My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 268 - 267: Sand Between the Fingers – Leaving the Battlefield!

The truth is out!

No wonder, the Demon Seed always gave off a subtle sense of discord...

Feeling everyone's eyes on him, Ma Ran nodded slightly and said softly, "Let's discuss this issue after we return!"

"Let's first figure out how to get through this hurdle!"

Crack, crack, crack...

The subspace made sounds like breaking crystals, gradually distorting and becoming illusory.

"We can't hold on much longer!"

Su Qiangwei bit her red lips tightly, urgently saying, "We must quickly think of a way! This guy's methods are so strong! I'm absolutely no match!"

These words were not just about herself, they were also a reminder to Ma Ran that after the intense battle earlier, the Demon Seed's energy was excessively depleted, and now even the human form it assumed was becoming blurred.

Li Xing and Wu Di, one came to the Eternal Civilization under the guise of a "war correspondent," and the other purely for gaining experience, enduring the fires of battles to grow.

Previously, whether it was blowing up the Consciousness Transmission Factory or suppressing the Planetary Transformation Factory, both managed to contribute somewhat.

However, when facing the white-haired, gray-skinned mastermind behind the Eternal Civilization, Wu Di and Li Xing had no means of resistance whatsoever.

In such a state, the combat power of the Interstellar Expedition Team might be less than thirty percent of its peak!

The girl was extremely intelligent, her mind worked far faster than ordinary people, and in an instant, she knew the best course of action.

But...

Su Qiangwei was very clear about one thing—Ma Ran is the expedition team's commander, the brain, and the one giving orders.

On the battlefield, two leaders cannot exist.

Out of trust, she would not overstep her bounds and do Ma Ran's job.

Ma Ran must make a rapid decision!

Whether to expend all efforts to fight to the death or turn and flee, it didn't matter.

Su Qiangwei would not raise any objections.

She would carry out Ma Ran's decision without hesitation.

Ma Ran didn't hesitate for even a moment and made a decisive choice: "The strategic goal of this Interstellar Expedition has been achieved, there's no need to linger here any longer!"

"Cancel [Subspace] and use [Pandora] to take out the Interstellar Jump Pod."

"After [Unlocking], use the [Sand Between the Fingers] ability..."

"I will simulate a Sword Soul Fluctuation to break the Armor One Ray Force Field created by the opponent."

He didn't elaborate too much on the details.

For instance, what should everyone do after subspace is cancelled and they are directly facing the mastermind behind the Eternal Civilization.

At such a critical moment, every second was immensely valuable.

Ma Ran not explaining naturally meant he had his plans.

Whether he still had a trump card allowing him to handle the mysterious formidable enemy or simply believed in the bond between comrades, it didn't matter.

Su Qiangwei nodded, took a deep breath, and closed her dry, sore eyes.

Clap!

The subspace, already under immense gravitational pressure, suddenly shattered.

Ma Ran, donned in a black coat with silver edges and wielding a crimson Tang Blade, the half-gun half-human state of the Demon Seed, the stiff body of Wu Di, and Li Xing with his hand frozen to the Perpetual Motion Camera, all appeared on the battlefield simultaneously.

Looking around, the surroundings were all rubble and ruin.

The dark red bloodstains and black clouds made one's heart feel heavy.

The strong smell of gunpowder and blood wafting in the air made one's lungs feel uncomfortable.

No one paid attention to these as the moment Su Qiangwei activated the [Pandora] ability and brought out the Interstellar Jump Pod, everyone immediately sprang into action.

The order of entering the "White Coffin" was originally a trivial matter, not worth mentioning under normal circumstances.

But now, going in first or last could mean the difference between life and death.

Even Li Xing, a newcomer, showed his spirited camaraderie and had no intention of jumping in first.

"Wu Di, you go first!"

Ma Ran stood between the Interstellar Jump Pod and the Longevity mastermind, his tone urgent.

Hearing this, Wu Di instinctively looked at the Demon Seed.

Theoretically, the newcomer to the academy, Li Xing, should be the first to retreat.

But...

This was Ma Ran's decision and judgment.

He gritted his teeth and dashed into the White Coffin without turning back.

In the instant when Wu Di leaped into the Interstellar Jump Pod, Su Qiangwei activated a Pillar Level superpower awakened by a second-year member of the Yingchuan Academy—[Sand Between the Fingers]!

The [Sand Between the Fingers] superpower sounded poetic, suggesting it had something to do with sand.

But actually, it's not so.

Its ability is quite simple, with many limitations—it allows the equipment of a friendly intelligent being to revert to a state from a point within the past twenty-four hours, lasting for three seconds.

Superpower activated!

Wu Di's tattered academy uniform was instantly covered by a layer of pure white full coverage protective clothing.

Beep!

A blue light flashed on the Interstellar Jump Pod, verifying his identity.

The moment Wu Di entered the Interstellar Jump Pod, he lost consciousness.

In his vision, the figures of his four teammates quickly blurred.

"You must survive..."

This was a protective measure for jumping through a wormhole.

The second person Ma Ran arranged to enter the pod was Li Xing.

Although Li Xing thought that, at such a time, the National Guardian level ability users should retreat first—whether Ma Ran or Su Qiangwei would be a better choice—he didn't question or oppose it.

He knew very well that every second of hesitation on his part at such a time was dragging the team down, wasting the safe retreat opportunity his comrades fought to create—committing a crime!

Even if he couldn't contribute to reversing the battle, even if he was weak, at the very least...

At the very least, he couldn't drag everyone down!

As he ran towards the Interstellar Jump Pod, an invisible and intangible terrifying gravity pressed down, making Li Xing stumble and almost fall to his knees.

If he hadn't had a flash of inspiration to activate the [Extreme Cold] ability, creating some ice pillars to push himself into the Interstellar Jump Pod, he would likely have shattered his knees and lost all ability to move under the terrifying gravitational pressure.

A white protective suit appeared on Li Xing, a flash of blue light from the Interstellar Jump Pod, and Li Xing also fell into a slumber.

"Ma Ran, you take the Demon Seed..."

Under the terrifying gravity, even speaking became extremely difficult for Su Qiangwei.

Before she could finish her sentence and lock eyes with Ma Ran, she immediately realized her assumption was probably incorrect.

But she really couldn't understand, without her, how Ma Ran would pass the identity check for the Interstellar Jump Pod.

Su Qiangwei had many questions.

She believed in Ma Ran but didn't want to see him die tragically at the main base of the Eternal Civilization because of overconfidence.

The terrifying gravity crushed the ground into pieces.

The world was collapsing!

In the distance, countless modular cube houses of the Longevity Star People shattered one by one, and the residents inside couldn't even utter a scream, dying tragically on the spot.

Having gone through several intense battles, using various superpowers multiple times in a short span, and needing to focus on precise operations—

Even with the Inner Qi given by Ma Ran earlier, Su Qiangwei was now finding it hard to manage.

Judging by the current rate of gravity increase, she felt she could last at most three more seconds!

In a peak state, without external interference, Su Qiangwei could easily fit dozens of people into the Interstellar Jump Pod within that time.

But now...

The time was too, too short!

It simply wasn't enough!
