Infinite Doomsday Escape

Chapter 455 The Island Lord Makes a Move
The island owner's index finger trembled slightly, his composure shattered in an instant.

It really is a time-space ability!!!
His coming to the battlefield after revealing his strength was not in vain.

The island owner pushed up his glasses to conceal the overwhelming greed in his eyes.

His refined and scholarly face, reflected in the light of the air waves, gradually twisted into a smile. His face, refracted in shadow, seemed to ripple out like a terrifying beast, stretching its massive body.

No one can resist the allure of time-space abilities, especially for a gluttonous beast like him whose greed is insatiable.

*
Time and space, these two concepts seem to be solidified in Lan Xiaye's world, becoming physical entities for her to capture and understand.

Giant clocks, some large and some small, some perfectly round and some floating in twisted shapes.

Among the clocks, chess pieces are scattered in a matrix pattern across various locations.

Lan Xiaye picked up a chess piece and felt a large area of ​​space fluctuate.

"I see," Lan Xiaye realized. The image of time is a clock, and the image of space is a chess piece or a chessboard.

A spatial node, like a chess piece, can influence a large area or even the entire chessboard.

After comprehending the ability to manipulate time and space, the clocks and chess pieces scattered throughout this world gradually faded away.

When Lan Xiaye opened her eyes again, a huge floor-to-ceiling window came into view.

Outside the window, some dreamy starlight suddenly dissipated like mist, revealing the indistinct figures of people walking downstairs.

Lan Xiaye glanced at the crowd, her expression turning serious. Besides some unfamiliar faces, she also saw an unexpected person—the island lord of Taotie.

He actually followed me here!
Instead, the snow woman who should have been waiting there was nowhere to be seen.

Lan Xiaye's heart was pounding, and a sense of unease was spreading through her.

"System, where is the Snow Woman?" Lan Xiaye knew that the current situation was definitely related to the Snow Woman.

The dedicated system remained silent on this matter: [I cannot disclose the privacy of other warriors.]

Lan Xiaye stopped asking questions, because in the short time that had passed, the people outside the window had already reacted.

They quickly discovered the mysterious medium spreading out and rushed into the building one by one.

The fastest among them was a refined-looking man wearing non-prescription glasses. He was incredibly fast, rushing into the building at the speed of light in an instant.

The extreme speed interfered with people's vision, leaving them with only a slightly distorted afterimage.

Those who were a step behind looked at each other in bewilderment: Although the Snow Woman's reward was generous, was it really necessary to go to such lengths?
The moment Lan Xiaye saw the figure move through the window, she took action.

A black hole formed behind her in an instant; she could step into it with just a turn and teleport away.

At the same time, endless crackling lightning bolts rained down violently, relentlessly bombarding the interior of the building.

Lan Xiaye frowned deeply, "The main god stipulates that fighting is prohibited in the transit zone!"

The mechanical voice of the dedicated system revealed a hint of urgency: [He found a loophole! These lightning bolts look powerful, but they're actually harmless; they only paralyze people, rendering them unable to move. This level of attack doesn't violate the rules of the main god.]

—He wanted to forcibly take me to the battlefield!
He wants to forcibly take you to the battlefield and kill you.

Lan Xia Ye's thoughts and the voice of the exclusive system overlapped here.

[Run!] The system is urgent. [I'll immediately apply for your transfer to the next battlefield.]

Once Lan Xiaye dies, her exclusive system will be reclaimed, erasing her gradually emerging self-awareness.

The exclusive system and the warrior are always in a relationship of shared glory and shared loss. Lan Xia Ye didn't utter a sound. The area in front of the black hole was covered with a net of lightning strong enough to paralyze her, blocking her path.

She stared coldly at the island lord who was gradually appearing before her.

With a wave of his hand, the island lord created an endless network of lightning along the edge of the building on this floor, preventing others from entering.

Lan Xiaye can only be his!

[You can't beat him. He's a cunning old fox. He could have surpassed the god level long ago, but he's been hiding in the lower realm, plotting something far ahead. You'd better leave quickly!] The personal system was in a panic.

The information revealed by the exclusive system made Lan Xiaye's breath catch in her throat, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.

The island owner didn't give Lan Xiaye any time to talk. The violent lightning changed again, forming thunderclouds that filled the entire interior of the building.

Lan Xiaye had nowhere to avoid it. The island lord was confident of victory, and a giant hand formed from water elements reached out to grab her.

Water conducts electricity, further amplifying the spread of lightning.

Just when the island lord thought Lan Xiaye couldn't escape his grasp, the space inside seemed to shatter, cracking open.

The space near the rift began to distort and become extremely unstable, and the electric light wandering around was constantly weakened until it disappeared.

Lan Xiaye glanced at the island lord, then suddenly relaxed and leaned back.

A massive spatial vortex suddenly appeared, engulfing Lan Xiaye's figure.

The island lord tried to stop him, but found that the spatial repulsion around Lan Xiaye was extremely strong, and he was unable to mobilize the surrounding elements for a short period of time.

In the short time that was delayed, Lan Xiaye had already teleported away safely.

"Heh—" The island lord's supernatural powers dissipated, and recalling Lan Xia Ye's provocative departure, he suddenly let out a cold laugh.

*
A white vortex of space opened and closed on an unfamiliar street, exhaling a human figure.

The system was as if granted a pardon: [We actually escaped!]

Lan Xiaye chuckled, "You seem to have revealed a lot of amazing information just now."

She was referring to the fact that the exclusive system knew the island lord possessed god-level strength, yet had been slow to complete the god-level mission.

The dedicated system has started to play dead.

“Since his strength has reached the god level, finding me should be very easy for him,” Lan Xiaye said.

The exclusive system remained silent, and Lan Xiaye was not in a hurry. She continued, "He was able to escape smoothly just now because of the restrictions at the transit station, which prevented him from going all out, and also because he underestimated his opponent."

"What about the next time we meet? And the time after that? I'm not confident that I can make a safe retreat every time."

【…】

“We are bound together by fate. If I die, you will be taken back.” Lan Xiaye guessed this from the urgency of the exclusive system just now. “And without your full cooperation, it will be difficult for me to stay ahead of others in this perilous world.”

"Only if we trust each other and support each other wholeheartedly can we survive to the end and climb to the top step by step." Lan Xiaye's eyes softened, her usually cold gaze now as gentle and sincere as a thawing lake.

Coercion and inducement, proceeding step by step.

Lan Xiaye spoke sincerely, every word so earnest, striking a chord with the mind where the exclusive system was gradually taking shape.

Seeing such an excellent, calm, and promising bound person speaking from the heart to it, the exclusive system felt both moved and comforted, completely forgetting the rules and regulations of the main system.
