Chapter 1592: Chapter 618: Returning to Youth_2

Seeing the rekindled fighting spirit in everyone’s eyes, Destiny noticed the small box in Yan Fei’s hand, capable of restricting space abilities. He said, "So, you’ve already manufactured such equipment. No wonder you’re so full of confidence. Very well, in light of your relentless pursuit, I shall bestow my mercy upon you and give you a glimpse of my true power!"

As Destiny finished speaking, an extraordinary change seemed to occur in the square. Yan Fei’s expression changed drastically because, from that moment onward, he could no longer sense his Drone Avatar or feel the presence of the Universal Space. Let alone retrieving items from the Universal Space—even his connection with Dreamland Cave World was severed.

Before embarking on this mission, Yan Fei had used the technology extrapolation system of the Auxiliary Brain to simulate battle scenarios. In those simulations, Yan Fei categorized Destiny’s abilities as space-related and entered all the abilities he possessed to devise various combat plans. But throughout the simulations, he experienced countless defeats. No matter how he adjusted his tactics or exhausted his mental energy trying to outmaneuver Destiny, the end was always the same: Yan Fei was killed by Destiny.

After thousands of failed attempts, Yan Fei nearly collapsed from despair. Finally, a sudden flash of inspiration allowed him to achieve a single victory. It was through this one successful simulation that Yan Fei derived the confidence to believe he could defeat Destiny.

In Yan Fei’s sole successful plan, he would find a way to get close to Destiny and activate the device that nullified Destiny’s space abilities, stripping him of his spatial powers. Yan Fei would then open his Universal Space, retrieve ten nuclear weapons with an explosion yield of 2 megatons of TNT each, and detonate them instantly.

At the moment of the nuclear explosion, Yan Fei would connect with his Dreamland Cave World and use its energy to create a temporary space channel. He would then escape into Dreamland Cave World, bringing Captain China and Who Am I along with him.

Once Yan Fei escaped, the ten nuclear weapons would detonate. With Destiny’s spatial powers restricted, he would have no means to relocate the nuclear weapons. The combined explosion yield of 20 megatons of TNT would completely collapse Mount Kilimanjaro. Even if Destiny were not directly obliterated by the nuclear explosion, he would be crushed to death under the mountain’s massive collapse.

Even if Destiny managed to detect the danger in time and followed Yan Fei through the space channel into Dreamland Cave World, he would be confronted by Yan Fei, who had already ascended to "Godhood." Within Dreamland Cave World, where Yan Fei wielded absolute superiority, Destiny would be thoroughly suppressed and eliminated.

Yan Fei’s plan had a high probability of success—it was the only viable strategy for defeating Destiny at present. However, the plan hinged on one critical factor: the need for a large number of God-Level Experts to pin down Destiny’s mobility. As long as Destiny couldn’t move beyond a 20-meter range from the device restricting his space abilities in a short amount of time, he would have no chance to turn the tables and would inevitably be killed by Yan Fei.

To utilize these God-Level Experts for his plan, Yan Fei had previously been tolerant toward them, ensuring they would help contain Destiny’s movements. Once Yan Fei detonated the nuclear weapons, these God-Level Experts would perish alongside Destiny. This part of the plan killed two birds with one stone: not only would Destiny be eradicated, but all other God-Level Experts would be eliminated as well. With no interference from Destiny or the God-Level Experts, Yan Fei and Dream Island would stand unrivaled in the world.

Yan Fei’s plan was meticulously crafted, accounting for every aspect. Yet, no one anticipated that once Destiny revealed his true killing intent, he would sever Yan Fei’s connections to both the Universal Space and Dreamland Cave World by some unknown means. This unforeseen development instantly nullified all of Yan Fei’s prior calculations, plunging him into a desperate situation. Without access to the Universal Space or Dreamland Cave World, his plan lost its foundation for execution.

Meanwhile, the faces of the other God-Level Experts also showed panic. It became apparent that their trump cards had likewise been sealed by Destiny, which explained their terror.

Destiny turned his head, his blood-red eyes gazing ominously at the God-Level Experts below. His stare sent shivers down their spines. However, those below couldn’t see Destiny’s face and were unable to discern his expression.

Destiny did not attack the God-Level Experts. Instead, he extended his hand again, releasing an ancient pocket watch. The watch dangled midair, its long chain wrapped around Destiny’s hand. He gently swung it, causing the pocket watch to sway back and forth.

Swaying the watch, Destiny spoke, "Do you know what this is?"

Yan Fei hesitated for a moment before answering, "It’s a pocket watch."

Destiny replied, "This object symbolizes time itself. This pocket watch is the external manifestation of time."

Fixing his gaze on Gary Zach, the famous detective from The United States of America, who still seemed baffled by the situation, Destiny said, "Gary Zach, while you’ve agreed to exchange your lifespan for your supernatural abilities to solve cases, deep down, you’re extremely dissatisfied. Despite your achievements, your body has deteriorated. Not only can you no longer enjoy the company of women, but you’re also on the verge of death. I’ve heard you curse this supernatural ability countless times in your heart, regretting your decision to trade your lifespan for it. Today, I shall grant you a rare mercy by returning the lifespan and youth I’ve taken from you over the years!"

Everyone was utterly confused. Although they understood each word Destiny spoke, when taken together, the meaning eluded them. From their perspective, once lifespan and youth are lost, they’re gone forever. Could they truly be returned?

As everyone questioned in disbelief, they watched as Destiny put away the pocket watch and suddenly flicked his finger, emitting a strange wave that enveloped Gary Zach. At that moment, an enormous phantom of a golden dial appeared behind Destiny. Though an illusion, the golden dial seemed incredibly real, occupying the entire underground space with an overwhelming presence. Compared to the colossal golden dial, everyone felt insignificantly small.

Under their stunned gazes, the gears within the golden dial phantom began to rotate. Although intangible, the sound of "tick-tock, tick-tock" from the gear movements echoed distinctly. Soon, someone noticed something amiss—the golden dial’s hands rotated counterclockwise, accelerating faster and faster until they resembled the blades of a fan.

Before their shocked eyes, as the golden dial’s hands whirled at high speed, Gary Zach’s appearance rapidly transformed. His white hair and beard darkened to black, the wrinkles on his face vanished, his hunched posture straightened, and his cloudy eyes regained clarity. He underwent a transformation from a frail old man to youthful vigor in an instant.

When the strange wave subsided, the golden dial phantom’s hands returned to their normal clockwise rotation. Gary Zach had transformed into a young Black man, looking around twenty years old. Full of vitality and strength, the youthful Gary stood completely different from his previous decrepit self. If the others hadn’t personally witnessed his transformation, they would never have believed this energetic young man was once the elderly Gary Zach.

Gary Zach froze momentarily. Then, feeling the abundant energy in his body, he examined his hands, touched his now-smooth face, and took a few powerful leaps. Overcome with joy, he exclaimed, "Oh my god, I’ve become young again! I’ve reversed aging!"

As they watched Gary Zach undergo the miraculous transformation from old age to youthful vigor in an instant, everyone was left utterly dumbfounded. They had just witnessed a miracle—a reversal of time itself—causing Gary Zach to experience the fantastical phenomenon of regaining his youth.
