Egert pondered for a long time, his impatience growing.
Beside him, Luo Yongtian was equally restless.
Shanhai had vanished for unknown reasons, and neither of them could detect if he was alive. The situation was more dire than they had imagined.
"Could it be? Derwent!" Egert's gaze finally settled on the spot where Derwent and Ai Wen stood in the image.
If anyone could cause such a situation, it would have to be one of the most powerful combatants present.
That was the dwarf, An, and Derwent...
...
Time rewound three minutes earlier.
Guanghui's divine light magic illuminated the entire universe, even causing Lin Feng's eyes to feel a slight discomfort.
The brilliance also caused a brief visual disorientation, though it lasted only an instant.
The entire super-solid universe turned blindingly white, and Lin Feng could see nothing.
However, he remained calm, knowing it was an attack from an ally and would end soon.
The weaker dark creatures began to disintegrate under this light.
Lin Feng was extremely satisfied with Guanghui's displayed abilities.
Yet, this inability to see the situation made Lin Feng somewhat displeased.
He immediately extended his senses, pinpointing everyone's location.
Everyone remained in place, seemingly dazed by this massive flashbang.
Hm? Something's wrong! Where are two people missing?
The next second, Lin Feng spun around abruptly.
Two life forms had appeared less than a hundred meters in front of him!
Lin Feng instantly identified them as Derwent and Ai Wen.
These two brothers had quietly crept behind him while Guanghui cast his magic?
A cold smile played on Lin Feng's lips as he understood the brothers' intentions.
They planned to sneak attack him in the chaos?
They were underestimating him too much, truly believing he was as useless as he had acted before?
Lin Feng found the brothers' plan amusing and reversed his grip on his greatsword, preparing to deliver a decisive blow that would teach them the harsh realities of the world!
However, in the next moment, the brothers did not charge forward with weapons as he expected.
They seemed to have stopped about a hundred meters away, and then a fragment was thrown towards him.
The fragment flew rapidly towards Lin Feng.
This move? Lin Feng was bewildered, utterly confused.
Sensing the object being thrown, which carried no trace of threat, Lin Feng instinctively sheathed his greatsword and reached out to catch it.
"A triangular fragment?" Opening his palm and seeing what it was, Lin Feng tilted his head in confusion.
It was a white triangular fragment, seemingly unremarkable. What did it mean?
*Ding~*
Suddenly, a crisp sound emanated from the triangular fragment, as if unlocking some function!
"Holy cow, this is bad!"
The next second, Lin Feng understood what this thing was!
Within a second of being in Lin Feng's hand, the triangular fragment rapidly formed a massive energy field.
Concealed by the light filling the super-solid universe, it unleashed another wave of unimaginably powerful energy disintegration.
The vortex-like disintegrating energy, in an extreme amount of time, began to dismantle Lin Feng's biological field!
His pupils instantly contracted, his scalp tightened, and a sense of mortal danger washed over him.
Without hesitation, he mimicked the motion of throwing the fragment with one hand and prepared to teleport away with the other.
Good heavens, these brothers weren't as foolish as he thought, sending such a huge gift without a sound?
This angered Lin Feng. He decided that after dodging this attack, he would stop playing along and quickly take care of these two brothers.
But, an energy from within Lin Feng's body rigidly restrained him for a full second, preventing his escape.
"What is this..."
Lin Feng's face contorted. He had no time to ponder the origin of this energy.
He had only one thought, accompanied by an expression of disbelief.
It's over, it's over. I was careless.
What the hell is this thing...
Within that single second, the energy field constructed by the triangular fragment completely disintegrated.
Countless dimensional rifts appeared within the disintegrating energy field, devouring everything within.
In that one second, Lin Feng lost his ability to act and, along with the disintegrating energy that was about to unleash an explosion of unimaginable power, was swallowed by the dimensional rifts...
When Guanghui's light disappeared from the super-solid universe, Lin Feng's figure, his aura, and even his existence vanished with it...
The scene descended into a bizarre, stunned silence.
Ai Wen patted his chest, looking with lingering fear at the spot where Lin Feng had disappeared.
"What exactly did Brother Joseph give us? It's so powerful?"
"Just looking at it, I felt like I was going to die..."
At the moment the light erupted, Derwent had pulled Ai Wen and rushed towards Lin Feng.
The light had obscured everyone's vision, including Lin Feng's.
Derwent felt this was a perfect opportunity and decisively chose to deploy the item.
The outcome proved Derwent's choice was correct.
After he and Ai Wen activated the triangular fragment, it had directly caused Lin Feng to vanish into thin air!
Derwent did not respond to Ai Wen, but instead scanned the surroundings with a furrowed brow.
"Strange, Shanhai should be dead by now. Why hasn't the victory been announced yet?"
Derwent noticed the anomaly.
However, he did not believe Shanhai could have survived such an attack.
As Ai Wen had said, that field where all energy began to disintegrate, though it didn't cause a violent explosion, possessed an unimaginably terrifying destructive power.
This was because the explosion generated by this thing was no longer permitted to occur in normal space.
According to Joseph, the collapsing energy would take Shanhai with it to the ultra-dimensional space.
There, it would be Shanhai's tomb.
He would undergo an irreversible disintegration and destruction with all energy and all matter.
Even if Shanhai's power reached the peak of the omnipotent universe, he would have no chance of survival if hit by this move.
And since Shanhai had directly taken the brunt of this attack, Derwent absolutely did not believe he could still be alive to appear before them. He was just puzzled why the terminal hadn't declared the victor yet.
At this moment, the others, having found no trace of Lin Feng, turned their gazes towards the Derwent brothers.
The dwarf flashed and appeared behind them.
"Did the plan succeed?" The dwarf's eyes gleamed, clearly aware of some of Derwent's plan.
Derwent nodded hesitantly.
"It succeeded. Shanhai should be dead by now..."
His voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly in everyone's ears.
Li Xieqian and the others were completely stunned.
What... what just happened?
A flash of white light, and Shanhai was gone?
They simply couldn't accept it!
