Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 785 "Definition"

"——Ruan Fa."

Dwight Brooks said the other man's name, his voice deep.

"Over the years, your Council of Knowledge has stolen countless assets from my Zero Degree Network and the Enterprise Alliance."

"each other."

Ruan Fa's hair was not short, but it did not look smooth, but rather cold and drooping. Her eyes were dark blue, with a detached scrutiny, as if she was looking down at the people and things in front of her.

"The amount of intelligence you invest in the Council of Knowledge every year is an astronomical figure." She spoke with a suffocating indifference: "It's a pity that you didn't get what you wanted. You still couldn't steal [Time Stasis]."

[Time Stasis] is one of the three singularity technologies mastered by the Council of Knowledge. It realizes the concrete operation of the illusory concept of "time", making the time that should flow forever stop moving forward and solidify into amber for people to appreciate.

"Technology has nothing to do with good or evil. In your hands, it is a tool to satisfy your selfish desires and a support for cruel rule." Ruan Fa's hands slowly clenched together: "They can become the cornerstone of the future and lead to a more outstanding world."

"ridiculous."

Dwight laughed coldly, and the rings on his fingers seemed to be infected by his emotions and lit up. "You talk about excellence. Oh, I really didn't expect that the leader of the Council of Knowledge would be a fool who believes that technology can continue to improve through hard work. I don't know about the future of other things, but I think the future of your Council of Knowledge is very worrying."

"——Our alliance of companies has proven to the world that 'company' is the best and ultimate entity form."

He held his head high and opened his arms almost arrogantly, revealing his broad chest.

"We dispatch resources so that every bit of energy can be put into the most efficient cycle. All talents are discovered and utilized. No matter where they are, we identify, refine and forge them. We give rich incentives to all living beings, rather than empty promises."

"This chaotic world needs an answer - and 'Company' has shown Terra unparalleled efficiency and results."

Ruan Fa stared at the old man calmly, as if looking down on him.

She declared: “The future is already in my sight.”

There are no more words to say.

Behind Dwight, a huge cross appeared in space, and a long and heavy sound came from it. The computing power from the ten abyssal domains was imposed on him according to the will of the ruler.

The old man's momentum was rising steadily, and the abyss covering reality was also affected. Redundant spiritual energy, chaotic consciousness, and cognitive fragments were rolled up and turned into a sticky tide. If it were an ordinary person, even if they just looked at this tide, their mind would collapse instantly, and their body would mutate abnormally.

The next second, the sticky tide expanded suddenly and turned into an overwhelming tsunami that smashed forward!

The [Abyss] of Depth 6 can have a certain impact even on psychics of the fifth ring, and Dwight Brooks' move is the result of condensing this impact to form a huge abyss impact.

The Abyss Shock performed by Dwight Brooks himself was enough to shake even the "Internet Firewall", a spectacular structure that separated the [Abyss] from the [Upper Internet Domain]. With just this one strike, Dwight Brooks was worthy of his title as the "King of the Abyss".

Facing the approaching tsunami, Ruan Fa just moved forward.

She moved forward, like a sun without light. The tsunami collapsed just before it reached her. The apocalyptic tsunami first collapsed and disintegrated into countless waves, which then evaporated and melted away. Not only the tsunami, but even the [Abyss] quickly faded away wherever she passed, revealing its original appearance again, a dark hole from space.

——Erase?
--destroy?
--cover?
No, neither.

Being in the abyss, Dwight Brooks's control was greatly enhanced. No changes could be hidden from him. Any details were like lines in the palm of his hand, which he could easily browse. So he clearly understood that the other party did not use violent means to directly destroy the abyss.

Both of them were in the fifth ring of [Balance], and both were the strongest in two physical forms. To be precise, "Ruan Fa" should be the second strongest. But in the past few years, due to various reasons, Dwight Brooks had never had a real fight with him.

The information recorded on paper could never fully summarize the entirety of a fifth-ring psychic, so it was not until this moment, until the official collision, that Dwight Brooks gradually got a glimpse of the full picture of Ruan Fa's psychic power.

——It means “correction”.

"You are more arrogant than the records show, Nguyen Fa."

Dwight Brooks whispered, and with a push of his big hand, the [abyss] that had just retreated immediately spread back and filled the hole again. However, when approaching Ruan Fa, the [abyss] was like encountering a chasm and could not advance any further.

"Such a [balance]. A 'balance' without any balance."

An apple will fall to the ground due to gravity, air pressure will change the boiling point of a liquid, light will shift with the medium, space is distributed discontinuously, and a person's age only increases and never decreases. They follow a rule, a law, and a rule.

In the eyes of psychics on the path of Balance - at least in the eyes of most of them - different rules influence each other and evolve into new rules, but no matter what, it is still just a rule.

Countless rules have achieved a dynamic balance, and thus the world we have today is constructed.

Psychics walking on the path of [balance] use their own will to pry and influence this balance, thereby achieving all kinds of extraordinary results.

But under the watchful eyes of Dwight Brooks, Ruan Fa was blatantly trampling on this principle!

Her "balance" is based on herself as the anchor point and the only baseline.

Anything that does not follow this baseline is considered an error and is subject to "correction" without any wiggle room!
The "balance" that should have been changing dynamically and fluctuating was given a fixed outline in her mind and became a straight line.

All realities that did not conform to it were like athletes who had deviated from their own track and were moved back on track by Ruan Fa in the name of judgment.

At the same moment when the tsunami collapsed, Ruan Fa's hands moved. Her five fingers were stretched out but not fully opened. Rather than an attack, her posture was more like playing with something. Her five fingers pulled and hooked an incalculable number of invisible and intangible strings.

These "strings" are precisely the rules, laws, and principles that are recognized by Ruan Fa and anchor the logic of how the world works.

True Spirit, first stage.
