Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"quick......"

Before the warning could even be uttered, a pair of bright eyes suddenly appeared before him.

As the lead singer shouted lyrics in his ear, Lin Yuan raised his arm and suddenly pressed down on the other person's head.

The next moment, the world spun around, and the person in front of him was lifted into the air and slammed into the alloy floor, becoming deeply embedded there.

Screams followed one after another, and in just a few breaths, only one person in the entire squad survived.

He stared at the dust and mist that filled the corridor, and the two points of light that slowly appeared in the mist, and fear washed over him like ice water.

"Go to hell!!"

In a panic, he instinctively grabbed a heavy energy gun from the corpse beside him; the blue light flowing from the muzzle gave him a sense of security.

"boom!"

With a forceful pull of the trigger, a blazing blue ball of light instantly erupted from the muzzle, which then transformed into a thick beam of energy that pierced through the dust and mist.

The surging energy tore apart the fog, leaving a scorching mark on the ground.

The scorch marks continued to extend, but stopped abruptly before touching a figure.

Lin Yuan stared at the blinding blue light before him, listening to the soothing melody in his ears, his body remaining perfectly still.

A look of great interest appeared on his face, and he strolled forward leisurely, braving the energy rays.

The purple-gold light curtain, which was constantly absorbing energy, not only remained calm, but even became brighter.

The surviving members of the Annihilation Gang were horrified by what they saw, wondering if they were dreaming.

But as Lin Yuan approached, the energy beams were deflected and struck the corridor, causing considerable damage in an instant, proving that it was all true.

"no no......"

The members of the Annihilation Gang watched in despair as Lin Yuan walked up to them. The next moment, he raised his right hand, which was flashing with light, and blocked the muzzle of the gun.

Instantly, the surface of the energy gun lit up with a red light, and then the entire energy gun exploded due to overheating.

"what!"

The gun explosion and the scattered shrapnel instantly turned the annihilation gang members in front of them into sieves.

After the chorus ends, the music begins the next phase.

The surrounding lights dimmed instantly, with only sparks flashing continuously in the compartment.

"Team Leader Lin, can you receive this? Sorry, it took some time to establish the path."

Xiang Yu's voice came back in.

Lin Yuan waved away the blood mist in front of him and laughed.

"It's alright, the timing is perfect!"

...........

Chapter 82 Straight Line

(How come the holiday went by so fast? I don't want to go back to work!)

"Ugh, what kind of monster are you?!"

With a casual crushing of a member of the Annihilation Gang's throat, Lin Yuan stepped into the next corridor.

Heavy machine guns and rocket arrays suddenly descended from the ceiling above his head, and a storm of metal and continuous flames instantly engulfed his figure.

"Da da da"

With an extremely high rate of fire, the ammunition was emptied in an instant.

As the smoke and flames gradually dissipated, the figure reappeared on the monitor screen.

"How is this possible..."

"What kind of monster is he?!"

Panic and unrest quickly spread through the command center.

All eyes turned to General Burning.

"[Storage]...The Fate Walker!"

Yan Ji uttered each word slowly and deliberately. He glanced at the uneasy faces of his subordinates, his eyes flashing with even more intense bloodlust.

"Send out all our most powerful weapons, and also him himself..."

Flame Sacrifice was surrounded by rising black flames, and his voice was hoarse and scorching like molten iron.

"I'll personally entertain him!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone felt a strange sense of certainty.

Images from the past flashed through their minds simultaneously: the figure of Yan Ji, laughing wildly to the sky amidst the burning ruins of the world.

"If I could bring about complete destruction to the path of [Preservation], then surely the supreme destroyer would take notice of me."

Thinking of this, the ferocity emanating from Yan's body suddenly surged.

His eyes were brimming with a thirst for blood and a desire to fight.

........

"Xiao Xiang, what's going on? I feel like I'm taking a roundabout route."

After taking down another squad of the Annihilation Gang, Lin Yuan looked at the wreckage in front of him and shook his wrist.

"Captain, this isn't my fault. You landed in an outer section, and the ship's internal structure is inherently chaotic. Reaching the core area inevitably requires a detour."

"But this is good too, it allows us to disperse and divide the enemy forces, defeating them one by one. For example, there are quite a few well-prepared ambushes directly above you right now; if you try to charge in head-on, you might get bogged down in a prolonged battle."

"Hehe, Xiao Xiang."

Lin Yuan laughed after hearing this.

"What era are we living in? Still using such traditional thinking? I don't need you to divide the enemy; I need to efficiently annihilate them all in one fell swoop. For example... you just said there are quite a few enemies above me?"

"Correct."

"Then watch closely, and you'll see what it means that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line!"

Lin Yuan said loudly that all the attacks he had suffered before were now boiling and transforming in the furnace inside his body.

The purple-gold sphere blazed like the sun, bursting forth with surging, almost bursting imaginary energy.

Lin Yuan looked up at the ceiling, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

He lowered his waist and twisted his body, pulling his right arm back, and a massive amount of imaginary energy was mobilized and poured in.

A burst of intense golden light flashed in his eyes, and then the fist shot straight upwards.

.......

"Hey, why is there no movement down there? Could they all be dead?!"

A man with a red mohawk, sweating profusely, asked the person next to him in a low voice. Whether it was out of fear or nervousness, his hand holding the weapon was trembling slightly.

"...Perhaps the invaders have already been eliminated."

The man with the flame tattoo next to him spoke in a hoarse voice.

"With dozens of teams deployed, any kind of enemy should be dealt with by now."

But seemingly lacking confidence in his own words, he added:

"Don't be too scared, brothers. Judging from their trajectory, it'll be a while before they get here. By then, the boss and those big guys will be here. What do we have to worry about?"

"Who...who's afraid!"

Despite his stubbornness, the man with the mohawk felt a little more at ease.

"I'm afraid that bastard will be blasted to smithereens before he even sees my big gun! Otherwise, I'd definitely make him taste it..."

"boom!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, the thick alloy floor beneath his feet suddenly burst forth with endless light and heat!

With a tremendous roar, the metal ground was first shattered by the immense force, then melted and burned through by the boundless heat and flames.

The mohawk-haired man's boastful words became the team's final words. The others didn't even have time to cry out before they were thrown into the air by the shockwave, their bodies instantly shattered.

The flames swept past, and the shattered body was burned to ashes, eliminating the need for cremation.

This terrifying punch pierced through the upper layer in an instant, and without stopping its power, it continued to pierce through multiple layers of ground, forming a long, upward-reaching path.

Lin Yuan gently withdrew his fist, looking at the flames and smoke rising above.

At the very top of the rift, a red, fiery fist imprint was boldly etched onto the ceiling of the top floor.

"........"

The communication channel was deathly silent, until finally a suppressed gasp was heard.

Lin Yuan lightly touched the tip of his finger, leaped into the passage, and smiled into his earpiece:

"How about you help me plan the shortest route?"

"team leader……"

A moment later, Xiang Yu's voice came through, unusually tinged with a hint of dazedness and loneliness.

Is the power of fate truly so vast? Faced with such an existence, can ordinary people like us really control our own destiny?

Lin Yuan paused slightly.

"Sure," he replied quickly, his tone calm.

"People can always choose their own path. As long as you want to go, the path is right under your feet."

Without pausing for long, Lin Yuan took another step, his smile unchanged.

"Just keep going. Who can predict the outcome? Comrade Xiao Xiang, instead of wallowing in self-pity now, it would be more practical to call my name when you encounter trouble you can't handle in the future."

"Hehe, Captain, as a member of the company, I'm dedicating everything I have to King Amber. He will protect me when the time comes."

Xiang Yu's voice noticeably relaxed.
