Chapter 1411: with translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,268 words

Black, like a void, inside the Judgment space.

The Lin An with only half his body left resembled a broken silkworm cocoon, his flesh and blood a blur, making it hard to tell if he was alive or dead.

The space shook, twisted.

Originally rock‑solid enough to suppress an early Fourth Stage Judgment space, at this moment it was like a soap bubble in a gale; after forcibly dragging in a high‑Fourth Stage Aberrant Mutant, it clearly could no longer bear the power of both.

The Aberrant Mutant that was suddenly pulled in froze briefly, then its massive form, which seemed to fill the entire space, moved slightly and instantly shook off the restraints.

At a glance he found the nearly dying Lin An inside the space; he couldn't help but snicker, his huge, constantly rotating eyeball looking over like it was staring at a mouse.

"You think just facing me alone means you won't die?"

"To die by my hand is also your honor..."

"Remember my name, Ke Lei De."

Simple intention, shocking words.

As his words fell, perhaps it was some feeling with Lin An's identity as a Perfect One.

Perhaps it was the last 'pity' for another civilization.

After Ke Lei De briefly delayed, he then stretched out his huge hand, preparing to crush Lin An in one grip.

The Perfect One is indeed a rare existence.

Unfortunately, they shouldn't be encountered at this stage.

Believing that after killing this Perfect One, they would gain an unexpected harvest....

At the same time, Lin An, nearly exhausted of all vitality like a corpse, with his blurred, bloody face, his barely opened eyes stared fixedly at the incoming giant hand.

At this moment, the Second Will seemed to have made some decision; after a hint of a mad, grim smile appeared on his face, two fragments suddenly appeared in midair.

"I don't want to trigger the aberrant mutation..."

"It's you... forcing me!!!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Painful howl.

In an instant, under the Aberrant Mutant's bewildered gaze, the two somewhat strange fragments instantly sank into Lin An's forehead; then, as if bearing immense pain, an aura of extreme evil suddenly burst forth within the space.

Accompanied by the sound of flesh being pierced, the Aberrant Mutant that had been preparing to crush Lin An felt a sudden, intense stabbing pain in his palm.

This is!?

No time to react.

In the Aberrant Mutant's shocked, even slightly panicked giant eye, a pallid flash suddenly shot into view.

In that instant, a monster covered head to toe in bone spikes was seen rapidly swelling; in the blink of an eye, those sharp bone spikes burst through his palm.

No time to cry out in pain.

He couldn't understand how his physical strength could possibly be injured.

However, in an extremely short time, that white mass transformed into a monster about his size, appearing before him.

An inexplicable familiarity, an inexplicable fear.

Although he had never seen this form of monster, at this moment the Aberrant Mutant, who stood at high Fourth Stage, inexplicably felt a strong sense of panic welling up in his heart.

It was as if... under their coercion, a sin that should not exist in this world had been unleashed.

Why do I feel so familiar!? What is this thing!?

Is he not human!?

Stunned and dazed, Ke Lei De had no time to react.

All he heard was a sharp, hellish howl; in the blink of an eye, a bone spike as large as a blade, exceeding his reaction limit, suddenly pierced his heart.

"Xiaaaa!!!"

In an instant.

A brutal, bloody massacre began.

Curled up in the remaining Thought Space, the Second Will wore a grim smile; despite his will being almost steel‑like, waves of pain, as if his brain marrow were being torn away, continued to surge from the depths of his soul.

He endured the immense pain, and merely, while he could still influence the Aberrant Mutant, issued his final command.

"Consume it, then use Void Walk to escape from here..."

Unlike Lin An, who believed he could not control the aberrant state, he, who in his Past Life had long coexisted with the aberrant state, had actually already explored some abilities to influence the Aberrant Mutant.

Indeed, he indeed cannot control this 'self' in that form, but at least he can slightly influence it.

Consume this Aberrant Mutant, then tear open a spatial passage within the Judgment space to escape from here.

Although the latter carries great risk, he isn't sure where this escape method would send him, but he has no other choice.

This is an almost certain death predicament; being able to live even one more second is already a miracle.

Like a spectator, he forcibly stayed conscious, viewing the Aberrant Mutant's battle from a third‑person perspective with a complex expression.

If possible, he truly does not want to enter the aberrant state.

Unlike Lin An's belief that the aberrant state alone could not turn the tide, the Second Will had already realized, upon obtaining the second fragment, that this was their last trump card.

Reversing to the Fifth Stage is not a trump card, but mutual destruction.

But when both fragments simultaneously trigger the aberrant mutation, it is enough to gain most of the combat power of the primal aberrant state.

Of course, the cost is mental confusion, suffering even more severe mental erosion.

"Third aberrant mutation..."

"I don't even know how much longer I can hold on..."

For some reason, although the Second Will had already gained hope of escape, he now couldn't help but clench his fists tightly and let out a low, grim laugh.

If one says the cost of the previous aberrant mutation was borne by Lin An's true self...

Then this time.

Then it's him.

The cost of such extreme mutation is nearly more than ten times that of the previous two combined.

At this very moment, he even felt that he had begun to suffer a chronic death.

Mental death is more terrifying than bodily death.

If bodily death still offers hope of resurrection, of rebirth like Zhang Tie, then mental death means being utterly erased from this world, turning into a monster that only devours everything.

This is an irreversible disappearance!

For some reason, the Second Will, forced to this point, actually feels strongly that it has been schemed against.

He doesn't know why this desperate situation has arisen! He doesn't know why he has come to this point!

He had considered that entering the Alien Species world would bring an extremely high probability of uncontrollable danger, but this encounter is truly too bizarre!

Lin An's mind suffered heavy damage, unable to trigger mutation, and there was no time to reverse the Fifth Stage.

So, as someone who does not want to die, he naturally can only "voluntarily" bear the price of mutation.

Looking back now, he feels that everything is too coincidental...

This is basically forcing him to commit suicide! Forcing him to break the situation at the cost of sacrificing himself!

"Are you...?"

"Chu An!!!"

"Glug glug"

The sound of large gulps and the silent low roar of the Second Will sounded simultaneously.

In the dark, the judgment space on the verge of shattering, a white bone-spike monster was greedily digging and eating the heart beneath its feet.

As the energy-filled mutated being's flesh and blood continuously poured into his stomach, waves of invisible power surged, gradually rising.

It was as if he had absorbed the power of the mutated being.

The bone spikes grew longer.

And Lin An.

He also became stronger.
