Chapter 1803: Number C-class Overseer
Hum—
With the system's light flaring up, the whole Star Battlefield seemed to resume its operation.
Pressure vanished; everything, all things, began to reorganize and flow. Like clearing away a problem, once the eradication program against Lin An started, the mission system also recalculated.
Quite unlike Lin An's incredulous gaze at this moment, his eyes seemed to want to resist.
At this very moment, whether the Chimera Emperor or Hei Di and the others, they were first stunned, then their hearts filled with immense joy!
They never expected that the Overseer's appearance was not to admire Lin An, to come and 'make nice' with this kid! But to confirm his identity and eradicate this monster!
They won't die! Their mission can even still be completed!
Seeing the various forces beginning to fade in the white light, the Star Destroyers who had perished in the cataclysm—all the clanspeople—burst into loud laughter, their eyes gleeful as they watched Lin An being judged.
"Lin An! 'Lin Emperor'! You never thought you'd end up like this, did you?!"
"You scum exploiting loopholes! You deserve to die! Overseer, you are wise!"
"A mere Fourth Rank has killed so many of us! He should be utterly eradicated—no soul left behind!"
Amidst the excited shouting and cursing, aside from Hei Di who still hadn't come to his senses, everyone looked at Lin An with complex eyes.
At this moment, all the Star Destroyers present rejoiced and praised the Overseer's judgment!
Indeed, their mission was abnormal from the start! For the Overseer who upholds system rules, naturally he cannot tolerate Lin An, this worm that burrows through loopholes!
Lin An isn't relying on the Star Battlefield's loophole; how could they possibly lose?
Hearing the Star Destroyers' praise and flattery, the Overseer's giant eye showed no emotional fluctuation; at this moment he merely gazed indifferently at Lin An, who still seemed to want to resist.
The eradication program began, unlike regular eradication which causes immediate death.
"Seeing" that Lin An seemed somewhat special, he decisively chose the most thorough eradication method.
Strip away all power, strip away all rules; from the soul's origin, from the information level, thoroughly erase this worm.
"How, you're not convinced?"
"Heh, you seem to still have the aura of other Overseers on you. Speak up, and maybe I can let you die a little more swiftly."
Watching Lin An's spiritual energy begin to completely dissipate, watching those unwilling eyes, the Overseer gave a cold snort, rarely saying more.
He could sense that Lin An bore markers left by other Overseers; that's why he spoke so much, verifying for so long.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Whoever dares to violate system regulations—even if Lin An has Overseers behind him—will find no mercy from him! Even the one behind Lin An will suffer punishment!
"Unconvinced...!? What kind of loophole is this!!"
"What loophole did I exploit!! I triggered the cataclysm, relying solely on my own strength—it's the cataclysm rule rewarded by the system!"
"If I am wrong...! Then it is the system's error!"
Amidst endless pain, Lin An felt that all of his spiritual energy was vanishing at an astonishing speed.
As if to settle accounts completely, his spiritual reserves—originally over a hundred times that of a normal Awakened—had all turned to ash; next, his mental power and rules would be stripped away!
Unwilling, absolutely unwilling!
He asked himself if he had indeed used a system loophole, but he had already gone through the punishment dungeon! Thereafter, every step, every bit of his strength came from his own slaughter!
All the suffering and hardship he endured absolutely surpass most Fifth Stage beings!
On what basis does the system, according to his current strength, forcibly throw him into a Fifth Stage battlefield, yet not allow him to use his own power to complete the mission!?
Is he meant to die!? Should he have just honestly waited for death from beginning to end!?
"Unwilling? Feel it's unfair?"
The giant eye is merciless.
All that could be seen was that, at this moment, the giant eye seemed too lazy to bother with Lin An's questioning, as the white light representing the system in its eye flickered again.
"The battlefield cannot be destroyed; you forcibly triggered the disaster, which essentially exceeds the mission scope."
"A mere Fourth Rank, truly relying on yourself—what do you think qualifies you to achieve this!?"
"This isn't a loophole—what is it then!?"
Without directly answering Lin An's furious roar, the Overseer's giant eye gave a cold snort, then turned to the system to initiate an application.
"Application number c1876 requests activation of the deprivation procedure, demanding the target's all permissions and system rewards be stripped."
"Stripping the rewards will be used to replenish the Overseer's consumption!"
As the words fell, the Overseer's giant eye looked at Lin An as if he were a dead man.
As if the maps were exhausted and the dagger appeared.
Whether it is a loophole or not, he doesn't care at all; even in the system's judgment, it may not be a loophole.
The cataclysm rule is a product of the system's rewards; the Black Lock is a scene created by the system.
Strictly speaking, the system would even, after reconnection, give Lin An an extremely high performance evaluation! The richness of the rewards would make even a Sixth Stage heart throb!
But..
As the manager of the Star Battlefield! Overseer c1876 absolutely cannot tolerate an incident in the scene he manages!
Moreover, to repair the battlefield, he has paid an enormous price!
With such consumption, how could he allow this worm to leave alive!
"Nearly ten thousand points! That could even compensate for my consumption…"
Hearing the system had already confirmed his application, seeing the apocalypse points transferred to him, for a moment the Overseer's giant eye could not help but feel resolved, his gaze flickering over the constantly fawning Hei Di and the others.
These wastes... now they know what happened here..
Should they kill them, or help them 'claim' this kid's death reward, then…
Ignoring Lin An, who seemed still desperately mustering all his power, trying to reconnect to the cataclysm once more.
Watching Lin An's foolish struggle, the Overseer's giant eye gave a cold snort, then simply severed Lin An's system abilities by force.
Foolish worm! Even with the power to represent the system, he still dares to resist!!
It's truly ridiculous!
Even if it's..
Without waiting for the Overseer's giant eye to silently begin pondering how to end this farce.
In the next second, above the star battlefield that had originally been closed but had just been restored, a huge spatial rift, as if forcibly sliced in half, suddenly appeared.
Boom!!!!
The world trembled, white light burst.
Only to see, on the Black Lock that had just been repaired with great difficulty, a similarly immense and boundless giant eye, forcibly squeezing in!
