Chapter 57 'Space'

boom--

Rumbling--

The city of Dawn, and the surrounding land within a radius of thirty kilometers, were shaking violently.

above the sky.

The once bright and shining sun was now submerged in an extremely deep black.

hum-

buzz-

Waves of indescribable, yet chilling, energy enveloped Dawn City and the surrounding area.

Inside Dawn City.

Whether they are refugees on the outer city streets or evolved beings in the inner city square.

They all knelt down on the ground.

Their bodies trembled uncontrollably!
The enormous, pitch-black void above seemed capable of easily swallowing and crushing the flesh and souls of hundreds of thousands of people with a single thought from its owner.

but……

The people of Dawn City, though filled with awe, did not feel panic.

Just because——

The source of this spatial black hole is the City Lord's Mansion, which stands in the center of Dawn Inner City!

"City Lord——"

"Loyalty!"

"Dawn City—"

"Loyalty!"

Hundreds of thousands of people shouted at the top of their lungs.

In this perilous wasteland, nothing is more fortunate than encountering a powerful city lord!

Compared to the former city lord who advanced to the fourth rank but was killed by the infected, this mysterious new city lord is obviously much, much stronger!

In front of the city lord's palace.

Angelina Neal stood with her head bowed.

On her face, which gleamed with the metallic sheen of silver machinery, an expression of boundless devotion and delight welled up within her.

"My Lord..."

"Are you finally coming?"

Angelina Neil gazed at the city lord's mansion.

Her cold, emotionless pupils gradually brightened.

Nourishes—

zizi——

Mechanical explosions echoed continuously inside her body.

In no time at all.

Angelina Neil, who was originally only 1.7 meters tall, suddenly expanded and transformed into a black humanoid mecha that was more than ten meters tall, just like a Transformer.

This is Angelina Neil's fifth-tier mechanical attribute ability, 'Combat Mech'.

She wanted to greet her master's arrival in her most elegant form.

Kaka-

Amidst the clanging of gears, the mech slowly raised its right hand and placed it in front of its chest.

then.

The mecha, namely Angelina Neil, leaned slightly forward.

The inner city at dawn was filled with the roar of machinery.

but……

Time passes minute by minute.

The black hole in the sky above Dawn City, which was more than ten kilometers in diameter, stopped spreading after it reached a certain size.

then.

hum-

A soft sound.

The black hole disappeared.

The sunlight shone down again.

Angelina Neal's face showed deep disappointment.

"Isn't it time yet...?"

Angelina Neal murmured.

Unlike the other citizens of Dawn City, Angelina Neil knew perfectly well that the city lord's mansion was actually empty.

The new lord of Dawn City, her master Ember, had not yet arrived here.

Angelina Neal had no idea how her master could project his power into Dawn City even without actually arriving.

but……

Angelina Neal saw nothing wrong with this. Her master was incredibly powerful!
It can awaken her from death and give her new life.

Kaka-

Angelina Neil deactivated her mecha form and floated lightly to the ground from mid-air.

Her eyes were lowered slightly as she quietly felt the connection between herself and Ember—a connection that had been established when Ember awakened her. Through this connection, she could make simple requests to Ember, but she could not have any concrete conversations.

"What a long distance..."

Angelina Neal was somewhat disappointed.

She could faintly sense the presence of the embers, but the two seemed to be separated by an endless distance, perhaps billions of light-years.

This is a distance that countless lives cannot cross in their entire lives.

"My Lord..."

“Neil will wait quietly in Dawn City, until…”

"You have arrived here."

……

……

Jiangcheng, Langlang Mountain.

In a hidden cave deep in the mountains and forests.

The embers hovered in mid-air, surrounded by deep, dark cracks that spread like a spider web.

zizi——

The sound, like shattering glass, echoed continuously within the cave.

Wow——!
a moment.

The space around the embers shattered inch by inch, like a mirror.

Ember, too, opened its eyes.

"Spatial attribute!"

Yu Jin's face revealed a deep sense of surprise.

He didn't expect...

After using ten attribute activation stones at once, he not only successfully awakened a new attribute, but this new attribute was also the extremely powerful 'Space'!
Time reigns supreme, space is king; destiny is unpredictable, cause and effect are supreme!
Although this is a somewhat 'chuunibyou' (adolescent delusions of grandeur) description from an online novel, but...

Its pure spatial attributes make it absolutely the pinnacle of existence, even within the entire wasteland world!

a moment ago.

After leaving Jiangda University, Yu Jin went to Jiangcheng Hospital.

His judgment was correct; Jiangcheng Hospital did indeed admit a much wider variety of terminally ill patients compared to Yizhou.

There, he even met a fellow ALS patient, just like Stephen Hawking.

As expected, the other party brought Yu Jin a sixth-tier crystal and 100000 points.

Besides.

Yu Jin also obtained 3 sixth-order energy crystals, 15 fifth-order energy crystals, and several second, third, and fourth-order energy crystals from other patients, as well as a total of 550000 wasteland points.

After leaving Jiangcheng Hospital, Yu Jin went straight to Langlang Mountain.

However, he didn't rush to use crystals to break through to the seventh rank. Instead, he used attribute activation stones first.

The bad news is -

Since the embers already possess three attributes—'lightning,' 'power,' and 'numerical'—the probability of obtaining activation stones is decreasing.

Of the ten attribute-activating stones, the first nine failed, and only the last one succeeded.

The good news is—

The new attribute is the 'space' attribute.

Even just looking at the name, you know that the new attribute of the Embers is terrifyingly powerful!
