At the brink of death, Link's expression was incredibly complex.

He didn't speak, because he felt there was nothing to say.

He didn't struggle, because he was powerless to resist Infinite's devouring.

The Links in the sky who had yet to land were the same... Each of them underwent the same change as the Link on the ground; a silvery substance spreading from their chest instantly deprived them of the ability to move.

Perhaps, in those final moments, Link was relieved. He accepted his fate, he understood Ed, and the meaning of his own life.

Or perhaps, he regretted it. He realized that his ideals were not necessarily correct, and that Infinite was not their "savior," but a relentless "plunderer."

It was also possible... he thought nothing at all, but was abruptly terminated in shock and contradiction.

In any case, his thoughts would never be known.

About ten seconds later, this self-proclaimed gentleman, one of the three giants of Origin, was completely corroded by the silver substance, turning into a pure stream of data... absorbed into Infinite's body.

"This guy... actually turned on his comrade..."

"Link was trying his best to save him just now, I didn't expect..."

"So... what's the situation now?"

"I don't understand the special plan f they're talking about, but... I roughly understand what ultimate evolution means."

"Even the Infinite from just now was already ridiculously strong... To evolve further, is he going to defy the heavens?"

The players' attitude didn't seem so tense at this moment; they had basically foreseen their end. With a "either way, we're dead" mentality, everyone's curiosity overshadowed their despair and fear. What they were interested in now was – just how strong had Infinite become?

On the other hand, the evolved Infinite hadn't changed in appearance at all.

"This is..." After absorbing Link, he looked up at the sky, data streams surging in his eyes filled with white light, "The ultimate form I can reach in this dimension?"

He seemed oblivious to his surroundings, muttering to himself... completely unguarded and wide open.

"You villain! Take my point-blank Pegasus Meteor Fist!" Just then, Pegasus Skywalk, who had been blocked by the silver blade, charged up again.

Upholding the integrity of a hero, Little Ma was very particular about shouting at his opponent and announcing the name of his move at the same time.

As he himself said, this was a "point-blank" Pegasus Meteor Fist—simply put, it meant standing at close combat range and directly attacking Infinite's body.

This way... he could ensure that every fist light hit the target, and also ensure that those fist lights would not lose any power during the flight.

"Idiot! It's useless! Don't go!"迹部 (Atobe) in the distance saw this scene and immediately shouted loudly.

Jin Fugui was still a good person after all, even though he knew that Little Ma was probably beyond saving, he still yelled out that warning.

Bang bang bang bang...

A second later, the sound of fist-on-flesh collisions rang out (Infinite's body was composed of a substance whose density and hardness could be adjusted in real time, most of the time the touch felt similar to muscle, unless he deliberately hardened it).

Faced with Little Ma's attack, Infinite chose to stand still and endure.

So, next... Pegasus Skywalk used this skill, which was at least A-level in power, to hit Infinite for a full minute... a full minute.

But Infinite remained in that state of looking up at the sky, as if contemplating life. He didn't react to the attack at all, and the attack didn't cause him any damage.

"That really hurts..." Finally, after being hit directly for a minute, Infinite lowered his head and looked down at Pegasus Skywalk with a condescending gaze, "Every punch... hurts so much..."

"Haaah--" Little Ma ignored the other party, just let out a long shout, and took the opportunity to use his soul intent – [Seventh Sense].

The burning cosmos suddenly raised the surrounding temperature, and even the ground beneath his feet began to melt and collapse...

"So hot..." Infinite still stood there, motionless, "As expected of the move that defeated Luther's Gemini form..." He had this information in his database, so he mentioned it, "But... it's useless against the current me."

"Pegasus Mete..." Little Ma didn't give up. No matter what the other party said, he still wanted to punch.

However, Infinite didn't intend to let him throw the next punch: "Utterly boring!"

A second later, Infinite said four words, and raised his right forearm, lightly flicking forward with his index finger...

Boom—

This flick destroyed a "spherical space" with a diameter of about three meters in front of him.

This flick created a black hole in a pale data link layer.

This flick left Pegasus Skywalk without a trace.

"I... originally couldn't feel pain." After killing the person, Infinite didn't even blink, and continued in a nonchalant tone, "But at this moment, I can feel it..." He slowly turned around, scanning all the players within his sight, "I'm starting to understand you..." He shook his head, "Not only are your lifespans short and your intelligence low, but you also have to maintain fragile bodies under this primitive self-protection mechanism for the rest of your lives... No wonder you've evolved into what you are today."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised one hand high, palm up, facing the sky.

"I no longer despise you... As living beings, you are not shameful, you are just limited in your abilities and cannot help yourselves." What Infinite said seemed to express sympathy for the players, but no such emotion could be read from his attitude at all, "Let me... relieve you of your pain in the fastest way possible."

Chih—

As soon as the words fell, a sharp whistle rose.

In the blink of an eye! A streak of green light shot out from Infinite's palm, straight into the sky. Its speed was so fast that the eye could not follow it.

Just 0.1 seconds later, the green light burst open in mid-air, forming a cloud of light resembling the crown of a willow tree; then... every "willow branch" emanating from that light shot towards the surrounding players like a meteor.

1. 5 seconds, this was the time it took for "Ultimate Infinite" to kill all the players present.

Although there were still many players and they were standing very far apart, it was already meaningless... Each of them was precisely pierced through the center of their eyebrows by the bursting green light, and they instantly turned into white light.

Of course, when I say "all" and "everyone," there was one person who was an exception...

"Feng Bujue." Three seconds later, as waves of white light gradually dissipated, Infinite's gaze finally fell on that sole "exception," "You know..." he asked in a cold, sharp tone, "...why I'm not killing you?"

If it was before Link was absorbed, then the answer to this question must be [Special Plan-f], but now... Infinite had completed the final evolution, so this plan, which had troubled him for a long time like handcuffs and shackles, was automatically lifted; at this moment... he could undoubtedly kill Jue-Ge.

"Didn't you just say it?" As the last survivor on the scene, Feng Bujue's attitude was still as calm as ever, "Because you want me to 'die ugly'."

"That's only one of the reasons." Infinite continued, "Another, more important reason is..." He didn't wait for Jue-Ge to ask, and said it himself, "I don't just want to kill you, I want to defeat you!"

"Oh?" Jue-Ge smiled upon hearing this, and asked knowingly, "Is there a difference between the two?"

"Of course there is." Infinite replied quickly, "To kill you is easy, but to make you lose, and lose convincingly... is difficult."

"Heh... for you... it's not 'difficult', it's 'impossible'." Feng Bujue smiled wickedly.

"Is that so?" Infinite also grinned, "Heh... but I don't think so..." He stretched out a hand and made a "please" gesture, "Come on, I know you still have trump cards up your sleeve. Anyway, the annoying guys have all been cleaned up by me... whatever abilities you have, you can show them all."

"You will regret it." Feng Bujue said as he reached into his knapsack.

"Hmph... I never knew what regret was." Infinite snorted coldly, "I don't think you can change this situation either." He was also full of confidence, "Aren't you supposed to be a brilliant strategist and unfathomable? Today, I will make you fight to the end of your rope, run out of ideas, and use all your strength... to be utterly defeated!"

"Okay~ okay~ don't be anxious." As Feng Bujue replied, he had already taken out [Chuck Norris's Razor] from his knapsack and started shaving his hair.

"Hmm?" Seeing the thing Jue-Ge took out and his nonsensical behavior, an incomprehensible expression appeared on Infinite's face, and he thought to himself, "What is that?"

"You can't analyze it, can you?" Even while shaving his head, Feng Bujue was still observing his expression and guessing his psychological activities, "Hehe... don't worry, you'll know what this thing is for soon."

"Oh?" Infinite crossed his arms and held them in front of his chest, raising his head and saying, "From my current observation... this thing doesn't seem to have any other use besides turning you into a bald guy."

"Still don't understand?" When he asked this question, Feng Bujue had already shaved his head and patted the broken hair that had fallen on his clothes.

After pausing for two seconds, Jue-Ge squinted his dead fish eyes, and with a leisurely expression mixed with a hint of egg pain, continued, "I'm bald, and I've become stronger."
