At this time, the red light flashing in the sky became increasingly frequent, signifying that the Disaster was about to fully descend.
From the first signs of the Disaster to its full arrival took less than half a minute.
It seemed as if Chen Mo and Rangu were locked in an intense chase, but in reality, their pursuit lasted only about 20 seconds. It was all instantaneous pursuit and escape, over in the time it took to exchange a few words.
As Chen Mo caught up to Rangu, thwarting his plan to destroy the divine artifact component, the Disaster had already descended.
Chen Mo naturally had no time to waste bickering with Rangu. Once the Disaster descended, it would be a catastrophe for all of Earth. He needed to hurry back to protect those who needed his protection.
With Chen Mo in this mindset, Rangu, the major BOSS from the Yongming Star System lurking on Earth, died as inconspicuously as an insignificant underling. Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
For Rangu, this was an incredibly frustrating way to die.
He had envisioned various ways he might die after his cover was blown on Earth, but he had never imagined such a frustrating demise.
However, before his death, he managed to transmit the information about the divine artifact component and Chen Mo.
He had heard the name "Chen Mo" when the short-haired woman, a fifth-transition expert, shouted it into the air.
At that moment, he had a premonition.
He suspected the other party had noticed something he couldn’t see.
Based on the information he quickly pieced together, he connected Chen Mo with the individual possessing the divine artifact component.
Unfortunately, evidence was lacking, data was insufficient, and his time was up. He could only transmit this ambiguous information back.
At least it would give the higher-ups in the Yongming Star System something to work with for countermeasures.
His dedication, even in death, stemmed from the fact that his family still lived in the Yongming Star System. Even if he couldn’t survive, he hoped his family could.
As long as the Yongming Star System could absorb the Solar System’s territory within the Tower of Eternity, the Yongming Star System could become twice as powerful.
A stronger home star system would naturally offer better security for his family’s future.
After all, he had sacrificed himself here as someone who had rendered great service; the higher-ups would surely have to look after his family to some extent.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be disheartening? Who would be willing to lay down their lives in the future?
After Rangu died, Chen Mo immediately destroyed his corpse, then picked up his backpack and rummaged through it.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have killed another holder of a divine artifact component. You have obtained their bound divine artifact component, "Invincible Lotus."]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You now possess four divine artifact components. When you possess five divine artifact components, you will be able to view additional information about other divine artifact component owners.]
Invincible Lotus? Could it be the invincibility ability he used earlier?
Chen Mo immediately checked the attributes of the Invincible Lotus.
[Invincible Lotus · Mythical-grade]
[Item Passive Effect]: When carried, all invincibility effects activated by the owner gain a 3-second duration increase. (Effective even while in the backpack.)
[Item Active Effect]: Upon activation, grants self invincibility for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute (cooldown is not affected by any reduction effects). (Can be activated while in the backpack.)
[Important Note]: This item is a crucial component of a certain divine artifact. Please handle it with care!
[Item Introduction]: Rumored to be a treasure created by a powerful entity as a core component for a divine artifact, it was lost in the mortal realm during the upheaval of the Great Dao. If you happen to find it, please store it carefully. Perhaps one day you can find that divine artifact and regain its world-shaking Divine Power!
Outrageous! Six seconds of invincibility! No wonder Rangu’s invincibility lasted so long earlier. It was the original 3-second effect plus the passive’s 3-second boost!
Abilities like invincibility and resurrection are similarly heavily restricted by the Heavenly Dao. Even those of SSS-level quality face significant limitations.
Resurrection-type abilities generally have very long cooldowns.
Invincibility, on the other hand, typically has a very short duration.
This treasure, with its active and passive effects combined, could provide 6 seconds of manually activated invincibility. Moreover, its passive unconditionally extended any of the owner’s other invincibility abilities by 3 seconds.
This was truly quite overpowered.
If one possessed enough invincibility abilities, they could chain them for continuous invulnerability, potentially even lasting long enough to cycle back to this item’s active effect. The results would be astounding.
