Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 81 - 80: God Among Men
Gobi Desert.
"Dong——!"
"Dong dong——!"
In the last five minutes, Dou Qingfeng and the others, who were looking up at the sky and quietly awaiting the fate of either God’s dice roll or the apocalypse, suddenly changed expressions.
The earth beneath their feet began to tremble without warning!
"Is it an earthquake?"
Dou Qingfeng was stunned for just a moment.
The next second.
He answered his own question:
"An earthquake, that makes sense."
"An extraterrestrial body passing by or even impacting Blue Star has a high probability of causing localized earthquakes and tsunamis..."
But.
Before Dou Qingfeng finished speaking,
Dong——!
The ground beneath their feet violently shook again.
This time, the tremor was even more intense than before.
Even though their minds were ’analyzing’, Dou Qingfeng and the others acted on instinct, subconsciously looking down at the ground beneath them.
And then...
They saw a scene they’d never forget for the rest of their lives!
"The earth..."
"It lit up?"
Dou Qingfeng’s face was full of confusion.
In his field of vision,
deep inside the earth, it was as if a blazing sun was buried!
No, not just a sun.
Vaguely,
Dou Qingfeng could also hear crackling thunder!
"It’s—it’s coming up!"
Behind Dou Qingfeng, intern Xiaoliu cried out hoarsely.
BOOM——!
Under the gaze of over a hundred shocked pairs of eyes,
The earth ’broke’ open.
And from that gap shot up... a human figure?
He had Light Wings on his back, like the sun, and like thunder.
He rushed forth, never looking back, as if launched like a rocket straight out from deep within the earth...
Straight up toward the Celestial Vault!
...
...
"Faster, need to be fast, need to be even faster!"
The cold night wind sliced across Yu Jin’s face.
He pressed his lips together, clenched his fists, and sprinted toward higher skies.
Oumuamua would not directly collide with Blue Star, but would pass by close—less than fifty kilometers from Earth’s orbit.
Because of that,
Yu Jin had to get close enough to ’purify’ Oumuamua, only then would it be possible.
Although the Purifying Light is essentially ’Light’, it doesn’t mean Yu Jin can use it to purify Oumuamua from dozens of kilometers away.
Even though, as Oumuamua approached, and with Yu Jin breaking through to Tier Nine, the previous ’suppression and restriction’ eased slightly, it still existed.
Maybe from the original 99% suppression, eased down to 98% suppression.
Relief, but not much.
So...
Yu Jin’s plan: charge directly into space, best to rush to Oumuamua’s face, and blast it at point-blank range with the Purifying Light!
Only in this way,
can purification efficiency be maximized.
Only in this way,
can Blue Star’s pollution disaster have a turning point!
The fifty-kilometer distance isn’t far for Yu Jin at Tier Nine, but with suppression and Blue Star’s gravity, it can’t be called close either.
"Light Wings!"
"Flash!"
"Flying Thunder God!"
Though every attribute Ability has a cooldown when used,
Yu Jin has enough attributes and his abilities are abundant.
So,
he can alternate among three different attribute abilities, smoothing out cooldown times, achieving the Effect that his speed not only doesn’t drop, but gets faster and faster!
Fifty kilometers, forty, thirty...
In Yu Jin’s vision, Oumuamua’s form grew ever clearer.
Oumuamua passed over Blue Star, perfectly positioned above Daxia; though not precisely above the Northwest, as Yu Jin raced further from the ground, this distance offset kept shrinking.
This suited Yu Jin’s plan for close-range purification of Oumuamua.
Time passed, second by second.
23:59.
One minute left until crossover.
Yu Jin had completely broken through Blue Star’s atmosphere, now in space.
He was now only five kilometers from Oumuamua.
Meanwhile,
At this moment,
Yu Jin saw with his own eyes—
Oumuamua, defying all laws of physics, split into one large and one small part.
The larger part shot past Blue Star, headed deeper into the Solar System.
The smaller part was covered in pitch-black, unknown material.
It was falling toward Blue Star’s atmosphere.
Moreover...
As it fell, the black material spread like ink, evenly seeping in all directions.
It would pollute not just the point of impact, but the entire Blue Star!
[Warning! Warning!]
[You are approaching ’Tier Ten Galaxy-level Pollution Source—Barrenness’!]
[This pollution source is extremely high tier, vast in scale, and supremely dangerous!]
[It is more than capable of polluting an entire planet!]
[As an ant, you cannot resist! Please evacuate quickly, evacuate quickly!]
The system prompt flashed before Yu Jin’s eyes.
Yu Jin just glanced at it, then looked away.
Tier Ten, Galaxy-level Pollution Source?
Today, never mind Tier Ten—even Tier Twenty, Thirty, or even One Hundred...
Yu Jin will blast it hard regardless!
"Purifying Light!"
Yu Jin did not use ’Unity’ yet.
He had to test first, to see if ’Purifying Light’ could cleanse this kind of pollution.
[You, with the body of a mere ant, are purifying across tiers: ’Tier Ten Galaxy-level Pollution Source—Barrenness’!]
[Such a feat, unprecedented and unmatched, echoes across the Wasteland Star System!]
[Current purification progress: 0.0001%]
"If it can purify, then do it!"
Yu Jin ignored the ’0.0001%’ minuscule progress.
"Unity!"
He activated the ’Unity’ Ability he’d purchased from the shop.
[Ability: Unity (Level 1)]
[Effect: All methods converge, gathers all your Attribute Energy and infuses it into a specific ability, greatly amplifying the Ability’s Effect!]
After activating, Yu Jin discovered...
He could choose which Attribute Energy to gather.
"All in!"
Yu Jin didn’t hesitate for a second.
And just as he made his choice—
Whoosh——!
The Light Wings behind Yu Jin vanished into thin air.
The Light Attribute Energy was drained in an instant.
Bzz——!
The thunder and lightning around Yu Jin were annihilated.
The Thunder Attribute Energy followed right after.
Buzz——!
The Spatial Attribute Energy supporting Yu Jin as he hovered now disappeared too.
After that,
Metal, Multiplication...
Yu Jin’s aura visibly wilted.
Right now, he had poured all Attribute Energy into ’Purifying Light’!
"Come——!"
Yu Jin thrust out his hands.
BOOM——!
From both palms, a radiant light beam erupted, so dazzling it almost lit up Blue Star—a beam thousands of meters in diameter, blazed forth, engulfing Oumuamua’s splitting fragment in an instant!
At the same time,
Yu Jin’s body, driven by the light beam, hurtled at extreme speed toward Blue Star’s earth!
[You, with the body of a mere ant, are purifying across tiers: ’Tier Ten Galaxy-level Pollution Source—Barrenness’!]
[Such a feat, unprecedented and unmatched, echoes across the Wasteland Star System!]
[Current purification progress: 1%... 2%... 3%...]
Above Blue Star,
The blazing lightbeam illuminated the entire Northern Hemisphere’s night sky!
Countless humans, silently counting down, awaiting fate’s Judgment, looked up in shock.
They saw...
Black ink and white light crossed in the sky!
No one knew what was happening.
No one could see clearly...
That the source of the thousand-meter-wide beam was a thin figure plunging headlong, upside down!
Only...
Northwest Base.
Dou Qingfeng and the others, staring at the sky, were already slumped to the ground—who knew at what point.
These were scholars and experts who had studied science for decades, absolute believers in materialism.
But right now.
The only phrase echoing in their minds—
"A god among men!"
