Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 301 Queen of the Sky, Schemes and Reflected Light
Bai Ye's move was perfectly timed.

Time it perfectly, within that gap of less than one-hundredth of a second.

That's equivalent to the blink of an eye in ten microseconds.

Although microsecond-level reaction and judgment are nothing to a level 29 evolved being in the late stage of the second tier, which is still the upper limit...

But at this moment, Bai Ye was more than two hundred meters away from Lang Ao and the bishop.

Even just glancing over requires a certain amount of time to make a judgment.

Fortunately, no evolved being in the entire wasteland has a better grasp of space than Bai Ye.

The primary prerequisite for manipulating space is the accurate grasp of the passage of time.

After all, space has no fixed shape and is ever-changing. Only by having a stronger sense of perception can one accurately control and utilize the power of space within the body in an infinitely changing space and apply it to reality.

Through years of practice and combat, Bai Ye's grasp of spatial changes has become accurate to the microsecond level.

His reaction speed is unparalleled below the third rank.

The successful evolution of this ability has also forced it, as a support character, to passively defend in every battle, so its reaction speed must be faster than the enemy's attack.

Otherwise, the enemy's attack would have already struck her before the spatial power took effect.

But it is precisely this unparalleled reaction speed that allows Bai Ye to provide tremendous assistance in extremely crucial life-or-death confrontations.

For example, helping His Holiness the Bishop at this moment to achieve a momentary teleportation.

Specifically, it involves drawing upon the power of the space within the body to connect with the spatial node tightly held by the bishop, and then directly detonating the node.

The life essence containing spatial power within the node is activated and released, instantly expanding the space and creating a new space around the bishop.

Space is essentially energy.

The rapidly expanding space, in other words, creates a super energy shockwave between the bishop and Wolf Ao.

The interaction occurs between the bishop and Wolf.

So as Bai Ye detonated the spatial node, the next moment the bishop was seen being pushed away as if he had been shoved, his whole body like a kite with a broken string, being pushed dozens of meters away.

The wolf fangs that had shattered the outer shell of the bishop's immortal armor in Wolf Ao's gaping maw felt like they had bitten into an empty ball of cotton.

No matter how much they squeezed and bit, they could not touch the armor on the target's surface again.

Furthermore, the wolf's head, due to the rapid expansion of space, instantly more than doubled in size, and its lips, like an inflated balloon, were pushed back by an invisible force.

The force was so great that even a level 29 wild wolf behemoth with the strength of hundreds of tons could hardly resist it.

After all, in such a high-pressure environment, the space, after being transformed from elementary particles into spatial energy, will expand countless times, just like the Big Bang origin at the beginning of the universe. Not to mention a second-order peak life form with flesh and blood...

Even a third-tier king cannot withstand the spatial compression caused by the violent expansion of energy when matter is transformed into space.

This force is even higher than the critical pressure of one billion Pascals required for nuclear fusion. Under such high pressure, even atomic nuclei can be shattered, let alone living organisms.

Of course, with Bai Ye's current level of mastery over spatial power, he is not yet capable of creating such a terrifying high-pressure zone of energy expansion.

According to the calculations Ma Li had previously made for her, with the current atmospheric standard pressure of 100 kilopascals, Bai Ye could create ten times the standard pressure in a confined space when using spatial power to influence reality.

In other words, the maximum space that Bai Ye can currently fold is about ten times.

For example, the sealed vacuum iron canister around her waist has ten times the basic space.

The system generates electricity through solar panels, then uses that electricity to electrolyze water, collecting and storing ten times the amount of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen for long-range bombing in combat.

However, not all material structures can withstand ten times the pressure environment, so the flamethrower canisters in the hands of the team members can only be filled with four to five times the folding space.

The spatial node in the bishop's hand is essentially a storage carrier of spatial energy and contains the most primordial spatial source matter, which is why it can connect with Bai Ye, hundreds of meters away.

The spatial energy contained in each spatial node can eventually expand to a space of one hundred cubic meters, while when it shrinks to ten square meters, it can generate ten times the pressure.

The bishop still had twenty nodes clutched in his hand, enough to create an ultra-high pressure zone with a pressure a hundred times that of standard atmospheres within a twenty-square-meter area around him.

The shockwave generated by its expansion is comparable to the power of the battleship's heavy artillery.

Of course, since it is simply spatial expansion, the energy density is far lower than the chemical energy of an explosion, so it cannot produce a flame of several thousand degrees.

But pushing aside the hundred-ton wolf-like creature was more than enough.

At the same time, the violent shockwave also caused the wolf-tooth spear that the bishop was holding tightly in his other hand to be wrapped up by the power of the expanding space and continue to penetrate deeper into Lang Ao's body.

The expansion impact from the entire spatial node lasted for less than ten microseconds before gradually spreading out from a pressure a hundred times that of the atmosphere, eventually merging into the real space and dissipating without a trace.

But in the end, it saved the bishop from being torn apart by the wolf's gaping maw, and also allowed the bishop to deliver his fatal blow.

It dealt a heavy blow to Lang Ao's waist.

The over two-meter-long armor-piercing wolf spear pierced deep into the vertebrae of Lang Ao's waist, shattering the spine and severing the complex internal nervous system.

This caused Lang Ao to lose awareness of the hindquarters of his body and make it difficult for him to smoothly control his hind legs.

Until this thorn in his side is removed, Lang Ao's mobility and reaction capabilities will be greatly diminished.

Not only could it no longer unleash its near-sonic speed, but it was also difficult to evade the long-range bombardment from the Oasis warship.

So the moment Wolf Ao was knocked away, it realized the danger it was in and also suddenly realized that the strange energy fluctuation just now came from Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army.

A rare evolved being who has mastered the power of space.

A legendary being known as the Queen of the Sky.

In the current wasteland, its true strength makes it the strongest second-tier evolver, second only to a third-tier king.

If it weren't for Wolf Ao leading the entire Wilderness Wolf Clan to completely surround Bai Ye, forcing him to submit to the wolves and participate in the siege of Oasis Town, Bai Ye would not have been able to hold out against the wolf clan even if he were alone.

The opponent's sudden attack just now was enough to prove that in a one-on-one face-to-face confrontation, it would be extremely difficult to inflict effective damage on Bai Ye using close combat.

The opponent can avoid any damage within 100 meters simply by using spatial power to teleport.

Of course, if it is besieged or subjected to a wide-ranging barrage of human artillery fire, Bai Ye's proud special spatial abilities will also be difficult to withstand.

However, as a support role, Bai Ye's most prominent role is not in direct confrontation, but in providing additional effects to teammates in actual combat.

For example, he just delivered a fatal blow to the bishop, severely injuring Wolf Ao, and at the same time successfully rescued the Oasis Bishop who was in danger.

This ability is akin to giving someone a second life.

Once everything was settled, although Lang Ao chose to retreat the moment he landed, the bishop was one step ahead, rushing behind him and delivering a powerful blow to Lang Ao's injured lumbar spine.

As for Bai Ye, who had already been exposed, he immediately revealed his true form and directly mobilized the spatial nodes scattered on the arena to form a pan-space energy area.

With the help of these energy fields, Bai Ye can float in mid-air with very low energy consumption and can also perform high-speed instantaneous movement.

At this moment, her whole body was condensed with a layer of semi-transparent spatial energy, and in the space filled with spatial energy, she was like an electric charge walking in a magnetic field.

They can freely utilize the power of the surrounding space to teleport and change positions, propelling themselves to change locations at will in the air, or releasing energy to push themselves or their enemies more than a hundred meters away.

Such an ability is comparable to the energy radiation carried by a third-tier king.

That's why, before the battle, the bishop praised Bai Ye's intelligence and wisdom so lavishly, for being able to artificially create abilities comparable to the third-tier realm before even reaching the third tier.

This would compensate for the weakness in combat that had always existed in their spatial abilities.

At this moment, Bai Ye, who had transformed into the Queen of the Sky, naturally also used the spatial power within her body. Her eyes were covered with white energy, making her look like a god descending from the sky.

This state of Bai Ye was also seen when facing the third-order aberration in the underground shelter of the Mount Tai ruins, and it was Bai Ye's strongest state.

The energy within his body began to be released in full force, transforming him into the aerial master of this arena chariot.

Bai Ye, who joined the main battlefield in his strongest pseudo-third-tier form, did not use spatial abilities to directly attack the three-headed wolf behemoth.

It primarily utilizes spatial power as a means of attack, such as condensing spatial blades or creating spatial compression zones...

While Bai Ye in his pseudo-third-order state can do these things, the consumption of spatial abilities by this kind of condensed form of long-range attack is undoubtedly enormous.

Moreover, in order to maintain this state, the energy consumption is several times that of the original. If it weren't for the spatial energy field formed by the spatial nodes, Bai Ye could only maintain the pseudo-third-order state for a few minutes at most.

To conserve the power within his body, the best approach is to continue playing a support role, helping the bishop present, as well as Li Hao who is in a berserk state, to evade the deadly counterattack from the giant wolf beast.

In this way, their side can gain a significant advantage, and Bai Ye won't have to risk his life to directly confront the second-tier wild wolf behemoth.

As the Sky Queen, Byakuya, descended from the sky, this epic battle entered its final, life-or-death struggle.

The bishop and Wolf began to fight.

Both sides are currently in a slump.

Bishop Oasis's life is about to be exhausted, and Wolf Ao's mobility and reaction speed are also declining due to the injury to his lumbar spine.

The main problem was that the armor-piercing wolf spear couldn't be removed, and the bishop was also able to launch surprise attacks from time to time, continuing to deliver heavy blows to the injured lower back area...

This resulted in Lang Ao being unable to restore the damaged parts to their original state even after consuming a large number of Tier 3 Wolf King cells.

At this moment, the level of the battle between the two sides has dropped from the peak of the second tier to the ordinary late stage of the second tier, and they have fallen into a fierce battle to see who will run out of stamina first.

Even so, due to his congenital deficiency, the bishop's vitality was far lower than that of Lang Ao, and he was always at a disadvantage in the battle.

Thanks to Bai Ye's timely rescues several times, they were spared from being torn apart by the giant wolf's fangs.

Meanwhile, Li Hao, who had transformed into a late-stage Rock Horse Warrior, was also facing a tough battle against the other two early-stage Tier 2 Wild Wolf Beasts.

The quality and strength of the Rock Horse Armor on his body were only at the mid-stage of the second tier, which could only barely withstand the attacks of the early-stage Wild Wolf Beast.

The Rockhorse Evolution Agent, originally intended for advancing to the late stage of the second tier, was specially prepared by Li Hao for the Rockhorse Armor. He hoped that the armor could achieve a historic leap under the dual stimulation of the sublimation potion and the life essence.

It became the only remaining late-game armor set in the world!
Even at his peak, the Bishop would find it difficult to break through the late-stage second-tier Rock Horse Armor.

The sudden appearance of the Wilderness Wolf Clan disrupted Li Hao's original plans, forcing him to take a desperate gamble and hope that he could survive the battle.

However, with only the flesh and blood of a late-stage Tier 2 Rockhorse, and without the equivalent late-stage armor of a Rockhorse Behemoth, Li Hao could only resort to trading blows in battle.

Over time, the outer layer of ceramic steel armor on the rock horse armor of the body became thinner and thinner due to friction with the steel wolf teeth of the wild wolf behemoth.

Although Bai Ye could use his spatial abilities to save Li Hao from a fatal blow, he couldn't completely avoid damage. Moreover, Li Hao's current fighting style was entirely based on instinct, making him completely unpredictable.

Even Bai Ye couldn't predict the next direction of attack for this crazed rock horse war beast.

Moreover, Bai Ye had to multitask at this moment, keeping an eye on the movements on two battlefields. As for Li Hao, who could not play a decisive role, he could only ensure that he would not be quickly killed by the two second-tier wild wolf beasts.

Furthermore, given Li Hao's current condition, it would be difficult for him to survive the great battle. Bai Ye's primary task is to ensure that Lang Ao is severely injured by the bishop so that he can escape from this place and rescue his subordinates who are being held hostage.

In addition, both the best bishop and Li Hao, two late-stage second-tier powerhouses, perished in this battle...

In this way, Bai Ye can become the strongest figure in Oasis Town, thus enabling the Oasis Church to fulfill its previous promises.

Just as Bai Ye was pondering how to maximize her own interests by taking advantage of this battle that would determine the fate of the oasis, she suddenly noticed several beams of intense solar energy flashing past her.

Near its spatial ability, the beam of light that was originally projected straight ahead was distorted and deformed.

Bai Ye then turned around and looked back.

Two kilometers away on Oasis Avenue, atop a boulder, someone was holding a magnifying lens, using it to refract the sunlight and send a signal in this direction.

Beside this man, Lin Feng was holding a level 27 Melt Annihilation Cannon, locking onto Wolf Ao, the wolf clan leader who was locked in combat with the bishop!
