Chapter 1596
Silently listening to Ke Lai En's scolding, Lin An, in his silence, discovered that he actually had no way to refute.
Yes, what Ke Lai En said may be harsh, but it is the truth.
Don't even mention accumulating and digesting; he doesn't even have time to exchange his rule power. Essentially, he relies on his abnormal attributes to gain strength comparable to the limit of the Fourth Stage.
"So, I cannot become Fifth Stage now, or rather, I am not suited to become one?"
"I at least have to wait until humanity's overall strength improves before..."
"No!"
"You're already on a path to death!"
Before Lin An could finish speaking, Ke Lai En let out a long breath, with a rustle, and conjured a blank sheet of paper and a pen with his bare hands.
"Lin An! Your current strength is already dangerous! If you become even a little stronger, or if humanity's overall strength increases even a little, it will immediately trigger a new disaster!"
"It's like a reservoir! You're about to burst this reservoir; a little more and the whole dam will collapse!"
"So I advise you that the only way to survive is to flee immediately!"
"As long as you run, you'll be fine, and humanity will be fine too!"
"Otherwise, you'll be dragging everyone down to be buried with you!"
"Buried with them!? Can't get stronger!? What the hell is this!? This damn system, how can it be so unreasonable!"
Standing to the side, Zhang Tie instantly became shocked and angry.
Although he couldn't fully understand what Ke Lai En had said earlier, he understood this passage!
Lin Dui becoming stronger is actually a bad thing!
If we don't want everyone to die, they can only choose to flee!
"What the hell!? How can becoming strong also be wrong!?"
In his silence, Lin An also seemed somewhat unable to accept this conclusion.
Although he had considered this issue before, he always felt that becoming stronger wasn't a big problem. Many times, he had borne it alone.
According to the disaster described by Klein, some disasters are already beyond what he personally can withstand.
With a heavy heart, Lin An, unlike Zhang Tie's impatience, took a deep breath and looked solemnly at Klein.
Is there no other way? Could it be that in all civilizations, no individual can suddenly become stronger? That's unreasonable; according to the rules of the Doomsday Game, it shouldn't give a dead end, and the system has no reason to deliberately target special individuals!
It's not that Lin An doesn't want to accept this fact, but in his discussion with Chu An, the system is 'favoring' the perfect ones!
That is the crystallization of a civilization, the last vestige of life left behind!
According to Klein, this perfect individual is actually a poison!
Could it be that the Faction: Long An will die, and humanity internally has realized this problem? No, it shouldn't be like that!
Faced with Lin An's question, Klein fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:
I've said it, Lin An. Actually, some things are very unfair to you.
An individual suddenly becoming stronger is not really a problem. The issue is that your power is too special.
Seeing Lin An's doubt, Klein quickly drew a triangular diagram and showed it to Lin An.
Your situation is too extreme.
If you are at the limit of the Rule System Fourth Stage, then, skilled in rules, you would have more means to deal with natural disasters. You should know that the Rule System gives back to civilization.
For example, if a solar helium flash erupts, if you were of the Space System, you could completely send the entire planet into another space, or simply cut the sun into another dimension!
Therefore, even if a Rule System Fifth Stage suddenly appears, the civilization still has hope to resist the apocalypse.
Furthermore, if you were of the Faith System, it simply wouldn't trigger a progress increase; even if the followers below caused it, it would only slightly raise the difficulty. In the system's evaluation, the Faith System is not counted as part of one's strength.
But...
Lin An, you are of the Body System...!
The Body System has strong combat power, but it also means lacking various special means! Put bluntly, you are an extreme offense-defense super lifeform! In one-on-one combat you can gain the advantage, but against various disasters you are far inferior to the other two!
There is no perfect path in this world! If you, Lin An, can crush other Fourth Stages in combat power, then you must necessarily be lacking in other aspects!
In fact, Body System Fifth Stage generally means having consumed one's own planet.
Klein let out a cold snort and looked at Lin An with a strange expression.
The Body System has always fought alone. Without clansmen, not even a single follower, so naturally there is no burden.
The growth path of a general Fifth Stage Body System basically relies on devouring one's own civilization.
After all, when weak, it's impossible to devour other civilizations.
But it is precisely the appearance of Lin An's special case that has led to the current nearly unsolvable deadlock.
After hearing Klein's explanation, Lin An silently clenched his fists, and after a long while he asked unwillingly:
What if... I abandon my bodily strength and take up the Faith Path again? Or the Rule System?
With points in hand, although giving up your current power would be seen as extremely wasteful and foolish by outsiders.
But Lin An knows what is truly important to himself.
Flee?
Klein's so-called 'nothing wrong' is merely clinging to life, and escape won't last long.
To hibernate, hide, and then be killed in one's hiding place like a rat in the sewer. Such an ending, Lin An would die unwillingly!
However, faced with Lin An's last hope, Klein mercilessly shattered his illusion.
Useless.
Lin An, how could you abandon your bodily strength? This is already bound to you, unless you give up everything. I know you lost power before, and you think you can regain it.
But it's useless. The last time you lost your power, it was merely temporarily stored somewhere. It's like when fleeing, you hide all your belongings in one place.
Unless you die, this power will always be counted by the system.
Moreover, even if you now return to the Faith Path and try to achieve Fifth Stage through faith, it's also useless.
"Your body is too strong; although faith Fifth Stage doesn't really improve physical fitness, but the transition from Fourth Stage to Fifth Stage is essentially a qualitative change."
"Even a little more, and the progress will still surge violently!"
After saying that, Ke Lai En looked at the silent Lin An, who seemed to be suppressing his unwillingness, and he secretly sighed.
He knew that such a thing was indeed cruel.
But he was also kindly advising Lin An.
After all, if Lin An truly chose to flee, he would only choose the amoeba worm world...
"The choice is yours, Lin An."
The test tube rolled over, and Ke Lai En gently pushed the filled, improved amoeba worm original solution toward Lin An.
Inside the test tube, the original solution shimmered with dark blue silver spots, resembling something Lin An was once most familiar with.
"Lin Dui... what should we do?"
In the laboratory with only the two of them, Zhang Tie looked at Lin An with a hoarse voice.
He felt somewhat helpless and also somewhat lost.
He could see that Lin Dui's mood was even heavier.
No answer.
Lin An was like a statue, merely silently gazing at the amoeba original solution before him.
After a long while, he opened his system communication.
Everything seemed unsolvable.
But perhaps that existence knows what to do.
"Respected Overseer, hello.."
"I am.."
"Lin An."
