Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 713: Deng Shentong’s Final Words
Chapter 713: Deng Shentong’s Final Words
Deng Shentong killed Fujimiya Jin again and again.
But Fujimiya Jin stood back up every single time.
Deng Shentong’s voice came through the video, reaching the ears of the three who were watching.
“This guy… where the hell is his weakness?”
“Is he really immortal?”
“No! That’s impossible. There’s no such thing as an indestructible carbon-based lifeform in this world. There must be something I’ve overlooked!”
…
“But… am I really going to lose?”
“No, something’s off. I shouldn’t be losing—how could I possibly lose?”
“His ability is freakish, yes, but I’m stronger than he is!”
“If I’m really about to lose, then something must be wrong.”
“Ah! That’s it. I get it now. I understand everything!”
“There’s a traitor inside Blizzard City. Someone leaked my abilities!”
The moment Zhang Ye heard Deng Shentong say those words, his grip on the cup tightened instinctively.
His sword-like brows furrowed. That lingering doubt in his mind was now magnified.
There really was a mole inside Blizzard City?
Yang Xinxin stared at the screen with a distant look in her eyes, her expression oddly calm.
But Zhang Ye knew—her mind was racing too.
Baili Changqing’s face didn’t change. Clearly, he had seen this footage before.
Zhang Ye thought to himself: That must mean the higher-ups in Blizzard City have all seen it already.
Zhu Zheng saw it. Deng Yuanbo saw it.
They all suspect there’s a traitor in Blizzard City.
Was that why they were so eager to recommend me as the Tengu Squad’s captain?
Could it be… they’re using me as bait to lure out the traitor?
No—I can’t trust anyone too easily.
Not even Zhu Zheng.
Zhang Ye was like a blind man in a storm. As an outsider, he had no idea what was going on behind the scenes.
He knew nothing about the power struggles among the factions in Blizzard City.
So he couldn’t make any reckless judgments about this.
But what he could do was avoid getting dragged into it.
He quickly pulled his thoughts back and continued watching the footage.
In the video, Deng Shentong was clearly at his limit. He was about to collapse.
Facing an enemy who could come back from the dead, he had no solution.
But Fujimiya Jin seemed to know his every move—his powers, his attacks—it was like he’d studied them all in advance.
In the end, Deng Shentong lost the strength to stay on his feet and fell among the ruins.
His weak voice came through.
“Listen… I… cough cough… I know what his ability is.”
“He can… see the future—see how I’m going to attack. Remember this, be careful about it.”
“You have to… counter him with causality.”
In the footage, a giant flaming fist came crashing down on his face.
“Let Zhang Ye…”
Deng Shentong’s final three words.
Then the entire screen was engulfed in a blinding white light.
Everyone knew what that meant: a captain-level operative had activated a self-destruct bomb.
That was the end of Deng Shentong’s video.
Zhang Ye folded his arms and lowered his head in deep thought.
The information left in Deng Shentong’s final recording was overwhelming.
Fujimiya Jin could see into Deng Shentong’s future?
That ability, combined with immortality, was utterly hopeless to deal with.
And that last phrase—“Let Zhang Ye…”
Just three incomplete words, but they thrust Zhang Ye directly into the spotlight of Blizzard City’s top brass.
“Causality…”
Zhang Ye understood what that meant.
If he wasn’t mistaken, he carried a very powerful causal force within himself.
One that could potentially reverse the cycle of reincarnation.
He’d once believed his ability to come back from the dead was due to some kind of special awakened power.
He just hadn’t figured out what it was yet.
“Maybe I should go ask the Deng Corporation for help someday?”
Zhang Ye felt the urge.
At that moment, Baili Changqing’s voice rang out beside him.
“Now that you’ve seen it, what did you take away from it?”
Zhang Ye turned to him with a faint smile. “A lot. I didn’t expect the enemy to be that troublesome.”
Baili Changqing said, “But Deng Shentong said you could beat him in the end.”
“He didn’t finish the sentence. Don’t jump to conclusions.”
Baili Changqing grinned. “Five members of Shiyue have died so far. All five were taken out by you.”
“And now it’s basically confirmed—the enemy has someone who can predict the future. But you influence causality. That means you’re their natural counter.”
Zhang Ye replied, “But that alone isn’t enough. How do you beat someone you can’t kill?”
Baili Changqing asked, “Can you trap him in your spatial ability? Seal him off that way?”
Zhang Ye said, “The spatial domain doesn’t work on living things. It operates by using [Thought]. I can only control inanimate objects with it.”
“For a living person, unless they willingly enter the spatial domain, I can’t force them in.”
Baili Changqing slapped his thigh. “Easy! Just break him into pieces and then toss him in. Problem solved!”
Zhang Ye shot him a deep look.
“Did you really just say that out loud?”
“You think I’m Deng Shentong or something?”
Deng Shentong could kill Fujimiya Jin dozens of times because his offensive power was off the charts.
But Zhang Ye specialized in defense.
Even killing Fujimiya Jin once would be a challenge.
Let alone the fact that his future-seeing ability might also work on Zhang Ye—there was no guarantee it wouldn’t.
As the two discussed, Yang Xinxin suddenly spoke up with a thought-provoking idea.
“I remember… when Deng Shentong fought Fujimiya Jin, the shrine maiden Takeuchi Mayumi was also present.”
Zhang Ye and Baili Changqing looked at her.
“Right, and? Are you saying she had an impact on the battle?”
Yang Xinxin bit her soft pink fingertip.
“Fujimiya Jin’s abilities are Trait-type—immortality, fire, enhanced physique. Based on what we know of supernatural powers, he shouldn’t be able to wield time-based abilities as well.”
“So I suspect… this ability was granted to him by Takeuchi Mayumi.”
“In other words—if we eliminate her first, we can cut Fujimiya Jin’s combat effectiveness by at least thirty percent!”
That suggestion sparked something in Zhang Ye’s mind. freёnovelkiss.com
“It is a highly probable theory.”
The three of them continued discussing. They’d gotten quite a bit of intel from Deng Shentong’s recording.
Baili Changqing smiled and said, “Honestly, you don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself.”
“Your main job in this mission is to block Shiyue’s shrine maiden from predicting the future.”
“As for Fujimiya Jin… there’s someone more suitable for that.”
Zhang Ye’s gaze sharpened. “You mean… Gao Changkong?”
Baili Changqing answered without hesitation.
“Gao Changkong’s ability is actually well-suited to countering Fujimiya Jin. Of course, I can’t tell you exactly what it is yet.”
“But if I’m right, he will be the lead on this mission. And you’ll be more like his support—just like before.”
