Chapter 2062: Descent Method

~6 min read 1,194 words

"No way?"

"How could you possibly not be able to contact that person!!?"

Half a minute later, Klein sprang up from his seat, staring at Lin An with utter confusion. In his anxiety, his eyes even burned with anger.

"Is what I said not clear enough!? It's not that I want to live; even if you shut down the Amoeba Worms, even if you sacrifice everyone here, they'll still find you!"

Resentful upon contact, he placed all his hope in the Overseer behind Lin An, never expecting Lin An to refuse to contact the Overseer.

In his heightened emotions, he even wondered whether he hadn't explained himself clearly enough!!

Looking back at the past, Lin An fell silent.

He couldn't explain the matter of 77 to Klein, but the fact is indeed so.

He had just tried to contact 77, but the system directly indicated that the other party was in a non-existent area.

"Klein, calm down a bit, we.."

"Calm down!? How can you calm down!!"

"Lin An! Are you afraid to go ask the Overseer for help, fearing it'll affect his opinion of you? Or are you worried about the instance? You think this place is just a loophole, and the Overseer won't help!!"

Speaking rapidly, Klein forcibly suppressed his burning anxiety, striving to persuade Lin An:

"No way! If the one behind you knows about the wizard world, he definitely won't care about our little problem!"

"Lin An! Words are feeble; I don't know if I've made it serious enough—you still don't grasp what those lunatics will actually do! Stop them.. we must..! Stop"

"Klein!"

Lin An sprang to his feet, his mental power instantly lashing out at the man who had always maintained a gentlemanly image.

He noticed that, under the pressure of the wizard world, Klein had already lost some of his reason and judgment!

His spirit jolted, after Lin An forcibly stimulated him, Klein froze on the spot; only then did he realize how disgraceful he had been.

"Sor.. sorry.. Lin An.. no, I.."

Not knowing what to say, Klein painfully clutched his own head, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

He was too afraid.

Those who have never personally seen a wizard cannot understand his fear.

Seeing Klein in such a state, Lin An secretly sighed, held no blame, merely increased his vigilance a notch.

The terror of wizards might truly exceed the limits of imagination.

"Klein, it's not that I've never been able to contact the one behind me."

"Don't we still have a month, or even more time? During this period I'll try to contact that one, and on the other hand I'm confident I can boost my strength a bit."

"The situation might not be as bad as you imagine."

Lin An lowered his voice to comfort the past, then raised his hand and pressed down, signaling to Zhang Tie and the others outside the barrier that there was nothing wrong here.

Slowly lifting his head, Klein's lips trembled as he gazed at Lin An in bewilderment.

"Really?"

"If you can make contact with that one, it's good; as long as the Overseer takes action, we'll have hope..!"

After a moment, Klein drew a deep breath and forced out a smile.

He didn't catch the latter half of Lin An's words, but being able to contact the Overseer meant he wasn't utterly hopeless.

It's not that he looks down on Lin An; it's just that the time is too short—so short that Lin An couldn't possibly grow enough on his own in this period to stop the crisis.

"There will be, I promise you. After all, I don't want to run into them either."

Lin An slightly shook his head, instantly seeing through Klein's thoughts.

But it doesn't matter; he had carefully calculated. According to this timeline, the wizard world's invasion would likely occur around the end of the Star Glory War, and if fortunate, maybe even number 77 would return.

The worst-case scenario would be him leading Earth, or somehow rallying those like Gusman to stop the wizards.

With Shen Yuan's remains in hand, dragging it to the second stage should be fine.

(Of course.. it would be best not to reach this point. If Shen Yuan's remains actually come into play, the situation would be too dire..)

No more thinking, Lin An simply asked Klein, getting ready;

"Klein, can you confirm the invasion method of the wizard world? Any omens before they arrive here, and how much buffer time do we have?"

"I know closing the instance is useless, but what if we shut down the Amoeba Worms and relocate them? Would that possibly stop them from entering Earth?"

Lin An's expression grew grave; although he wouldn't abandon the Amoeba World unless absolutely necessary.

But if the land survives while the people perish, all is lost; as long as people remain, he can bear any loss.

At worst, we could relocate the instance world's believers; fortunately, Ling An's City is still under construction and can fully serve as a cornerstone.

With Lin An's 'promise', Klein felt noticeably better.

"Invasion method? Lin An, frankly, I can't tell you this. Or rather, telling you wouldn't help."

Klein gave a bitter laugh and pointed straight upward:

"Once the wizard world locks onto the coordinates, they will directly employ a certain Prop to descend here in the form of a mission."

"Exactly, just like your way of entering the Amoeba. This method is the most expedient and also the easiest for cross‑planar transmission."

"Thus, when they appear, there's at most a one‑minute delay! Then the system issues them a mission, and only then do we know they have descended!"

Saying this, Klein felt somewhat powerless.

The foundation of the wizard world is too strong; these lunatics using this method to invade its world have stirred up untold disasters.

Silent and swift, one could almost say that once located, no civilization can escape the wizard world's clutches; otherwise people wouldn't call it another kind of disaster.

"Descend via a mission? Direct cross‑planar?"

Lin An stared, his heart sinking instantly, his eyes unable to hide a flash of astonishment.

He was not only shocked by the wizard's method of Descent, but in an instant he also thought of the rescuers' side! And this cross‑planar method of transmission!?

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean the Breakers could also Descent at any time!?"

It seemed to sense Lin An's sudden change in emotion; Klein looked at him quizzically, then gave a wry smile and explained:

"Yeah, that sounds pretty perverted, huh."

"You can understand it as a special Props of ultra‑high grade within the wizard civilization."

"They can use this Props to issue tasks for themselves, thereby exploiting loopholes and forcibly borrowing the system's power to appear in various worlds."

"Otherwise, how could they possibly occupy so many worlds? The cost of breaking through is beyond imagination, especially multiple‑layer breaches."

"So I'll say, have the Overseer take action; as long as the Overseer is willing to help, if they want to invade this place in earnest, just breaking through from this world to here will drain their civilization's energy reserves."
