Chapter 682

Qi Hengyu's Aberrant Arts are truly a bug, but Yang Yixie's current level is also too high; if it gets overwritten by the skill, it can easily cause friendly fire.

After all, balance means everyone is equal, and teammates are also people.

After Yang Yixie's mech entered the battlefield, the situation grew more chaotic, yet it steadily suppressed Fang Zhiyan.

Fang Zhiyan's body began to sink under the swarm of silvery tentacles; it seems he realized the worsening battle and already intended to flee.

After all, Fang Zhiyan can move swiftly underwater thanks to his Mutation Feature, and in this version, only Shen Zexi might be able to act quickly in water using Aberrant Arts.

The lingering silvery fragments on the sea surface were struck by a wave and vanished, like an unnamed funeral, dragging his remains deeper into the ocean.

Qi Hengyu's fist hit a tentacle on the water surface, bouncing him back, where Shen Zexi caught him and placed him onto the following floating device.

"Die sooner, die completely, with soul and spirit annihilated..."

Once he steadied himself, Qi Hengyu heard Shen Zexi beside him muttering continuously.

Those green eyes shone oddly, staring nakedly at Yuanfang as Fang Zhiyan kept sinking; lightning flickered on his hand, but the underwater target was already beyond his effective range.

Fang Zhiyan's underwater speed was too fast; no wonder he dared to chat leisurely with them.

In the past two years, Shen Zexi never stopped developing his abilities, yet his Fate Oracle power remains intermittently effective, occasionally letting teammates down.

At this point, Shen Zexi could only apply all the curse techniques he had learned in his life onto Fang Zhiyan.

Yang Yixie couldn't understand why Fang Zhiyan had to come to this world.

The game world has been completely overrun by Mutation, everywhere filled with the Mutation he loves to study; there, he only needs to devise ways to create some self‑aware Aberrant Species as his kind, and he can research however he wishes.

As long as he doesn't threaten this world, Fang Zhiyan being a mountain‑king in the game is irrelevant.

Yet he came anyway; knowing Fang Zhiyan's character, after confirming Fang Zhiyan truly was in this world, he was already on Yang Yixie's kill list.

Could a being who developed affection for Ying Duo because of his insane actions be a normal person?

Precisely because Ying Duo is outrageous, it is normal for people to feel disgust toward him.

Yang Yixie is very self‑aware in this regard.

Therefore, he must not let Fang Zhiyan escape.

"Don't rush; we can still execute another round."

He squinted, his golden eyes locking onto the figure diving deeper beneath the sea, and raised his hand to issue several commands.

The weapons floating in the air were retracted, transforming into several intricate metal mechanical modules that gathered toward the spot behind him, forming a massive silhouette of metal and energy.

Even the black mech had several parts directly dismantled; its propulsion emitted fine light specks that were installed onto the huge Cannon to absorb the impact.

After the final command completed, his finger decisively pressed the Space key.

As Fang Zhiyan kept diving deeper into the abyss, he suddenly realized something, looked up in a flash, and saw only a tiny speck of light above his head.

He had seen that kind of light before.

In Tianmian City, he once, together with others, shielded it, only that beam that pierced heaven and earth, stabbing the conspiracy hidden deep beneath Tianmian City.

And now, he has become the target of the Flame City Cannon.

All Yang Yixie lacks is time.

As Mu Linyuan said, with ample supplies, all he lacks is time.

In a past timeline, he had to lie hidden for a long time to gather enough materials and develop weapons capable of bringing destruction to that timeline.

And this timeline has already become their best future.

"I appreciate your teaching, but this is a permanent farewell."

"Master."

The plastic master and disciple, seldom sincere, shouted at each other, but sadly the other couldn't hear, and that shout was intended to take his life.

On the shore, no one would notice the far end of the distant horizon, though at sunset, people on a seaside date might.

Fishermen on the pier were sorting nets and ropes, gulls perched on the boats, someone dumped freshly caught fish onto the deck, and people's lives were gradually getting back on track.

In the distant horizon, at the water‑sky junction, a green light suddenly flared, its fiber quickly stretched, expanding outward and tinting a corner of the sky with that highly polluting hue.

The fishermen on the sea paused, looked toward the distance, a vague heaviness pressed on their shoulders, prompting an immediate decision to turn back.

As the green light fell, the sea violently shook; a huge void was blasted in the ocean, surrounding water rushed inward, and the once‑calm waves instantly turned into a raging sea.

Even if Fang Zhiyan didn't die from that blast, he would still be torn apart by the raging sea...

Ying Guang Lu energy dust fluttered down, but shaping that energy would require too much effort; otherwise Yang Yixie might consider molding it into paper‑money shapes.

Some people are born not to belong to this peaceful world; if they insist on destroying this hard‑won peace, then may they forever rest in the deep sea.

Yang Yixie stood beside the cannon that had just fired, its energy completely drained, and decisively moved toward Luo Jinyou.

"Squeeze."

He sat on the edge of Luo Jinyou's floating device, leaving only a small spot for Luo Jinyou to stand on.

"Let's do it by hand."

Yang Yixie, expressionless, gave everyone a thumbs‑up; his Ying Guang Lu hair was gradually fading, but from his demeanor it seemed he intended for Luo Jinyou to take him back together.

Coming was easy, returning was hard; they still didn't know how long they'd have to fly over the sea.

After the big battle here, everyone was exhausted, yet they still had to channel energy to fly toward the continent, where the forums were already erupting again.

"Who fired a nuclear bomb on the sea surface?! No radiation, right?"

"Science: Although a nuclear bomb's key material is uranium, that doesn't mean its explosion will be Ying Guang Lu colored!"

"So, was it an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb?"

"Neither!!!"

The authorities are immediately trying to determine the cause, while also posting various scientific explanations online to prevent panicked netizens from speculating even more wildly.
