Capítulo 614: Chapter 535: Restart (4K)

“Hiss——Whoosh——”

Reyes took a sharp breath, propping himself up with his hands, his eyes trembling as he looked around.

The place where he lay was still the mountainous terrain torn apart by the high-temperature plasma streams.

The molten lava had long since solidified and turned black. Judging by the hardening, it had been dozens of hours since he fell unconscious.

Similarly, Mian Yue, Mushroom King, Claudia, and others were slowly waking up. The first thing everyone did upon awakening was to check their lungs. Wanli Sealed Blade rasped, “Where’s Pifu?”

“I’m here.”

A voice came from behind the slope. Li Cheng held the Four-dimensional Square Box in his hand, and beside him was an astronaut who had regained his ability to move and was walking on his own legs.

Among the human players, Reyes had been unconscious early on, just like falling asleep in a math class, completely unaware of what happened afterward.

Meanwhile, Claudia and Wanli Sealed Blade, their eyelids were twitching violently, vaguely guessing— the mission required installing the Annihilation Device at a designated location,

and without a trip to the Land of Beautiful Dreams, the comatose astronaut would very likely be “unable to install” it.

Only by personally experiencing and clearing the Land of Beautiful Dreams, awakening the individual consciousness of Astronaut Will, could the next step be initiated.

“Everyone, say ‘Sister Yu is awesome’.”

Gray Rain held her head high and puffed out her chest, approaching with genuine appreciation, “In the end, it all depends on me, I’ve tried too hard, taking a moment to rest my hands on my hips.”

Uh… earlier, when Gray Rain was on the beach eating seafood with coconut, she never forgot to keep listening to the radio signals.

Although no signals were received, she vaguely heard a clanging sound, and in the end, following the sound of hammering, she drilled open the few remaining centimeters of the metal dome, breaking through the barrier between two worlds.

“It’s enough to praise you.”

Li Cheng sighed, slightly turned his head, and said to Wanli Sealed Blade and others, “Prepare for battle.”

Battle? Against whom?

The surrounding colorful mist quickly dissipated, and the body of the Alpha Python emerged from the depths of the fog. It shook its head, breaking free from the influence of the illusion, and its mountain-like snake head looked down on the many players from high above.

Zero frame start, Alpha directly opened its snake mouth, brewing high-temperature plasma as dazzling and hot as solar panels.

Step.

At the critical moment, the astronaut stepped forward, raised his palm, and pointed distantly at the Alpha Python.

The fusion engine’s power plummeted, the plasma collapsed and disintegrated, leaking from the gaps between the snake’s jaws. Sparks erupted densely on various parts of the giant snake’s body, causing large sections of its structure to collapse and fall off.

This was not a powerful distortion; the players present did not sense Original Force or Telekinesis, but rather some more elusive…command.

Astronaut Will and Alpha were two sides of the same coin, both the essence left behind by the Level 40 Transcendent [Heavenly Enemy] from tens of thousands of years ago.

And when Will retrieved his memory and consciousness through the Land of Beautiful Dreams, he naturally became an entity of equivalence to Alpha, allowing him to dismantle the latter through the connection between them.

Crash——

The metal structure collapsed and fell like a landslide, leaving only 70% of the snake’s head, one eyeball dislodged from its socket. The massive body that once measured in “kilometers” further disintegrated, unable to support its own weight, collapsing with a thunderous crash,

Dust swirled, White Horse Tombstone’s pupils contracted sharply, and with a lateral kick, he punted the bewildered Griffin hundreds of meters away, simultaneously using the recoil to throw himself back.

Almost the moment both vacated their original spots, a dazzling white light shot out from within the dust, splitting the dirt slope in two, carving a deep chasm.

Most of Alpha’s body had disintegrated, leaving only the snake’s head and the metallic skeleton of its neck. The fusion engine within the skeleton flickered intermittently but did not extinguish.

“…”

Astronaut Will collapsed from exhaustion, falling backward. Li Cheng grabbed him, throwing him into the co-pilot seat of the Edge Fighter, while he and Gray Rain jumped onto the craft, glancing at the Casio wristwatch.

Wanli Sealed Blade’s mission [Armed Escort] required the protection of the Four-dimensional Square Box for 48 hours. Now, only 5 minutes remained.

“Hold it back,”

Li Cheng’s hands moved like lightning, quickly setting the course on the fighter jet’s control panel, shouting without looking back, “Buy me five minutes!”

“Five minutes is too short, how about I hold Alpha back for the duration of one ‘King of Love Songs’?!”

Wanli Sealed Blade loudly complained, yet his actions were not slow, slashing with the Dragon Slayer Sword to unleash a powerful strike.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that even though Alpha Python had self-destructed to just a head, it was still too formidable for the players. The mere residual heat emitted by its fusion engine incinerated the tattooed army Reyes summoned and the arrows shot by Mian Yue.

“Leave it to me.”

White Horse Tombstone’s voice was as calm as an ancient well. This wasn’t the Land of Beautiful Dreams; death here was real. She fiercely drove the stone coffin into the ground, slapping the lid away, and stared into the corpse of herself at Level 35 in the future.

She and her decaying corpse simultaneously stretched their hands, fingers interlocking, merging as one. Her presence surged with increasing force!

With one foot stomped on the ground, creating a 20-meter crater, her form leaped high, her decayed right arm revealing bone, delivering an uppercut to Alpha’s lower jaw, forcefully interrupting the beam of light aimed at the Edge Fighter.

Claudia unleashed a blood river, Reyes summoned the avatar of the war god again, and a host of Transcendents displayed their abilities, pinning Alpha firmly in place.

The Edge Fighter, carrying Li Cheng and Astronaut Will, sped towards the crystalline forest they had come from,
