“Don’t worry, we’ll have hit the road long before this thing takes shape. There’s no threat to us,” Qin Muye estimated the time, realizing that it would take at least five hours for it to materialize.

“No, what I mean is that the Cloud Whale incident might have been caused by humans,” Sun Zhen astonishingly suggested, leaving Qin Muye with a face full of WTF.

“But you’re right, there are some doubts here. This Cloud Whale would surely encounter other humans while fleeing, so why specifically attack us?”

“Wait, if this Cloud Whale really came fleeing for its life, then after we rewind time next time, couldn’t we replenish our micro missiles at the nearby base?” Qin Muye suddenly realized this possibility.

“And now, the only thing that’s changed is the two of us.”

“Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense for the Cloud Whale to go crazy like this.”

“We can try it out first. If it really works, then we don’t have to worry about running out of trump cards later,” Sun Zhen also came to this realization, barely taking it as good news.

“That’s not right, though. For an operation of such magnitude, you shouldn’t be unaware of it. Even if you don’t belong to the base nearby, something as big as slaughtering a group of Cloud Whales would definitely cause a huge commotion,” Qin Muye pointed out a blind spot.

“That I didn’t know. If there really were a Taunting Face or a Taunting Aura, then carrying out missions would certainly be a very ‘acidic’ experience, but obviously you’ve never experienced it, right?” Qin Muye hadn’t added such things; why would he bother with that crap?

“So, the reason why this Cloud Whale fought us desperately becomes obvious.”

“No wonder there’s a strict ban on killing or destroying Abnormalities. The more they die, the more trouble they cause,” Sun Zhen realized the horror at this moment.

“Omega Level Abnormality·King of Cloud Sea.” Being one of the culprits, Sun Zhen knew instantly of the revenge spirit that was named King of Cloud Sea. Its ethereal body continued to expand, forming a powerful Abnormality from the assembled Cloud Whale pod.

“And then? You’re not suggesting that if we go back half a month, we’d see the Biological Master clashing with the Cloud Whales, are you?” Qin Muye felt that was unlikely.

“What do you mean?” Qin Muye was confused. Either way, didn’t it mean the events had become an established fact?

“So there’s actually a taunting element in my Main Character Aura?” Sun Zhen raised an eyebrow. He definitely didn’t have a Taunting Face; he hadn’t encountered such a thing in all these years unless there was something wrong with Qin Muye’s Main Character Aura.

“I suspect something’s happened to the Cloud Whale pod,” Sun Zhen explained briefly.

“What confidence can I have? It’s my first time dealing with something like this. Too bad I didn’t bring a flamethrower. Otherwise, burning them might have delayed things,” Sun Zhen said helplessly. Although he still had some grenades and stuff, they were almost useless against the flesh that was now merging.

“Looking at it now, if it’s not due to the Main Character Aura, then there’s a hidden aspect to this incident. It’s unlikely that someone would slaughter a group of Cloud Whales. But actually, it’s also possible that this Cloud Whale was one that lived alone in the present world,” Sun Zhen didn’t conclude too definitely.

“Since this Cloud Whale is born from a pod, it naturally has profound affection for its kin.”

“Is it possible that it’s all because you have a Taunting Face?” Qin Muye thought, well, it’s normal for a protagonist, right?

“The Cloud Whales have gone extinct? The one we just killed was the last Cloud Whale!” Sun Zhen’s expression carried surprise, for it was he who had killed it, so he felt it.

“The Cloud Whale pod can travel a thousand kilometers an hour. They might not match some planes, but their speed is definitely very fast, so the initial crime scene isn’t here but rather at a more distant location. Most of the All World Protector Organization bases are out of contact with each other, how could I possibly know about these things.”

“In the originally scheduled time, the Biological Master did indeed encounter the Cloud Whales but did not engage in a suicide attack like this time. Instead, it left, not wanting to entangle with the Biological Master. Judging from the bear-type Synthetic Beast, the current stage of the Biological Master actually couldn’t harm the Cloud Whales at all.”

“Damn these ghost things, you can’t even kill them,” Sun Zhen muttered under his breath. He didn’t know what this brand-new Abnormality born from the Cloud Whale would be, but he knew it definitely wasn’t anything good.

“This Cloud Whale might not be one that was left alone but rather a member of the Cloud Whale pod that was housed in the Dragon Vein, in the Cloud Mist Sea, from the incapacitated shelter,” Sun Zhen abruptly started speaking.

“It seems like this thing is about to come back to life. Are you confident?” Qin Muye asked.

Their limited computational capacity dictated a make-do attitude.

It was already a pile of smashed flesh and bones, and another blast would only make it finer, with no real impact, especially considering the abundance of bloody materials around it. His little consumables were nothing but a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention anything else, both Emperor and Dr. Dragon would definitely cease fire and join forces to expel the King of Cloud Sea right away, as their conflict is an internal human one, and neither wanted their interests jeopardized.

Unless there was something like a miniature sonic directional missile, there was no hope for large-scale cleansing.

But from the current perspective, it’s indeed nothing to be thrilled about.

Later, he noticed the surrounding flesh beginning to resonate wildly, as all the deceased Cloud Whales’ flesh began to reshape the spirit of vengeance, the huge Cloud Whale within the clouds.

During their rest, they chatted sporadically, seemingly indifferent, but their entire attention was actually focused on the copious amounts of Cloud Whale flesh around them.

Unlike derived entities such as Synthetic Beasts, those born from Abnormalities pose no issues when killed or destroyed, like the Ghosts that can be slain within the Ghost. But destroying the Ghost itself would cause problems, just as the thrilling Big Escape Killing live broadcast is actually part of the Ghost.

With the abilities of the King of Cloud Sea, the All World Protector Organization would be unable to contain it if they wanted to.

Dr. Dragon’s primary goal was the protection of human civilization, so when the King of Cloud Sea appeared, their disputes became unified against the external threat. The saying ‘to pacify within before resisting outsiders’ was not applicable in this situation.

Whale cries emerged faintly from the bloody flesh, and above the sky, a giant phantom of a Cloud Whale swam through the clouds, its immense body turning inside out, with copious amounts of illusory blood dripping down.

There were still two and a half hours left before the Time Retrospective Pocket Watch could be used, and he did not know if he could hold on until then.

Even if the estimates were off, the cooldown time for the Time Retrospective Pocket Watch was only about two hours left. Moreover, even if the King of Cloud Sea truly materialized, it was improbable that it could annihilate them all in an instant.

Qin Muye had no particular thoughts about this; he was just an anchor point. If Sun Zhen could fight, let Sun Zhen take over; if not, call for the actual body to come.

It was indeed not difficult for the All World Protector Organization to slaughter a school of Cloud Whales, but the question was what was the point in killing them.

With such a colossal body, there was nowhere to accommodate it. It seemed the only solution was to find a way to drive it away from the planet, letting the King of Cloud Sea ravage the cosmos.

Sun Zhen attempted to explain the logic before and after but found a doubt in the process.

Sun Zhen quickly shared his conjecture with Qin Muye.

He didn’t know what consequences destroying or killing an Abnormality might bring, as he had completed all confinement tasks perfectly over the years.

Miniature sonic directional missiles were indeed very helpful, particularly against a large number or giant dangerous entities, capable of nullifying any advantage they had.

Once it materialized, its size would be no less than that of the entire Dragon Vein.

His intuition told him that once resurrected, it would undoubtedly be even more terrifying.

The Abnormality was dead, but not completely gone; some entirely new Life Form was being reborn.

After cleaning up the remnants left by the Cloud Whales, Sun Zhen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; he had clearly seen the flesh of the Cloud Whales continuously accumulating.

If this planet was in trouble, where would Emperor go to rule the world?

If they were to really strike the entire planet, not to mention anything else, the planet would have to shift its position, and the continental plates would probably be shattered into pieces.

Before this, they had assumed the Cloud Whale had been lying in wait here, so it truly had nowhere to go. But if it was fleeing, then yesterday, the Cloud Whale would have been in a far-off place, with no worries about another wave of deadly impact.

It was impossible to leave now. It was likely that hundreds of miles around were covered with a layer of Cloud Whale flesh at the moment of their explosive demise. Everywhere was the same; it might as well be this area that had been cleaned.
