Chapter 1801

Bang!!

A strike smashed into the back of Lin An's head, and the huge impact instantly slammed him into the exchange point ground.

Already struggling against gravity's effect, Lin An instantly lost speed, and the distance between him and Hei Di opened up again.

Seeing that his sword failed to hold Hei Di and instead let him escape faster, in an instant Lin An's heart sank, filled with bitterness.

Hei Di's reaction was too fast! Or rather, the worm hiding inside Hei Di sensed who he really was!

Under that worm's control, Hei Di simply would not stop fighting!

What to do!

Should I burn my memory to hard‑resist the attack and chase after him!?

Before Lin An could struggle to ignite his memory again, in an instant the remaining five Star‑Destroyers, realizing Hei Di's abnormality, all rushed forward.

Five attacks struck Lin An instantly.

Led by the Chimera Emperor, the five Star‑Destroyers simply used their bodies to block him on all sides, like a prison, tightly suppressing Lin An in place.

Creak, creak, the light shield protecting his head was being wildly squeezed.

Lin An gave a bitter laugh, knowing he had no chance left.

The encirclement formed again; even if he could hold on for a few more breaths, it would be meaningless.

Hei Di had already fled into the corner of the exchange point; this short distance of a dozen meters was like a heavenly moat, hard to cross.

At the same time, looking at the trapped Lin An, Hei Di, as if relieved after a catastrophe, couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

Although he didn't know what would happen if Lin An killed him, there was no doubt that this monster's final killing move had been dodged by him!

"Come on! Kill me, ah ah! Lin Emperor!"

"How, killing me would let you turn the tables!? Too bad I won't give you this chance!!"

"Kill him! Quickly kill him!"

"Hahahaha!!"

In the midst of laughter, the Chimera Emperor and others also felt a surge of excitement, madly launching an attack on Lin An.

Seeing the shattered shield about to be breached, the Chimera Emperor couldn't help but let out an excited low growl.

"Lin Emperor! It looks like victory will ultimately belong to us!"

"Crack!"

The light shield shattered, and the sharp dragon claw instantly pierced Lin An's eyeball, and the next second it would mash his brain.

It seemed as if he had already heard the reward notification.

Lin An's head, brutally pressed under the dragon claw, could only be smashed to pieces alive.

In the dark, on the brink of death, Lin An gave a bitter laugh, intending only to point toward the fusion calamity.

There was nothing left; his skull had been shattered, all his trump cards exhausted. He had done everything he could.

Perhaps, from the start this mission was just as the Overseer said—he hardly had any chance to survive.

With Fourth Stage strength to complete a Five-Star Mission, this is fundamentally impossible.

Miracles, however, are not always...

"Hum!"

In the darkness, as Lin An harbored a death wish, preparing to drag everyone down to death with him.

In an instant, an awe‑inspiring terror, as if surpassing the stars, descended as a supreme pressure.

Even time seemed to be paused.

All that could be seen was, at some point, in Hei Di's unconscious glance upward at the sky.

A colossal eyeball, large enough to rival a super‑star, surpassed all material structure, appearing before his eyes like a deity descending.

That...!?

Unable to move, unable to think.

Whether it was the dragon claw that could pierce Lin An with just a centimeter to spare, or the Star‑Destroyer's Barren Overlord wielding double fists.

At this moment, the world seemed to have been put on pause, with only that emotionless giant eyeball staring at them.

"Beep, the Overseer has descended!"

"All participants' statuses begin to lock! The calamity is halted!"

Overseer!?

That's the Overseer!?

Why did the Overseer appear!!?

Frozen in the corner, Hei Di stared in astonishment at the giant eye above, as if it were controlling something, rapidly releasing terrifying torrents of energy.

In an instant, everything seemed to disappear.

The earth vanished, darkness vanished, the stars vanished, the exchange point vanished.

Within 0.1 seconds after the Overseer appeared, the entire stellar battlefield seemed to turn into a data torrent, beginning to reset and clear at extreme speed.

Under the vast, unfathomable power of some unknown rule, in the blink of an eye the Chimera Emperor and company found themselves all appearing in a white space, forcibly transmitted out of the battlefield!

Or perhaps... the battlefield vanished!

Shock, terror, collapse!

Although facing the Overseer was like a lower being confronting a higher one, they also didn't know why the Overseer had appeared.

But at this moment, the Chimera Emperor and others felt more despair and unwillingness!

No!! No!! Why is this happening!

They were clearly about to kill Lin An! Why did the Overseer appear at this time! To stop them at this time!

Come on!! They just need to move a finger, and they could kill this monster that slaughtered all their kin!

However, unwilling to be useless.

It seemed as if they could hear their inner voices, yet they ignored that.

In the endless white void, this Overseer, as large as a star, seemed to have run into some difficulty.

Within its enormous silver pupil, a flash of icy, violent irritation flickered.

It seemed reluctant to expend something.

After streams of unknown power shot again from the Overseer's eyes, Hei Di and the others felt their bodies lighten, and the originally intangible super gravity vanished instantly.

It was as if, somewhere they couldn't see, that fallen star also disappeared.

It lasted a full half minute.

Only then did the Overseer's giant eye, which had suddenly appeared and seemed to ignore everyone else, slowly descend, its icy gaze fixed on Lin An.

It seemed as if it had something to say.

「Bang!! 」

Unable to withstand the Overseer's close-range aura.

In an instant, amid the shocked gazes of the Chimera Emperor and others, the giant eye began to rapidly shrink, flying toward Lin An.

Blown away by the Overseer's aura, they lay prone on the spot.

For some reason, upon seeing this scene, the Chimera Emperor's mind flashed with a thought that made her even more desperate and fearful.

The Overseer appeared just in time to stop them from killing Lin An! It seems it still has something to say.

Could it be that the Overseer, representing the System, knows Lin An!? It came especially to save this kid!?

No one knows how panicked and unbelievable the six Star Destroyers felt after thinking of this.

As Fifth Stage beings, they all know what the Overseer is! It is supreme; even a Sixth Stage, even an advanced civilization, can only tremble and await death before this super existence.

That is the System's enforcer, a supreme existence that even the strongest of each star field struggles to approach.

Don't say Lin An merely bears the title of Shattered Star.

Even a true Shattered Star would be no more than an ant before the Overseer!

But everything before us seems to have no other explanation.

(Lin An, do you know the Overseer!?)

(What on earth is this monster!?)

(Wait! If Lin An knows the Overseer, then doesn't that mean they're doomed!!?)
