Chapter 828: The Resolved Determination

A four-colored Law storm ravaged the sky, turning the gloomy and dreary Kaslandis Ruins upside down.

The crowd on the skiff below was completely dumbfounded.

The black harpoon in the Rugged Man's hand clattered onto the deck, but he did not lower his head to pick it up.

These top Professionals who once dominated The Seventh World finally saw the bottom line of the youth's strength before them.

Even the most sluggish defense-type Professional understood that their health bar could be emptied at any time when facing the intertwined Law halos above Zhou Huai's head.

The System panels in their minds flashed frantically with deadly red warnings, urging them to escape from this incomprehensible monster as soon as possible.

"The battle just now… he was basically treating us as sparring partners to test the data of his skills."

The Cold Youth swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his teeth chattering, "If he had gone all out from the very beginning, our health points wouldn't have lasted even a second before being cleared to zero."

Cold sweat seeped from the Twin Brutes' forehead, recalling how he had actually attempted to use physical attacks to go head-to-head with the opponent; this was simply dancing on the sickle of death.

Zhou Huai did not let them tremble under this high-dimensional coercion for too long.

With a slight movement of his mind, he retracted his externalized mana value.

The berserk Abyssal Magic Dragon phantom dissipated, the purplish-gold Karma halo dimmed, and the Void Realm blades flying all over the sky retreated back into the spatial rifts.

In merely the span of a breath, that oppressive feeling capable of crushing the firmament vanished into thin air.

Zhou Huai's figure flashed, dismissing his flight skill, and he steadily landed upon that dilapidated wooden skiff.

He even removed that heavy abyssal blood battle armor, changing into a neat black windbreaker, and the abyssal blood dragon spear in his hand also transformed into dots of dark golden light spots, storing them into the System's storage space.

Right now, he restrained all his sharpness, resembling an ordinary Professional seen everywhere.

But everyone present no longer dared to hold even a shred of contempt for him, and even their breathing became much lighter.

Zhou Huai walked to the bow of the boat, his gaze sweeping past the crowd and finally landing on the emaciated Elder Mo.

"How is it?"

With his hands tucked into his windbreaker pockets, Zhou Huai said in a steady tone, "Now, do I have the qualifications to deal with that Sea God?"

The sea breeze blew past, and the atmosphere on the skiff fell into a brief silence.

The Rugged Man picked up the dropped harpoon, his thick arm still faintly throbbing with pain.

He looked at Zhou Huai, lowered his head, and his fingers gripping the harpoon tightened slightly.

"Elder Mo…"

The Rugged Man stepped forward, lowering his voice, "If we rely only on the few of us, even if we waste any more time, it is impossible to wear away even a layer of skin from that monster. However, this powerhouse from the current world—his panel attributes and Law comprehension have completely exceeded the conventional scope."

The Cold Youth also leaned over and chimed in, "That's right, Elder Mo! With that power from just now, perhaps he possesses the burst damage to slay that monster!"

"Haven't we guarded this place to the death precisely to stop the Sea God's resurrection and prevent it from being taken away by that person surnamed Duan?"

The armless Twin Brutes gritted teeth and said, "The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Since he also wants to deal with that monster, why don't we lead the way for him? This is our only chance for a comeback in The Seventh World!"

The crowd successively voiced their suggestions.

After Zhou Huai displayed that unbelievable upper limit of strength, this group of remnants of the old era, who had fallen into despair for several epochs, finally saw a faint dawn in the endless night.

Faced with everyone's persuasion, Elder Mo still frowned, his vicissitudes-filled face written full of hesitation.

He knew the monster's background all too well.

"Young man, your strength is shocking."

Elder Mo looked at Zhou Huai and cleared his throat, "Any single one of your powers, pulled out individually, is enough to establish a top-tier guild force in the former The Seventh World. But…"

Elder Mo sighed and shook his head, "That monster is not an ordinary Quasi-God Level alien beast. Mr. Duan even pushed its maximum health points to a point where even the System cannot quantify it."

"Once the battle starts, the skills it releases—even an ordinary auto-attack—come with a one-hit-kill mechanism. Do you have the certainty to forcibly empty its health bar in an environment with a zero fault tolerance rate?"

Hearing this, Zhou Huai smiled.

"Whether it can be emptied or not, we'll only know after trying."

He raised his head, gazing directly into Elder Mo's eyes, his tone calm, "Moreover, you should be clearer than me that we don't have much time to waste now."

Zhou Huai paused and threw out a name sufficient to shatter Elder Mo's psychological defense line, "Mr. Duan… will find the specific coordinates of this ruins before long."

"Once he arrives here a step ahead, devours all the Law Origin within the Sea God, and completes his high-dimensional divine persona, at that time, not only will the current world face a great purge, but you remnants of The Seventh World will also be completely wiped out by him, unable even for your Soul to reunite in the data stream."

The three words "Mr. Duan" made Elder Mo's figure sway.

That's right, that mastermind full of lies who calculated the entire world was the source of all disasters.

If the Sea God fell into Mr. Duan's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Elder Mo closed his eyes and took a breath of the fishy-smelling sea breeze.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze became resolute.

"What you said is right."

Elder Mo let out a long sigh, "Things have come to this; we can only take a risk and try. We must solve that monster before the one surnamed Duan arrives at this ruins!"

He turned his head to look at the few followers beside him and said in a deep voice, "Hold on tight. We are going to the deepest part of this ruins right now!"

Hearing Elder Mo's command, the Rugged Man and the others turned solemn, each finding their positions and gripping the handrails on the edge of the skiff tightly.

Zhou Huai stood at the bow of the boat, watching Elder Mo's subsequent actions with keen interest.

Seeing Elder Mo hunched over his body, he walked in front of an inconspicuous wooden pillar in the center of the skiff.

He extended his withered fingers and casually tapped three times on the wooden pillar.

Click—

A crisp sound of a mechanism locking echoed out.

Immediately following, this originally dilapidated wooden skiff suddenly burst out with a dazzling azure ghost light.

In Zhou Huai's field of vision, the System's detection panel popped up a series of information, but the data of this skiff was unexpectedly all garbled code.

This proved that this inconspicuous little boat was likewise a top-tier vehicle item crafted by this SSS-rank Divine Craftsman!

As the azure ghost light spread, extremely intricate formation patterns interwoven with machinery and Laws surfaced on the wooden hull of the skiff.

Hum—!

A layer of translucent blue energy protective shield rose from around the gunwales, closing together in mid-air, wrapping the entire skiff in a 360-degree dead-angle-free manner, completely isolating the outside fishy sea breeze and Death Qi.
