Around noon.

The weather is clear, and the sun shines on the frozen lakes, forests, and pretty little houses on both sides of Route 201.

An old Citroen sped through the middle, kicking up dust and spilling deep songs along the way—

"Heaven can be found not only by death

At least not for me

When the wind blows where you want to go, you can leave by boat."

In the driver's seat, Sean hummed a song, his fingers gently tapping the steering wheel in accordance with the rhythm.

Dean hovered in zero gravity in the back row, his eyes flashing with memories.

Just a few hours earlier, he had managed to close the door to the Misty World, and without the source replenishment, the fog that had shrouded several towns in the Long Lake basin quickly disappeared with the breeze.

The children of the mist melted into piles of disgusting liquid like asphalt, and the catastrophe that lasted for half a night officially came to an end.

Countless townspeople were killed and wounded.

In order to avoid any more trouble, Dean immediately called Sean and found a car to set off on the journey.

He looked at the system—

Event "Blood on the Lake":

You completed the trade with Carmody and got the Celent Rune.

You have found the true culprit of Martha, the Child of the Mist: Ghost.

At the behest of the lake monster Light Blue, you help it complete its transformation and stay with Marsa forever.

You have killed a Queen of Mistweaver, and the progress of the event has greatly increased.

You saved David and Lucia's family, ending the connection between the two worlds, and progressing better.

15% completion and rewards can be withdrawn at any time.

Extract.

Personal experience +200, personal level lv7 (620→820/1100),

You can choose from two special rewards – :

A. Physical transformation: Embrace the special power given by the mist, take the initiative to make the body undergo some distortion, grow tentacles, horns, scorpion tail needles, sharp claws, and add special abilities such as stingers, corrosive cobwebs, and form transformation, which randomly increase a certain attribute by 30%.

Note: This form requires regular access to the Mist to replenish energy.

B. Specialty - Mist Weaver Behemoth, directed into a legendary Child of Mist, with a 30% increase in all attributes, and legendary abilities such as Parasitic Minions, Mist Breath, Mist Tentacles, etc.

Note: By selecting this specialty, your appearance will be drastically and irreversibly altered, and it will live in symbiosis with the Mist.

C. Superpower - Water-based Lv0: Produces a strong affinity for water flows, controls water molecules in rivers, seas, and even living organisms, and can even dissociate itself into water molecules to dissolve in rivers at high levels, move and dodge various attacks. (from the Lake Monster)

Boost this ability to slightly increase your will and mental attributes.

D. Super power - Laser eye lv0, the eyes produce directional evolution, converting the energy in your body into laser shooting, generating powerful attacks with high temperature, high pressure and high speed.

Increases this ability by increasing your Perception stat by a moderate amount.

E. Super Power - Petrification Lv0: When this ability is activated, the body will be transformed into a statue of a special material, which will greatly increase the impact on the mind, physics, ice, fire, acid... Resistance to all types of attacks, but this status remains for at least 120 hours.

Near-death triggers automatically.

Increases ability, moderately increases physical attributes.

F. Two free attribute points.

G.1 divinity (the divinity of the Scorpiontail Fly Clan's long-term service to the Mist Weaver Queen.) ）

……

"It's finally here."

Dean saw the divine point in the reward list, and immediately his eyes lit up, and he locked on to option G first.

Excluding A and B, he doesn't like to create weaknesses for himself, and it is not advisable to live in symbiosis with the fog.

Excluding E, Dean himself has a number of life-saving abilities, and he can't afford to have another inflexible ability like a target.

Excluding D, the initial level of laser attack is not very powerful for Dean, and he is still a big energy consumer, so it is really unnecessary.

It is worth mentioning that there is another upgraded version of the laser eye ability in Dean's memory, which does not consume his own energy, but has a special spatial channel in his eye, connecting to a different dimension full of laser energy.

Through the space channel, the laser energy in the different dimensional space can be infinitely gushed out in the form of a light beam, giving great kinetic energy, thus forming impact and destructive force.

"It's a pity it's just a weakened version."

Next, choose between C and F water-based superpowers, as well as two free attribute points.

The former made Dean extremely excited.

Transformed into water, the ocean, which occupies 70% of the earth's surface, will become his home.

According to the skill description, the low level will inevitably not reach the level of hydration, and can only improve some water control skills, and with telekinesis, it can also control water.

"I don't lack superpowers, what I lack is superpower levels."

In addition, he has a hunch that if he misses these heartbeats now, he will have a remedial method to choose again in the future.

"I choose G, F."

Gain 2 free attribute points.

Gain 1 Divinity Point.

Breathe...

Dean swept his gaze in the panel, and selected the lowest attribute, and the attribute still needs to be improved, so he no longer has to worry about the problem of attribute digestion.

Sensitivity: 23.1→24.1.

He leaned heavily into the back of the couch, the skin under his t-shirt tense and contracted, and the fine muscles swept like a swarm of earthworms.

His mind swept over the ten superpowers, and this incident made him feel more and more the full adaptability of his technical abilities.

So without hesitation, the number 1 after the divinity point disappeared like a dry trail of water.

Skill Lv. 1 (8/200) → Skill Lv. 2 (4/300)

Skill slots 10/10→10/11

All of your stats are boosted.

Physique: 27.8→28.3

Power: 25.8→26.3

Sensitivity: 24.1→24.6

Perception: 23.8→24.3

Spiritual: 27.8→28.3

Will: 26→26.5

……

Continuously strengthened 4 stats.

Dean felt for a moment the lightness of the fluttering fairy and the mixed sensation of the mountains squeezing his chest.

Countless images pass through my mind.

His cheeks were as red as blood, the black hair on the top of his head spewed out a burst of white water vapor, and his limbs, chest and abdomen swelled and contracted, like a group of small mice crawling underneath, and streams of uncontrolled powerful energy swam through his body.

"Kenny, what's wrong, what's wrong?"

Sean in the driver's seat swept the rearview mirror, immediately stepped on the brakes, and turned his head nervously to look.

"No problem, I'm exercising, keep driving." Dean opened his eyes and smiled at him sweaty.

"So strong and still hurrying to exercise?" Sean had a look of shame on his face, and he secretly decided to increase the amount of combat training every night.

……

It was a full five minutes before Dean recovered from the tidal wave of anomalies and felt the power flowing through his body.

A gut feeling arises in the mind.

The Platinum avatar of the Destruction Form has been raised from approximately 25 meters to 30 meters tall.

This time, the melee attribute has increased by 2.5, the strength has increased by 0.5, the explosive power of life energy has increased from 135 tons to 160 tons, the strength of the body has also increased from 70 tons to 75 tons, and the mental power has increased from 100 tons to 105 tons.

The Destruction Form Ultimate Burst out, hitting a force of 640 + 75 + 105 = 820 tons.

……

In addition, after his skill was upgraded to lv2, Dean seemed to be roaming in the void and thousands of different worlds without stopping for decades.

In the body, a large amount of experience has been bred out of thin air, and the experience of using skills to tear apart space nodes for teleportation, defense, and attack has been born.

He turned on his skills and looked around.

Behind the countless spatial nodes in the car compartment emerge a vivid miniature picture, cast behind the void, mountains, sea, cosmic starry sky, or meadow.

He turned his head to the middle of the snow on the side of the road, and stretched out his right fist towards a maple tree with gray-brown bare branches.

The power of skill turned into invisible fluctuations and burst out.

A circular black slit with a radius of five meters bloomed above the white snow, the edge of the slit outlined like the sharpest laser cutting knife, but it did not reflect at all, wrapping the thickest section of the trunk in the middle of the maple tree.

The trunk of the tree, along with the snow and ice edges on the tree, was swallowed by the void in an instant, and a large section of it was missing out of thin air.

Crunch –

The remaining half of the maple tree above suddenly fell into the snow, causing snow to fly all over the sky.

Dean Keizhang's five fingers closed, pointing at the node of the pitch-black void and closing again in the blink of an eye.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Previously, it took about one-twentieth of the power to open a weak spatial node.

After this upgrade, the cost was reduced to 1/50th, which is almost negligible.

And the efficiency of space manipulation has been greatly improved, and he can easily open a huge node with a radius of ten meters in an instant.

There's also a huge improvement, instead of being able to open nearby nodes with physical touch, the power of skill can now be launched up to a hundred meters away to remotely turn nodes on and off.

Dean can even observe the spatial nodes that exist in the maple trees, humans, and animals, opening them remotely to split and cut off the target's heads, limbs, torsos, and internal organs, using spatial rifts to permanently devour parts of their bodies.

"This trick is called Space Devouring."

"In the past, skills could only enable node roaming, hiding, and defense, but now they have evolved to the level of long-range attacks, and they have become both offensive and defensive."

Moreover, in the experiment just now, Dean clearly felt the danger, and the power of the spatial cutting was only slightly weaker than the star arrow.

But there is no need to consume the precious and extraordinary materials used to craft the arrows, and it is even more economical, Dean can release it fifty times in a row.

"It's a pity that the skill still doesn't unlock time-related traits."

……

At present, he already has four killer weapons: Star Arrow, Life Energy Destruction Form, Space Devouring, and Nuclear Bomb.

It can be near or far.

There is pure physical killing, and there is also the destruction of spatial attributes.

Combined with the power of life plunder and the supernatural hunter specialty, the continuous combat ability is full.

Can basically crush most level 5 creatures.

Dean took a deep breath, grinning at the corners of his mouth, and took one last look at the panel,

"The strength has skyrocketed, the fog is a fatal disaster for others, but it is an opportunity for me."

……

Di Anxin opened his eyes contentedly, and suddenly felt that something was missing.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there was a little naughty noise missing, and he lowered his head and patted his pocket.

"Shoal, why haven't you spoken since Pier Town?"

The pocket of his coat squirmed twice, and the half-oblate badge came out, and the sixteen eyes blinked bitterly, and said in a childish voice,

"You had only lake monsters and ghosts in your eyes at the time, and you completely left me behind, and I thought you didn't need me as a servant anymore."

Dean grabbed the shoal in his palm and flicked its belly vigorously, making it scream like a pancake villain,

"Okay, I'll be honest, I've absorbed too many emotions in Bridge Pier Town that need to be digested, and the current progress of skill condensation has reached thirty-five percent."

As he spoke, it licked its big pie face and looked at Dean expectantly, and when it saw the other party give him a thumbs up, it happily flew to his instep, "The second reason is that when I was supervising Old Lady Carmody for you, I felt the residual breath of arrogance on her, and I was frightened, and now I have come to my senses. ”

"Arrogance."

Dean's eyes sank, and he couldn't help but have another question in his heart,

"An existence as arrogant as a powerful one can only hide in the space beyond the earth."

"The same goes for the Leviathan, the lord of hell, and the Baphren, the lord of the beasts."

These powerful gods have all disappeared from recent history, and even their followers can only act in a sneaky way.

"Shouldn't it be because they are rejected by God and the gods, and because science and technology are developing?"

Shoal's eyes rolled and he said that he understood, "Because these gods, once they descend on the main world where the earth is located, they will be inhibited unimaginably and their strength will fall to the bottom. ”

"This will be when they are at their weakest and most likely to be destroyed by the enemy."

"Naturally, they are reluctant to come to the earthly world."

Dean nodded,

"You have slept in the original for one or two hundred years, and you have absorbed a large amount of the essence of the sun and the moon, according to your experience, how did this inhibition come about?"

The sixteen eyes of the shallow shallow shrank into a slit at the same time, and they swept over the blank, "Sorry, master, I can't answer this question. But I can tell you another fact. ”

"Except for the Earth world and a very few worlds, there is no law of inhibition in the rest of the world."

"The law of inhibition?"

"That is, if the strength exceeds level 6, it will be forcibly weakened by the mysterious power."

Dean's eyelids jumped, and he immediately thought of his experience in the Psychic Prison and the upside-down world.

Neither of these other worlds weakened his strength.

"The law of inhibition is unique to the Earth world?"

Dean muttered, a sense of familiarity in his heart.

"What about the law of convergence?"

"Yes, master, the Law of Convergence is almost unique to the Earth world."

Therefore, the law of inhibition, which suppresses the upper limit of the strength of supernatural creatures, and the convergence law that supernatural things attract each other spontaneously from the day they are born,

Both mysterious iron rules are unique to the Earth world.

What makes the Earth so special? What is the connection between the two rules?

Dean fell into deep thought.

The law of inhibition is well understood, like some kind of protection against overly powerful supernatural beings from invading the earth world and causing irreparable destruction and destruction.

And the law of convergence seems to be deliberately creating chaos, forcing the fate of supernatural beings already in the earth world to intertwine, resulting in fierce confrontation and battle?

What can be the connection between one maintaining balance and the other destroying peace?

……

"It's almost there, Kenny." Sean in front interrupted Dean's musings.

Dean rubbed his swollen temples and looked out the window, where a sign read, "The U.S. border ahead," stood on the side of the road.

Soon, the construction of the border station appeared on the road, this point is very small, but the necessary road division and border inspection premises for crossing the border are still there, on the right is the passage from the United States to Canada, and on the left is from Canada to the United States, there are no superfluous signs, and there are only a few management personnel visible to the naked eye.

This is in stark contrast to the number of heavily armed men he saw when he entered the border checkpoint in Juarez, Mexico, from El Paso, Texas.

But there's no doubt that the bright passage of Chia Da is not for Dean and Sean.

"Turn left and find a quieter road."

The two men circled along the long border to the left of the border checkpoint, without any military installation or protective nets, and drove the car directly into the Canadian province of Quebec along the snow.
