265: Out of the atmosphere

Under Lin Tianwei's terrifying Mental Power, even his frighteningly heavy body gradually broke free from the shackles of gravity and began to float.

Lin Tianwei thus escaped the pull of gravity, little by little, soaring towards the sky.

Experiencing weightlessness for the first time, Lin Tianwei was still a bit unaccustomed, only able to ascend slowly into the sky.

After all, if he were to lose his balance due to overly large movements, that would truly be a loss of dignity.

Undoubtedly, the current Lin Tianwei was the undisputed focus of the entire Blue Star.

The moment Lin Tianwei returned to Sakura Island, all surviving humans turned their gaze towards his location.

They urgently wanted to know what Lin Tianwei intended to do.

After all, their fate was entirely in Lin Tianwei's hands.

Whether they would become Lin Tianwei's food, like Sakura Island, was also a matter of extreme concern to them.

Because they discovered that Lin Tianwei was simply too big of an eater.

Unlike his previous appetite, which was still within the human understanding, Lin Tianwei's act of devouring all the monsters on Sakura Island this time shocked everyone.

They found it incredibly difficult to comprehend how Lin Tianwei's small body could consume such a vast amount of food.

At least dozens of times his own volume of food was consumed by Lin Tianwei.

Yet, even after devouring so much food, Lin Tianwei's body showed no signs of bloating.

Even his belly remained as flat as ever.

They quickly realized a problem.

That was the scarcity of food.

On Blue Star, after the Star Devouring Beast Avatar, it might be difficult to provide enough food for the powerful Lin Tianwei.

Humans go mad when extremely hungry, let alone such a terrifying fierce tiger.

Facing the mighty Lin Tianwei, their fate would not be much better than facing the Star Devouring Beast Avatar.

There would be virtually no room for resistance.

They never imagined that they had just survived one calamity, defeating the terrifying Cosmic Beast, only to immediately fall into the predicament of potentially being devoured as food by an extremely hungry fierce tiger.

A sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously; against the terrifying beast, their strength was simply too weak.

It was precisely when they were feeling anxious and praying that they wouldn't become food that they witnessed an incredibly bizarre scene.

Lin Tianwei's massive body, hundreds of meters long, floated slowly like a hydrogen balloon, breaking free from the earth's gravity.

Etna's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief as he watched the scene unfolding before him.

As an excellent data analyst, he was extremely sensitive to data.

Based on Lin Tianwei's terrifying combat power displayed previously, he had calculated that Lin Tianwei's weight would be a very frightening number.

To make Lin Tianwei, with that weight, break free from gravity's control and float, the energy required would also be a very terrifying number.

He had envisioned possible scenarios for Lin Tianwei flying.

Growing wings.

Or walking on air using platforms materialized by Mental Power.

Or, like humans, utilizing powerful high-tech tools.

Yet, he had never imagined that Lin Tianwei could float using only the power of his physical body.

This was completely unscientific!

Tigers in nature provided the answer.

They simply couldn't fly without changing their body structure.

However, Lin Tianwei was Lin Tianwei, and tigers were tigers.

They seemed to be completely different entities.

Lin Tianwei, relying on his powerful strength, managed to fly.

Not only that.

If Lin Tianwei's initial floating was merely an attempt to test his terrifying Mental Power,

Then what happened next was Lin Tianwei's true purpose.

In just a short dozen seconds, Lin Tianwei completely mastered the method of flying using his powerful Mental Power.

A hint of joy flashed in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

It really worked.

It was exactly as he had envisioned.

Mental Power of such magnitude was already sufficient to support Lin Tianwei's massive body in flight.

After briefly adapting to the power within his body, Lin Tianwei, like a cannonball, shot towards the sky with terrifying force.

His speed was so great that it was no less inferior to Lin Tianwei's speed when running on the ground.

Still like lightning, he soared towards the sky at an incredibly fast pace.

This scene undoubtedly shocked everyone who was paying attention to Sakura Island.

From the initial suspension to the final rapid flight, Lin Tianwei's actions utterly stunned them into numbness.

MacArthur stared blankly at the screen, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

There actually was a non-avian creature that could fly using the power within its own body.

One should know that while birds can fly, they sacrifice too much for it.

And Lin Tianwei?

He didn't look like he had sacrificed anything at all.

Being able to fly while exerting full power was far, far more difficult than flying after countless self-inflicted cuts.

However, this was not MacArthur's primary concern.

His greatest concern was Lin Tianwei's purpose.

This terrifying beast.

What was the purpose of this beast, capable of determining the fate of the entire Blue Star, suddenly taking flight?

Just then, MacArthur's phone rang.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was Ouro's call.

MacArthur immediately rejoiced; it seemed he wouldn't need to guess Lin Tianwei's purpose for flying anymore.

Because the answer to this question had already come knocking.

He didn't believe that Ouro, as Lin Tianwei's spokesperson, would contact him for no reason.

If Ouro was calling him, it absolutely meant something super significant had happened.

It was even possible that Ouro would be relaying Lin Tianwei's command, the will of the entire Blue Star!

Thinking this, MacArthur immediately answered the phone and humbly said, "Mr. Ouro, may I ask what matter you have for me at this time?"

"If it is a request from Lord Tiger King, I will complete it even if it costs me my life."

Although it wasn't the first time he'd heard it, Ouro still found it difficult to connect the humble voice on the other end of the phone with MacArthur, the once overbearing leader of America.

After a moment of thought, Ouro said with an undeniable tone:

"By command of Lord Tiger King, you are required to lead the former America to cooperate with us in restoring Blue Star's vitality."

"During this period, you must fully cooperate with the arrangements of Tiger King Farm and harbor no selfish motives."

"The food on Blue Star can no longer satisfy the needs of Lord Tiger King."

"But don't worry, we cannot fathom the divine might of Lord Tiger King; facing such a situation, He has His own methods."

"Foraging in space is but a very simple matter for Lord Tiger King."

On the other end of the phone.

MacArthur felt like a prisoner awaiting judgment.

Because he knew that Ouro's next words would determine the fate of the entire America.

Or rather, the fate of the former America.

After all, from the moment the Tiger King Flag was hoisted, America might already exist in name only.

However, MacArthur never imagined that he would hear such a simple command from Ouro.

He had envisioned that this command might be difficult to fulfill, or perhaps involve great sacrifices.

Yet, he never expected it to be so simple.

In fact, even without Lin Tianwei's command, America would not allow the areas harvested by the Star Devouring Beast Avatar to lie fallow.

Those were incredibly fertile lands, and they concealed countless mineral resources.

Most importantly, this was virgin territory without Awakened creatures, very suitable for reclamation and experimentation.

As long as they weren't fools, they wouldn't abandon it.

Their thoughts did not conflict with Lin Tianwei's command at all.

It could even be said they were working by imperial decree.

The only difference might be in managing the scale of competition.

Where there are people, there will be conflict.

Especially when facing such immense benefits.

But competition comes in many forms.

One is healthy competition, where everyone works together towards a common goal.

Another is vicious internal competition, where even if everyone is exhausted, it's difficult to get what they want.

Without Lin Tianwei's command, humanity might have needed another battle to determine the ownership of these lands.

At that time, it would have been a bloody war sweeping across the entire Blue Star.

Perhaps the number of creatures that died would not be less than the slaughter caused by the Star Devouring Beast Avatar.

But now, it was completely different.

They only needed to act according to Lin Tianwei, according to the arrangements of Tiger King Farm.

Perhaps this was actually a good thing for Blue Star.

Most importantly, Ouro's words put MacArthur at ease.

At least they wouldn't be at risk of becoming food.

Yes.

Space, which was unattainable to them, was merely a conquerable entity before the mighty Tiger King.

Why was he surprised by Lord Tiger King's astonishing act of going into space?

Lord Tiger King's future was inherently the stars and the sea; a mere Blue Star could not possibly shackle Lord Tiger King.

In the future.

Perhaps the entire Blue Star would be proud of Lord Tiger King's existence.

Thinking this, MacArthur said submissively, "We naturally dare not disobey Lord Tiger King's command."

"Please send Lord Tiger King's envoy immediately, Lord Ouro; we will act completely according to the envoy's orders."

Hearing MacArthur's submissive words, Ouro's expression once again became somewhat surprised.

One should know that Ouro's words were equivalent to directly stripping MacArthur of his power.

A superior was parachuted in above MacArthur.

And it was a superior who might come from Tiger King Farm, ordinary and without any qualifications.

Yet, precisely when facing this situation, MacArthur showed no intention of struggling whatsoever.

Instead, he accepted the outcome very calmly.

Perhaps, this was the charm of Lord Tiger King?

For the first time, Ouro felt that his ideological realm was still somewhat insufficient.

Unable to fathom the thoughts of Lord Tiger King, and these former powerful figures.

But it didn't matter.

After a moment of confusion, Ouro's eyes became firm again.

He only needed to follow Lord Tiger King's footsteps and firmly execute his commands.

Other matters were simply not something he needed to worry about.

In this lifetime, being able to secure his current life for himself and his family could already be considered complete fulfillment.

Under Ouro's orchestration, Blue Star quickly returned to a state of peace and tranquility.

Perhaps some of the survivors had harbored ulterior motives.

But when faced with Lin Tianwei's command, they dared not harbor any dissent, ultimately returning to peace.

Especially upon witnessing Lin Tianwei's miraculous feat of traversing the heavens with his physical body, their hearts were filled with nothing but awe.

Submission; this was the only choice.

Under the organization of Tiger King Farm, a great undertaking to restore Blue Star's life began.

The reproductive capacity of most creatures on Blue Star was very strong.

It was believed that before long, Blue Star would once again return to its former vibrant state... Talent: Speed Burst (Extraordinary)!

After getting used to controlling himself in flight with Mental Power, Lin Tianwei's speed became faster and faster.

Finally, after completely mastering this ability, he unleashed his fastest speed.

Air friction was very small, but it was not absolutely non-existent.

As Lin Tianwei's speed increased, his body also rubbed violently against the air.

Friction generates heat!

The atmosphere was an unavoidable obstacle for Lin Tianwei to break out of Blue Star.

Under the obstruction and friction of the atmosphere, Lin Tianwei's body temperature rose higher and higher, rapidly climbing above three hundred degrees Celsius.

There was even a continuous upward trend.

This was also why meteorites entering Blue Star would ignite in raging flames.

The atmosphere was Blue Star's best protection!

However, this atmosphere, which once protected Blue Star, also became the restraint preventing Lin Tianwei from breaking out of Blue Star.

A slight carelessness could lead to spontaneous combustion due to the intense high temperature generated by friction, turning him into ashes!

Slow down?

Lin Tianwei never had the thought of slowing down.

If he couldn't even break through Blue Star's atmosphere with the power of his physical body, how could he talk about venturing into the vast and boundless space?

Instead of decreasing, it increased!

Just when everyone thought Lin Tianwei would choose to reduce his speed to buffer the atmospheric friction,

Lin Tianwei's speed experienced another burst.

One thousand degrees!

Two thousand degrees!

Three thousand degrees!

Although Lin Tianwei's surface temperature was continuously rising, it was not enough to cause his powerful physique to spontaneously combust.

Not even a single tiger hair fell off because of it.

Instead, the atmosphere erupted in brilliant sparks due to the intense friction, looking incredibly magnificent.

Talent: Energy Absorption (Extraordinary)!

Moreover, under the powerful Talent Lin Tianwei possessed, the high temperature generated by the friction between his physical body and the atmosphere was actually absorbed by Lin Tianwei, transforming into his own energy.

Just like that, under everyone's gaze,

Lin Tianwei, like a rocket, swiftly shot through the clouds, breaking out of this Blue Star that had nurtured countless lives!

The moment he broke free from the shackles of the atmosphere and escaped Blue Star's gravitational pull, Lin Tianwei felt an unparalleled sense of exhilaration in his body.

Utterly at ease.

Watching Blue Star recede further and further away, Lin Tianwei's thoughts were myriad; he had finally left Blue Star after all.

He had taken the first step towards the universe.

Turning to look at the dark universe, Lin Tianwei's eyes were resolute, and he flew towards the unknown distance at an extremely fast speed. (End of Chapter)
