430: Unexpected break

Even from a great distance, Dov's command was accurately transmitted into the black cube.

A silver light, representing Space Energy, flashed, and the black cube transformed into a phantom, disappearing directly into the universe, leaving behind only an enormous body—Miguel's body.

As soon as Miguel appeared, he immediately shocked all the surrounding Cosmic Beasts.

Not because of his seemingly massive physique, but because of his terrifying aura.

Even without making a move, his aura alone was enough to suppress everything.

Those Cosmic Level Ninth-stage powerhouses, the once arrogant Cosmic Level Ninth-stage powerhouses, trembled like ants before Miguel, utterly unable to move.

Even the control chip couldn't overcome their body's most primal fear; it merely allowed them to tremble with a little more dignity.

At least they were still trembling while standing.

The free Cosmic Beasts, those not controlled by a chip, bore the full brunt of it, curling up on the ground and trembling like hideous worms.

Among all the Cosmic Beasts present, only Luo Ji performed slightly better, at least able to stand normally, showing no fear or trembling whatsoever.

It wasn't because Luo Ji's strength was sufficient to resist the pressure emanating from Miguel.

It was simply because Luo Ji wasn't afraid.

Afraid? Afraid of a mere World Lord Level Cosmic Beast? How could he do something that would make Lord Lin lose face?

He could die, but he could not disgrace Lord Lin.

Thinking this, Luo Ji's body straightened even further, as if the terrifying pressure had never existed.

Although not afraid in his heart, Luo Ji still accepted the fact that he was about to die.

Without power, without trump cards, he was merely a fish on a chopping block, with no chance of turning the tables.

Death was before his eyes, within reach.

Though he still harbored regrets, unable to continue by Lord Lin's side, Luo Ji felt that his life had been worthwhile.

Compared to those unremarkable Cosmic Beasts, his life, at least, could be considered grand and eventful.

Thinking this, Luo Ji strode towards the control panel in front of him, steering his main ship to collide with Miguel's position.

While this was certainly a futile effort, it at least showed that he had resisted, unlike the cowards beside him who lacked even the courage to fight back.

Under the watchful eyes of all, Luo Ji's main ship transformed into a silver meteor, crashing fiercely into Miguel.

Bang!

That was the sound of the main ship colliding with Miguel's body.

The main ship shattered into pieces, instantly turning into scrap metal, but Miguel's body remained unmoving, not shifting even an inch.

Although the main ship was destroyed, Luo Ji, possessing a certain level of strength, was not injured.

He merely looked at Miguel with a puzzled expression, not understanding how all of this had happened.

He was just trying it out, but he never expected to succeed.

Miguel was a World Lord Level existence; how could he allow the main ship he was on to approach?

Shouldn't the normal plot progression be that he, along with the main ship, would have been pulverized before he even had a chance to touch Miguel?

Recovering from his shock, Luo Ji now realized that something was wrong with Miguel.

Ever since he was released from the black cube, the other party had been standing there in a daze, as if he hadn't received any commands at all.

This situation was extremely abnormal, so abnormal that Luo Ji found it hard to comprehend.

Could it be that Dov and Warner, those two simpletons, summoned Miguel just to strike a pose in front of him?

How could there be such foolish Cosmic Beasts in this world, capable of doing such a stupid thing?

In fact, Luo Ji wasn't the only confused Cosmic Beast; even Dov was equally bewildered at this moment.

Looking at the unresponsive Miguel, Dov roared, "Miguel, obey my command! Help me kill Luo Ji!"

"Luo Ji has already been delivered right to you, what are you doing?"

"Daydreaming? How dare you daydream in the face of my command?"

Dov's angry roar echoed far and wide, yet it still couldn't rouse Miguel, as if he had completely lost control over Miguel.

How could this be? This was practically a disgrace to the Lotus Slave Market's reputation.

Disobedient Slaves—for the Lotus Slave Market, which had been in the Slave business for countless years, this was simply impossible.

However, the situation was truly happening before his eyes, leaving Dov no choice but to believe it. With a livid face, he said to Warner beside him:

"The plan has changed. Miguel has malfunctioned and refuses to obey orders."

"Immediately order the Phoenix Bird to act. Delay might lead to complications."

The reason the two of them ambushed Luo Ji here was to achieve a quick victory, but they never expected such a bizarre turn of events.

Knowing that it was better to act sooner rather than later, Dov immediately sought help from Warner beside him.

However, facing Dov's plea, Warner also looked helpless and said:

"I also wish the Phoenix Bird could act, but the current situation simply doesn't meet his conditions for action."

"This time, we are asking him for help, not him begging to help us. What right do I have to command him?"

At this point, the emo on Warner's face was almost materializing.

He never expected things to turn out so fantastical.

He had indeed agreed with the Phoenix Bird that if something went wrong, the Phoenix Bird would immediately intervene to clear obstacles for him.

However, this change clearly did not include Miguel malfunctioning and needing the Phoenix Bird to help clear Luo Ji's fleet.

It wasn't that the Phoenix Bird lacked the strength; it simply felt that these ants were not worthy of its intervention.

The condition he agreed to was that if other World Lord Level powerhouses appeared, he would be responsible for intervening, preventing those other World Lord Level powerhouses from acting.

As for whether to kill them or not, that, of course, depended on the Phoenix Bird's mood.

Under normal circumstances, as long as Luo Ji's World Lord Level helpers were restrained, Miguel could easily rampage and kill, and the two beasts' plan would be perfectly fine.

However, they never expected that an abnormal situation would arise now, and they never imagined that the problem would lie with Miguel.

No matter how helpless they were, they could only shout at the top of their lungs, trying to awaken Miguel, to make Miguel rampage and kill, clearing all obstacles for them.

Unfortunately, how could Miguel, who was parasitized by Lin Tianwei, obey Dov's commands?

The control chip was strong? But it was absolutely no match for Lin Tianwei's Parasitism Talent.

Currently, the only Cosmic Beast capable of controlling Miguel was Lin Tianwei.

However, just as Dov and Warner thought the situation was hopeless, and Luo Ji thought things had taken a turn for the better and the crisis was over, they noticed that Miguel, who had been striking a pose, suddenly moved.

Although it was an extremely subtle movement, it was enough to indicate that Miguel still had mobility, and there was still a chance for things to change.

Dov was so surprised he almost screamed. Just when he thought Miguel had malfunctioned and he was about to completely abandon this ambush on Luo Ji, he found that things had taken a turn for the better again.

It seemed Miguel had just been sleeping and wasn't actually disobeying his commands.

I knew it, how could the Lotus Slave Market's control chip go wrong? Miguel is completely under control.

Thinking this, Dov once again issued a command to Miguel, roaring, "Kill! Kill Luo Ji for me!"

"Don't even spare this entire fleet in front of you."

Unfortunately, Dov's roar was destined to be a futile rage; his commands simply couldn't influence Miguel's actions.

Because at this moment, the entity controlling Miguel's body had clearly become Lin Tianwei.

In fact, the moment Luo Ji's main ship collided with Lin Tianwei's body just now, Lin Tianwei had already regained some consciousness.

Message bombardment might not have been able to awaken Lin Tianwei, who was deeply mired in the Time Swamp, but this collision from his main body could not possibly leave Lin Tianwei indifferent.

At the very least, it made Lin Tianwei realize that something was wrong with his main body in the real universe.

No matter how important the Arena in the Law Arena was, it couldn't be more important than Lin Tianwei's main body.

So, even though he was in the middle of an Arena match, Lin Tianwei chose to delegate control immediately, allowing his consciousness to return to his main body.

Under normal circumstances, even if the main body was unwell, exiting the Law Arena still required a certain procedure.

Although this procedure was simple, under the effect of the chaotic Time Deceleration Talent, it would still take at least several decades to exit.

In other words, this so-called protection mechanism was completely useless in the face of chaotic trickery.

But I'm sorry, Lin Tianwei was also a sufficiently tricky existence; he didn't need to follow the Law Arena's procedures to force an offline.

He just left a delegated body and chaos to continue playing the staring game in the Law Arena.

Even so, under the terrifying Time Deceleration Talent, it still took Lin Tianwei several minutes to successfully force an offline.

This was also why it took Miguel so long to show any movement.

The consciousness barrier caused by different time flows wasn't so easy to break through; even Lin Tianwei needed to spend some time to adapt.

However, Lin Tianwei never expected that after regaining consciousness, he would see an incredibly familiar figure.

Of course.

Along with it came Luo Ji's frantic SMS bombardment.

If at first these messages still had content, reminding him of chaos's trickery and warning Lin Tianwei not to fall for it, then the subsequent messages had completely lost their meaning, sent purely for the sake of sending messages.

5659551.

It was hard to imagine how Luo Ji managed to send so many messages to Lin Tianwei in such a short time.

But it was precisely because of these messages that Lin Tianwei finally gained some understanding of the current situation.

His stubbornness in not gathering intelligence had indeed been punished.

Even if he possessed the power to overcome everything, being tricked by chaos made it difficult to exert that power.

But fortunately, fate was ultimately on his side, allowing him to unexpectedly break free and regain his freedom.

Since he had regained his freedom, chaos would now face Lin Tianwei's retribution.

Playing tricks on him?

He would let him know who was truly being played.

However, considering the familiar beast Luo Ji in front of him, Lin Tianwei decided to spend a little time dealing with matters in the real universe.

Anyway, chaos loved to act, so he would let his delegated body in the Law Arena accompany him for as long as he wanted.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei directly communicated with Luo Ji through Mental Power:

"Luo Ji, is this the so-called crisis you spoke of?"

"A World Lord Level powerhouse? Although not strong for me, this is indeed a crisis you cannot handle."

"But don't worry, as long as I am here, you will surely pass through this crisis safely."

Upon receiving Lin Tianwei's message, Luo Ji was immediately stunned.

Lord Lin was fighting chaos, so how could he appear before him?

Moreover, he hadn't seen Lord Lin at all, so where was he communicating with him from?

Perhaps because Lin Tianwei hadn't set up any defenses against Luo Ji, he quickly discovered Lin Tianwei's location from the source of the Mental Power.

Neither off-center nor off-kilter, Lin Tianwei's Mental Power actually came from Miguel in front of him.

Lord Lin = Miguel?

Luo Ji thought this was an incredibly absurd conclusion; how could Lord Lin be Miguel?

Connecting it to Lin Tianwei's past experiences, an incredible thought formed in Luo Ji's mind.

Could it be that during the last great battle, Lord Lin not only successfully escaped Miguel's encirclement but also directly gained control of Miguel, completely mastering this World Lord Level Slave?

Although somewhat unbelievable, this seemed to be the truth of the matter, an astonishing truth.

His anxious heart finally settled down.

After realizing the truth, Luo Ji's heart had never been so relaxed, and he respectfully replied:

"Thank you, Lord Lin, for helping me through this difficult time."

"Please leave the rest to me; I will successfully become the beast in charge of the Extremely Cold Universe and gain the opportunity to advance to the Kars Star Realm."

"I will definitely become Lord Lin's most excellent assistant."

Facing Luo Ji's declaration of loyalty, Lin Tianwei shook his head slightly and said, "Luo Ji, perhaps you've imagined things a bit too simply."

"Miguel might be the enemy's method, but not all of the enemy's methods."

"There's a bigger surprise waiting for you."

"I sense the aura of an old acquaintance nearby."

"But don't worry, I will handle everything for you; you just need to wait patiently."

As he spoke, Lin Tianwei controlled Miguel's body, turning him to face Dov's location.

Ever since Lin Tianwei's consciousness returned to the real universe, commands had been constantly coming from this direction, making Lin Tianwei quite displeased.

To dare to boss him around like this, they truly didn't know how to write the word 'death'.

But it didn't matter; he would soon teach them that lesson. (End of Chapter)
