Chapter 1408: Thoughts of the Aberrant

As the startled cries rang out, Lin An, who had originally been standing in midair, suddenly felt a tremendous pressure burst from the general's body and press down upon him.

It was as if the entire space had been disturbed; in his shock, his breath briefly went out of control, instantly causing the whole scene to stagnate.

So strong...

Feeling the immense pressure emanating purely from the general's flesh, Lin An couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

In his rough calculation, the fourth-stage advanced aberrant before him had attributes of at least nine hundred points! One must know that attributes have always followed exponential growth.

In his early estimates, Lin An had always thought the limit for a fourth-stage advanced aberrant was around eight hundred points, with the peak being one thousand.

But now it seems far higher than he imagined.

Is it because aberrant humans themselves are inherently attribute-strong, or... do all fourth-stage aberrants who walk the flesh path possess such terrifying power?

Without giving him time to think further, the general at this moment simply stared at him fixedly; huge, like a globe constantly turning inside and out, his eyeballs filled with disbelief.

No wonder he was so shaken.

They indeed knew that the Alien Species Sovereign and a batch of high-stage alien species had left the Land of Death Battle, but they assumed the other side had internal problems or something else.

Such things have not been unheard of in the long war.

Anyway, the war between the two sides only erupts in the Land of Death Battle, so they didn't care about the departing Alien Species Sovereign.

For them to come back would be merely a matter of a short time.

But now the news Lin An gave them actually claimed that the Alien Species Sovereign had left this world!? Gone beyond the gate!?

Such astonishing news is no different from a heavyweight bomb!

This feeling is like the German army leader in WWII on Earth directly running to Mars!

Moreover, what the identity of the Alien Species Sovereign signifies need not be mentioned—it is a super existence representing the supreme combat power of both sides!

"He personally came to hunt you down!?"

"On what basis!? You're truly a Perfected One!?"

"Wait, how long have you experienced the apocalypse!?"

"How do you prove what you're saying!!"

His reaction was extremely swift.

Almost within a second, his pupils contracted and his eyes stopped rolling; the Supreme Commander of the 77th War Hub immediately reacted, firing off four questions in succession, as if still unable to believe it, asking the key points.

The news was truly too shocking.

If previously he had still not cared for Lin An, merely regarding him as a tiny ant from another world desperately seeking their help.

At this moment, he actually felt a strong sense of unease.

An existence that would cause the Sovereign to personally act to hunt it down, even if now weak, implies unimaginable potential!

Especially after dealing with the alien species for so many years, he deeply understands what it means for even the Sovereign to personally intervene...

You must know that seven years ago, in the most brutal super-war at the Land of Death Battle, even though over a hundred general-level Overlords died on both sides, neither side's Sovereign had any intention of intervening!

Seeing the aberrant general suddenly treat him with solemnity, Lin An let out a faint sigh, then a white light flashed in his hand as he threw out two skulls and a recording prop.

"The first batch of alien species that hunted me were, roughly half a year ago, third-stage aliens; they occupied human bodies and carried fourth-stage tokens in pursuit of me."

"The second batch that hunted me was, a little over a week ago, a total of four fourth-stage aliens, followed by the Sovereign's descent."

No extra talk.

To be honest, Lin An actually didn't want to reveal this information.

But the arrow is nocked; he has no choice but to release it.

He does not use the Alien Species Sovereign's attitude toward him to prove his worth, and the aberrant humans' side would not care about him either.

Choosing the lesser of two evils, Lin An cares more about the threat posed by the alien species side than about fully exposing himself as a Perfected One and his growth speed.

He did not answer the general's question about when the apocalypse broke out on Earth's side.

Based on the hunting timeline, he believes the other party can realize how long it took him to reach this point.

As expected.

After directly grabbing the aberrant skull he threw into his massive palm, the general at this moment, his face full of solemnity, looked at the proof Lin An provided; a moment later, as if incredulous, he drew a deep breath, causing a storm to suddenly erupt within the hall.

"One year? Two years?"

"Your civilization has only just come into contact with the apocalypse!?"

"Third stage... half a year... you were still third stage half a year ago!?"

Alarming to hear.

Even in their civilization's records, they have participated in many confrontations and contacted part of other civilizations; the aberrant humans have always considered their race's talent to be outstanding, already one of the fastest‑advancing civilizations.

But compared to Lin An's enhancement speed, it's simply not on the same level.

Especially, he actually learned Lin An's current combat strength from his subordinates!

Barely able to swiftly kill a severely wounded Overlord, strictly speaking, this counts as intermediate fourth‑stage combat power.

This point seems unremarkable at first glance, but considering that Lin An said the second batch of alien pursuers sent were merely fourth‑stage initial, with his thinking ability it's not hard to imagine what this implies!

Alien species would absolutely not be foolish enough to give away heads!

Then this shows that the "ant" before us certainly did not exceed fourth‑stage initial strength a little over a week ago!

Terrifying, too terrifying...

Amid the continually rising air‑storm, the general for the first time seriously sized up Lin An, his eyes full of apprehension.

After multiple logics cross‑checked, if this worm's enhancement speed truly is this fast, then for the alien species it is indeed an enormous threat, worthy of the Sovereign personally hunting it down!

To be honest, if he were the Alien Species Sovereign, he would also act immediately, without hesitation, to annihilate Lin An!

Such potential must mean he is a Perfected One, and moreover one of the extremely strong among Perfected Ones.

Perhaps he could rival that existence they once had!

All contempt swept away, replaced by absolute attention!

How did you manage to stay alive?

What do you want?!

The chaotic storm was forcibly dispelled, gradually returning to a state of rationality, and the general locked his gaze straight onto Lin An, speaking in a low voice.

At their level, pointless talk is utterly unnecessary.

He was too curious, curious how Lin An escaped from the Sovereign's grasp and still managed—or dared—to flee here!

He was also curious about what Lin An actually intended to do.
