Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 468 Turning into Green Smoke
Ai Liang is currently located in the Pacific Ocean. The attack methods he has at hand, which would cause devastating damage to the geological environment, will not have any impact on the Asian Alliance.

Ai Liang can let loose and cause a ruckus without restraint.

There's no need to worry too much about whether it will cause a tsunami.

Since the countermeasures bureau chose this location for the battle, it means they have a way to quell the tsunami.

Even if all else fails, there's always telekinesis to fall back on.

Faced with this scene of lasers raining down, the Thousand-Faced Man could no longer remain calm.

A thought came to mind.

Janus's half-crying, half-laughing mask and the tyrant's maniacal laughing mask were both covering his face at the same time.

As the creator of the masks, the Thousand-Faced Man can naturally use all the masks of the Apostles and borrow some of their abilities through the masks.

The thousand-faced man dons his mask, and the beam of light appears—all in an instant.

Beams of light bombarded the spatial barrier, nearly breaking through Janus's spatial blockade.

The Man of a Thousand Faces could not stand idly by and watch the spatial blockade be destroyed. Using his mask as a springboard, he unleashed his spatial abilities to create a vast expanse of azure spatial portals in the sky.

Each spatial gate corresponds to a pillar of light, and on the other side of the spatial gate is a vast, empty sea.

Click.

Cracks appeared on the half-crying, half-laughing mask representing Janus. With a gentle touch, the mask shattered and fell off like sandstone eroded by the wind, turning to ashes in mid-air.

Creating these spatial portals represents the limit of the power that Masked Man could unleash, even with the enhancement of Thousand Faces' abilities.

In return, the mask was permanently destroyed.

Boom! Crash!
First, plumes of water vapor rose from the distant sea, followed by shockwaves that carried seawater, forming giant waves tens of meters high.

Although the Thousand-Faced Man used the spatial gate to redirect most of the attacks, a small portion of the beams of light still shot straight toward him.

Fang Donghai's reaction speed is what it is; being able to dodge one beam of light doesn't mean he can dodge several at the same time.

Therefore, the Thousand-Faced Man never intended to dodge in the first place.

While maintaining his mental shield, he pushed the tyrant's maniacal laughter mask to its limit.

Four beams of light fell simultaneously.

The mental shield lasted for less than five seconds before a hole was melted through it.

But this bought the man with a thousand faces valuable time.

Just because a tyrant can withstand high-temperature rays of tens or hundreds of thousands of degrees doesn't mean that a mask possessing some of his abilities can do the same.

The Man of a Thousand Faces was merely using the tyrant's maniacal laughter mask to minimize the damage as much as possible.

Swish!
A blinding white light pierced through the body of the Thousand-Faced Man, striking the spatial barrier and creating ripples.

On the chest of the Thousand-Faced Man, a large hole with a diameter of nearly thirty centimeters appeared.

His body began to gradually disintegrate, turning into black smoke.

The Man of a Thousand Faces looked down at his chest: "Sigh, is this all the masked body can achieve...?"

From the moment their talks broke down until now, less than a minute has passed.

Ai Liang simply stood still and dealt with the opponent by focusing electromagnetic radiation.

This was not unexpected for Ai Liang.

If Ai Liang hadn't wanted to hide her telekinetic abilities, she could have instantly twisted the Thousand-Faced Man opposite her into juice.

If it takes him half a day to put on a mask, he might as well not bother trying to settle scores with the Man of a Thousand Faces and just dig a hole and bury himself in it.

"It seems you're very concerned about what happened before."

The disintegration of Fang Donghai's body was inevitable. The Thousand-Faced Man sighed helplessly, "Strictly speaking, the person who controlled Xu Zhihai's body at that time was only an avatar of mine, not my original body."

Many of my clones are independent entities with different consciousnesses, and I won't know what they went through until they dissipate..."

"What are you trying to say?" Ai Liang asked.

"It's nothing, I just sincerely hope you can join my Apostles."

The Thousand-Faced Man said with unusual sincerity, "I am willing to apologize for what my clone did back then. If you accept it, I am also willing to pay the corresponding price, so..."

"There's no need for that. I don't intend to get involved in your affairs."

Ai Liang interrupted the Thousand-Faced Man: "Whether it's the Countermeasures Bureau or the Apostle Society, I won't offend others unless they offend me. You'd better never show your faces in front of me again, otherwise..."

Ai Liang glanced meaningfully at the plasma stream overhead, which stretched for tens of meters: "I don't mind moving around a bit."

The Thousand-Faced Man ignored Ai Liang's last sentence and stared intently at him: "I think you may have some misunderstanding about the reason I invited you."

The disintegration of Fang Donghai's body had begun to spread from his limbs to his main body.

Just as the pain was about to spread to his heart, lungs, and head, the Thousand-Faced Man's voice remained perfectly calm: "I invited you to join the Apostles' Council not for reasons of combat strength."

The Countermeasures Bureau, the Investigation Bureau, the Sea Heart Society... In my eyes, these human organizations are as weak as infants in swaddling clothes. Keeping them around is just for fun.

I've been inviting apostles to join the Apostle Council, simply to find some companions to jointly face the coming of the eerie era, especially you, after all, you..."

Before the Thousand-Faced Man could speak, the last piece of his body turned into green smoke and dissipated in mid-air.

Ai Liang scoffed at this, "Ha, just making a fuss."

Whether the Thousand-Faced Man is telling the truth or not, it has nothing to do with me.

If the arrival of the bizarre era is a hoax, then we should just live our lives as usual.

If the arrival of a bizarre era is real, with my abilities, I will only thrive even more in this world.

The law of the jungle is the nature of the world.

Ai Liang's own strength is undeniable; as the world descends into chaos, his status will only rise accordingly.

After dealing with the Thousand-Faced Man's clones, Ai Liang glanced at Jin Ping'an, who had fallen into a coma due to his inability to adapt to the high-altitude environment.

Having experienced a series of mind-blowing events and suffered physical harm from a harsh environment.

The guy finally passed out, just as he had hoped.

Ai Liang used telekinesis to lift him up by the collar, making it look from a distance like she had bought two green onions from the supermarket and carried them back in a shopping bag.

The external battle has ended, but the internal battle continues.

Although the exact location of the Thousand-Faced Man is unknown, it will likely take him some time to reconnect with his consciousness.

Ai Liang decided to take advantage of this time to help Xia Qiyuan.

I was invited by the Countermeasures Bureau to help, after all.

Although Ai Liang's mission would be complete as long as she could hold off the Thousand-Faced Man.

But the current situation is clearly beyond Xia Qiyuan's expectations.

It's a bit unreasonable to just stand by and watch.

Therefore, Ai Liang, who had exceeded the mission target, planned to use his mental power to traverse space and interfere with Janus, forcing him to open a gap in the sealed space.

Just as Ai Liang was about to make her move, a sudden change occurred.
