Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

The attack came so suddenly that the isomer echo, which was originally contained within the vibration frequency container, escaped without warning.

The shockwave instantly wiped out the entire escort team; their bodies were pulverized and scattered on the ground like a pulp.

When they arrived, all that remained was this scene of utter devastation.

"hold head high----!"

The berserk heteromorph roared at the sky, and visible circular ripples spread continuously from its body.

The security captain's eyes narrowed, and he shouted in a hoarse, terrified voice, "Get out of the way!"

If it weren't for the company's strict order to bring this isomer back, he would have turned tail and run without looking back.

Secondary isomers are not common, but they are not exactly rare either.

However, after it was first contained and studied, researchers at the Guixu Research Institute discovered that this isomorph could actually read an index similar to emotions!

This greatly shocked all the researchers.

Because in everyone's perception, heteromorphs cannot have emotions; they are products of the combination of rules and human desires.

It is pure and illusory, and it is impossible for it to generate anything like emotions.

Upon discovering its secrets, Guixu Research Institute immediately elevated its research to an extremely high priority and dispatched a large number of personnel from its subordinate research institutions to headquarters.

But on the way to headquarters, an unexpected event occurred.

The enormous whale-shaped aircraft came to a steady stop high in the sky, and the hatch at its tail slowly opened.

Li Xia walked to the suspended platform. The fierce wind howled past high above, and the strong airflow lifted the stray hairs on his forehead and the hem of his trench coat.

He looked down at the isomers below.

The isomer unleashed shockwaves wildly, shattering everything in its path, from houses to buildings, into extremely fine powder, as if they were made of mud or sand.

"grown ups!"

Reinhardt's pupils contracted, and he quickly walked to Li Xia's side, holding the smart device and whispering:

"The Hami number read from the isomer below is constantly increasing. It has now reached level one and is still increasing, as if there is no upper limit."

Level 1? That means... equivalent to a Level 5 hunter?

The classification of isomers is the opposite of the hunter's level. Level 5 isomers are the lowest level isomer monsters, and each level corresponds to a hunter's level.

A level 2 isomer is equivalent to a level 4 hunter; it is already a relatively powerful isomer capable of easily destroying an area.

It is worthwhile for the Special Operations Department to dispatch an elite direct subordinate team and senior supervisors to carry out the containment mission, which may even result in casualties.

Above the first level is the "Boundary Level".

The rules within them are nearly complete, bordering on omnipotence, possessing terrifying power akin to natural disasters, and can alter the surrounding landscape at will.

Even the boundary-level isomers are believed to possess intelligence, and each boundary-level isomer that has appeared so far has a special symbol.

Some researchers believe that each isomer is actually a combination of humanity's original sins, and therefore is also considered one of the seven deadly sins:

Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust.

However, so far, only four instances of the "breakpoint level" isomer have been recorded.

The emergence of each boundary-level isomer requires immense casualties to repel them.

It wasn't even defeating them, but merely repelling them.

Isomers cannot be destroyed; even if defeated, they will only dissipate in form and slowly gestate and regenerate over time.

Monsters are endless, and heteromorphs are immortal.

The entire Sanctuary was surrounded by such despair and endless alien monsters.

"Understood, you all must not make a move."

Li Xia leaned forward and leaped directly downwards.

The wind howled in my ears, billowing my trench coat and making it flutter behind me like a cape.

He stared at the isomer on the ground.

This isomer transformed from Helena is indeed very special.

Although a normal echo has a humanoid shape, it is just a blurry white cloud of gas in appearance. Therefore, the official definition is: a gaseous entity that is similar to a humanoid shape.

Now its form is becoming more and more solid and human-like, and Li Xia can even feel an intense, overwhelming sadness in its roars.

It was about to unleash a powerful shockwave with a wave of its hand, wiping out the entire patrol team that was rushing to the ground.

Li Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, and in an instant, the stillness of the night transformed into a streak of light that shot down from the sky.

hum!

The spear pierced the ripples precisely, creating a visible wave, before striking the ground at an angle, its tip still trembling.

Li Xia's figure flashed and he appeared in the air. He slowly descended with his hands behind his back, his toes touching the end of the spear, and he gently floated up and down with the trembling of the spear.

The other isomer suddenly fell silent, and Li Xia even felt that it was looking at him.

“Tina…”

A muffled, almost murmuring voice emanated from in front of the isomer.

Li Xia's eyes flickered. Was the isomer speaking?

No... The other party doesn't have vocal organs; it's using its own ability, namely vibration, to create sound.

The isomer seemed to be getting used to this operation, and its murmurs grew louder and louder.

Finally, it let out a piercing cry:

"Tina!"

A terrifying sonic wave surged from its mouth, hurtling towards Li Xia.

"Buzz!"

The fluctuation passed through the 'barrier between man and god' in front of Li Xia, but the fluctuation had weakened a bit and was then blocked by the protective energy mixed with true qi in Li Xia's body.

When the remaining shockwave reached Li Xia, it could only ruffle her hair.

"Tina is dead."

The humanoid figure opposite paused for a moment, and the gas cloud that made up its form trembled violently.

Of course it knew this, because Tina had died right before its eyes.

"what--!"

A piercing roar soared into the sky. The once pure white gas cloud was now stained crimson and rapidly contracted.

The sense of emptiness unique to the air mass was rapidly fading, and the body was becoming more and more solid, looking as if it was about to condense into a human form.

Douglas and Reinhardt, aboard the aircraft above, stared at the ever-increasing Hami Index, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

The isomer readings below have reached the first-order limit and are about to break through the critical value!

The massive aircraft suddenly began to shake violently, and panicked cries from the pilot echoed through the cabin:

"Encountering turbulence!"

Wait...no, this isn't airflow! The instruments are showing that space is trembling!

At this moment, the ground, which should have been solid, undulated like waves, and the invisible air also took on a concrete form, like ripples spreading outwards in circles on the water.

Li Xia's gaze finally turned serious.

He flashed and appeared directly in front of Helena, his palm seemingly slow but actually fast as he slapped her chest and abdomen.

"Oh!"

The true qi and fluctuating light around the two intertwined, forming a halo that instantly spread outwards, almost like a physical object.

Wherever the aperture passed, all the previous strange phenomena vanished.

Helena trembled and looked down at Li Xia.

At this moment, she had a blurry face. Even though her features were indistinct, her scarlet eyes were exceptionally clear, filled with endless rage.

"chichichi"

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared on Li Xia's palms and forearms, from which blood spurted out like rubies.

His eyes flickered, and the wounds healed at an astonishing speed.

"Why...why...stop...me?"

An indistinguishable male voice, purely a vibration, filled with boundless rage, rang in Li Xia's ears, each word distinct: "I...will...kill...all...them..."

Li Xia withdrew his hand and looked up at Helena: "I've already killed the murderer."

"Not...enough..."

"I know the rest of them won't escape either."

Li Xia shook his head, his tone calm: "As for you, you should never have been born. Your appearance would destroy the entire city."

He had already figured out what Helena was; she was an isomer that was transforming into a "Boundary-level" entity.

Helena remained silent for a long while before finally raising her head and giving Li Xia a deep look:

"I...respect...you...I...will...leave...but...revenge!"

revenge!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Helena's body suddenly trembled violently and then vanished into thin air.

In Li Xia's spiritual perception, only an extremely strong fluctuation remained, flying towards the sky at an extremely high speed.

The protective shield above suddenly changed color, but under such fluctuations, it seemed as if it were made of paper, and a large hole was torn in it.

It took a while for it to slowly recover and heal.

Li Xia stared at the hole in the ceiling, his eyes suddenly turned cold, his expression became serious, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

He stood silently in place, watching the scene of utter chaos, almost a complete catastrophe.

The giant whale-shaped flying vehicle behind them landed on the ground, and the "Two Generals" led an elite squad to charge over.

"Sir, are you alright?"

"It's alright," Li Xia instructed. "Gather the nearby wounded and provide them with aid. Set up a cordon around the area and have Sinvia bring her people over."

"Yes!"

While his teammates ran off to report, Li Xia's body slowly rose up and flew toward the remaining scrap parts in the central pit.

The transport vehicle was almost completely destroyed, but the receiving container remained largely intact.

As a container specifically designed to contain "echoes," its materials are almost entirely made for echoes, which is why it can survive close-range bursts.

A moment later, a small, dolphin-shaped aircraft, spewing pale blue flames, sped rapidly from the horizon. Before the aircraft had even come to a complete stop, Sinvia, along with several masked men in black, leaped out of it.

Xinweiya walked over to Li Xia and carefully examined the scene as well, but her voice came through: "I heard that a 'boundary-level' isomer has appeared here?"

Li Xia nodded: "I guess so. I don't know if it counts, but it is indeed much stronger than a level 5 hunter."

Sinvia's eyes widened, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, "How did you survive?"

Li Xia turned her head and gave her a strange look.

Sinvia explained, "The power of the stage-level isomers is beyond imagination; even a 'title-level' hunter would be absolutely unable to resist them."

Because stage-level isomers are rules in themselves, this is completely different from the situation where titled hunters control a small segment of the rules by using 'armor'.

So far, only four Deadly Sins have appeared in the world, but the defeat of each Deadly Sin has come at the cost of heavy casualties and the combined efforts of the corporation and the Hunter Guild.

Each time, several renowned hunters die in the line of duty, but you, facing it alone, seem to be…

Sinvia's gaze swept over Li Xia, but she did not find any injuries.

They appear to be unharmed.

Li Xia remained silent for a moment, then frowned.

He didn't feel that Helena posed much of a threat to him.

The opponent is indeed very strong, even capable of injuring him, but if they really fought, Li Xia felt the odds were only 30/70.

In three minutes, the other side was knocked down seven times.
