Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 825 Internal and External Struggle, Attacked from Both Sides

Zen Ryushina had accumulated years of experience and deliberately stopped at the fifth ring in order to achieve the best breakthrough. It was not until the Second Seven Earth War broke out that he made rapid progress and recently attained the second stage of the True Spirit.

No matter how deep one's accumulation, Zenratsu is ultimately only at the second stage of True Spirit. As fellow fifth-ring psychics, is one really that much weaker than the other?
However, Zenryusa also serves as the "King of the Abyss" and has accumulated "faith power," making him extremely proficient in the path of divinity. Therefore, his actual combat strength is exceptionally formidable. Even a psionicist of Chaklo Vaughn's level cannot be guaranteed to defeat him.

However, with his True Spirit "Manifestation," Song Shi could suppress the power of the Abyss and Faith to a great extent, narrowing the gap between them. But now, the very foundation upon which this suppression rested was beginning to crumble!
Without even looking, Song Shi immediately realized what had happened.

One's true spirit in the "present world" isolates the transmission of the power of faith, but the latter is merely unable to enter, not disappearing into thin air—it is drawn by the Zen moment, constantly accumulating and repeatedly colliding externally! Like an iron clamp with forces from both inside and outside working together, it shakes the true spirit in the "present world"!
Song Shi looked up and saw that the girl in front of him had changed her appearance once again during this time.

The veils of mist that enveloped the girl were originally formed from condensed white light, the surging power of faith and the souls of devout devotion. But now, if you look closely, you can see that this pure white light has changed.

From within, there are countless tiny points of light, like a swarm of luminous plankton inhabiting the deep sea, drifting and converging into a dazzling white light like a galaxy.

The [Liuli Guan] allowed Song Shi to see it clearly enough, and the individual points of light magnified in his pupils, revealing their more detailed appearance. They resembled glass beads or viewing spheres; if one pressed their face against them, one could clearly see that each viewing sphere contained an intricately designed landscape.

The vast racing arena, filled with various spectacular landscapes, is bathed in the roar of the crowd as the contestants drive their beloved cars into the arena; in the selective testing arena that can determine the trajectory of their future lives, the candidates sit down, taking deep breaths, as their years of hard work will be put to the test.

A magical academy, like something out of a fairy tale, is filled with castles and adorable fairies flitting about. Boys and girls, clutching their magic books, rush to their classrooms before the bell rings. In a cozy bedroom, a family photo sits on the bedside table; the father and mother are playing with their baby.
So many scenes, each completely different, yet incredibly real, as if they had truly existed. Compared to these, all the popular and trending virtual games on the market that boast of their high realism are as inferior as a baby's doodles.

Singularity Technology: “Mimetic World”!
Even Song Shi couldn't help but be momentarily amazed.

Humans have their limits. Even the soul of a fanatic, even with the strongest obsession, will eventually perish. Even the "great dream tale" of the true spirit can only postpone this process.

—Zen Ryusetsuna, however, used the Singularity Technology's ability to "create worlds" to create unique worlds for each of the souls she accepted! In this way, they were able to thrive and their sustainability was enhanced!
Those who seek glory return to the arena to compete for the championship they've always dreamed of; those who regret not performing well or making mistakes find themselves back in the exam room, ready to start over; those who resent the painful reality and yearn for the warmth of fairy tales realize their dreams; and those who love their families enjoy the human joys they could never have before.
"Too short," Song Shi said. "Too small."

"Ah."

The girl's lips did not open or close, yet a gentle whisper of her heart could be heard.

“I admit I didn’t give them my best.”

As time passed, in the observation spheres created by the "simulated world," races were held one after another without stopping, exams were held round after round, and the cycle of endlessly solving problems repeated itself, presenting almost identical scenes.

"This was my mistake—"

Zenryu Setsuna pursed her lips, a gesture that seemed to be both a cute smile and a hint of displeasure and anger.

Even the "Lord of the Abyss," who rules over a giant corporation, cannot create a complete world for each of his followers. The resources and power required are too vast, enough to be an astronomical figure for a fifth-ring psionicist.

These observation spheres, rather than being unique worlds, are more like "slices" of Zenryu Setsuna created for its followers, containing only a few scenes from its world.

Therefore, we must go to a higher level.

We must go to the very bottom of the abyss. We must go to the very end of the throne of God.

Amidst endless praises, the girl made this declaration.

"I shall--"

The voice suddenly stopped, as if the speaker on the platform had been struck by a sudden earthquake and involuntarily stopped speaking. Even the Milky Way, which surrounded the girl and was dazzling beyond compare, suddenly began to flicker.

Zenryu lowered his head slightly, the source of the earthquake.
【abyss】?
She is located in abyssal territory at varying depths, and is under attack?!
The attack came so fiercely, like a long-awaited beast baring its fangs, trying to devour its prey.

The attackers were instantly identified as Elsie Ingersoll of Yenan, along with some cyber experts belonging to the "New Order Federation." They were launching a fierce attack on the Abyss Territory, destroying the transmission lines of faith power, leaving the girl attacked from both sides!
The True Spirits of the "Present World" and the "Abyss" are both in turmoil, with a deafening roar like the collapse of the heavens and the earth, echoing in all directions.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Song Shi grinned and raised his heavy weapon once again.

"Whether it's the abyss or the power of faith."

Crimson flames surged forth, transforming into a tidal wave that incinerated everything.

"But it's not an external force! The only truly absolute force is psionic energy—!"

The girl said.

"Dian."

So I said nothing more.

The two sides are fighting again!
The deafening roar filled the background, like a floating island about to be blown up by industrial explosion. But the protagonists paid no attention to the earthquake and landslide, their eyes were fixed on each other, and they threw punch after punch in the splattering blood!
One second ago, Song Shi swept across the scene with a single blow, instantly clearing a large area of ​​the layered, dazzling Milky Way. Countless souls were incinerated before they could even react to what was happening. The fire continued unabated, engulfing the girl and burning her until it flickered unpredictably.

The counterattack arrived simultaneously, countless thoughts intertwining and multiplying into the gentlest yet most powerful torrent in the world. Even a fifth-ring psychic, as stubborn as a rock, could not withstand such an onslaught. Solidified perceptions became disordered, deeply ingrained instincts crumbled, and unique wills were eroded.

In an instant, the two separated.

Song Shi unleashed a fierce flame.

Behind Zen-like instants, illusory figures rose and fell like a sea, and the waning aura from the fierce battle returned to its peak in this instant.

The outcome of this battle will be decided in one strike!
