Chapter 869
Chapter 869
While Lin Yu fled hastily in the depths of the void because he sensed the cold scrutiny of the observer, the main control room of the space station was experiencing a dramatic ups and downs of emotions from despair to ecstasy, and then to deeper doubts.
The last images and data streams sent back by the sensor clearly showed that Nanook's suffocating body had completely disintegrated and turned into a torrent of energy that was absorbed by Lin Yu.
On the main screen, Lin Yu's figure gradually became clear in the center of the energy storm. Although his body exuded a strange, heart-pounding red luster of destruction, his body also seemed to have strange alienated characteristics.
But his vital signs stubbornly fell from the unstable peak, tending to an unprecedented stability that contained huge energy.
"Success...success?! Lin Yu...he really..." Estelle covered her mouth, her eyes instantly red, the great joy made her almost incoherent.
She looked at the figure on the screen that was both familiar and unfamiliar, her heart filled with gratitude for having survived the disaster.
Lin Ruan, who was standing by, threw herself directly into her mother Ruan Mei's arms, burying her little face in her arms, her shoulders shaking violently with sobs, but this time, it was tears that were released after being suppressed to the extreme.
"Dad...Dad is fine..." she repeated with sobs, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.
However, in stark contrast to the pervasive joy was the icy expression on Heita's face in front of the console, and the deep worry that had not dissipated in Ruan Mei's eyes.
"No..." Heita's voice was low, and his fingertips quickly magnified and replayed the details of Lin Yu's microscopic expressions and energy fluctuations within a few seconds after he absorbed the energy.
"Look here... the moment he stabilized, his pupils contracted briefly and violently, and his neck muscles tensed. This is a typical startle reaction."
"Immediately afterwards, all the energy around him was forcibly restrained in a nearly instinctive and extremely skillful manner, as if... as if he was avoiding detection."
"In the end, he almost burst out at full speed, running for his life."
She turned to Ruan Mei, "Ruan Mei, what did you sense?"
Ruan Mei patted her daughter's back gently, but kept her eyes tightly closed.
In her palm, the emerald green pendant was pulsating wildly at an unprecedented frequency, its light flickering.
"It's not joy...it's fear." She opened her eyes, "In that moment just now, there was a feeling of almost suffocation, as if something scared him.
At this moment, a violent spatial disturbance ripple suddenly flashed through the remote monitoring window on the side of the main screen, and then the signal became extremely unstable, and the picture was filled with snow and noise.
"The signal is strongly interfered with! The spatial coordinates are locked!" Esther exclaimed. She found that the quantum channel used between the space station and Lin Yu seemed to be thrown into deep water, with huge resistance.
At the same time, Lin Yu, who was speeding through the void, also encountered unprecedented difficulties.
He was eager to return home and tried to directly use the power of pioneering destiny to connect to the teleportation anchor point on the space station and make an instant jump.
However, when he mobilized his power, he felt that the void around him became like solidified amber, and the originally smooth path was blocked by an invisible and absolute force.
The pioneering power was like hitting an invisible wall that spanned the universe and was bounced back abruptly.
This feeling is more oppressive.
He was trapped in an invisible cage!
"not good!"
Lin Yu's heart was shocked. This absolute control over the spatial level was far beyond Nanook's, and was more like a direct domination.
Just when his mind was shaken and he was thinking of a countermeasure quickly, something strange happened!
In the void not far in front of him, violent ripples appeared in the space.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of huge, gray hands with a texture like stone statues penetrated the space without any warning and slowly stretched out.
These palms were enormous, with the width of their fingertips exceeding that of a small starship. They were covered with weathering marks and cracks that seemed to have been eroded by billions of years, yet they exuded a cold, absolute, and unquestionable feeling.
The moment they appeared, the chaotic energy turbulence around them subsided instantly, and the broken space was forcibly smoothed out, as if the entire universe was bowing to them.
The stone statue's palm had a clear target, with its five fingers slightly open, and it closed towards Lin Yu's position in a slow but unavoidable manner.
It was not a swift attack, but more like a precise capture.
In the palm of his hand, one could vaguely see countless extremely tiny runes constantly appearing and disappearing, flowing and forming a natural cage.
An unprecedented sense of crisis instantly soaked Lin Yu's whole body like ice water!
This felt more purely terrifying than facing Nanook's wrath!
Nanook wanted to destroy him, and these stone hands wanted to erase him.
Completely and cleanly erase this variable from the picture of the universe!
The watcher took action!
This thought flashed through Lin Yu's mind instantly.
The survival instinct and the new and restless original power in the body are stimulated at the same time!
He no longer tried to hide, because hiding was no longer effective in front of these eyes.
He did not choose to confront the seemingly invincible giant stone hand head-on, but instead used the spear that was created by condensing all his strength to stab fiercely into the seemingly perfect runes flowing on the giant hand when it closed.
An extremely tiny, fleeting energy pause! This was an extraordinary intuition about energy that he had gained after consuming Nanook's essence!
boom! ! !
The collision between the spear and the barrier in the stone statue's palm did not cause an explosion, but instead made a teeth-grinding tearing sound as if the laws of the two worlds were rubbing against and offsetting each other.
Wherever the tip of the spear touched, spider-web-like cracks spread across the space like a broken mirror, and the rules of that area were temporarily disrupted!
It's now!
Lin Yu transformed into a stream of light, increasing his speed to beyond his own limit, almost at the cost of burning his own origin, and narrowly squeezed out from the fleeting crack in the rules!
As a result, there was an extremely slight, almost imperceptible pause in the closing movement of the stone statue's giant hands.
Without even looking back, he put all his strength into escaping, speeding up to the limit in the direction of the space station.
Behind him, the pair of giant gray stone hands slowly retracted the shattered void, as if they had never appeared.
But that kind of cold feeling of being "marked" by a higher-dimensional existence was like a thorn in the flesh, firmly imprinted in the depths of Lin Yu's soul, and was also clearly transmitted to the perception of Ruan Mei and the Black Tower in the space station through the resonance of the Star Seed.
There was dead silence in the control room.
The joy on Estella and Lin Ruan's faces had long since frozen, replaced by deeper fear.
Heita looked at the remaining spatial disturbance data on the screen and the pendant in Ruan Mei's hand beating wildly, and slowly exhaled, his tone heavier than ever before.
"We... may be in big trouble. A being far older and more absolute than even the Star God."
