It was no wonder Marana’s words were so tragic; she had already made up her mind to perish together.
They seemed to have foreseen that Zhang Chen would bring Xu Ruina out.
And they also knew very well that they were no match for Zhang Chen.
So, they gathered all their strength, amassing a more powerful skill in the sky, preparing to perish with Zhang Chen.
"Heh, truly heroic! Just a bit foolish, believing whatever others say!"
"Since you're determined to perish with me, let me show you the final outcome!"
Zhang Chen smiled faintly and stood still.
The three little cats and Jessica, though nervous, did not leave, standing with Zhang Chen.
"If you don't escape now, you'll have no chance at all!"
"Incinerate, Explode Burial!"
Marana roared. kAnshu伍.ξà
Not only were the fireballs in the sky rapidly descending, but fissures also suddenly appeared on the ground, with scorching hot air seeping out.
"Oh? So it's two fireballs attacking from above and below, quite powerful!"
Zhang Chen nodded in approval.
"Die!"
Marana’s veins bulged on her forehead, her clothes instantly burned away by the searing heatwave.
Xiu Yan painstakingly used her internal energy to sustain Marana’s body, preventing her from burning to death too quickly.
Rumble!
The two fireballs collided, creating a massive mushroom cloud!
Several minutes later, the thick smoke gradually thinned.
On the scorched earth, Zhang Chen stood unharmed.
Beside him, Xu Ruina’s clothes were burned off, but she was also fine.
Although her internal energy could not be released outwards, it could prevent external energy from harming her body.
No matter how powerful the two fireballs were, compared to Xu Ruina’s own physical strength, they were still insignificant.
The strongest individuals in this world simply couldn't compare to the true powerhouses in the apocalypse; their skills were merely a little too flashy.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
The scene shifted, returning to the hospital entrance.
At this moment, the energy of the fireballs in the sky began to become unstable, their light flickering.
Marana gasped for breath, kneeling on the ground, propping herself up with her hands, large beads of sweat dripping from her cheeks onto the ground.
"What’s wrong, Marana? Are you under an illusion?"
"Impossible, I detected no abnormalities in your body. Why has the energy flow within you become so chaotic?"
Xiu Yan asked in surprise.
"This... it’s too real... too terrifying... we can't kill him..."
Marana angrily and dejectedly punched the ground, creating a large crater.
At this time, the energy balls in the sky gradually shrank and finally dissipated.
"What exactly did you do to me just now?"
Marana glared at Zhang Chen, unwilling to concede, and questioned him.
"That's right, it wasn't an illusion, but the future!"
"With your strength, you would have noticed if you were under an illusion."
"But the future is a fact, or rather, a possibility that is about to happen."
"If you were to fight me, the end result would be all of you dying, while she and I remain unharmed. Of course, this is just one outcome I wanted you to see."
"As long as I wish, the future outcomes can be infinitely varied, but none of them will be one where you succeed, because you are too weak!"
Zhang Chen’s eyes held a hint of pity.
Weak people who possess a heart to protect the world, isn't that pathetic enough?!
"What's going on, Marana? Are you afraid of death at a critical moment? To protect the world, we are willing to sacrifice everything. This was our oath when we joined the legion!"
Xiu Yan frowned and warned.
"No... I'm not afraid of death, it's just that we are truly incapable of stopping them!"
Marana stood up, her head bowed, a look of helplessness on her face. kAnd
"What are you talking about?"
Just as Xiu Yan was about to retort, her expression froze.
Then, she too began to pant heavily.
"You saw it too?"
Marana asked.
"Yes... this isn't an illusion..."
Xiu Yan said in disbelief.
"That’s right, it’s the future... this man can control time!"
Marana realized this and felt a sense of release.
Back on the hospital rooftop, it wasn't that Zhang Chen was too fast, but rather that he had paused time.
No wonder she couldn't fathom his actions.
Someone who can control the power of time is no different from a god!
