Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 437 Adventure (Subscription Requested)

Rust, disintegration, vanishing, and finally merging with the black particles scattered in the sky. In less than thirty seconds after coming into contact with the black fog particles released by the mechanical beast and Raphael, it reached such an end. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The terrifying corrosion effect made Pei Yan’s face begin to look distressed. This was reminiscent of the strange rusting magic he encountered in the town, but the effects were incomparable. Strangely, these black particles were completely unaffected by attacks. Whether it was extremely low-temperature liquid nitrogen, blazing methane combustion, or electromagnetic cannon bombardment, they could only slow down the expansion of the black fog, but not entirely eliminate it.

Such a baffling attack, beyond common sense, was the situation Pei Yan least wanted to face. After collecting the existing attack data on Raphael, as he was contemplating whether to hide in the photo space to avoid the situation, Lin Junzhao’s excited voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Charge up! Quickly charge up and take him down!"

"Are you insane? Can’t you see the effect of that black fog?" Pei Yan was initially stunned by the voice and then responded angrily.

"This isn’t his power. It seems the Hell Plane really suffered a severe blow. That old bastard’s true body has disintegrated to this extent, don’t you understand? This is the power of Origin Fragments! And it’s power containing the Origin Law of this world’s Origin! I don’t know how this Raphael got such precious fragments, but he’s too weak. Too weak to unleash even a tenth of the fragment’s power. He can only forcibly activate it at the cost of his own life, aiming to perish together." Lin Junzhao’s excited voice buzzed in Pei Yan’s mind.

Hearing her so excitedly speaking, Pei Yan felt there was no reason for her to fake it, she had no need to deceive herself. For Lin Junzhao to lose her composure like this, it was clear that what Raphael had within him was truly tempting. Thinking of this, Pei Yan’s previously waning fighting spirit surged anew, looking at Raphael in the black fog with greedy eyes. However, he was no longer a rookie in the battle, having calmly weighed the pros and cons, he responded in a deep voice, "But this power is too strange. Won’t I be affected if I go in? Since you said he’s using his life to activate it, why don’t we wait until his life is exhausted and then go in to collect the fragment?"

"No, no, no, by then the fragment’s law would have been mostly released by him, and the effect would be greatly reduced once you devour it. Don’t worry, with me here, you’ve already experienced this kind of power before. Plus, with my presence in your body combined with the corresponding power from the Spirit Monster Plane, you won’t be immediately consumed by death when you go in. But you have to be fast, find the fragment’s location at the fastest speed, seize it, and you will succeed! This is a gamble with your life at stake. If you win, everyone’s happy, but if you lose, hehe, the choice is yours."

As she spoke, Lin Junzhao’s voice once again turned teasing, and in the end, she kicked the ball of decision back to Pei Yan’s feet.

The experience of death, Pei Yan closed his eyes and quickly reminisced the sensation when he once devoured four fragments. He soon opened his eyes suddenly, a smile curling at his lips as he said, "I’ll gamble, my luck in gambling has always been good." With determination set, he no longer hesitated, his entire body turned into a stream of light disappearing from the spot.

"Hehehehe, I don’t know if you’re brave or foolish! You’re actually daring to rush into my control range alone. Very well! Very well, let’s burn our lives together and sacrifice to the Demon God!" In the black fog, a violent wind arose, and Raphael’s spiteful laughter came from all around, making it hard to pinpoint his true location.

Ever since entering the raging wind, Pei Yan lost the ability to fly, enduring the black fog particles like hail hitting his mechanical body. Not only did this prevent his back engine from activating, but it also made every step he took exceedingly difficult.

These black particles, seemingly no different from grains of sand, held destructive power far beyond their appearance. Each particle collision left a shallow rusty dent on the mechanical body surface, which absorbed the highest level of alloy technology in reality. In no time, Pei Yan’s body surface was like a pockmarked wasteland swept by a metal storm, marred with rust and looking dilapidated.

But as Lin Junzhao said, he did not, like the two mechanical beasts, rapidly disintegrate into ashes. Upon contact with the black sand, hidden energy within him activated, rapidly repairing his corroded surface. Just like that, Pei Yan in the black fog flickered like a candlelight, alternating between the metallic luster of repair and the dullness of rust over and over.

"What, what, what kind of monster are you? How can you resist the Demon God’s power! This isn’t possible, you aren’t a transcender from the Keystone Plane! Who on earth are you?" Struggling to walk steadily in the storm center, Pei Yan, not consumed for a long time, once again overturned Raphael’s perception. In his resentful and puzzled roars, the vapor particles around Pei Yan began to multiply. Raphael had given up on dragging everyone down to perish together, retracted the power aimed at Sifuer and others, focusing everything on Pei Yan. He was determined that even in death, he would drag along the bastard who ruined his life’s work.

"Though I should tell you to keep calm and don’t panic, I can’t help but remind you to quickly find the fragment’s true body location. Your mechanical body is about to give out, and if the time comes, don’t count on me to save you or die with you. Remember what Gu Shenghui said? If it’s really threatening my own safety, I would unhesitatingly abandon you." The teasing voice of Lin Junzhao echoed in his mind once again, inappropriately.

Totally ignoring her interference, Pei Yan, who had been struggling to move forward, stopped as if he gave up resisting. Ignoring the pain and changes of his body, he closed his eyes, relaxing his whole body, and gently released his power.

In the black wind sand, all of his high-tech detection methods became useless. Now, he could only rely on his feeling when he devoured the Hell Plane fragments before, trying to release the same origin in this black fog to patiently explore and carefully feel.

Time flew by with every passing second. Though Pei Yan had been in the black storm for less than five minutes, whether it was him at the center or Raphael and Sifuer Bailang, who were watching outside gasping, they all felt as if time was infinitely stretched, each person’s heart was deeply tormented.

Pei Yan’s body surface no longer flickered with a metallic sheen constantly. The vapor particles laden with death energy corroded his body increasingly, while his resistance weakened. Hidden in the black fog, Raphael, seeing his impending revenge finally at hand, showed a slight cold smile of relief beneath his weary face.
