The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1257 Victory leads to glory, defeat leads to death.

"it is as expected!"

The events that happened to Zhang Su confirmed many of his previous speculations.

The giant sphere wasn't targeting him, but rather the mysterious entity that provided him with power. As for why the giant sphere did this, considering its previous actions in helping Chen Hanzhou "exorcise demons," it was probably to absorb this special energy!
After figuring out the matter, Zhang Su felt a little relieved, thinking that the mysterious power should protect him just like in his dream!
Although he thought this way, Zhang Su could not rely entirely on the help of the mysterious power. Now that he had regained his freedom, he was bound to run away!

As for a counterattack... that's pure wishful thinking. Only the ignorant are fearless. From what he knows, the light sphere is powerful enough and is definitely not something he can easily shake.

It's inconvenient to use the Remote Stop Technique in the air, so I can't worry about that and just turn around and run away!
A leap of tens of meters in an instant—unfortunately, that seems far too naive to the larger planet…

Less than a second after the mysterious entity released its power and broke free from the beam of light, the large sphere slammed into it, causing the beam of light to shorten. With a violent impact, space shook, and Zhang Su felt his internal organs tremble.

Fortunately, he did not break through the spatial barrier around him, and he remained free.

"They're chasing us way too closely!"

He couldn't give up and continued to flee into the distance, but unfortunately, this wasn't a contest between him and the giant ball, so his role was minimal.

The giant sphere followed closely, striking again and again, breaking through the space created by the mysterious entity and imprisoning Zhang Su within the beam of light once more.

"what!"

Unlike before, this time after being restrained, Zhang Su was not unable to move as before. His body was not restricted, and he could jump and run freely, but the surrounding scenery remained motionless, as if he had been thrown into a folded space.

No matter how he moved, the surrounding space kept folding towards his location, trapping him firmly in place, while the glowing sphere locked onto him, appearing right in front of him!

"This is exactly the same scene as in my dream!"

Zhang Su shook his head, and the glowing sphere followed him like a shadow, without any trajectory, as if it were a floating image etched on his retina.

"Finally, the dream has become reality. What if I... ugh!"

Zhang Su plopped down, intending to activate the strengthening technique. In dreams, doing this would kick him out of the dream, but this time was different.

Perhaps the glowing sphere sensed his intentions and struck first!
An indescribable feeling instantly enveloped Zhang Su, as if his body was in a negative pressure space, and the powerful suction was about to pull out his internal organs and brain!
The concepts of strong force, weak force, and strong-weak interaction seem to be causing even the molecules and atoms in our bodies to become disordered...

Sitting cross-legged in the air, Zhang Su was completely unable to resist the suction force exerted by the glowing sphere. Without needing to activate it, another force within him desperately resisted it. Clearly, that mysterious force refused to yield to the sphere!
"You don't want me to do it, but I'll do it anyway!"

With his body enjoying a brief respite, Zhang Su seized the opportunity to assume the five-center-up-the-sky sitting posture once more and quickly began to circulate the strengthening technique!

He had figured it out. The enhancement method absorbed the energy dissipated from the glowing sphere, which not only strengthened himself, but also helped the mysterious entity within him and repaired his icy heart.

Meanwhile, the glowing sphere also wanted to seize the mysterious entity within him!
Zhang Su didn't know if the light emanating from the large sphere could be absorbed, but he knew that if the power within his body were drained, he would probably be in trouble!

This is a contest of mutual struggle, and the outcome may be the difference between life and death. He cannot sit idly by and wait for his death.

Sure enough, when the enhancement method worked smoothly, amazing changes occurred in his body.

The characters symbolizing various abilities, the energy bar, the spare energy gauge, and the icy heart all emitted a shimmering glow, while simultaneously reflecting his power to resist the glowing sphere.

The struggle in the dream was just a small-scale test; this time, it's a real showdown!
Previously, Zhang Su tragically thought that his body was merely a battlefield for the two sides to compete, but now he realized that he actually had the ability to participate in the battle. Since that's the case, then he would do his best to fight for it!
After gaining power, his growth rate quickly surpassed that of others. This was an opportunity, but now it's time to pay the price!
Successfully surviving this hurdle will lead to a brighter future; failure will mean fading into oblivion under the dark night sky.

The force pulled the luminous sphere, causing its surface to change. Light armor appeared, and mysterious runes and lines covered the surface!

Seeing this, Zhang Su became even more determined, because the big ball was not having an easy time either, and was also fighting hard to obtain the entity inside him!
The two sides were locked in a stalemate in the air, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"What on earth happened?!" On the aircraft carrier deck, Zheng Xinyu looked up, tears streaming down her face, and a long trail of blood at the corner of her mouth.

From Zhang Su's perspective, it seemed like he hadn't flown very far or high, but from Zheng Xinyu's point of view, Zhang Su was already thousands of meters in the air, and she could barely see him anymore. All she knew was that the person she was thinking of was in the light spots.

Let alone a kilometer, even a hundred meters is a distance that inspires despair. Faced with a technological civilization that surpasses our understanding, everything seems pale and powerless.

From the ground, the sphere of light and the person in the air appear to be stationary, but in reality, they are colliding fiercely. If there is any further movement, it may be the time to determine the winner!
"Oh... Ouch, that hurts!"

Just then, Chen Hanzhou woke up groggily, one hand covering his head and the other touching his cheek, his expression full of pain.

"Xiao Chen, quick! Brother Su has been hit into the sky by that big ball! Think of any way to help him!"

Zheng Xinyu was excited when she heard Chen Hanzhou's voice. Finally, someone could give her some advice. For someone who lacks assertiveness, making decisions on her own is too difficult.

"Sister-in-law? Yes, I remember now, Brother Su is here. You, you guys... Ouch, that hurts. I remember, I can't remember. I think I just saw Brother Su hit me?"

Chen Hanzhou's mind was a complete mess; fragmented images floated before his eyes, but he couldn't piece them together at all.

"Calm down and listen to me!"

Zheng Xinyu pressed her hands down to signal Chen Hanzhou to be quiet, and then recounted what had happened to Zhang Su, omitting the details of Chen Hanzhou being slapped and having his mysterious black energy drained.

"Ah, really?"

Chen Hanzhou was a little confused. Hearing such a simple yet unbelievable piece of information, he asked a silly question.

Looking up at the sky, sure enough, there was a thumb-sized spot of light floating in the dark sky, and it seemed that a figure was vaguely wrapped in it.

Turning my head again, the giant ball on the sea had vanished without a trace.

"No, no, this... why did the light sphere kidnap Brother Su?"

Chen Hanzhou finally believed the unbelievable fact, jumped up on the spot, his eyes wide open, clear and without a trace of black mist.

"That big ball was originally at sea, but suddenly it flew up and came straight at us. Actually... it attacked you first, pulling out a black thing from your body! Then it turned its attention to Brother Su!"

Zheng Xinyu still recounted Chen Hanzhou's ordeal.

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hanzhou was greatly alarmed. He raised his hand to touch his chest and abdomen, and his expression changed drastically. Before Zheng Xinyu could even notice, he realized that the mysterious black energy in his body had indeed weakened considerably!

"If... I think I know what that shark-arm ball is going to do!"

Chen Hanzhou raised his head with an extremely ugly expression.

"what?"

"It has its eye on the power within me and Brother Su, and wants to take it for itself!"

Chen Hanzhou gritted his teeth. His pursuit of power was almost obsessive. At the same time, he was also very clear that his boss had a secret. Combining these factors, it was not difficult to find the answer, but the answer was quite cruel!
Feeling the thin black energy within his body, Chen Hanzhou felt like crying but had no tears left. He clenched his fists and looked up at the sky.

"Brother Su, you have to win! Help me get my stuff back!"
