I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods
Chapter 688 - 6: Resonance of Heartbeats (4,000 Words)_2
"Success!"
The girl could even feel the oppressive pressure of the cold, sticky white light waves crashing behind her, but her fingertips had already touched the cold edge of the load-bearing pillar.
However, just at the moment her fingertips were about to completely penetrate the safe zone...
A tiny, insignificant splash of white "foam," like droplets from the crest of a wave, lightly touched the edge of her fluttering skirt.
"Tss—"
Instantly, a kind of indescribable... sluggishness emanating from the depths of her marrow spread throughout her body like sticky spider webbing from that tiny point of contact.
If one must describe it, it was like getting an electric shock.
"Not good...!"
Yun You was startled in her heart, feeling as if she had suddenly plunged headlong into mucus, as if time had been stretched and distorted by an invisible giant hand...
The inertia of her sprint forward continued, but her body felt as if it was filled with heavy mercury, and every movement became incredibly difficult, incredibly slow.
She could clearly see her outstretched arm moving forward in a slow-motion manner, feel her heart’s slow beat in her chest, her thoughts remaining as clear as ever, yet her body slowed down...
The contraction of muscles, the bending of joints, normal actions under usual circumstances, all became difficult to complete.
The information was wrong! Or perhaps... incomplete!
Chen Zaikun concealed part of the facts.
Complete "stagnation" indeed required full envelopment by the white light.
But this does not mean that before the envelopment is complete, these lights have no effect.
On the contrary, the light has the ability to slow down time from the beginning, just that its effect is weaker before it takes shape.
But so-called "weak" is also relative.
Because in this level of combat, even a one percent weakening can sometimes affect the outcome.
Moreover, the effect of the white light on Yun You was at least over 80%.
Seeing more light rushing toward her, Yun You’s mind was racing.
Switch to the Lord Sequence? Time might be tight.
Hide with Invisible’s aura? Also not realistic. Chen Zaikun himself is an Invisible, and he must know them well. Those lights most likely have automatic homing capabilities.
Let Master Zero come out to fight? Doesn’t seem to be a way either, as charging takes time.
As for Karma Remnant Buddha and the like... they also face the problem of insufficient time.
After thinking it through, there was only one method left.
"Although this method is still just a ’prototype’, I have to give it a try."
"Be ready, Master Zero."
Yun You thought silently in her heart.
[OK!]
Master Zero agreed without hesitation.
The next moment, a fury from the deepest part of her soul ignited like a volcano dormant for millennia beneath the frozen ice.
Yun You struggled to extend her right hand, and under her command, Red Scale transformed into a Giant Claw, pressing fiercely on the chest cavity where her heart pounded unbearably slow and heavy, continuously compressing...!
"Uh... ah!"
A silent shout exploded in her consciousness, and all her spiritual power turned into an invisible giant hammer, fiercely "smashing" down on her heart!
Thud—!
The first beat...
Her heart suddenly contracted and then expanded with violent force like a spring compressed to its limit, rebounding aggressively!
"Boom!"
A terrifying, substantial sonic boom erupted with a transparent shock wave visible to the naked eye, distorting the air, exploding from Yun You’s heart!
The surrounding stagnant white light was pushed back for the first time as if a giant stone had been thrown into a slurry! The seemingly eternal sound of waves also became disordered...
But the heartbeat hadn’t ended.
The second beat!
The force grew exponentially!
Boom...!
The second sonic boom was even more violent than the first, and the shock wave was no longer ring-shaped but charged like a roaring beast, fiercely colliding with the enveloping stagnant white light...
The white light fluctuated violently, like a heavy curtain torn by a gale, producing a piercing friction sound!
"Screech~!"
Before explaining further...
The third beat!
Yun You’s will burned, her soul seemed to shatter with this strike, and her power doubled again.
"Thud..."
The third sound was no longer a simple sonic boom but triggered the resonance of the entire space! The pure white Domain space trembled fiercely with the terrifying heartbeat, like a giant drumhead! The ground, the air, the omnipresent white light, all trembled crazily!
The white light barrier imprisoning her showed web-like dense spatial cracks for the first time! The sound of the waves was thoroughly suppressed, leaving only the groans of space being overwhelmed!
The cost was enormous! Yun You felt each heartbeat as if it was burning her life away! But she never gave up, her eyes filled with crazy resolve.
"Boom—"
Under Chen Zaikun’s slightly dazed gaze, the fourth sound appeared.
Space resonance reached a critical point, and those dense cracks instantly expanded, connecting like black lightning crazily traversing the pure white background.
The entire structure of the sealed building emitted a dull groan in this terrifying resonance! The thick special alloy plates welded over the windows and doors started to show wave-like undulations, the solid metal now like dough being kneaded by an invisible giant force.
Finally... the fifth heartbeat.
The second and also Yun You’s final strike.
Her consciousness was almost shredded by the violent power’s backlash, but she squeezed out the last bit of potential, letting out a roar.
"Break, for me, break!!!"
"..."
There was no sound because the entire building was drawn into a vacuum.
But the terror of the power exploded outward, resonance reached an unprecedented peak.
Crack!
Finally, with a soft snap, the seemingly indestructible white light barrier encasing Yun You could no longer withstand the resonant force from within and shattered like a crystal struck by a giant hammer.
Countless pure white fragments shot out in all directions!
The seal was forcibly torn open... This desperate heartbeat violently, irrationally blasted open a massive breach.
Yun You’s figure, with the remnants of the not fully dissipated stagnant white light fragments, staggered out from the broken white light like a blood-drenched demon escaping from Hell.
Her face was pallid, blood trickled from her mouth, and her heart area throbbed with searing pain. Every breath tasted of blood. Still, her eyes burned with a fire more intense and crazed than before.
She had shattered eternal stagnation, paying a huge price, yet life had revealed itself.
"Second brother, there are more than just you who possesses Cyberspace."
Yun You leaned against the pillar, smiling softly as she spoke.
"What is... this ability?"
Chen Zaikun stared blankly at the scene before him, never thinking that one day, his Domain Eternal Moment would be cracked by such violent methods.
It was simply inconceivable, as Cyberspace itself was extremely formidable, wield them properly, and they could even surpass several levels in combat.
And his rank was evidently not lower than Yun You’s, possibly even higher, yet his Domain, his Cyberspace was shattered by a little girl.
A trickle of bright red blood seeped from his mouth.
The usage of Cyberspace is itself a projection of Soul Power, so once violently broken, the soul experiences severe backlash.
He seemed to be less injured than Yun You, but in truth, both his internal organs and brain were riddled, akin to the shattered space of Eternal Moment.
"Cyber... space..."
A moment later, Chen Zaikun came to realize the essence of this ability.
Common abilities could not affect Cyberspace, as they did not exist on the same "plane."
Simply put, Cyberspace is like a piece of paper, and ordinary abilities are the drawings on that paper. No matter the intensity of the drawings’ representation, they cannot damage the paper itself.
Only another Cyberspace can conquer Cyberspace.
Which means...
The move Yun You just used was indeed Cyberspace.
Her own self-realized "Domain."
