180: Chapter 178 Desperate Situation

Lin Mo was filled with anticipation.

As long as his Inner World integration reached one hundred percent, he would be able to break through to the Sixth Class Advancement.

And the Sixth Class Advancement would allow him to awaken his avatar skills.

Those were super skills that only a Law Avatar could use!

Lin Mo controlled nine Law Avatars, each reaching a height of five hundred million meters.

The nine massive shadows spread their arms wide, and nine gigantic, pitch-black vortexes simultaneously split open at their chests.

That was the entrance to his Inner World.

"Suck it all in!"

The suction power was unleashed to its maximum.

Millions of Void Creatures, flesh-mud monsters, and skeletal behemoths were swept into the sky by the violent storm before they could even let out a scream.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The monster tide shattered in swathes like firecrackers.

The gray void matter poured down like a torrential rain, crashing into Lin Mo's Law Space and covering the sky and earth.

The system notification sounds flooded his vision frantically.

[Absorbed 5 million high-purity void matter! Integration level increased!]

[Absorbed 5 million high-purity void matter! Integration level increased!]

[Current integration level: 65%!]

[Current integration level: 70%!]

Lin Mo stood at the center of the storm.

All his attributes soared along with the integration level, and visible spatial distortions even appeared around his body.

Awesome!

This feels so good!

He spread his hands wide, as if embracing this sweet rain of the Boundary Sea.

However, just as the system notifications reached their highest frequency, they suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

[Current integration level: 99.9%!]

Lin Mo opened his eyes abruptly.

The storm continued, and void matter kept pouring into his Inner World.

But the integration level number was stuck firmly at 99.9, not moving an inch.

He frowned.

He raised his hand and grabbed a handful of the gray, diamond-shaped crystals that had just dropped from the air.

The crystals shattered instantly in his palm, turning into gray mist, but they no longer had any effect on him.

"The quality of ordinary void matter is no longer enough."

Quantitative change had reached its limit.

To complete this final 0.1% and fully cross into the Sixth Class Advancement, he had to kill stronger Void Creatures.

Lin Mo stopped obsessing over it.

With a wave of his hand, the vortexes on the chests of the nine Law Avatars closed instantly.

Even after stopping, that wave of frantic harvesting had caused the volume of these nine Law Avatars to expand directly from five hundred million meters to nine hundred million meters!

Their massive bodies stood in the Boundary Sea, and the mere Law tides brought about by their breathing pushed the surrounding remaining monster tide hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Inside the remaining bridge of the star destroyer.

It was deathly silent.

Commander Gu Yuan slumped in the main control chair, the smile on his face long gone.

He stared fixedly at the holographic screen.

The curve representing Lin Mo's energy level had long since broken through the red line of the fourth-level super-limit.

The others were already numb.

"How is this possible..."

Second Lieutenant Gu Ya looked grim.

"How could he possibly increase his strength by absorbing void matter? Unless he only just reached the Fifth Class Advancement!!"

Commander Gu Yuan dug his hands into the metal armrests, deforming them.

A few seconds later.

A long string of bright red data analysis scrolled across the big screen.

The senior staff officer in charge of intelligence stared at the screen, and after just one glance, he sprang up as if electrocuted.

He pointed at the screen, trembling for a long time.

"He doesn't have the Source Ring of the Sixth Class Advancement!"

"Commander! He really is only at the Fifth Class Advancement!!"

The staff officer was covered in cold sweat, and a scream escaped his throat.

"He wasn't defending against the monster tide at all just now! He was using the void matter... to fuse his own Law Space!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was struck as if by lightning.

Second Lieutenant Gu Ya wore an expression of disbelief.

Commander Gu Yuan gritted his teeth tightly.

Fifth Class Advancement?

Just what kind of monster could possess such strength at the Fifth Class Advancement?

Lin Mo wasn't a King, so how could he do this?

And using void matter to fuse a Law Space... is that something a normal person would do?

"A monster... a complete and utter monster!"

Commander Gu Yuan's teeth chattered as he gritted them, and he lunged toward the main control console.

"Now! We are leaving immediately!"

"Force a jump! Return to the home planet! Immediately!"

The roar of the engines resounded inside the machine.

The dark red force field on the surface of the armor extinguished instantly, and thirty-six pairs of giant metal wings retracted frantically, attempting to tear open a spatial channel.

The massive body of the mechanical god emitted a harsh, grinding sound of being overwhelmed, and the engine's hum reached its peak.

The jump channel was about to be completed.

"Click—"

The entire bridge suddenly shuddered violently, and the blue fissure that had just lit up was extinguished as if by a pair of invisible hands, shattering instantly.

The roaring of the engines died down along with it.

"What happened?!"

Commander Gu Yuan turned his head abruptly, his expression ferocious.

Second Lieutenant Gu Ya stumbled toward the main control console, his hands typing on the virtual keyboard so fast they left afterimages, and a long row of scarlet error codes popped up on the screen.

His face had lost all color.

"Commander... the channel cannot connect!"

Second Lieutenant Gu Ya's voice carried an undisguisable tremor as he pointed to the external monitoring screen.

"There are just too many Void Creatures outside! Millions of them in the gray mist have surrounded us completely."

"This level of void law interference is enough to turn matter from solid to void, turning space itself into nothingness, making it impossible to establish a jump channel!"

Commander Gu Yuan's mind buzzed.

We can't escape?

Before he could react, Second Lieutenant Gu Ya swallowed hard and delivered even more fatal news.

"There is something even worse..."

"To keep those monsters at bay, we have the Absolute Incineration Force Field activated."

"Although they get burned to death, the residual void rules left behind after they die corrode our force field, consuming our energy in massive amounts!"

Second Lieutenant Gu Ya pulled up the monitoring chart for the nine main reactor furnaces.

The energy curve, which had been declining steadily, was now plummeting at an eerily cliff-like angle.

"The current energy consumption rate is three times faster than when we were fighting Lin Mo just now!"

Second Lieutenant Gu Ya slumped onto the floor, looking at Commander Gu Yuan with desperate eyes.

"Commander, we can't hold on."

"In half an hour at most, the energy in the nine reactor furnaces will be completely bottomed out."

"Once the force field is withdrawn, we will have to face tens of thousands of Void Creatures head-on, and that indigenous Heavenly Demon outside..."

"He still hasn't left..."

Second Lieutenant Gu Ya didn't finish his sentence, but everyone on the bridge understood.

When it truly reached that point, this fourth-level mechanical god would turn into an iron coffin that trapped them to death.

Lin Mo had already reached the fourth-level super-limit.

That was an energy level that no normal creature could possibly reach.

Without the mechanical god, unless the King were here.

Otherwise, all forty billion of their clansmen would become fish on Lin Mo's chopping block.

The air was deathly quiet.

Only the noise of mechanical failure echoed inside the bridge.

Commander Gu Yuan looked at the nine massive Law Avatars, each nine hundred million meters tall, on the screen, his breathing growing heavy.

He, the dignified Commander of the Tali Tribe, a Boundary Sea pirate, and a peak Ninth Class Advancement powerhouse who held the power of life and death over billions, had actually been driven to this state by an indigenous Fifth Class Advancement.

A sense of humiliation gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake.

But he didn't want to die.

And he couldn't let the Tali Tribe's Third Fleet be buried here.
