Chapter 574: 199. Siege of Canyue!_2

Buzzzz...

In the semi-plane, a faint disturbance quietly formed, but this slight commotion, amid the frenzied dance of thunder and the howling of the storm in the Elemental Semi-plane, was essentially like a needle falling to the ground.

So, the problem with the execution phase—

He looked at the implant gear arm he had replaced.

Drip drip drip drip...

The storm whipped up a downpour, which fell in torrents.

Canyue’s gaze sharpened.

—Not long ago, during the fight with Leoz, there had been a momentary delay in the interactive nerves of his cybernetic body.

And it was that split second of delay that allowed Leoz to grab him and punch him in the face.

He had already performed maintenance to troubleshoot, so there shouldn’t have been any problems.

But looking back now, it was since that malfunction that his entire strategy had been disrupted.

Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo——————!!!

The elemental giants around him suddenly went mad, darting about and flying in all directions, screaming high into the sky.

"What’s going on?!"

Canyue’s heart jolted, his gaze sweeping in all directions. All the elemental giants had gone berserk, not even noticing his presence despite his extraordinary charm. One by one, the storm giants tore open their cores, electricity winding around their bodies as they rushed directly at him.

"Scram!"

With a wave of his hand, Canyue’s arcane powers tore through dimensions, slicing all these elemental giants apart. Yet despite the purity of the dimensional cutting, devoid of any heat reaction or kinetic energy—these elemental bodies still detonated in self-sacrifice the moment they misaligned with space.

The bodies of the storm giants swelled to four or five hundred times their original size, releasing all their energy in an instant. The assembled giants let out piercing screams, as if inducing some kind of resonance, their bodies rapidly expanding before immediately self-destructing!

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

Canyue swiftly retreated, caught off-guard by the elemental self-detonations.

His arcane energy could traverse dimensions, but he was unable to twist them into a defense, and here, in the home realm of the elemental giants, the explosions came without any warning or time to react. Canyue, who repeatedly attempted to activate his arcane powers, was directly blasted, forcibly interrupting the flow of his arcane energy.

After several rounds of bombings, Canyue kept retreating, his muscles paralyzing, lightning etching stark scars on his body. The burning damage was unbearably painful, making him think for a moment that his soul had been blown out of his body.

"Morphederia above—what the hell is this?!"

Canyue cursed, then abruptly turned his head, his gaze landing on the spit he had just expelled.

In the Atmospheric Elemental Semi-plane, with no solid ground and extremely low gravity, all matter suspended in the air. By all accounts, his spit should have quickly gathered into a ball and floated there.

However, the spit fell straight downward as if sinking into an endless abyss!

Gravity...

Canyue’s body trembled involuntarily. The gravity had traced back to him across space and time.

No, this wasn’t Leoz’s gravity.

"This is the gravity of the Layer Abyss! The semi-plane is falling towards the reality plane!"

Canyue’s first reaction was disbelief.

Because Leoz’s arcane energy development level was very low, unlikely to surpass the level of contact, such a level of arcane energy couldn’t possibly be dragging a semi-plane down toward the real world.

Besides Leoz’s effect of arcane energy, there was another possibility.

During Canyue’s three years of clandestine studies at the Baizhu Interstellar University, he had learned of some terrifyingly high-level magic. Controlled by High Mages specializing in magic guidance, also known as the Magic Industry, they used intricate chain reactions to directly connect with semi-planes, big and small, throughout the cosmos. Using formulas and mathematics, they remotely extracted energy from them.

And when the energy plummeted, the mages didn’t waste it; they used these semi-planes as weapon reserves, stuffing them with all sorts of special magic bombs, ready to drop on their foes at any moment.

’Such a method requires extreme mathematical calculation power—it could only be the work of someone beyond Zeta Rank!’

Damn it, Leoz—he freezes spacetime not to deal with me, but for baiting?

But Bablushka promised to seal off the planet.

Canyue was utterly perplexed; he had no clue why he was so unlucky.

By now, there was no more opportunity to think about it.

Rumble rumble rumble—

The atmosphere was rapidly depleted. Canyue struggled to stabilize his form as billions of tons of gas were drawn out by the Layer Abyss, sucked away with terrifying velocity. The force that fell upon him was irresistible.

He had no choice.

Canyue struggled to stretch his hands forward, supporting his body.

Jump out!

The next moment, Canyue’s figure instantly appeared in the real world of Trevela City.

The moment he landed, the normal streets and the moist air around him immediately gave him the sense that something was wrong.

Crack!

As soon as Canyue landed, he sensed a terrifying presence winding through heaven and earth.

Elements, this planet... were fearing something.

Boom boom boom...

The thunder rolled, and a cold wind howled in the sky; the thick atmospheric elements in the air made Canyue think he had not jumped out at all.

Canyue looked up, but before he could come to his senses, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

"Hi, Grand Thief."

He turned his head, and Li Aozi’s face, covered with bloodstained cracks, stretched into a cruel smile:

"Is the otherworld fun?"

At his feet rolled an empty bottle of wine.

Canyue’s pupils contracted, and he immediately tried to jump again.

However, this time, [Canyue] did not activate.

His arcane energy seemed to have crashed straight into an invisible wall!

"Activation failed? No, the space has been locked, prohibiting jumping—is it a [Dimensional Anchor]?!"

Canyue’s mind raced, but Li Aozi was so close that he immediately created a slow spacetime zone with a Spacetime Ripple.

His body couldn’t keep up.

"Where do you think you’re going? Senior Canyue!"

Li Aozi grabbed his shoulder and extended blue Neural Tentacles from his palm, instantly piercing the other’s neck.

Canyue, being suppressed, sensed Li Aozi’s intention and sneered:

"You want to snatch my genetic code? Useless, my genetic information has long been dimensionally reduced by [Canyue], you can’t touch me!"

[[Canyue] arcane energy activation—you can search for dimensionally reduced targets.]
