Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

Sisi began calmly reviewing everything that had happened over this past month.

First, the Fire Shadow Clan rose unexpectedly thanks to the Waaagh GP and the Eye of Gork Rally.

And in a large-scale assault by the Shrimp, they achieved the foremost merit.

From an unknown minor clan, they leapt to become a rising power on Kal II.

Then Yaduoduo took the initiative to seek them out, and with a single sentence pierced the apprehension toward Chandler that he had kept buried deep in his heart, unwilling even to admit it to himself.

Helped him gather the desperate Blood Axe Remnants, used perfect tactics to repel the Shrimp's two-pronged offensive, and established his prestige.

Then they used a speed duel and a heavy strike to completely subdue the unruly Evil Sun Clan.

Plotted step by step, letting the Evil Moon Clan be liquidated because of their own greed, dragging the entire Middle Level of Kal II into the quagmire of civil war.

And then Chandler was forced to emerge from seclusion early, until the two camps completely broke and turned blades on each other.

And also... the Human Fleet "just happened" to launch a full-scale invasion at this moment, a three-way melee, the situation completely spiraling out of control.

All matters seemed logical and inevitable, but upon careful thought, at every critical juncture, the Fire Shadow Clan's shadow was present.

Every time, it was Yaduoduo who made the apt suggestion.

Every time, it was the Fire Shadow Clan charging at the very front, using the most "reasonable" methods, pushing the situation toward an irrevocable direction.

Were they really helping him?

Sisi's gaze fell upon Lin En's position.

That Beastman Big Guy "One Beats Seven" who had always stood silently behind Yaduoduo, inconspicuous and taciturn.

At this moment he was standing in the shadow of that so-called "Great Cold God Envoy", calmly watching the chaotic battlefield below.

In his eyes there was none of the Green Skin's characteristic frenzy and bloodlust, only a bystander's calm and indifference.

As if all the slaughter before him were merely pieces on his chessboard.

A terrifying thought slowly rose in the depths of Sisi's heart.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, he had been used as a piece by the Fire Shadow Clan, by this Beastman called "One Beats Seven".

He exploited his own wariness of Chandler, exploited the Beastman's innate desire for power.

Step by step deepening his conflict with Chandler, provoking this civil war capable of destroying Kal II.

He made no fanfare, merely quietly extending his psychic perception like rain soaking into earth, carefully enveloping the direction of Lin En and Lena.

Wanting to probe their true identities, and the secrets in the depths of their souls.

"That Beastman called Sisi has already begun to suspect us."

Lena's voice, transmitted through the mental link, coldly entered Lin En's mind, carrying strong vigilance.

"He is using psychic power to probe us."

Sisi's psychic strength is very high, even dozens of times stronger than Luna the Tzeentch Wizard.

Within this space station, his psychic presence stands out like a small moon.

Every move he makes is extremely conspicuous in Lena's eyes.

"Mm, no problem." Lin En's tone remained light and unconcerned; he had long anticipated Sisi would notice something amiss.

After all, no one who becomes an Alpha-level Esper is a fool.

The previous Sisi was merely intoxicated by the thrill of power and authority; now that he has calmed down, he naturally sees the flaws in all this.

He paused, then suddenly asked with some worry:

"Did he notice you observing him?"

After all, when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

"No." Lena's voice was certain.

"My psychic power is above his."

Hearing this, Lin En couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to lightly pat Lena's cold armor.

Having a meal ticket sure is nice.

Just as Lin En and Lena were chatting easily, Luna, whose teleportation had been interrupted, had already completely fallen into madness.

She watched the ever-increasing Green Skins, and Lin En in the distance looking completely at ease; months of pent-up anger and resentment erupted in an instant.

Tricked by Lin En again and again, fleeing in wretched disarray again and again, failing again and again.

All the humiliation and unwillingness converged into a torrential hatred at this moment.

She could even imagine Lin En mocking her stupidity and incompetence in his heart right now.

"Lin En!!!"

Luna let out a hysterical scream, her voice sharp and piercing from rage.

She fiercely yanked the control stick; pale blue flames rose up, enveloping the entire mecha.

She ignored Sisi's psychic attack from behind, and the concentrated firepower of the Green Skins all around.

Concentrating all power into the thrusters, the fifteen-meter-tall mecha charged like a runaway bull.

With a momentum of mutual destruction, it crashed toward Lin En standing on the ruins.

"Crazy?" Lin En raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised at the charging Luna.

A pitch-black psychic lightning from Sisi struck the Knight Mecha's back; the powerful impact made the mecha stagger.

Countless bullets struck the Mecha's shield, splashing up ripples one after another.

Yet the Mecha paid no heed, still staring dead at Lin En, charging at full speed.

Luna's eyes were filled with Bloodshot, her face wore a Madness Smile; no one knew what she was thinking.

When she had closed to less than a hundred meters from Lin En, that Ion Shield of hers, already teetering on the verge of collapse,

Finally began to flicker bright and dark, liable to collapse completely at any moment.

The Profane Runes on the shield's surface lit up one by one, then shattered one by one, emitting piercing Screams.

Lena could feel that within every Scream lay hidden the agonized souls of dozens of Mortals.

Right then, Luna fiercely pressed a hidden red button on the console.

This button was the STC Data Plate's true Secret, and also her trump card; unless absolutely forced, she would never use it.

The Ion Shield, originally covered in a layer of colorful radiance, suddenly began to rotate at high speed.

Countless Energy Patterns flowed rapidly across the shield's surface, letting out a deafening howl.

The gale generated by the rotation swept up the Ground's Gravel and dust, adhering them to the shield.

"What, you're turning into a spinning top too?" Lin En couldn't help but quip.

But the next second, a powerful sense of Crisis instantly erupted from the bottom of Lin En's heart, making his Sweat Hair stand on end.

This feeling was no less than the Crisis he felt last time facing the Lord of Lust Great Demon head-on.

Only to see, at the center of the high-speed rotating shield, a fist-sized spherical light ball slowly condensing.

That light ball looked ordinary, completely transparent, without any Energy Fluctuation, not fast either, drifting slowly toward Lin En.

But as long as one's Perception was slightly keen, one could sense the Terrifying energy capable of Destruction contained within it.

It was a chaotic energy compressed to the extreme, containing all the power left by the attacks Luna had suffered over the past Ten Minutes.

Sisi's Rampage psychic energy, the Grot's blade chops and axe hacks and Bao Dan's thermal and kinetic energy.

All damage and energy were condensed into this one tiny light ball.
