Chapter 2987: Chapter 2988: For Peace of Mind Only

He was well aware of the current situation; this evil entity that suddenly intruded was clearly targeting Xue An’s physical body.

If it truly succeeded, then the Multiverse would be truly over.

After all, all hope of the Multiverse and even the Sky Beyond the Skies was currently pinned on Xue An.

If he were to encounter even the slightest mishap, everyone would fall into a state of eternal damnation.

Huyue understood this better than anyone else, so even when he saw the Earth being destroyed, he did not go berserk—only upon seeing Xue An’s physical body being threatened did he generate the thought of fighting with his life.

At this moment, the black dot in The Multiverse Hologram suddenly slowed down.

No need to ask; that must be Zhang Tianyou’s strategy taking effect.

But this was merely a delaying tactic; everyone knew that this black dot was so formidable that a few cannons couldn’t possibly contend with it.

Zhang Tianyou sped up his speech, while his hands did not stop moving, opening the passage to the chamber where Xue An’s physical body was located.

"The only plan now is for you to quickly take Xue An’s physical body and head to the Sky Beyond the Skies for the slightest chance of survival!"

"Sky Beyond the Skies? How is that possible, it’s so far from here that before I reach there, I’ll be caught by this guy!"

"You don’t need to worry about that, I’ve already made preparations in advance. There’s a teleport button in the chamber. As long as you press it, you and Xue An’s physical body can be teleported to the edge of the Sky Beyond the Skies!"

"And what about you?" Huyue was about to step into the chamber.

"This teleportation requires time; I have to stay behind to buy you time!"

Huyue fell silent.

He clearly understood what staying behind at this time meant.

With the time spent together, Huyue and Zhang Tianyou’s relationship had become extremely close, naturally making him very distressed at heart.

However, Zhang Tianyou laughed cheerfully, "How can a real man act like a little girl? Besides, even if I die here, there’s still a glimmer of hope. As long as Xue An can return safely and restore the timeline, everything still has a chance for rebirth!"

Huyue knew the matter was urgent, he didn’t waste any more words and nodded, "Take care!"

Saying this, he was about to enter the chamber passage.

But just then, a sinister voice came from behind.

"Do you think... you can still escape now?"

As soon as this voice emerged, Zhang Tianyou didn’t hesitate even for a moment and shouted loudly, "Go quickly, don’t look back!"

At the same time, he pressed a button on the armrest of his wheelchair.

Instantly, countless guns of various shapes protruded from the walls and ceiling of the command room, aimed at the corner where the voice came from, and started pouring fire.

The response was truly as quick as lightning.

Huyue also knew the situation was critical and didn’t hesitate even for a moment, darting forward.

But at that moment, the connection channel to Xue An’s physical body suddenly shattered.

Simultaneously, all the ammunition firing towards the corner halted in mid-air and gradually extinguished.

Then, the entity in the corner slowly stood up.

"I already told you, you can’t run, why won’t you listen?"

Looking at this unimaginably ordinary man, Zhang Tianyou’s pupils narrowed, for at that moment, the black dot still existed in The Multiverse Hologram.

Moreover, he couldn’t sense any special aura from this man in front of him.

But the more it was so, the tougher the situation was.

Indeed.

The entity grinned slightly, "Your cannon arrangement is quite clever; if it were another being, they might actually be deterred, but I’m different. As long as I wish, I can have countless versions of myself!"

As he spoke, the entity appeared in every corner of the command room.

Huyue now understood, there was no way to follow Zhang Tianyou’s previous plan.

Thus, without hesitation, he rushed towards the nearest corner intending to eliminate one of them.

Yet the next moment, he sprawled straight onto the ground, unable to even move a finger.

The difference in power had apparently reached an unimaginable level.

So the entity didn’t even bother to look directly at Huyue, nor did it care about Zhang Tianyou.

Indeed, Zhang Tianyou’s cannon blockade was very good, but to it, that was merely an enjoyable little game.

The entity’s eyes flashed, the chamber instantly shattered and disintegrated, revealing Xue An’s closed-eyed seated physical body at the front.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder I couldn’t perceive any information from him; turns out you isolated and sealed him! But I must say, your methods are quite clever!" the entity praised, stepping towards Xue An’s physical body.

"Don’t!" Huyue shouted those two words with all his strength, eyes full of desperation.

Zhang Tianyou sighed lightly, then maneuvered his wheelchair to block the entity’s path.

The entity raised its eyebrows slightly, "You’re a smart person, you should know what the cost is for doing this!"

"I know!"

"Then why still do it? What effect does such a meaningless sacrifice have?" the entity asked with amused interest.

"It has no effect, only for peace of mind!" Zhang Tianyou said calmly.

"Peace of mind? Heh, good answer. Then I’ll grant you that peace!"

As he was about to make a move, he suddenly felt someone hugging his legs.

The entity looked down to find that Huyue, who was supposed to be constrained by him, had somehow freed himself and wrapped his arms around the entity’s legs.

The entity frowned.

But Huyue didn’t care; he knew he was going to die.

Yet he didn’t want to die ignominiously.

Therefore, he bit down hard on the entity’s calf.

But the entity didn’t even flinch.

What a joke, even this body was an illusion; how could such an attack affect it?

But it still felt bothered.

So it sneered, "Since you’re in such a hurry, let me send you on your way first!"

Saying that, it raised its hand to make a downward strike.

But just then, a sharp flash erupted in the distant void.

This sharp flash was so resplendent that it illuminated the entire cosmos in an instant.

The entity was taken aback and looked up.

There, in the far distance, a slender and lonely Crimson Little Sword suddenly appeared.

The Sword Intent was ablaze like a skyrocketing torch, even separated by such distance, it felt as though it was cutting his face.

"This is...," Zhang Tianyou’s pupils contracted, muttering to himself, "the existence from the Earth’s core?"

Back when he was setting up defense measures, he thoroughly investigated the Earth and then discovered something seemed to be dormant in the Earth’s core.

No matter what means he tried, he couldn’t see the true form of this thing, so ultimately he left it be.

Yet unexpectedly, at this very day, this thing has actually awakened.

Winding back time a quarter of an hour, just shortly after the entity left, the bisected Earth’s core was slowly reconnecting.

This was due to inertial force; given the vastness of Earth, even splitting in half would cause them to attract each other and eventually conjoin.

But then, within the slowly reconnecting Earth’s core, a humanoid amber gradually revealed itself.
