CHAPTER 315: CHAPTER 206 THAT SUMMER, I BECAME LIGHT TOO (5000 WORDS)

Qin Shou controlled the greedy snake as it skimmed above the ocean surface, the raging sea wind pounding against the energy shield, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on the moving dot on the communicator.

At this speed, it would take at least another half an hour to get out of Zeus Group’s territory.

Yet for some reason, the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger by the second.

He had never felt such unease before, not even back at the Mars Base during the siege by endless waves of alien armies. Back then, he hadn’t felt any pressing danger at all.

Could this opponent be even more terrifying than the Alien Queen?

Qin Shou shook his head. It shouldn’t be possible—the situations were different.

During the alien army’s siege on Mars Base, even if the Alien Queen managed to kill everyone, he had confidence in surviving alone, leveraging his cheat system.

At worst, he could hold on until Big Black Face returned.

But this time, the north was Zeus Group’s development area, the east led to the Merfolk Sea Region, the south was retreat, and the current direction he was heading in was the Demonic Group’s development area.

Zeus Group had likely already caught on and sent people to lie in wait, anticipating his arrival.

In the Merfolk Sea Region, he had impersonated Merfolk Royal Family several times; there was a chance the Merfolk had already caught wind of this.

Retracing his steps back to the south, he might instantly be captured the moment he appeared in the sea region by those highly vigilant, Unbreakable Realm experts whom he’d deceived badly before. After all, his possession of Merfolk beast cultivation wasn’t exactly a secret.

If he wasn’t caught immediately, Qin Shou could use the influence of the Beast Cultivation Main City to bluff his way out.

But in this area, he was the only one who possessed a Merfolk beast, and coincidentally appeared here.

No chances would be taken—they’d rather kill him wrongly than let him go. Qin Shou would certainly be secretly eliminated by these guys.

Passing through the Demonic Group’s development area now seemed like his safest route.

Even so, the ominous premonition lingering in Qin Shou’s heart refused to dissipate.

The greatest weakness of humanity is greed.

Qin Shou was human too. Having obtained such an incredible item on his first attempt, it was inevitable that he couldn’t resist trying a second time, then a third.

If Qin Shou had decisively abandoned this thought after his first success, he would already be home sleeping soundly now rather than ending up in this situation.

"Amitabha, cheat system, grant me your blessing. If I can return home safe this time, I promise to become a good man..."

Qin Shou muttered under his breath as he summoned the system interface.

If death was inevitable, he had to struggle to the very end.

[Light Energy Converter (10%)]+[Energy Absorption and Transformation Energy]+[Gigantification Cell]+[Giant Strength Cell]+[Instant Acceleration Device]+[Liquid Biological Metal]+[Energy Alarm]+[Anti-gravity Device]...

Even a Nightmare Level Hillbagon couldn’t give him a sense of security; all he could do was gamble this time.

If the Light Energy Converter worked as he envisioned, he might have a chance to save himself.

The Energy Absorption and Transformation Device could absorb external energy to enhance attacks or convert it into his own energy, boosting endurance.

The Gigantification Cell increased size.

The Giant Strength Cell increased strength.

The Instant Acceleration Device boosted speed.

Liquid Biological Metal was a biological component and an essential synthesis material.

When fused with the Light Energy Converter, Liquid Biological Metal could leverage its bio-essence conversion ability to transform bio-essence into light energy.

The Energy Alarm monitored anomalies within his body in real time; if there were any issues with the synthesized device, he could immediately abandon it.

Qin Shou’s fingers moved swiftly as he devoted all his focus to adjusting the virtual model.

...

Moments later, drenched in sweat, Qin Shou clicked on "synthesize."

The next moment, the communicator blinked rapidly, and an image from Kazek appeared. Qin Shou didn’t have time to think—he quickly activated the communicator to view the image.

Several kilometers away in the sky, three men clad in battle armor, their faces obscured, were hurtling toward him at full speed.

The three men tore through the wind, stirring visible, violent air currents, closing hundreds of meters of distance in the blink of an eye.

They instantly saw through Kazek’s invisibility state. The man in the middle, standing hundreds of meters away, gestured toward Kazek, unleashing chains formed of Star Power, which shot out and easily dragged Kazek into the Space Gate.

"Unbreakable Realm experts—not just One Star!"

Qin Shou frowned deeply, decisively retracting the greedy snake and plunging toward the desolate island below.

...

"Haha, this invisible mechanical monster is pretty interesting."

The man in crimson battle armor stored Kazek into his Space Wristwatch, a smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"Wait, what’s a mechanical monster doing here? Could it be... beast cultivation?"

Just as he was piecing it together, the man in black battle armor beside him suddenly exclaimed, "Liang, forget whether it’s beast cultivation—I’ve already sensed Qin Shou’s presence, right on that desolate island ahead!"

"What? Found him?"

Liu Liang was overjoyed. "Quick, split into three directions and surround the island. Don’t let him escape."

"Haha, no problem. With you leading, Liang, that kid won’t escape the palm of our hands."

"Exactly—a Vajra Realm kid like him, getting us three to act together, is already unprecedented..."

The two men sneered, but Liu Liang merely shook his head slightly.

"Don’t underestimate him. Though those three idiots from Zeus Group failed, the kid managing to hold out until Su Liang arrived shows he’s not simple."

With that, the three had already arrived above the desolate island.

The three exchanged glances, and two of the men flew to opposite ends of the island.

"Let’s begin!"

"Alright!"

The three nodded, unleashing various Star Powers from their bodies, effortlessly forming Star Power tornados ten meters in diameter that roared toward the desolate island.

"Boom..."

The three Star Power tornados slammed into the island, tearing through sand, soil, vegetation, and foliage, destroying everything in their path indiscriminately.
