Chapter 140 A God Descends from the Sky! The Embers Return! The Light of Purification! (33)

| State Survivor Base.

bang——

Bang bang——!
Cao Fang moved swiftly through the horde of beasts.

She was covered in silver metallic armor and held a giant spatula that was two meters long.

She had little experience in fighting.

But she's been cooking for decades!

Flip, stir, and stir-fry!

Stir, pat, scrape!

This is her second attempt at testing her new abilities, following her creation of a 30-meter-diameter giant frying pan.

[Second-Tier Metal Attribute Ability: Steel Body]

[Active Effect: Metallizes the body surface, greatly increasing defense]

……

[Third-Tier Metal Attribute Ability: Liquid Metal]

[Active Effect: Liquefies and shapes metal, forming weapons or armor]

……

Prior to this, Cao Fang had only ever used the first-tier ability 'Metal Manipulation'.

These two abilities were things she only came to understand after she 'became more powerful' in the past few days.

Effect……

Surprisingly good.

Cao Fang applied her experience of running a restaurant for twenty years and cooking for forty years to the battle.

She is much more adept at this than before at 'slapping from a distance'.

As they were being stir-fried, mutated beasts flew everywhere.

period.

Mutant beasts attacked and tore at her, but they couldn't even break through her 'steel body' defense!
even……

A mutated dog bit Cao Fang's arm hard, but Cao Fang was unharmed while the mutated dog's teeth were shattered.

Swah——

Swish-

Cao Fang was extremely fast.

From a distance, only a silver figure could be seen weaving back and forth through the beast tide.

even……

She gradually became dissatisfied with simply 'stirring up' the mutated beasts, and instead headed straight for the few infected creatures emitting black mist at the rear of the beast horde!

Compared to mutated beasts, infected beings possess greater intelligence.

This current beast tide was caused by them.

"Woo——"

The infected creature let out a terrified whimper as it watched the terrifying two-legged beast hurtling towards it.

then……

Bang-!
Cao Fang slapped it with a spatula, reducing it from 1.8 meters to 1.8 centimeters.

The other infected creature moved extremely quickly and had already fled into the distance.

but……

"Don't run!"

Cao Fang shouted and pushed off with his feet, instantly appearing in front of it.

then……

Click——!
This spatula represents forty years of experience.

Even though this was a level 3 infected creature, it could only be forcibly cut in half at the waist.

"Woo..."

The infected creature stared wide-eyed at Cao Fang.

Before it died, it let out a final whistle.

| State Survivor Base.

Hundreds of thousands of people watched this scene, their minds completely blank.

"Oh my god..."

"Steel Girl + Magnet Mother?"

……

……

Time passes slowly.

Cao Fang continued to fight through the beast tide.

but……

Her energy and physical strength, however, are also limited.

Especially after they exerted their full strength and crushed those infected masterminds behind the scenes.

Outside the state base, tens of thousands of beasts swarmed out of control and rioted.

"Roar--!"

They roared.

A group of people surrounded Cao Fang, who looked exhausted.

The other part charged toward the gates of the State Base!
They can smell...

The base reeks of human flesh and blood!

By consuming these humans, they will gain more energy and have the opportunity to advance their own rank!
"not good!"

Ah Zhen, watching this scene, finally recovered from the shock she had just experienced.

"Block!"

She led her team members, along with the survivor base's guards, gripping their iron bars and steel pipes, and charged toward the gate.

The base must not be lost, no matter what.

otherwise……

Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people inside the base will be slaughtered!
Can be biased.

At this critical moment.

hum-

An invisible wave suddenly spread out.

This fluctuation did not originate from within the survivor base, nor from Cao Fang, who was surrounded by the beast tide.

But...

| Outside the state university, in a secluded alley.

Swah——

In the alley, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

It was none other than Ember, who had returned from Planet A3 via coordinate imprinting.

Because the coordinates of Langlang Mountain were mistakenly placed at the summit of Mount Lu during Nyarlathotep's prophecy, the Embers are now transmitting the original coordinates left in the State of Yi.

He had just returned when he sensed the presence of numerous mutated beasts not far away.

His fourteenth-level perception allows him to instantly take in all the scenes without using his light touch.

and so……

Ember activated a spatial confinement.

Swah——

With a swift movement, he soared into the sky.

Looking down from the sky, you can see that the entire I-State University is completely surrounded by the beast tide.

What Ah Zhen and the others saw outside the gate was actually just the tip of the iceberg.

In other areas of the university, mutated beasts have even broken through the barbed wire defenses set up by Ah Zhen and others, and are rushing towards the unsuspecting survivors.

"The situation on Earth looks more serious than I anticipated."

As Yu Jin sighed inwardly, he reached out and gently tapped the ground in front of him.

hum-

A black hole the size of a sesame seed appeared.

[Fifth-Order Spatial Attribute Ability: Spatial Black Hole lv9]

[Active Effect: Disintegrates the space within the area, creating a black hole that absorbs and annihilates all matter and energy within the area]

[Max Level Effect: Can select a target for black hole absorption]

Swah——

It was just a fleeting moment.

The black hole expanded to the size of a fist. It's not that it couldn't expand even larger, but even if a target could be chosen, the black hole's own gravitational pull would always remain.

Om-!
Yu Jin had a sudden thought.

A terrifying attraction emanated from the black hole, enveloping tens of thousands of mutated infected beasts below.

then……

Whoosh-!
Whizzing--!
One after another, the mutated beasts rose uncontrollably into the air.

They could not scream, they could not struggle.

They could only watch helplessly as they got closer and closer to the black hole...

As they approached the black hole, they were torn apart into a cloud of blood mist.

The blood mist existed for only a moment, so much so that it was absorbed by the black hole before it could even be seen clearly.

The whole process sounds complicated, but it actually happens in just one or two seconds.

Om-!
When the embers broke free from the spatial confinement, everything returned to normal.

Before Ah Zhen and the hundreds of thousands of people in the base, the horde of mutated beasts had vanished completely.

And above the sky.

The figure standing in mid-air simply waved his hand, and the black hole that had slaughtered and annihilated tens of thousands of mutated beasts vanished without a trace.

Swah——

Ember stepped down from the sky.

It was only a small step, yet he had already appeared in front of Cao Fang.

"mom."

"I am back."

As Yu Jin spoke softly, he hugged Cao Fang tightly, whose eyes instantly reddened.

……

……

| State Survivor Base.

The embers did not linger for long.

Before him, the system panel displayed a clear countdown timer.

Ten minutes later, he will be forcibly teleported back to planet A3.

In those ten minutes, Ember had a lot to do.

therefore.

After letting Cao Fang know that he was safe and sound, and telling her that Old Yu and his younger brother Yu Chen were both safe.

The embers left behind a ground covered in crystals and mutated beast meat resources.

This portion of crystallization is enough to turn hundreds of thousands of people in the base into evolved beings.

The meat of mutated beasts at the lowest tier three contains extremely abundant energy, making it of great strategic value in this resource-scarce apocalypse.

After that...

The embers shot into the sky, reaching straight up to the heavens.

What he really wants to do after returning this time is to purify the Blue Star!
The remaining 11% of the pollution from 'Oumuamua continued to spread after it landed on Earth.

Today it is today.

The embers could even sense it...

The pollution level of Earth is now close to that of Planet A3.

This means that pollution itself is not static.

Once pollution occurs, it will continue to escalate in ways that are currently incomprehensible to the embers.

This is undoubtedly extremely dangerous intelligence.

To know……

On planet A3, without the protection of a refuge city, ordinary people who stay in the wild for too long will become infected!
In other words.

If the embers don't return to Earth in time to purify the remaining pollution...

So, as time goes by, even if the embers purified 89% of Oumuamua's pollution, the remaining 11% of the pollution sources would still be enough to turn the entire planet into a 'wasteland planet'.

There is only one way to purify all the pollution within just ten minutes...

Swish-!
Behind the embers, wings of light unfolded.

Just like before he transmigrated, he unleashed his full speed and sped towards space!

He's going to unleash a powerful purifying beam on Earth!
This is undoubtedly an extremely bold plan.

But this was the best solution that Ember could think of.

"Back on Earth, the stats will be suppressed by 99%..."

Amidst the howling, the embers were also sensing the changes within themselves.

His original value was as high as 3000 million, but it was suppressed to 1550 million on planet A3.

Back on Earth, however, the number was suppressed by 99% from the original 3000 million.

The current actual value of the embers is exactly 30.

The numerical range of a ninth-tier evolved being is between 10 and 100.

In other words.

Even with 99% of its power suppressed, Ember was still comparable to a fully evolved ninth-tier being.

but……

But that wasn't what Yu Jin was concerned about at the moment.

But...

In Eureka's memory, even though everyone in the Level II civilization of Celsa was at Tier 9 during the closed beta, no one was able to bring their Tier 9 abilities back to Celsa.

The suppression of evolved beings by Earth is 99%.

The planet Celsa no longer suppresses the evolved beings; it should be called a 'seal'.

Before the time travel occurred and Oumuamua arrived, the beta testers on Earth were also 'sealed'.

and so……

"Is the source of extraordinary power pollution itself?"

This conclusion made Yu Jin frown.

The only exception is oneself, who is bound to the system.

"Does purifying pollution mean that the evolved beings of Earth will no longer be extraordinary in reality?"

The thought popped into Yu Jin's mind.

But soon, he became more determined to purify the pollution.

Whether they are extraordinary or not, they are merely used to combat mutated beasts and infected beings that are contaminated.

However, the light of purification itself has a fundamental killing effect on mutated beasts and infected beings.

A purifying beam of light aimed at Earth would not only cleanse the remaining pollution of Oumuamua, but also exterminate infected creatures and mutated beasts worldwide!

but……

Do not know why.

Yu Jin recalled the two speculations that Yu Fei had told him back then.

Pollution cannot be stopped.

"Blue Star will eventually perish."

Swah——

The embers flew away from the blue planet and plunged into space.

He looked down at the blue planet beneath his feet, then turned to look at the moon, which had been completely turned into darkness, and the sun, which was much dimmer than before, in the distance.

Is pollution truly unstoppable?

Ember didn't know the answer to that question.

His intuition told him that his mission to clean up the Earth's pollution might not be so simple.

but……

It depends on human effort, not destiny.

Yu Jin unleashed his full power to activate the energy within his body!

Om-!
The number 30 reveals its charm at this moment.

Compared to his past self, the current Ember has to purify not just the fragments of the tenth-order pollution source, Oumuamua, but the entire Blue Star!

Ember took one last deep look at the gray planet beneath his feet.

He reached out and pointed from a distance.

boom--!
A dazzling light burst forth from their fingertips, hurtling towards the blue star below!

This finger.

A value of 30, and a level 8 Purification Light!
This finger.

He wants to make this planet as blue as it was before!
