Absolute Space At this moment, it shone with dazzling light, and subtly, this place was no longer so dark and lifeless; it even gave a sense of infinite hope. Soon, it would be like a real world, full of vitality.
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect you to move so quickly!" The corners of Deman's mouth twitched slightly. He had just killed Charlie, Li Xianzong, and others not long ago, and now the enemy was upon him. He had never imagined that this was all part of a scheme—one that Charlie was willing to sacrifice himself to complete. Everyone had been drawn into the trap, including Lin Yi and his companions.
"There are many things you haven't considered, but I must tell you, our time for the final assault is now!" Lin Yi made it clear to Deman that he had killed Charlie, but he had not truly defeated him. Charlie had used his life to set up this trap; Deman had no grounds for pride!
"What?"
Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Deman could not accept this reality. All along, he believed he was the one manipulating others. Now, to find himself outsmarted was something he could hardly bear!
"Impossible! I slowly cut off his limbs; no matter how strong his mental power is, he couldn't possibly withstand my interrogation without telling the truth! Moreover, many signs indicate that he was speaking the truth!" Deman was always arrogant; he considered himself the strongest in this world and could not believe he had been deceived.
Hearing Deman's words made Lin Yi tremble with rage, his breath quickening. His previously calmed emotions were now completely out of control upon seeing Deman.
"Blood for blood!"
Just as Deman looked on in confusion, Lin Yi blurred and appeared around him. Suddenly, flames flickered around Deman, and then his figure vanished.
"Hahaha, Lin Yi, don't think that just because you're in your space, you're the king! It's not so easy for you to kill me now!" Deman's aura grew denser, and faint yellowish light flickered around him.
"You've obtained Steve's energy?" Lin Yi felt a jolt of unease. Deman had ambushed him but remained overconfident, which sent waves of anxiety through him.
"The power of my Lord is beyond your comprehension! This time, my Lord healed my injuries and directly enhanced my strength again," Deman said proudly as he looked at Lin Yi. Even if all the zombies in North America were wiped out, it wouldn't matter to him. This world was never short of people! His greatest reliance was on the power he had recently gained; he believed that aside from his Lord, no one could match him.
At this moment, Lin Yi quietly placed his hand behind him. A crimson crystal appeared in his palm and then quietly merged into his body. This crimson crystal was left behind by Elisa after her death; she had fused her energy into an Energy Crystal at the last moment. Initially, Lin Yi hadn't planned to merge it, but now he had no choice.
With practiced ease, Lin Yi controlled the energy within him; he no longer worried about losing control over his Energy Crystal. More importantly, he had already merged with a Flame Crystal before and knew exactly what to do.
"Who is your Lord?" Though seemingly indifferent, Lin Yi was very concerned about this question. As the saying goes: know yourself and know your enemy; in a hundred battles you will never be defeated. However, they had yet to uncover the identity of this mysterious true Zombie King. This uncertainty weighed heavily on Lin Yi, as that kind of unseen danger was the most terrifying thing.
"Hmph! The identity of my Lord is not something shameless humans like you can see!" A flicker of unease crossed Deman's eyes; in truth, he had never truly seen his own Lord. Yet every encounter with this ruler left him deeply impressed; he inherently respected this powerful figure whose face he had never seen.
"Oh? It seems you haven't seen them either; if they dare not reveal their true form to the world, how strong could such a person really be?" Lin Yi deliberately provoked Deman, though internally he felt immense curiosity. Even Reck and Cook's personal investigations had failed to uncover their true identity; this suggested that perhaps this individual had never appeared at all—otherwise there would be some trace left behind.
If someone who had never shown themselves could stir up such chaos on this planet, what would happen if that person truly appeared? Wouldn't it spell the end for this world? The thought sent a chill down Lin Yi's spine. Although currently, Deman posed no threat to him, that ruler remained the greatest variable. According to Reck's information, that ruler was making a final breakthrough but had been interrupted midway by two individuals; now no one knew what state they were in.
At that moment, Deman suddenly felt a twitch in his eyelids, sensing a subtle energy fluctuation quietly swirling around Lin Yi. During this process, it seemed as if Lin Yi's strength was continuously rising.
"What are you doing?"
Deman immediately sensed something was off. As soon as he spoke, a gleaming Flame Longsword had already formed in his hand. In the next instant, Deman's figure appeared right in front of Lin Yi.
Suddenly, a surge of flames erupted from Lin Yi's body, enveloping Deman's longsword! Deman felt his sword tighten in his grip, and he realized that his Crimson Energy Blade seemed to have merged with Lin Yi's flames.
"This is impossible!"
Panic flashed across Deman's face; he had never encountered such a situation before. His Crimson Energy Blade appeared to be part of Lin Yi's flames, completely beyond his control.
"Nothing is impossible!"
At that moment, a cold voice echoed in Deman's ear. He didn't have time to turn around before feeling a gust of wind rushing past him!
Caught off guard, Deman left an opening on his back, becoming the target of Lin Yi's ambush! Just then, a dark aura flickered across Deman's face, twisting it into a grimace. In the next moment, a ghostly face formed from black mist appeared on his back!
"Ha ha ha ha..."
A piercing laugh emanated from the ghostly face, its narrow eyes glowing with a crimson light. Upon seeing this, Lin Yi was taken aback; the ghostly visage was too grotesque and had appeared so suddenly!
However, with no choice but to act, Lin Yi's longsword surged forward toward the ghostly face! At that moment, the mouth of the ghostly face suddenly opened wide. With a hiss, a black arrow made of some viscous substance shot toward Lin Yi's sword.
Lin Yi’s blade was almost at the ghost’s mouth when the black arrow collided head-on with it! In an astonishing turn of events, the once unstoppable sword seemed to be blocked by some invisible force and could not advance at all!
"Ha ha—"
The ghostly face chuckled triumphantly as dozens of black arrows made of viscous material shot toward Lin Yi! Seeing those eerie energy arrows, Lin Yi did not dare to underestimate them; he channeled his power and swiftly retreated!
"Boom—"
Lin Yi released his longsword, causing it to explode. The dozens of black arrows were pushed aside by the explosion of the Crimson Energy Blade, allowing Lin Yi to evade their assault.
It was a long story, but everything happened in an instant. At this moment, Deman turned back, facing Lin Yi directly. However, he now appeared to have taken a few more steps toward becoming a devil, his face adorned with scarlet hues, high cheekbones protruding sharply, and his entire visage elongated, resembling the ghostly mask on his back.
"How about it? We're quite impressive together, huh? Hahaha..." Deman laughed maniacally, his voice grating like sandpaper, giving off an eerie sensation.
Lin Yi furrowed his brow; at this moment, he understood what Deman meant by enhancing his power and realized the source of his arrogance! Yet, despite this newfound combat strength, Lin Yi felt no fear whatsoever.
In the next moment, Lin Yi landed firmly on the ground. The dazzling array of colors around him converged towards his body. At that instant, familiar energy fluctuations resonated beneath his feet.
He was communicating with his own space. Having just received an energy boost, Lin Yi felt an inexplicable sense of ethereality. He knew that his strength was about to advance further. Opportunities to break through limitations were rare; even in the face of life and death, Lin Yi was determined not to let this chance for growth slip away easily.
"Tsk tsk, kid, this won't help you!" Sensing Lin Yi's increasingly powerful aura, Deman guessed what he intended to do. Without hesitation, he leaped forward at Lin Yi with great speed.
In the next moment, a scimitar that resembled a fang appeared in his hand. In the blink of an eye, dozens of such scimitars emerged. They formed a circular formation that completely enclosed Lin Yi.
At this point, Lin Yi was still immersed in experiencing his new realm and paid no attention to the incoming blades. A faint smile crept onto Deman's lips as he waved his hand; the dozens of scimitars spun like cutting machines and shot toward Lin Yi.
Suddenly, Lin Yi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them wide. An astonishing wave of energy radiated from his body. The intense force instantly scattered the scimitars!
Lin Yi chuckled softly as power surged through him like an erupting volcano.
