Lin Yi was struck with shock; just a single aura was enough to leave him dazed, even causing a crack to appear in his previously sealed Absolute Space.
To understand, he had always linked this space to himself to allow Zhao Pei to hide within it, expending only a minimal amount of energy. Most of the time, Lin Yi kept this space completely closed, relying solely on a thread of Psychic Power to communicate with it, preventing its whereabouts from being lost.
Now, merely the opponent's imposing presence had caused him to lose focus, rendering even his own space unable to conceal itself!
"Ying Sa, when you leave later, take everyone with you! If you can't make it in time, go by yourself!" Lin Yi understood the situation; every escapee counted. Ying Sa's strength was undoubtedly formidable, though it often went unnoticed under Lin Yi's brilliance.
The strong members of the Judgment Division could recognize Ying Sa's abilities; her power was not to be underestimated. Just her ability to layer spaces for movement made her someone not easily pursued by ordinary individuals.
"Lin Yi, I can't hide anymore. Let me out too! Together we can face him; there's still hope!" Zhao Pei seemed to have made a significant decision as he spoke through gritted teeth.
Lin Yi hesitated. Although the surrounding space was locked down, he still had confidence in his ability to escape. However, he could only leave alone; the others from Paris Fortress would surely be trapped!
"Damn it, how can such a powerful Zombie come after us!"
Despite Lin Yi's strength, he knew that there were still many whose abilities surpassed his own, especially those at Cook's level. The golden-haired figure before him clearly belonged to that tier. Yet now, this individual stood right in front of him, and Lin Yi found himself at a loss on how to deal with it.
"The Zombie is about to make its move; they fear you growing too powerful!" Zhao Pei was still within Lin Yi's Alternate Dimension. With Lin Yi refusing to let him out, he had no other options.
At that moment, a thunderous sound echoed through the air: "Hmm, not bad. In just a few short years, you've evolved to this extent. If I had known earlier, I would have brought you over to our side right from the start."
Lin Yi squinted at the Blonde Man, feeling a slight sting in his eyes. However, he also realized that while the Blonde Man was indeed stronger than him, he was at most on par with Cook's level.
In that instant, a blur appeared in Lin Yi's hand as a yellowish energy orb manifested there. It was the congratulatory gift given to him after he became the Mercenary Leader from the Resistance. While Lin Yi could absorb Energy Crystals, managing various energies simultaneously had become increasingly difficult.
He had always been looking for a suitable opportunity to merge his energy, as it would increase the safety factor. However, there was no time left now. His strength was indeed formidable, but against the Blonde Man, it was still insufficient.
In the next moment, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, and the crystal in his hand seemed to melt away like snow, dissolving into his palm and disappearing.
In just an instant, Lin Yi felt as if his entire body was wrapped in a thin membrane. At the same time, a solid sensation swept over him; he felt as if he were a mountain, firmly standing on this ground, unshakeable by anyone.
The Blonde Man hovered in mid-air, half-closing his eyes, showing no intention of stopping Lin Yi's actions.
"Go! Don't worry about me!"
Seeing that Ying Sa had not yet left, Lin Yi shouted fiercely at her. Ying Sa's eyes turned red, and she immediately turned to leave.
The Blonde Zombie glanced at the fleeing Ying Sa and then looked at Lin Yi. "What’s this? Shouldn't another one come out? Otherwise, dying like this is not the style of my divine race."
Lin Yi sensed a surge of power shooting towards him from the other side. He snorted coldly, and a wave of overwhelming strength rose from the ground, rushing toward that mysterious force.
"Boom—"
When the two forces collided, strangely enough, the sound was exceptionally faint, like a spark bursting. The two forces vanished together without a trace.
"You really have some skills; too bad your life ends here!" The Blonde Man was slightly taken aback. He believed that with his strength, aside from a few individuals, no one could withstand his full-force attack.
"Is that so? I only know that those who were like you before are already dead!" Lin Yi frowned. With Ying Sa far away now, he no longer had many reservations.
A hint of brutality appeared in the Blonde Man's eyes. Who wouldn't tremble upon sensing his vast ocean-like energy? Yet this person before him seemed utterly unconcerned.
“Lin Yi, if we were still brothers, let me out. We can fight together and hold on until help arrives!”
This planet, though vast, was merely a matter of taking a few more steps for those at the peak of power. Zhao Pei, being a high-ranking half-Zombie, spoke with the intention of buying time.
Lin Yi suppressed the surging blood from their earlier clash of powers. Although he hadn’t used his full strength, it was clear that neither had Zhao Pei.
In the next moment, Lin Yi waved his hand, creating a gap large enough for a person to pass through. A figure emerged from it—Zhao Pei.
“We brothers are united; we can definitely do this!”
Zhao Pei raised his fist confidently, though he seemed more to be rallying himself than anyone else.
The Blonde Man watched as Zhao Pei emerged and descended from the air with a look of disdain. “I knew something was off with you. You were so eager to deal with Lin Yi; turns out you had this plan all along.
When your aura vanished, I felt a bit regretful. I didn’t expect you to hide in this Absolute Space; it’s quite a good hiding spot!”
As a Second Generation Zombie, Zhao Pei held a significant status. Though not as powerful as the Blonde Zombie before him, he was still an elite among the super-powered. Initially, the Blonde Zombie thought that even if Zhao Pei couldn’t defeat Lin Yi, escaping would be no problem. Little did he know that Zhao Pei had returned to the Human Camp.
“Hmph! Steve, when did you become so whiny?” In battles among experts, psychological warfare was also essential. Zhao Pei understood that his opponent aimed to make him yield by creating a tense atmosphere.
“Fine! Since both of you want to die so quickly, I won’t mind sending you to meet your god!”
As soon as Steve’s words fell, Lin Yi and Zhao Pei felt as if the scenery around them had switched like a film reel, transforming in an instant into an expanse of yellow earth.
“This is… your world?”
Lin Yi stared at the scene before him, astonished. Most people's spaces were lifeless worlds dominated by blackness. However, the world in front of him was different; it featured an endless desert, rolling hills, and even hints of lush greenery. The sky was a brilliant blue, with occasionally shifting white clouds drifting by.
If it weren't for the strange feeling Lin Yi sensed, he might have thought he had merely arrived in a desert in Nevada, rather than being in the realm of the Blonde Zombie.
"Do you know what the difference is? This is the difference! My space, aside from lacking true organic life, is almost indistinguishable from the real world!"
Seeing the astonishment on their faces, the Blonde Zombie wore a proud expression. On this planet, only a handful of individuals could achieve such a level.
"Don't worry; this place is also formed from condensed energy. If he can truly create a world of his own, he would be a true god!"
Earlier, Zhao Pei had received some information about this kind of world from Steve. After all, if he advanced further, he could also reach this level, so he needed to understand more about the situation after evolution.
"Alright, we'll fight on the ground later!"
Regaining his composure, Lin Yi felt the heaviness beneath his feet. He realized that although this place was completely isolated from the outside world, it still allowed for sufficient energy absorption.
Zhao Pei nodded, and soon the two stood back to back, adopting a fully defensive stance.
"Roar—"
Suddenly, two Humanoid Monsters materialized from the sand. These creatures stood about two meters tall, their bodies muscular and exuding an aura of brutality.
"This—Super Tier Warrior!" Lin Yi was slightly taken aback. The two Humanoid Monsters that had casually formed from the sand were as powerful as he and Zhao Pei.
"One at a time; don't get too far apart!"
Lin Yi dared not be the slightest bit careless. With a swift movement, he charged toward the humanoid monster! In that instant, a metallic sheen enveloped his entire body, transforming him into a Metal Warrior!
"Bang—"
This time, Lin Yi turned himself into a weapon and launched a fierce impact against the chest of the humanoid monster. A tremendous rebound force surged through him, causing Lin Yi to flip repeatedly until he dissipated the overwhelming power!
However, although the Humanoid Monster did not stagger back, its entire body was showered with debris, and its chest caved in.
"Roar—"
The Humanoid Monster let out a deafening roar. The collapsed areas of its body were quickly replenished, while thick yellow sand swirled around its feet and flowed over its entire form.
Lin Yi's eyelids twitched as he leaped toward the Humanoid Monster, suddenly brandishing a gleaming Ice Crystal Blade in his hand!
"Slash!"
With a loud shout, Lin Yi's blade surged with power, striking down with thunderous force toward the neck of the Humanoid Monster.
