Zhou Yi had mobilized all his forces this time, totaling 46 Black Samurai and 104 samurai crabs, all participating in the battle against the Breaker.

The more the number, the better it is not.

His personal experience was that the limit for issuing orders and receiving feedback to other individuals at the same mind-link synchronization frequency was 150. Attempting to go beyond that number would leave Zhou Yi's own brain a blank.

Therefore, he had groped his way to enhance the quality on the basis of quantity limitations, namely, evolving samurai crabs into the higher-order Black Samurai using Light Seeds.

It's just that the company was in its infancy, the samurai crabs were needed everywhere, so their enhancement kept getting postponed.

Now that they had encountered the Breaker, there was no more time to prepare.

While the Breaker had not yet recovered and grown further, this was the best opportunity for combat.

The damaged Bird's Eye View hovering at low altitude communicated through mind-link synchronization, "I still think, you're just being too aggressive."

Aggressive?

Zhou Yi thought to himself, you don't know what Red Kestrel just suggested.

"We could use two enhanced ships loaded with the remaining explosive mushrooms to lure and damage the enemy at sea, then the main forces could attack the Dark Domain from behind. Enough to create a time difference, taking the initiative."

It's just that since they had just harvested a batch, they had to give up on this idea due to the seriously insufficient quantity of remaining explosive mushrooms.

Back then, Red Kestrel was the team leader of the rescue team, and Bird's Eye View was just a soldier, it seems we've found the reason why.

The gap in seizing opportunities between the two was clear.

Zhou Yi simply hadn't expected that Bird's Eye View was resolute about joining the expedition.

"Although I'm not a combat model, my 'Survey' ability can provide real-time information about the enemy, which will definitely be of help to you."

Red Kestrel mercilessly exposed it: "It needs to gather more intelligence so that, should we be defeated, it can relay this precious information back to Chuneng City, enabling a better response in the aftermath."

"In the past, Bird's Eye View had always been a pessimist in the rescue team, always expecting each operation to fail first and being well-prepared for failure, this is also a way to face missions with low success rates."

"..."

Bird's Eye View did not refute.

Zhou Yi felt relieved; at least pessimists are not the surrendering type, and being somewhat useful is good enough.

Moreover.

Bird's Eye View indeed provided a great deal of precious firsthand information.

Things like the Breaker's form, means of attack, destructive power, and skill effects were critical to combat.

The special combat team silently marched towards their destination at full speed.

En route, Zhou Yi also noticed something amiss.

The sea floor was now full of deep pits, uniformly cone-shaped, with shattered bones scattered around the edges of the pits.

Red Kestrel scanned the area.

Whether it was the most common Bone Fish or the extremely fast thorny birds, the deception and escape experts Bubble Fish, and even the D-class Red Monster and the C-class long-necked crocodile had all vanished without a trace.

The nearby Guangna Species had also disappeared.

Only one symbol of life was still blinking—a red dot on a high overpass, precisely the Breaker.

With the information given by Bird's Eye View, a conclusion was imminent.

The Breaker could only move around near the Dark Domain, after slaughtering a vast number of Dead Sea creatures, it even began digging three feet into the ground in search of Bone Fish that had buried themselves deep underground to hibernate.

Such desperate behavior infuriated Zhou Yi.

They are my fish, the fish I've raised!

I usually even hesitate to strike at them heavily, but you come and exterminate them all, you little bastard deserve to die.

"We're here."

With a reminder from Red Kestrel, Zhou Yi ordered the troops to halt.

The camera feed on the remote control was clear; a giant black hand was slowly extending from beneath the bridge in the Dark Domain, with twelve long and curling fingers swaying slowly in the Dead Sea.

It was like a giant reaching into an invisible box from the outside, trying to grasp something inside.

According to Bird's Eye View's intelligence, this black hand was the Breaker's projection entity, and the arm-like structure behind it was its connection to the Dark Domain, capable of stretching to great lengths.

Here, signals were blocked by some force, preventing communication.

Zhou Yi immediately began to move his arms, pressing his legs, "Hunter, as soon as it enters the attack interval, we attack. I'll hold it down."

The spherical Hunter said, "Chairman, I can hold it down! I'm capable now, at least it can't kill me in one hit."

"Follow orders."

Zhou Yi twisted his neck, "You just hit it hard, that's right."

If the Hunter became the meat shield, who would be dealing the damage?

The reason for bringing it was to serve as an artillery platform.

Red Kestrel said, " 'Bird's Eye View' is ineffective against the Breaker, I cannot provide more intelligence. It has already noticed us."

"No problem."

Zhou Yi pinched his fingers, "You and Bird's Eye View keep in communication and synchronize the information it captures with me."

Fortunately, within this area, mind-link synchronization was not affected.

The commander had warmed up.

Zhou Yi lowered his center of gravity and charged toward the Breaker's black hand.

That inter-dimensional life form also reached out to grab him.

Previously, Zhou Yi had been specifically drawing aggro, acting as both commander and damage-absorbing meat shield, while the samurai crabs launched attacks and reaped the battlefield.

Before coming, they had already determined the strength of the Breaker.

Its power rating was B+, with a type of sustained damage, combined with its information lock and increased damage detonation, it was the type that grew stronger as the battle progressed.

Aside from Jade City, which couldn't go under the sea, and the Hunter, who was needed as the main striker, Zhou Yi's body had the highest defensive strength.

He had to stand firm.

There's always risk in combat.

Zhou Yi tried to get up close and personal with the Breaker, but at a certain distance, the twelve fingers started shining a white light, rapidly firing at him, within the light bullet's core, were little black spheres.

He deftly raised his fists to guard his head.

Amid the clinking and clanking of impacts, real-time feedback was transmitted to his body.

-5

-3

-7

…

Despite the high speed of the shots, they were too weak; for Zhou Yi with a defense of 425 points, it was nothing more than mosquito bites.

He knew this was the opponent's probing.

Zhou Yi wasn't in a rush; he first withstood the damage to observe the enemy.

Quickly, he noticed that the high-frequency attacks could actually stack. When those black spheres concentrated on one point and hit repeatedly, it would result in a combo-like effect, with cumulative damage.

But as long as one moved slightly, the combo accumulation could be broken.

Besides, Zhou Yi discovered that after hitting the body, the black balls smeared, turning into a blot of black stain.

He sensed no negative effects.

And these black balls felt greasy, much like a part of the Breaker's body.

Could it be...

Zhou Yi suddenly saw the Breaker fully open all twelve of its fingers in all directions.

In the palm opened a silver geometric pattern composed of spirals and radial lines, which instantly triggered a high-pressure shockwave radiating through the surrounding space.

Being the closest, Zhou Yi felt his body cracking, accompanied by a dull pain all over.

-1000

The Breaker's attack had pierced his defenses, causing his life value to drop by nearly 600 points.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The black stains on Zhou Yi's body detonated in a secondary explosion due to the shockwave, resulting in a high-temperature corrosion effect, and scorched sensations appeared on every hit area of his body.

-1

-1

…

His life faced direct damage bypassing his defenses.

Though it only forcibly deducted 1 point, it disregarded defense, and as many black spots as there were, that many would simultaneously cause stackable damage.

This round of black spot detonations inflicted more than 500 points of damage to his life value, and together with the shockwave, in total took away 10% of his life.

Zhou Yi immediately realized,

Whether it was high frequency attack mode or the heavy firepower area bombardment mode, both could mark black spots, both could detonate to cause high damage.

Not bad.

He activated his "Stretching" ability to slither toward the Breaker during its attack pause.

Behind him, the dreadful Death Light lit up.

The Death Light released by Lie Hai's "Light Prism Outer Bone" hit the Breaker, severing two of its fingers which fell to the ground. This caused the Breaker's amputated fingers to move somewhat uncoordinatedly, yet it didn't show any signs of pain or anger.

Zhou Yi wrapped those two severed fingers and threw them behind him, to prevent the possibility of the limbs reattaching.

"Attack the connectors behind!"

He issued the command when the Breaker suddenly went berserk, spraying a vast number of black balls in all directions, in a crazed fashion.

However, in the next second, it contracted at high speed, slipping back into the Dark Domain Void under the bridge.

The scene fell silent for two seconds.

The Red Kestrel flew over, circling left and right somewhat uncertainly: "It… It's run away?"

Zhou Yi sighed, "What a pity."

The Breaker was very cautious and cunning, quickly retreating at the sign of risk.

When they realized they were facing a do-or-die situation, even the formidable Guangna Species would choose to temporarily steer clear.

Because it wasn't worth it.

Injuries required a significant amount of energy to replenish, and the cost of killing the enemy was too great.

Fighting meant not fearing death, otherwise, tough battles couldn't be fought.

"You are stronger than I imagined..." Red Kestrel commented, "Facing such a formidable enemy, you still led the charge, no wonder your company's cohesion is impressive."

Zhou Yi then turned his attention back to the two black fingers on the seabed.

Are these things of any use?

He picked one up, feeling the heavy energy inside.

They also couldn't condense Light Seeds, seemingly lacking certain key elements necessary to form a specific structure. According to the rules of the Dead Sea, it wouldn't take long for this energy to dissipate.

Red Kestrel suddenly transmitted mentally through the consciousness channel, "The Breaker remnants and explosive mushrooms share a high similarity – both lack independent consciousness and are high-density compressed energy forms."

Zhou Yi's eyes brightened.

That's worth a try.

He had the Hunter to remotely monitor the Breaker while he led the team back.

…

Standing in the elevator to Jade City, Zhou Yi saw the black fingers gradually shriveling up, while Light Seeds kept falling from the wall, bringing a smile to his face.

It really worked.

Jade City could extract energy from the Breaker remnants just like it extracted from explosive mushrooms.

The two severed fingers brought Zhou Yi 6400 points worth of Light Seeds, and the completely disintegrated remnants turned into a pile of Light Soot Sand.

Zhou Yi's motivation maxed out.

Breaker, you have done much evil, it's time for you to drop Gold Coins!
