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

He fought for hatred in the past, but today he fights for the fate of the planet.

The aircraft slowly descended, and Osius stepped out of the hatch.

The wind in the canyon ruffled his hair. He looked around, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Twenty years have passed in a flash, yet the past still seems as vivid as if it were yesterday."

“It’s a memory for you…” Helian Hai whispered from the side.

"For those people, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's a deep-seated hatred."

Osius did not answer, and Helian Hai's expression was very complicated.

He didn't know how to evaluate Osius's decision to push the situation to this point without his consent.

But undeniably, the burden on his shoulders was indeed lightened somewhat as a result.

To his even greater surprise, the company accepted the challenge.

"The captain is here."

The voices of the Sakura team came from behind. The company members had re-established contact with Lin Yuan and were somewhat relieved to learn that Vera and the others had not been further restricted.

The company's landing craft slowly descended into the canyon on the opposite side. A figure stepped out of the hatch first.

Helian Hai was somewhat surprised by the youth of the person in front of him, while Osius's expression became serious.

"Very strong..."

At this moment, his premonition of danger kept sending him signals that danger was approaching.

"I am Lin Yuan, P29, from the Marketing Department of Interstellar Peace Company."

The young man's voice echoed clearly above the canyon.

"I am aware of what has happened on this planet, and I sympathize with your plight, but... you should not negotiate with the company by coercing its representatives."

After all, one should be prepared to be treated the same way before threatening others. Once this is over, all those involved will be dealt with.

Lin Yuan's gaze was calm, but Helian Hai, who was being seen at that moment, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"But the company... has never provided us with the promised defense!"

Sensing the other party's imposing presence, Helian Hai became somewhat nervous. His face turned grim as he gritted his teeth and began to argue.

“That’s right, but Mr. Huass, who reached an agreement with me before, is no longer here. This is the price you pay for facing the cruel side of the universe before the world joins the company’s order.”

Lin Yuan shook his head, no longer paying attention to the other person, and turned his gaze to the tall man in front of him.

"And you, Osius. I am quite interested in your proposal."

A slight smile played on his lips:

"To decide the future of this world through a battle between two destined travelers... Interesting, I accept."

Lin Yuan paused slightly, but his tone became solemn.

"This battle will not only determine the future of this world, but also the fate of this place. King Amber, witness this battle!"

Osius's gaze was deep. He suddenly realized that the battle before him was probably not as simple as he had imagined.

"So, how do you want to compete?"

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked towards them.

Osius pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed towards the canyon.

"In this canyon, there is still a narrow passageway that only one person can pass through. We will fight on this passageway. The first person to give up or fall will lose, and the rest will be the winner. What do you say?"

"Okay." Lin Yuan nodded.

.......

The canyon corridor was swept by howling winds, with sand and stones flying everywhere.

Even as the sandstorm blinded them, everyone's eyes remained fixed on the narrow path in the center of the canyon, a path that could only be traversed by one person at a time.

At this moment, two figures stood facing each other on the corridor.

"Let's begin."

Lin Yuan said softly.

Osius nodded, and for a fleeting moment, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Lin Yuan saw the figure in front of him sway slightly, then seem to remain still.

But the next moment, a chilling, sharp edge suddenly came from behind him.

A fierce wind blows, and the murderous intent lies hidden within it, arriving silently.

Lin Yuan shifted his gaze slightly, then raised his finger and pointed.

"Ding!"

A faint purple-gold light appeared, accompanied by a crisp sound, as if Lin Yuan's fingers had touched an invisible sharpness.

The sharp aura flashed and disappeared in an instant. Lin Yuan withdrew his hand, and a slight stinging sensation came from his fingertips.

"The ultimate attack?"

A thought flashed through Lin Yuan's mind.

"Can you keep up with my speed?"

The afterimage in front of him began to dissipate, and Osius's true form slowly appeared from behind him.

Lin Yuan turned around and looked at the other person.

"I don't need to keep up with your speed. I just need to make sure I can block the extreme attack before it arrives. Sometimes, holding firm is enough to deal with most situations. That's what [Preservation] is all about: responding to all changes with constancy."

"Oh?"

Osius raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"What if your so-called 'protection' encounters an unbearable sharpness? When faced with a real threat, will you back down?"

The silver light returned to his eyes.

At this moment, in his vision, Lin Yuan, who was surrounded by flowing light, was no longer a single entity, but was vaguely divided into various parts.

In this situation, the flaws in each part will be magnified, and so will the weaknesses.

What he needs to do next is to target the weakest link and deliver a decisive blow.

Silver light emanated from Osius's palm, and gradually his figure and the afterimages around him merged and moved forward.

The air seemed to be cleaved apart at that moment, and an invisible sharpness began to cut through everything around it.

"bingo!"

At lightning speed, the silver light suddenly struck the weak point he had spotted.

However, to his surprise...

After the attack hit, he felt his power vanish as if it had disappeared into the sea.

In the end, only a shimmering, flowing purple-gold light remained before my eyes.

"The edge of [Hunting] is indeed sharp." Lin Yuan's voice was calm.

"Unfortunately, the greater the threat to [Preservation], the stronger and more resolute its power becomes. Until it is completely destroyed, it is the last line of defense for everything behind it."

"【Hunting】, 【Preservation】, interesting."

Osius suddenly felt a surge of thoughts.

"But how can you maintain your so-called order by simply protecting others?"

The silver light in the God of War's eyes suddenly intensified, and an extremely sharp feeling began to emerge.

At this moment, dozens of afterimages appeared in the narrow passage.

Silver light flowed among the afterimages, and then at a certain moment, a beam of light connected them, merging each afterimage and causing them to disappear completely.

What appeared before Lin Yuan was a silver storm hurtling towards the ground.

Every gust of wind is composed of extreme sharpness, and wherever it passes, the rocks underfoot are instantly worn away layer by layer.

If you look closely, you can see that the swaying weeds and flying stones are starting to break apart, and even the wind in the canyon is splitting into two pieces.

"You're right, so the company's order has never been built on passive defense..."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan gently moved his arm, and a purple-gold light shone on it.

As the storm descended, Lin Yuan simply plunged his hand into the silver light, and immediately heard a series of ear-piercing tearing and churning sounds.

The next second, Lin Yuan pressed down with his palm.

The silver light abruptly stopped, then reformed into a human form. And a steady hand had already landed on Osius's shoulder.

"The company uses it to maintain order..."

Lin Yuan pressed down on the other person's shoulder, then exerted force with his feet.

A purple-gold light spread downwards from beneath his feet, and Lin Yuan gently landed on the side of the canyon with Osius.

"It's absolute power."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening sound of rocks collapsing echoed, and with the rising dust, the remaining canyon corridor completely vanished.

Seeing this, Osius fell silent.

After a long while, he raised his head slightly.

"So, this is [storage]?"

......

Chapter 96 Agreement Reached

The contest ended quickly and simply.

All the onlookers saw were a few flashes of silver light, and then, with the collapse of the corridor and the flying dust, the outcome was decided.

But only those involved truly know the extent of the danger lurking within these moves.
