Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 611 Impossible...and Another Possibility

Zheng Zha had thought that after Zhang Jie's part of his spirit collapsed, his mecha would lose control... But to Zheng Zha's surprise, he could see through the one-way light-transmitting porthole that Zhang Jie's mecha was still moving.

"Ok?"

But the mental connection that had previously linked with him... had indeed disappeared.

Just then, another spiritual connection made Zheng Zha feel a sense of familiarity, which made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" Zheng Zha asked impatiently.

I encountered three extremely powerful spiritual forces, which must be annihilated immediately, or we will all be in danger.

These were Zhang Jie's words to Zheng Zha, which made Zheng Zha somewhat uneasy. Of course, he was no longer the weakling he used to be, and he had seen his share of big scenes, but this was truly the first time he had ever seen Zhang Jie react so strongly.

Zhang Jie's mental strength... even that of the fourth-tier advanced Abyss Child back then couldn't suppress him. Even if Zhang Jie hadn't cultivated any kind of cultivation-like soul techniques at the time, he could still be considered a demigod specializing in mental strength. To say that he could control a spirit tablet was impossible, but for a spirit tablet to defeat him in terms of mental strength was a joke.

Although a spirit tablet can use its physical body to overwhelm mental strength below its own level, it wouldn't give Zhang Jie this kind of oppressive feeling. The power he sensed was true mental strength... He even suspected that the other party was probably not a major cultivator of mental strength, otherwise, how could he possibly escape from the hands of three beings whose mental strength was already stronger than his own and who were major cultivators of mental strength?
Zhang Jie remained silent for a while, then muttered, "Fifth rank?"

Zheng Zha was stunned for a moment. The device that contained the core of the mental force field disintegrated in his hand, and a strange liquid flowed all over his palm, but he was completely unaware: "Fifth Rank?"

"Bullshit! Impossible!" Zhang Jie suddenly seemed to be provoked, and he roared in his heart.

Zheng Zha scolded, "Why are you shouting so loudly! Didn't you say it was fifth-tier first?"

Unfortunately, this was a private channel that Zhang Jie had given to Zheng Zha, and it was only for exchanging thoughts within their mental energy. Otherwise, Zheng Zha would probably have been able to hear Zhang Jie breathing heavily.

Once Zhang Jie calmed down, he sighed, "I'm not talking about you, I'm saying those three guys couldn't possibly be fifth-tier... absolutely impossible!"

Zheng Zha pondered for a moment, then subconsciously reached to touch the bridge of his nose, only to realize that he hadn't activated the third stage of his gene lock at all...

"Damn, as expected, using it too much will still have some impact on one's personality... Even if I'm at the fourth level, even if I haven't activated it, I'll still act like someone else..." Zheng Zha was secretly shocked. He forcibly stopped this subconscious behavior. At this moment, he also realized that something was wrong with his hand. He cursed under his breath and used the red flame to burn the liquid.

Zheng Zha asked in his mind, "You mean, three fourth-tier mental power... can scare you away? Are their mental power stronger than that spirit tablet, the Child of the Abyss? Could they be three high-level fourth-tier mental power controllers?"

“That’s impossible. Even in that situation, they couldn’t have escaped,” Zhang Jie said without hesitation. “Besides…”

"And what?"

Zhang Jie hesitated at this point: "Uh... and it seems like Mu Xiang is fighting three against one."

"Ok?"

Zheng Zha was confused again: "Wait a minute. Let's sort this out, okay?"

"You mean you encountered three beings with extremely strong spiritual power, and judging from their size, they are at least advanced fourth-tier... and you felt extremely threatened." Zheng Zha forced himself to understand. "But if they were fifth-tier, you probably wouldn't have been able to escape... If they were advanced fourth-tier, it seems they would have to cultivate spiritual power to pose such a great threat to you, right?"

Zhang Jie remained silent for a while: "Well, considering these two factors, this is the only explanation."

"And then you tell me, Mu Xiang was fighting three people at once?" Zheng Zha's tone was quite exaggerated, but it wasn't intentional. With so many deductions connected, it's not easy to remain composed while speaking.

After saying this, before Zhang Jie could respond, the communications ship, which had been thoroughly ravaged by the high temperature, suddenly shuddered.

"What's going on? Did you step on it?" Zheng Zha said, but he knew it was impossible. The only thing clinging to the outside of the communication ship was his own mecha. "I've already destroyed the internal structure of the communication ship. It's impossible for the Celestials to make the communication ship self-destruct."

Zhang Jie sneered, "It seems the materials used in these ships have some secrets... They can actually be controlled by mental power?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha thought of the mental power controller in the Demon Team... Come to think of it, the metal control ability he obtained from the Main God also seemed to be driven by mental power.

Oh right, what was that mental controller's name again? Tom? I think he was killed by Zheng Zha... killed by Zheng Zha disguised as Mu Xiang.

Thinking this, Zheng Zha, without any apparent exertion, passed through the ceiling of the communications ship and arrived outside. Behind him, the ceiling melted like butter, leaving a large, expanding hole. His mech was actually some distance away, but Zheng Zha simply flickered and transformed into a stream of fire, returning to his cockpit.

"What's this called? A skilled warrior achieves victory without fanfare?" Zheng Zha joked. "It's best if the two of us don't reveal ourselves."

Zhang Jie responded, and his mech, along with Zheng Zha, ejected and led a large number of unmanned mechs away from the almost completely destroyed communications ship.

His speculation was quite reasonable. After all, functionally speaking, this communications ship should no longer be subject to any control... it was just an empty metal shell.

But this empty shell still started moving, which is quite interesting.

While Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie were talking, Zhang Jie sensed a mental energy fluctuation expanding towards them... and then the communication ship reacted. Regardless of the other party's intentions—whether they were using mental energy and the interaction of metal to determine what was happening, or simply trying to surround them—Zhang Jie and Zheng Zha shouldn't have stayed any longer.

Now is not the time for them to reveal their secrets... They still have the mission of leading their team into battle.

As Zheng Zha flew alongside Zhang Jie's mecha, he asked himself, "Are you sure about what you saw earlier?"

Zhang Jie sighed: "What is there to be uncertain about? No matter how unbelievable it may seem, it is something I have felt... This cannot be dismissed with the excuse that seeing is not necessarily believing."

Zheng Zha cursed, "Does the Supreme God really deserve a scolding? How could he arrange enemies of this level for us? You mean, in the worst-case scenario, we'll be facing three fifth-tier enemies, and Mu Xiang is already fighting them?"

"We don't think we've held back when we spoke to the main god either..." Zhang Jie corrected. "I'm not questioning our partner's strength, what I mean is, Mu Xiang could only fight one strong spirit before, it's really unlikely that he can take on three fifth-tier spirits at once now. Even though this kid absorbed the sun, he shouldn't have improved to this extent, right?"

“Indeed, the difference between three fifth-tier beings and one spirit position is small even if we say it’s a world of difference,” Zheng Zha said with some doubt. “But how could three beings who are not even fifth-tier and do not primarily cultivate spiritual power pose such a great threat to you?”

Zhang Jie pondered for a while and then said, "Hmm... I thought of a possibility. Mu Xiang had chatted with me before."

"How to say?"

"His strength surpasses that of the fourth rank, but in terms of the essential sense of oppression, he cannot compare to the fifth rank of many extraordinary systems... Mu Xiang mentioned this kind of existence when he was talking to me about the cultivation system."

Zheng Zha vaguely remembered something, but he still asked, "What do you mean?"

"Fairy!"
