Chapter 689: Chapter 7: True Heart (4,000 Words)

Unlike conventional cyberspace, Yun You’s domain wasn’t nurtured through long-term living and extreme emotions; it was developed by herself.

During the half-year mission in enemy territory, she encountered myriad Death God abilities and witnessed numerous incredibly bizarre techniques, from using human limbs to craft weapons to transforming bodies into metal or plastic to evade detection.

But among all these, the one that troubled her most was always the "Idle" type ability.

This kind of ability inherently possesses incredibly strong defense, much like cyberspace and the Death Domain. The caster can freely modify the physical rules inside the space, alter several universal constants, and thus make the space invincible.

Yun You’s task outside is to assassinate high-ranking enemy personnel, and normally, as long as there aren’t more than five high-tier guards by the target’s side, and not more than three Tier Five experts, she has great confidence in taking the target’s life.

But if there’s a Death God who can manipulate space beside the target, the difficulty of the assassination rises dramatically. Even if that Death God’s tier is lower than hers, as long as they open up their space, Yun You can’t break through that shell in a short time and has to retreat.

So later on, those major corporate executives smartened up and started bringing space-type Death Gods alongside them.

Thus, Yun You began to think about how to shatter these impenetrable turtle shells.

Her ultimate research led to the technique now displayed before Chen Zaikun.

She named it — Omni Resonance.

[Mimic Cyber Space·Omni Resonance]

[Space Type: Resonance Type]

[Ability Overview: Omni Resonance is not a true cyberspace but a simulated quasi-space. The principle is to create sound waves and energy waves through intense heartbeats, producing resonance with the surrounding space.]

[This ability can identify the "vibration" pattern of surrounding space, thus turning the space itself into a kind of "amplifier," significantly enhancing the power of energy waves. Using this fluctuation can damage the enemy’s space or domain, directly striking the space itself and making cyberspace vulnerable to destruction.]

[But the force is mutual; the greater the energy generated by resonance, the greater the damage to the heart itself.]

This is the ability Yun You developed.

Though its power is considerable, the damage it inflicts on Yun You herself is quite severe.

Five heartbeats cost her half her life.

However, it’s worth it...

"Sorry, Second Brother, I can understand your actions. Frankly, I don’t care about the so-called leader position and power."

Yun You held her slightly heavy chest and looked up at Chen Zaikun, speaking softly: "The reason I agreed to inherit the chief position from Master is because I want to protect the inheritance he left behind, not wanting his efforts to be in vain."

"And now, since you’ve stabilized the situation, Second Brother, and are indeed leading the Equality Association to a better direction, I truly have no need to contend with you... If you wish, I won’t retain any power."

"But..."

Yun You paused slightly.

"Except for Sixth Senior Sister, I cannot hand her over to you. Her safety was Master’s final wish, and I promised him I would protect her no matter what."

"..."

Chen Zaikun’s expression stiffened, then he sighed lightly.

"Now I finally understand why Master chose you as the successor, little one. You won’t compromise on matters of principle at all."

"Since that’s the case, don’t blame your Second Brother for being ruthless."

As the words fell, his aura suddenly soared! Jumping from the original Tier Five Peak directly to Tier Six!

"Hua-la——!"

In an instant, a mighty force surged like ocean waves towards the surroundings, Yun You nearly lost her footing, almost blown away by the gust.

She instinctively looked up and saw the Invisible Sequence pattern on Chen Zaikun’s forehead had changed.

The dark clouds grew thicker, but the dagger within the clouds split into three, exuding a chilling cold light.

"Tier Six! Is this a breakthrough on the spot?!!"

Yun You’s heart tensed but quickly sensed something’s wrong.

Because after breaking through Tier Six, Chen Zaikun’s aura didn’t stop but continued climbing until it reached Tier Six Middle, slowly coming to a halt.

This was far from a sudden breakthrough.

Only those with the [Eating] ability, like Yun You, can reach the peak of new realms by consuming stored energy within at the breakthrough moment. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Other ordinary people can’t do this.

Chen Zaikun’s ability to achieve this means he wasn’t making an emergency breakthrough at all, but... had long reached this realm, merely hiding it on ordinary days.

This is the true meaning of Invisible, not only hiding one’s form and actions in combat but also concealing one’s personality and strength in daily life, portraying an image of "non-contention."

Only by doing so can he avoid suspicion from any fellow disciples... even Master himself, and secretly maneuver while planting his influence across various corps.

[This guy is a Tier Six powerhouse... Can’t fight head-on, retreat first!]

Master Zero also sensed this terrifying aura and quickly urged.
