Hearing Lin Yi's voice, Deman's previously relaxed expression twisted into a grimace, his eyes flashing a deep scarlet.
"What do you understand? Can you comprehend the struggles of someone who has risen from a Primitive Tribe to the pinnacle of power? Do you know what it feels like to finally be elected as the President of Kenya after enduring countless hardships, only to be diagnosed with terminal cancer? With current technology, I won't even survive my term!
For decades, I lived a peaceful life, willing to dedicate everything for this country, but in the end, what did I receive? Just an invitation from death that I cannot refuse!
If it were you, would you accept this fate? I refuse to accept it; I will fight with everything I have! And when I learned that even Washington's advanced technology could only keep me alive like a living corpse, what more could I possibly ask from this world?
Then the divine came; He gave me a new life! He bestowed upon me unparalleled combat power and endless life! For me and for countless others waiting for death, what news could be better than this?
So what's wrong with the Eternal Kingdom? Why do you resist? Do you know what it's like to wait for death? Do you know the despair of suffering endlessly yet gaining nothing?
You don’t understand; you are all a bunch of self-righteous individuals who think you can ignore us, the ants in your eyes. Thus, we must fight for ourselves; only by taking destiny into our own hands can we truly achieve eternity!"
Deman seemed to ignite like a powder keg, pouring out his emotions. Lin Yi finally understood why a person would willingly betray the entire world and feel justified in doing so; Deman's words were not without reason.
"And those who die because of you? Why should they lose their lives for your selfish interests? Do you even realize how many lives you've destroyed? Why should they pay the price for your survival?"
Lin Yi stared at Deman, enunciating each word. No matter how justified the other might feel, betrayal was still betrayal—betraying the entire human world for personal gain was unforgivable.
"Hahaha! Good! I cannot bear such selflessness. Let’s see who can survive until the end!"
Deman's once scarlet eyes suddenly cleared, and then his figure blurred before vanishing completely.
Lin Yi's heart sank. He sensed something was amiss. Instantly, he focused his thoughts, and the surroundings shifted from the tumultuous sea to an empty void. There was nothing—only an eternal silence.
"President Lin. You haven't evolved to this level; what do you have to fight against me?" At that moment, Deman's voice echoed in Lin Yi's ear, but Lin Yi realized that there was no sign of Deman in this world he controlled.
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a surge of intense energy shooting toward him—not from his Absolute Space but from outside!
This is bad! Lin Yi realized that he had been silently pulled into Deman's space without noticing!
Lin Yi reacted swiftly, energy swirling rapidly in his hands. A light blue water column shot towards the intense energy, while Lin Yi himself retreated quickly after retracting his spatial abilities.
Absolute Space was connected to his mind; if it were destroyed by the opponent, Lin Yi would be severely injured, if not killed.
A strange sound echoed, and as Lin Yi turned to look, he felt a chill run down his spine.
The two energies collided, but the searing energy did not strike the water column Lin Yi had launched. Instead, it bizarrely veered in mid-air and shot directly back towards him!
Was this some kind of auto-guided missile? Lin Yi cursed inwardly and quickly erected several ice walls in front of him. He knew that no matter how he dodged, he couldn't escape; the only option was to exhaust all that energy.
With a series of sharp sounds, the ice walls he had just conjured were instantly pierced by the fiery spear, leaving Lin Yi with only a moment to react.
In that instant, Lin Yi roared in anger. His hands moved without pause, and in the blink of an eye, six metallic walls formed before him. He was confident that even someone beyond Ten-Star Peak wouldn't be able to break through them all at once!
Just as Lin Yi's thoughts solidified, a crimson spear was less than a meter from his forehead! The speed of the fiery spear not only did not slow down but surged even more!
"Open—"
The fiery spear in Lin Yi's eyes grew larger. Just as it was about to pierce his forehead, a black hole appeared within it. With a whoosh, the fiery spear vanished inside.
However, it soon reemerged from another direction, returning to Deman's hand.
"You are the first person whose strength is inferior to mine yet managed to evade my 'Grim Reaper' attack!" Deman looked at Lin Yi with a hint of astonishment on his face.
"Oh? Should I feel proud then?" Lin Yi thought to himself as he wiped away a bead of sweat. Just when the fiery spear was about to pierce his head, he had opened Alternate Dimension in time. However, he dared not leave the spear inside; if it exploded there, the damage would be worse than being hit directly.
During his first encounter with First Generation Zombie, he had been trapped in its space and couldn't use Alternate Dimension. But now, thanks to the enhancement from Earth Attribute Crystal, he had gained enough power to control his Alternate Dimension!
"Your Alternate Dimension is indeed remarkable; no wonder Lord always considered you a variable—truly extraordinary!"
Deman's strength was a level above Lin Yi's, and in this world, there were no more than five individuals who could cross such a level. He was not worried about Lin Yi escaping. After all, under Deman's full power, there was hardly anyone in this world he couldn't find.
"Then today, I will use my Alternate Dimension to take your life and honor my fallen comrades!"
Lin Yi knew that dragging this out would be disadvantageous for him. Once the people outside freed their hands, no matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't be able to deal with two opponents at once!
Before his words had even finished, Lin Yi focused his thoughts and appeared at Deman's side. In terms of speed, with his mastery of Spatial Power, Lin Yi believed he would not lose to Deman.
Deman's reaction speed was also impressive; almost as soon as Lin Yi appeared behind him, a wall of fire rose up in front of Lin Yi.
At that moment, a layer of ice crystals suddenly covered Lin Yi's body. Without hesitation, he charged through the Fire Sea wielding his Lightning Blade!
In the blink of an eye, the ice crystals on Lin Yi vanished completely. His battle suit was scorched, and his face bore the marks of burns.
"Crackle—"
The Lightning Blade, charged with all his power, pierced into Deman's shoulder. Instantly, electricity coursed through Deman's entire body, the sound of thunder echoing as it traveled within him!
However, Lin Yi knew that such a strike would have no effect on Deman! Just as the Lightning Power entered Deman's body, Lin Yi waved his hand, and Deman transformed into an Ice Sculpture!
In the next moment, the blade in Lin Yi's hand flashed. A gleaming metallic edge sliced through Deman's head, severing it cleanly from his body!
But this was just the beginning. As soon as Deman's head fell, Lin Yi unleashed a flurry of strikes with his blade. In the blink of an eye, he delivered tens of thousands of cuts! What had once been a complete humanoid ice figure was reduced to powder in an instant, vanishing into the fiery world around them.
"Ha—" It was only then that Lin Yi managed to exhale deeply, noticing that his burns were visibly healing at an astonishing rate.
"Not bad, but that's still not enough!"
At that moment, Lin Yi suddenly felt an overwhelming force crashing against his chest. From what had just been powder before him, a vague figure began to coalesce!
Although Lin Yi knew that Deman would not die so easily, he never expected that even after being reduced to dust, Deman could recover in the blink of an eye, and he was completely unaware of it!
Caught off guard, Lin Yi had no time to react as a massive hand shot toward his chest. In a panic, he quickly conjured dozens of defensive walls!
However, these defensive walls crumbled like paper, instantly shattered by the giant hand. Finally, an overwhelming force slammed into Lin Yi's chest.
Lin Yi felt as if a meteor had collided with his body; he lost control and was sent flying backward.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft—”
Although Lin Yi's physical defenses were impressive, being struck head-on caused him to spit out several mouthfuls of blood. His face turned pale, and his momentum waned.
Deman seemed to have lost patience. After injuring Lin Yi with one blow, he did not pause for a moment and instantly conjured countless fiery spears that shot toward Lin Yi.
Knowing that fleeing was not an option, Lin Yi swiftly changed direction and dove toward the ground. The fiery spears seemed to possess a mind of their own, shifting in response to Lin Yi's movements.
Thus, a chase unfolded in this fiery world, with Lin Yi as the protagonist. However, he soon realized that the number of fiery spears was increasing; no matter how he dodged, new deadly spears awaited him ahead!
In an instant, Lin Yi blurred and landed on the ground. Although the ground was also engulfed in flames, it could not harm him. Standing on the ground allowed him to avoid the fiery spears rushing at him from all directions!
