Section 44: The Inner Self

"Preface retracted." Above the wreckage of the giant ship, Zhao Yingkong, the master of personality, watched the ripples and vibrations on the surface. The ripple effect of spatial instability had taken a toll on her cognitive system, and it was clear to her that there had been some disruption in her process of mobilizing the power of the Void.

Not strong. Or rather, it's better than nothing.

After all, tens of thousands of kilometers away, even a huge tsunami only left a slight wave when it flowed to her feet.

But quantity is quantity, and quality is quality. In her eyes, the mass of energy gathering 10,000 kilometers away did not increase in the slightest, but decreased. But the threat that can be caused to her is constantly improving.

"I thought it was a playhouse, but I didn't expect it to really be a serious battle. With space as a shield, I really don't have any way to hurt him right now...... Hmm, is it really possible for him to kill me? ”

The light of the eyes was constricted, gathered, and the corners of the mouth gradually hung a dangerous arc. For crazy people, the plan of the last second can be completely overturned in the next second, and all the affectionate veins can be turned into swords in an instant.

It's a lot of fun.

But it's more fun to fight each other.

She pressed her chest gently, the remnants of Zhao Ruikong, who thought she had found a way to struggle, was now playing hide and seek with her in the labyrinth of the mind she had created—she was still able to capture and devour another her in a single thought. But she also knew very well that after a moment of hesitation, even if she devoured the deputy personality, it would not be able to play the role of Zhao Ruikong's design.

The light of the heart, after all, depends on the power of the heart. Regardless of whether the doped impurities are one percent or one ten-thousandth of the total amount or one part of a billion, as long as there is hesitation, it will be difficult to exert a specific force at a specific time - perhaps this error will not have any effect in a regular battle, but in a deathmatch, the effect is very different.

- I can't fight him to the death. It doesn't take all the effort.

- But, at least, with most of the means used in the emergence, it should be possible.

She tilted her head and looked at her feet. The remains of the giant aberrant that the main god had designated as the target of the side quest were still wriggling. And in her perception, the infusion of energy from far away was like a great river of Yangtze River into this amorphous flesh and blood that was beaten to the brink of death by her single blow.

There is a lot of energy, and there is pollution. If you use it directly, the disadvantages are greater than the benefits.

But if ...... Just a waistcoat......

She reached out and reached out to the amorphous flesh. And the next moment, the wreckage of the mission target at her disposal was reconstructed with her will as the central axis.

…………………………

- Something is wrong.

Jiang Yu opened his eyes, and the fluctuations of space converged and converged under his will.

He is able to directly dominate the area of influence at about a hundred meters, and the remaining physical phenomena are a chain reaction when the space is stirred. After a long period of time, he came up with a new force algorithm, and after he put it into use, a part of the spatial structure in the perceptual range was subordinated to him.

He was able to bind them to his body, turning them into the strongest barriers.

He is able to shape them and then unleash them, displaying intuitive physical destructive powers.

He is able to manipulate them very finely, and the new algorithm allows him to perform micromanipulation at the micron level.

He was even able to follow Zhao Yingkong's previous example, artificially create a spatial collapse, and extract some of the power from the endless vacuum zero energy to sustain himself.

It seems to have gotten stronger.

However, it didn't.

The strongest means of attack is still the spear of judgment after the liberation of power, and the new spatial fluctuation algorithm only increases the breadth of the response surface, and the upper limit has not been increased.

The feeling of a bottleneck.

Invisible spatial fluctuations appear in the palm of your hand, even if the space is extended, cut, and turned into a barrier. The only means that can be effectively resisted are contact attacks. His new algorithm is nothing more than stretching the space of one centimeter into 100 meters, and he still has to use his own basic defense to carry it when fighting against wide-area bombing with no dead ends.

But that's not what went wrong.

What's wrong is that I actually stopped here.

When developing an algorithm and placing the body in a spatial fault, I clearly felt some kind of breakthrough. Their own cells, their own genes are ready to move, and under the interference of external crises, they are vaguely about to grasp a more powerful layer.

The fourth-order gene lock should look like this.

At the end of the last game, he had already touched the boundaries of subtlety, and every time he improved his genetic lock, he did produce similar signs of breakthrough as before.

- I should break through...... No, at least in contact with the fourth-order gene lock.

- But why...... I can't?

- Am I too greedy and overconfident to be delusional? But why, in my shell...... The feeling of siltation is getting bigger and bigger?

The body seems to be a bottle, but the bottle is filled with an excess of liquid. A liter of volume is filled with perhaps three or five liters of content, and there are no openings. There was a faint feeling of swelling between the limbs, but I couldn't find even a little catharsis.

The energy is not abundant, and it is even somewhat lacking due to the development of algorithms.

His physical strength and spirit were not perfect, but he still felt like he was expanding.

I can't go up.

A feeling told him that he should already have some of the combat power of the fourth-order gene lock by now. He should even set foot in the realm of the higher order of genetic locks now. But another feeling told him that he had reached his limit, and that any further one could only increase his experience and skill, but not elevate it.

Both feelings are real.

The two feelings are so contradictory.

Feelings of fullness and exhaustion were entangled in his body at the same time. In the transmutation of strength, he clearly understood what it means to be confused and irritable. And some kind of inexplicable fear silently clenched him at this moment.

In the world of reincarnation, not everyone has an unlimited potential for growth. Many reincarnators progress by leaps and bounds at the lower levels, but once they reach a certain level, they will be unable to follow up or even struggle to advance.

Just like Nanyan Li Chard in the original text, he can suppress the third-order explosion Zheng Zha with the level of the first-order self-creation. Theoretically, a person like him can at least dominate the battlefield of the final battle after at least ten worlds. However, the fact is that he was a first-order self-created in the galaxy world, and in the end, he died at the hands of a third-order demon team miscellaneous fish who didn't even have a name - he was beaten to death in the battle of pure power, and there was no hope of turning the tables around.

This may be a lack of opportunity, but it may also be a limitation of talent. And now......

Jiang Yu remembered how fast he had grown in the previous worlds.

Obviously, at the beginning, he only thought that he was a Chinese talent, but unknowingly, he was stronger than Zheng Zha, the reincarnation of Pangu, in the field of unlocking speed. Although he didn't say it, he naturally had a vague pride in his heart, and his nameless self-confidence made him take care of everything, and even dared to carry the entire Zhongzhou team on his shoulders, as if he had determined that he was the captain he should be.

- So...... My first-mover advantage, my first pot of gold, finally nothing left?

- Or ...... This is actually just a very ordinary accumulation, and I have been smooth sailing for too long, so I see my potential so huge, arrogantly thinking that I will not encounter any levels if I break through the fourth order?

He wanted to convince himself that he was just too arrogant and had the illusion of a breakthrough.

However, the feeling of fullness in his body, which was always present and could not be suppressed at all, told him that things were different from what he thought. Every cell in his body was telling him that the time had come to break through to the fourth order. However, every cell in his body conveyed another message to him, telling him that he would not want to do anything next.

You can't do it with a stronger potion - unless it's a secret potion in the relics of the saints.

It is not possible to exchange for a stronger bloodline - unless the bloodline is above S.

Confused thoughts and instincts wrestled in his mind, even as his body gradually returned to normal. The state has reached perfection again, and the invisible feeling of fullness and swelling has not been erased.

It can't be that you have entered the demon in advance, but you don't know it.

- First ...... Regardless of this.

He forced himself to let it go and cast his gaze on something more worthy of attention. Kasumi's senses were particularly clear under the new algorithm, and he took a deep breath, erasing the negative emotions from the surface of his mind, and then moved to where the two ladies were.

"Ayu!" Kasumi cried out in surprise when she saw him, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes that only he could see, apparently aware of his current state. He nodded, maintaining his usual calm and reliable appearance, and Zhu Wen, who had newly obtained a level promotion, also waved and smiled at him.

"Looks like you've had a good harvest, Mr. Jiang Yu. There was a lot of movement just now. There was a heartfelt joy in her eyes. But I've also broken through the second-order genetic lock, and that bottle of potion is very effective. ”

"Hmm." Jiang Yu nodded and smiled appreciatively at her. "It seems that your talent is very good, but it is better to spend more time consolidating it, so as not to have a solid foundation. After all, the use of potions is different from self-opening, and it is possible that ......" was halfway said and was forcibly turned by him.

“…… There may be some instability. ”

He didn't say anything more.

He reached out and punched a tunnel from the underground base that led directly to the surface—he could have teleported people directly to it without having to expend his strength here. The moment he started it, he realized that he was different.

Later in Jurassic Park, Zhan Lan once told him that he should relax and trust his companions.

The ensuing events made him almost forget about this sentence, because the entire team was almost wiped out in the battle of Sona Island.

And now...... He felt that there might not be any need to think about this question.

"Let's go, time is pressing. Sakura should still be persistent, and we need to deal with her troubles as soon as possible. He decided to at least do what he had already done.

Kasumi turned into a spear of judgment and landed in his hand. The biological force field immediately unfolded, enveloping him and Zhu Wen, and flew into the sky together.

Zhu Wen's gaze was confused for a moment at the moment when it swept over him.

She felt that there seemed to be something strange about the captain in front of her, who had always given her a feeling of 'strong', 'reliable', and 'responsible'.
