Chapter 102: Pan-dimensional Creature?

The battle ended, and Rumba City was basically destroyed. This super city, covering over ten thousand square kilometers, was destroyed in an instant amidst chaos. There were ruins everywhere, corpses everywhere; it was a scene of doomsday.

The Star Alliance captain, wearing the Armor of Light, came to the side of the black Crystallized Mecha and saluted Lin Lei with the etiquette of the Star Alliance Guard: “Captain of the Star Alliance Twenty-fifth Squad, Baichuan, salutes you!”

His tone contained complex emotions: disbelief, admiration, and even a trace of fear.

He had witnessed this warrior’s combat power with his own eyes. To still stand tall under the mysterious attacks of so many enemies, and even counterattack, was beyond Baichuan’s imagination.

Lin Lei also returned a salute and replied indifferently: “Star Alliance warrior Lin Lei salutes you. Your support can be considered timely; at least I am still alive now.”

Baichuan looked a bit awkward. He changed the topic somewhat unnaturally: “Perhaps we should conduct a thorough search of the entire city to find the root cause of this disaster outbreak.”

“That is necessary. I suggest you patrol in groups of two. The enemy’s methods are truly hard to defend against. These Dark Remnants possess a method similar to brainwave suppression, which is very difficult to defend against. I will say no more, Captain Baichuan. I will set off first.”

Lin Lei had discovered something strange: there were too few complete forms of these Dark Remnants! In the entire Rumba City, millions of mindless killing tools appeared, yet the number of Silver Mechas was only seven hundred!

This ratio was simply too small. When Lin Lei conducted random sniping from the tallest building earlier, five complete Dark Remnants appeared among more than three hundred frenzied Dark Remnants. The ratio between the two was fifteen to one.

Then the real situation should at least be close to this ratio. Millions of frenzied ones appeared. The number of complete Dark Remnants should at least be over a hundred thousand!

But the fact was, only seven hundred appeared! So where did these complete forms go, and what did they want to do? This became very important.

Seven hundred individuals plus millions of Dark Remnant frenzied ones almost destroyed Rumba City. If there were over a hundred thousand complete forms, and they all possessed Silver Mechas, wouldn’t that be enough to overturn Apocalypse Three Star?

Lin Lei flew among various super-tall buildings, flying towards the central area on the ground where the Dark Remnant frenzied ones had appeared.

The closer he flew to the center, the more he felt a sensation of being spied on, as if in some dark corner, a pair of eyes was spying on him, observing him. But strangely, Lin Lei did not feel any malice, or perhaps, he did not regard Lin Lei’s combat power as a threat at all.

The surrounding environment began to quiet down. This was the center of the riot; all intelligent beings had been killed by the frenzied ones among the Dark Remnants, and these frenzied ones were subsequently killed by Apocalypse’s starships.

The Apocalypse’s starships had already retreated from here, leaving only bodies and blood all over the ground. Seeing all this, Lin Lei had to sigh; it seemed that even an eighth-grade stellar civilization was very fragile.

The Universe held infinite mysteries, and mighty beings were everywhere. The residual influence of a Pan-dimensional Creature actually easily destroyed a city.

Then what about an eleventh-grade civilization? Since it could contend with Pan-dimensional Creatures, how powerful was their strength? It must be far beyond the power he was displaying now.

Lin Lei finally stopped under a towering spire-shaped building. Here, the feeling of being spied on reached a limit.

There must be something, or someone, or even a Pan-dimensional Creature inside!

The last noun made Lin Lei’s heart tremble, not out of fear, but out of excitement. He didn’t know why, but at this moment, he inexplicably knew he was safe, so he resolutely walked into the spire.

This was a deep passageway with smooth walls and a winding path; he didn’t know where it would extend.

This passageway was not silent; instead, it was extremely lively. Of course, the lively ones were not ordinary people, but Dark Remnants!

None of these guys were complete forms. Every face was full of tyranny and bloodthirst. Upon seeing Lin Lei’s Dark Crystallized Mecha, they pounced on him recklessly, but were silently bounced away by the Mecha’s Protective Force Field.

Walking in such a passageway, Lin Lei actually had an illusion of walking towards the Abyss of hell.

He walked for a full several thousand meters before reaching the end, but the situation here made Lin Lei’s pupils contract, and he immediately transformed into the Twin Moon Blades, which required relatively less space to use.

At the end of the passageway was an empty hall, looking to be several thousand square meters in size. In the center of this space stood only an old man wearing white robes.

The old man had white hair, a white beard, and white eyebrows. His entire body was pale, except for his eyes, which revealed blackness. Hearing the noise, he fixed those strange, purely black eyes on Lin Lei.

In an instant, only that pair of eyes remained in Lin Lei’s field of vision. This pair of eyes rapidly expanded, and finally, Lin Lei found that the place he was standing had become the outer space filled with starlight.

That white-robed old man also appeared opposite Lin Lei at the same time. He spoke: “Your Will is indeed tough. If an ordinary intelligent being experienced this change, their reaction would be much more intense.”

“First, they would scream and shout. Then, after discovering their situation, their consciousness would automatically simulate a sensation of falling. After that, their minds would become lost in this space.”

The old man said this, and Lin Lei guessed the source of the Dark Remnants: “Then, you are the guy who created the Dark Remnants, and right now, you are transforming me!?”

“Transformation, or perhaps elevation, only applies to the weak. Since you can still think freely, analyze calmly, and converse with me, then the so-called transformation is out of the question. I am simply interested in you.” The old man’s voice revealed a sense of vicissitude, as if everything before his eyes was just passing smoke to him.

By now, even if Lin Lei were stupid, he would have guessed the old man’s general identity. Even if he was not a Pan-dimensional Creature, he had a deep relationship with such a powerful creature. The greatest possibility was that he was the residual consciousness body of the so-called Dark Saint who was killed hundreds of years ago.

“Then you have brought me to your space now, what is this for?” Lin Lei asked.

“Just curiosity. You are very special. Although you are an individual of an intelligent race, you have not encountered the limitations of individual development! There is an inexplicable potential in you that gives you the chance to become one of us. We refer to what the Galaxy’s intelligent beings call Pan-dimensional Creatures. And as for my origin, you should have already guessed the answer.”

“Dark Saint, the guy who destroyed a Tenth-grade Civilization hundreds of years ago?”

“You guessed part of it correctly, but things are far from that simple. The Dark Saint from back then was indeed killed, there is no doubt about that. Alright, little guy, your companions have already found their way here. Goodbye. I expect that one day in the future, I will meet you in a higher Dimension world. Remember, Will travels through the Universe!”

The old man had just finished speaking when everything before Lin Lei’s eyes turned back into the original hall. In the center of the hall, the white-robed old man was already gone.

All this was like an illusion; Lin Lei almost suspected that he was dreaming just now.

He didn’t know why, but although Lin Lei knew this white-robed old man was the ultimate culprit who created the Dark Remnants, he felt no disgust or hatred towards him.

On one hand, these guys who became Dark Remnants had nothing to do with Lin Lei; on the other hand, this old man exuded an indifference from his bones, as if nothing in the Universe could shake his heart, and the lives of mere intelligent beings were merely existences like ants.

Unknowingly, Lin Lei’s perception was influenced by this old man, and he actually agreed with his point of view!

Lin Lei immediately discovered this and was terrified! In that moment just now, he was almost transformed into a Dark Remnant!

This old man was truly too terrifying. This silent, almost undefendable assimilation effect gave Lin Lei a deeper understanding of Pan-dimensional Creatures.

These guys were not only powerful in strength, but also unfathomable in Will and wisdom!

At this time, Lin Lei also heard footsteps coming from behind him. Soon, Baichuan led a few warriors and ran into this hall.

“How is it, Lin Lei? Did you find anything?” After everyone’s search, it was confirmed that this was the center of the Dark Remnants.

Lin Lei instinctively concealed his encounter here. He said with a tired voice: “No, when I came, it was already like this. Except for those remaining madmen outside, there is nothing else.”

Baichuan said with some hatred: “Damn it, he ran faster than a rabbit!” His squad lost five warriors, which made him full of hatred for these Dark Remnants.

Lin Lei had no interest in managing these things. He directly teleported back to the Sky Shuttle in outer space. First, he reported his safety to Fuweili, who was anxiously waiting for him in the Sky Shuttle, then touched the cheek of little Lin Xin, who had already fallen asleep, and began to report to Elder Yun in detail everything he had experienced in Rumba City. Of course, this referred to everything that could not be concealed.

Finally, he summarized: “This time’s Dark Remnants incident has not ended, but is just a beginning. From it, I saw many anomalies, such as those missing complete Dark Remnants, those Silver Mechas with ultra-high attack power, and so on. All indicate that a mysterious force is hidden in our Galaxy.”

Elder Yun frowned tightly. After a long while, he sighed: “You are right. The Galaxy will be troubled from now on!”
