrations, aberration energy is delicious. The more powerful the aberration energy you release, the more delicious it is to them. So find a place to lie flat. Maybe they’ll lose interest in you, and then your chance of escaping will be greater.”
When Shen Ge heard this, he immediately felt Little Seven had a point. But the reason he “stubbornly” resisted was not because he was iron-boned and would rather die than yield. It was because he had swallowed a “Silkworm.” Lying flat like this always felt like wasting something precious. If he fought, he couldn’t win. If he didn’t fight, the medicine he took would be wasted… It was very tangled.
Little Seven seemed to see through Shen Ge’s concerns. Besides, it had experienced Shen Ge swallowing a Silkworm once before, so with one check it knew Shen Ge had swallowed another Silkworm. It said, “Master wants to rely on the Silkworm’s infinite aberration energy to deal with that aberration? But according to my detection, even if Master swallows the Silkworm and possesses nearly infinite aberration energy, your body’s strength is still only fifth rank. In other words, Master is a river. Maybe a rainstorm can turn the river water into a flood, but fundamentally it is still the flow rate of a river.
“But that giant monstrous man is different. It was originally a river too, perhaps only several times or several dozen times wider than Master. But what pours power into it is the sea. No matter how powerful Master’s flood is, once it rushes into the sea, it will only merge with the same current!”
Little Seven’s reminder jolted Shen Ge awake. He suddenly discovered a key piece of information he had overlooked: all aberration energy in the world came from the Earth’s negative emotions. This was like pouring a basin of water into the sea. The water would only flow into the sea and would not harm the sea in the slightest.
Shen Ge finally understood why the aberration energy impact he released through his aberration domain could not harm those giant hands at all. Using aberration energy produced by the Earth’s mutation to attack the Earth—how could that possibly work?
“Wait!” Shen Ge suddenly felt this guess wasn’t quite right either. If aberrations, monstrous men, and even his aberration energy really could not harm the Earth, then why would the Earth summon monstrous hands to defend itself against the giant sphere summoned by pouring aberration energy into “Misfortune”?
Could it be that the meteor summoned through “Misfortune” converted aberration energy into physical attack, which was why the other side had no choice but to defend?
Should he try another shot?
Based on the previous two experiences, three or four minutes of the “Silkworm’s” medicinal effect was enough to support another “moon” from “Misfortune.”
If the other side could block one shot, what about two?
This would also conveniently let him use this attack to judge whether his guess was correct. So Shen Ge once again poured aberration energy into “Misfortune.”
“Righteous people of Earth, raise your hands!” Shen Ge kept dodging the attacks of the aberration energy storm thanks to Little Seven’s reminders, while raising both hands high and beginning to frantically channel aberration energy.
“Master… sigh.”
Little Seven’s “sigh” contained countless complaints in just one word. It was clear that like master, like AI. Both the human and the machine were beyond saving on the path of playing memes.
Shen Ge had thought this “I’ll smash you to death with the moon” would form another spatial rift and summon a meteor again. Who knew that from the rift that had not yet disappeared, another even more gigantic sphere flew out.
What surprised Shen Ge even more was that behind the newly summoned giant sphere, there was an even more enormous “moon” squeezing out of the rift!
“Holy crap, a moon wholesale sale?”
