TYMIMA Chapter 107

“What’s wrong?” Lance temporarily set aside the Outer God and hurriedly supported the iron door, asking Zhan Pingchuan.

 

Zhan Pingchuan had exposed his identity shortly after entering the underground city—he must have encountered an extremely urgent situation.

 

However, the only response he got was rapid breathing, because the messenger and Li Bang had already launched an attack.

 

Zhan Pingchuan rolled on the ground to dodge the ink sprayed by the glass squid. The ink spilled on the ground, instantly dissolving the jelly-like mutant beast.

 

“Kill him! He’s from High Tower Guild! They really have sinister intentions!” Li Bang roared viciously.

 

Before Zhan Pingchuan could catch his breath, the gun barrels of about ten guards aimed at him. Rare lead ore bullets rained down like a storm. Zhan Pingchuan’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly used silver threads to cut off a piece of rock to block in front of him.

 

Bullets all hit the rocks, kicking up clouds of dust.

 

If he had been hit by these bullets, even if his mother were present, he would have had no chance of survival, because rare lead ore can nullify all abilities.

 

Zhan Pingchuan was still shaken, and the next second, the rocks behind him had somehow turned into boiling molten iron, splashing towards him.

 

He sensed the heat behind him and had no time to turn around, hurriedly summoning a barrier to block behind him. A sizzling sound was heard as the molten iron solidified on the transparent barrier. His insides churned, and he spat a mouthful of blood.

 

Although the barrier could block attacks for him, it still had limits. Once the damage exceeded the limit, it would backfire on the user.

 

It was obvious that the mysterious person in the white robe had very strong attack attributes.

 

Actually, if it weren’t for a critical moment, Zhan Pingchuan wouldn’t have exposed himself. The advanced rare lead ore weapons held by those people were already troublesome enough, not to mention there were two S-levels.

 

He knew he had almost no chance of winning unless he also slipped into the spatial rift to escape on the spot.

 

But first, he wasn’t confident he could come back, so he didn’t dare to enter. Second, Lance was still outside. If they used that machine gun to kill the S+ mutant beast and came out of this door, Lance would be in danger.

 

“Zhan Pingchuan, Zhan Pingchuan! Answer me!” Lance angrily pounded on the iron door outside, urgently calling.

 

Zhan Pingchuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said casually, “There’s an S+ mutant beast here, and it’s a pair with the king. They want to kill it. Baby, you go back and tell Adrian. I’ll fight for a while.”

 

After saying this, he quickly hung up.

 

Zhan Pingchuan briefly and quickly explained the situation here, trying to appear calm and leisurely, hoping Lance would leave as soon as possible.

 

But he didn’t know if Lance would obey because he no longer had the energy to think.

 

Li Bang disappeared.

 

He couldn’t detect Li Bang’s presence, not even distinguish footsteps, because the black speaker was still tirelessly playing the king’s painful cries. The S+ mutant beast was disturbed by the sound and was anxiously destroying the corridor, completely covering Li Bang’s footsteps.

 

This meant that for Li Bang, Zhan Pingchuan could only counterattack when Li Bang attacked. He had to summon a barrier again to cover himself.

 

Sure enough, the barrier above his head was immediately attacked. He quickly summoned silver threads to entangle Li Bang, but Li Bang was prepared and ran away as soon as he appeared.

 

The heat wave above was ominous. Zhan Pingchuan looked carefully and saw the stalactites had also turned into scorching molten iron, pouring down.

 

He quickly dodged and escaped from the spot. However, once he left the cover of the rocks, rare lead ore bullets shot at him again.

 

One bullet inevitably penetrated the barrier and pierced his shoulder.

 

He only felt a chill in his shoulder, then warm liquid flowed out, quickly soaking his clothes. The piercing pain stimulated his cerebral cortex. He pressed hard on the wound and had to retreat behind the rocks, letting the barrier touch the still-wet molten iron.

 

Fortunately, this bullet was a through-and-through wound. Otherwise, if rare lead ore remained in his body, he definitely wouldn’t be able to use any abilities now and would become a sitting duck.

 

However, the current situation wasn’t much better. The bullet shattered his bones and affected his nerves, causing his right arm to go numb due to poor blood flow.

 

He calmly observed the situation. If he stayed in the small enclosed space, he would eventually be worn down by continuous attacks. The only way out was to charge into the crowd, making the guards hesitate to shoot for fear of hitting their own, and then take the opportunity to eliminate the minions.

 

As long as there was no rare lead ore attack, he could focus on dealing with the two S-levels, which would be much easier.

 

With that thought, Zhan Pingchuan pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, exerted great effort to lift the rock, blocking bullets, and charged towards the crowd.

 

Molten iron continued to pour onto the all-around protective barrier. Zhan Pingchuan’s mouth was full of the taste of blood, and his vision darkened in waves.

 

Fortunately, within seconds, he really reached the white robe.

 

Li Bang appeared and shouted, “Messenger, be careful, this guy can open black holes!”

 

Sure enough, Zhan Pingchuan summoned a barrier and fiercely collided with the white robe, and a black rift had already torn open behind him.

 

【Void Realm】 has one drawback: it is fixed and cannot actively attack, only waiting for people to fall in.

 

Unexpectedly, the messenger let out a low cold laugh from his throat, and a resentful glow shot from his dark blue-black eyes. He actually raised his palm to meet Zhan Pingchuan’s barrier.

 

The pale blue barrier fluctuated violently, lasting for several seconds, and actually melted like water.

 

Elemental system S-level second-tier ability 【Matter Alteration】!

 

Zhan Pingchuan’s adrenaline surged. He dodged the white robe’s glowing palm by the side and quickly changed to another barrier in front of him.

 

Normally, his barrier wouldn’t be broken so easily, but the pain in his shoulder prevented him from concentrating fully on the fight. His ability pheromone levels were fluctuating irregularly.

 

“Shoot at him! Don’t stop! Kill him!”

 

Li Bang dodged behind the guards and shouted orders.

 

He didn’t care about the guards’ lives. Even if they were accidentally killed by rare lead ore, they deserved it. But he definitely wanted Zhan Pingchuan’s life!

 

There was only one Thornfish Cutting Net, said to be personally designed by the Federation Senate elders. Selarl had asked to borrow it several times but failed. This time, they finally borrowed it. They were about to succeed in killing the monster, but this guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, ruining everyone’s efforts.

 

Li Bang gritted his teeth in hatred, snatched a guard’s gun, and frantically sprayed bullets at Zhan Pingchuan.

 

Blood had already flowed to his lower abdomen. Zhan Pingchuan felt the clothes there stick coldly to his skin, but he didn’t even have time to glance. Rare lead ore bullets chased his footsteps closely, skimming the ground. He had to use silver threads to suspend himself, watching bullets brush past his legs.

 

Just after the bullets swept past, Zhan Pingchuan risked jumping down and quickly moved behind a guard. He reached out his left hand and, before the guard could shout, cleanly twisted the guard’s neck.

 

He used the guard’s body to block several bullets. The silver threads quickly attacked other guards.

 

Several guards screamed and dodged, but some were too slow, getting their necks pierced by silver threads, bleeding profusely, and falling on their backs.

 

Zhan Pingchuan tied them all up with silver threads as his human shield. He hid behind the shield and quickly retreated.

 

Just as his vision darkened from excessive blood loss and he wanted to catch his breath, he suddenly felt emptiness behind him and a bad premonition rushed to his head.

 

The machine gun that fired the large net was made of rare lead ore at the front, so it was immune to all abilities.

 

It pierced straight through the barrier and violently smashed into Zhan Pingchuan’s spine!

 

Zhan Pingchuan only felt intense pain in his back, his whole body went cold, and his joints cracked.

 

He turned his head in disbelief and saw another white robe behind him.

 

Damn!

 

Zhan Pingchuan cursed from the bottom of his heart. This guy could even create clones!

 

The white robe’s cold smile was close at hand, but Zhan Pingchuan couldn’t hold on and slid down weakly.

 

He dared not imagine the damage to his spine. At this moment, only one belief supported him: he could not die.

 

If he died, these people would go after Lance.

 

Several rare lead ore gun barrels aimed at him. The white robe’s arms surged with ability, turning from rock into molten iron and pouring over him!

 

Zhan Pingchuan used his last bit of strength to pull himself to the side of the S+ mutant beast with silver threads.

 

Mutant beasts were enemies of humans. They often killed humans who intruded into their territory indiscriminately, especially when accompanied by an S+ mutant beast.

 

Zhan Pingchuan had once been tortured by an S+ mutant beast in an illusion to the point of doubting life.

 

But at this moment, he had no choice but to pray that this mutant beast could calm down from the anxious cries of its lover and pay him some attention.

 

“Hey buddy, your wife is fine, but I’m probably about to die. For supporting your interspecies love with my actions, can you take them all out?”

 

Having finally said this, blood flowed again from the corner of Zhan Pingchuan’s mouth.

 

His right arm had completely lost sensation, and his body trembled involuntarily from the immense exhaustion.

 

He had used his abilities multiple times in a short period, but the barrier was repeatedly backfiring on him. He felt as if his internal organs were about to be torn apart, and he had no strength left to accelerate the healing of his wounds.

 

This was not a good sign; he felt increasingly cold.

 

The muzzle of the rare lead ore gun aimed at him again. Bang! A bullet tore through the air, and he was already struggling to see clearly.

 

Bang bang bang!

 

Bullets struck the hard purple-black scales; some bullets fell off, while others shattered the scales and pierced the flesh.

 

The long tail tip tensed from the pain but still firmly shielded Zhan Pingchuan.

 

Although Ryan could not see, it recognized the voice. It heard the words, “Such dirty tactics, bullying someone who can’t see.”

 

It did not understand what dirty tactics meant, nor whether this was a new enemy scheme today, but it could sense that this person was near death, so it protected this dying life.

 

“Stop…” it growled softly, sweeping its long tail forward, but the speed was not fast.

 

The white robe and Li Bang’s faces changed drastically, hastily retreating.

 

“Don’t panic! It’s blind, everyone hide your footsteps!” Li Bang shouted.

 

The white robe quickly retracted his clone and stopped, holding his breath.

 

They were not using the Thornfish Cutting Net; being in the same room with the mutant beast was like walking a tightrope over a cliff.

 

However, Ryan was cautious and did not attack rashly. Sandro’s voice echoed among the crowd, though likely a ruse, it dared not gamble.

 

Both sides were at a stalemate, and the corridor fell into an eerie silence.

 

Outside the iron door, Lance clenched the crystal ore tightly, the irregular stones pressing into his palm, leaving deep red marks.

 

From the moment Zhan Pingchuan hung up the phone, he sensed something was wrong.

 

Although Zhan Pingchuan’s tone was casual and carefree, Lance analyzed from that tone that Zhan Pingchuan was telling him to flee.

 

How could he abandon his little wolf cub and run away?

 

But inside, there were many enemies, armed to the teeth, and an S+ mutant beast. To avoid becoming a burden to Zhan Pingchuan and not to die in vain, he could only rely on the power of the Outer God.

 

He knew well that the Outer God had always wanted to occupy this body and descend to the human world through this channel.

 

Lance’s heartbeat quickened, the oxygen in the bubble rapidly consumed. He felt as if his throat was being strangled, nearly suffocating.

 

“Vi ne havas elekton…” (You have no choice)

 

From the Outer God’s low, ethereal voice, Lance heard its desire and evil. Indeed, as it said, he had no choice.

 

He had to save his lover.

 

Lance allowed its appearance. His amber pupils gradually emitted light, his hair color gradually faded, turning silver and flowing down. Two thin, sharp bone wings pierced through his clothes, growing from his shoulder blades. A strange blood-red totem crawled up his fair neck.

 

He gently exerted force with his palm, and the crystal ore in his palm shattered into powder. He no longer needed such an item to open that door. At this moment, the heavy iron door was as fragile as sandpaper, easily torn apart by him.

 

The seal shattered, and no power could stop the mutant beast from crossing this door into the human world.

 

It never told Lance that breaking the seal from the human side was the only way to connect to the underground city.

 

Its evil bred and spread in the fresh world. It stepped over the seawater and walked into the corridor.

 

Li Bang and others heard the sound behind them and suddenly turned around, inexplicably feeling a chill.

 

Lance was familiar to them. This beautiful red-haired Omega and the fallen one had once been lost in the Spirit Realm system.

 

However, the person in front was Lance, yet also not Lance. Li Bang did not understand. He was clearly still standing here safely, and there was a terrifying S+ mutant beast behind him, but why did he feel an indescribable fear facing Lance alone?

 

The white robe was sweating cold sweat, his pupils trembling like boiling water. He struggled to drag his two uncooperative legs, trying to retreat.

 

He could not believe his eyes.

 

Why… why was there still…

 

“Damn it, reinforcements have arrived! Kill him!” The confused guards raised their rare lead ore weapons and frantically sprayed at ‘Lance.’

 

However, ‘Lance’ just tilted his head, and the bullets vanished into thin air.

 

Perhaps not vanished, but transformed into black mist, merging into its body and returning to chaos.

 

The so-called rare lead ore that suppresses abilities was actually the black hole power they captured from the universe. When abilities touched the rare lead ore, they were absorbed into the black hole through a medium.

 

And these insignificant abilities were fragments lost in the long and eternal chaos.

 

The next second, the shooting guard turned into a cloud of blood, scattering on the brown stone wall.

 

The guards exploded one by one like fireworks, blood and flesh quickly covering the entire corridor.

 

“What is… what the hell is this!” Li Bang’s jaw trembled as he hurriedly concealed his form.

 

However, his abilities were utterly useless in the eyes of the Outer God. Before Li Bang could run a few steps, he heard crackling sounds by his ear.

 

Then, he heard nothing.

 

His skull was shattered, blood gushing from the broken opening. His invisibility ability disappeared, and a headless corpse fell limply to the ground.

 

The white robe already knew he had no chance of survival. He suddenly pressed the deep red button representing extreme danger on the lead cloud internal communicator, then activated his ability, turning a massive amount of rock into rushing molten iron, attacking the Outer God.

 

He himself split into more than ten clones, dispersing and fleeing into the green sea outside the corridor.

 

‘Lance’ looked at the scorching molten iron, only slightly closed his eyes. The molten iron instantly cooled and fell to the ground, while the more than ten white robes seemed to be strangled by invisible ropes.

 

More than ten white robes struggled desperately, screaming in despair, but eventually all fell silent, becoming lifeless corpses.

 

The white robes suddenly fell to the ground, their bodies already deformed.

 

Having dealt with the troublesome humans, It finally walked toward Ryan.

 

Ryan smelled the strong scent of blood but could not know Sandro’s safety. Even though it clearly sensed the approaching power was very strong, it roared angrily and swept its tail fin.

 

But ‘Lance’ easily grabbed its tail, raised his hand, and slammed it hard against the rock wall.

 

Dust rose, stones flew, and the rock wall was smashed into a huge hole. Ryan gasped and climbed up, four scales crushed and broken, revealing bloodied flesh.

 

“Canglong, vi estis kreita de li, Li detruis mian monton…” (Sea dragon, you were created by Him, He destroyed my mount)

 

“Mi donas al vi okulojn, por levi vian ekzilon, vi estas mia monto…” (I give you eyes to lift your exile, you are my mount…)

 

As soon as the words fell, the pale yellow membrane on Ryan’s eyes disappeared. Its golden gaze was cold and stern. It looked at ‘Lance’ and recognized the language as that of the gods.

 

But it did not respond. It was not a mindless beast for mere control. Since it bit its creator and accidentally swallowed part of Him, it had gained intelligence and emotions.

 

He had given it the chance to give up emotions and thoughts, but it refused and was blinded and exiled here.

 

Now it still would not give up these hard-won abilities. Emotions made it different, earned Sandro’s love, and let it sink in love.

 

It could accept exile and even death, but it could not accept no longer loving Sandro.

 

The Outer God did not receive an immediate reply and began to think of destruction. However, it seemed to remember something and did not act immediately.

 

It suddenly returned to the Spirit Realm system and said to Lance: “Vi vidas la malbelajn verkojn…” (You see the ugly works…)

 

“Kompare kun mi ne meritas mencii…” (Compared to me, they are not worth mentioning…)

 

“Vi vidis, oran malfacilan homan vizagon…” (You have seen, the handsome golden poison human-faced owl…)

 

Lance only gritted his teeth and spat out two words: “Go back.”

 

“Ne, mi volas mari in al la tero…” (No, I will step on it to descend to the human world)

 

With that, the Outer God reached out to strangle Ryan’s throat, dragging it outside the corridor. Ryan’s bloodied tail scraped against the rubble, leaving burning blood traces.

 

Before leaving, the Outer God glanced at Zhan Pingchuan, who had fainted from blood loss.

 

Already near death, there was no need for Him to act.

 

However, just as He turned his head back, he found himself unable to move his feet.

 

Tears flowed from the weak channel’s eyes, blurring His vision.

 

An indescribable sadness like cold mist enveloped the entire Spirit Realm system. Even a deity could not help but be troubled by such intense emotions.

 

In the past, when Lance threatened Him to go back, it was always fierce, confrontational, in a tragic manner of mutual destruction.

 

He thought today would be the same. He had even thought of ways to punish him.

 

But to His surprise, when Lance saw that dying person, he fell into extreme emotional pain.

 

This emotion made the Outer God even more irritated. He could not tolerate His channel remaining fragile. He could even imagine that the channel would eventually die of heartbreak.

 

This threat was worse than fierce mutual destruction!

 

“Kial vi estas maloja” (Why are you sad)

 

“Lia spirita sistemo trafis forte kaj ne povis rompi sian vivon…” (His Spirit Realm system was severely damaged and can never break through in his lifetime)

 

“Vi ne devus esti maloja pro li…” (You should not grieve for him)

 

However, Lance still gazed sadly at Zhan Pingchuan, tears soaking his eyes, distorting even that light into blur.

 

He wanted to go over, hold him tight, save him. This desire was so strong it pierced through chaos and dispelled darkness.

 

The Outer God fell into long silence. He could not understand this emotion. To Him, this was too insignificant and trivial a entanglement.

 

But He understood that if this person died, His channel would also be greatly affected.

 

This was truly a flawed, fragile, complex, verbose, troublesome, unreasonable channel, but He only had one channel.

 

“Vi devas danki mian donacon, dedii mian vivon al mi…” (You must be grateful for my gift, willingly dedicate your life to me)

 

With that, the Outer God’s finger traced over the strange totem on his neck, then extended his hand, hovering above Zhan Pingchuan’s body.

 

A drop of light as red as the totem fell like a water droplet into Zhan Pingchuan’s body, surging with a thunderous wave, completely breaking the genetic lock that spatial system Awakened ones could never shake.
