Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 652 Secondary Curing
The orange shockwave streaked across the sky like a hot knife cutting through the atmosphere, and the shockwave from the explosion, even with Ai Liang's suppression, directly swept across the sky.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.

Without the protection of the atmosphere, countless marine creatures perished from cosmic radiation in that brief moment.

It's fortunate that this happened in the Arctic, a desolate and uninhabited place. If it had happened on the mainland, it's hard to imagine what kind of tragedy would have occurred.

Without hesitation, the magician solidified his spatial abilities, tore through the blockade with all his might, and teleported to the Tyrant's side. Then, he used teleportation again to take the Tyrant away from the original spot.

He looked at the wound on the tyrant's waist and abdomen, which was almost the size of a small bucket.

The eerie black substance was slowly wriggling and patching up the damaged parts, and it seemed that the injury was not very serious.

Before the magician could even catch his breath, the tyrant, who had his arm around his shoulder, said, "A part of my original body has been erased."

"What did you say?"

"The Hermit's attack can directly annihilate our bodies. My current strength is only about 90% of what it was before I was injured."

"If the attack had covered a larger area, I might be completely dead, the kind of dead that even Gaia couldn't save."

"But you can absorb energy, right? Why are you being..."

The magician started to speak instinctively, but he realized his mistake halfway through.

Ai Liang's previous attack was not an energy attack.

The scenes in the distance were merely the aftermath of the attack.

The bizarre immortality is relative.

Temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius can kill the supernatural, but it's not the only option.

Pure force can also destroy the supernatural, but using pure kinetic energy to destroy the supernatural requires an astronomical amount of kinetic energy, even for the weakest supernatural creature.

Compared to the energy annihilation method, it is completely a losing proposition.

The strange thing is like a monster in a game that reduces physical damage by 99.99%, but that doesn't mean it's immune to physical damage.

Even with extremely high physical damage, one can still be killed by physical attacks.

The magician raised his shield and looked at Ai Liang in the distance: "This is completely different from what Gaia said. What exactly is this power...?"

The tyrant glanced at the magician beside him: "It seems you know where his power comes from?"

"Perhaps I knew before."

The magician shook his head in denial, saying, "The only person who knows all the deeds of the hermit right now is Gaia."

"Yeah."

The tyrant didn't dwell on it much.

Since we can't learn about our opponents from the magician's intelligence, we'll learn about them gradually in actual combat.

The magician led the tyrant to escape into a telepathic connection; everything happened in an instant.

As soon as the two finished their conversation, another telekinetic spear gathered in the sky.

This time, Ai Liang used a physical product.

The telekinetic energy was attached to a rusty metal mast salvaged from the seabed.

Having gained experience from one attack, Ai Liang roughly grasped the power of the psychic spear.

This time, he decided not to restrain his telekinetic powers and instead detonate the telekinetic spear immediately upon hitting the target.

I believe that Travis, the apostle from the Countermeasures Bureau and the Special Affairs Bureau, will handle the aftermath.

Whoosh.

The metal mast rose upwards.

Ten thousand meters, twenty thousand meters... After arriving in outer space, the speed of the metal mast was pulled and propelled by telekinesis, and coupled with the Earth's own gravity, it continued to accelerate, carrying immense force as it crashed back onto the Earth's surface.

From a distance, the magician and the tyrant only saw a ball of light descending from the sky.

Spatial abilities are limited by telekinesis, preventing long-distance teleportation, and short-range blinking is not even enough to leave the center of attack immediately.

What's even more terrifying is that Ai Liang's attacks can clearly be adjusted at any time, so no matter how they blink, they will be hit head-on.

"Losing the initiative and falling into the opponent's rhythm will only lead to a series of mistakes."

The magician glanced at the tyrant standing guard beside him and sighed helplessly, "Are you ready to take this hit head-on?"

The tyrant ignored him.

Without further ado, the magician solidified the tyrant's abilities once again, following his solidified spatial abilities.

The telekinetic spear fell, and in an instant, all was silent.

The sounds of wind, water, and waves all vanished.

Or rather, the sounds produced by these vibrations were shattered by stronger shock waves.

Boom! ! !
A mushroom cloud made of seawater rose from the sea surface.

The telekinetic spear pushed through the seawater to reach the depths of the ocean, and the metal mast, imbued with telekinetic power, continued downwards until it pierced through the earth's crust.

As the psychic spear exploded, waves thousands of meters high mercilessly swallowed up ice floes, threatening to break out of the Arctic Ocean and sweep across the continent.

If you were to look at Earth from outer space, the Arctic Ocean would resemble a blooming blue flower, beautiful yet deadly.

........................

Inside the Arctic Circle, Ai Liang and the Apostles clashed violently, while three Apostles were also present on the outer perimeter.

Unlike the fierce battles within the circle, Travis, Gao Bin, and Xia Qiyuan, who are outside the circle, are simply keeping each other in check.

Travis kept his promise to Ai Liang and was responsible for stopping the Countermeasures Bureau's forces.

Gao Bin and Xia Qiyuan had no intention of interfering in the battle between Ai Liang and the Apostles. They were there to deal with the aftermath of the battle and to prevent the Special Bureau from interfering with Yue Yangyan's plans.

Both sides shared the same goal and felt they had perfectly accomplished their mission.

As the first loud bang rang out, Travis stared warily at Gao Bin and Xia Qiyuan as the clouds parted.

"It was quite a fierce battle. I heard that the Apostles' Council mobilized almost all of its members this time. Are you so confident that the Hermit can stop all the Apostles?"
"If the Hermit is defeated, your carefully cultivated DX test subjects, nurtured for many years, will be destroyed."

Even Gao Bin wouldn't fall for such an obvious test.

Of course, Gao Bin knew nothing about Project DX, and even if he was tricked, he couldn't reveal any information.

Xia Qiyuan's assigned task for him was simply to deal with the aftermath of the battle and prevent the tsunami from overflowing the Arctic Circle.

"That's an internal matter for us, what does it have to do with you?"

Xia Qiyuan retorted coldly to Travis.

"Your temper is still as volatile as ever. It's not like you're saying this because you can't even beat the new generation..."

Travis remained silent, his expression one of sympathy, but this only amplified the sarcasm.

However, Travis never imagined that the user of the Spirit Transformation Armor would even predecease Heat Death.

It wasn't because of the two Apostle-level beings' strange corruption, nor because of the discovery of a better successor.

It was simply bad luck that I ran into the man with a thousand faces.

The story of the Thousand-Faced Man killing He Jun back then did not spread. Within the Countermeasures Bureau, the number of people who knew about this incident could be counted on one hand.

Therefore, Travis was naturally unaware that the person standing in front of him was not He Jun but Xia Qiyuan.
