276: Taking the blame

Pressure.

Terrifying pressure instantly bore down on Zeta, making him feel as if his body was suppressed and unable to move.

It was then that he suddenly realized.

Lin Tianwei had never used his true strength.

The previous battles were merely him toying with him.

He immediately said in panic, "Master, please calm your anger. It's Blue Star. That planet is Blue Star, definitely not Life Planet No. 4626347."

"Please, Master, abandon Blue Star and leave this star system with me immediately."

"Otherwise, when the Dawn Merchant Guild personnel arrive and discover Master's indigenous identity, they will absolutely not let Master go."

"According to universal laws, both indigenous people and planets are the property of the planet's owner."

Run away?

How could Lin Tianwei have such a ridiculous thought?

If Lin Tianwei knew a situation was unwinnable, he might choose to temporarily avoid the edge.

But given the current situation, he did not think he needed to run away.

It was just a mere Dawn Merchant Guild; how could it make Lin Tianwei flee in disarray?

He was only thinking of one thing now: how to deal with Zeta in front of him.

This culprit who sold Blue Star.

Although ever since the other party became his contracted creature, it was not much different from being dead.

But the crimes Zeta committed were unforgivable, and Lin Tianwei did not intend to let him off just like that.

After a moment of thought, Lin Tianwei finally decided to grant him eternal death.

Letting him die quickly could be considered Lin Tianwei's last act of mercy towards Zeta.

Seemingly sensing Lin Tianwei's thoughts, Zeta, far from being afraid, looked at Lin Tianwei with gratitude and said,

"Thank you for Master's mercy, for being willing to give Zeta a quick end."

"Zeta was wrong to commit such a terrible mistake."

"Otherwise, by following Master, Zeta might not have been unable to become a powerful figure."

Although Lin Tianwei was merely an indigenous person on a primary planet, his terrifying strength had already convinced Zeta.

His only regret was that if he hadn't been so unappreciative, he might have been able to follow Lin Tianwei all the way.

And one day in the future, become a big shot dominating this universe.

Without wasting words with Zeta, Lin Tianwei's mercy would not be bestowed upon his enemies.

Terrifying Mental Power directly transformed into Claws, like the scythe of the grim reaper, directly slashing across Zeta's head.

Causing him to experience a double death, from body to spirit.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."

"Ding, Talent extraction failed. The host has obtained two million Talent fragments."

It must be said that Zeta was truly a weakling; as a planetary third-order creature, he couldn't even provide Lin Tianwei with a usable Talent.

Fortunately, Zeta's death still provided Lin Tianwei with a full two million Talent fragments, which was still somewhat valuable.

Of course, Zeta's flesh and blood were also rare and good food.

The energy contained within, far higher than that of Blue Star creatures, also qualified him to become Lin Tianwei's food.

However, with such a huge size difference, eating was simply too inconvenient.

No hesitation.

This time, Lin Tianwei directly displayed his strongest form.

A length of a full three hundred thousand meters still seemed somewhat small in front of Zeta, who was tens of millions of meters tall.

But Lin Tianwei was the predator, and instead, the seemingly larger Zeta became Lin Tianwei's food.

While savoring the incredibly delicious food before him, Lin Tianwei pondered how to deal with the Dawn Merchant Guild.

The enemy was strong, and he was weak; he had to choose the path most suitable for him.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei looked at the Talents he possessed.

To solve the current predicament, the only thing Lin Tianwei could rely on was his powerful Talents.

Soon.

The appearance of a Talent gave Lin Tianwei great inspiration.

Talent: Beast Transformation (Transcendent)!

This Talent, dropped from killing a Tiger-style pilot, seemed to have no effect at all, only capable of simple self-disguise.

This was also why Lin Tianwei had not upgraded this Talent.

However, it was precisely this seemingly useless Talent that gave Lin Tianwei an inspiration.

An inspiration to solve the current predicament.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei directly spent a staggering one hundred twenty million Talent fragments to quickly upgrade this Talent.

Soon, this Talent upgraded from basic to King-tier.

Beast Transformation (King-tier): A King-tier Talent that allows the host to transform into other behemoths.

Note: The better the understanding of the target behemoth, the better the beast transformation effect. When the beast transformation degree is high, some Talents of the target behemoth can even be used.

This was the answer to breaking the situation.

Lin Tianwei naturally could not abandon Blue Star and choose to run away.

However, wanting to save Blue Star, doing so openly was naturally not the best method.

Therefore, wearing a disguise was the best option.

The King-tier Beast Transformation Talent was precisely the Talent that could help Lin Tianwei achieve this.

Of course, Lin Tianwei's beast transformation target could never be Zeta, this weakling.

It wasn't that he was afraid of implicating Zeta's kin.

It was just that trash like Zeta obviously couldn't have the strength to contend with the Dawn Merchant Guild.

Using his disguise would instead easily arouse the Dawn Merchant Guild's suspicion.

So Lin Tianwei's beast transformation target was only one: the Star Devouring Beast Avatar that once ravaged Blue Star.

Since it was the culprit behind all this disaster, it was only reasonable for it to take the blame.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei directly activated Talent: Beast Transformation (King-tier).

Because he had once devoured the flesh and blood of the Star Devouring Beast Avatar, Lin Tianwei's beast transformation this time was very successful.

Soon, his body began to change.

Transforming from his original tiger appearance into the form of the Star Devouring Beast Avatar.

Soon, Lin Tianwei's figure disappeared from its original spot, replaced by an even larger behemoth.

A behemoth tens of millions of meters tall.

This was also an unexpected pleasant surprise.

Lin Tianwei discovered that the base value of Talent: Super Multiplication (King-tier) was based on Lin Tianwei's original size.

In other words.

After Lin Tianwei beast transformed into the Star Devouring Beast Avatar, his base value also changed.

It was still a Talent that could allow him to expand to one hundred thousand times his size.

The one hundred thousand times of Lin Tianwei's ordinary tiger body before and the one hundred thousand times of the Star Devouring Beast Avatar were worlds apart.

That is to say, under the mutual effect of Talent: Beast Transformation (King-tier) and Talent: Super Multiplication (King-tier).

Lin Tianwei could unleash far greater strength than before.

The only regret was that as his size increased and his strength grew, the energy consumption also became unprecedented.

In just a moment, Lin Tianwei's body already felt a faint sense of weakness.

This feeling of weakness, having consumed one percent of his body's energy, truly displeased Lin Tianwei.

After a moment of thought, Lin Tianwei ultimately chose not to immediately revert to his normal size.

He still planned to use the Star Devouring Beast Avatar's skin to do something big.

But before that, he would first enjoy the grand feast that Zeta had brought him.

An incredibly rich feast of flesh and blood.

It must be said that Zeta's flesh and blood were truly abundant.

Even Lin Tianwei, at a height of tens of millions of meters, took several hours to completely digest it.

Feeling his body's energy slightly replenished, Lin Tianwei no longer hesitated, stirring his terrifying Mental Power and flying towards Blue Star.

On Blue Star.

At this time, the global average temperature had already dropped by a full five degrees.

Five degrees may seem low, but for fragile Blue Star creatures, it was nothing short of a devastating disaster.

If it weren't for the Reinforcement of the two major genes, just this five-degree drop in temperature would have been enough to wipe out ninety percent of all life on Blue Star.

Even so, life on Blue Star was not doing well.

Although they now had more expansive land, after several months of development, their numbers were slightly less than before.

However, this was not the most terrifying disaster.

What Blue Star creatures feared most was the unrestrained, ownerless Life Planet marker floating in the sky.

Like a cage, it tightly bound all Blue Star creatures.

Leaving them nowhere to escape.

Not only that, but there was also that terrifying behemoth, a terrifying behemoth one hundred thousand meters long.

The Moon, Blue Star's former guardian, was shattered into countless fragments by this terrifying behemoth, its power despair-inducing.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, this terrifying behemoth seemed to have lost interest in Blue Star and had gone to a more distant place.

Although it blocked the sun's light, at least it spared Blue Star creatures from constantly facing the immense pressure brought by the terrifying behemoth.

However, just today.

Everyone discovered in horror that the familiar shadow had descended once again.

Little by little, it blocked the sunlight, engulfing the entire Blue Star in its shadow.

Panic, unease, terror... various negative emotions erupted.

Countless people even suffered mental breakdowns, pointing at the indistinct terrifying behemoth in outer space and cursing loudly.

Countless beautiful languages began to bloom, directed at these invaders who dared to invade Blue Star.

However, they didn't know.

This time, they were not welcoming any invaders, but the return of the king, Lin Tianwei!

Lin Tianwei's flying speed was very fast.

His larger size allowed him to easily move tens of thousands of meters.

At this moment, he had transformed into the Star Devouring Beast Avatar and was quietly hovering near Blue Star, contemplating a countermeasure.

His eyes were fixed on the so-called ownerless Life Planet marker.

To save Blue Star, it must be freed from the surveillance of this ownerless planet marker.

Only then could he proceed to the next step.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei once again extended his Claws.

In Lin Tianwei's eyes, this ownerless Life Planet marker, which could make all Blue Star creatures despair, was nothing more than a slightly more powerful toy.

Destroying it was as easy as turning his hand.

As Lin Tianwei's Claws got closer and closer to the ownerless Life Planet marker, the terrifying shadow also got closer and closer to Blue Star.

Enveloping countless Blue Star creatures within it.

However, before they could curse and greet the returning invader,

A huge explosion was heard.

The terrifying barrier, which humanity had been monitoring, cracked inch by inch like the most fragile eggshell, finally turning into countless fragments.

Just as humans wondered why the terrifying behemoth that had returned would destroy the device it used to imprison them, a majestic voice sounded out of thin air, saying:

"Foolish creature, you are now attacking the property of the Dawn Merchant Guild."

"Retreat quickly, or you will face the pursuit of the entire Dawn Merchant Guild."

This voice did not come from elsewhere; it came from the ownerless Life Planet marker that Lin Tianwei had half-destroyed.

At the first sign of attack, it issued an indiscriminate warning to the surrounding enemies.

Although it used the universal language of the cosmos.

However, for Lin Tianwei, who had already acquired Zeta's memories, there was no difficulty in communication whatsoever.

"Your property? That's truly ridiculous."

"I had only just left for a moment, and some small worm dared to invade my territory. Truly courting death."

"If you don't want to die, get out of here quickly!"

Facing the Dawn Merchant Guild's warning, Lin Tianwei was not afraid in the slightest.

Anyway, he was now the Star Devouring Beast Avatar, so even the biggest blame wouldn't fall on him.

Lin Tianwei's extremely arrogant attitude undoubtedly angered the Dawn Merchant Guild, and soon, an incredibly furious voice came from space:

"Foolish creature, do you know what foolish thing you are doing?"

"The last fool who dared to provoke the Dawn Merchant Guild is still suffering torment."

"Provoke the Dawn Merchant Guild? You will learn that death is actually the most merciful punishment in this world."

However, the Dawn Merchant Guild did not receive the expected concession; instead, it was met with Lin Tianwei's terrifying Claws.

"Noisy."

Facing the Dawn Merchant Guild's threat, Lin Tianwei expressed complete indifference, easily smashing the ownerless Life Planet marker into dust with one claw.

If it weren't to ensure that the blame would fall squarely on the Star Devouring Beast Avatar, Lin Tianwei would never have given the ownerless Life Planet marker a chance to speak.

Next?

That was naturally to consider how to take the entire Blue Star away from here.

Staying here would only invite the wrath of the entire Dawn Merchant Guild upon Lin Tianwei.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei directly activated the Star Devouring Talent in reverse.

He re-released the special meteorite from his internal space.

Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical), although incredibly heaven-defying, had a very serious drawback.

That was, it could not devour two planets simultaneously.

Fortunately, Lin Tianwei could release the previous planet, so it wasn't as if he was directly locked in by the special meteorite.

That's right.

Using Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical) to swallow the entire Blue Star and take Blue Star out of the Solar System with him was Lin Tianwei's choice.

As long as Lin Tianwei did not actively use his spirit to erode Blue Star.

Blue Star could even live carefree in Lin Tianwei's internal space until the very end.

Although doing so would undoubtedly be equivalent to indirectly sealing Lin Tianwei's Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical).

But as long as he could preserve Blue Star, which nurtured his body, Lin Tianwei felt that this sacrifice was completely worth it.

Not to mention, in his perception, Blue Star might have other uses for him.

And as long as he acquired a Space-type Talent capable of containing Blue Star, Lin Tianwei would be able to unseal Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical).

Having Blue Star occupy his internal space actually didn't affect Lin Tianwei as much as imagined.

After all, for other creatures, acquiring a Space-type Talent might be incredibly difficult.

But for Lin Tianwei, who had a cheat, it was merely a matter of killing a powerful individual with a Space-type Talent.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei unhesitatingly used Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical) on Blue Star. (End of Chapter)
