Chapter 1430: I Die, You Live

Boom!!!!!! ——————」

The violent explosion sound entailed a shockwave of kilometers in height, like an invisible air wall spreading at supersonic speed, sweeping across.

A large group of Fourth Stage Alien Species desperately rushing toward the Conversion Core suddenly stalled, shockedly stabilizing their flight in the violent airflow.

Flying debris scattered, covering the sky and earth.

The earth trembled for a long time; after this super explosion ended, only in the distant sky did a blood-colored light sphere seem to rise.

It spread, trembling.

Like a star's life reaching its end, the explosion core resembling a red dwarf star is now slowly rising, vast amounts of energy intertwining together, illuminating the entire dark sky.

And at the center of the blood-colored explosion sphere, two huge 'monsters' each four hundred meters in size are battling.

However, in the eyes of the Alien Species, it's less a battle and more a one-sided massacre.

Even though they are extremely far apart, they can still vaguely see: the white monster violently tearing off the other's arm and then gulping it down.

"That... is the King!?"

"No.. how is this possible!!?"

"My God! What on earth is that monster!?"

After being stunned for several seconds, the Alien Species army that had been preparing to desperately reinforce stood with their mouths agape in disbelief.

Through that blurry outline, they instantly recognized the left-side black shadow of a half-human, half-snake trying to flee as their own king, while the right-side figure was a strange creature covered in sharp bone spikes.

As the opponent inserted their arm into the king's chest cavity, as if gripping the king's spine, the king's body was being torn apart piece by piece!

Such a shocking and cruel scene instantly left them stunned.

Fortunately, the leading Alien Species Overlord quickly regained consciousness after a brief moment of dazedness.

In an instant, his cold scales stood on end, and he let out a sudden roar:

"Charge!! Go save the King!!!"

His eyes were blood-red.

Although he couldn't believe what he was seeing, it was obvious that the King was being devoured by a monster! And the earlier explosion was actually the Conversion Core being blown apart!!!

They no longer had the luxury to worry about all that! Nor could they worry about what that monster was!

All they could do was rush back first, help the King fight first, and talk later!

Meanwhile, in another direction, the Alien Species area.

All the way, they barely followed the scent left by the tracking mark implanted in Lin An's body.

Finally stopping inside a fresh giant pit, the General solemnly gazed at the three white bone corpses on the ground.

A shattered snake head, a skeleton picked clean, and a spine likewise smashed.

It was obvious that the several Alien Species corpses they had found along the way had all been eaten by Lin An.

However, the trail roughly ended at the third area, as if after this, Lin An's hidden marking ability had become stronger.

Or perhaps... a certain special condition had deepened...

"The trail disappears here..."

"If Lin An regained his sanity, he would likely flee to the left... after all, the right side is the Alien Species' core area."

"So... we should be able to go..."

Lost in thought.

The General subconsciously ruled out the Alien Species' side as being caused by Lin An.

Or if it really was caused by Lin An, then with the Alien Species now fully supporting the return, they couldn't even get a word in edgewise. Rather than that, he would prefer to believe they are two separate matters, and that Lin An is not the culprit behind the panic.

But just as he lifted his head to look toward the direction where Lin An might have fled...

A violent shock suddenly came from the right.

"General!! Core!! Core!!"

Stunned speechless.

Like the Alien Species, the large group of mutants who had deliberately stayed away from the Alien Species at this moment, like they were dumbfounded, blankly stared at the distant rising red sun.

Beneath that sun, the intimately familiar King-level Alien Species and White Bone Monster instantly caused them to lose consciousness.

This is...

He suddenly turned his head, the General staring fixedly at the distant phenomenon.

For some reason, although he had never seen a White Bone Monster before, at this moment a name suddenly flashed in his mind.

It was...

Lin An!?

His pupils suddenly contracted.

Instinctively, his whole body shuddered.

The General took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold fill his spirit.

Although far away, he could barely see that Lin An was currently devouring a King-level Alien Species.

The panic came from the position, and even more from... Lin An's speed of enhancement.

"Three hours... zero six minutes!!!"

If he remembered correctly, three hours ago, when he had attacked Lin An, Lin An's displayed combat strength was merely equal to Fourth Stage Intermediate at best.

Only at this moment did he suddenly realize where his unease came from.

He seemed to have committed a grave mistake.

"Boom!!! Boom!!!"

He punched down, blow after blow.

The elongated snake head protruded in the deep pit.

Only a fragment of the spine remains, still attached.

Accompanied by the weak cries of the king‑rank alien species, stepping on its chest, the Aberrant Mutant Lin An merely punched down repeatedly, striking the hardest part of the Fury Fang's skull.

The huge snake head was caved in from the blows; after being eaten, only the torso remained. If not for its extraordinarily tenacious vitality, the Fury Fang would already be dead by now.

Its limbs had been completely devoured, yet Lin An seemed unwilling to relent, wanting to smash open his skull alive and scoop out his brain matter.

Unable to resist, as the Alien Species' fourth‑stage specialty—rule‑based attacks—were ineffective against the Aberrant Mutant and even turned against him, he could only watch helplessly like a lamb awaiting slaughter as he was devoured.

If possible, the Fury Fang would rather not possess such formidable vitality, so as not to endure this torment.

Meanwhile, within the Thought Space.

Unlike the ever‑growing, supremely powerful Aberrant Mutant form outside, the Second Will at this moment was like a candle in the wind—pale‑faced, and even the body projected by its will seemed somewhat indistinct.

He silently watched the Aberrant Mutant, which displayed god‑like might and could devour even king‑rank beings.

He saw the Alien Species army surging madly from all directions.

Although it now appears that, in the Aberrant Mutant state, 'they' are safe.

As the Aberrant Mutant, I am enough to slaughter all these invading Alien Species.

But the Second Will clearly sees that this is now a complete dead end.

Kill this batch, and another will follow.

The Alien Species have now detected him; if the Aberrant Mutant continues to strengthen, it will truly devour the entire world.

The ensuing onslaught could only be mustered by mobilizing every king‑rank and Overlord; under the assault of millions of Alien Species, the Aberrant Mutant could not survive.

Even the Mutated Humans would join forces with the Alien Species.

Of course, perhaps there is a chance...

There is a slim chance that the Aberrant Mutant can drag on until the final stage, at which point it will be the world's Apocalypse.

But, no matter what.

For the Second Will, the outcome is already decided.

If the Aberrant Mutant dies, he dies.

If the Aberrant Mutant lives, he still dies.

He no longer paid attention to the battle outside.

The Second Will suddenly lifted his head to look at Lin An, who was still blissfully unaware and asleep.

His face showed struggle, unwillingness, even resentment and jealousy.

Why must he suffer here while Lin An lies there, obliviously asleep?

As if talking to himself, he gazed at Lin An's sleeping face, a flash of extremely complex emotion crossing his eyes, then strode away.

"Lin An..."

"I really am envious of you; I truly am unwilling..."

"Why do you still have everything?!"

"Why does everyone have to help you?!"

"I refuse!! I really refuse!!"

"I truly hate you; I hate that you were chosen; I hate that you didn't die, leaving me to face Chu An!!"

Looking down from above, the Second Will fixed his gaze on Lin An's face, his right hand raised high as if intending to kill Lin An with his own hands before dying.

He hated himself for being too kind‑hearted and soft‑handed, hoping to gradually assimilate and occupy this body.

He hated his indecisiveness, wishing to obtain the system before killing Lin An.

He hated himself for not being more wary of Chu An; he wished he could coldly watch Lin An die!

He had warned Lin An more than once that Chu An was problematic!

Now it's fine! Everything is too late! Both of them have fallen into Chu An's scheme at the same time!

From this moment on, Chu An will resurrect the perfect beings of their race, and all his and Lin An's efforts and hopes will go up in smoke!

Even if he no longer suppressed his emotions, the Second Will, steeped in extreme anger and resentment, finally slowly lowered his hand.

He slowly closed his eyes.

In the end, the Second Will still turned into a long sigh.

"I truly am unwilling..."

"It should be me who dies...."

In an instant, an ancient‑looking key and a silver hourglass drifted slowly beside him.

Causal Sequence, reverse the Fifth Stage.

He will bear it.

Or, by force, transform into a Fearful Body to halt the mutation.

Lin An, having gained a large amount of points, can upon awakening instantly break through all attributes and escape alive before the encirclement.

"No matter how I choose, it's all death..."

"Hahahaha...."
