The moment Lin Hui met those pale, aloof eyes.

The Pale Lord... moved.

It took a step.

There was no sonic boom, no blast wave.

It's like a frame being cut from a video.

One second ago, the pale lord clad in magnificent bone armor was hovering in the clouds a thousand meters above the ground; the next second, a spotless boot gently stepped onto the scorched earth.

"Buzz—"

An invisible yet tangible terrifying pressure rippled outwards from his point of impact, spreading in all directions.

The gravel on the ground began to tremble silently, and fine dust particles floated up defying the laws of gravity.

And not far from his feet.

The pale, level 6 creature, whose wings had just been shattered and spine destroyed by Liu Xi, leaving only half of its body struggling to regenerate, seemed to see hope at this moment.

Ignoring the excruciating pain from its broken spine, it used its only intact hand to desperately claw at the ground, dragging a long trail of rotten flesh and broken bones, like a wild dog with a broken spine, as it crawled toward its owner.

"Waaah...waaah..."

Its throat had been smashed, and it could no longer utter complete syllables.

That was atonement.

The pale lord tilted his head slightly.

Those extremely pale eyes swept indifferently over the writhing subordinate at his feet.

No mercy.

There was no anger.

It slowly raised its right hand, its slender fingers gently clenching in the air.

Her movements were as graceful as if she were picking a flower.

But in the eyes of others, it became a nightmare they would never forget.

"Click."

A very crisp, light sound, like bones breaking.

The pale creature, which was invincible in the eyes of the players and had withstood several sniper bullets before being seriously injured, didn't even have time to scream before its entire body collapsed inward.

An invisible yet terrifying force instantly molded its proud 6th-tier physical body into a dense ball of flesh no bigger than a fist.

The blood was instantly squeezed out, the bones turned to dust, and the muscles were compressed into a substance harder than steel.

"puff."

A soft sound.

The ball of flesh exploded like fireworks, turning into extremely fine dust that dissipated into the air.

Not even a trace was left.

Truly reduced to ashes.

"hiss--"

far away.

The survivors in the ruins, whether they were solo players or remnants of the three major guilds, felt a chill run from their tailbone to the top of their head when they saw this scene.

That's so brutal!

That's so cold-blooded!

That was its companion!

Just like crushing a bug, casually squashing it?

"Is...is this really the monster we're facing?"

"It seems to be much stronger than just a little bit..."

A player sitting in a dilapidated vehicle was chattering. The joy that had just risen because Lin Hui had defeated the level 6 monster was now being doused with a bucket of ice water.

A kilometer away.

A gargoyle, hiding behind a bunker, is trembling with fear.

That was the instinctive fear of encountering a higher-level being.

Clinging to the gargoyle's back, Zhao Tianba clutched his chest tightly. The extraordinary item he kept close to his body, the Dream Pocket Watch, was now burning hot, like a red-hot iron!

"Warning! Deadly warning!!"

Zhao Tianba's face turned ashen, and he immediately ordered Li Wen to control the gargoyle to retreat and create more distance.

He dared not even look at the pale lord.

As a reborn individual, he understood the true value of the phrase "unbearable to look at" better than anyone else.

"Seventh rank... Is this what the seventh-rank Pale Royal Family is like?"

Zhao Tianba was covered in cold sweat, and the slight sense of superiority he had as a reborn person was completely shattered at this moment.

He had previously been delusional about unlocking a hidden instance...

But in the face of such absolute power, it seems so ridiculous and naive.

Zhao Tianba turned his head and stared intently at the black RV parked in the center of the battlefield.

"I've never asked anyone for help in my life... This time, you absolutely have to hold on!"

"If you can't hold out, we'll all die with this monster!"

……

Inside the black RV.

The atmosphere was equally somber.

Liu Xi gripped the sniper rifle, her breath almost stopping.

Su Qingqian stared intently at the reddish-purple dot on the radar screen, which even caused the radar signal to become disordered, her back soaked with cold sweat.

Even through the Lv.6 super alloy armor, the suffocating sense of oppression remained like a leech clinging to the bone.

Only Bai Ling.

This mad scientist was peering out the observation window, staring with a pained expression at the spot where the level 6 pale creature had vanished.

"Oh dear! What a waste! It's such a terrible squandering of resources!"

Bai Ling took a sip of water, her face full of heartache:

"I was actually hoping to get some tissue samples from that half-crippled, pale creature. It was a perfect experimental subject with 'super-fast regeneration' properties! And then it was just crushed like that!"

but.

She quickly turned her gaze back to the pale lord, her eyes once again burning with fervor.

"Boss, look at that!"

Bai Ling pointed out the window, "That looks even more valuable for research! Look at his bone armor, his body...it's practically a perfect biological specimen!"

"Boss, is there any way to capture him alive?"

"puff--"

Lin Hui, who was drinking cola to calm his nerves, almost spat it all over the control panel when he heard this.

He turned his head and looked at Bai Ling as if she were a madwoman.

"Capture alive?"

"Big sister, wake up! The opponent is a level 7!"

According to the information provided by Zhao Tianba, a level 7 creature is already a mythical being that has initially acquired divinity.

Although we don't know exactly what this "divinity" represents, which of those things associated with the word "god" is easy to mess with?

Encountering such a hellish opponent on the very first map is not just a leap in difficulty; it's like jumping straight from the beginner's village to the final boss room.

Even Lin Hui was speechless.

Does the game's developer have no intention of letting players live?

Bai Ling sighed with some regret, then settled for second best: "If that doesn't work, then... a corpse will do. As long as there's a whole piece of flesh, it'll be fine."

Lin Hui shook his head helplessly and put down the can of cola in his hand: "Bai Ling, stop messing around! Let's think about how to deal with it first."

His gaze, penetrating the one-way transparent armor, returned to the pale lord.

The enemy is more formidable than imagined.

From the very beginning, he was preparing for the battle against this Tier 7 Pale Lord, and even tested the combat power of a Tier 6 Pale being.

But from the two moves his opponent had just displayed—the teleportation-like speed and the terrifying telekinetic manipulation—Lin Hui realized that he had seriously underestimated his opponent's strength.

Honestly.

If it weren't for the RV's [One-Way Transparency] providing a barrier of rationality, and the defensive confidence brought by [Automatic Repair] and 10000 points of physical defense, he would probably have done the same as Zhao Tianba and tried to slip away first.

Lin Hui glanced at the mission countdown in the upper right corner of his field of vision.

[Time Remaining: 13 minutes and 02 seconds]
