Chapter 1400: Aberrant Humanity 1

Life Judgment!

Hum

With the sudden sound, Lin An, who had just burst out, moved with lightning speed—too fast to cover his ears—instantly closing to skill range, and then, as both sides were startled, he dragged the weakest fourth-stage alien into the space.

Just like a bandit rushing out halfway, the giant sarcoma monster that had been habitually tensing its muscles to brute-force attacks also couldn't help but stare in shock, watching the alien spewing cation cannons vanish right before its eyes.

The speed was so fast it seemed like an illusion.

But for the alien dragged into the judgment space, that was no illusion.

Who!!?

A startled roar echoed.

After being suddenly pulled into the space, the fourth-stage alien, whose nerves were already highly tense, instantly felt a strong sense of unease.

He had already planned to escape!

Even the Overlords couldn't withstand the attacks of those two outside monsters; as a cooperating fourth-stage, he no longer had the will to fight!

But in his frantic struggle, he horrifiedly discovered his hands and feet seemed bound, his whole body unable to move.

The dark space isolating inside and out only filled him with a thick aura of death.

Especially...

It seems many of his own kin have died here!?

No nonsense.

After dragging this easiest-to-escape fourth-stage alien into the space, Lin An instantly appeared above its head like a silent grim reaper.

Deprive! Absorb!

Under double devouring, the life force, like mist, was instantly stripped from the alien's body and quickly replenished Lin An's internal energy.

The next second, he wielded swords with both hands and slashed, crossing into an X.

The sword light was like the moon.

As the cross-shaped silver-white light burst open instantly, a skyward spray of blood mist shot up into the space, but in the blink of an eye, the fourth-stage alien that had just been screaming died instantly.

After part of his bodily rules were destroyed by electromagnetic rules, the ensuing huge force, like a tsunami, suddenly destroyed his body, directly crushing his brain.

Fourth-stage beginner... too weak...

Just slightly using electromagnetic rules to break defense is enough... the rest, pure power can crush the opponent.

Looking at the wobbling fourth-stage corpse collapsing at his feet, Lin An slightly shook his head, raised his hand, and began to draw away the rule power.

After quickly drawing it out, he set his target on another alien Overlord.

He definitely couldn't kill two Overlords; even if they were injured, his rule power wouldn't support continuous combat.

Therefore, to maximize benefit, he chose to first kill a fourth-stage beginner, then finish off another Overlord alien that was nibbling at the light shield.

As for the remaining one, whose tail was being grabbed and hammered wildly, he had no intention of intervening.

Although it's a pity, Lin An clearly knows there are still two monsters outside; unsure if they'll attack him, he must retain some combat power.

Slurp

After gulping down the rule power of the beginner alien, Lin An instantly felt replenished a lot.

Since encountering the first Overlord alien, his rule power has hardly ever recovered fully. Including the Overlord he killed earlier at sea, even with the replenishment from devouring, basic consumption wasn't met, and he actually lost about 20 points of rule power.

If it weren't for the fact that the Overlord he's locked onto has already suffered major losses, with his rule reserve barely restored to forty percent, he wouldn't have much confidence in instantly defeating it.

Still... too weak...

The ratio of absorbed rule power is too low... otherwise I could completely keep dragging Overlords in to kill...

With a sigh, Lin An no longer dwelled on it; instead, a silver flash crossed his eyes as he once again dragged the struggling alien Overlord from outside into the space.

But this time, or rather the first time dragging an Overlord into the judgment space, Lin An suddenly felt his head sink and his mental power wildly drain.

This is...

Dragging a being of higher rank than oneself will cause consumption to skyrocket!?

Having never tested what dragging an Overlord does, Lin An felt a sudden headache and, without thinking further, struck again.

He could feel that if beings of his same rank or lower were dragged into the judgment space by him, he would, like a judge, be able to freely restrict their actions and decide life and death.

But dragging an Overlord with higher rule strength than his own not only skyrockets consumption; deep down, Lin An even feels this judgment space beginning to wobble—as if it were unstable.

At the same time, the Overlord suddenly dragged in first stared, then glared at Lin An with extreme vigilance.

Without extra words, compared to that beginner fourth-stage alien, this Overlord, once dragged in, instantly attacked the surrounding space!

What a swift reaction.

At the instant of being dragged in, he realized there was another party acting against him!

Break it for me!

Boom!!!!

Facing the Overlord who had already put up a rule defense in the outside world, Lin An's face darkened and he could only forcefully press forward.

Magnetic field shifting!

Spacetime superposition!

Invoking both great rules at once, Lin An seemed to reenact his previous heaven-shaking sword, instantly striking out!

What the hell!? Where is it!?

Unlike the initial shock at seeing something watching from the side, within just a few short seconds, both the alien species and the giant monster looked even more furious.

Especially the alien species.

Only one remained, only himself left; the Overlord-level alien, already half-beaten to death, instantly turned ashen-faced.

His companions had all disappeared! Moreover, he just seemed to have seen something being eaten in and then spit out!

Watching the pus-covered giant hand slam toward him again, the Overlord, who already knew he was going to die, suddenly felt an urge to self-destruct.

Rather than being smashed alive into meat paste, he'd rather self-destruct and die!

Especially given the ongoing abnormalities, he is well aware that his vanished companions likely also came to harm!

Now only he remains, yet he's been captured again—where is there any chance of survival!

But just as he, overcome by grief and rage, was about to self-destruct, within roughly two seconds, a pitch‑black, ink‑like voice suddenly appeared, wielding twin swords from the void.

A gigantic corpse, sliced apart while still alive, also reappeared, crashing down onto the ground with a thunderous impact.

That... is a human!? Twin swords!?

Wait... that's Lin An!?

What a quick reaction.

Upon realizing the opponent was none other than Lin An—whom even the Alien Species in the death battlefield knew of just recently—he froze on the spot.

However, freezing in the midst of battle is extremely dangerous, especially when faced with life and death.

"Bang!!"

At the same time.

Nearly exhausted, having almost depleted his Rule Reserve, Lin An sprang into a frantic sprint the moment he broke free of the Judgment Space.

He hadn't expected that the Alien Species Overlord holding up the light curtain looked already gravely injured, its Rule power nearly depleted.

But given that this was truly his first direct confrontation with the Overlord, he realized that if he couldn't instantly defeat the foe, his Judgment Space might be forced open.

Having no alternative, he boosted his Rule output, expending everything to cut down the opponent.

He didn't even have time to check the points notification; after exiting the space, he intended to flee first and worry about the rest later.

Although he had wondered whether these two monsters might be mutated humans, with too many uncertainties, he resolved to first put distance between them, no matter what.

"Whoosh—Boom!!"

At full speed, he had just rushed out, unwilling.

In that instant, Lin An heard the sound of a skull breaking, along with a somewhat delayed yet surprised shout.

"Human!?"

"Primitive human!?"

The voice came from the mouth of a gigantic monster covered head to toe in tumors.

All he saw was that after glancing toward the direction Lin An fled, the giant face, covered in pustules, actually displayed a humanoid expression.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he immediately shouted again:

"Come back! My kin!"

"That place is dangerous!!"
