Bang!
A sound like a thermos shattering on the floor echoed.
The silver锥 instantly vanished upon touching Zhang Chen's body.
Item used, item disappears!
Yet Zhang Chen was completely unharmed.
How could Lin Qingsong possibly know that Zhang Chen was immune to all damage while absorbing chaotic energy?
Even the most powerful weapon was laughably like a toy in the face of meteorite energy.
Crack... Crack...
After the silver锥 disappeared, the cracks in Zhang Chen's energy armor widened further.
Brilliant golden light shot out from the fissures, illuminating the entire room.
Lin Qingsong couldn't help but release Zhao Xiyue and shield his eyes with his arm.
Boom!
A gust of wind swept through, scattering everything in the room.
A wave of heat seared Lin Qingsong's skin, making it burn painfully.
Ever since he had advanced to Intermediate Awakener, even bullets couldn't harm him.
The claws of Crawlers could only leave shallow white marks on his skin.
But that gust of wind just now had made his skin ache?
What... what was happening? Such terrifying power!
Lin Qingsong was filled with horror.
At the same time, he was extremely regretful. If only he could have killed Zhang Chen just now... he surely would have been the one bathed in this surging golden light!
The golden light receded.
Zhang Chen was seen floating in mid-air, bathed in glorious golden light.
His eyes flickered with golden streams.
I... I'm back...
Zhang Chen looked at himself. No parts were missing.
The only thing lost was the [Energy Gathering Armor], which was destroyed.
In the face of meteorite energy, it was as fragile as paper.
As Zhang Chen assessed himself, the prompt reappeared:
[Current Level: God. Advanced Awakener Stage 1. All talents in the current stage are automatically maxed out, with an additional 20 Talent Points, 300 Energy Crystals. All attributes increased by 100%. Gain the unique ultimate skill: Annihilation Finger!]
[Annihilation Finger: Unleash an unparalleled sharp strike from your fingertip, dealing 1500% damage. If the target does not die, they will also suffer 100% damage per second for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 24 hours. Clearing fatigue effects will not affect the cooldown!]
[The energy of the Meteorite Core has been activated. As your strength increases, more extraordinary abilities will be unlocked. The higher the level, the higher the absorption and utilization rate of the meteorite energy!]
Hmm...
He truly felt vastly different from before.
Although his level hadn't changed, his overall strength had undergone a qualitative transformation.
Zhang Chen slowly descended to the ground, the golden light on his body gradually fading.
"Brother Chen, it's great that you're okay! We were attacked by an enemy just now, and Xiyue and I barely managed to repel the fierce foe with our lives!"
Lin Qingsong said with a flushed face.
His ability to fabricate lies was top-notch!
"You... die!"
Zhang Chen looked at Lin Qingsong and squeezed out two words fiercely from between his teeth.
Although he had lain there motionless, as if unconscious, Zhang Chen had actually been receiving external information since the [Energy Gathering Armor] began to crack.
He simply couldn't respond.
Zhang Chen had heard everything Lin Qingsong had done, slaughtering his teammates and tormenting Zhao Xiyue. A surge of anger rushed to his head.
However, he was still a short distance away from truly breaking free from the energy restraints and regaining control of his body.
And the [Rare. Cone of Annihilation] had perfectly accelerated his process of breaking out of his cocoon!
Zhang Chen raised his hand.
Lin Qingsong was instantly flung away by a powerful force, embedding himself into the wall.
"You bullied Xiyue like this just now, didn't you!"
Zhang Chen's gaze was bone-chillingly cold.
Cough, *Pfft*!
Lin Qingsong coughed up a large mouthful of blood, splattering it all over the ground.
The force of this blow was not light; it was likely that most of his internal organs had been ruptured.
"How... how is this possible? You were unconscious for seven days, and I desperately leveled up for seven days... Why are you still this strong?! This... this isn't fair!"
Lin Qingsong roared, his mouth full of blood.
However, Zhang Chen didn't wait for Lin Qingsong to finish speaking. He threw a punch, knocking out all of Lin Qingsong's teeth. Blood trickled down his lips.
Zhang Chen didn't want to kill Lin Qingsong too quickly; he wasn't worthy!
He had to torment him properly to avenge Zhao Xiyue and to release the suppressed anger in his chest.
"Wuwuwu... You... please spare me... I know I was wrong! Please give me a chance, my strength isn't bad either! If you have an organization... I can join! Then I will always obey you, and you won't have to worry about my betrayal! What do you think?"
Lin Qingsong suddenly adopted a fawning expression. His teeth were gone, and his voice sounded strange.
Zhang Chen completely ignored him.
He slowly tightened his right hand around Lin Qingsong's neck, squeezing little by little.
Lin Qingsong's face turned red, his eyes bulged, and eventually, he couldn't utter a single word.
His facial expression shifted from fawning to begging, then to resentment, and finally to maliciousness.
Zhang Chen smiled slightly.
Most people who begged for mercy at the point of death were scoundrels.
His final malicious expression was his true inner thought.
Zhang Chen suddenly loosened his grip, making Lin Qingsong think he had been spared, giving him a sliver of hope.
Lin Qingsong seized the opportunity to gasp for air.
However, as soon as he took a breath and before he could savor the beauty of breathing freely...
*Bang*!
*Boom*!
A powerful energy wave shot out from his palm.
Lin Qingsong's lower body was blasted into ashes.
He watched in horror as his body below the waist disappeared, and he himself began to vaporize, slowly vanishing...
"Want to join the Nightmare Organization? Do you think the Nightmare Organization is a recycling station? They'll take any trash?!"
Lin Qingsong, an Intermediate Awakener Stage 2, was easily crushed like a plaything by Zhang Chen.
Finally, he turned into a mist and dissipated into the air.
