Chapter 827: Lin An's Choice

Retract the domain.

Amidst the noisy earthquake sounds, Lin An quickly absorbed the scattered energy while charging toward the battlefield flag.

On the other side of the battlefield, Xiong Hanzi, who had charged into the crowd, was madly pounding the ground.

Anyway, his earthquake skill and roar only consume stamina; for him with two lives, it's enough to smash the earth to pieces.

Wave after wave of horizontally spreading seismic waves hindered numerous interceptors.

Taking advantage of the gap created by Zhang Tie, Lin An Without Hesitation. again unleashed destruction, locking onto the front.

Although, that place is definitely a trap.

But, so what?

Andre is forcing him to come over; he isn't exactly looking to find that guy and kill him instantly, is he?

As for an existence like Andre, Lin An will not feel at ease until he personally kills him.

Speed slowed.

As the distance to the flag grew closer, even the smooth mask could reflect the fluttering flags of various colors.

Feeling the viscous air, Lin An realized this was probably the effect of spatial disturbance.

He ignored the roar after roar behind him trying to stop him.

Lin An decisively slashed at the thirteen flags.

No!!!

Behind him, the anguished cries of obstruction were so powerless.

Unattended.

If Andre doesn't show up again, he can take the flag within a second.

Time... lock...!

Almost at the moment the flag was cut down, a clear, cold voice echoed from the void.

As Lin An had expected, yet it was different.

The air rippled, and six-sided pure silver mirrors instantly appeared beside Lin An.

At the same time, the suddenly attacking spiritual pressure also bore down on him.

His movements stiffened.

Sound was cut off.

In the void, a teleportation gate opened on its own.

Silver-white, with medieval classical patterns carved into it, the small gate slowly opened from midair.

Walking out of the gate, Andre stared expressionlessly at him; behind him were three giant-sword soldiers in silver armor, as well as a small number of North American high-level elites.

Lin An...

Give up...

I can feel that your spiritual power is about to run out.

You have already been locked on...

I want to have a talk with you...

Beneath the silver crown, Andre calmly looked at the immobilized figure, his lips moving slightly.

Give up? Talk?

Maintaining the posture of having just slashed with both swords, a hint of amusement flickered in Lin An's eyes.

Needless to say, the suddenly activated time-stop skill indeed immobilized him.

But he could clearly feel that he only needed to use a portion of his spiritual power to break free.

Without Hesitation.

Since Andre has already appeared, he naturally won't waste words.

Boom!

His aura surged.

Lin An directly activated spiritual power conversion, converting a large amount of life force back into spiritual power.

Beneath the mask, his face aged slightly, then rapidly recovered.

A faint cracking sound rang out after breaking the restraint.

An icy sword light instantly slashed at Andre's head, containing four constant effects; this strike could even cleave everything!

Stop!

North American high-level officials stared in shock at Lin An's sword strike.

They hid at the edge of the time stop, instinctively shouting to halt.

Damn it!

Those who knew Andre's plan never imagined Lin An would skip talking and go straight to killing!

Pfft!

Like striking at a phantom, the sword imbued with immense power suddenly missed; the scattered sword aura carved a trench over ten meters long into the ground.

An illusion? Not the real body?

Not overly shocked.

Upon realizing that what appeared here was not the real body, Lin An simply ceased his attack, likewise staring expressionlessly at him.

Is this your means?

He casually swept his gaze over his surroundings.

After glancing at the battlefield, Lin An found that he and Andre's surroundings seemed slowed, as the distant crowd crept toward him at a snail's pace.

Just, under the earthquake's interference, they looked rather comical as they lurched sideways.

Within the area, time speeds up? Like the sands of time?

After a brief moment of thought, Lin An casually asked:

Maintaining this effect, the cost won't be small.

His gaze turned back.

How long do you think you can keep me trapped?

Extending his senses, he easily sensed that the energy slowing time came from the four mirrors.

On the smooth, flawless mirror surface, fine cracks had spread everywhere, continuously expanding.

Obviously, maintaining this effect was not as easy for Andre as he made it appear.

There's nothing to worry about.

This strange effect can last at most a dozen seconds.

Unless several hundred people focus fire on him, no one can kill him within this confined time.

He did not deny it.

Standing before the giant-sword soldier, Andre nodded:

That's right.

Time stop... indeed can't do anything to you, and I never thought I could block you with this method.

I have to say, your strength is too great—I can't find any other means to restrain you.

But...

Actually, I just wanted to have a final talk with you.

Talk?

Lin An raised his eyebrows, looking at him somewhat surprised.

There's nothing to talk about.

For Lin An, he must obtain the first-place reward, as well as... everyone's points.

Sensing Lin An's contempt, several high-level officials' faces darkened.

Just as they were about to say something, they saw Andre merely raise his hand to stop them.

Unbothered by Lin An's attitude, Andre revealed a gentle smile, like a priest guiding sinners in a church:

Lin An, I admit your strength exceeds my expectations, even surpassing everyone's expectations.

It's hard to imagine why the Doomsday Game would produce a monster like you at this stage.

I have even doubted whether you belong to humanity.

Genuine emotion.

Based on the current results, Lin An is almost single-handedly opposing half of humanity's elite.

Moreover, he has succeeded.

Logically or emotionally, it is simply too puzzling.

Just as many high-level officials privately speculate, most Awakened Ones believe this apocalypse is the system screening for promising humans, or helping humanity evolve!

But Lin An's appearance undoubtedly dealt them a harsh slap.

When an individual surpasses half of humanity's strength, what is the system keeping them for?

An individual can be strong, but not to this extent!

One can fight ten, or even a hundred.

But one against a thousand!?

This has already broken the bounds of logic.

After a brief silence, aside from the giant-sword warrior showing no expression, everyone else present stared fixedly at him.

However, Lin An seemed to ignore them, his expression unchanged.

In their mutual gaze, Andre sighed, giving up on finding hidden information in those eyes.

Alright.

Lin An, I can give you two choices.

No more nonsense, getting straight to the point.

"1, we join forces. North America Theater will obtain first place in this trial, I will take the title of first in willpower. Huaxia Theater can obtain second place, and the remaining three titles will all be yours."

"Moreover, I know you need a large amount of points. We can help you hunt other Awakened Ones until we gather the points you need."

His gaze was sincere, not feigned.

"Even, I personally can grant you 3000 points!"

"If you are willing to join us, all of North America, all Awakened Ones will unconditionally hand over their points to you; we will join forces to clear all factions in this death match! All titles, you can take them all!"

"Lord Andre!?"

They were shocked and dismayed.

Four war zone high-level officials, shocked and angry, blurted out:

Andre had clearly said otherwise before the plan began!

They were confident they could kill Lin An, but worried that after killing him they couldn't obtain the remaining points!

After all, Lin An still had two chances to respawn!

In the plan, their bottom line was to take 50% of Lin An's points, and with the promise of cooperation, slaughter the other war zones!

In their view, this was already an absolutely generous condition.

Unexpectedly, Andre sounded like he was betraying the war zone by saying such a thing!

The former was like bowing their heads to Lin An, while the latter simply enshrined Lin An! How could they possibly endure that?

Unexpected.

After hearing Andre's conditions, Lin An gave a light chuckle:

"What is the second one?"

"Kill me?"
