Chapter 1620: Accept the Mission

After a brief silence, the Eye of Judgment sent a somewhat hesitant message.

Star Battlefield.

This is the mission he had previously prepared for Lin An.

In the Star Battlefield, there will be a large number of Fifth Stage confrontations and slaughter.

Although the intensity is high, it is still a genuine clash of power; as long as one's survivability is strong enough, surviving is not difficult.

This is somewhat advantageous for Lin An.

But the premise is that Lin An must be Fifth Stage.

Now letting Lin An enter is undoubtedly like letting an ant mix into a herd of elephants; any Fifth Stage could easily crush him.

Even without hostile Fifth Stage taking action.

Just the aftermath of battle is something Lin An cannot withstand.

Moreover, a Fourth Stage mixing into a Fifth Stage battlefield will surely attract a lot of attention.

"Star Battlefield... melee... minimum all Fifth Stage?"

Looking at the message sent by the Overseer, Lin An gave a light chuckle, merely sending a confirmation message.

He of course could hear the meaning in the Overseer's words.

But does he still have a choice?

Either flee or die.

Fleeing is waiting to die; giving it his all, perhaps he still has hope to seek a breakthrough between life and death.

Compared to waiting for death, Lin An only intends to grasp his fate in his own hands.

"All Fifth Stage..."

"I still have two reversals..."

"With this pseudo-Fifth Stage, faith form, a moment of mutation?"

"Points can still help me resist several hits, but I don't know if they work against Fifth Stage..."

"Do I have any other trump cards?"

Since he has already made up his mind.

After Lin An sent the confirmation message, he constantly calculated what ways he still had to survive.

Although, these trump cards are meaningless before Fifth Stage...

The interior of the azure silver core.

The Eye of Judgment floated silently in midair, speechless.

The tentacles extending from his body froze on the control panel, unmoving for a long time.

Pressing it will change the mission.

But at this moment, he actually hesitated a little.

Although rationally speaking, he doesn't care at all about Lin An's life or death.

Even.

As an Overseer, he should be more vigilant about whether Lin An will flee.

If Lin An intends to flee, he must strike to kill.

If Lin An does not flee, it also means fewer troubles for him, which is good.

Just...

"Voluntary sacrifice?"

"Would rather gamble one's life to continue civilization?"

He muttered to himself.

As the Eye of Judgment whispered, a strange emotion flashed in its eyes.

He has seen too many people willing to fight for their own civilization.

He has also seen many who died in battle during the Apocalypse, fighting monsters to the last moment.

But these people, without exception, were forced to face the mission and died in the Apocalypse that rightfully belonged to them.

Someone like Lin An who actively seeks death, he has still never seen before.

Especially...

If he were Lin An, he would rather face the stellar crisis.

Compared to the Star Battlefield, the stellar crisis at most destroys planets; he himself still has a high probability of surviving.

At worst, leading the remaining humans to become wanderers, they will surely survive.

But if choosing the Star Battlefield.

Humans will be fine, but the one who dies will be himself.

How foolish!

Unable to understand what Lin An is thinking, the Eye of Judgment snorted and paid no more attention.

Not to mention Lin An's death; even if a hundred Earths, a thousand human civilizations were destroyed, he would feel nothing.

In this universe, the least lacking thing is life.

But just as he shook his head and pressed the confirmation message.

In his peripheral vision, he suddenly saw the crystal placed on the control panel.

It was a crystal of the same azure planet.

That was his former home.

"Lin Dui!"

「Another traitor has attacked us! 」

「Damn it! Those bastards! They're deliberately stopping us from saving people! 」

Above the Yellow Sea War Zone, Zhang Tie's eyes were filled with violent rage.

In his hand, a skull crushed to a pulp, like a helmet, only half of the skullcap remained.

Before him, a card floated, emitting strange waves.

Without a doubt, the woman he killed in his hand was also a false Fourth Stage created by that group of escapees!

With sea beasts erupting worldwide, large numbers of survivors began to seek help.

As Long An, which intended to unify the world, they naturally had to intervene to save people.

But whenever they dispatched troops to save people, false Fourth Stages would always pop up along the way to ambush them!

After over a hundred attacks, let alone saving people, even the troops they sent out suffered heavy casualties!

Unable to endure any longer, Zhang Tie simply mixed into the ranks, waiting for the enemy to come to them!

But there were too many; he alone could never kill them all!

Moreover.

With Long An unable to spare manpower and these traitors slandering them left and right, global public opinion was about to explode.

「Contract our forces; wait for my return. 」

Unlike what Zhang Tie imagined, Lin An would also fly into a rage, and would simply kill these traitors first before anything else.

In the squad's communications, Lin An merely spoke with a hoarse voice, telling them not to send anyone out anymore.

「Captain Lin?! 」

Xiong Hanzi gaped, his face full of confusion.

Hearing Lin An's somewhat weary voice, his anger vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of panic.

Screw it!?

Forget it, then—wait for Captain Lin to return? What does that mean!?

「Captain Lin?! You're leaving again! 」

Not bothering to worry about the slander these scumbags heap on them, and familiar with Lin An's tendency not to easily explain things...

At this very moment, Zhang Tie suddenly realized that Lin An likely had something else he hadn't told them, and was planning to go out and risk his life again!

What is it!? Did that group of escapees cause another disaster somewhere else!?

Seeing Zhang Tie panic, Lin An gave a bitter smile in his heart, and only after a long while did he slowly speak.

「The sea beast disaster is not a big problem. 」

「The later disasters will cease, and those Fourth Stages won't pose any threat either. 」

「Zhang Tie, after I leave, go find Tyre, Ron, and if Andre comes back, call him too. 」

「Together, you should be able to control the situation. 」

After a brief pause, Lin An subconsciously looked up at the storm overhead and spoke softly:

「A newer, greater disaster is coming soon. 」

「If not resolved, everyone will die... 」

「I.... must go... 」

No more hiding anything.

After Lin An finished speaking softly, he flew toward Long An.

The problems Zhang Tie currently worries about, including the attacks of those false Fourth Stages on him, actually aren't worth much.

He hasn't not thought about capturing a batch of false Fourth Stages, killing them in front of all the survivors to prove himself, to prove who the real culprit is.

But Lin An clearly knows these are useless.

The escapees surely still have a trump card.

The truth is meaningless; for people, whoever lets them survive is right.

Even if Lin An now killed all the traitors and single-handedly slaughtered all the sea beasts, it would still be pointless.

Without the sea beast disaster, there are still other disasters.

Without false Fourth Stages, there are still other ways to control humanity.

If the core problem isn't solved, nothing means anything.

「Face the Fifth-Stage mission ahead of time. 」

「Only after surviving will I have the time to become Fifth Stage. 」

「Then, completely resolve everything! 」

With fists clenched tightly, Lin An silently watched the war zone channel, where many survivors doubted him, and watched those traitors slander him.

People are always blind, "foolish".

Even though the alien species previously claimed that Lin An himself was the monster, he had only just proven himself not to be.

But faced with these humans' "Fourth Stage" lies, people still believed them.
