Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 196 - 8: A Little Planet-Destroying Shock! Yu Jin: There Are So Many Fallen Ones Here
Chapter 196: Chapter 8: A Little Planet-Destroying Shock! Yu Jin: There Are So Many Fallen Ones Here
Time slowly passed.
On Mars, the sun rose in the east.
But this time.
At the end of the Grand Canyon, along with the rising sun, over ten thousand blurry figures appeared.
“They’re here!”
High in midair, the Fallen One’s prince suddenly spoke.
His voice was soft, yet it spread throughout the entire camp.
In that instant.
More than ten thousand Fallen Ones, inside and outside the camp, looked up in unison, gazing toward the end of the canyon.
“They’ve finally come!”
“Those damn humans!”
“…”
The Fallen Ones breathed sighs of relief.
Compared to enduring this suffocating, oppressive tension, they’d much rather fight head-to-head with humans.
“Your Highness!”
“Your decision is truly brilliant!”
“All we have to do is wait here, and the Human Camp will deliver themselves right to our doorsteps!”
Next to the androgynous youth, a Fallen One squad captain chimed in with timely flattery.
The youth said nothing, only stared silently into the distance.
His fury had been building for a very, very long time.
He hoped, truly hoped…
That these foolish humans would endure just a bit longer, and wouldn’t shatter at the first touch.
Thud—
Thump—!
The earth shook, the canyon trembled lightly.
The thunderous march of more than ten thousand Human Unlimiters was overwhelming.
Soon after.
More than ten thousand people arrived outside Energy Hub #13.
The two sides were separated by only a dozen kilometers or so.
Swoosh—
The androgynous youth flew alone out of the camp.
He stood in midair, overlooking the vast human army not far away.
“Who is your leader?”
The androgynous youth spoke blandly.
He was burning with rage, and had no patience to spare, so he got straight to the point, itching to fight.
Swish—
Athena flashed forward, appearing upon the Celestial Vault.
Behind her, her divine Light Wings gently fluttered, exuding a supremely noble aura.
“Hm?”
The androgynous youth was taken aback at the sight of Athena.
“You?”
“Leader of the Human Camp?”
The androgynous youth frowned.
According to the intel he’d received—
The one slaughtering squads of Fallen Ones and seizing a full twelve Fallen Camp Energy Hubs was a human youth!
But right now?
A flamboyant woman had appeared out of nowhere.
Although she looked exquisitely perfect, at this moment, her beauty was the last thing on his mind.
He only wanted to personally crush that damned “human youth” to death!
Up in the sky.
Athena’s golden eyes calmly sized up the androgynous youth.
“Noble?”
“A Fallen One noble?”
“Seems like he’s someone with a significant background.”
Just one glance, and Athena had already made her assessment.
At the same time—
She also sensed the unique “Limit Breaking” aura emanating from this youth.
Clearly, just like her, he also possessed the “Limit Breaking” Talent, able to unleash an Unlimited Value far beyond Tier Two Level Nine in Mars OL.
Athena had long anticipated this and wasn’t surprised at all.
Swish—
She shook her head, lightly flapped her wings, and returned to the human camp.
She hadn’t come here for a decisive battle, nor to seize Energy Hub #13.
Athena was only searching for Yu Jin.
“Wait, wait for him to come.”
Athena relayed this order to the over ten thousand Human Unlimiters in the camp.
Meanwhile—
After confirming that the Fallen One army and its commander were stationed here, she also sent notifications to the squads at other Energy Hubs.
“Rally outside Energy Hub #13!”
“The exact coordinates are…”
On the other side—
After being ignored by Athena, the androgynous youth’s face darkened again.
But he didn’t go off impulsively, nor act rashly.
The opponent’s strength likely wasn’t inferior to his own.
To the androgynous youth, the outcome of this Mars OL event was no longer so important.
Even if they lost this Mars OL, he absolutely had to crush that “human youth” to death!
No, not just kill him—he’d torture him to death, over and over again!
Since childhood, as “Your Highness,” he had never been so humiliated or toyed with by anyone!
To this moment—
His Highness had no idea that Yu Jin hadn’t planned any “lure the tiger away from the mountain or sneak attack the rear”.
It was purely…
Just hitting whatever he found, blundering into everything by chance.
Swoosh—!
The androgynous youth’s figure flickered, returning to the camp.
“Wait!”
“Wait for him to come!”
Their prince’s cold and merciless voice rang out in the ears of over ten thousand Fallen Ones.
…
…
Mars Desert.
Different from Mariner Grand Canyon, where the sun had just risen and it was early morning.
Yu Jin was still shrouded in the night.
“Damn…”
“I really can’t find it!”
Yu Jin was a bit frustrated.
He’d circled around Energy Hub #10 several times, teleporting in every direction.
But—
He just couldn’t find the last Energy Hub #13.
“Gotta hurry.”
“Can’t waste too much time in Wasteland OL…”
Yu Jin remembered the High-dimensional Helmet’s intro mentioning “different time flows.”
Although in his view, Venus and Blue Star were both in the Solar System, so time ought to be synchronized.
And for Blue Star and A3 Planet, the information he’d gotten before said the time rate was also identical.
So all-in-all, Venus and A3’s time should match.
But…
Since the introduction specifically mentioned this, there’s probably something special he didn’t understand.
Yu Jin didn’t care for those “Vanishing Chessboard” storylines.
He definitely didn’t want to spend just a few days on Mars, only to find several months had passed on A3 when he returned.
Swish—
A translucent panel suddenly appeared before Yu Jin’s eyes.
[System Notification——]
[Your commander Carol has seized a Salsa Small Interstellar Fortress *1 (S-6) on your behalf]
[Carol has sent you an application——]
[She wishes for you to descend on the Star System Wasteland as soon as possible. She’s willing to offer you everything, including herself!]
“Uh…”
Yu Jin fell into thought.
Seizing an Interstellar Fortress wasn’t much of a surprise; after all, he’d just sent out the Star Destroyer Carrier and Tier Sixteen Combat Mecha.
Yu Jin just hadn’t expected that right after sending them, there’d be a battle report from the Star System Wasteland already.
“Looks like that airdrop really came in handy?”
“Carol happened to be stuck in a war.”
Yu Jin thought, casting a glance at Carol’s application.
This application…
Seemed a little odd, maybe a bit unserious.
“Once I get to the Star System Wasteland, I’ll have a good chat with Carol and see exactly what’s going on.”
Muttering to himself, Yu Jin pulled his attention back.
“Coordinate Imprint, teleport!”
Yu Jin triggered the thought, and his figure vanished once again.
He decided to change his plan—outrun the night, chase the day.
Nighttime was good for spotting the glow of Energy Hubs, but daytime was better for leveraging his Light Touch Lv9 ability.
Voom—!
Spatial ripples spread out as Yu Jin appeared again.
“Hmm?”
“Nothing.”
Voom—!
Yu Jin vanished again.
He continued teleporting over and over in a set direction.
He was getting closer and closer to “daytime.”
Finally.
The edge of his vision started to glow with faint white light.
“Keep going!”
Yu Jin did not hold back, activating teleportation again.
This time—
He deliberately charged up longer so he could teleport a much greater distance in one go.
He was going to cross directly into “daytime.”
Voom—!
Massive space ripples surged forward.
…
…
Outside Energy Hub #13.
In the center of the camp packed with more than ten thousand Fallen Ones.
Voom—!
An overwhelmingly strong spatial fluctuation suddenly began to spread out.
“Hmm?!”
The androgynous youth, who’d been staring into the distant sky, suddenly spun around, his gaze razor-sharp.
“Y-Your Highness…”
As more than ten thousand Fallen Ones looked around in confusion, panic appeared on their faces.
Panic—because they were afraid of their prince’s anger.
They quickly scattered to the sides.
In a mere instant—
An open ground appeared in the center of the camp.
After the crowd had parted—
Everyone saw—
The intense space fluctuations were originating from the very center of the open ground.
Voom—!
A single breath later—
In the void, a small, clearly visible teleportation channel appeared.
Over ten thousand Fallen Ones froze in shock at this sight.
And high above, the androgynous youth’s expression was changing rapidly.
He stared intently at the churning void.
Voom—!
In the void—
A figure finally emerged.
A—
Human youth!
“Eh?”
The one who’d teleported in was none other than Yu Jin.
After appearing, he looked around, slightly shocked by the sea of Fallen Ones.
“Wow, so many people.”
“Wait, no, so many Fallen Ones.”
Yu Jin didn’t bother lowering his voice, so everyone—over ten thousand Fallen Ones in the entire camp—could hear him loud and clear.
For a moment—
The camp was dead silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop…
