Chapter 1196

End... end... ended?!!

Among the Third Rank Awakened Ones, several commanders leading the battle stared blankly at the quiet expanse of insect corpses before them.

From the start to the end of the battle, they never even left the gathering place.

Originally, when Lin An charged straight into the insect swarm, they were still a bit nervous, worried that they wouldn't be able to keep up if they rushed over.

But who would have thought, their only role was just to watch the show..

Of course, they didn't realize they still had a bit of 'use'.

"This is the power of an extreme expert?.."

"This is the peak of Third Rank?!!"

"It's too terrifying.. too terrifying.. No wonder the High Level is so confident... No wonder we're destined to win!"

Trembling, almost following Lin An's flight with their eyes, the masses of Soviet soldiers on the ground all had their mouths open, shaking all over with excitement.

They only knew that the Soviets had an extreme expert, but the specifics were completely unclear. Most of them hadn't even attended the award ceremony, and their knowledge of Lei En was limited to hearsay.

Seeing it with their own eyes, it was far more terrifying than the rumors.

They had never imagined that an Awakened One in this world could unleash such terrifying power. Though only two ranks apart, Lin An's destructive power shattered their understanding, completely overwhelming the remaining Soviet Third Rank.

It was as if a primitive man holding a bow and arrow personally witnessed a nuclear explosion.

If the opponent weren't an Awakened One, they would almost want to shout for the divine to manifest.

Although they couldn't fathom how the gap between Third Ranks could be so huge, it didn't affect their admiration in the slightest.

At the same time, the entire Soviet High Level fell into an eerie silence.

To be honest, they were also frightened.

Seriously speaking, they had actually never seen Lin An take action; the only impression they had was the aura burst at the award ceremony. As for how effective the battle really was, many of them had a question mark in their hearts.

They had no doubt that Lei En was extremely strong, definitely strong to the point of making one's hair stand on end.

But to achieve this scene right now...

It's a bit frightening.

Especially, several Third Rank individuals keenly sensed that Lin An's spiritual energy seemed hardly depleted at all?

"Lei... Lord Lei En... I... we next..."

It was hard to come back to their senses; in the center of the gathering place, several Soviet High Level officials stammered as they watched Lin An fly back, instinctively swallowing their saliva.

It's damn stimulating.

The insect swarm that they had to fight to the death over was, in front of Lei En, actually so simple.

One charge, one sweep, one incomprehensible earth-shaking strike.

That final finger which instantly killed a mid-level Third Rank's power made their scalps go numb.

They could all imagine how great the subsequent battles would be! What the hell else do we need to fight? Just shout 'come on' later! This lord is just too strong!

Subconsciously, the entire Soviet High Level exchanged glances, as if they could read from each other's eyes what they wanted to say.

Worth it, so worth it!

Lei En was indeed moved by their sincerity and willing to serve the country!

The pity is that Lord Lei En appeared too late; if he had come earlier, they might be even happier than now. But surely Lord Lei En must have more important matters to attend to, such as how to resolve the insect swarm?

Ignoring the fervent and somewhat uneasy gazes, Lin An maintained the black mist around him, the simulated battle armor appearing ferocious, like a creature from the abyss.

He could see that after this incident, the Soviets' trust in him would only grow.

Of course, the premise is that he cannot reveal his identity as Lin An. Otherwise he suspects that if he simply takes off his mask, this group of fervent Soviet High Level officials could literally vomit blood to death.

Arriving a bit late is actually not too bad.

Seeing what these Soviet High Level officials wanted to say and ask, Lin An merely shook his head slightly, signaling everyone to stay quiet.

He manually controlled a display board beside a High Level official, quickly checking the terrain distribution.

"Huh, it's actually about the same.."

Looking at the technological relics left by the Celestial Eye people, Lin An quickly realized that this place is the same environment as the Asian battlefield.

Scattered gathering places on the edges, a few slightly larger ones in the center.

Within the European theater, other European theaters united together to resist the insect swarm, while the Soviets were a solitary faction.

Kind of interesting...

Lin An gave a light chuckle, inevitably feeling it was somewhat coincidental.

Each continent is a hegemon with a few weak states, an alliance opposing a theater.

Actually, the second and third places in the theater competition are not important; what matters is whether the alliance can overthrow the hegemon, or the regional hegemon can suppress everything.

"Not only considering using monsters to raise gu to coerce, but also considering preventing humanity from uniting?"

Vaguely guessing the meaning behind the system's approach, for some reason Lin An always feels this line of thought might be like nesting dolls, widely appearing across civilizations throughout the universe.

"Is Earth a regional hegemon or a weakling in the alliance?"

"Where are the other nearby civilizations?"

After muttering a few lines under his breath, Lin An realized the surrounding High Level officials were staring at him blankly, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Such matters, let Chu An ponder.

Civilizational slaughter, too far away..

If such a thing were to happen, it would probably involve the Fifth Stage...

"Are you wondering what to do next?"

Speaking calmly, Lin An calmly looked at the many High Level officials gathering around him.

"First, tell me the general situation now."

"I'll see what's better to do."

After a brief inquiry, the designated interlocutor, Teer, hesitated for a moment, then quickly replied:

Marshal Lei En, it's about the same as what you saw.

All forty-six countries of Europe have gathered together; they noticed our breakout to the central gathering point, and they also imitated our approach.

Although their insect tide is slightly harder than ours, they have too many low-rank troops, so they actually have enough manpower to let the third-rank troops rest.

However, it seems there are differing opinions within them; they now plan to devour all the Heavenly Eye people and then each scatter and flee.

Tai Er let out a bitter laugh.

Actually, they almost did that too; after all, anyone could see that the later insect tide would only get harder, and they simply couldn't withstand it.

Getting ready to run away?

Any special Awakened Ones?

Lin An nodded slightly, his gaze unconsciously turning northward. About twenty-six kilometers out lies the gathering place occupied by the European Union.

Special Awakened Ones...

Do you mean Awakened Ones as powerful as you?

Tai Er instinctively glanced at the black-mist-wreathed Lin An, his heart tightening slightly. Although Lord Lei En emitted no aura, he felt as if he could barely breathe, and a faint smell of blood kept drifting into his nostrils.

He faintly felt that something was off.

This bloody smell clearly comes from humans, and it's from a high-rank Awakened One! Lord Lei En, could you have gone to hunt in other war zones? But why hasn't any word come out?

Not daring to think too much, Tai Er suppressed his doubts and pondered hard:

There shouldn't be any, or rather, it's impossible!

The European Union's strongest Awakened One is currently a third-rank intermediate, namely the previous psychic communicator!

His ability is quite special; it seems he can even communicate with the insect larvae!

Their ability to hold out until now is largely thanks to him! They still have over four hundred third-rank fighters! Up to a million... no, now it should be six hundred thousand Awakened Ones!

Lord, what should we do next? Continue to hold out here to earn the quota?

After Tai Er finished speaking, the remaining High Level all nervously looked at Lin An. They feared that the mysterious Lei En would disappear again.

Just holding this place, the points they've earned would be enough to satisfy them.

It's already the fifth day, and they have tens of thousands of points in hand!

However, contrary to their expectations, Lin An shook his head slightly and spoke calmly:

A psychic communicator?

It looks like they've racked up quite a few points.

You stay here; I'll go kill them all. I'll be back soon.

Boom!

The next second, Lin An, like a bolt of lightning, instantly spanned the horizon and vanished before everyone's eyes.

A few seconds later, Tai Er stared blankly at his disappearing back; Lin An's last words echoed in their minds like a deafening bell.

Kill... kill them all!?

Go and come back quickly!?

Holy shit!? Is that something a person can say!?
