Chapter 701: The Legend of the Infinite Loop

Lei Na is currently on her way to support Zhang Jie, and she truly doesn't understand why, even now, humanity's seven Forbidden Permits aren't going to support.

Only Zhang Jie's side will go over, but if they fail, won't the others also be doomed together?

Lei Na gritted her teeth and shot out of the atmosphere, but what came straight at her was a black insect disaster as big as a truck!

Its! The carapace shimmered with an extremely oily sheen, and its sharp triple mouthparts made one's body go cold just looking at them.

Lei Na widened her eyes, reacted swiftly, and a strike belonging to the Forbidden Permit burst forth violently.

The attack slid off the opponent's extremely smooth carapace, making no sound and causing no damage.

Lei Na's face instantly turned extremely grim; you're saying that the thing gnawing at the star system hull membrane out there is this kind of thing?

How do we fight this kind of single-combat power?

Lei Na, unwilling to accept this, charged again and attacked frenziedly; after several rounds, the insect disaster's carapace only gained a few scratches.

"Is this... the gap?"

Zhang Jie alone held back the countless insect tribe at that rift, while she couldn't even kill a single one.

Unable to help him, far above Cloud Star, red lasers kept picking off the insect tribe, and even the Evil God warship that had been harassing humanity was pitching in.

Lei Na watched, gritted her teeth, and continued to face the insect disaster before her, which remained unscathed; she had never understood these people's behavior.

Whether it's the Evil God, mimics, or humanity itself, their actions are all strange.

Why doesn't the Evil God devote itself to nurturing civilization's growth? Must it do this? Are you raising a gu king over there?

It's fine to understand it this way, but Lei Na can't think about that much anymore.

In the distance, the sword light flickered ever more frequently; that swarm of insect disasters kept surging in, with no end in sight.

"Damn! Once surrounded, we're instantly killed!"

Zhang Jie, after another time reversal, gritted his teeth and stared at these insect disasters, feeling somewhat powerless in his heart.

"Don't let any insect disasters leak through! We can't kill them fast enough!"

The Evil God shouted from one side; Zhang Jie's hair turned white again in a strand, and he clenched his teeth.

"No, if I keep rewinding like this, the insect disasters won't get to chew me to death before I drain myself dry!"

Zhang Jie cursed silently in his heart, his actions tightening a bit more; now the strategy must prioritize stability.

Perhaps because he is no longer the young man he once was, his combat skill, judgment, and stamina have all declined.

And most importantly, his spirit is no longer what it used to be.

"The sword... paused."

Even though Ordinary Blade remains as sharp as ever, when Zhang Jie holds it, he feels it lacks that former... blazing edge.

"Am I getting old?"

Zhang Jie clenched his teeth; the huge barrel of his gun trembled slightly—even using the living Shotgun this frequently leaves him somewhat lacking in strength.

"Evil God!!! Can't you spare some pollution?"

"I'm having trouble holding on!"

The Evil God feels just as bad; it feels like it's about to be drained empty. If it really can't go on, it might as well let civilization degenerate back to the Stone Age!

Thinking this, Zhang Jie's hair turned white another strand—how many more of these insect disasters are there!!!

No one can give him an answer; the Legendary Investigator, the so-called Legendary, is merely a planetary-level single-planet combat power.

If these insect disasters weren't blocked by the star system hull membrane, they'd swarm in en masse and they would have already been alkylated octazide.

"....."

"Don't worry."

A voice suddenly sounded in his ear; Zhang Jie startled, realizing who the voice belonged to.

"Don't hold back, keep going—fight to the end, and I'll help you."

Zhang Jie froze, the corners of his mouth rose, and he nodded heavily.

In an instant, his fighting style became extremely aggressive; the pressure on the Evil God's side lessened greatly, it looked puzzled, yet all it saw was Zhang Jie now acting like a madman, fearless of death.

As long as he doesn't die, he won't rewind.

"....."

"Not bad, Your Excellency!"

The Evil God sighed, no longer looking at Zhang Jie, turning to focus on dealing with the monsters you let slip through.

Zhang Jie fought on, killing nonstop; his power drained rapidly, and his hair turned white wildly.

Yet Zhang Jie now only felt exhilarated, incredibly exhilarated.

In this exhilarating carnage, he seemed to want to vent all the pent-up frustration of these years!

"Come on!!!"

The insect tide hesitated for a moment, but soon they burst forth with even more furious roars.

Swarms of insect tide surged forward, their speed now even more ferocious than before.

"Tear him apart!"

This is the sole pheromone emitted by the insect swarm; Zhang Jie gazed at the dark crowd, made no move, and actually slowly closed his eyes.

"Brother, I'm out of strength."

Those two words were his last shout, using all his remaining strength; at this moment, his life has reached its end.

But.... it's not over yet!

"Leave it to me."

A familiar voice sounded; Zhang Jie only felt his body lighten, his consciousness pulled into the void.

The feeling of weakness vanished instantly; Zhang Jie opened his eyes to see that the place he had been was now radiating dazzling light.

A youthful-looking Zhang Jie appeared within that light!

Chief Investigator's Legacy·Legend Specialized Type!

It summoned forth that most arrogant, most confident self!

「Legend??? 」

The other party looked somewhat shocked, but soon he understood everything.

「So that's how it is. 」

「Then I... lack nothing! 」

Zhang Jie felt a sudden daze, watching his younger self fearlessly charge into the Insect Tide, and suddenly he understood the feeling the Chief Investigator had toward him that year.

「How... nostalgic. 」

Young Zhang Jie's blade is truly sharp....

「Take a good rest. 」

「You've done very well. 」

A sound came from behind; Zhang Jie turned his head and saw the man sitting in the void, but for some reason he felt that the other party needed rest more than he did.

「I am already resting. 」

He said with a smile, as if seeing through Zhang Jie's thoughts.

「How many of me will take turns? 」

Zhang Jie gazed at the figure moving through the insect swarm, then continued speaking.

「We will not lose, even if only one person remains. 」

「This is an endless loop of legend. 」
