Chapter 829
Chapter 829
Nanook's huge golden eyes stared at Lin Yu, the destructive frenzy surging in his eyes almost overflowed, and the dark purple energy around him was like boiling magma, constantly surging and expanding.
His arm, which oozed golden blood from its broken part, trembled violently, as if venting immense anger and unwillingness, and his voice was as hoarse as the friction of rusty iron.
"Death? I am the Star God of Destruction, the end of all things! I alone grant death, and death has never come to me!"
Before he finished speaking, Nanook's light arm condensed by golden blood suddenly stretched forward, and endless dark purple destructive energy poured out like a flood, turning into countless twisted and hideous energies, shooting towards Lin Yu like an overwhelming force.
Each energy blade carries a terrifying force that can shatter stars. Wherever it passes, ripples appear in the universe, as if it will collapse at any time.
A cold light flashed in Lin Yu's golden vertical pupils, and the dragon's tail suddenly swung out behind him like a flexible whip, bringing up a sharp sound of breaking wind.
At the same time, the vortex of greed around him spun wildly. The dark golden vortex was like a bottomless abyss, swallowing all the energy that was coming towards it.
As he absorbed more and more energy, the dark golden scales on his body shone brighter and his dragon-like features became more obvious.
There was even a faint outline of dark golden dragon wings slowly condensing behind him.
“Nanook, your so-called destiny is nothing but a joke in front of my greedy power!” Lin Yu took a step forward suddenly. On the dragon claws, the dark golden and dark purple energies intertwined and merged with each other, bursting out with an even more terrifying light.
He leaped forward at an extremely fast speed, leaving a dark golden afterimage in the universe.
The dragon claw, carrying the power of devouring and blending, slammed hard into Nanook's chest.
That is where his several huge golden wounds are located, and it is also the core source of his power.
"Puff!" With a muffled sound, a large amount of golden blood instantly burst out from the wound on Nanook's chest. These golden bloods no longer condensed into light arms as before, but turned into countless golden light spots and were madly absorbed by Lin Yu's greedy vortex.
Nanook let out a painful roar, his huge body trembled violently, and the energy in his body rapidly dissipated like the tide.
He could clearly feel that his core strength was being drained away bit by bit by Lin Yu. The feeling of weakness that came from the depths of his soul was something he had never experienced since he was born.
"No... I am destruction... I cannot lose..." Nanook's voice became weaker and weaker, his giant eyes began to lose their luster, the energy around him completely dissipated, and his huge body slowly floated towards the depths of the universe like a puppet without support.
Lin Yu hovered in place, watching Nanook's figure gradually fade away and dim. His dragon form slowly faded away and he returned to his human appearance.
He still felt a dull pain in his body, which was the injury caused by Nanook's self-explosion of energy just now. However, with the slow repair of the abundant energy, it had almost healed.
Seeing the Star God retreat, the train door slowly opened and Lin Yu returned to the train.
Ji Zi, Walter and others walked over quickly and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Yu was safe and sound.
Liuying immediately ran to Lin Yu, carefully checked his body, and then hugged him, "Great, you're okay! I was so worried about you."
March Seven walked to Lin Yu's side and looked at the direction where Nanook disappeared in the distance, with a complicated look in his eyes, "Nanook...this Star God of Destruction, was defeated just like that?"
"Maybe." Lin Yu smiled. "At least in the short term, he won't bother us again, but we can't take it lightly."
Walter patted Lin Yu's shoulder, his eyes full of praise, "Lin Yu, you did a great job. You have made a great contribution to repelling Nanook this time."
Silver Wolf crossed his arms and looked Lin Yu up and down with interest. "Not bad, Lin Yu, you hid it well enough. You have even figured out the dragon form. Next time you encounter a strong enemy, you must use it early to save us from worrying."
Lin Yu smiled helplessly.
The dragon form cannot be revealed all the time. Just the tail behind him is enough to make him uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he can hide his dragon transformation and also get the physical bonus after the dragon transformation.
While everyone was talking, Heita, who was standing next to the sofa, suddenly spoke with a solemn voice, "Lin Yu, I feel that Nanook's energy has not completely dissipated. It seems... as if a part of it has merged into your body."
“But maybe that’s not a bad thing.”
"Although Nanook's destructive energy is violent, it is also extremely powerful. After all, it is the energy of a Star God. If you can fully control it, it will be of great help to your strength improvement."
Lin Yu nodded, that's true.
...
In Lin Yu's room, the light was like a veil, dispelling the eternal coldness of deep space.
Lin Yu half leaned on the sofa, and Heita's words were like a stone thrown into still water, creating ripples in his heart.
He called up the system panel that only he could see, his eyes fixed on the two glaring lines of numbers.
「Destruction: Level 9 Energy: 99/10」
「Gluttony: Level 9 Energy: 99/10」
It was obvious that only a little energy was needed to complete the level breakthrough, but these two energy bars were like gears stuck by an invisible hand, and they did not move at all.
"This broken system is pretending to be dead again." Lin Yu complained in his heart, with a helpless arc at the corner of his mouth.
The more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed. This system's behavior was very similar to that of the "joyful" star god Aha, who was famous for his "bad taste."
Maybe, this system was not researched by various star gods, but was the work of Aha, or even... Aha himself was hiding in this system, watching him scratching his head over the sky coins and his destiny with great interest.
Once the thought comes to mind, it grows wildly like a vine.
He thought of the "System Entity Exchange" in the system mall, and he was still short of the last 100 million Dome Coins, which was an astronomical figure.
Without missions, there is no source of Dome Coins. This is a dead end.
The only main quest, "Collect Twenty Destinies (13/20)", has a blank reward column, which makes it even more weird.
Lin Yu's mind flashed back to the moment when Liuying handed her her favorite cake, and the system's prompt light lit up and went out in an instant, and she shook her head subconsciously.
It’s not that he can’t accept those “favorability tasks”, but he feels that turning pure emotions into items on a task list is too blasphemous.
What's more, those tasks can only be completed by various strange XP and actions.
Let’s not talk about whether Xing and the others would agree. Even if they agreed, Lin Yu would not do this.
When it comes to feelings, it’s a mutual decision.
Although you can accept it, I don't want to 'hurt' you like this.
"Let's just rely on this main quest...but what exactly is the reward?"
My thoughts drifted to the remaining seven destinies.
He slowly closed his eyes and sorted them out one by one in his consciousness.
"Breeding" Taizi Yuros, also known as the "Insect King".
Lin Yu felt a chill just by recalling the "global locust plague" described in the materials, the terrifying swarm of insects that covered the sky and could tamper with everything as "insects".
"The Zerg are so disgusting, I don't even want to get involved with them. I'll just exclude them."
Akivelli.
This fallen star god is the god closest to humans, and the Star Train is his creation.
Lin Yu could clearly feel the pioneering energy flowing in his body, but he could never touch the pioneering destiny itself.
"The core area of the train, Achieveri's logbook, Pegana..." He murmured, remembering the legend of Achieveri's death while searching for the endpoint of the "Tree of Existence." "Perhaps, deep within the train, lies a clue to exploration."
Balance each other.
This one of the oldest star gods is in charge of "dynamic balance" and adheres to absolute neutrality. He even watched coldly as "Order" Taiyi was absorbed by "Harmony".
Lin Yu felt the thirteen mixed fate energies in his body, with varying levels. "Use greed to devour and integrate them, bringing their energy levels to a similar level and breaking the existing balance... Theoretically, this can attract his attention, but whether he will pay attention to me is hard to say."
The myth of "mystery".
He believed that the universe was inexhaustible, that truth was an illusion, and that he would bring down the "fog of thought" and the "rain of the senses."
Lin Yu frowned, "It's only possible to encounter it when you are not conscious and your mind is confused. You can't deliberately put yourself in danger for this, right?"
"The End" the last king.
The existing star gods should be the "faith" of the star core hunters.
"Liuying and the others are star core hunters. We'll have to ask them later how we can get in touch with 'The End'."
"Immortal" Dragon.
Although this ancient star god has fallen, he still influences the Vajra Clan in the form of "transformation and reincarnation".
Lin Yu felt his increasingly obvious dragon-like characteristics, dragon teeth, dragon scales, dragon tail... his power was increasing, but he could never touch the core of "immortality", eternal life.
"Oboros is 'Greedy,' yet he manifests himself as a dragon... The Dragon Ancestor is definitely not dead, he's simply been 'reborn' in a different form. But I'm neither a Dragonborn nor do I have a direct resonance with 'Immortality.' Why would He bless me?"
There is one last unknown fate... Lin Yu's thoughts fell into deeper confusion.
He opened his eyes again and looked back at the system panel.
Those two "99/10" numbers were like two swords hanging over his head, constantly reminding him of his bottleneck.
What concerned him even more was the star core in his body. It was as silent as the abyss, yet faintly resonated with the energies of the thirteen destinies, as if there were countless invisible threads in the darkness, tightly entwining them.
"System, star core, multiple destinies..." Lin Yu whispered, his heart tightening slightly.
He increasingly felt that his own existence itself was a huge mystery.
The origin of the system, the existence of the star core, the causes of multiple destinies... everything pointed to a possibility that he dared not think about deeply.
Perhaps you are a "chess piece" in a bigger chess game, or even the "key" to shifting the balance of the universe's destiny.
"Aha...if it's really you," Lin Yu looked at the empty room, as if talking to some imaginary being, "what on earth do you want from me?"
...
There was no response, only the low hum of the train engine, coming through the deck like the heartbeat of the universe.
