Chapter 1647: Surging Tide

The atmosphere was oppressive, silent.

Heavy chains, like a cage, imprisoned this world.

Not even a wind.

The more he thought, the deeper the doubt.

Perhaps they had already confirmed their own safety.

After a few minutes, Ssesman, who had always felt something was off, suddenly turned around, his ferocious mouthparts seeming about to spray acid, and he loudly roared at the Fifth Stage Green Crystal Tribe member who was communicating with others.

"No! No!"

"Could we possibly have been deceived!?"

The Insect Jaw Tribe Fifth Stage's chest heaved rapidly, looking at the astonished Green Crystal Tribe, he quickly blurted out his thoughts.

"We can't possibly face this level of difficulty!"

"A single Shatter-Star Level! Even if we all join forces, we're still dead!"

"Moreover, we might even turn on each other!"

"And it's too fake! Really too fake!"

"How could a Shatter-Star Level powerhouse be so despicable!"

He struggled to recall the scene of his first encounter with Lin An.

Ssesman remembered clearly that, when he attacked Lin An with the mindset of toying and slaughtering, he distinctly saw Lin An's "panic" and helplessness!

Was it necessary to act with them?

Don't talk about conspiracies, about deliberately showing weakness!

The gap between these early Fifth Stage and advanced Fifth Stage among them is like primitives fighting a spaceship!

They don't even know how the other side killed them!

Especially, the stronger one is, the more inherently proud they are! For such a terrifying existence to feign weakness, is it just to scare them?

This is simply too unreasonable...

In his bewilderment, the leader of the Green Crystal Tribe furrowed his brows.

Looking at Ssesman, who still doubted, he sighed and hesitated before speaking.

"Ssesman, are you saying a Shatter-Star Level has no reason to take this mission? That it poses no difficulty for him?"

"I think... we can't say that."

Unlike the Insect Jaw Tribe youth who received a much greater stimulus, the Green Crystal Tribe Fifth Stage pondered and then voiced his opinion.

"First, that one's mission is to eliminate both of our factions!"

"Although we are under tremendous pressure, we actually won't engage in internal conflict. So as long as we don't fight among ourselves, completing our respective tasks is still quite easy."

"In this situation, I doubt even that Star-Destroying Level would dare to earn extra points."

"Everyone reasonably allocate the Fourth Stage, then hide after completing the mission."

"That way, for that monster to accomplish his mission, it won't be simple either..."

Preconception.

At this moment, the Green Crystal Tribe Fifth Stage, although also feeling that the whole affair had an indescribable strangeness,

but the system had already identified the opponent as a Shatter-Star Level!

The faction division would not be wrong!

He merely thought Ssesman couldn't accept such a huge change, couldn't accept a mere insect suddenly transforming into a superbeing capable of easily slaughtering them.

Seeing Ssesman listen to his ideas without being convinced at all,

the Green Crystal Tribe Fifth Stage sighed and could only continue to console:

"Ssesman, what you doubt is nothing more than why this superbeing would disguise himself as a Fourth Stage to toy with us."

"Think about it, an existence of this level surely has thinking abilities far superior to ours!"

"Perhaps he, upon entering the battlefield, already guessed what his mission was!"

"So he simply disguised himself, posing as a Fourth Stage!"

"What's wrong with deceiving us, gathering us together to kill? Perhaps that Shatter-Star Level's Rule Ability is simply not good at pursuit."

"Perhaps he has some defect in speed; if we are determined to flee, he couldn't do anything! Thus disguising as a Fourth Stage is not unreasonable."

Self‑brain‑filled, explanation.

After the Green Crystal Tribe Fifth Stage finished speaking, he felt his logic was sound.

Ssesman was proud, even somewhat arrogant, eager to constantly display his strength and enjoy the fearful gazes of the weak.

But he was much steadier; he knew that as long as he could survive and win, disguise, calculation, these were all too normal!

A Shatter-Star Level would certainly understand this principle even more!

In fact, weren't they almost deceived?

Recalling the scene of themselves surrounding Lin An, the Green Crystal Tribe Fifth Stage felt a wave of lingering fear.

If it weren't for the system exposing the opponent, they would truly have died without knowing how.

This is simply... too terrifying...

However, persuasion was useless.

It was as if they hadn't listened at all.

Faced with the advice of his fellow Fifth Stage teammates, Ssesman clenched his fists tightly and stared behind him.

"No, still not right!"

"I remember clearly! Not only when we first saw that guy, he was already a Fourth Stage! Do you remember the traces he left!?"

"We rely on spatial rules! Either it's flight!"

But behind him, there is a string of footprints!

He is indeed relying on his physical body to rush! And it's very exhausting!

Not only that, why pretend to be Fourth Stage? The trouble of Fourth Stage is the most, but on the contrary it's the most eye-catching!

Wouldn't Fifth Stage work? Pretending to be War Star Level isn't the same effect?!

The logic doesn't make sense.

No matter how Ssesman thought about it, he felt something was off.

He had thought of everything the Green Crystal Clan Fifth Stage had thought of, but conversely, the so-called advance prediction of the mission content—thinking to use disguise to infiltrate them and then slaughter them all—

This point is actually self-contradictory!

Isn't that guy's identity already exposed? As soon as the system issues a mission, all disguises become meaningless! On the contrary... on the contrary, it will only heighten their vigilance!

Hearing Ssesman's rebuttal, the Green Crystal Clan Fifth Stage blinked slightly, actually not knowing how to explain.

Then what do you plan to do?

Even if there are problems, we cannot possibly go take a risk...

He subconsciously blurted out the question.

Without waiting for him to finish, Ssesman took a deep breath, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

No!

If there's a problem, go figure it out!

Damn it! I don't believe it! I don't believe that kid is a Shattered Star Level!

Moreover, we must verify it! Otherwise, our fate won't be any better!

As his words fell, Ssesman directly looked at his subordinates of the Fifth Stage and Fourth Stage, planning to send someone back.

His gaze swept over the astonished Green Crystal Clan Leader, and a feeling of contempt instantly rose in his heart.

That's right, he is arrogant, even overbearing.

But his intelligence is far higher than that bunch of stoneheads!

The Green Crystal Clan probably hasn't even realized that if that guy is truly a Shattered Star Level, then what will happen next!

Is the other side not good at pursuing and killing?

Will they not have internal conflict?

No!

They will slaughter each other!

He needs to figure out Lin An's true abilities; only then can he properly respond and truly survive!
