Chapter 2813: Recovering Superdimensional Instruments

Xu Huo pointed to the position he just came from, “I’m just a passerby.”

The Blue Robe Man didn’t even flinch, just considering him a helper of the injured man. In the very next moment, with murderous intent in his eyes, he moved in front of them, clapping his hands together: “Crush!”

Two tremendous forces, covering an area of about ten meters, suddenly closed in from above and below, trapping the injured man and Xu Huo in the middle.

The moment the forces attacked, the passive defense props on Xu Huo and the other man activated automatically. However, the shields formed were forcibly compressed under these forces, quickly squeezing their movement space. Within it, Xu Huo couldn’t recklessly use his Time Force, but the Blue Robe Man was too close. The props’ activation seemed to require entering a certain range, so there wasn’t much distance between them. When the injured man used his instrument to block the pressure from above and below, he then released a strong electric current with the instrument, taking advantage of the opponent’s dodging to stack the use of “Forced Flashback” and “dreamy false teeth” traits, slowing his actions before killing him with a single blow from the Time Force!

When the device of the injured man broke the pressure off them, the third Blue Robe Man also rapidly aged under the influence of the Time Force. The appearance, originally not matching his age due to evolution, quickly deteriorated and sagged. White hair and wrinkles appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, overwhelming the player’s vigorous blood and vitality in his terrified eyes.

“One’s dead and you still dare to come over.” Xu Huo watched coldly as the person breathed his last.

The injured man behind him also remained silent at the scene, only speaking up after a moment, “Time-Evolved Players are rare even at Rank-A Wormhole Points. They are very cautious but not frightened enough.”

The nearby players had suffered significant casualties due to the Blue Robe Man. Although players from Zone 022 quickly reinforced, there were also many attackers. There weren’t many near Xu Huo and the injured man.

“Do you have a grudge with Zone 022, or are you specifically here to steal this thing?” Xu Huo pointed to the Superdimensional Instruments above.

“Lan Fangzhi,” the injured man introduced himself. “This Superdimensional Item accidentally leaked out from the Lan Family. It was intended to be used as a shield, providing defense against any form of attack, including Time Force. But because it’s an unfinished product, the Superdimensional Space Power generated is unstable, and any attack could cause the power to go berserk, which is why I’m here to retrieve it.”

“As for the others, they genuinely have a grudge against Zone 022.”

Xu Huo wasn’t concerned with who Zone 022 had a grudge against. He looked at the Superdimensional Instruments above, “The Superdimensional Instruments at Rank-A Wormhole Points, do they generate Superdimensional Space Power using Special Items, or do they use instruments to temporarily acquire Superdimensional Space Power from other spaces?”

Lan Fangzhi looked at his profile, thought for a second, and said, “A few instruments can generate Superdimensional Space Power on their own. You, as a Spatial Evolver, should know when manipulating Spatial Powers that without control, artificially accumulated Spatial Power will quickly dissipate and return to normal.”

“That’s the stable state of Spatial Power,” Xu Huo turned back. “Are there really props or instruments that can generate Superdimensional Space Power?”

If it’s sourced from other spaces, that isn’t surprising. After all, instruments that cross Wormhole Points can be created, and finding a space where Spatial Power is unstable isn’t hard.

But if props and instruments can generate Superdimensional Space Power—wouldn’t that be something beyond Super Instruments, as even the Spatial Power in the Water Rubik’s Cube hasn’t reached that level?

“Spatial Evolvers can momentarily gather Spatial Power. Superdimensional Space Power, while difficult, isn’t impossible,” Lan Fangzhi roughly saw his aim and said, “However, such core technology is controlled by the Game Government, and not many companies can really produce similar Superdimensional Instruments. What you see was accidentally obtained by the Lan Family, and a lot of people have already been lost in the course of research and production.”

“Can I borrow it to take a look?” Xu Huo asked again.

Lan Fangzhi was a bit hesitant, “The core part appears just to be a chip embedded with Special Ore. Starting the chip’s generation instrument is also a technical difficulty.”

Xu Huo wouldn’t pass up this opportunity, “I’ll help you recover the instrument.”

Lan Fangzhi considered briefly and agreed.

Xu Huo’s assistance was straightforward. Upon learning that retrieving the Superdimensional Instruments didn’t require much time, he directly used Time Force to form an encirclement around the instrument. No one dared to directly collide with this barricade. As for other attacks, as long as the players from Zone 022 hadn’t reached the point of desperation, they wouldn’t sacrifice that many Law Enforcement Team players to perish together.

And perhaps, they were reluctant to lose the Superdimensional Instruments.

“Hurry up. Once they think holding onto the Superdimensional Instruments is hopeless, they won’t let you take it away even at the cost of destroying it,” Xu Huo reminded Lan Fangzhi.

Lan Fangzhi was confident and had already set up prop instruments for defense, in case Zone 022 acts in desperation.

However, the dynamics of player battles can change instantly. Upon realizing they couldn’t break through, the Law Enforcement Team players ceased their small-scale attacks and quickly disappeared within the city—this meant they were abandoning both the Superdimensional Instruments and this city!

Seeing this, Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure this instrument was ‘accidentally’ lost from your family and not intentionally used to set you up?”

Lan Fangzhi’s expression didn’t change. He simply said, “If that’s the case, it’s better. At least they aren’t using it to cause a large-scale massacre.”

The moment his words landed, powerful spatial impacts swept in from all around the city. Already dilapidated, the city quickly disintegrated under the impact, forming a circular wall of dust rushing toward the city’s center.

Without even considering the potential consequences had the attack actually affected the Superdimensional Instruments, any survivors left in the city had already become abandoned, obliterated under the crushing Spatial Power.

At this moment, the barrier deployed by the Superdimensional Instruments had been retracted under the operation of a spherical robot. The originally transparent ring took on a semi-transparent form after shutting down. Lan Fangzhi grasped it, then nodded at Xu Huo. He subsequently released a small, perforated pendant. When the prop took effect, most of the players and ordinary people near the city’s center, Xu Huo included, were transferred to another city.

Of course, this was still not safe enough for Xu Huo and the injured man, so after a short pause, they picked a divisional Return Ticket and directly left Zone 022.

Standing on a moderately bustling street, the passersby seemed accustomed to players suddenly appearing. After a brief surprise, they detoured around them.

“No one will find us here for a while. Let’s find a place to sit,” said Lan Fangzhi.
