My Player 2

Chapter 408 Ebb Tide

Golden light slowly rose, like migrating fluorescent jellyfish, seizing the last days of summer and surfacing in the dead of night.

People stood on the pier, watching the fleeting beauty of the sea. A cool breeze dispelled the sweltering heat, and the sea breeze carried a faint salty smell. The bountiful autumn was just ahead, and everything was so pleasant.

Beautiful, fleeting, and dazzling.

Just as the sea breeze disperses the clouds in the sky, imprinting the countless stars onto the sea surface.

Of course, this is from an outsider's perspective.

The vine-man heard the other person utter a word, not in the common language of the Tree Sea, but fortunately, magic immediately translated it; it was just two words—

—The End.

Then, the overlapping space it constructed suddenly disappeared in a way it could not understand.

But how is this possible?

The space it created had ten layers. The flowerbed at the core of the formation was the most vulnerable, as it could be destroyed by a mortal with a shovel, so it was placed in the deepest layer.

To destroy its overlapping space, one must have the ability to tear through space, and then conquer it layer by layer. Each layer has different rules, and the space is filled with poisonous pollen. If one inhales too much, even an S-class being may be affected.

Even if the overlapping space is crushed, a large number of spatial fragments will still exist.

It's impossible that no trace was left behind!

Is it an illusion?

In his final moments, the vine-man could only come up with this one wrong answer.

The rising "jellyfish" touched it.

There was no pain, and no warning.

It didn't even realize it was dead before it vanished completely without a trace.

The jellyfish continued to rise, not very fast, and it felt like if I just sped up and ran away, I could leave these golden jellyfish behind.

The Colossus was too large to easily dodge. Its feet, like honeycomb briquettes, were pierced by the golden jellyfish, and its legs were not spared either. The entire illusion of the Colossus collapsed.

In mid-air, only a suspended platform remained.

It turns out that the 3,000-meter-tall Colossus was just a projection illusion. The Colossus that pierced the sky was actually just a platform full of firepower.

This is only reasonable.

An A-rank mechanic's magic power is limited, only able to cover a creation of a certain size. Any larger and they cannot amplify their magic power, rendering their cannon fire mortal and unable to harm high-ranking powerhouses.

The artillery platform bombarded the jellyfish relentlessly, but when it had no effect, it stopped all firepower, and the giant cannon in the center began to accumulate energy.

Ten seconds later, the cannon, hundreds of meters wide, unleashed its most powerful attack!
The laser beam, condensed to the point of being almost solid, with the power to pierce through the Earth's mantle, hurtled towards the jellyfish below, attempting to pierce it in one blow!
The jellyfish continued to rise, and the thick laser beam overhead, like flowing water, only dimmed it slightly.

The cloaked skeleton was momentarily dazed; it couldn't even tell whether the dimness was due to the jellyfish's energy being depleted or the laser beam being too dazzling.

But the jellyfish had already taken to the air.

The cloaked skull palm sliced ​​through space, attempting to teleport behind the 'God Thief'.

But instead of the space that should have been cut open, a golden jellyfish emerged, and the cloaked skull's crystal-clear skeleton, like salt dissolved in water, vanished silently in an instant.

【Steel-Splitting Slash】The souls of the dead are greatly alarmed.

He guessed that the guy must have some unknown source of confidence to dare to make a move.

But what exactly is this?

Spacetime, rules, origin...

The power he understood seemed like a joke in the face of these lithe jellyfish.

Without the slightest hesitation, [Steel Slash] slashed in front of him, leaving a black line that disappeared into the black ink.

……

The world of conflict, "Acalebon".

Public Starport.

From among the calligraphy scrolls hanging on the wall, a human holding a knife emerged.

[Steel Slash] Back on the ship, looking at the familiar layout of the cabin, and confirming that he was far away from the battlefield, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was less than 50 meters away from the jellyfish; if it had been any later—

My thoughts froze for a moment.

Because the golden jellyfish was only 40 meters away from him!

He unleashed another slash, transforming himself into a smaller world below. Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, he was fortunate to have his own—

"Do not!!!"

Sensing the jellyfish 30 meters below, [Steel Slash] panicked and ran for its life.

Another ink-black slash came down.

In an auction house in a certain fortress world, a crazed human rushed out from a calligraphy scroll that had failed to sell. He roared madly, then slashed out with a stroke of ink and charged inside.

The tide recedes.

All the light sank to the bottom of the sea, a period that ended there.

This is the end.

……

"Hey, if this move hadn't been banned back then, I would have monopolized the championship long ago."

The 'Thief God' sat on the ground to rest for a while before walking toward the unattended tree stump.

I've gained all the experience points, totaling 2642 million, which is quite a windfall.

But he was very unhappy.

In order to preserve this killer move, he and "Honeysuckle" tried it a total of 62 times.

Honeysuckle always dies, because in order to maximize damage, she has to activate her suicide attack first in order to instantly kill someone of the same level with her ultimate attack.

The cost of reviving in the arena alone took him over a million experience points.

The moves I went through so much trouble to prepare weren't meant to be used against a few mercenaries.

But he had no choice but to let it go.

Fino used only a little money to negate his ultimate move, which is really frustrating.

"The God Thief" arrived at the tree stump's rings, adjusted his mindset, stepped down, and returned to the first layer of the dream space.

The surrounding space is a distorted and disordered space, dominated by black, white and gray tones.

Even in a dreamlike space where demigods can get lost, there is no way to enter a second layer of space, even if you know there is one.

Fortunately, the "Thief God" was prepared. He took out a mechanical canary, wound it up a few times, and the little bird immediately came to life, flapping its wings and flying around.

Finally, the canary hung in one place, chirping and chattering at the void.

The 'God Thief' took out the 'Boundary-Breaking Hammer' and swung it at the void.

He felt something hit him, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the empty void.

"This is it!" The 'God of Thieves' thought nervously.

He was afraid that Fino had been promoted to S-rank.

Without a pre-prepared ultimate move, provoking an S-class opponent is tantamount to suicide.

He's gambling now; even if he wins, he might not profit, but he has no choice but to place the bet.

In order to reach Lv150, he borrowed 3 million experience points before setting off.

The members of [Golden Wind] didn't reply to his message immediately during their offline team building activity, so he borrowed experience from [Imperial Conquest].

If the body cannot be retrieved, and [Imperial Ambition] were to simply waive the debt, that would be a real headache.

The spider web suddenly broke apart, revealing a small hole about half a meter high.

The "Thief God" disregarded his dignity and hurriedly crawled inside before the cave entrance was restored.

Black, white, gray—the same dream space as before.

But below the space, there was a frozen, deep blue ice crystal.

And above.

A young girl sleeps soundly in the eye of the storm.

Her body had been altered beyond recognition; half of her body was covered in downy hair, while the other half was covered in black marks resembling lightning.

The 'God of Thieves' only glanced at it before realizing he was too late.

The twins, Fino and Felin.

They have already become one.
