364: Michael takes action

The third star was enormous, and its offensive methods were even more unpredictable.

As it spun at high speed, countless Space Rifts formed around its body.

These Space Rifts were not simple spatial cracks; they seemed like the embryonic form of worlds, like the Chaos Universe, evolving into worlds.

It was precisely because of this that the rules of these Space Rifts were extremely unstable, revealing danger everywhere.

Under the terrified gaze of the third Cosmic Beast, this bizarre star, carrying countless Space Rifts, crashed into him with lightning speed.

Although he struggled desperately, how could he possibly escape from this star's grasp while being suppressed by a world?

In the end, he was helplessly shredded by these Space Rifts, becoming food for the third star.

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

"Ding, Talent extraction failed. The Host gained 5.23 million Talent Fragments."

"Ding, Talent extraction failed. The Host gained 6.13 million Talent Fragments."

"Ding, Talent extraction failed. The Host gained 5.93 million Talent Fragments."

At the moment of the three Cosmic Beasts' deaths, Lin Tianwei also received kill notifications.

That's right.

These three Cosmic Beasts were precisely sent by Lin Tianwei into his inner world, where they were brutally hunted by three ferocious Talent stars, ultimately becoming Lin Tianwei's nourishment.

Although he didn't acquire any powerful Talents, the sufficiently large number of Talent Fragments still looked incredibly appealing.

At least after this battle, Lin Tianwei would have many Talent Fragments to upgrade his existing Talents, elevating them to King Level, or even the stronger Legendary Level.

In fact, Lin Tianwei intentionally only captured three 'flies'.

He only had three Talent stars within his body; sending too many 'flies' into his inner world at once could easily cause problems.

Three was just the right amount, not too many, not too few.

After completing the Devour of the three Cosmic Beasts, Lin Tianwei looked again at the Cosmic Beasts fluttering all over the sky in front of him.

It was time to choose new, delicious prey!

And those Cosmic Beasts whose gazes were swept by Lin Tianwei only felt a prickling sensation on their backs, as if they had been targeted by the God of Death.

Finally, a Cosmic Beast named Aoyun, unable to withstand the immense pressure brought by Lin Tianwei, screamed in terror:

"Quick, quickly use Miguel."

"We are simply no match for this Cosmic Beast on our own."

"The rhythm of this battle has been completely controlled by him from the very beginning; we are merely prey being toyed with in his palm."

"How long we live does not depend on how strong we are, but only on when he plans to hunt us."

When faced with a desperate situation, some creatures act foolishly, but others Awaken extraordinary wisdom.

At least Aoyun was incredibly clever at this moment, seeing through the truth of this battle at the first opportunity.

Even if this truth was difficult for all Cosmic Beasts to accept, it was built upon the flesh and blood of countless Cosmic Beasts, leaving no room for refutation.

Thorne, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, also seized the opportunity to speak:

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, there's a huge gap in strength between us and him."

"He might be just a step away from the World Lord Level, a truly respected powerhouse."

"Filiche, if you don't want this plan to fail and yield nothing, don't hesitate; use Miguel directly."

"All of us are willing to give up all spoils of war, only asking that you let Miguel act to save our lives."

Although Thorne didn't participate in the fight, he had been watching from the sidelines, observing how Lin Tianwei toyed with his comrades, manipulating them as he pleased.

They were like lambs awaiting slaughter, their lives and deaths hanging on the opponent's whim.

In such a situation, the only one who could save them was Miguel, whose power surpassed theirs by an entire level.

As for why they were willing to give up all the spoils of war, this was merely Thorne's way of fawning over Filiche, or rather, Miguel.

Begging Miguel to pay a little attention to these ants when he made his move, leaving a glimmer of hope for everyone.

Thorne's words undoubtedly represented the thoughts of all Cosmic Beasts.

Using Miguel might be a one-in-ten chance of survival, but continuing to play cat and mouse with Lin Tianwei meant certain death.

It wasn't that no Cosmic Beasts had tried to escape; it was just that they weren't fast enough and would be caught by Lin Tianwei in an instant.

After a brief exchange, they would be killed by Lin Tianwei, becoming his prey.

The death of one Cosmic Beast couldn't even buy them a few minutes to escape.

Facing such despair, these Cosmic Beasts were, in the end, afraid and terrified.

They never imagined that after enduring setbacks and becoming Cosmic Level Rank 9 Cosmic Beasts, thinking that the time of hardship was over and good times had come,

they would encounter the greatest tribulation of their lives here.

If there were regret pills in the universe, they would absolutely not have been swayed by Udo and Filiche's incitement to participate in some supposedly foolproof encirclement battle.

The wishes of these Cosmic Beasts quickly reached Filiche's ears.

In fact, he had already decided to use Miguel.

After all, although he was far from the battlefield, he had been observing it, taking in the complete battle situation.

The team he led was already on a losing streak; this was an undeniable fact.

The reason he hadn't used Miguel all this time wasn't to let these Cosmic Beasts exhaust Lin Tianwei's stamina;

after all, once Miguel made his move, Lin Tianwei's condition would be irrelevant, with only death as a possibility.

Filiche simply intended to enjoy this grand spectacle of cat and mouse.

And he planned to strike at Lin Tianwei at his most complacent moment, utterly destroying this foolish Cosmic Beast that was obstructing his path to advancement.

He didn't expect these Cosmic Beasts to be so fragile; even with twenty or thirty Cosmic Beasts remaining, they had already been played to the point of collapse by the enemy, proactively begging him to use Miguel.

Thinking of this, Filiche subconsciously looked at the black cube in his hand.

This black cube seemed to be just a simple toy, but it sealed Miguel, whose strength had reached the World Lord Level.

It was an absolute weapon capable of obliterating everything.

With a strange smile, Filiche said:

"Since you all beg so much, as a benevolent Cosmic Beast, I naturally cannot refuse your request."

"As you wish, I will use Miguel, use Miguel to annihilate everything."

Speaking of this, a ruthless expression appeared on Filiche's face. He directly tossed the black cube in his hand into the universe and commanded loudly:

"What a bunch of trash! So many Cosmic Beasts ganging up on one Cosmic Beast and still failing, even needing to request Miguel's intervention."

"Trash has no value in living."

"Miguel, heed my command! Eliminate all Cosmic Beasts in this area except for that yellow-skinned mouse."

The moment Filiche decided to use Miguel, the fate of these Cosmic Beasts was sealed.

Even if it was just to silence them, he wouldn't spare the life of a single Cosmic Beast.

As for why he wouldn't let Miguel attack Lin Tianwei?

This was certainly not because Filiche was so merciful and decided to let Lin Tianwei live; it was purely to make Lin Tianwei experience the deepest level of fear.

And to acquire any treasures Lin Tianwei might possess.

Filiche hated Lin Tianwei to the extreme.

This Cosmic Beast had obstructed him at every turn, even forcing him to finally use Miguel; killing him ten thousand times wouldn't be excessive.

If only the other party had actively sought refuge with him, begging him to take him in as a client, all matters could have been resolved.

If only the other party had not made a move at the Lotus Auction, quietly acting as a useless Cosmic Beast, all matters could have been resolved.

If only the other party had given up resistance, surrendered obediently, and offered all treasures, all matters could have been resolved.

If only the other party had been a little weaker, weak enough to be killed by his trash teammates, all matters could have been resolved.

It was so simple, yet the other party insisted on not following his script, so his end was destined to be utterly miserable.

Thinking of this, Filiche looked ahead with a face full of glee.

He wanted to see what kind of wonderful expression this arrogant enemy would have when facing the divine might of Miguel... In the battlefield.

Lin Tianwei, who was in the midst of a rampant hunt, suddenly stiffened and stopped his movements.

Although he didn't know Filiche's actions, his Talent: Danger Perception (Legendary) still made him aware of a huge danger the moment the black cube was thrown out.

A danger so great that it made Lin Tianwei abandon all actions and stare intently at the danger ahead.

Facing Lin Tianwei, who had suddenly stopped pursuing, Aoyun suddenly laughed maniacally.

Because he knew that there was only one reason that could make Lin Tianwei stop moving, and that was Miguel.

He just wondered if Lin Tianwei would still be in the mood to laugh when he found out that Filiche had also listed them as attack targets.

As Filiche said, he was benevolent.

So even if he decided to act, he didn't directly tell these poor Cosmic Beasts, intending to bestow upon them an eternal death.

Facing the stagnant Lin Tianwei, Aoyun felt all the pent-up frustration in his heart dissipate, and he mocked loudly:

"Stop? Why don't you keep chasing?"

"Hahaha, you feel it, you feel the coming of death."

"You are strong, stronger than all of us Cosmic Beasts."

"But what's the use? No matter how strong you are, you can't be stronger than Miguel, who has World Lord Level strength."

"Cherish your last moments, because you have no future to speak of."

Aoyun's words made Lin Tianwei frown. Only at this moment did he finally realize where this immense sense of crisis originated.

It actually originated from a Cosmic Beast whose strength had reached the World Lord Level.

No wonder these weak Cosmic Beasts in front of him could bring him such a huge sense of crisis; it turned out they were merely a smokescreen, and the true crisis had yet to arrive.

Although he knew he was about to face a World Lord Level powerhouse, Lin Tianwei was not afraid in the slightest.

His Talent: Avatar (Mythical) had already made him invincible; the worst outcome was merely starting over, so how could he be afraid?

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei clenched his right claw.

World Lord Level?

Let me see what kind of strength a World Lord Level truly possesses, and whether I, with only Cosmic Level Rank 7 strength, have any means to contend with it.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei looked straight ahead.

He was waiting, waiting for Miguel's arrival.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure appeared out of thin air, suppressing all the Cosmic Beasts.

Even those Cosmic Beasts who were trying to escape were not spared, causing all the Cosmic Beasts present to fall into a state of stagnation.

Lin Tianwei tried to move his body, but found that no matter how much he exerted himself, his body seemed to be fixed, unable to move.

Before he could even begin to resist, he noticed an boundless darkness following closely, spreading from the distant sky to the battlefield, until it covered the entire battlefield.

Space Lockdown was lifted!

Lin Tianwei, who was extremely sensitive to energy, immediately perceived the state of space.

The powerful Miguel, merely by appearing, completely shattered the Space Lockdown on this area.

One must know that even Lin Tianwei had to be constrained by the Space Lockdown, temporarily losing his trump card of Instantaneous Movement.

Undoubtedly, the enemy was extremely powerful, powerful to an exaggerated degree.

Escape!

This thought flashed through Lin Tianwei's mind instantly.

This Cosmic Beast named Miguel was perhaps the strongest opponent he had encountered since his debut, the strongest opponent he couldn't resist at all.

Trying to drive the power of space, Lin Tianwei found that his body was still in an unmovable state.

Although the Space Lockdown had been lifted, another, even stronger force had locked down this area.

Domain!

Lin Tianwei instantly found a suitable descriptive word in his mind.

Wherever the pressure reached was Miguel's domain.

Unless one's strength was comparable to Miguel's, it was impossible to move within Miguel's domain; even moving an inch was a luxury.

Lin Tianwei's heart was filled with unwillingness, and a huge sense of powerlessness surged within him.

Although he had envisioned many futures, he never would have thought that he would die here so inexplicably today.

Various Talents erupted frantically; Lin Tianwei had no habit of sitting idly by and waiting for death.

Even if he had to die, he would die after giving his all, absolutely not dying so ignominiously as he was now.

However, Lin Tianwei's expression quickly changed, because he found that he didn't even have the qualification to fight for his life.

Although he unleashed the power of almost all his Talents, Lin Tianwei only barely managed to gain the ability to move an inch.

But to have more mobility, that was completely impossible.

In this almost completely incapacitated state, Lin Tianwei had no way to fight for his life even if he wanted to.

Which also meant that Lin Tianwei would not die at all.

Otherwise, he might have already despaired at this moment.

However, just when Lin Tianwei thought Miguel would attack him, would destroy him like a force of nature, he witnessed a scene that utterly baffled him.
