Chapter 1644: Shatter-Star Level

The cold notification struck like a bolt from the blue, instantly stunning everyone.

Especially the two words 'Shatter-Star Level' were like terror itself, causing the expressions of all Fifth Stages to drastically change!

Shatter-Star Level!?

At least it's an Advanced Fifth Stage Shatter-Star Level!?

Damn it! How could such a monster appear in this mission!?

Trembling all over, all Fifth Stage Star-Destroying Levels who had been clashing and unleashing their power turned deathly pale and stiffened in place.

What are we still fighting for!? What are we still proving!?

They actually are also one of the hunted parties!?

No one understands the terror of Shatter-Star Level better than they do!

Although they are only one level apart, in the face of Shatter-Star Level they are like ants and will be instantly killed!

A monster of that level can often decide the war of an entire star field single-handedly!

Anyone who has witnessed a Shatter-Star Level will feel fear from the depths of their heart!

"Who is it!?"

"Who is it!?"

It's unimaginable that a monster is hiding among the crowd.

The Radiant, who had been full of pride, now had a slightly distorted voice, looking at everyone in terror.

And the Fifth Stage Chimera, still angrily roaring, now became mute as a fish, its huge dragon eyes shrinking to pinpricks, flapping its wings as if about to flee.

Having once witnessed a Shatter-Star Level in action, it had almost been captured by that Shatter-Star Level to be eaten as food!

Such a monster can wipe out a civilization as easily as drinking water!

With fear spreading, everyone present wanted to flee.

With such a monster hidden among them, isn't it obvious they intend to slaughter them all!?

Especially, the communication system said that the monster's mission is to kill all factions!

Mistaken, all mistaken!

All their previous judgments were mistaken!

They simply couldn't figure it out, nor could they find out who that Shatter-Star Level monster was!

At the same time, as everyone's mindset exploded, taking advantage of the moment they weren't paying attention to him, Lin An made a move to escape!

The reason was simple; he, who had been staring at the mission info, instantly saw the mark on his own information!

Damn!

He never expected such an outrageous, unbelievable thing to actually happen!

Perhaps it was even greater than the shock everyone else suffered.

At this moment, Lin An only wanted to flee quickly; he dared not imagine what situation he would face once the mark information appeared.

However, the system's marking speed was just as fast as before.

Just as everyone came to their senses and began frantically searching for the monster.

A jet of black light shot up from Lin An's body in an instant.

Under a blackness as thick as death, the system seemed to remind everyone of the terror of Shatter-Star Level, even marking Lin An's head with a huge skull symbol.

Amid rolling black mist, Lin An, who was already clad in the Death God set and had remained silent, was now rendered as terrifying as a demon.

And in the eyes of the many Star-Destroying Levels, it instinctively made them imagine a shocking conspiracy.

It was as if a hidden monster had finally bared its ferocious fangs at this moment.

Perhaps the face beneath that mask was grinning at them at this moment!?

Is it him!?

Is it that little worm!?

It's actually that Fourth Stage!!

Soul-shaking dread.

Nothing is scarier than scaring oneself.

Perhaps the deterrent power of Shatter-Star Level is simply too great.

The Radiant nearest to Lin An felt his scalp about to explode.

Seeing Lin An about to move, his eyes nearly popped from his rotting sockets; he let out a sharp scream and desperately tore open the space before him, then turned and fled!

A Shatter-Star Level was right beside him, yet he still thought of taking the opponent with him!?

"Flee!"

"Hurry up and flee!!"

"Boom boom boom boom!!"

What a swift reaction.

Inside the fortress, it suddenly exploded like a boiling pot; vast space rules began to erupt desperately. Every Fifth Stage with space rules threw themselves into the passages, trying to escape as fast as possible.

Although it is still Safety Time, no one dares to gamble on whether Shatter-Star Level has special abilities.

If Intermediate Fifth Stage is still within their comprehension, a few hundred War Star Levels could still oppose it.

But when it comes to Shatter-Star Level, they even doubt whether all of them combined could match a single one of its kills.

What calculating alliance, what points, what opposition.

At this moment, every Fifth Stage's mind held only one thought: flee first, talk later.

But in the blink of an eye.

Accompanied by one piercing sonic boom after another and spatial fluctuations.

Originally full of testers, the fortress instantly emptied like a ghostly haunt, leaving only Lin An, face full of bewilderment, standing dumbfounded in place.

Before Lin An could blankly look at the few slowest War Star Levels, the last batch of War Star Levels that had already run out of the fortress were already running and shouting, their voices trembling as they begged for mercy.

"Sir! Spare us!! Don't hunt us down!!"

"We're not worth anything! Let us go!!"

The terrified pleas for mercy were left far behind.

Fully aware that even Star-Destroying Levels have tracking abilities, they dared not gamble that Lin An, who still couldn't act at this moment, would mark them.

They could only hope that this extremely sinister strongman would ignore them and absolutely not notice them!

Half a minute later.

Lin An stood dumbfounded in place, his expression beneath the mask extremely complex.

In the silent fortress, he only felt as if he were dreaming, not even knowing what to do.

"They ran..."

"They all ran...?"

With a bitter laugh, Lin An subconsciously looked around, his mental power striving to spread outward.

A few seconds later, he confirmed that there truly wasn't a single person within a hundred-kilometer radius.

"Shatter Star Level, is it really that scary..."

Recalling the fear of those Star-Destroying Levels before they fled, Lin An gave a bitter laugh, not knowing whether he was lucky or unlucky.

He never imagined the situation would turn out like this.

Actually, from the moment he vaguely guessed he might be of the third faction, he actually most wanted to run away.

But he didn't expect the deterrent power of the Shatter Star Level to be so great that he didn't even need to move, and others fled on their own.

"Is it because of the title?"

"Why am I being counted as a Shatter Star Level?"

After withdrawing his mental power, Lin An couldn't help but look at the Civilization Destroyer Title he had ignored.

He had always thought this thing was useless and not hard to obtain.

But upon reflection now, he suddenly realized that perhaps this title truly, as the description says, is not something an ordinary Fifth Stage could obtain.

"Is it because the effect of the Cataclysm Power is too special?"

"In the system's judgment, is combat power calculated based on what one has done?"

"But... slaughtering a civilization, destroying a planet—such things a Fifth Stage could also do..."

Unable to fathom how the system actually judges, Lin An silently sighed, only able to suppress his various speculations.

Although the crisis was temporarily resolved, he is now safe.

One could even say that now no one dares to hunt him down.

But Lin An clearly understands that the true difficulty he must face has only just begun.

"My faction's mission is to kill 50% of all factions' populations."

He raised his head to look at the skull mark on his own crown, and at the light curtain that confined him within the fortress.

Lin An took a deep breath, gazing at the sky above his head.

If he could, he really wanted to curse, to curse this system to death.

Damn it.

How the hell are we supposed to kill this!?

Isn't this mission meant to get him killed!?
