Chapter 1548: Chapter 734: Old Friends Fall One After Another_5
Countless arms climbed onto the ship’s deck, and immediately after, a terrifying black shadow emerged fiercely from the mist!
It had a twisted and blasphemous form of evil, its outline resembling a whale or an octopus, but its surface was covered with countless writhing humanoid faces and pale limbs—
"The ’Funeral Sacrifice’...?!" The Second Generation Principal gritted their teeth. The ’Funeral Sacrifice’ blocked him from awakening the Security Guard, clearly intending to overturn the entire ship.
The Second Generation Principal was not afraid of the ’Funeral Sacrifice’. If it were one-on-one, he had ways to deal with it, but now he was tied to the fate of the ship’s Security Guard, and some efficient methods simply couldn’t be used.
It seems that to deal with it this time, a painful price must be paid... With this thought, the Second Generation Principal’s face instantly became ugly.
...
In the Gray Mist Sea, very close to the boundary of the ’Returning Ruins’, the Layer Boat silently appeared.
At this moment, the Layer Boat had lost its deck and sides, leaving only the keel, masts, and core cabin areas, but this had no impact on its navigation.
Its current form was like a puzzle module placed on a spider web woven by light, where each module only needed to maintain its connection to the core to have a massive effect, overall resembling a gigantic Secret Pattern Matrix.
And among the remaining parts of the Layer Boat, the leaders were only Lin Yi and the others.
This was both an inevitable fact and an unavoidable truth. As the layers continued to deepen, the followers found it increasingly difficult to keep up with their pace.
Around the Layer Boat, the Order-Keeping Ring slowly rotated, and the Star Map gradually unfolded.
But before anyone had much of a chance to breathe, cracks floated once again above the space, followed by one Big eyeball after another emerging from the fissures, peering down at the world like strings of bubbles...
"Angel!!" The Astrologer shouted, "It has caught up with us again, no! It’s not that it caught up, but we have met!!"
"The path to the ’Root’ is constantly converging, and sooner or later, we’ll meet—whether it’s a wave or a conflict, it’s just a matter of time, but... isn’t it a bit too early now?!"
The Astrologer’s delicate hand swept across the ’Star Dream Crystal’, with countless star-shaped patterns appearing in her palm. In an instant, she saw path after path of life appearing, but they were soon cut off.
"Amon, stabilize the layers!"
"Damn, we’re not fighting alone!" Amon shouted, the music box rattling, "Old Lin, hold on to the core. Astrologer and I will make a big move to push you towards the area of the ’Returning Ruins’!!"
"Okay!" Lin Yi replied decisively, his ability was "limited", but with the existence of the "Adaptation" trait, he could continuously adjust the pressure from the Angel’s fluctuations in the layers.
The Angel’s power continued to pour down, as if mountains were falling from the sky, crashing continuously onto the Layer Boat.
"Boom—Crack!!"
The Order-Keeping Ring seemed to be struck by lightning, covered with fine cracks!
Amon was shocked and quickly manipulated the Secret Pattern Matrix to repair it.
"It’s serious! Even if this thing isn’t a complete Angel, it’s not far off!" Some subtle cracks appeared on Amon’s music box body, with strong corrosive power penetrating the Order-Keeping Ring and the Secret Pattern Matrix, landing on him. This was the Angel’s power, even a sliver of it is irresistible, unstoppable. "Mao Feiyang, quickly take over for me! I feel like I can’t hold on much longer!"
Mao Feiyang hurried in.
"Hold on a bit longer, Amon! Just a bit longer!!" The Astrologer gritted teeth as they shouted, irresistibly glancing at Tian Bufan with a sense of instinct and premonition of a certain opportunity, faintly feeling that they were about to uncover some shocking secrets.
"I’ll hold on!!" Amon gritted teeth, sitting down on the deck.
"I’m going to activate the backup hidden energy!"
He shouted, dismantling two legs of the music box body and unfolding them into a massive Secret Pattern Matrix.
Noisily, he connected the Secret Pattern Matrix to the hull, and in an instant, another Order-Keeping Ring erupted, its dazzling light astonishing everyone.
"Why do you only bring out these treasures now?!" The Astrologer questioned.
"Do you hear yourself? What do you mean ’only now’?! This is Gray Mist Sea!" Amon responded, "I prepared this to cross ’Returning Ruins’, didn’t expect to use it now!"
Amon complained but worked with increasing momentum.
"Regular navigation can no longer break through the boundaries of the Gray Mist Sea, we need to leap!"
"Then let’s leap!" The Astrologer said, "Lin Yi, how long until you can ’adapt’ to the Angel’s pressure?! Before you adapt, we shouldn’t be able to break free from its pull!"
Lin Yi clenched his teeth: "After the last leap, I felt some adaptation, but the Angel’s breath pouring down is too strong, I estimate it’ll take several more rounds of adaptation!"
"I can act." The Boss spoke calmly.
"It’s not time yet! Xi’er!" The Astrologer said, "Let’s leap first! You’re our last direct combat power, must be preserved to the end!"
On the deck, listening to the discussion, Wei Shan slowly clenched his fist, muttering softly, "I can take action."
