Will Lin Yu really retreat due to insufficient strength? Is that possible?

The answer is—no!

At this moment, Lin Yu appeared in front of the troops stationed on the coast. His huge wings immediately attracted the attention of all the defense forces.

Lin Yu, suspended in mid-air, looked down at the panicked crowd below, his smile widening...

185. Hostages? Coercion!

"Wow, they really went all out to welcome me!"

The shore defense troops, who had only received orders but hadn't even seen a figure, were almost frozen in place as they looked at the figure with huge wings spread in the sky. They were preparing to defend against Lin Yu's attack, but the enemy, who was supposed to arrive in ten minutes, suddenly appeared in front of them before they were fully prepared. For a moment, even the commander looked at the sky, not knowing what to do.

Despite the presence of hundreds of thousands of troops gathered on the coast, there was a deathly silence; everyone instinctively held their breath and dared not even exhale.

"Let's say hello first!"

Lin Yu smiled and raised his hand. As soon as he made a move, the army commander immediately gave the order to attack. Under the high tension, even Lin Yu's small movement stimulated their nerves instantly. In an instant, all the weapons were unleashed towards Lin Yu in mid-air!

Why are you in such a hurry?

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and snapped his fingers lightly. A seemingly thin black flame ignited on Lin Yu's body. This flame, which seemed to be extinguished with a single breath, actually seemed to be connected to a black hole. Any guns or cannons made by humans that hit it would disappear without a trace without even causing a ripple!

"It wasn't certain before."

Lin Yu brought the flame in his palm to his face. The black flame danced quietly as if it had a life of its own. This black flame, which appeared because he had let go of all his defenses and actively accepted the power of the Flame of Sin, seemed to have the characteristic of being able to destroy everything.

That's right, it's about destroying, not devouring!

Everything touched by the black flames was instantly destroyed, leaving not even a trace. This is why Lin Yu was able to stand here so calmly as a target for the army.

"But this black flame is probably only effective against weapons made by humans. An attack of the level of the Crimson King should be able to neutralize the power of the black flame."

Despite facing a large and well-equipped human army, Lin Yu still had the mind to study his own power. If it weren't for the domineering nature of the black flames, even if his strength were to increase several levels, he probably still wouldn't be able to do it.

"I wonder how much of the US military is here. Well, it must be enough to make one's heart ache, right?"

Lin Yu smiled and raised his hand above his head, whereupon black flames spontaneously combusted and coalesced into a black eye of fire.

The Law of Freedom I learned from Shana—Judgment!

“Ann Rand, I think you can hear me, right?”

Lin Yu's voice was amplified by the power of judgment, almost forming a tangible sound wave. This special law of freedom had already proven quite useful when Lin Yu and Shana used it to declare that they would no longer protect the Tokyo area. Unexpectedly, it was used again in such a short time.

What does he want to do?

Although Ann Rand was in the secret base, Lin Yu's voice still penetrated through. The sound transmitted through the Judgment was not just a simple vibration of the air; it could be regarded as a kind of mystical power. At least, the speed of sound transmission was many times faster than the speed of sound.

"What I'm about to say is very simple. Do you see these troops? There must be more than 100,000 of them, right?"

Lin Yu completely ignored the army's attack, merely making the black flames on his body burn even more intensely. Although he could ignore ordinary conventional weapons, super weapons like the Heavenly Ladder would probably be a problem. In a conscious state, he certainly wouldn't ignore his own safety.

"What do you mean?"

Ann Rand frowned and exchanged a glance with the US president. Both of them vaguely sensed part of Lin Yu's thoughts, but they wisely did not point it out. They just needed to keep listening to what Lin Yu meant.

"If I were to trade the lives of 100,000 people for yours, would anyone be willing to make such a deal with me?"

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, black flames surged out like a tidal wave, instantly obscuring the entire sky. The sunlight was swallowed up by the flames, and the battlefield was as if night had fallen, with the lighting equipment turned on. In the darkness, anger was faintly visible on the faces of every soldier. They had actually been treated as hostages by Lin Yu!

"I'm sure you all know my capabilities. With a wave of my hand, these troops will all be wiped out here. I'll wait only half an hour! If I don't see Ayn Rand's men after half an hour, then I will annihilate this army!"

call out!call out!call out!

Rockets rained down from the sky, burning deserters who were trying to escape under the cover of night to ashes.

"Oh, and by the way, you'd better not move around unnecessarily. If I think you're planning to run away, you'll be dead!"

Before this, no normal person would have imagined that an elite army would be used as a hostage to threaten its own head of state. If someone had actually suggested such a thing, they would have been considered crazy. But this scene has now actually happened!

The artillery fire had gradually subsided. The enemy seemed unaffected by the continuous attacks, and even the most determined soldiers would likely lose their fighting ability.

"We must not compromise!"

Ann Rand stood up abruptly, her face ashen. She knew the American president sitting next to her very well; he was undoubtedly a powerful and ruthless leader. The troops deployed along the coastline were the most elite in the United States. If they were all wiped out by Lin Yu, the strength of the entire United States would be reduced to a terrible level, and it would be hard to say whether they could even withstand an army of more than a thousand Gastrea!

The United States has already lost more than half of its naval power. If its army also suffers heavy losses, then forget about its ambition to conquer the world, it will be difficult to even defend the country against the Gastrea!

The American president's expression shifted. Ayn Rand had never imagined that his biggest partner would one day stand against him, so he was completely unprepared before coming here. Now he didn't even have a chance to resist. The soldiers around him had already raised their guns and pointed them at his head. If he made any move, these soldiers would show no mercy!

Lin Yu's strength far exceeded their expectations. The destruction of the naval fleet had already made the US president regret his actions, and now that the army was being used as a hostage, it seemed that he had only one choice left from the beginning.

"Old friend, I'm sorry, but you insisted on killing this monster, so now you have to bear the consequences."

As soon as the American president finished speaking, several soldiers rushed up and grabbed Ayn Rand. Although he was one of the Four Sages, as a scientist, he had no power to resist. He could only look at the man who had once treated him with great courtesy and was now using him as a bargaining chip with resentment.

[I delivered on my promise of the fifth update]

[I sat in front of the computer all day without moving except to eat and go to the bathroom. Now, just looking at the WPS interface makes me want to vomit. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to update during the day. I'll wait until I get home from get off work tonight. I don't want to say whether it's because my writing is so bad that everyone has given up on the book or if they've gone to read it through some other means. It's just that the rewards are completely disproportionate to the effort, which is really disheartening.] (To be continued.)

186. Why don't you try it out too!

You probably didn't expect us to meet like this, did you?

Lin Yu smiled as he looked at the old man being escorted to him by two soldiers. The old man's hair was only slightly white, and one could imagine that he would normally be a very energetic old man, but at this moment his face was haggard, as if he had aged ten years.

"You win. I didn't expect you to have such great power, and I didn't expect you to come directly from Japan to America without any concealment."

As one of the Four Sages, Ann Rand was clearly a smart man. He knew very well that someone who would travel across the ocean and even destroy the entire fleet for the Tina sisters would never compromise under any circumstances. Therefore, the moment Lin Yu made his statement, he knew that he was doomed!

It's just that everything happened too suddenly. If it weren't for Lin Yu's series of actions that challenged the limits of human capability, he would never have been caught so easily. From the beginning, he didn't really trust the equally cunning US president. However, in order to kill Lin Yu, he had to use the other party's equipment to control the situation. At the same time, after the death of the six Tina sisters, he also needed to obtain new materials through the other party. That's why he appeared in that secret base, without even making any preparations that might arouse the other party's suspicion.

Ayn Rand could never have imagined that a human being could annihilate nearly half of the U.S. Navy and even threaten the U.S. head of state with 100,000 soldiers stationed on shore!

It's important to understand that the United States has always possessed the ability to destroy Stage V Gastrea, but it has chosen to let it go in order to wait for the right opportunity. Otherwise, apart from Libra, which is immune to even nuclear bombs, no Gastrea in the world could withstand the firepower of the US military.

"Do you want to die?"

Lin Yu's smile looked warm, but his overly dark pupils gave off a heavy feeling. Anyone who saw those eyes would subconsciously look away, and even a simple eye contact would make one feel as if a mountain was pressing down on their chest.

Flying in mid-air, he looked down at the old man he hated so much, like a god.

"I will grant your wish."

With a slight lift of his hand, black ice crystals appeared beneath Ann Rand's feet, bringing him to Lin Yu's side. This old man, as expected of someone who had seen many storms, stood firmly and steadily. However, his performance only made Lin Yu's smile widen.

"You must really hate the person who sent you here, right?"

Lin Yu asked this seemingly unrelated question, and even Ann Rand couldn't understand what he meant. However, Lin Yu clearly had no intention of explaining anything to his enemy. He shifted his dark eyes from Ann Rand to the troops below who were ready to retreat at any moment. Everything that had happened today was an absolute disgrace to this unit. Not only had they failed to inflict any damage on the enemy, but the entire unit had also become hostages. If it weren't for the disparity between the two sides making it impossible to even think of resisting, the unit's commander would have wanted to die to atone for his sins.

"You can leave now."

Lin Yu's voice, transmitted clearly through the Free Law 'Judgment', reached the ears of every soldier. The commander, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, immediately issued the order to evacuate. He didn't want to stay there for even a second longer!

"But only one minute!"

Lin Yu's second half of his sentence stunned everyone. The US president, who was in the base, swung his chair and smashed it to pieces. He could almost foresee the fate of this army. If cursing could kill, Lin Yu would probably have been killed countless times by now.

Unfortunately, no matter how much the soldiers and the American leader cursed, Lin Yu's decision was absolutely unchangeable; one minute meant one minute! Not a second more!

Ann Rand smiled gleefully as he watched the army fleeing in panic below. It was a blessing that he could see the man who had handed him over suffer such a great loss before he died.

However, he could only smile now. Lin Yu had long known that Tina and the others' deaths were not solely the work of Ann Rand; the US president was undoubtedly the biggest accomplice!

"Time's up!"

Lin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly with a smile, as if he were enjoying the thrill of revenge. The black sea of ​​fire condensed into countless fire spears that shot out. Although these fire spears were inaccurate, their power was no less than that of man-made rockets. Each fire spear that hit the ground would explode into countless tiny flames. Anyone who came into contact with these flames would be burned to ashes in an instant. Even heavy vehicles such as tanks and armored vehicles would not escape destruction if hit!

Thousands upon thousands of flaming spears flew in all directions, turning the entire coastline, stretching for tens of thousands of meters, into a sea of ​​fire. Less than a third of the lucky survivors managed to escape, while the majority of the army perished. Lin Yu was never a soft-hearted person. Although he might have kept his word and let these innocent soldiers go under normal circumstances, after voluntarily accepting the power of the Flame of Sin, Lin Yu appeared to be no different from usual on the surface, but in reality, his heart had undergone a fundamental change. This was also the reason why Shana initially did not hesitate to point the Nietono Shōna at Lin Yu.

The flames continued to burn, flames filled with an aura of destruction capable of igniting even the earth. If Lin Yu did not actively withdraw the power within them, they would not be extinguished until the power within the flames was exhausted.

"Is it enjoyable?"

Lin Yu said to Ann Rand with a smile.

"Ah."

Ann Rand nodded, but his brows were furrowed. He had vaguely sensed Lin Yu's intentions, but he was very confident in his own will. He secretly resolved that he would not utter a sound even if he was tortured. Although he could not escape his fate of death, he would not let Lin Yu feel the pleasure of revenge!

Unfortunately, his determination seemed insignificant to Lin Yu. Lin Yu had personally experienced the pain of the Flame of Sin during the time when the Seven Deadly Sins had cursed him with their lives. It was a pain that came from the very soul. Even Lin Yu feared it like a tiger and dared not use it lightly, for fear of experiencing that feeling of being worse than dead again.

"You know what? My original strength wasn't enough to do this. I had to use the power of this flame in order to take revenge on you."

The dark flames churned in Lin Yu's hand. Ann Rand was slightly taken aback, wondering what Lin Yu meant by telling him all this.

"You should have seen the power of this flame. There is no such thing as power that comes out of thin air in this world. Great power must come at an equal price."

"The price of using this flame is pain, pain that comes from the very soul, pain that cannot be relieved by fainting or being relieved, and in fact, the constant stimulation of the soul will only make you feel it more clearly, a pain that truly makes life worse than death!"

Lin Yu took a deep breath and then smiled as he looked at the old man in front of him.

"Now, why don't you experience it for yourself!"

[Sorry, I'm really late today. I'll try to write some pre-written drafts later to ensure stable updates.] (To be continued.)

187. What is suffering?

"Now, why don't you experience it for yourself!"

The pitch-black flames tumbled in Lin Yu's hands. As Lin Yu finished speaking, this special flame seemed to have a spirit and floated out. Under Ann Rand's tense gaze, it landed on him. Having witnessed the power of this flame, he thought he would be freed soon. But the next second, unexpected extreme pain filled every sensory nerve of his body!

"Aa ...

A piercing scream echoed across the United States. Lin Yu somehow amplified Ayn Rand's voice with the word "judgment," and almost everyone turned their terrified gaze toward the direction from which the sound came. They couldn't imagine what kind of suffering a person must have endured to utter such a piercing scream.

Ann Rand was enveloped in black flames, but these flames did not kill him directly as before. Instead, they attached themselves to his body, causing him endless pain but not harming his life at all!

"How's it? This kind of pain isn't bad, is it?"

Lin Yu stared at Ann Rand with his dark eyes completely unmoved. Although the enemy who killed Tina was suffering, he seemed to feel no pleasure in revenge.

"Kill me! Please, just kill me!"

For Ayn Rand, this simple sentence was incredibly difficult to utter at that moment. Just as Lin Yu said, this pain was a pain that came from the very soul, a pain that could not be relieved in any way.

"How about it? Do you understand now? The pain I've endured."

The smile remained, a smile that seemed to have never left Lin Yu's lips. His eyes, devoid of any discernible expression, seemed to reveal a mixture of mockery and sorrow. He was heartbroken that his younger sister had died because of such a person, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

"You, you demon!"

Ayn Rand's face was contorted with pain, and he could barely utter a single, long sentence, except for a single difficult word.

"Don't look at me like that. Does it hurt a lot to feel the black flames burning you?"
