Antoine attempted to stop him, swinging a hand towards Wen Xishu, but Wen Xishu's figure flickered, moving so fast that both Antoine and Nikola couldn't react.
The seemingly ordinary yet remarkably resilient soccer ball also seemed eager to break through its limits, ready to perform a true shot on goal.
By itself, it bounced up to the perfect height and angle, hovering in mid-air.
Renault immediately locked onto the target again:
"Distance, one thousand five hundred meters!"
It didn't matter, even though his body was retreating, Wen Xishu could already feel it. Accompanying the consumption of Tower Power Value, his extreme kick had already broken through the limit.
Among many choices, Wen Xishu could only opt for the extreme kick to unleash the Profound Meaning, even though the current situation was extremely dangerous...
But strangely, he couldn't find that extreme emotion to brew the Profound Meaning of the Spiritual Bullet Screen.
So this time, Wen Xishu chose the extreme kick that requires gathering strength.
When the terrifying foot force acted on the killer soccer ball, both Horn and Hugo felt a massive air current, violently rushing from a point fifteen hundred meters away.
But before this air current—
There was a light.
A scarlet light, like an unparalleled swordsman drawing a scarlet sword, slashing at the heavens and earth.
But it wasn't a sword light; it was the trajectory the killer soccer ball drew under immense power, a straight path. Antoine's body, along with Nikola, who tried to detach from Antoine to escape fusion, was completely shattered by this red light.
The super warrior, strong enough to rank in the top five on the Ark by physical strength alone, at this moment, his pierced body couldn't even slow the soccer ball's trajectory!
Renault had no time to mourn for Antoine, because the scarlet was already upon him!
That scarlet light, crossing a distance of one thousand five hundred meters, directly pierced through Renault's head. The terrifying gust of wind stirred Horn's long hair.
"Horn! Are you okay!"
Wen Xishu's voice came from afar, and his figure was rapidly approaching. Even though his speed was frighteningly fast, he still worried that he was too slow.
Wen Xishu didn't expect... that he would care so much about an "npc." It's truly a strange feeling.
It's as if Horn was another version of himself, only this version didn't have the luck of receiving Wen Chaohua's gift from the start.
Precisely because of this, Wen Xishu also hoped Horn could survive. He felt that, given time, someone like Horn, once grasping some ability, could inevitably become a legendary figure.
Due to his throat being damaged from immense grip and his legs immobilized, Horn couldn't respond. He could only lie on the ground, raising his hand to indicate he was still alive.
Horn had already prepared himself to die, even thinking... perhaps he and Hugo would become part of the setup for momentum.
But he didn't expect Wen Xishu to possess such miraculous power.
Hugo, moved to tears, jogged towards Horn, helping him up. He, too, raised his hand, waving it continuously.
Hugo could feel... maybe he and Mr. Horn would die today. Facing these terrifying Ability Users, ordinary people like them were essentially meaningless sacrifices.
Yes, they were also part of the setup for momentum. Perhaps the only role ordinary people have under the superpower system is to elicit emotional fluctuations in those Ability Users to break the situation.
Maybe the limit of what ordinary people can achieve is, like Mr. Horn, to calmly hold back the enemy... and then die.
But today, he truly felt a miracle! He survived! Both he and Mr. Horn survived.
Even though more and more Law Enforcers were arriving, at this moment, Hugo cried out:
"A miracle has descended, Mr. Horn!"
Horn touched his neck, unable to speak, but showing a relieved smile.
Yes, a miracle had descended. Sorry, old comrades, I can't immediately join you. I still have to carry your will forward.
Perhaps... with Wen Xishu here, I can really manage to change the Ark.
...
...
Wen Xishu arrived after the ultra-extreme kick, after releasing the fate-piercing strike, the recession of that power was swift, yet it didn't immediately dissipate entirely.
With residual strength, Wen Xishu swept through like a storm, repelling all surrounding Law Enforcers.
Soon, Horn used the controller to re-establish a link with Wen Xishu.
The two said little, and through Horn's sharp maneuvering, it was clear he was out of danger.
Under Horn's guidance, Wen Xishu continued forward, and after defeating the three top Ark experts, the trio finally reached the most critical spot—the projection platform.
Hugo took out the painting, then only needed to place the painting with complex patterns of a blue sun on the projection platform.
The process went smoothly. Despite the continuous approach of Law Enforcers, with the cooperation of Horn and Wen Xishu, Hugo encountered no interference.
When Hugo pressed that button—
Countless beams of light suddenly converged over the city.
A massive, blue sun appeared over the meticulously organized city, becoming its most discordant sight.
Soon, the blue sun reflected in the pupils of all who gazed upon it.
The city suddenly——came to a standstill.
Like the calm before a storm.
...
...
Within the depths of the Ark.
In the endless darkness, a man with a blank stare had been sitting idly for a long time.
His consciousness trapped in a complex maze.
But suddenly, as if seeing the maze's intricate pattern from a blue sun, he seemed to understand the vast maze's structure.
His mouth twitched slightly. Having not made any facial movements for a long time, this action made him feel a bit stiff.
Yet soon, his mouth's twitching amplitude increased.
He even began trying to speak.
"Yin Junchi... I can't believe you did it. I can't believe... you really did it! You really did it!"
"Pisces! You can't trap me!"
Talking to himself, he began to cry, then laugh loudly, and finally bawl, though this entire scene was only rehearsed in his spiritual world.
In reality, he simply twitched his mouth in the darkness.
Beneath the scarlet deep sea, a giant Evil Sea Beast also seemed to sense something, frantically surging towards the surface.
But soon, as if receiving an order, the beast chose to hibernate once more.
