114: Annihilate with one shot! This is the value of the Spear of Law!
“Sister, Brother Mo, are you two really going to that… that terrifying Skull Island?”
Gu Nianqiu walked in, holding a cup of freshly warmed milk, just as she overheard their conversation. The sweet smile that usually graced her small face instantly drained of color.
Her small hands were trembling slightly.
That fear, as if it could freeze her very soul, and the despair of the massive battleship falling in freefall, had long become the deepest shadow in her heart.
Lin Mo turned around, looking at her eyes filled with terror. His voice was as gentle as the night wind sweeping across the deck, yet it carried a power capable of soothing all unease.
“Don’t be afraid.”
He paused, then said, word by word, clearly.
“Before, we were fleeing for our lives.”
“This time…”
A cold, extreme curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“We are going to collect a debt.”
As his words fell, he had already sat back in the commander’s chair, which was spiritually linked to him, his gaze sharp as a drawn divine sword.
“Set course. Target: Skull Forbidden Zone.”
“Spatial jump, activate!”
Boom—!
The space around the ship was once again violently twisted and folded by that supreme power.
When the dazzling, flowing light of the channel dispersed, the scene outside the window had already changed drastically.
The azure sky and the white sea of clouds were gone.
In their place was a desolate firmament shrouded in an eternal, chilling gray mist.
The air was filled with a scent of decay and despair, as if it could seep into one’s bones, like the last sigh of billions of dying creatures.
And right in the center of that gray mist.
A colossal aerial island, defying all laws of physics, piled high with countless stark white bones, floated silently.
It was identical to the nightmare from their memory, the one that had sent them fleeing in a panic.
The moment they saw the island, the cold and urgent system alert, as expected, arrived.
“Warning! You have entered thePerception range of an unknown high-dimensional entity! Undergoing mental erosion! SAN value continuously decreasing, currently 99%... 98%...”
“Ah!”
Gu Nianqiu instinctively screamed, tightly closing her eyes, and clutched her sister’s arm, bracing for the familiar, nauseating dizziness and fear to descend.
However, the anticipated pain did not come.
Buzz—!
An energy shield, composed of four colors—emerald green, azure blue, crimson red, and gilded gold—like a divine glazed wall, instantly unfolded on the surface of the Natural Selection, completely isolating all invading malice and ill omens.
“The Four Symbols Barrier has automatically activated its ‘World Tree’ form, mental purification field deployed...”
“Mental erosion has been exempted.”
“SAN value has been restored to 100%.”
Gu Nianqiu waited for a long time, only feeling a warmth envelop her, as if she were wrapped in the gentlest sunlight. The chill originating from the depths of her soul instantly vanished into thin air.
She cautiously opened one eye and saw Lin Mo and her sister standing perfectly fine, looking composed, as if they were merely admiring an ordinary landscape.
“Huh? This time… it doesn’t feel bad at all?”
“Hmph.”
Gu Zhixia snorted. Her phoenix eyes, always holding a hint of coolness and arrogance, were now fixed on the Skull Island outside the window, gleaming with a cold, almost cruel satisfaction.
“Times have changed, you scoundrel.”
As if sensing the “immunity” of this uninvited guest, the colossal Skull Island began to change.
The countless white bones forming the island seemed to come alive, emitting a grating “click-clack” sound, writhing and reorganizing frantically.
Finally, directly above the island, an indescribably massive and unique eye formed!
That eye had no pupil; the white part was a chaotic, constantly churning gray mist.
It quietly gazed at the Natural Selection from a great distance.
Like an evil god, casting its cold gaze from an unspeakable dimension.
A pure, malicious mental shock, a hundred times more powerful than before, descended with a roar!
“Warning! You are under a powerful mental attack from ‘Abyssal Gaze’! The Four Symbols Barrier is performing a Law confrontation… Confrontation successful! Target attack has been completely neutralized!”
On the four-colored light shield, only a barely perceptible ripple appeared, dissolving the attack, which was enough to instantly shatter the minds of an entire fleet, into nothingness.
“Is that all you’ve got?”
Gu Zhixia looked at the giant eye. Far from showing any fear, she even lightly licked her dry lips with the tip of her tongue. Her beautiful phoenix eyes erupted with a killing intent that almost materialized.
“Last time you made us so miserable, I thought you were much more formidable.”
She abruptly turned to Lin Mo, her voice carrying an undeniable determination.
“Lin Mo, let me go! I want to personally drag it down from the sky and stomp its eyeball into oblivion!”
“No need for such trouble.”
Lin Mo’s voice was as calm as if he were stating a trivial matter.
He didn’t even look at Gu Zhixia, his gaze still fixed on the chaotic eye, as if looking at a dead object.
He simply raised his hand and lightly pressed a button on the weapon system of the command console.
“Spear of Law, charging.”
“Target, locked.”
“Fire.”
A pure white beam, thin as a wisp of silk yet seemingly condensing the weight of the entire world, shot silently from the bow of the Natural Selection.
It had no world-shattering momentum, nor did it have the light effects of tearing space.
It simply sliced through the long sky, quietly, like a pointer correcting a world’s error.
The colossal chaotic eye seemed to sense the terrifying power contained within this beam, a power capable of threatening its very essence.
The gray mist in its eye churned and contracted frantically, attempting to construct a reality-bending defensive barrier made of mental energy.
However, it was all in vain.
Pfft.
A sound so faint it was almost inaudible.
The white Spear of Law ignored all barriers, ignored the distance of space, and pierced with unparalleled precision directly through the center of that giant eye.
Time, as if a pause button had been pressed, stopped at this moment.
That eye, along with the colossal island of countless white bones beneath it, all movements ceased abruptly.
There was no explosion, no collapse.
They simply, under the gaze of Lin Mo and the two girls, like snow melting in the sun, like a sand painting blown by the breeze.
Starting from the point of impact, silently, they turned into the most insignificant gray dust.
Little by little, they dissipated and decomposed.
Ultimately, they were completely erased from this world.
As if they had never existed.
“Congratulations, you have successfully obliterated the unknown entity ‘Eye of the Forbidden Zone’.”
“You have obtained ‘Broken Divinity’ * 1.”
“You have obtained ‘Core of Chaos’ * 1.”
Looking at the empty sky, where not even a speck of dust remained, the Bridge fell into a long silence.
After a long while, Gu Zhixia finally found her voice, her tone carrying a hint of relieved shock that she herself hadn’t noticed.
“It’s… over?”
“Mm.”
Lin Mo turned off the weapon system, leaned back in his chair, his body completely relaxed, and said faintly.
“The old debt has been settled.”
He turned his head, his gaze passing through the porthole, looking at the brand new sea area that appeared after the gray mist dissipated, leading to an unknown distance.
“Now, we can go and see what lies beyond this ‘Coliseum’.”
