Chapter 698: The Way to End Everything

"Ha...?"

Zhang Jie finally let out a sound, filled with incredulous doubt.

At the moment he learned the truth, Zhang Jie couldn't describe what he felt; the reality was simply too absurd, leaving him unable to react.

"Is this really true?"

Zhang Jie muttered to himself, even beginning to doubt the reality of his experiences.

"What am I, then?"

"A foreign race that seized power?"

He looked at himself in the mirror; similarly, he was a monster like Ceng Tian, but his body emanated a stronger evil aura.

In other words, Qi Yu has always seen him like this?

"Hehe..."

"That's really quite heavy-tasted."

Zhang Jie self-mockingly said, becoming a Legendary Investigator only made him more confused.

Has the first half of the prophecy come true? No, he doesn't know where the cause of the light-cone convergence lies.

What about the second half? Being mimicked and devouring everything not cherished—what does that mean?

"In the end, nothing can be changed."

Zhang Jie shook his head; even after becoming a Legendary Investigator and seeing the world's essence, he still couldn't change his form—essentially, he remained that ugly monster.

"So what should he do now?"

"Kill the evil god?"

"Would killing the evil god truly change the world's fate of being devoured by the Insect Tide?"

The answer is negative; Zhang Jie clearly knows his body is not perfect, and the high-dimensional energy he bears has already reached its limit.

His body can only withstand the contamination from becoming a Legendary Investigator.

But soon, Zhang Jie stopped agonizing; no matter what, first resolve the immediate danger.

The aura of the Legendary Investigator instantly spread, startling everyone.

Especially Qi Yu and the Mother Goddess, they gazed toward Zhang Jie's direction, their eyes unable to hide shock and fear.

"How about... how about we surrender?"

Qi Yu proposed this; the Mother Goddess unexpectedly said nothing, she merely knew her fortunes had faded.

"Don't move for now; let's wait and see."

The Mother Goddess sighed deeply, helplessly said, and at this moment Zhang Jie had already arrived upon Bixing.

Gazing at the abnormal god that had troubled them for a long time, Zhang Jie sneered, pulled out the living Sniper Rifle behind him, and aimed at the abnormal god below.

"Old partner, get ready!"

The Shotgun that had evolved into a Sniper Rifle let out a low roar, eager to try, its booming sound echoing across the whole Bixing.

The next moment, a brilliant pillar of light fell from the sky; Zhang Jie ruthlessly gave this planet a biological cleansing.

And everyone on the mother planet witnessed this spectacle; the sudden powerful fluctuation left all Forbidden Permits feeling immensely shocked.

No one knows what Zhang Jie experienced, why he suddenly broke through to Legendary Investigator; they only know perhaps humanity can be saved.

At this moment, Lei Na gazed at the distant starry sky, her eyes full of doubt.

"Why..."

Lei Na didn't understand; she had thought this world was already her illusion, but now what is the situation with the Legendary Investigator?

However, what she thinks now is no longer important.

This world is filled with strangeness everywhere; it is fundamentally not her world, which is why she has become so distant from Zhang Jie.

In fact, she dreams of returning, to that... even if it is not the world of the Forbidden Permit.

At least that place is her home.

Mixed quality aside, Zhang Jie effortlessly resolved all the abnormal gods, directly purging Bixing.

"Next...."

Next is to confront the evil god again; Zhang Jie believes he now has sufficient ability to oppose them.

The identity represented by ability, he believes the evil god now won't speak in riddles to him.

Until now, he has not shared with anyone his becoming a Legendary Investigator; in his former fantasies, when he broke through to Legendary Investigator, it would surely be celebrated worldwide.

Those around him would surely congratulate him joyfully, but they did not.

Qi Yu now doesn't know if she can still be saved; Lei Na also gradually drifts from him; others are so busy they have no time to spare; compared to before, he is now like a solitary dweller with no one to share his joy.

Facing the evil god alone is not a spur-of-the-moment idea; it is Zhang Jie's decision after deep thought.

First, he still cannot accept that humans are the 'abnormal' reality; second, he alone is sufficient to confront the evil god, seeking others would be pointless.

Little does he know, everyone now awaits his return; by common sense, this trip of his should be a venting; after dealing with the abnormal, he should come back.

But unfortunately, that didn't happen; Zhang Jie flew straight toward Yunxing.

In the distance, on that black planet, the huge eye has been watching his arrival; it seems to have been waiting for Zhang Jie for a long time.

"Long time no see."

The evil god spoke first, his tone still refined and cultured.

"Mm, indeed long time no see."

Zhang Jie nodded; since the last confrontation, he hasn't come here again.

The evil god squinted his eyes happily, then continued.

"So, this time you came, is it to kill me and give your species another lease on life without a future?"

Zhang Jie said nothing; in fact, he fundamentally had no reason to kill the evil god.

Especially after learning the truth, it's even more so.

Have you heard the outside sounds? Outside the star system's membrane, over hundreds of billions of Insect disaster (general) have already gathered.

Rather than wasting energy here, it's better to put your strength to use out there—what do you think?

Zhang Jie:....

That's correct, but Zhang Jie doesn't want to act right now.

Let's speak frankly—does my species still have a chance?

There is hope, certainly there is hope—you just need to convince the Mother Goddess; as long as she doesn't act against you, everything can be worked out.

Zhang Jie:....

Are you just messing around with me here?

Zhang Jie laughed in anger—he's already a Legendary Investigator; where is this Mother Goddess, some roadside figure, and yet you talk about convincing her?

Cut the nonsense, okay?

Hahaha, fine, fine.

My conclusion remains unchanged, but I'll tell you the reason.

The way to end all this is to make the Mother Goddess become the Legendary Investigator you speak of.

Only they, the entire Mimic Group, can resist the high-dimensional energy that proliferates infinitely.

The Evil God merely released a faint breath, and Zhang Jie furrowed his brow.

It is the aura of pollution, a power a million times more terrifying than extreme intensity.

Zhang Jie even felt that a moment's worth of this pollution could create ten versions of him capable of becoming a Legendary Investigator.

You might not know the power of the Mimic Group, especially the Mother Goddess.

Once she grows to a certain extent—like you are now—she can withstand limitless pollution.

The Evil God's eyes narrowed as he gazed at the Mother Star, his tone betraying undisguised pride.

You might not realize how strong she is, but I know it's the power to protect the entire star system...
