Chapter 367: Chapter 291 Betrayer_1

Not long after Zheng Yichen left, a team arrived here. After inspecting the traces left at the scene, they immediately chased toward a direction. The pursuers had not yet realized what the situation had turned into, and they ran straight into additional attacks.

The Centaur-looking Three Glory warrior obliterated them with overwhelming speed and strength. Looking at the bodies on the ground, he felt an urge in his throat, a craving to gnaw at them.

"Huff..." Suppressing this urge, the Three Glory warrior left without looking back. Although he no longer resembled a human, once certain lines were crossed, one would completely lose their humanity.

The recent skirmish gave him a good understanding of his new powers. He could use Black Light as they did, and normal powers of brightness as well. Attacks of brightness could be blocked with the ’shield’ in his left hand, absorbed, or transformed into Black Light and refracted back.

Though his right hand could not employ the power of Black Light, it wasn’t tainted by it either. Now he was powerful; any pursuers would meet their demise, no matter their number. Free from the influence of Black Light, he was indeed a true Three Glory warrior, no, an enhanced version of a Three Glory warrior.

Arriving at another node, the Three Glory warrior eyed the Defender there without making hasty contact, maintaining a combat stance. He didn’t know what the Defender’s attitude was, whether they were a mole, or if they had any objections to his current appearance.

"...Child, how did you become like this?" The Defender at the node looked at the arriving Three Glory warrior with a puzzled expression.

"Elder, there’s a traitor among the Defenders, please be extra cautious."

Having said this, he left behind a sphere of light and immediately left the place. The Three Glory warrior thought that the node of the canopy was extremely important. If it were to collapse, the canopy would open, and all accumulated Light of Three Glory would be released, leading to catastrophic outcomes.

The sphere of light was a technique to leave behind an image, containing the records of his previous experiences. Whether the elder would believe it or not, he didn’t have time to explain further. He had to go elsewhere to deliver the message and along the way eliminate any traitors he encountered!!

Watching the sphere of light left by the Three Glory warrior, the Defender at the node had a complex look as he finished reviewing the records within it. He exhaled softly and looked towards the sky, "Internal strife and invasion, sigh."

It was impossible to have unity with a large number of people, unless there was utterly no way out. But was there really no way out now? As a seasoned powerful expert of this world, he knew a lot of information, such as encountering visitors from an alien world within anomalies, understanding that anomalies connected to other worlds.

Not many people knew about these things, and entering anomalies wasn’t easy. Even for a Three Glory powerful expert, entering an anomaly would result in instant unconsciousness.

But it’s undeniable that anomalies themselves serve as potential escape routes. Moreover, those alien world invaders; since they could invade this world, they naturally had other ways to leave. Now that the presence of a mole was confirmed, it was normal for there to be powerful experts among them of the same caliber.

It was precisely because he was a powerful expert of this caliber that he had more opportunities to encounter things beyond the reach of ordinary people, and having a better escape plan made betrayal somewhat normal. But... not everyone chooses to betray.

The elder suddenly extinguished the sphere of light without a sound, knowing that the young Three Glory warrior would continue to pass on messages, but his trust in his own people was gone. He might even be ambushed by the traitor next.

He wanted to help the young Three Glory warrior, but he could not easily leave this place now. They were already tied down by the canopy, so much so that any form of sabotage by the traitors could cause major problems with the canopy... No, given that there were traitors, major issues with the canopy were inevitable.

The elder furrowed his brow and then sighed. When the problem arose, the only thing that could be done was to guide the Light of Three Glory as best as possible, to prevent it from truly spreading across the entire world.

And then there was that young ’invader’, hopefully he really did come to save the world.

...

After clearing out a few more armies, Zheng Yichen could no longer find any place where he could sense ’large amounts’ of demonic thoughts. Armies were definitely in other places, but due to time constraints, those armies had long dispersed, those infected by Black Light spread to unknown locations, and pursuing them was a waste of time.

Thus, Zheng Yichen approached the vast anomaly directly, encountering corresponding interceptions: local armed forces, traps set by Boundary Breakers, and so on. None of these mattered in front of Zheng Yichen.

His mind, influenced by demonic thoughts, was not so merciful. Whether it was local armed forces or anything else, as long as they encountered him and tried to intercept, they would be dealt with as enemies and cut down.

He even encountered a node that maintained the canopy. However, the Defender of the node let Zheng Yichen pass without fuss and told him that he didn’t want to create conflict, only to save the world, and that a junior had already delivered the message beforehand.

Among these Defenders, there were also traitors. If there were issues with the sky canopy, he would go all out to channel the Light of Three Glory into the anomaly.

Zheng Yichen was indifferent to this. There were so many traitors, it would only be a problem if this thing could actually explode the anomaly. High intensity of attack, right? The environment inside the anomaly wasn’t the same as the outside world. The attacks that fell into the anomaly would also be affected by Environmental Adjustment. An attack capable of evaporating continents in this world might turn out to be just normal sunlight when it lands in the anomaly.

Intense energy fluctuations could indeed shorten the existence of an anomaly, but such fluctuations depended on the type of attack causing them. A barrage of artillery shells was effective, but specialty energy attacks also caused fluctuations, though these were much less compared to technological weapons.

Moreover, with an anomaly of such magnitude, even a nuclear bomb might not be effective. Of course, this anomaly was fundamentally different from normal anomalies. Whether energy fluctuations would have an effect was another matter, considering this type of anomaly had a very sturdy ’root’.

As Zheng Yichen ventured deeper, he encountered a Defender who made a move against him. Of course, his opponent did not put on the face of a betrayer but intercepted Zheng Yichen with a righteous stance. Facing such a Defender, Zheng Yichen didn’t waste words and simply launched the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills with a lift of his hand.

He nearly killed the opponent on the spot, startling the other Defenders from different areas who hastily intervened, barely saving the life of this Defender. Yet, he still died.

It was just one blocked attack. His demonic thoughts were plentiful, and it wasn’t the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills released with all his demonic thoughts. Another strike would easily be dealt.

Whether this Defender was a mole who had sided with the Boundary Breakers or not, Zheng Yichen couldn’t be bothered to confirm. The key was that the other party had attacked him, and that was why he would not stop. The local warriors were actively passing on important intelligence, yet this man still made a move—either he was out of his mind or there was something wrong with him.

Whichever it was, he had to be dealt with to prevent future complications.

With a Defender dead, holes began to appear in the sky canopy. A streak of light emerged from the darkness of night; this streak of light, like a sharp blade, appeared in the sky and slowly expanded.

Zheng Yichen continued to advance. Even upon noticing other Defenders ahead, it did not affect his path. He was determined to proceed in a straight line; if they did not move against him, he would pass by directly, but if they did, it indicated a problem, and he would annihilate them completely.

The breach in the sky canopy had nothing to do with him. If the locals wanted to attack, they’d better do it quickly.

"..." A Three Glory warrior who was busy relaying messages took a breath, continuous running had left him exhausted. Although his body had recovered, the energy he had expended had not. He found many supplies in the plundered barracks to replenish his consumption.

But to his consternation, it hadn’t been long before there was trouble in the sky, making him question life itself. Had he passed on too many messages, sparking an early move by the traitors within? Or had a traitor among the Defenders made a move against that ’alien world person’, and was then taken out?

Discarding the water bottle in his hand, he hastened to another node. After leaving the message, he hesitated for a moment, intending to ask an additional question. But that moment of hesitation led to an attack on him.

A beam of light engulfed him; black light emerged within this beam, and the Three Glory warrior struggled to fend off this attack. The shield on his left arm absorbed some of the light and reflected it back as Black Light, but the attack was too powerful. Only after a significant toll was taken was he able to completely deflect the beam.

The injured Three Glory warrior quickly retreated a distance, "Traitor!"

In terms of age and strength, the opponent was his senior, but now that he had made his move, he was a damned traitor!

"A world doomed to end, persisting is utterly meaningless," the veteran Three Glory said without a change in his expression. After the first Defender was killed by Zheng Yichen under pressure, there was no point in their hiding anymore. The resistance of that Defender had drawn the attention of all the nodes.

They were all watching that situation, gaining a new understanding of Zheng Yichen’s strength. None of them could defeat Zheng Yichen in a one-on-one fight. Join forces against Zheng Yichen? There was no chance for that now.

Moreover, there was an anomaly yet sane local powerful expert spreading important intelligence everywhere, so it was unnecessary for them, the traitors, to continue hiding. Eliminate this anomalous Three Glory warrior, then take care of Zheng Yichen, that would suffice.

As for leaving this node, it was not yet possible; departing would only accelerate the collapse of the sky canopy, which would affect them too.

The traitor, looking at the Black Light shield emerging on the left arm of the Three Glory warrior, said, "You’re quite special. Why not work for me?"
