Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 419 Spacetime Projection
Zhao Yingkong was desperately dodging the increasing number of spacetime projections, which showed no mercy when attacking.

Until she finds a way to counterattack, she can't even fight back.

"Should we wait for Yuzuriha Inori to wake up?"

Zhao Yingkong thought of a songstress who could help her: "But can Yuzuriha Inori really fight against the virus's consciousness?"

"If we can only win by taking her risks, then this is the kind of victory we can achieve..."

"It's really quite a mess!"

Fate in this world is like a script from a myth.

The main characters in the 'script' are very important; everyone else is just background to make the script go on. Even if a reincarnator comes to this world, they still have to abide by the rules of the script.

Zhao Yingkong disliked this sense of fate.

"The enemy is cunning, but I am not necessarily powerless to fight them!"

She kept thinking of ways to break the deadlock.

soon.

An idea popped into her mind:

Is there an attack that can only hit the enemy and not myself?

The Apocalypse Virus's will only manipulates her spacetime projection attacks; it does not modify the content within the spacetime projection. The attack remains the same after it is copied, just like the original attack.

The kind of attack method she was thinking of, which only attacks others and not herself, is not uncommon.

For example, assimilation attacks.

These attacks can be divided into two main categories: one is assimilation and erosion at the material level; the other is ideological attack, which influences the will of others through one's own thoughts.

The existence defined as 'I' will naturally not be harmed in that kind of attack.

Moreover, the enemy's spacetime projections can make these kinds of moves even stronger.

The spacetime projection will resonate with the original attack, making the range of influence even larger.

For example, targeted attacks.

It only harms specific targets and is harmless to other creatures, appearing as if it were part of the natural environment.

Such attacks are not uncommon.

Many organisms are affected by these targeted 'viruses'.

The only problem is that the Apocalypse Virus is no ordinary thing; it only attacks the Apocalypse Virus and not her own attacks... She can't use it yet.

"It seems like Yuzuriha Inori's singing has that effect, but then again, we're back to that problem."

Zhao Yingkong continued her brainstorming, trying to find the root cause of why Yuzuriha Inori's singing could work.

As long as the root cause is found.

Cracking the Apocalypse Virus is not that complicated.

"This is really a headache... Overcoming skill with brute force, breaking the rules, the key is to have enough power... This cycle world was prepared for the East Blue Team, the captain should be able to break the rules of this world, but I..."

Zhao Yingkong felt somewhat helpless.

She gained immense benefits from this world; the defects in her genes were corrected, she broke through the limits of the Zhao family assassins, and even developed the Light of the Mind.

Their strength has improved significantly in the process.

However, even with this level of strength, she was still no match for the world's boss.

This boss is not the final boss.

"By the way, will the second Void Genome make my power continue to increase?"

Zhao Yingkong thought of the key supplies in the plot.

The essence of the Void Genome is the fragmented light of the soul, the present and future illuminated by the 'False King' who burned himself out ten years ago.

She only got one of them.

In the original storyline, after Shu Ouma's King Power was taken away, he injected a second dose of the Void Genome and awakened the King Power again. Moreover, the second awakened King Power was much stronger than the first.

However, Zhao Yingkong herself awakened the light of her soul.

Moreover, the Light of the Soul is the 'anchor of origin' for self-awareness. Excessive Light of the Soul will make her stronger, but it will also affect the purification of her original Light of the Soul, causing her to be affected at some stage in the future.

Now, she feels that her previous concerns were somewhat unnecessary.

Future problems can always be solved in the future, so why worry so much?
The second Void Genome is still in the Source Gene Research Institute, but because this key item is so crucial, it has always been within Zhao Yingkong's sight. Even Dart and the others have not used this key item.

The assassin lady transformed into a streak of light.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the location where the second Void Genome was stored.

Without a second thought, he injected the Void Genome into his arm.

"That's really decisive..."

The projection of the mastermind, Dart, appears here.

This person is made entirely of data, but can switch between data and physical entities, making him impervious to normal attacks.

Zhao Yingkong wasn't particularly afraid of such a being.

The void, or rather, a higher form of spiritual light, can easily attack such a being.

However, she is not in good condition right now.

Is this a trap?

Zhao Yingkong listened to the prayers that kept appearing in her mind.

Scenes flashed through her mind.

Chaos, war... the prayers from the depths of the hearts of those who have been hurt are all conveyed to her ears; the resentment of those who cannot be redeemed until death is like arms trying to pull them into the deepest hell.

“The threads of fate are already broken, but the appearance of the king is the only certainty,” Dart said with a smile.

Even an unqualified king is still a king.

The mastermind behind this did not take advantage of the situation.

The war between the Reincarnators and the Apocalypse rarely falls into the specific level of attack and defense, but rather into the level of information cognition and mental thinking.

Once you win in that kind of game, the loser becomes your own asset.

This is far more dangerous than a fight where you punch me and I kick you.

The chaotic prayers disturbed Zhao Yingkong's peace of mind.

Some suffering stems from one's own fault, some people suffer regardless of right or wrong, and some suffering is simply unavoidable...

Even knowing the reasons, humans still complain and blame others.

Shouldn't such a person reflect on their own actions?

As soon as this thought crossed Zhao Yingkong's mind, many similar ideas appeared in her mind.

A fixed mindset seemed to be forming in her mind.

It is called doctrine.

Then, a method for deeply resolving the prayer came to Zhao Yingkong's mind...

This made her realize immediately that something was wrong.

Her thinking has been influenced, and she is gradually moving towards agreeing with the 'Fourth Revelation'.

Cleanse the world of all sins!
If she hadn't reached the mid-stage of the fourth rank and possessed an exceptionally strong will, she wouldn't have been able to detect this strange attack at all. After the doctrines took root in her mind, she would have become like Mana Ouma and Dart, regarding the Human Instrumentality Project as her sole mission.

I am no longer myself. I am more like 'Adam'.

"very scary……"

Zhao Yingkong realized that she was in a predicament that she might not be able to solve on her own.

So, he quickly tried to enter a dream.

But she could no longer concentrate; the prayers were attacking every cell in her brain.

"It's really embarrassing..."

Xu Feng appeared beside Zhao Yingkong.

He gently placed his palm on the female assassin's head, completely isolating her from the special power of faith from the outside world.

An invisible force entangled the palm, causing Xu Feng himself to glow white under its influence.

at this time.

Hundreds of Zhao Ying's illusory images from the spacetime projections appeared here, stabbing at this figure.

But they were all blocked by an invisible golden light.

"team leader……"

Zhao Yingkong looked ashamed.

Because of her defeat, the strongest player on the East Sea team is about to make a move.

In this bizarre world, once you start, it's hard to stop unless you can beat the game.

"You arrogantly believe that you can do anything that Ouma Shu can do, and that's exactly where you fall short of Ouma Shu."

Xu Feng sighed, "People have different values, and there will always be some people whose actions you can't stand, and you think those people deserve what they got."

"This barrier prevents you from absorbing the entire void of humanity like Shu Ouma did."

Shu Ouma has always been a 'gentle king', or more accurately... a 'gentle god'.

The name 'King's Power' is fundamentally misleading!
A competent king can never stop the Apocalypse Virus from ravaging the world.

Regardless of whether the person who suffers the sins is right or wrong, and regardless of whether the harm is related to him, Shu Ouma chooses to unconditionally embrace the sins of those people and unconditionally forgive them... This special mentality is the reason why he incorporated the Apocalypse Virus into his body at the end.

This kind of mentality is not that of a qualified king!
"how should I do?"

After hearing the reminder, Zhao Yingkong realized her mistake and asked anxiously.

There are actually many ways to resolve her current predicament.

She could become 'Adam' as Dart explained, and in the Fourth Revelation, she could destroy all of humanity in the world. After she influenced the scope of the Revelation, it wouldn't be difficult for the reincarnators of the East Sea Team to return to the Main God Space alive.

But if she makes this choice, her will will be drawn to the real 'Adam'.

Self-awareness is influenced by power.

I am no longer myself.

She can also make herself as 'gentle' as Shu Ouma.

But the same principle applies.

At that time, her behavior was no longer like hers, but rather like another Shu Ouma.

She didn't like any of these options.

If there are no other options, these two choices are indeed worth a gamble, a chance to fight for hope in despair.

The East China Sea team is far from hopeless right now!
"Do you know why I didn't stop you from injecting this void genome into your body?" Xu Feng asked.

Although he had been fighting against the will of evolution, stopping Zhao Yingkong's actions did not require much effort from him; he only needed to notify her in a dream.

"Could it be?" Zhao Yingkong asked with some anticipation, "that I can benefit from this predicament?"

The benefit she was referring to was, of course, a way to become stronger without any side effects.

"Of course……"

Xu Feng smiled and said, "Don't you think that move that Mana Ouma used earlier was pretty powerful?"

It records everything that happens in the world and then displays all the world's abilities through spacetime projection. When using powerful strangers, this thing is even more powerful than figurative imagination.

Of course, it has very high requirements.

Only by controlling a world can one use similar techniques.

Furthermore, the battlefield must be confined to the world area under one's control, and the upper limit of the record will also be affected by the world level.

But in any case, this kind of bizarre move is very useful in many situations.

Zhao Yingkong now has the foundation to execute this move.

"There's no need to condone those prayers. Humans believe in gods, and gods also choose their own followers..."

Xu Feng guided Zhao Yingkong.

"The essence of the Void Genome is also the Apocalypse Virus. These chaotic thoughts are the Apocalypse Virus entering your mind through thought resonance. In the resonance, regardless of whether the other party trusts you or not, that power of faith is like the most loyal fanatic."

“Select the ideas that can be accepted, and then incorporate the apocalyptic virus that resonates with those people into the inherent barrier. This should not take up too much space.”

"The Reality Marble should still be able to grow..."

…………

Zhao Yingkong closed her eyes and pondered.

This is an extremely complex matter, involving all of humanity in the world and a massive amount of data. Even though her thinking speed far surpasses that of ordinary people, it is not something that can be completed in a short time.

"This approach seems unable to prevent fate from arriving..."

Dart learned from the solution that Xu Feng's purpose was: "It's nothing more than to make Miss Sakura a key figure in my destiny."

"Like some fool who wanted to become Adam, the only difference is that he was destined to fail, while Your Majesty succeeded because of your great power... In fact, if we had known it would turn out this way, we could have cooperated. Your Majesty's strength is enough to share power in destiny."

"Those who are eliminated should sleep soundly," Xu Feng said, squinting.

"Saying more will only make your death more complete..."

"Your Majesty should have guessed all our capabilities. I look forward to seeing Your Majesty unleash your full power; perhaps that could break the limits of this world." Dart smiled, and then, once again, he vanished without a trace, turning into data.

A few days later.

Zhao Yingkong opened her eyes.

"I feel much better..."

Within her soul, the various prayer sounds diminished considerably. Although ordinary people would be driven mad by those prayers, Zhao Yingkong, as a powerful individual who had unlocked the fourth-tier gene lock, could naturally tolerate the chaotic sounds.

"Space-time projection is indeed a very powerful technique..."

Zhao Yingkong said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, the captain didn't use any offensive moves, otherwise we would have been in big trouble... The attacks recorded by the Apocalypse Virus are the three previous Apocalypses. If the captain had made a move, it would probably have been the end of the world."

Once one's strength reaches a certain level, destroying a plane is not difficult.

Xu Feng cannot destroy a very large plane, but turning a smaller world into ruins is very easy for him.

In this world, destruction by ordinary means is not the end!
Since everything cannot return to 'nothingness', the world itself will continue to cycle in the 'Apocalypse', which is nothing more than the fourth apocalypse changing from the Apocalypse Virus to the 'Unknown Attack'.

And the attack that would end the world would also be recorded by the Apocalypse Virus.

At that time, the East China Sea team was facing the "doomsday strike".

A relentless barrage of apocalyptic attacks...
