252: death ripple

She was not a fool, or rather, there were many smart people among humans.

They had watched the battle for a long time and had already seen a hint of something strange in Lin Tianwei and Hei Sha's bizarre behavior.

The Alpha Gene was a trap, a terrible trap, a trap from the Cosmic Beast that could wipe out the entire Blue Star!

They instantly came to this conclusion in their minds.

Compared to the Cosmic Beast that could potentially destroy the entire Blue Star, Lin Tianwei, as a native creature, was clearly the one they should truly support.

However, even with all their support, they didn't think Lin Tianwei could survive such horrific injuries.

Not to mention, there was a Cosmic Beast lurking nearby, eyeing Lin Tianwei's body with ill intent.

A completely unharmed Cosmic Beast!

Indeed, seizing the moment Lin Tianwei was under Mental Power attack, the Cosmic Beast's head once again flew high.

But this time, there was no Lin Tianwei to prevent the Cosmic Beast's head and body from merging.

They quickly pieced themselves together, forming a terrifying monster that stared intently in the direction where Lin Tianwei had been.

The Cosmic Beast let out a cold snort and said, "Ridiculous trick!"

"Running away? You can't escape my grasp."

"Soon you will discover what a terrifying existence you are facing."

Although the aura of this dead tiger was very close to Lin Tianwei's, it was clearly different from Lin Tianwei.

While Lin Tianwei had brought a lot of trouble to the Cosmic Beast, he had to admit that Lin Tianwei's strength could never be that weak.

Although this attack could cause Lin Tianwei great trouble, it couldn't instantly kill such a troublesome opponent.

Lin Tianwei's true body had already escaped; what remained here was merely a similar scapegoat.

But it didn't matter, soon he would be able to regain his rightful strength.

By then, all creatures on the entire Blue Star would be his food.

Thinking of this, the Cosmic Beast actually closed its eyes, communicating with heaven and earth with its will, seemingly preparing some ultimate move.

No sooner said than done!

Just as the Cosmic Beast closed its eyes to prepare its ultimate move, Lin Tianwei flashed and reappeared there.

At this moment, Number One was not completely dead, enough to serve as a Teleportation marker for Lin Tianwei.

In fact, seeing Number One instantly killed, Lin Tianwei was also greatly startled.

Although his strength was greater than Number One's, or rather, they were not on the same level at all.

But Number One was, after all, a powerful creature born from his own Directed Modification, and its strength should not be underestimated.

If it were Lin Tianwei himself, this attack would be enough to severely wound him.

One must know, the Cosmic Beast attacked his head.

Injured here, he would be crippled even if he didn't die!

This attack also made Lin Tianwei realize something: he had underestimated the Cosmic Beast's strength a little too much.

How could this terrifying beast, capable of traversing the cosmos and crossing countless mountains and rivers to arrive here, be simple?

To fight or to flee? Lin Tianwei faced an incredibly difficult choice.

If he kept fighting, perhaps Lin Tianwei would truly face death, eternal death!

However, his final answer was to fight!

You can run from the monk, but you can't run from the temple.

Even if the current Lin Tianwei possessed the ability to live in the universe.

But clearly, the universe was the Cosmic Beast's home ground.

Escape to the universe? Stay on Blue Star? Undoubtedly, both were dead ends.

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

To survive, there was only one path: to kill the Cosmic Beast.

Since that was the case, he would thoroughly kill the Cosmic Beast and let it know the consequences of offending him.

With a thought, Lin Tianwei's body reappeared in Antarctica.

Number One's body provided him with two Teleportation opportunities, which could be considered a worthy death.

Looking at the Cosmic Beast, which had closed its eyes and was preparing a big move, Lin Tianwei did not hesitate and launched an attack on the Cosmic Beast.

Sharp claws, pointed teeth, and terrifying Mental Power, these would all be Lin Tianwei's weapons to defeat the Cosmic Beast.

A cold light flickered on his claws and teeth, and Lin Tianwei's attack was rapidly approaching the Cosmic Beast.

The tangible attack was imminent, but the intangible attack was even faster; it was an assault launched with Lin Tianwei's Mental Power attribute of up to fifty thousand points.

Crack, crack... The sound of shattering was incessant.

The Cosmic Beast was not a fool; how could it unleash its ultimate move completely unguarded?

Its body was already surrounded by dense Mental Power shields, precisely for such moments.

However, it clearly underestimated Lin Tianwei's strength.

The seemingly stable Mental Power retreated steadily under Lin Tianwei's attack, a truly miserable sight.

The sound of the Mental Power shield shattering was the best proof.

The most terrifying thing was that Lin Tianwei's Sharp Teeth and claws followed closely behind the terrifying Mental Power attack, launching another assault on the Cosmic Beast.

The Cosmic Beast's expression instantly changed.

It never expected Lin Tianwei to return, coming back to kill again, and said coldly:

"There's a path to heaven, yet you refuse to take it; there's no gate to hell, yet you barge right in."

"I will let you know what profound despair feels like."

"Return to Origin!"

Along with the Cosmic Beast's "Return to Origin" that echoed across the entire Blue Star,

a strange ripple spread from the Cosmic Beast,

and in an instant, it swept across the entire Blue Star.

The Cosmic Beast looked at Lin Tianwei with anticipation, eager to see how this food, who dared to defy him, would die!

However, the Cosmic Beast did not witness Lin Tianwei's death; instead, it was struck by Lin Tianwei's attack.

Tiger claws and Sharp Teeth simultaneously hit the Cosmic Beast's body.

Its body was, after all, derived from Hei Sha; even after Reinforcement, it remained incredibly fragile.

Compared to the already Reinforced Lin Tianwei, it was simply worthless.

Even due to excessive self-confidence, the Cosmic Beast made no defense at all and was hit squarely by Lin Tianwei's attack.

In an instant, countless bloodstains appeared on the Cosmic Beast's body.

Lin Tianwei's tiger mouth bit down on the Cosmic Beast's neck.

Although for Awakened creatures, the neck is largely no longer the most fatal spot.

But Lin Tianwei, as a tiger, still retained the tiger's attack method, biting down on this spot that is very fatal to most creatures.

The Sharp Teeth easily bit through the Cosmic Beast's neck.

Under the pressure from its body, the Cosmic Beast's blood sprayed out like a fountain.

It was magnificent and spectacular, exuding a strange beauty.

Lin Tianwei's sudden attack immediately made the Cosmic Beast's confident expression freeze,

Its origin power erupted, and a terrifying force instantly sent Lin Tianwei's body flying.

As if seeing something incredible, the Cosmic Beast cried out in disbelief:

"You, you, how could you be fine?"

"How could you resist my Return to Origin?"

Suddenly, the Cosmic Beast seemed to realize something and said with a shocked expression: "You didn't accept my power?"

"How could you become so powerful without accepting my power?"

"This small, broken planet simply cannot nurture such powerful creatures."

Then the Cosmic Beast's expression returned to calm, and it said: "But it doesn't matter, no matter how you became strong, you are destined not to contend with me."

"Are you ready? Next, you will experience the greatest terror of your life!"

No sooner had the words fallen than, as if to confirm the Cosmic Beast's words,

as the invisible ripples released by the Cosmic Beast began to spread, something terrifying happened.

The first to come into contact with the invisible ripples were the native creatures living in Antarctica.

Although Lin Tianwei had driven away nearby creatures to clear the battlefield, a considerable number of creatures still lived on this continent.

On the ice plain.

A large group of adorable penguins huddled together, trying to dispel the cold from their bodies in this way.

This was the farthest they could escape; any further, they would only be able to hide in the perilous ocean.

Although Lin Tianwei held no killing intent towards them, the occasional violent earth tremors still frightened them.

Leaving them no choice but to confront the fear in their hearts in this manner.

However, they did not realize that a greater crisis was brewing, and an invisible Death Ripple was rapidly approaching their location.

Finally, a penguin standing at the very edge of the penguin group came into contact with the Death Ripple.

In an instant, the world fell silent.

This penguin's eyes began to become hollow and relaxed, eventually turning into dust in less than a second, scattering with the wind.

Only a tiny speck of light remained in its place, proving its past existence.

The Death Ripple was like an invisible disaster, instantly destroying the entire penguin colony.

The ice plain, once crowded with penguins, instantly became empty.

Only a few specks of light, like fireflies, flickered.

Suddenly.

These specks of light, as if attracted by some invisible force, began to gather and continuously fly towards the distance.

Looking at the direction, it was actually the battlefield where Lin Tianwei and the Cosmic Beast were fighting.

Not only that, the invisible Death Ripple did not dissipate after devouring a large number of lives.

Instead, as if it had absorbed enough power, it became even stronger and swept towards the distance at a faster speed.

Its next target would be the ocean, which hid countless creatures.

They would all become sacrifices to the Death Ripple.

Such a terrifying scene shocked the entire Blue Star.

No one expected that they had released such a terrifying devil.

A devil capable of annihilating all life on the entire Blue Star.

The shadow of death suddenly enveloped all creatures on the entire Blue Star.

Especially those places closer to Antarctica, they would be the first to feel the shadow of death.

Fortunately, those in the know were always a minority.

But at this moment, they envied the ignorant masses.

In such times, ignorance might actually be bliss.

At least they didn't have to feel the despair of knowing that death was imminent.

They did not want to die, not in such a miserable way.

Countless informed individuals began to flee, escaping to places further north.

As long as they stayed away from this Death Ripple, perhaps they could survive!

In the Bruno Institute, Ismail looked at the terrifying scene before her, her heart filled with horror.

Such a physically impossible event was actually happening right before her eyes.

The last time she was so shocked was when Lin Tianwei destroyed everything with a single thought, which was equally incomprehensible.

However, compared to the Cosmic Beast's attack, Lin Tianwei's Mental Power attack at least had some discernible pattern and wasn't so unresolvable.

"This is Pandora's Box; we ultimately couldn't resist the devil's temptation and opened Pandora's Box."

"Everything will face destruction!"

The monitoring screen had now switched from the battle between Lin Tianwei and the Cosmic Beast to the vast and boundless ocean.

The same things that happened on the ice plain were also happening there.

Countless marine creatures became sacrifices to the Death Ripple, leaving only a faint glow to prove their past existence.

Then, pulled by some mysterious force, they frantically flew towards Antarctica.

Although humans could not observe the existence of the Death Ripple.

But from the constantly dying creatures, it could be seen that the power of death was getting closer and closer to them.

Under these circumstances, Professor Yanos finally collapsed and cried out in panic.

In a sense, he, who first used the Gamma Gene, was the one who truly opened Pandora's Box.

Not only that, but he also used the harmless Beta Gene immediately.

He wasn't a fool either; he quickly understood the truth of the matter from the Cosmic Beast's words.

The Alpha Gene, Beta Gene, and Gamma Gene were not some miracle of life, or treasures sent by the Cosmic Beast, but a complete and utter trap.

Once Infected by them, one would become food to be slaughtered by the Cosmic Beast.

No longer having any qualification to resist the Cosmic Beast.

The reason Lin Tianwei was unaffected by the Death Ripple was simply because he had not accepted the power of the Beta Gene and Alpha Gene on a biological level.

What Lin Tianwei obtained was merely the Talent called Extraordinary Gene and Extraordinary Body.

From beginning to end, his genes were nothing more than those of an ordinary tiger.

It was entirely due to Lin Tianwei's continuous self-improvement that he was able to suppress the entire world in this new world where the strong emerged.

Professor Yanos had long known about this characteristic of Lin Tianwei.

It wasn't even a secret throughout the entire Blue Star.

Yet, he never expected that it was precisely this small difference that made Lin Tianwei the most unique individual on the entire Blue Star.

No one expected that they would not usher in an evolution across the entire Blue Star; instead, they were deeply harmed by it.

"No, it's not my fault."

"If it weren't for the Tiger King constantly pressuring me, how could I have used the Beta Gene and Gamma Gene?"

"Even the Alpha Gene was personally used on Hei Sha by the Tiger King, and it has nothing to do with me."

This burden was too heavy, and Professor Yanos simply couldn't bear it, so he habitually began to shift the blame.

He threw this huge black pot onto Lin Tianwei, the culprit behind all of this.

Professor Yanos, however, did not expect that his blame-shifting would not be met with Ismail's agreement, but rather her reprimand:

"Enough, Professor Yanos, you fool."

"Is this the time to discuss who should take the blame? How to face this crisis that is about to destroy the entire Blue Star is what we should be doing." (End of Chapter)
