Chapter 1710: Stars Fall 4

At the same time, hearing Lin An's light laugh, Lilier felt a great relief in her heart.

She just instinctively lifted her head, and upon seeing Lin An's face, completely different from what she had imagined, she suddenly froze.

She had thought that beneath the mask would be a cruel, ruthless face, terrifying like a Shen Yuan demon, but she never expected Lin An to be purely human in appearance, and moreover... quite handsome.

"Yes... yes...! Star Shatterer, your excellency!"

"My people are waiting for me to return... just like, just like you! You also came this way, right?"

Whether it was because Lin An removed his mask, making her feel a bit closer, or because she was no longer so fearful, Lilier's eyes turned red at this moment.

Lin An's remark, "It must be very hard,"...

Like a bullet, it pierced her psychological defenses at this moment, making her nose sour involuntarily.

Yes, it's really hard, truly desperate.

Carrying the hope of an entire civilization to this point, she is truly exhausted, utterly exhausted.

"My lord... in our civilization, I started as just an ordinary wind beast, but from the moment I showed my talent, everyone placed their hopes on me. My teachers, my companions, my family—they all sacrificed themselves for me."

"To survive, to let me break through to the Fifth Stage, our civilization's former leader also perished together with those monsters."

"You must have gone through these as well, right?"

"You surely know just how hard it feels to bear everyone's hopes...!"

"So, let me live... please, just give our civilization a way to survive; I truly want to bring everyone to live on!"

Her voice carried a hint of sobbing; under the immense pressure, Lilier seemed no longer a Fifth Stage cultivator but the most fragile ordinary girl, tightly gripping Lin An's ankle.

She hardly counts as a Fifth Stage.

Compared to the strong warriors Hei Di has slaughtered his way up with, she is merely an ordinary person pushed forward by the wind beast civilization in desperation.

Just that.

She cannot die, and she cannot let down.

(Lilier! Live on! No matter what, you must live on! Bring the wind beast tribe to live on!)

The voice of the former leader, drowned in the flames, seemed like an immortal electromagnetic wave, forever echoing in her ears.

As long as Lin An spares her, as long as this immensely powerful Star Shatterer shows mercy, they still have hope!

"Pfft"

However, before Lilier, tears filling her eyes, could even think of saying more.

A slight stabbing pain instantly came from her neck.

This is...!?

"Star Shatterer, my lord!?"

Instinctively covering her neck, Lilier looked at Lin An in panic.

For some reason, she suddenly saw a hint of pity in Lin An's eyes, but that pity made her feel a chill deep inside.

The next second.

Seeing Lin An put away the injector, he then slowly squatted down and gently stroked her head.

"It's nothing; if you're too tired, then rest..."

"I can understand your feelings...."

"Bang...!"

A few seconds later.

Lin An lowered his head in silence, looking at the skull shattered in his arms.

The long ears, fallen to the ground and stained with blood, looked like a shredded plush toy.

"Sorry.."

Speaking softly, Lin An picked up the ear from the ground, then slowly stood up and put the mask back on.

Lifting his head, he silently gazed at the white light sphere above his head representing the system, the pity in his eyes gradually fading.

He "cannot save" this pitiful girl.

The only thing he can do is let her die a little more swiftly.

After all, he can't even save himself.

"Beep, Rule Reserve increased by 6.1%"

"Beep, currently absorbable rules: Electromagnetic Wave (bioelectric interference), Metal Fusion"

"Electromagnetic Wave: a branch of the Electromagnetic Rule. After using this rule, you can convert mental power and the Electromagnetic Rule into an Electromagnetic Wave attack on a target. Damage and rule effect vary depending on circumstances."

"After interfering with the target's bioelectricity, it can cause effects such as 【Hallucination】, 【Thought Confusion】, 【Madness】, 【Thought Dissociation】, 【Sluggishness】, 【Brain Death】."

"Sub-abilities: Frequency Perception, Resonance."

"Frequency Perception: You can obtain the target's bioelectric frequency and bioelectric wave at any time."

"Resonance: You can adjust your own frequency to match the target's frequency, with the degree of overlap depending on the data you have obtained."

No longer thinking about those eyes, Lin An seriously looked at the information on the panel.

A somewhat complex ability.

Looking at the introduction on the rule panel, he suddenly furrowed his brows and quickly came to understand.

Compared to the people he had previously devoured, Lilier's rule is undoubtedly of the highest level and also the most profound.

It must be said that the rule ability mastered by the wind beast civilization, although extremely singular, following a single path to the death, is indeed somewhat interesting.

If it weren't that the Electromagnetic Wave rule's lethality is truly insufficient, and Lilier also lacks combat experience,

Relying solely on this advanced rule, she would also be considered outstanding among War Star Level beings.

"Looking at it this way, the interference rule of Electromagnetic Wave is actually a kind of mental attack? No... rather, all illusions and mental attacks are simplified versions of this rule."

Interfering with thought, creating false images, controlling emotions.

This is a spiritual and illusion attack.

Disturbing the target's bioelectricity directly causes the target's brain death.

This is a material and spiritual impact.

This is not hard to understand.

The brain of a flesh-and-blood creature is essentially a biological computer, and it also interacts through "electric current" and substances like hormones.

Basic biology known to elementary school students.

For example, applying electricity to a white mouse's brain, different parts cause the mouse to move in different directions.

So the same principle, the human brain can be controlled like a machine by remotely emitted electromagnetic waves.

"If you fully grasp this rule, it actually amounts to mastering most spiritual and psychic abilities. This is a rule with tremendous potential."

"Not bad, worth integrating."

After quickly understanding the rule's principle, Lin An secretly nodded in his heart, feeling his luck was quite good.

This rule integrated into his rules, directly making up for his spiritual attack methods.

Before Fifth Stage, he liked to use spiritual attack the most in battle.

Simple, easy to use, and extremely hard to defend against.

But after Fifth Stage, Lin An helplessly discovered that even if his spiritual power were stronger, it could hardly harm those at Fifth Stage.

No way, his attack methods are too low-level.

He has no trace of rule, purely skill effects, or simply smash the opponent to death in one blow.

It's like when he uses his spiritual power, it's still like a dagger, but his enemies have already donned interstellar battle armor.

"As for perception frequency and same frequency..."

His gaze gradually grew solemn, Lin An keenly realized that these two additional abilities are the key to determining how strong this rule is.
