The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

"What happened?"

He stretched out two fingers and gradually zoomed out the surveillance camera——

At the same time, on the other side.

In the dense forest, a man and a woman with similar appearances were facing each other from a distance.

"It's really you."

Su looked at the face that was 70% similar to his own, as if facing a formidable enemy. His already solemn expression became more serious than ever before.

"Why do you appear in this world?"

he asks.

There were dense and tangled trees all around. After Su Guan focused all his attention on his opponent, the vines wrapped around the trees began to move at the same time.

The flying fallen leaves made the dazzling sunlight flicker irregularly.

"Don't be so aggressive." The woman standing opposite him spread her hands. "You have already recovered your spiritual perception ability to see through everything. You should be able to see that I have no ill will towards this world, right?"

"What has happened will happen again. I don't know why you have ended up in your current situation, but even if you have lost the ability to threaten this world, I still can't take you lightly."

Su said calmly.

"Retreat immediately. We in this world do not need to be tainted by the fruits of killing, so I have no intention of keeping you here. But I also cannot tolerate a greedy person who tries to spread his influence to other worlds to continue staying in this dreamlike flawless realm."

"Ah..." The girl standing opposite Su rubbed her hair and said with a distressed expression, "I originally thought that with your personality, it would be easier to communicate with you. Why are you even more stubborn than those people..."

"......" Su did not ask who the "those people" the girl was talking about. He just raised his palm slightly, and an invisible force like a raging wave gathered in his palm, and then rushed towards the girl.

Su is not like Kevin and the others. For a fusion warrior like him with mental perception, his special abilities will not be weakened much even if he returns to the state of a normal person.

Therefore, facing this "other self" who did not retreat despite being warned several times, Su Dongshou acted very decisively.

"So scary, so scary~"

However, the girl standing opposite him showed an expression as if she felt nothing.

Even though she kept muttering the words "so scary", Su could tell from her emotionless eyes that she had no fear of his abilities at all.

Sure enough, the invisible force suddenly stopped a second before touching the girl's body, and then, without any warning, it broke apart.

The drifting fallen leaves were shattered into pieces by the aftermath of that force.

If an ordinary person stood here, he would probably be confused about what had just happened.

"It's a pity." The girl smiled and said, "Although in order to prevent those 'outsiders' from discovering my existence, I have stripped away as much of the abyss and quantum powers as possible, but the only abilities of spirit and consciousness that I can use without any obstacles even in this world."

"As both of us are in the spiritual perception department, we are both standing on the same starting line now."

"......" Su didn't say anything. He raised his eyelids and looked meaningfully at the girl with a natural expression.

"Of course I know." He said in a firm tone, "I am a fusion warrior of the spiritual perception system. As a spiritual perception system, you will not be restricted by this world. I already know this."

"But, intruders who invaded this world without permission, do you understand——"

"The guardians of this world are not just outside the world. Even inside this world, those people still left assistance that can arrive at the scene at any time."

"And now-"

He raised his head slightly and gazed meaningfully into the void behind the girl.

“One by one, help is coming.”

"Judas's Oath, Power Rating Zero—"

As if responding to Su's call.

The calm voice, with an irresistible sense of oppression, echoed throughout the jungle.

"A divine grace barrier."

At the command, a rain of chains fell rapidly.

Along with several golden gears that appeared out of thin air in mid-air, the "restraint" force that made it impossible for people to react was poured onto the calm-looking girl with extreme precision.

The thin golden chains tightened the girl's body from all directions, and strands of soft flesh leaked out from the gaps in the chains.

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and under the drifting fallen leaves, the captain of the Hyperion appeared from the shadows.

"Thanks to the noise you made, I don't have to waste extra energy to analyze your exact location from Wei Erwei's surveillance coordinates." Li Shubai raised his eyebrows, nodded to Su who slowly closed his eyes, and then stared in the direction of the girl with a slightly cold gaze.

"Now let us have a talk, ma'am."

"Why did you invade this world without permission, and——"

"The reason why you lured my Valkyrie into the quantum sea."

Chapter 4 Hostages (k)

For Li Shubai, it was not difficult to identify who Vita was from her appearance.

Even Mei Raiden, who had only heard a few anecdotes about the other party in the paradise of the past life, could identify the other party's identity the moment she saw Vita. Li Shubai, who had exchanged information with Su's original body several times, certainly could not simply ignore the existence of this guy.

——It is better to say that if it were not for the relatively smooth progress of "Cloning the Earth", at the beginning, he even had the dark idea of ​​tying up this "female Su" who Su said was much stronger than himself and using her as a coolie.

But they didn't expect that this guy would appear before their eyes just when the "cloning of the Earth" was almost completed.

Moreover, this guy brought more surprises than just this.

"——When we left the Eigenworld and drifted in the Quantum Sea, Hyperion's administrator, Miss Ai, and I once detected a huge dormant energy source in the depths of the Quantum Sea."

"In terms of volume alone, the scale of that energy has not yet surpassed the Herrscher of the End that Kevin and his companions faced once 50,000 years ago, and the Karma Demon Kevin that I faced in the original world."

"But despite this, Hyperion still caught the unique scent of 'cocoon' from the breath emitted by that energy."

"Heh." A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Li Shubai's mouth. "Su told me that the moment he and the other female 'she' observed each other, that guy used a power extremely similar to the Second God Key to hunt him for a long time. In the end, Su relied on the home field advantage of being in the Eigenworld and successfully got rid of that guy's touch."

"Unfortunately... Although Su himself escaped by chance, that guy still relied on Su's escape trajectory to sneak from the quantum sea of ​​the neighboring planet to the quantum sea on our side."

"During the time we were sailing in the Quantum Sea, I could feel that guy seemed to be constantly drawing power from the Quantum Sea on our side."

"Unfortunately, because I also lost some of my memory at that time, I didn't realize what that guy's behavior meant. The people from the Eigenworld simply couldn't interfere with his behavior because he was hiding too far away and there was another more important threat."

Vita looked at Li Shubai's expression with a smile and clapped her hands: "How terrible, how terrible... Did you want to hear me praise you like this?"

"No, I'm just curious, why did you take the initiative to break the balance between us." Li Shubai shook his head, "You should understand that no matter whether you standing here are the guy's real body or not, we still have a way to reversely locate him through the 'connection' between you and that guy, so, based on this point, we can make a guess-"

"——Are you planning to use ours to kill your original body?"

Vita smiled: "As expected, you are the one who resisted the Abyss Cocoon with your will alone. Just by seeing me standing here, have you seen through my purpose?"

"You don't need to flatter me. I just saw my past in you," Li Shubai said. "Your situation reminds me of a stupid thing I did to myself not long ago."

"You mean, separating a part of yourself as an independent personality?" Vita put on a thoughtful expression, and suddenly realized, "It seems to be true. If so, are we quite similar?"

"Maybe." Li Shubai shrugged. "Unfortunately, our fundamental goals are different. I want to use my own power to overcome the highest limit that my absolute rationality can recognize. In this way, I can get myself, who has already left the chessboard, back to this chessboard."

"And you - or rather, the guy behind you is the opposite of me."

"Although I don't know what that girl's specific purpose is, after seeing you, I can understand that what she does is completely opposite to who I used to be."

"I don't know what kind of relationship you have with that guy, but judging from the fact that you are willing to expose yourself in order to lure us to the 'real body'..."

"...You can't resist that guy, so you want us, who are stronger than him, to kill her?"

"You guessed it right!" Vita clapped her hands again, "Do you want me to reward you with a candy?"

"It's useless to flatter me. I'm not going to participate in your private game." Li Shubai crossed his arms. "Not taking you down here is already my greatest kindness to you, an invader. I don't want to destroy the spatial stability of this world. Since you can come to this world quietly under Hyperion's surveillance, it means that the holy scar covering this planet has reached its limit, causing part of the planet's contents to overflow and form a new quantum sea... Am I right?"

If the different worlds are compared to cups filled with water, then the so-called quantum sea is the puddles formed by the overflowing liquid.

Normally, these puddles are adjacent to the original world, and they do not interfere with or affect each other. However, under certain circumstances, as long as the "water" in a puddle comes into contact with other puddles, the two "puddles" that originally belonged to different worlds will merge into one when they touch.

"In the game between the man behind you and Su, the quantum sea originally belonging to Venus and the quantum sea originally belonging to the Earth came into contact and merged together. As the 'clone Earth', which is the prototype of the Earth, the ether overflowing from this planet is of course more likely to have a relationship with the Earth, which is its prototype."

"I can classify your entry into the cloned Earth as straying into territory, but as a price, please cooperate with me to find the connection point between this planet and the Quantum Sea. I will repatriate you and seal the entrance. No objection is allowed." Li Shubai stretched out his hand to Vita, his expression as impartial as a judge, "Now, please."

Su opened his mouth, but after hesitating for a moment, he did not object to Li Shubai's words.

From the bottom of his heart, it was difficult for Su to simply let go of this woman who had brought him endless troubles and extreme danger. However, the force he was relying on now was Hyperion. Although he did not become the captain's subordinate like the other Valkyries, based on Su's understanding of the captain, if Vita really had a negative impact, then this guy's attitude would only be more intense than his own.

The reason why the captain chose to let Vita go back was probably because he still had something to ask for from this guy.

"Alas, what a heartless man." Vita scratched her head and said unwillingly, "Aren't you curious about where your Valkyries have gone?"

"Although they have only been on board for a short time, I believe in them." Li Shubai smiled. "The Quantum Sea is just a collection of the residue left over from the real world. It may be a very dangerous place for ordinary people, but for the End, Origin, and Truth, even if they walk sideways in the Quantum Sea, nothing can be their opponent."

"Um--"

"Including the one behind you, the parasitic plant hiding at the bottom of the Quantum Sea."

"Really?" Seeing Li Shubai's confident and calm smile, Vita also smiled, "So--"

"—You don't care about the whereabouts of that little vampire, do you?"

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

The smile on Li Shubai's face froze.

He raised his eyes, and an indescribable chill and murderous intent flashed across the depths of his pupils.

"Well……"

Vita couldn't help but let out a distressed sound.

As an "agent", her body was already very different from that of ordinary humans when she was born, but the moment the captain's eyes locked on her, Vita still clearly felt her heart shrinking wildly.

His limbs began to spasm slightly due to intense fear.

She gritted her teeth, suppressing her trembling body, but a happy smile appeared on her face: "It seems that our captain is not as selfless as he appears to be."

"..." Su Weiwei opened her eyes, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Since he met Li Shubai, he had never seen the captain behave so misbehaving.

Most of the time, he was a person who didn't get angry easily, but after hearing those four words from Vita's mouth, Li Shubai's anger got out of control to the point where he almost killed Vita on the spot.

The surging murderous intent lasted only for a moment. The moment Vita's voice fell, the atmosphere frozen by the cold air eased.

"…If you mentioned this name to irritate me, congratulations, you have succeeded." He looked at Vita coldly, suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

——Time stopped instantly.

The power of the end easily controlled everything on this cloned Earth, causing the entire world to fall into a state of complete stagnation at that moment.

He walked up to Vita, who was completely frozen in time, and put his hand over her forehead.

Instead of using Yu Duchen, he chose the most brutal method. The fierce corrosive force quickly invaded Vita's brain and seized all the intelligence and information that Li Shubai needed in one breath.

"..."

Li Shubai frowned slightly.

Because it was about the vampire girl whose whereabouts he couldn't even find, Li Shubai did not hold back on Vita, but he didn't expect that this guy's memory would be so long.

The memories of Kevin and other fusion warriors who survived to the Second Civilization Era are generally only about 5,000 years. Only Su, who was executing the Hengsha Project, truly experienced the long period of 50,000 years in the Second God's Key.

As for the memories he himself possessed, they only covered a few hundred thousand years.

Moreover, among the memories of hundreds of thousands of years, more than 90% were read in the cycle of reincarnation.

Putting aside the cycles of reincarnation, the time Li Shubai is truly awake is even less than that of an ordinary fusion warrior.

Therefore, after seizing Vita's memory, he realized that relying solely on his own memory reading speed, he would not be able to search for the information he wanted from this huge amount of time measured in billions in a short period of time.

So that's what this guy relies on.

She deliberately revealed her true identity in front of Su to attract him, and took the initiative to shout out those four words in front of him, which meant that she had already convinced herself that he would definitely use the most forceful means to read her memory.

——However, because the amount of memory she retained was so huge, whether it was the power of erosion or the power of consciousness, it was impossible for her to quickly obtain the information she wanted from that vast amount of memory.

Of course, she also knew that as long as she invested enough time, she would one day be able to find what she wanted from her memory, but at the same time, with her own personality, after hearing those four words, she would never accept wasting even a minute or a second of time.

"Ah……"

Li Shubai sneered, snapped his fingers, and removed the power of the End.

Time resumed its flow.

In Vita's perception, Li Shubai was standing beside Su in the last moment, but in the blink of an eye, his figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
