Chapter 739: Noisy system prompt

~16 min read 3,023 words

Sternly.

Without concealing the idea of treating the East Ying and Da Han war zones as cannon fodder, Ke'erhuolin turned and rebuked them.

Accustomed to this, those two war zones were originally cannon fodder in his mind.

Don't just look, now it's the apocalypse.

Americans still have many military bases in these war zones.

Among these bases, there are plenty of 'big treasures'.

He doesn't believe the two dare to defy orders.

At the edge of the battlefield, the Awakened Ones of the two major war zones who had hoped to survive to the end instantly turned ashen-faced like pig liver.

It is both a warning and a threat.

Looking at Ke'erhuolin's arrogant tone, Jin Zainen's anger rose like a volcano.

This bastard!

Before the apocalypse, they treated them like dogs, and now they still want them to die!?

But, upon seeing Chen Yangtian's same attitude.

The leaders of East Ying and Da Han could only grit their teeth and obey the orders.

If they defy orders, the other side will definitely take action against them.

After going out, it's even worse.

Give it all, maybe there's still hope.

Thinking about it, it's both absurd and unfair.

Before the apocalypse, the two countries didn't regard them as human.

After the apocalypse.

The two most powerful countries in reality even joined forces to coerce them.

Lin An of the Huaxia war zone deceived them of 'money'; now that they've arrived at the trial ground, the military again wants their lives.

This is...

Is this the sorrow of a small nation?

The speed is slow.

Under prolonged fighting, Lin An's hands began to tremble.

One broken weapon after another fell at his feet.

Countless swords have been swung; the number is no longer important.

His hair turned gray-white; if not for his transformation ability, he would have already died from exhaustion.

He has probably already expended over six years of vitality.

The energy inside the Seed of Death has been completely exhausted.

Apart from not using the Causal Sequence, Lin An has almost exhausted all his trump cards.

Every cell in his body is wailing; he can't even remember how many times he's repaired his shattered bones.

The forcibly mended vitality is like poison.

Fresh blood stained his Equipment; even the little creature strained to open its eyes, whimpering.

Through the gap, Lin An strained to glance at the two figures in the phantom.

Still needs some time.

Xiong Hanzi wildly grappled with the cultists, his whole body riddled with bullets.

If not for retaining the Asura trait, he would have already run out of breath.

Even so, he could only bite with his mouth and strike with his fists, trying to kill these cultists.

And Fei'ouna, the weakest in combat who snatched a semi-automatic rifle, limped while evading the pursuers.

Hair scorched black.

Weaving through the fire that almost ignited the whole town.

Bang!

Gunfire sounded intermittently.

She dragged her shattered right leg as best she could, firing shot after shot at the last few.

Countdown: 59 seconds.

The girl tied to the execution stake stared blankly at them.

It's not that they hadn't thought of releasing her early; they simply had no chance and didn't dare to gamble.

Before killing all the cultists, letting the girl down would have no effect.

On the contrary, it would be a burden.

Lin Dui! Hold on!

Zhang Tie could feel himself constantly being repelled by the phantom space.

That's because Lin An's killing speed is getting slower, making it hard to sustain the consumption for both of them to enter.

His face was frenzied.

After being stabbed in the abdomen with a knife, he roared, gouged out the cultist's eyeball, then crushed his throat.

He now fights like a beast.

61 seconds..

59 seconds..

Calmly calculating the time.

He took a deep breath.

After Lin An activated the transformation effect again, he repaired the leg bone that had been smashed.

He flicked his sword at the head, then hastily dodged the human-headed spider's lunge.

He actively activated Uninterrupted, gaining 9 seconds of invincibility.

He used the Sand of Time again to accelerate time.

With the extended passive, he could gain about another 30 seconds.

The active invincibility state cannot be extended, after all this power comes from system rules, and he can only accelerate his own ability.

Causal Reversal can last 20 seconds.

Added together, it totals exactly 59 seconds.

Time, pretty much enough..

He held up the last minute himself; the rest could only rely on Zhang Tie and the other person.

He took a deep breath.

Enduring until the final moment, Lin An's expression turned grim as he suddenly unleashed his final trump card.

Uninterrupted!

Reversal!

After using the last of his mental reserves,

A silver hourglass-like Causal Sequence suddenly appeared before Lin An.

Silver light enveloped his whole body.

In an instant, the rich spiritual energy burst forth with a blinding light,

Like the sun rising in a black tide.

Time Reversal.

His white-streaked hair rapidly recovered.

Just before his mental energy ran out and he lost consciousness.

The reversed time restored all his injuries to their peak state.

This time, Lin An locked the reversed state to the moment of his battle with the red-clad girl.

That was his strongest form!

He felt his combat power instantly return to its peak.

His fatigued, weakened body suddenly straightened.

"Boom!!"

A vast amount of mental energy suddenly regenerated.

Even the system's limits could not stop his reversed state.

Like a massive stone from outside crashing into a sealed space.

Annihilation!

One strike shot up to the heavens.

No longer limited by mental energy, Lin An instantly shattered the surrounding evil thought entities and shot up into the air.

Data streams scrolled by.

At full status, he locked onto all monsters in order.

In the nearby church ruins, Zhang Yong and the others stared blankly as Lin An suddenly shot up into the air.

He felt that violent pressure.

He couldn't help but blurt out.

"This fucking is full health revived!!"

Just a few seconds ago, they noticed that the two people in the illusion faintly showed signs of repulsion.

They had thought Lin An had reached his limit, but unexpectedly he burst forth with even greater combat power.

In the shock, everyone instinctively straightened their bodies, eyes gleaming with delight.

"What the hell is he trying to do!!"

"Why isn't the system limiting his attributes!!"

Amidst the delight, a series of questions followed.

Everyone could sense that Lin An's attributes were definitely problematic.

No one had time to answer.

In the next second, numerous swords instantly appeared around Lin An, spinning at high speed.

He had endured for a long time.

Under the full-force eruption of mental energy, Lin An's eyes were nearly dyed silver.

Inside the ring, all the High-Frequency Weapons that Chu An had given him were taken out, and he also extracted the spinal leg bones from the monsters' corpses on the ground to use as weapons.

Vast and mighty.

Without restraint, under the nearly extravagant control of mental energy, a storm composed of various weapons formed.

Judgment locked on!

Withering, Death Declaration!

At peak combat power, Lin An no longer bothered to consider whether these skills consumed too much or how effective they were.

He now prepared to expend all means, grinding the monsters beneath him into fragments.

The people in the ruins raised their heads to look at the midair, mouths agape, all utterly shocked.

At this moment, Lin An's whole body was wrapped in dazzling spiritual energy, and the storm of sword blades formed by those weapons quickly churned.

Under the black sky, low rumbling thunder began to appear.

Sword streams shot forth.

After locking onto the target.

Sharp sonic booms shattered the air violently; the lightning that should have appeared in this world slammed down like silver serpents.

If the Death God Phantom had not appeared behind Lin An, they would have simply thought it was the descent of an evil god.

A giant scythe swung down, and the pages flipped.

On the ground, skulls exploded one after another.

"Boom boom boom! Boom!"

The ultra-fast striking sword rain fell like meteors, enveloping the entire battlefield.

Under the deafening impact sound, electricity crackled.

Ring-shaped shockwave spread.

Clinging to the church ruins, two squads of Awakened Ones stared, stabilizing their stances so they wouldn't be toppled by the air currents.

"This... is too fucking exaggerated?"

He sighed as if in a dream.

He looked at the scene before him, like something out of a movie.

At this moment, Lin An alone was as terrifying as an entire legion of Awakened Ones.

As he unleashed the Destruction Skill again, Lin An in midair instantly crashed into the ground.

On Cain's Blade, the spreading sword breath split the black tide in two.

The final 59 seconds were also the final slaughter.

"Final strike!"

"Give me a chance!"

Hospital ruins.

Chen Yangtian's eyes went mad, his arm transforming into a snake-head shape, which he viciously thrust into the evil spirit's mouth.

Bearing the searing evil fire, a sizzling scorching sound rang out.

Without caring about exposing Chen Yangtian's forbidden ability, he was now close to going mad.

This evil spirit had actually recovered its injuries just a short while ago.

After more than half of the Awakened Ones fell in battle, they barely managed to wear the evil spirit down to its final blow.

Lying on the ground, the wounded North American Leader nervously watched Chen Yangtian's back.

If this blow doesn't kill the monster, they will all really die here.

"Hiss!"

The ferocious snake head plunged into the priest's mouth, racing swiftly down the esophagus.

In everyone's sight, that massive body suddenly stiffened.

Panting heavily.

Chen Yangtian gasped heavily, staring fixedly at the monster before him.

Is it dead?!

If it's still not dead, he'll have no choice but to find a way to destroy this body.

The next second.

A cold system prompt sounded:

"Beep, the eighth-layer trial is complete. Slay the evil spirit."

"All participants gain 50 points and receive the Trial Tower reward."

"Note: point rewards can be exchanged for one attribute point per ten points after reaching third rank."

"The reward will be obtained after exiting the trial."

"Trial ending countdown: 30 seconds."

The once-cold voice now sounded so moving.

Even Chen Yangtian couldn't help but laugh excitedly upon hearing that prompt.

Damn monster! This shitty trial, how can it be so hard!

On the ground lay a sea of corpses; the wounded Ke Lin Huo Er also couldn't contain his joy.

Sure enough, there are rewards!

Never mind anything else, just the point reward equals five attribute points.

This monstrous difficulty, indeed the rewards are generous!

Watching Chen Yangtian fall from midair to the ground, he felt sincere admiration for him.

If Chen Yangtian hadn't withstood the pressure, they estimated they'd have to lose several people to complete the mission.

This high-ranking officer of the Huaxia war zone is truly terrifying.

"Victory! We've won!"

"We survived... we really survived..."

The surviving Awakened Ones were almost all unable to contain their excitement.

Many collapsed to their knees, choking up as they looked at their comrades' corpses.

Of the over three thousand Awakened Ones who entered the trial, probably only these few remain.

All together, are there even a hundred people?

Bracing his body, Ke Lin Huo Er walked to Chen Yangtian's side with the help of his teammates.

He was filled with emotion.

Seeing that there were still 15 seconds left in the countdown, he knew he could end this nightmare-like trial.

He couldn't help but grasp the other's hand gratefully.

After this battle, our North America War Zone will surely cooperate closely with the Huaxia War Zone in the upcoming trials!

Hearing that, Chen Yangtian squeezed out a reluctant smile, his mood improving somewhat.

It seemed he had still earned the other's trust.

As fellow humans, this is how it should be.

After saying a polite remark, Chen Yangtian subconsciously licked his lips.

The trial reward for completing the evil spirit mission made even him covetous.

Ke Lin Huo Er, standing beside him, also realized this, but when he looked at the mission panel, his expression froze:

"The evil god mission in the Church Area is still ongoing?"

"Our mission isn't completed? No one there took over the mission, so it shouldn't have ended as well?"

Never had he thought anyone would dare accept a death-level mission.

Upon hearing that, Chen Yangtian subconsciously also glanced at the mission panel, but in an instant he casually replied:

"It should be that after the trial grounds close, the mission automatically ends."

"Who knows how the system arranged it."

He chuckled.

He couldn't help but say:

"Huo Er, you don't think someone took the mission and is still inside, do you?"

He shook his head, firmly confident in his judgment.

"Don't worry."

"Missions like this, not to mention us."

"The difficulty of an evil god-level mission; even letting a batch of third-rank individuals in would be a dead end."

While speaking, Chen Yangtian felt a sigh.

"Of course, the rewards for this level of difficulty are equally outrageous."

Ke Lin Huo Er listened, then hesitated and nodded.

Yeah, these remaining people of theirs are already the strongest among all war zones.

Perhaps there are still some people hiding in various corners of the trial grounds.

They probably also got a bit of their glory.

Those people definitely lack the guts to take on the mission.

But he had one point of confusion:

"General Chen, I want to know. Why would the system issue such a mission."

"What's the point of an impossible mission?"

Chen Yangtian looked at Huo Er's puzzled expression; if it weren't for the countdown about to end, his mood would be quite good.

Otherwise, he really couldn't be bothered to deal with such a stupid question.

"It's quite simple."

"Actually, we often encounter higher-difficulty options in missions."

"This outrageous difficulty is purely the system's way of filtering out idiots."

"There are always some idiots who think they're strong, foolishly taking on missions, unaware that this is fundamentally the system's trap."

"Some rewards look tempting, but what's the use if you lose your life?"

Chen Yangtian secretly sneered in his heart.

Only humans who have just experienced the apocalypse would ask such a foolish question.

After experiencing it more, one will naturally understand the reasoning.

When it comes to the system, one must always speculate with the utmost malice.

Ke Lin Huo Er's eyes flickered as he listened, lost in thought.

Quite reasonable.

As the 3-second countdown began.

He glanced at the survivors of the Huaxia War Zone, unable to help feeling a bit envious:

"Your Huaxia War Zone this time is likely the side that survived the most."

As if suddenly thinking of something.

"What about Lin An? Has he been in contact with you?"

As for Lin An, during intense battles they might have been too indifferent to care.

But his reputation stands there.

Perhaps there is a sense of pride.

Ke Er Huo Lin couldn't help but ask about the past.

That name, once so familiar it made his ears callus—could he have died in the trial?

Chen Yangtian heard this, his expression stalled, then he casually replied:

"Who knows, maybe he's dead."

"Or maybe he's hiding in that corner, still alive."

Speaking of which, it can also be considered his luck that the evil spirits attack the side with the most people.

Those Awakened Ones who hid and didn't regroup actually got a big bargain for free.

He shook his head, Chen Yangtian smiled:

However, someone must face the monsters. As the strong, we also need to shoulder our responsibility.

Ke Lin Huo Er listened to his explanation, somewhat surprised.

Looks like, this Commander Chen indeed has a sense of duty.

Thinking of this, he actually still felt some anger toward those Awakened Ones who hid.

To be honest, he was even thinking after going out, whether to use their desperate fight as an excuse to make those hiding rats turn in their points.

However, since Chen Yangtian had spoken, he could only give up.

He shook his head, his expression displeased:

It really was a bargain for those guys...

After suppressing that thought.

Everyone stopped speaking, just waiting for the countdown to end.

Everyone wore pride on their faces, like a baptism.

Who else besides us could complete a mission of this level?

The next second.

At the moment the countdown jumped to zero.

A system prompt sounded again.

"Evil God Rose, ultra-dangerous-level mission completed."

"After this mission is completed, it will no longer appear in the trial tower."

"Mission completion reward: all participants gain 200 points, special reward..."

His smile froze on his face.

At the moment he lost consciousness and was transported away.

The Awakened Ones at the hospital were all petrified.

Mouths agape.

Chen Yangtian listened, shocked, to the half-played announcement; the astonishment in his heart felt like an overturning.

No one knows better than him what an Evil God-level trial truly means.

Who is it!?

Completed the mission!?

This is absolutely impossible! Impossible!

Phantom space.

On the burning platform, Fiona clung tightly to the girl in her arms, half crying, half laughing.

Tears slid down her smoke-blackened face.

Lying on his back, Xiong Hanzi spat out a chunk of meat he had bitten off, squeezing out a grin with bared teeth:

"Meat Thread Girl, we can say we've rescued you."

"Really fucking not easy..."

His words are full of holes.

Zhang Tie tried to look as kind as possible, making faces.

Above the church, a black shadow fell unconscious.

More than a dozen Awakened Ones frantically rushed toward where the black shadow fell, trying to catch him.

At the moment before his mental energy was exhausted, Lin An dimly heard reward prompts one after another in a daze.

"Perfect-level trial completed."

"Ding, gained constant burst."

"Ding, gained constant crit."

"Ding, gained constant crushing effect.."

The first time in his life.

Lin An only felt.

System..

It's really noisy..
