Chapter 1000: Chapter 727: If It’s Alive, Then Hug and Gnaw on It
The source of the false information is an Evil cult named "Dusk," which has consistently spread apocalyptic prophecies. This cult is of moderate scale but remarkably resilient, springing back up even after being purged.
This "Evil cult" called Dusk once claimed to target Boundary Breakers, saying that those harbingers of World Destruction are hiding everywhere, the more critical the place, the more frequent their traces.
However, when it comes to such ranting, the response of the countries is... damn it, isn’t it true that no country has refrained from installing their own people in other nations or key international areas??
If every investigation were to be fully cooperated with, it would be a face-losing situation for everyone involved, and the truth would be blatantly exposed; and besides, how could nations possibly listen to the cult, which has been branded as an Evil cult, and investigate based on that?
Therefore, the Evil cult, which rarely had many Illusory Eyes, has never really caused much of a stir.
Only that the "risk warning" preached by this "Evil Cult" named Dusk...came true?
According to the analysis of other technicians, the White Tiger’s current energy index has not yet reached its limit. Once it does, destroying this city would take but a moment.
Nothing in this World can stop that creature. To confront it, one must employ a mountain of human lives, and even the death of countless individuals might not be sufficient to deal with the White Tiger.
After all, some Strengths have not truly fused together yet. Before that happens, 1+1 simply equals 2, not more than that.
The White Tiger is continuously active and can wreak havoc anywhere. It can wipe out hundreds of thousands of people with a single swipe, and even hundreds of thousands of people using Illusory Eyes to resist its attack would not hold out.
Even if the combined spiritual power of everyone surpasses that single strike of the White Tiger, such power is not cohesive enough.
What was predicted by "Dusk" came true; the moles, once exposed, were hastily rooted out, which is understandable given time constraints. Yet, if even half of that network of relationships is truly connected to the moles, that constitutes a significant problem.
It’s enough to create instability in various countries. Considering also the subsequent obstruction of support, damn, those people really do intend to destroy the World, don’t they?
At this time, causing obstruction and dragging one’s feet will lead to accountability afterward, but if the World truly ends, then there will no longer be any question of accountability.
There’s no room for regret. All we can do now is evacuate the common people while also taking the opportunity to deal with those individuals in advance!
Even if we can’t succeed fully, addressing even part of the problem is still progress.
"This city is much better off than the City of Evil Spirits," Zheng Yichen remarked as he faced the approaching White Tiger, which had fused with the Boundary Breaker that he had casually dispatched.
At first, the adversary maintained some level of rationality, but it seemed unable to withstand the White Tiger’s immense Strength, gradually losing its rationality and being driven by its wild nature. Nonetheless, influenced by the Boundary Breaker’s soul, the White Tiger displayed a high level of intelligence.
It persistently targeted Zheng Yichen, giving him no chance to kite, and the moment Zheng Yichen moved slightly beyond its attack range, the White Tiger would immediately turn to destroy the city.
Fortunately, due to the widespread use of Illusory Eyes in this city, the evacuation was carried out at the fastest speed.
The development of Illusory Eyes has no significant correlation with Boundary Breakers; otherwise, whenever Boundary Breakers caused trouble, they might interfere with the operation of Illusory Eyes, bringing great misfortune to the majority in this city.
But this White Tiger... though tough, must be dealt with, as it represents a vital target to be addressed.
Proxy Agents are precisely tasked with this kind of situation. During the communication with Du Gang, the Little Golden Man also mentioned this matter, as previously Du Gang believed Alien Phenomenon creatures to be the most troublesome.
These creatures often generate phenomena that vary immensely depending on the environment, but it was later found that they are actually easier to handle in some respects.
Their main role is as an anchor, and once the anchor is destroyed, there are no lingering issues.
What’s problematic are the other Boundary Breaking cores created by Boundary Breakers. Upon realizing that they cannot achieve Breakworld normally, they resort to a scorched earth approach, transforming the cores into something else.
And those transformed entities tend to be very challenging, boasting formidable foundations even without any particular powers, overpowering Proxy Agents with their sheer Attributes.
Of course, if one has the capability to take risks, it is possible to compress one’s own timeline, striking at the critical moment of Breakworld, creating a glimmer of hope for the Boundary Breakers and leading them to believe there’s still a chance to succeed without changing the Boundary Breaking core.
However, such maneuvers are risky, best reserved for when there’s an opportunity to back out, and as a Proxy Agent, if you’re too well-known in the Great World, you can forget about employing this tactic.
The Boundary Breakers aren’t fools; after years of cunning struggles, Proxy Agents and Dusk mercenary forces are familiar with their tactics, just as the Boundary Breakers are aware of some of the mercenaries’ strategies.
Zheng Yichen has a personal preference for those odd and unusual entities they employ. Oddity doesn’t necessarily equate to strength... but this White Tiger is something with exceptionally high foundational Attributes.
Even without a true restoration of an existence like the White Tiger, being targeted by it puts considerable pressure on him.
After his Divine Domain was broken, the Boundary Breakers on the White Tiger had already chosen to flee; some took their boxes and retreated, while others hid away to play scrub players.
Zheng Yichen obtained quite a bit from those boxes. Lilith has analyzed them; they contain highly refined Illusory Eye materials, the core aspect without which it’s impossible to craft an Illusory Eye.
The degree of refinement of such materials is extremely high; according to Lilith’s analysis, roughly one kilogram of the related materials is required to refine one gram, and the core material for the Illusory Eye is more expensive than the same weight in gold.
The refinement has reached a degree comparable to the gold and Fine Gold in the world of magic.
However, the technique for making the eyes is not yet comprehensive; right now, it’s difficult for Lilith to independently craft the relevant Illusory Eyes.
Using the Illusory Eye, Zheng Yichen somewhat feels it lacks sufficient output. His spiritual power is immensely strong, and while the Illusory Eyes he uses are from the more durable Demon Spirit type, the material itself places a ceiling on their potential.
Even though this ceiling is very high, according to Zheng Yichen’s estimate, if someone’s spiritual power is strong enough, they could even mental power to manifest a Demon Piercing Light Killing Cannon, directly blasting through Ring City, and with precise control, it could carve circles over the city like a ship-slicing sword.
But such an attack is not very effective against the White Tiger.
The pale golden shockwaves blasted past Zheng Yichen, flapping his cloak, and scraped cuts across his body, which rapidly disappeared as the wounds healed once again.
The White Tiger’s attacks were getting stronger and stronger.
"Boss, actually, your mission is already complete. There’s no need to continue fighting this thing."
"...Yeah," Zheng Yichen muttered. Du Gang had also mentioned this; the initial state of the Boundary Breaking core is essential, once used elsewhere, it becomes difficult to engage in normal Boundary Breaking.
As for what impact the transformed state of the Boundary Breaking core has on the native world... that’s for the people of the native world to worry about, after all, the Proxy Agent’s mission is basically accomplished.
Of course, this isn’t absolute. Sometimes the transformation of the Boundary Breaking core doesn’t affect the Boundary Breaking effect, or rather, that kind of transformation is itself part of the Boundary Breaking core.
Zheng Yichen has encountered one before, but he arrived early while it was not yet fully formed and was in a hatching embryonic state, which he then dealt with.
That type of Boundary Breaking core belonged to the fixed-form, hard-to-alter creature type; there are also some Boundary Breaking cores that cannot change form, like the Demon Flower he encountered before.
The White Tiger in front of him is not a creature-type Boundary Breaking core, nor is it a plant-type like the Demon Flower. It can be used for other purposes, but once it’s used like that, the Boundary Breaking core is essentially wasted.
A ten-day countdown, and he had arrived here in just one day. No matter how much the Boundary Breaking core struggles, it can now only cause destruction in this world; forget about breaking boundaries.
Indeed, many actions of the Dusk mercenaries aim primarily at this, to destroy the Boundary Breaking core if possible, or to force the Boundary Breakers into a corner, making them use the Boundary Breaking core elsewhere.
The result of not using it is either the Boundary Breaking core is destroyed, or all the Boundary Breakers are killed, unable to operate the Boundary Breaking core, and then the Dusk mercenaries can deal with it freely.
They can even choose to study it before disassembling and destroying it to obtain a bunch of good things.
Du Gang suggested that if capable, it’s best to take care of this thing; as a Boundary Breaking core, if it can be dealt with, there’s an opportunity to reap some extra spoils of war.
Whether it counts as a loss or not depends on the individual.
"Speaking of which, how about I lure this thing towards Dusk?" Zheng Yichen had this bold idea; it’s just over four thousand kilometers, leading this White Tiger near the Dusk area... it’s feasible.
But the area where the Dusk Cathedral is also a city, and people there need to be evacuated in advance.
"Contact the commander here for me."
Dodging the White Tiger’s roaring attack, Zheng Yichen reached out to grab Tanshia Firlo, who had reverted to her normal form. The small white dragon is under significant stress; she’s not as fast as Zheng Yichen.
The White Tiger’s attack had caused her great trouble; the protective sphere could guard her well, but the White Tiger’s attacks were very sharp, and coupled with its high energy intensity, when the protective sphere was active, a portion of the attacks still penetrated through.
Tanshia Firlo, in human form, was somewhat ragged, with scratches akin to abrasions on her body. These marks were not healing immediately, indicating that the damage she had suffered was of a deeper kind.
Zheng Yichen has had such experiences. After being struck by Heavenly Punishment, regenerative abilities were hardly useful.
This White Tiger is manifested using spiritual power, and it still retains some of the White Tiger’s characteristics, which is a shame because it’s not a living being, nor does it count as a typical soul, rendering his extraordinary abilities ineffective.
Otherwise, he would definitely love holding onto this thing and gnawing it... Zheng Yichen is a fan of such formidable adversarial creatures.
