Chapter 74: The Saint is Invincible?

When Lin Lei woke up again, he found himself in a strange room. The decoration in the room was very simple; there were not many things, but it made people feel very comfortable looking at it.

In fact, the entire room was filled with this incredibly comfortable atmosphere. There were no high-tech items placed specifically to attract attention.

Looking at these, Lin Lei thought of Yuan Shanxing’s words: “Technology is just technology; it is only used where it should be used.”

Everything in this room explained this perfectly.

Lin Lei stood up and felt the condition of his body. It was excellent. He asked the System, and the System also gave an evaluation of “Perfect Condition.”

The medical methods of the Watcher Civilization were indeed very brilliant, having reached the realm of great skill appearing clumsy.

Obviously, everything here was being monitored. Lin Lei had been awake for less a while when Xiao Boru, Li Yi, and Li Dasong all came over. The three looked at Lin Lei with concern in their eyes.

“Leizi, are you alright? When you just fainted, your face was deathly pale. Old Xiao couldn’t determine if your spirit was damaged. We were really afraid that you would wake up with a muddled brain.” Li Yi’s tone carried a feeling of relief. Only now did he truly feel the importance of Lin Lei, this good friend from high school.

Whether for humans or for them, he was so indispensable. Just talking about them, if something happened to Lin Lei, Old Xiao would be fine, but the two of them would definitely be sent back to Mote Planet.

Lin Lei struck a strong pose and laughed: “The Star Alliance’s technology is not just for show. My condition is excellent now, so don’t worry. Let me ask you, how is Yan Siyu’s situation?”

Li Yi was not clear about this situation, so only Xiao Boru could answer: “She is still sleeping, but the Dimensional fluctuations in her body have become very weak. The Curse has been successfully suppressed, but not completely eliminated. Just as I estimated before, in ten days, it will make a comeback!”

Lin Lei was just about to ask for a solution but suddenly noticed Li Dasong’s depressed expression. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Lin Lei couldn’t help asking curiously: “Dasong, do you have something to say?”

Li Dasong gave a long sigh, sat on the hospital bed holding his head, and spoke after a long while: “I feel like I’m just a burden. I can’t help with anything. I can’t do anything but watch you go on adventures and risk your life!”

“Don’t worry. As far as I know, there are many things in the Star Alliance that strengthen the body. Since Lin Lei chose to bring you out, he regards you as comrades. Naturally, he won’t leave you alone. Young man, be patient and don’t belittle yourself!”

The one who spoke to comfort him was actually Old Xiao. This veritable old child actually saw through many things clearly. It was just that there were many things he disdained and didn’t bother to haggle over.

With wisdom at level 12, he was enough to look down on the intelligent beings of the Galaxy. Even if the other party was a member of the Watcher Civilization, it was the same. How could he not discover the dirty psychology of humans back then?

“Really?” Two people spoke at the same time. Li Yi also had this trouble, but he had scattered a lot of his energy on the physics theories Old Xiao was learning, so he hadn’t thought about this problem too carefully.

“Really!” Lin Lei nodded and affirmed. He was not a god and couldn’t do everything alone, so he needed partners. Li Yi and Li Dasong were the two partners he had chosen, whose character and nature were not bad.

What Old Xiao said just now was also what Lin Lei thought. It was just that things had been happening one after another during this time, so he couldn’t quite attend to his two good friends.

The two guys who received the definite answer showed looks of relief on their faces.

At this time, Old Xiao stepped forward and asked in a solemn tone: “Lin Lei, tell us about your experience in Yan Siyu’s mental space. This is very important and relates to our deep understanding of the Curse.”

“Of course, this is also what I need to tell you.” Lin Lei narrated everything that happened in Yan Siyu’s mental space, down to the finest detail.

Old Xiao fell into deep thought as he listened. After Lin Lei finished speaking, he still maintained a motionless posture, and his eyes became blank again.

Obviously, he had entered his spiritual kingdom again. This was an incredibly precious state of concentration. Only this kind of person could truly achieve great things!

It wasn’t until half an hour later that Old Xiao came back to his senses. He habitually explained to everyone: “Old habit, hehe. I get like this whenever I think about things. I should be roughly clear about the principle of this Curse.”

“You know, the so-called Dimension, from another perspective, is actually the Rule of the Universe, close to the most basic rules. Essentially, every Dimension is the same! This can be proven from the construction of Subspace. Three arbitrary Dimensions can construct Subspace. Adding another Dimension to act as the Time Dimension, it can carry matter for a ‘Space Jump’.”

“Similarly, this Curse can also be understood this way. The Curse does not carry a single bit of energy. It is just an orderly collection of Rules, controlled by the Will of the Energy Controller. The Energy Controller should be able to sense some situations of the Curse, but cannot achieve specific perception. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have continuously cast Disintegration on Lin Lei thirty times. And the fact that he could stop at the last moment shows that the Energy Controller can still remotely control the Curse to some extent.”

Lin Lei asked anxiously: “In that case, isn’t the Curse unbreakable?!”

Old Xiao shook his head and said: “No, I firmly believe that nothing in the world is unbreakable. Regarding the Curse, as I speculate, there are two ways to remove it.”

“Which two?” This time, it wasn’t just Lin Lei who spoke; another voice came from the door. It was the Yustarian, Yuan Shanxing!

Old Xiao’s expression did not change at all. He still spoke confidently: “Judging by the situation Lin Lei brought back, if the Energy Controller wants to cast the Curse, he himself must comprehend at least three Energy Dimensions. Otherwise, he cannot carry the Will that leaves the body. The first method I speak of is to find someone who also has the ability to cast the Curse to enter Yan Siyu’s mental space to break the Curse. Because he has the ability to fight back, unlike Lin Lei who could only resist hard.”

“This method is not feasible. Those who can cast the Curse are all Saints of the Andromeda Galaxy. They call us Demons and will not be used by us.” Yuan Shanxing rejected this method without even thinking.

“Then there is only the complete elimination of the person who cast the Curse! This is the method of cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots. Once the caster dies, the Curse will fall apart on its own.” Old Xiao said decisively.

This statement made everyone silent. Lin Lei’s face was particularly heavy. Among the people present, only he had truly experienced the power of Saint Anthony. That power, which could destroy a city with one strike, was not something everyone could face calmly.

After a long while, Yuan Shanxing spoke in a difficult tone: “Master Xiao, presumably you don’t know some of the past of our Star Alliance. Our warriors, as long as they encountered the Saints of the Andromeda Galaxy, before Lin Lei, not a single one could come back alive!”

“Why? Because of the Curse?” Lin Lei asked in shock.

“Yes, this is the most important reason. According to the data sent back by the fallen warriors, the Saints’ energy attacks fuse with Dimensional Laws. Our Protective Force Field cannot withstand it at all, and it is even very difficult to dodge after being locked onto. This is somewhat like a Subspace Annihilation attack, but more advanced than that. We have instruments that can resist full-dimensional attacks, but to achieve the power output needed to defend against a Saint’s attack, the size of this instrument makes it difficult to equip on a Mecha.”

“Therefore, even if Lin Lei can forcefully suppress the Curse, facing this terrifying energy attack, it is hard to gain any advantage, even if he equips a Star Alliance Mecha!” Yuan Shanxing concluded finally.

“Even using the Mecha’s super high speed for an instant kill wouldn’t work?” Lin Lei’s former Night Demon Mecha could reach five times the speed of sound in the atmosphere. At such high speed, it was hard for him to imagine that an intelligent creature could make an effective reaction when attacked.

“They are Energy Controllers. Their minds are incredibly sharp. Regarding danger, they have a near-prophetic sense. For them, a successful sneak attack is almost impossible. Presumably, you also know the Energy Controller’s shield. The Saint’s shield is difficult for our Star Alliance’s Mecha to break through instantly. And this gives them time to counterattack.”

“A Saint only needs one strike. Even if the Mecha’s Protective Force Field Energy Level is high, it will turn into elementary particles, because the energy attacks they use mostly fuse with the Law of the First Dimension: Disintegration!”

Saints are the strategic weapons of the Andromeda Galaxy. To deal with them, relying on Mecha is hard to accomplish; one must use our battleships. But then, it would be considered an all-out war, and the time is far from mature.

Lin Lei, after a brief silence, suddenly stood up: “I must go and try. There is less than ten days left for the Curse inside Yan Siyu’s body, and inside my own body, there is also a Curse. Rather than waiting to die, I will fight to the death.”

What truly allowed Lin Lei to make this decision was the System inside his body!

This incredibly mysterious System had already made too many impossibilities possible. Although the Saint was powerful, Lin Lei believed he had the strength to fight!

Since the Star Alliance was helpless against the Saints, if he could break this precedent, the status and reputation he would gain would surely be unimaginable.
