At this moment, Lin Qianxuan had a turn to act.

He slowly typed a line of text.

[Lin Qianxuan (looking at Tosa): Do you think I would betray my best friend?]

Tosa’s expression became slightly subtle upon hearing this.

[Tosa (narrowing his eyes): Witch, as a Lower City person, you even have a real friend. It’s enviable, but unfortunately, today you all must die here!!]

[Zhang Juan (scoffing): Are you trying to make me laugh? Although my little underling’s skills are average, they’re more than enough to deal with you!]

[Tosa (coldly waving his hand): Go! Kill them!]

At Tosa’s command, the people behind him all drew their weapons and launched an attack on the game character and Zhang Juan.

“Swish~!”

“Swish swish swish~!”

Rays of orange energy beams shot out from bottle-like weapons, heading straight for the game character and Zhang Juan, even hitting Yanos and others nearby.

The place was wide open, making it impossible to dodge, except for Yanos, the others were directly pierced by the beams, their bodies melted and destroyed.

The speed of the beams was too fast, such that the game character didn’t react in time and couldn’t protect them.

On the game character’s side, they had already used the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to peer into their own destiny image, condensed divine energy, easily blocking several beams by manipulating the water flow, effectively protecting Zhang Juan, while simultaneously raising their hand and releasing water blade streams, decapitating all attackers.

Some of the water streams aimed at Tosa automatically dissipated before getting close, making Lin Qianxuan, watching from the screen, slightly concerned.

[Tosa (slightly shocked, grabbing his subordinate’s weapon): Use maximum power! Let’s see how he blocks this!]

Tosa, seemingly dissatisfied with his subordinates’ attacks, directly grabbed a large metal “bottle.” The mouth of the bottle aimed at the game character, rings of light lit up on the bottle, and a thick beam of light blasted out from its mouth.

“Boom~!”

This time, the game character didn’t dare to block it directly, as if he had seen something through the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven.

The game character used water flow to wrap himself and Zhang Juan, moving them to the side preemptively.

Meanwhile, the beam hit where they had dodged from, creating a damage trail on the ground that stretched dozens of meters, over half a meter deep, with molten lava flowing, quite intimidating.

Lin watching the game character easily battle on the screen thought the weapon was underwhelming, only to be surprised by its lethality!

Such an attack, in terms of sheer destructiveness, was already at a Celestial Rank level.

And it seemed like this was just a relatively ordinary weapon in this world?

After one strike, Tosa’s weapon seemed to have overrun its limits and went into meltdown, the bottle’s body starting to dissolve.

[Tosa (discarding the scrapped weapon, discontented expression): A defective product is a defective product, the regulations in Upper City are too strict, even a heat-melting bottle is just this obsolete model…..]

At this time, the remaining opponents, overwhelmed by the game character, no longer dared to attack and hid behind Tosa, watching the game character.

Meanwhile, the game character cautiously watched Tosa, seemingly wary.

[Zhang Juan (whispering in Xuan Country language to remind you): His superpower is called “Material Decomposition,” a Tier Four power, ordinary materials can’t block it, but his spirit is his weakness, the range of his power interference is within ten meters, avoid close contact, a long-range attack will easily defeat him!]

[Tosa (sneering): No matter what you say, you’re heading down a dead end!]

Almost the moment he finished talking, Tosa lunged toward the game character.

His speed wasn’t slow, although not reaching the speed of sound, the display showed it at least at two hundred meters per second.

This kind of speed was already at a Celestial Rank standard.

Of course, in front of the game character, it was inadequate.

The game character remembered Zhang Juan’s advice, a stream of water wrapped around them, carrying them rapidly retreating, while simultaneously sending a water surge rushing toward Tosa.

Tosa undoubtedly couldn’t react in time, but the moment water neared, it started to decompose, along with everything within his ten-meter radius.

Metal, earth, even air, everything turned into particles.

Of course, his decomposition seemingly hadn’t reached the atomic level, but even so, it was terrifying.

The game character casually sent out two more Spirit Swords, but they decomposed before nearing, failing to get within five meters of Tosa.

The decomposition had a certain speed; the more concentrated the material, the slower the decomposition, but even so the Spirit Sword’s speed still wasn’t quite enough.

Lin Qianxuan was startled.

Starting to understand why the game character was previously cautious.

This was the real world, where absolute level suppression almost didn’t exist.

Even if the game character had terrifyingly strong attributes and abilities, seemingly without weaknesses, encountering an enemy with such a unique means, he could still potentially falter.

Although divine energy and water flow attacks were powerful, they couldn’t get close, the game character needed other means to kill Tosa.

Lin Qianxuan felt maybe the use of Spirit Art could be tried.

Spiritual Energy had special rules, even the multiverse couldn’t simulate it, it wasn’t easily decomposed.

However, the game character didn’t resort to using Spirit Art like Lin Qianxuan thought, upon seeing the Spirit Sword fail, he became fully cautious, the multiverse instantly transformed into a Holy Spear, then was thrown out.

Silently and instantaneously, the Holy Spear pierced through Tosa’s right eye, blood sprayed from his cranial pressure, half his skull was veiled in blood.

Describing all this sounds lengthy, but in reality, it happened in less than a second.

The scene flashed by, Tosa’s body continued to dash a distance due to inertia, brain matter scattered all over.

The next scene showed him lying in a pit of his own decomposition, his left face still wore a grimacing look, staring into the void.

Severely wounded, but somehow still alive, his life force was terrifyingly tenacious.

[Tosa (in pain, furious, retrieving an item from his bosom): Let’s all die together!]

Tosa pulled out a blue cube the size of a fist from his bosom, immediately proclaiming these words.

In chorus with these words, the game character’s Holy Spear instantly flew out, carrying the small cube high into the air.

One scene later, a blast of light appeared.

“Boom~!”

A dazzling explosion light dyed the entire sky, the shockwave lifted metal debris around the factory, sending them flying.

This was even with being miles away from the explosion epicenter; being closer was unimaginable.

When everything subsided, the factory area was a complete mess.

Tosa was beyond dead.

Some of Tosa’s subordinates were blown away by the shockwave, others seemingly took the opportunity to escape.

Yanos was still hiding nearby.

The game character, guarding Zhang Juan, almost hadn’t moved at all.

This turmoil was hardly a significant impact on the two of them.

[Zhang Juan (slightly surprised): I didn’t expect him to get such a big Void Energy Battery. It seems there’s not much energy left; it’s probably bought as scrap…]

That’s right, it’s not even a real bomb, nor is it brand new.

It’s just one of the restricted items from the Upper City.

A highly compressed energy battery.

It can convert void energy into electricity for mechanical use.

Don’t let the fist-sized piece fool you; it can power large machinery for hundreds of years.

Just from this, you can see the gap between the Upper City and the Lower City in this world.

[Lin Qianxuan (looking at Zhang Juan): Sister Juan, are you alright?]

[Zhang Juan (smiling gently at you): You protected me well, I’m not hurt, thank you.]

[Zhang Juan sees your growth, feeling very gratified and extremely grateful for your protection.]

[Current String of Destiny connection with Zhang Juan is 34%.]

[Alert: You have acquired a Sound Talisman [Unyielding].]

[Unyielding: The will of not yielding accelerates your adaptability to the environment (adaptation speed increased by 50%).]

A sound talisman flies out and directly enters Zhang Juan’s green-colored name.

At the same time, a somewhat oppressive and tense music starts playing.

….

In the game screen, it suddenly switches to a modern urban hotel.

Lin Qianxuan looks at the furnishings inside, feeling a bit like Earth.

He wonders, could this be Zhang Juan’s memory on Earth?

The screen flashes, and it shows the young Zhang Juan lying on the bed, her face full of smiles, seemingly anticipating a wonderful future life.

Lin Qianxuan muses, this should be when Zhang Juan was adopted.

What exactly happened to make her become like that later?

It is night.

Zhang Juan gets up to go to the toilet; not knowing how to use the items there, she fails to turn on the light and has to walk in the dark, unintentionally ending up outside a room.

Voices of conversation come out.

[The review has become more stringent now. We spent quite a bit of effort to adopt, just channeling costs tens of thousands, and these paired goods are very rare; we won’t sell for less than a million!]

[This is the kind of business that’s dangerous; brother, can you show some sincerity?]

….

The voices behind have already gone silent.

Zhang Juan dares not listen further and also dares not stay in the room.

She hurriedly puts on her shoes and carefully comes behind the main door, opening it, then sprints out desperately.

The parents who adopted her seem to have noticed something was amiss and quickly chased after her.

The next frame shows Zhang Juan being cornered in a hotel stairway.

How can she compete physically with adults?

In a critical moment, she glimpses a glass bottle in the nearby trash can, directly grabbing it and smashing it towards the two.

This glass bottle is very special; Lin Qianxuan notices it’s inscribed with text from this game world.

Its meaning is “Awakening No.3”.

[Just be good, okay? Let’s go back with us!]

Zhang Juan shakes her head desperately, her face full of fear!

The man quickly advances, wanting to snatch the glass bottle from Zhang Juan’s hand.

Zhang Juan swings the glass bottle randomly, trying to drive him back.

But how could her small frame succeed?

She is immediately caught by the man, who then presses her down.

The woman beside rushes up and angrily slaps Zhang Juan across the face.

However, nobody notices that residual potion from the glass bottle seems to have slid onto Zhang Juan’s palm.

In the next instant, Zhang Juan disappears in front of the two.

Simultaneously, the scene switches to a remote alley.

Looking at the surroundings, this is already the Lower City District of the Otherworld.

Zhang Juan is now covered in dirt and ash, rummaging through a filthy pile of trash for food.

She finally finds a bit to eat, only to be slapped away by a passerby who seemed muddle-headed.

The guy appears to have taken spirit drugs, and his state seems very abnormal.

[Get lost, you pesky bug!]

Zhang Juan curls her frail figure, taking a few kicks before the person walks away.

In her hunger, an old man gives Zhang Juan a bite of food.

This rare warmth lasts less than a second.

In the blink of an eye, the screen shows the old man already dead; afar is the same muddle-headed person who kicked Zhang Juan earlier.

Zhang Juan stares at the scene, a trace of anger and unwillingness in her eyes.

Is this the destiny of a small figure?

She finds a palm-sized metal fragment and grinds it to a sharp blade-like edge.

That night, the drug-affected man has an extra wound on his neck while sleeping, blood pouring out.

Another screen change, Zhang Juan has returned to Earth.

She sits calmly on a hotel bed, eating food.

Boom~!

Lightning flashes, illuminating the blood-red beside the bed along with the bodies of a couple.

At the same time, a [12%] symbol flashes by.

[Alert: Zhang Juan’s information has been updated. Available for query through the String of Destiny.]
