Chapter 1472

"Lin Emperor, are we going back now?"

Following behind Lin An, the Annihilator Overlord asked about the past for the third time.

Noticing that the Annihilator Overlord was overly concerned about returning to Earth, Lin An frowned slightly and immediately reduced his flight speed.

Equipment and Tools

Equipment

Props

Although Lin An didn't know what the Annihilator Overlord was thinking, being able to make a Fourth Stage existence, an Overlord who had signed a slave contract, care so much, Lin An didn't think there would be no problems at all.

Especially since he could clearly feel that the Annihilator Overlord had been repeatedly hinting at matters concerning Earth along the way.

Moreover... he was overly respectful, as if trying to conceal something.

It seems he noticed Lin An's vigilance; Gao Yan's heart jolted, and he then frankly explained.

"Lin Emperor, actually after thinking it over, being able to return to Earth with you is far better than hiding in the dungeon."

"Earth... what a wonderful place. I heard that the Apocalypse difficulty there is only elementary..."

"Nothing has been destroyed yet; everywhere is vibrant green..."

His eyes showing emotion, the Annihilator Overlord sincerely and earnestly looked at Lin An:

"Do you know? In fact, the Alien Species Emperor was so eager back then to open the bronze gate, partly because they longed to live on Earth."

Annihilator Overlord

He gave a bitter laugh, and the Annihilator Overlord let out a long sigh.

It seemed as if he recalled that he too had wanted to be among the first to cross the two worlds, but was refused by the Alien Species Sovereign.

Heavenly Eye People

The life of the first batch of alien species is indeed very enjoyable.

"Not only that, your strength is too strong! Strong enough that you can definitely safely get through the first few rounds of catastrophe!"

"To be honest, your strength level has already far exceeded the normal situation of Earth civilization!"

"At least within several decades, or even a century, the disasters that break out on Earth's side can be easily resolved for you!"

"Of course, the premise is that you cannot become Fifth Stage."

With a hint of flattery, the Annihilator Overlord seemed wholeheartedly devoted, accepting all of this as self-consolation.

"Following you back, I'm not boasting; with my strength, though compared to you I'm merely an ant, I can definitely help you handle many trivial matters!"

"I think, to some extent I can also become your capable assistant, and you will surely not mistreat me."

"Working in a beautiful world, being able to serve you is actually not a bad thing."

His eyes flickering, listening to the Annihilator Overlord's explanation, Lin An frowned slightly, but could not find any problem.

Indeed.

If the Annihilator has no second thoughts, to some extent he is absolutely more comfortable on Earth than here.

With Lin An resisting the Apocalypse, and Earth's overall strength being so weak, even if the Annihilator Overlord is a dog in front of Lin An, to others he is still the supreme, absolutely invincible Fourth Stage Overlord!

Being under one person and above ten thousand is actually not unacceptable.

As for the long-term peaceful development spoken by the Annihilator Overlord, Lin An remained noncommittal.

According to the Annihilator Overlord's experience, if Lin An does not become Fifth Stage, the difficulty level of the Apocalypse will only gradually rise to around the peak of Fourth Stage. This is roughly the same as the Heavenly Eye people's side.

But for Lin An, he will not sit and wait for death, indulging in this bit of leisure time.

After integrating all of Earth's forces, he will then launch the next step plan, actively opposing the Apocalypse!

Those who cling to life and fear death, those who indulge in ease, will only meet a worse end!

This point, whether Heavenly Eye people or native humans, they have all given Lin An enough lessons with their blood and tears!

"If I take you back, will the punishment on your body also sync to Earth?"

With sufficient vigilance, Lin An abruptly asked.

After his careful consideration, the only thing he could think of that the Annihilator Overlord could cause damage with was probably only the system punishment.

This guy's life and death are in his thoughts; if he harbors even a hint of disloyalty, he will immediately self-destruct.

Therefore, Lin An really couldn't think of what other means the Annihilator Overlord could use to deceive him.

"Of course not! Lin Emperor!"

Seeing Lin An coldly open his mouth to ask, the Annihilator Overlord hastily opened his own system panel, displaying it fully before Lin An.

"Lin Emperor, rest assured! If you discover that I will cause you any loss, you can completely kill me!"

"The system punishment on us only affects us fugitives. Look at the system explanation; it clearly states that as fugitives, we only have two paths to choose."

"First, participate in the system's resistance dungeon, becoming one of its trials, that is, becoming an 'npc'."

"Second, actively enter the punishment dungeon; after surviving, one can rest for a period of time and then continue participating!"

"Of course, you know! These two paths are both dead ends for us! If we hide and do not use the system's power, the system can do nothing to us!"

Looking at the Annihilator Overlord desperately trying to prove himself, Lin An nodded slightly, indicating that the other party need not say more.

The system explanation will not be false.

After the Annihilator Overlord is brought back by him, the other party will actively shield its own abilities derived from the system, meaning it will not use any system Equipment, Props, or functions.

Including the power given by the system, if it can be not used, then not use it.

In this way, the Annihilator Overlord is like a black household, able to keep hiding without being forced by the system to issue tasks.

This is also the path of those fugitives, and also the reason why the fugitives' strength continually weakens.

Doing this, although the Annihilator Overlord's strength will greatly decrease, for Lin An it is also sufficient.

Even as an enforcer, even if the Annihilator Overlord relies only on physical strength, it is enough to crush the whole world.

At critical moments, directly ordering the Annihilator Overlord to unleash full combat power, using it as cannon fodder is also not unacceptable.

Having made up his mind and confirmed he had missed nothing, Lin An simply stopped thinking further.

Logically speaking, the Annihilator could not possibly have any ability to resist.

Before the Bronze Door.

Vast fragments of planetary cores, like puzzle pieces, burned with flames in the dark void of space.

It was as if in a deserted hell, a gigantic bronze door the size of a mountain range stood towering before his eyes.

Seeing a crack opened before him, through which faint images could be glimpsed inside the door, Lin An's heart stirred with a rare agitation.

It felt as if a day had passed.

Feeling the familiar aura emanating from beyond the door, even Lin An, no matter how calm, couldn't help but feel somewhat excited.

Although his time in the Alien Species world was not long, every minute and second his nerves were stretched to the limit! The journey into the Alien Species world was absolutely the most perilous experience he had undergone since his rebirth!

Died... far too many people...

His mind and thoughts, which had been overloaded for a long time, finally relaxed completely at this moment.

Lin An placed his palm on the Bronze Door with a complex gaze, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

He, could finally go home.

«Points Exchange! »

«Open the Bronze Door! »

Taking a deep breath, in that instant Lin An directly poured his energy frantically into the Bronze Door.

As the price for opening the transmission, the former Alien Species had opened it by sacrificing vast numbers of their kin.

So for Lin An, it was merely a matter of spending a few more points!

With the infusion of energy, the Bronze Door, gradually flashing with a blood-red glow, seemed to be slowly pushed open, emitting a piercing metallic clang.

In the blink of an eye, a vast transmission force instantly enveloped Lin An and the Annihilator.

«Go! »

«Return to Earth! »

As the words fell, Lin An hesitated not and rushed headfirst into the door.

And the Annihilator, closely following behind, also excitedly matched Lin An's pace and charged straight in.

But at the moment of stepping into the door, a flash of extreme vengeful intent, as if no longer concealed, flickered in the Annihilator's eyes.

Go die...

Lin An!!
