Su Shiyu was taken aback.
The sharp screeching of the aliens could be heard not far from the plane. The aerial battle had already begun.
Zong Lin acted swiftly, taking Su Shiyu with him as they flew out of the cabin together.
His arm muscles habitually controlled the force. Then he remembered that Su Shiyu was an ability user and not his lover, so he wouldn’t be hurt by a little force. Feeling somewhat annoyed, he furrowed his brows, no longer deliberately restraining himself—this sensation was rather unfamiliar to him. After all, over the years, the only person he had voluntarily reached out to protect was Shen Jie.
If it weren’t for the crucial importance of the Savior’s identity and the urgent situation that necessitated bringing someone along, he would never have taken a stranger by his side… Not even if it was Shen Jie’s friend.
However, just now, as Su Shiyu was curiously examining the appearance of the flight device, it made him feel somewhat familiar.
Well, he admitted that this Savior, in some ways, did resemble his lover.
For example, they both enjoyed playing games. And they both were curious about new things.
…Is it easier for two people with similar interests to become friends?
Su Shiyu was held by Zong Lin’s arm pressed across his chest, with a flight backpack strapped to his back, creating a barrier between his spine and Zong Lin’s chest.
Although they appeared to be embracing, in reality, only his arm was in contact with Zong Lin—
Even though the exoskeleton material was hard, his arm felt like it was being numbed by Zong Lin’s strength.
He sighed inwardly. He wasn’t quite comfortable with this position.
Su Shiyu said, “Captain Zong, can we change to a more comfortable position?”
Zong Lin, with a stern face, replied stiffly, “No.”
As he spoke, his right hand lance pierced through the chest of a flying alien.
Blood splattered, spraying onto both of them.
A few fresh, scalding blood droplets trickled down Su Shiyu’s eyelashes and cheeks. “…”
Then, he saw a side of Zong Lin that he had never seen before.
Fierce. Brutal. With an extremely heavy aura pressure, his entire body leaked out supernatural abilities. Ordinary supernatural beings beside him would probably have already been oppressed to the point of breathlessness. He was nothing short of a humanoid ultimate weapon.
This humanoid weapon moved from left to right, then back from right to left, its huge bone wings flapping forcefully. Sometimes it soared high and low, sometimes it swiftly broke through the air, constantly accelerating and decelerating, accompanied by splashes of blood from the spear tip and the angry, terrified roar of the aliens.
On average, the speed at which he broke the sound barrier would probably leave even those accustomed to flying fighter jets feeling dizzy. If it were an ordinary person’s body here, it would likely have been cut by the high-speed generated wind blades.
As the battle progressed, all the flying aliens in the northeast of the base began to scatter, fleeing back to their nests in panic.
These aliens , resembling giant mutated leeches, emerged from a cave in the mountains. Now, they were all fleeing into the depths of the cave, and a cyan mist could be seen spreading out from the cave entrance.
However, Zong Lin had no intention of letting them go. With a flap of his wings, he plunged directly into the mist, effortlessly breaking through layers of minor obstacles. Then came the “Soul Lock” and “Soul Chase,” directly killing the aliens inside.

As soon as Zong Lin landed, he immediately let go of Su Shiyu and strode over there. The other team members quickly made way for him.
Only Chen Jiahua noticed Su Shiyu, who stood paler than usual, and hurried over, awkwardly smiling, “Mr. Su, how are you feeling?”
Su Shiyu, with his right hand still covering his eyes, massaged his temples without saying a word.
Silence.
Silence.
Chen Jiahua scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Well, you see, the captain rarely brings people along, and he’s not very good at controlling his strength. In emergencies, things might get a bit… uh, rough. Are you okay?”
Rarely brings people along.
Not very good at controlling his strength.
…Deception.
Su Shiyu lifted his cold green eyes and glanced at Chen Jiahua for a few seconds before saying, “Do you have alcohol swabs? Or disinfectant gel.”
“Huh?” Chen Jiahua made a puzzled sound.
Su Shiyu: “… Tissues will do.”
“Oh, okay, I have some.” Chen Jiahua took out a packet of tissues from his combat uniform and handed it to Su Shiyu.
Su Shiyu took it, removed his gloves, took out a water bottle from his backpack, dampened the tissues, and began to wipe the blood from his face. He then proceeded to wipe his neck and arms, his movements meticulous and deliberate, all the while silently staring in the direction of Zong Lin.
His demeanor was gloomy, and when he stared at someone, it was like a snake waiting for an opportunity to strike, contemplating how to bite.
Chen Jiahua observed him cautiously, shivering slightly.
Oh no, Captain Zong had offended him.
In this world, one can’t afford to offend a healer!
Chen Jiahua wore a bitter expression, racking his brain for a way to make amends.
Su Shiyu suddenly spoke up, “You said he rarely took people with him before. So, did he ever take others on missions before?”
“N-no, Captain Zong doesn’t take people,” Chen Jiahua hurriedly replied, “Usually, he just deals with the aliens directly. If there weren’t so many aliens just now, and if the cabin hadn’t been damaged by them and needed immediate rescue, he wouldn’t have brought you along… So, Captain Zong really didn’t mean it just now…”
“Okay, I understand,” Su Shiyu replied.
Chen Jiahua noticed that the Savior’s complexion seemed to have softened a bit… Was it just his imagination?
Zong Lin was in conversation with the person in charge of C Base.
The person in charge of C Base was a middle-aged handsome man wearing a blue Tang suit and a pair of small round sunglasses.
“We’re extremely grateful! Thank you so much for coming to support us!” The person in charge was visibly excited. “To be honest, the alien attack came so suddenly this time, and the ammunition reserves in the base are almost depleted. If we don’t deal with the main sources of the disasters soon, we’ll only be able to hold on for half a day before complete collapse. You arrived just in time!”
Zong Lin said, “We don’t have much time. Where are the observation data?”
The person in charge gestured and called out, “Observer! Come quickly and brief Captain Zong on the situation regarding the mist outside.”
“Okay!” A young man wearing a green baseball cap hurriedly ran over with his head down and said, “Captain Zong, currently, we’ve observed a total of one hundred and three mists outside the city, and it’s still increasing. Among them, there are thirteen high-level mists posing the greatest threat. Eight of them are located along the southeastern coast, four are in the southwest direction, and one is in the northeast direction…”
“We’ve already dealt with the mist in the northeast direction,” Zong Lin said. “Tell me the coordinates of the remaining twelve locations.”
The young man was momentarily stunned, seemingly unable to believe they had managed to resolve a large mist in such a short time. Then, he became ecstatic and quickly provided detailed coordinates for the other mists.
Zong Lin kept the coordinates in mind, while simultaneously comparing them to the previously predicted location conditions of the Eye of the Unborn by Zhu Wu You—
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. He noticed a small corner of black paper peeking out from the pocket of the green-capped young man.
His thoughts raced, his face betraying no expression. He simply gathered all the leaders of the rescue teams and began assigning different tasks for clearing the mist.

C Base, northwest city district.
Hein was happily humming a tune.
As the commander appointed personally by His Highness to launch a joint attack on humanity this time, Hein was quite pleased with himself.
After all, before this, the head of the Judgement Society had always been that guy, Wu Yan. He was responsible for lurking in the city, motionless all year round, practically turning into a fossil.
Now, that guy, Wu Yan, had to have done something to incur His Highness’s displeasure and been relegated to obscurity. With his chance to shine, Hein was determined to fulfill the mission entrusted to him by His Highness!
Conquering the city was just the first step. Using his abilities to infect everyone in the entire base and turn them into his puppets, then luring the rescuers into a trap, causing humans to slaughter each other—that was Hein’s plan.
The arrival of the “Eden” rescue team could not escape the surveillance of his eyes.
Despite his deep fear of the human brandishing the Pale Spear, the presence of Wu Yan, challenging the “Fate” Rank Two ability user from the human side, gave him confidence that his current location would remain concealed.
At least he himself was a Rank Two existence. Since his current location was extremely safe and those foolish humans hadn’t detected that they had fallen into his trap, he naturally wanted to stay here and enjoy the show—
This leisurely and mocking mindset came to a sudden halt when a space fissure quietly opened not far from him, and a pale spear extended from it. Dozens of eyes suddenly cracked open on Hein’s smiling face, all showing a vacant expression.
Zong Lin!
How could he appear here???
Didn’t he decide to head towards the largest mist to the southeast???
Zong Lin’s face was indifferent, evidently unwilling to waste words with it. With a flap of his bone wings, the spear viciously thrust towards Hein.
As both were “Soul” Rank Two, facing this spear, Hein unexpectedly felt a sense of inevitable despair.
There was no way around it. Its ability wasn’t suited for combat. It was like pitting a schemer against a special forces martial artist. The opponent could easily knock it out with one punch.
Moreover, it sensed— the human before it was already faintly reaching the edge of breaking through Rank Two, touching upon the legendary realm of “God”. Even if it only grasped a tiny bit of that domain, it was beyond its reach at this level.
So, how was its location discovered by Zong Lin???
As the spear pierced its chest, Hein coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Among them, there appeared a traitor!!!
In the blink of an eye, Hein immediately thought of Wu Yan.
One mistake led him out of the temple, allowing the Lord to be taken away by humans. It was forgivable after all, as the Lord eventually returned unharmed and even awakened part of the power of “King”, making them willingly submit and obey.
But this time, his position being exposed couldn’t be explained away as a mistake.
Wu Yan, you scoundrel!!!
As an eyeball fell from Hein’s body, rolling quietly to the side, it transformed into the shape of the world-famous painting “The Scream”, shouting from the depths of its heart: “Lord, save me—”

Dark Domain.
The Temple of aliens.
Transformed back into his youthful form, Shen An, lounging boredly on the throne, fiddled with a small black bird in his hand. Suddenly, he paused, as if listening intently to something.
In front of him, there was a water mirror floating in the air.
In the water mirror, the Observation Center’s tall tower could be seen.
A bird flew by, almost crashing into the glass, but just before impact, it was ensnared by a bundle of red threads and dragged straight in.
Watching Shen Jie pop another “candy” into his mouth, he leaned his head, revealing a slight smile.
His subordinates continued to buzz in his ear, seemingly about something urgent. But Shen An had no time to pay attention.
He rubbed his stomach.
Actually, he was quite hungry too.
So, brother, wake up quickly.
Once he consumed him, neither of them will hunger again.
Becoming the true masters of the world, resonating with eternal time and infinite power.
All suffering. Struggle. Injustice. Shackles. Will all fade away.
Ultimately, immortality will be embraced, eternal and flourishing with triumphant melody.
“All things, all beings, have passed.”
“We are the kings of the world.”
