“Master, relax a bit, don't get angry. Erasing an island from the map is hard to explain!”
The Pluto Mushroom sensed Zhang Chen's emotional fluctuations and quickly reminded him.
“Yes, I'll control myself!”
Zhang Chen nodded and said.
“But… you didn't control it very well even when you were calm, just one skill burned all the creatures in the valley…”
“Now your emotions are a bit volatile… is it really okay?”
The Pluto Mushroom said timidly.
“If I say it's okay, it's okay!”
Zhang Chen's heart tensed.
Terrified, the Pluto Mushroom immediately shut up and fell silent.
“Let's hit you with something big!”
“Let us teach you too, all psychic abilities converging will form a super energy wave that is powerful and indestructible!”
The leading student shouted.
Over a dozen students simultaneously activated their psychic abilities, concentrating their energy at one point.
Immediately after, a laser-like energy beam erupted.
This energy wave was slightly different from an energy beam; its energy composition was more complex, and its power was indeed greater.
It's just that this energy was too thin…
“Heh, is such a thin energy beam considered an energy wave?”
“Is it meant to pick my teeth?”
“Or shall I teach you then!”
Zhang Chen slowly raised his left hand and shot an energy wave of the same structure towards the energy beam.
*Hum!*
*Boom!*
An energy wave several meters in diameter shot out fiercely. The moment it came into contact with the weak energy wave produced by the students' combined effort, it instantly engulfed it.
Simultaneously engulfed were the dozen students with incredulous expressions.
*Rumble!~! Rumble~…*
The energy wave, after devouring them, continued forward without any attenuation. Its immense impact left a seven to eight-meter-deep crack in the ground, charging straight ahead.
*Sizzle! Whoosh!*
The energy wave sped out of Demon Hunting Island, splitting the seawater in two and continuing forward. Countless water particles were vaporized by the scorching energy, emitting misty vapor.
Even so, it couldn't cool the energy wave down.
Although Zhang Chen had stopped releasing energy, the energy wave that flew out continued to travel on its own.
Soon, it left the sea surface and shot straight into the sky.
It wasn't that it changed direction on its own, but rather because the entire planet is spherical, and gravity had a negligible effect on the energy wave, leading to this spectacle!
“Oh dear, it seems to be heading towards the moon…”
The Pluto Mushroom sensed that Zhang Chen's emotions had calmed down and finally spoke up.
However, as soon as it finished speaking, it saw the energy wave penetrate the moon's surface and then fly off in another direction.
Of course, it was daytime, so people in this hemisphere couldn't see the moon at all.
But the other hemisphere and the space agencies were in a panic.
Because people could visibly see the moon disintegrating, shattering into several large pieces, and then entering Earth's atmosphere, rapidly burning up.
Countless meteorites streaked across the sky.
Without the moon's gravitational pull, gigantic tsunamis tens of meters high formed on the sea surface, capsizing a cruise ship in the massive waves.
“This… while it may not lead to the destruction of humanity, with so many large moon fragments colliding, I guess this world will be turned upside down!”
“Also… although you possess the power of creation, capable of creating a moon and rebuilding the world, erasing everyone's memories might not be easy, and the damage caused by those meteor fragments would be hard to compensate for one by one…”
“In short… this is trouble, I’m afraid we’ll have to live in another world.”
The Pluto Mushroom grumbled softly.
This knowledge was certainly not something it possessed; rather, the collective consciousness within its body held such knowledge.
“These students are truly a handful!”
Zhang Chen sighed and waved his hand helplessly.
The surrounding environment began to change rapidly. The meteors in the sky actually started to reverse, and the moon, which had been shattered, returned to its unified state.
Simultaneously, the energy wave that had pierced the sky also flew back in reverse.
Everything was rewinding, like an old VCD playing in fast rewind.
*Whoosh!*
Everything around returned to normal.
The cracks on the ground disappeared, and those students who had been blown to smithereens, utterly unaware of their limitations, reappeared.
“Duel!”
They simultaneously threw the coins in their hands at Zhang Chen.
“It seems… I need to find another way to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, it won't serve as a lesson and might even ruin my peaceful life!”
Zhang Chen thought to himself.
“You… you…”
The Pluto Mushroom stuttered "you" twice, showing terror, surprise, shock, and even a trace of fear.
Zhang Chen's time reversal had rewound everything to before the confrontation began.
Naturally, the Pluto Mushroom was also rewound, so it had no knowledge of the future that had been erased.
However, it was able to read Zhang Chen's thoughts and understand everything that had just happened.
Of course, this was with Zhang Chen's consent. If Zhang Chen hadn't agreed, the Pluto Mushroom couldn't have retrieved even a sliver of information from its own mind.
“I mastered time abilities long ago, it's just that my control is limited, not as flexible or skillful as Chen Xiao's, and I don't have many fancy tricks.”
“But it’s very practical. I used it many times when I was in spirit form, I just… forgot to let you know.”
Zhang Chen said silently.
“Creation and destruction, plus time… you truly are a god!”
All the consciousnesses within the Pluto Mushroom said almost in unison.
“No, this power is not enough to be called a god. I can feel that there is still a powerful energy that has not been subdued…”
“Of course, that is also the ultimate goal of my arrival in this world.”
“Everything will take its course. For such powerful energy, direct forceful intervention is almost impossible.”
“Let’s deal with the present first!”
Zhang Chen said, sealing 99.9999…% of his energy.
He left a portion of energy to provide sustenance for the Pluto Mushroom, ensuring it wouldn't starve.
Another portion was kept for himself.
“Through what just happened, I've understood a principle!”
“For an ant, it cannot comprehend the existence of an elephant.”
“So, even if they are crushed to death by an elephant, they will only think it's bad luck, not a problem of strength.”
“Only by becoming a stronger ant can they realize their own insignificance.”
“Therefore… I am now that stronger ant.”
