I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1777 - 1244: Everyone Wants to Go Hardcore
When Zheng Yichen was planning to quickly clear out the remaining Boundary Breakers, a large-scale Obliteration Strike suddenly erupted from the Boundary Breaking Organization Headquarters, destroying the projected Phenomenon.
It also inflicted significant damage on the Proxy Agents; some who couldn’t react in time died on the spot.
The Boundary Breakers, however, were ignored by the impact. Taking advantage of this gap, they were collectively summoned back to headquarters. Zheng Yichen tried to forcibly keep some behind, but with that giant hand’s interference, the number left was more than half fewer than he expected.
The war, which was expected to last for a long time, ended abruptly with Zheng Yichen’s large-scale clearing attack.
Julie, somewhat fatigued, approached Zheng Yichen, "You can’t do anything about that defense either?"
"Not for now."
"Then aren’t we waiting to die?" Julie raised an eyebrow slightly. Some Proxy Agents had been dismissive before, but after this battle, they all put away their arrogance.
Even the most rampant Proxy Agents recognized the gravity of the situation and were forced to become humble.
In less than half an hour of combat, there were over five thousand casualties, and the last wave of Obliteration Strikes claimed more lives than the Heaven-Slaying Weapon.
No matter how lethal the Heaven-Slaying Weapon may be, it had a clear attack trajectory, and one could dodge it quickly. But the impact was all-encompassing, and during its eruption, no protection worked well.
After the strike ended, the environment here became more hostile, filled with remnants of Oblivion. Proxy Agents in the area felt a notable discomfort.
If it weren’t for the Chaos Sea Crystals that Zheng Yichen had provided earlier, the casualties from that last wave would have been even higher.
"Not necessarily. The ideal outcome is waiting for the Boundary Breaking Organization to collapse." Zheng Yichen looked at their headquarters, feeling helpless against such a World defense.
Unless he could punch through an entire world, but that was just wishful thinking. Since he couldn’t directly obliterate the world, he pondered other methods to break through this defense.
Zheng Yichen shared the intelligence with other Proxy Agents. Whether they were still alive or just resurrected, upon receiving this information, they found it quite bothersome.
The Proxy Agents who hadn’t come yet immediately sought out the Dusk Nuns responsible for them, attempting to find a way to break that defense.
But no answers were forthcoming. The Dusk Nun wouldn’t conceal the facts, but some solutions were frustratingly elusive.
Dusk wouldn’t provide a strategy guide; while some indirect understanding was possible, it wasn’t useful at present.
The inquiring Proxy Agents learned that the defense couldn’t be broken, even if all involved in the Extermination Order combined forces; the only relevant information was that the defense wasn’t perfect and had limited coverage.
If it were perfect, would they be in deep trouble?
To reverse the defense covering them like a fishbowl would be catastrophic.
This news, while not causing despair among the Proxy Agents, certainly impacted their morale.
"Waiting for them to fail? Do we have that kind of time?"
Julie sighed again; she had already died twice in this battle. Being a Curse Master, breaking the World’s Will’s Blessing with a curse required strength, and the price of that strength was her life.
"I’m not sure." Zheng Yichen shook his head, gently nudging the space. The World’s Will imbalance in the Great World was worsening, and this enhanced imbalance strengthened the defense further.
In this area, Zheng Yichen couldn’t execute the Ultimate Heavenly Connection; the World’s Will’s intensity and density were too high, preventing any part of the Ultimate Heavenly Connection from fitting into the world’s framework.
In this region, Zheng Yichen could feel it was steadily transforming into the Dusk Territory.
The gaps between them might be vast, but the Boundary Breaking Organization had already broken through a zero.
This breakthrough had some of Zheng Yichen’s input.
According to his plan, he intended to use the ’virus’ created by Lilith and Chiang Wei; at the moment of severing the World’s Will and Heavenly Path System connection, he would use Disequilibrium to collapse the entire World’s Will.
By emulating Julie’s life-risking curse action, he was confident in causing a complete imbalance in the World’s Will.
Unfortunately, the enemy’s depths ran deeper, rendering plans less rapid than changes, as both sides had strategies.
A Proxy Agent joined the conversation, asking, "How long will that take?"
"Normally, it takes seventeen years." Zheng Yichen looked at a string of numbers in front of him, speaking somewhat helplessly; this was Lilith’s calculated time.
Ultimately, the Great World’s Will was exceedingly vast, and the imbalance’s detrimental effects, fatal to ordinary people, were currently insignificant to the Great World’s Will.
It was like a person transitioning from health to sub-health, and even in sub-health, they might not notice anything wrong with their body.
Until sub-health becomes a terminal illness, they wouldn’t be aware of their downfall later. From Zheng Yichen’s standpoint, the Boundary Breaking Organization’s control over the World’s Will benefited him greatly as it evolved in this manner.
After all, once illness surfaces, treatment follows. The Boundary Breaking Organization isn’t poor, and if they discover the problem early, they’ll surely find a way to address this threat.
Zheng Yichen doesn’t discount their potential solutions.
Therefore, it’s best to let developments continue below their notice, or provide him the opportunity for a direct outbreak.
"Seventeen years? That’s too long." The Proxy Agent who came here shook his head, staring contemplatively at the headquarters of the Boundary Breaking Organization, unable to break through that layer of protection. Based on the information provided by Zheng Yichen, he decided to take some drastic actions!
With that thought, a fierce look flashed in the eyes of the Proxy Agent. Zheng Yichen, as the main force, had performed undeniably well.
He faced the giant hand directly associated with the World’s Will head-on, slaughtered a large number of Boundary Breakers, and did everything he could.
Anyone who stepped forward to criticize his capabilities at this time not only looked down on these Proxy Agents but also on themselves standing up.
How useless must they be to stand up and blame Zheng Yichen at this time?
Does shirking responsibility work when keeping a clear head?
Utterly meaningless! Failing to complete the Extermination Order, successfully shirking responsibility wouldn’t change their incompetent fate.
While alive, shirking responsibility may make the person seem pure and noble, but at the moment of death, everyone is equal.
When death comes, no one will remember what they did here. No one notices the fighters, nor does anyone think those shirking responsibility are pure.
In the eyes of those still alive, they are all failures.
The Proxy Agent proposed, "Since there’s no way to break this protection for now, why don’t we try to improvise on our own?"
"I have no objections. I also need to try something else next," Zheng Yichen nodded. This isn’t something that can be solved just by gathering a group.
Even with everyone combined, it’s impossible to break the world’s defenses, at most affecting the world’s defenses somewhat, by causing more destruction to some great domains.
Even though the affected great domains aren’t visible, once influenced, the unlucky ones are the people living on these domains. Even if the Great World is vast and sparsely populated, extensive destruction of large domains would still lead to devastation.
Therefore, without ensuring a direct breakthrough of this protection layer, one should avoid excessive violent breakthrough attempts. Just because it’s fine here doesn’t mean it’s fine elsewhere.
"Tongyue, help me ask about the feasibility of using Ultimate Heavenly Connection to cover the Great World widely," Zheng Yichen contacted Tongyue through communication. This girl-next-door-like Proxy Agent had also died twice in battle.
Her fighting style was too rampageous, and under high-intensity burden, even the Undying Life Flame couldn’t maintain her physical form.
Pain transformed to the limit, causing her death not by enemy hands but by bodily self-destruction.
Now, as Tongyue died in battle and returned to soak in the Springs of the Dusk Territory, the Obliteration Strike from the Boundary Breaking Organization burst out, making her avoid this strike.
"Alright, I’ll ask." In the Dusk Territory, Tongyue immediately found her Dusk nun and, after inquiring, quickly replied to Zheng Yichen.
"No, Ultimate Heavenly Connection only cuts off the World’s Will’s interference with the current realm, and the World’s Will’s connection with the Great World is not interference but direct feedback."
Simply put, Ultimate Heavenly Connection is like putting an Elizabethan collar on cats and dogs—this way, they can’t lick their bodies, but it doesn’t mean they’ve lost their bodies.
When cats or dogs’ heads are attacked, their bodies will still react. When their souls are attacked, their physical response won’t be hindered by this separation.
Ultimate Heavenly Connection only limits; it doesn’t sever relationships between heaven and earth entirely—that would be amputation. Instead, it just blocks...
The news Tongyue brought wasn’t good, indicating that even if Zheng Yichen covered the entire Great World with Ultimate Heavenly Connection, leaving only the area affected by the Boundary Breaking Organization’s headquarters, it wouldn’t impact that protection at all.
Moreover, completing it could make the Boundary Breaking Organization’s structure more like the Dusk. They consolidate all technologies at their headquarters, deploying many Boundary Breakers to various worlds to perform breakworld.
Zheng Yichen might cut off their manpower supply, but internally they can produce their own. The Boundary Breaking Organization’s headquarters can influence multiple great domains at least, ensuring these areas remain stable and untouched by Zheng Yichen’s Ultimate Heavenly Connection.
In such a vast region, they can easily produce hundreds of billions of people. As long as the Boundary Breaking Organization is willing to invest, even a one percent selection rate yields millions of Boundary Breakers.
Not to mention, they can choose from people in the breakworld realms, and there will never be a shortage of traitors.
There are more people who betray because they worship strength.
So, conducting a comprehensive impact of Ultimate Heavenly Connection is meaningless, instead consuming a lot of Zheng Yichen’s energy and time.
"Is there really no way?" Tongyue asked uncomfortably, unable to accept a foreseeable outcome.
"At least we’re still alive, so there’s hope," Zheng Yichen exhaled softly. "If there’s truly no way, then we’ll take the extreme approach."
Since Ultimate Heavenly Connection doesn’t work, he’ll try to destroy the world’s framework. He touched the ground, feeling the Earth Devourer he hadn’t used for a long time stirring.
Yet when Zheng Yichen tried to draw it out, he encountered significant resistance.
The World’s Will resisted Zheng Yichen using the Earth Devourer, and this resistance came with a counterattack from obliteration force, making the use of the Earth Devourer inevitably swallow unwanted obliteration force.
Although the quality of his obliteration is higher, the amount of obliteration force generated by the Boundary Breaking Organization’s World’s Will is greater.
Without this part of the obliteration force, he could now devour the land indefinitely, and with the Infinite Space Gem’s power, it wouldn’t be impossible to forcibly dismantle the world’s framework.
If the world framework could be dismantled to a certain extent, bringing the Great World to the brink of damage, how much of the Boundary Breaking Organization’s protection could remain?
But this behavior of dismantling the table entirely isn’t like flipping the table and is too easily sanctioned by the Dusk...
