Chapter 1728: Stars Fall 22

How crazy!

If any outsider knew Lin An's situation, knew what he's thinking now, they'd probably think he's a lunatic.

But only Lin An himself knows, this path might actually work!

And the effect would be best!

"As long as I can take out one of them, I will surely obtain a higher-level permit!"

"And the next-level permit would let the system give the most perfect promotion plan!"

"I currently can't find a way to break through to Fifth Stage, but the system definitely can! Even the system could directly give a perfect method to repair the soul, letting me break through to Fifth Stage with my flesh!"

This might be overly wasteful, even insane.

High-level permit-exchanged promotion plans are usually only exchanged by Star-Destroying Level powerhouses who are stuck after becoming Star-Destroying.

No, should say that Star-Destroying Level beings can only fantasize about this; they can't even gather it.

In the Apocalypse, generally only those at Star-Shatter Level or above, when trying to break through to Sixth Stage, will expend all their clan's strength, taking huge risks to gather a permit, attempting to reach a higher level!

But Lin An, in order to break through to Fifth Stage, would have to consume such a priceless treasure!

"Being weak also has its advantages."

"If it weren't for my strength being judged so weak, I couldn't have gotten over 20x points reward, not even the lowest permit."

"Thus, not using this advantage would be truly wasteful."

After careful consideration, judging the plan's feasibility, Lin An no longer feels anguished about his inability to break through to Fifth Stage.

If he breaks through to Fifth Stage now, he might have a greater chance of survival, but it also means his gains would plummet; seriously considering it, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad.

"Hei Di... probably can't kill him."

"That old fox is too cunning, and too good at running."

"As for the Chimera Emperor..."

His eyes flickered, Lin An muttered softly, constantly linking the Chimera Emperor's information in his mind, trying to find a scheme to take down the opponent.

He actually had this idea quite a while ago.

Hei Di's thought is correct; he doesn't let them rest, just planning to consume the power of Hei Di and the Chimera Emperor.

Even from the start, he, Lin An, has already regarded the Fifth Stage subordinates of those two as his own points reserve.

This pack of old foxes plans to betray him at the last moment; how could Lin An not want to strike first and kill these 'traitors'?

It's merely mutual exploitation; everyone pretends not to know.

"According to the intel we have now, the Chimera Emperor isn't hard to kill."

"That dragon isn't very smart, and is far more afraid of me than Hei Di... its pattern seems to be fire and lightning? But what is the other head?"

In his contemplation, Lin An seemed to see flashes of scenes before his eyes.

For some reason, he keeps thinking of the Chimera Emperor's other head. That head seemed to have only 'awoken' at the very beginning, then mysteriously disappeared afterward.

"Given my current status and deterrence, the Chimera Emperor temporarily wouldn't dare defy me."

"This means I have ample opportunity to summon him to my side and suddenly strike."

"That dragon, there aren't really any spatial rules..."

The Chimera Emperor can be killed!

It looks crazy, nearly impossible.

But after Lin An repeatedly rehearses, as long as his strength is strengthened a few more rounds, acting when the Chimera Emperor's pattern is weak, he has a chance!

With the Reincarnation Eye and Omniscient Domain in hand, he truly has hope to, with Fourth Stage strength, secretly kill the opponent!

And the trouble lies in..

"The other head might pose a problem.. after killing it, Hei Di certainly wouldn't remain unresponsive."

"So if we're to kill, we must find a suitable excuse? Or act when Hei Di and that dragon are separated?"

After confirming the general idea, Lin An turned to open the exchange information regarding Disaster Rules.

Regardless of which path he chooses, Lin An clearly realizes he doesn't have much chance to snowball.

He wants to rely on combat power to take out those Star-Destroying Level beings, but that's already unrealistic.

Even if it's the third route, time is insufficient. Advancing to Fifth Stage merely gives him a slightly better chance of survival.

This means he must reconsider the plan to use Disaster Power to destroy the Star Battlefield.

"We need to kill half of the people."

"After all the calculations, it turns out we still have to rely on Disaster Power to turn the tables..."

With a light sigh, Lin An hesitated a moment, then clicked to exchange the information.

Triggering disaster, dragging everyone to die together—this is the path he least wants to take. After all, there are too many uncertain factors, but he currently has no choice.

"Black Lock..."

"Ding, are you sure to spend 100 points to exchange the Star Battlefield (Black Lock) information?"

"Confirmed!"

"Hum"

With a surge of information flooding in, Lin An's eyes were instantly swallowed by a blackness.

"Hei Di, I... want to give up..."

"Or should we leave this place?"

In the heavy atmosphere, the Chimera Emperor hesitated a moment, then slowly flew toward Hei Di.

Seeing Hei Di truly earnest, even lacking any thought of embezzling points, after his handling of all remaining Fifth Stage captives, the Chimera Emperor's worries grew even greater.

That one is already so strong, yet they're still acting as dogs to restore his strength.

According to Hei Di's earlier calculations, them helping Lin An with tasks is just digging a pit for themselves.

In his view, he might as well just run away—being alive is more important than anything!

However, it seems his mindset underwent a 180-degree shift.

On Hei Di's face, which was also somewhat exhausted, a bitter smile suddenly flashed.

"Give up? Run?"

"Chimera. Where do you want to run to?"

"Are you really stupid or just unaware? The remaining fifteen Star-Destroyers have already banded together."

"We dare to leave the Lin Emperor, and they'll dare to strike us!"

"In their eyes, everything we do could be a lie! They'll never cooperate with us, no matter what!"

One misstep, and every step goes wrong.

A hint of self-mockery flashed in Hei Di's eyes.

He had thought he could control Lin An and everything would go according to his plan; then, using the Shatter-Star Level's threat, he could easily harvest others.

Yes, he did secure it, but the situation has slipped out of his control.

Other Star-Destroyers no longer dare to surround and kill them, but this means they've truly become allies of Lin An!

"Then what do you suggest we do!!"

"I always have the feeling that person won't let us go!"

He couldn't help but let out a low growl.

Chimera Emperor stared resentfully at Hei Di. If they had simply behaved like obedient dogs, that person might have let them go.

But after repeated probing, it seemed the monster didn't take it to heart and kept making them work.

But Chimera Emperor doesn't think so—Lin An truly has no idea what they're doing!

Especially..

Chimera Emperor irritably spat out a mouthful of fire.

For some reason, starting a few seconds ago, he suddenly felt a strong sense of unease—a faint sixth sense. He had the feeling something bad was going to happen to him!

He couldn't read Hei Di, and he couldn't read Lin An either!

He truly feared that both of them were scheming against him!

"What should we do?"

"Keep capturing people!"

"I believe that as long as we do our job well, the Lin Emperor will surely be magnanimous and let us survive."

Before Chimera Emperor could give Hei Di a bewildered look, he felt he must have misheard.

The next second, Hei Di turned serious, brought the captives, and flew straight for the fortress.

It was as if he had completely given up!

"HeiDi!?"

Under the dark sky, Hei Di silently opened a spatial gate and ignored Chimera Emperor's low growl.

Unnoticed, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes and was gone.

He hadn't deceived Chimera Emperor.

He fully intended to do his job well, exert all his strength, and capture more Fifth-Stage beings for Lin An!

He didn't hesitate to sacrifice his own kin! He sent that stupid dragon on its way!

Only this way would he be the ultimate victor!
