This sword strike swept across, annihilating all the mechanical warriors along the way with a devastating force.
As for those engaged in battle with the mechanical warriors, they remained unscathed, only feeling a gentle breeze pass by, and then the mechanical warriors they struggled against turned to dust in an instant.
The power of this sword left the entire scene in temporary silence.
Yu Ming lowered his sword and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Is this indeed a presence I can never surpass, no matter how hard I try?
At the same time, Zhang Tianyou, amidst the mechanical ranks, shuddered and suddenly recalled something, then shouted a name with a sinister voice.
"Xue An! You didn’t die in there, and you actually came out?"
"Of course, I didn’t die. If I had, how could I watch this grand spectacle?"
As the voice traveled, a figure slowly emerged beside Huyue, it was Xue An, clad in snow-white garments.
Upon appearing before everyone, he didn’t rush to deal with Zhang Tianyou but instead turned to Huyue with a slight smile.
"What were you saying just now?"
Huyue’s expression stiffened, then he chuckled nervously with great guilt.
"Noth... nothing at all!"
"Oh? Then why did I just hear you mumbling my name?"
"Uh... wasn’t I worried about you? After all, you’ve been gone so long without returning, as your closest friend, of course, I’d be concerned, so mentioning your name occasionally behind your back isn’t too much, right?"
Xue An laughed, "Not at all, not at all, by all means, I should thank you properly later!"
Saying so, Xue An leapt up and headed straight for the mechanical ranks across the way.
Watching his distant figure, Huyue’s eyes were filled with deep concern.
He wasn’t scared by Xue An’s last words of "thanks" in the slightest.
His real fear stemmed from why Xue An returned safely, yet the world had not changed one bit.
Knowing that Xue An went to correct the chaotic timeline,
Normally, when Xue An returns, there should be tremendous changes in this world.
But nothing happened.
Could it be he failed?
Or perhaps... nothing can be changed at all?
The thought pressed down on Huyue, leaving him breathless.
With the safety of his sister at stake, even the usually optimistic Huyue could no longer remain optimistic.
And at that moment, Xue An charged alone into the mechanical ranks.
Though Xue An’s previous sword had wiped out most of the mechanical warriors, the remaining number was still considerable.
Especially under Zhang Tianyou’s mand, they all huddled together, forming tight defensive lines, with Zhang Tianyou protected in the center.
But these defenses, which might have been somewhat effective against others, were virtually ineffective against Xue An.
He strolled leisurely through the layers of defenses, where the mechanical warriors couldn’t even struggle, directly twisted and pressed into thin metal sheets by a terrifying force from the void.
Soon after, Xue An was in front of Zhang Tianyou.
"Seems like you know quite a lot, otherwise why be surprised by my escape, right?"
Zhang Tianyou’s face turned incredibly grim, "I am indeed surprised, that the great Space-Time Serpent didn’t take your life!"
"Haha, are you talking about him?"
Xue An casually threw out the coiled-up Giant Serpent man he held.
He grew with the wind, and by the time he hit the ground, he had transformed back into his original sinister and arrogant form.
Seeing him, Zhang Tianyou’s face changed drastically.
"Impossible! How could the great Space-Time Serpent bee your captive?"
"And why not?" Xue An smiled.
The Giant Serpent man was also clever, stepping forward at once.
"Audacious Star Ring, why don’t you reveal your true form and kneel in greeting before me?"
But Star Ring wasn’t a pushover; after the initial shock, he quickly regained clarity, and then he discerned the truth.
"You’re not the great Space-Time Serpent; he can’t be this weak. Who exactly are you?"
"Hehe, I am a clone of the great Space-Time Serpent, technically your superior. Are you not kneeling yet?"
The Giant Serpent man might not have much strength, but his pretense and audacity were expertly executed.
But Zhang Tianyou, or rather Star Ring, excelled in calculation and observation, and quickly saw through the ploy, sneering, he looked at Xue An.
"Xue An, I must say, your strength and luck are quite remarkable, being able to escape the prison personally crafted for you by the great Space-Time Serpent, but so what? This world is already ruined beyond pare, even if you have the power to overturn heaven, you cannot change it all!"
"What are you saying?" With a shout, the arriving Huyue landed, his face full of rage as he looked at Zhang Tianyou.
"What did I say? Haha, I said the truth, the timeline of this world has been altered, and once the old world is buried, there’s no possibility of restoration! So just give up, hahaha!"
Zhang Tianyou laughed wildly, while Huyue, with a heart full of rage, stepped forward wanting to teach him a harsh lesson.
Xue An stopped him, then squinted his eyes, gazing coldly at Zhang Tianyou.
"You don’t seem afraid at all?"
"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? Afraid you’ll kill me? Don’t joke, I am now one with this body; unless you want him not to live, any attack on me is an attack on him."
"Besides, even if you kill this me now, what difference does it make? My avatars are spread throughout The Multiverse, if one perishes, I’ll just restart another! So Xue An, you’ve already lost this game!" Zhang Tianyou said with a vicious expression.
Upon hearing this, Huyue turned pale, nearly collapsing to the ground.
He had never felt such despair as he did now.
If what Zhang Tianyou said were true, then wouldn’t his sister be lost forever?
As for the others, they were in a stir.
Although they couldn’t fully understand the conversation between Zhang Tianyou and Xue An, it didn’t hinder them from sensing the gravity of the situation.
But at that moment, a faint, cold smile appeared at the corner of Xue An’s mouth, with a hint of mockery.
"That’s quite the story you told, but you seem to have forgotten something!"
"Oh? Forgotten what?"
"Do you really believe you are entirely fused with his body?"
"Ridiculous, I’ve checked cell by cell, there can’t possibly be any oversight, so..."
Before he could finish, Xue An stated calmly, "The munication link has been established, aren’t you going to act?"
