Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The doctor suddenly exerted force, pulling Precy into his arms, wrapping one arm around her waist, and raising the other arm, pointing it directly at Qi Yan.

"Qi Yan, I will defeat you here. I will show you that I have the ability to properly supervise and protect her!"

Chapter 1124 The Immortal Slaughtering Game

Faced with the doctor's provocative outburst, Qi Yan made no attempt to retaliate, instead waving his hand as a reward of a snow-capped mountain.

The doctor couldn't help but curse.

Just as Precys and Surtr were about to help the Doctor dodge, he raised his hand to stop the two girls.

The next second, the earth trembled, and an exaggeratedly large eye opened from the ice field.

With just one glance, the snow-capped mountain that crashed down began to disintegrate, eventually turning into a shower of snowflakes.

"PhD……"

A thunderous voice came from the direction of the icy plains: "I have no intention of interfering in your dispute with this person. I am willing to show you goodwill because you have demonstrated the ability to deal with evil spirits."

But the being in the heavens named Qi Yan can do the same.

"But you still chose to stand by my side, didn't you?" the doctor said confidently.

"Because your methods are gentler and more likely to benefit all living beings on this land, that's all."

The ice plains trembled, and the mountains shook as the giant beast rose to its feet.

The Ursus army, fleeing frantically like ants on the outskirts of the ice field, appeared smaller than a patch of glacier shaken off the giant beast that was standing up for the first time.

On the land called Terra, all living beings at this moment looked northward because of the movement of a giant beast rising up.

Qi Yan remained standing in the sky, slowly turning his head to look at the giant beast that had risen up.

Compared to the enormous body of this behemoth, Qi Yan's figure was even smaller than a single blood vessel in its eye.

He merely stared expressionlessly at the behemoth that had officially joined the Doctor's ranks, while the Father of Ancestral Spirits' eyes were becoming increasingly bloodshot due to tension.

"Step back." Qi Yan's tone brooked no argument.

The Father of Ancestral Spirits opened his mouth and let out a roar.

Space itself was distorted by the power of His roar.

Qi Yan, whose black hair was disheveled, stood in the center of the beast's roar range. He raised his arm, clenched his fist, and then lowered it.

The roar instantly turned into a muffled groan.

The Ancestral Father, who had just gotten up, was completely powerless to resist and fell down again. His massive body seemed to serve no purpose other than making his disheveled appearance more obvious.

Qi Yan suppressed the Father of Ancestral Spirits with a single punch, and his figure finally floated down, his feet landing on the Father of Ancestral Spirits' head.

Faced with this arrogant behavior, the Father of Ancestral Spirits became even more furious. His limbs struggled desperately in the sinkhole formed by His sleeping body, but apart from making the sinkhole even deeper, he could not shake Qi Yan's figure above his head even slightly.

The ancestral father's rapid breathing turned into a raging wind, his heart filled with helplessness.

Throughout his long life, He had witnessed countless incredible things, but this was the first time He had encountered an individual like Qi Yan, whose strength was beyond description.

The other party was simply standing on His head, and He felt as if He were being suppressed by the entire world, with no ability to resist.

The Father of Ancestral Spirits gave up the struggle in despair and looked down at the Doctor who was operating the Stargate.

That's all He can do.

They fought with all their might... or rather, they were suppressed before they even had a chance to fight with all their might.

A colossal beast, among the top of its kind, capable of destroying any nation in Terra, could only buy Qi Yan a single punch or kick.

Qi Yan stood on the head of the Ancestral Father and looked at the distant star gate.

This colossal structure, which had been silent for countless years, began to resume operation at a speed visible to the naked eye, thanks to the combined efforts of the Doctor and Priscilla.

Azure-blue energy particles converge on the ring structure of the stargate.

An ancient, almost decaying aura emanated from the center of the star gate.

Kreson, who was being held back by Anma, seemed to sense something. The flashing frequency increased, and Anma's four hooves began to fall slower and slower than it could keep up.

"Now, Anma!"

The doctor shouted, "Open a breach on the left side of the stargate!"

Anma's snow-white body leaped forward, making way for them.

Kreisson's chaotic thoughts caused Him to flash again, rushing into the stargate through the gap.

Then He was dumbfounded.

Qi Yan stared expressionlessly at Krejson, who had been teleported to his face, and raised his hand to make a grasping motion in the air.

The eye-like light spot at the core of Kreson flickered madly, and its twisted spherical body kept deforming, trying to break free from Qi Yan's power.

Qi Yan twisted his wrist, turning Kreson around in front of him repeatedly, carefully examining this bizarre and twisted shape that could not be accurately described with any precise word.

No matter how he flipped it or observed Kreson from any angle, he found that the other party always presented the same shape.

It's as if the other party isn't a three-dimensional entity, but rather a projection, a dynamic painting that always only has one side facing the observer.

Qi Yan exerted force with his fingers, attempting to crush Kresen directly.

Kreson struggled more violently, but showed no signs of injury.

"Completely ignoring the laws of physics...or rather, completely ignoring the rules of reality?"

Qi Yan nodded knowingly, then closed his eyes.

"You do not exist."

Qi Yan's vision was completely black. Then he opened his eyes again, and everything called Terra returned to his sight.

The Father of Ancestral Spirits was still panting heavily at his feet, while Ama's snow-white and agile figure stood beside the stargate. Surtr, clutching his greatsword, stood guard beside the Doctor with a weary expression. The energy particles at the stargate were noticeably denser.

There's just something missing.

The Father of Ancestral Spirits stared blankly at the air in front of Qi Yan, feeling as if something was missing from His being.

Amma looked around the Stargate, feeling as if something was missing.

Surtr blinked, then looked away from the air in front of Qi Yan and back at Qi Yan himself, puzzled.

The doctor and Precyth stopped simultaneously from operating the stargate.

"Some variable... has disappeared..."

The professor muttered to himself as he looked down at the formulas written on the snow beneath his feet: "My formulas... why are there so many gaps... oh, I see."

A low, relieved roar came from behind him.

The doctor looked back and found that Qi Yan had left the top of the Father of Ancestral Spirits and landed lightly not far behind him.

"You used that ability again," the doctor confirmed.

“Demons are not important,” Qi Yan replied.

"Nothing is unimportant. Your ability to do whatever you want is too domineering. Any small change could cause an immeasurable butterfly effect."

The professor withdrew his gaze and carefully examined his formula: "However, it seems I still have some pressure, making you temporarily abandon your playful nature and choose to directly erase the concept."

Qi Yan did not answer, but looked at the person next to the doctor.

Others couldn't see it, but he could clearly see that beautiful figure that should only exist in the doctor's mental world.

Precys's face tightened, and all the muscles in her body stiffened under Qi Yan's gaze.

"Qi Yan, do you remember who you first used this ability on?" The doctor suddenly abandoned the nickname and addressed Qi Yan by his real name.

Qi Yan remained silent.

"It's Qi Lin."

The doctor continued, "That was the first time you used this power. At the time, you didn't fully understand your ability and used it while playing around."

From then on, you realized the terrifying power of your abilities, and you began to deliberately avoid using them. Unless absolutely necessary, you would even selectively forget them.

Fiameta's feather, the strange blessing on Mudrock—every time you use this power, you become more and more wary.

In the final incident involving Theresa, you were even more reluctant to use this power lightly, preferring to go through great lengths.

The doctor took a breath and then suddenly raised his hand to take off his hood.

His short, gray hair danced in the wind stirred by the flowing energy particles at the stargate, and the doctor's light gray eyes were filled with fatigue from spending so much time mentally deriving formulas.

But a triumphant smile bloomed on his handsome face:

"You've realized that simply using those powers that I can understand is destined to be unable to escape my deductions."

No matter how absolutely powerful you appear, as long as I can still understand you, I can deduce your flaws and lead you to defeat.

Unless you really show no mercy and push us all over the place, whether it's me, Surtr, or the Father of the Ancestral Spirits and Ammah, you've always held back; you're unwilling to really hurt us.

This makes you realize even more that if you don't take things seriously, you absolutely cannot defeat me... So you have no choice but to use your special abilities, but your kindness, your hesitation, everything about you is being exploited by me.

Qi Yan pursed his lips, and for the first time, his usually emotionless eyes revealed disdain.

Surtr whispered to himself:

"Doctor, so you are really this despicable."

PhD:"……"

His smile froze for a moment, but he quickly masked it with his shameless composure.

"Qi Yan, you are now standing in front of us. You could have easily knocked me unconscious, but you didn't."

The doctor's eyes seemed to see right through Qi Yan's heart: "Because your curiosity has been piqued by me once again. You seem to be suppressing the whole scene with absolute violence, but you are frequently being led by my rhythm. Even now, you are under my rhythm, patiently waiting for my counterattack."

"So, what exactly is your counterattack?" Qi Yan asked.

"Right beneath our feet."

"Those formulas? They are already incomplete. Even if I can't understand them, I know that such precise formulas cannot tolerate the slightest error."

"What if even these errors were within my calculations?"

Qi Yan slightly opened his eyes.

The doctor grinned, revealing a bright smile:

"Qi Yan, your next sentence is—when will you riddle people just die?!"

"When will you riddle people finally die...?"

Qi Yan's voice almost overlapped with the doctor's words.

He finally realized something was wrong.

The Doctor wasn't joking. His personality was completely under the Doctor's control, and he had no doubt that this battle had been within the Doctor's expectations from beginning to end!

Before Qi Yan could decide to punch this guy, the Doctor took the initiative to step back and placed his hand on the Stargate structure.

"Qi Yan, I can't understand your strange ability to do whatever you want, but I don't need to understand it."

The doctor precisely located a pointer component on the stargate and forcefully broke it off.

This pointer, so insignificant in the face of the massive stargate structure that it might go unnoticed even if damaged, became a crucial part of the doctor's calculations.

The azure energy particles began to flow erratically, and the giant stargate structure lit up with large areas of red warning indicator lights.

"If you think of the world as a program, then your ability is to rewrite the program code at will."

The pointer in the professor's hand was like a pointer, slowly waving it to explain his thinking to Qi Yan: "However, once the code is running, you should never touch it, otherwise you will create a bunch of bugs."

And now, in order to disrupt my rhythm, you've been using your abilities to create a ton of bugs... no, I'd call them, special features!

Since it's a feature, if you can use it, why can't I?

I use Originium as my energy source, myself as my medium, and stargates as my driving force.

Today, I'm going to let you truly experience the unique features you created yourself!

Qi Yan frowned.

He...didn't understand!

Amidst Qi Yan's bewildered gaze, the disordered energy particles on the stargate suddenly erupted, and a large number of red particles transformed into a torrent that flooded the area.

Qi Yan, the doctor and others, even Anma and the Father of the Ancestral Spirit, and even the image that made Qi Yan appear in the sky, were all swept away by this torrent of particles.
