Chapter 1253: Chapter 550: Unknown Territory! (2)

“Are you sure?” The voice of the Ship of Destruction echoed, tinged with a trace of dread.

“Trust me,” Shen Ye replied.

The void instantly opened.

A small wooden boat appeared in the water, supporting Shen Ye, and surged upward with all its strength.

Splash—

Shen Ye and the small wooden boat emerged above the water!

The Ship of Destruction now possessed pure Power of Destruction.

Just as was seen in the battle earlier—

The Power of Destruction is effective!

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the boat, and looked down.

The buzzing sound on the battle armor disappeared.

Its defensive power remained!

“Why has it become such a small wooden boat?” Shen Ye inquired via transmitted thought.

“I don’t know, instinctively I didn’t want to make a big deal—better to be cautious,” the Ship of Destruction replied.

“Can we move? We have to leave this river.”

“Not really—this place is too strange, my strength is draining rapidly, I fear I won’t last even five minutes.”

The voice of the Ship of Destruction echoed in Shen Ye’s mind.

Shen Ye remained composed and said to Augustus in mid-air: “Did you see that? If you want me dead here, it’s your miscalculation.”

Augustus smirked mockingly:

“You’ve always had a bit of cunning.”

“But with your level of strength, you won’t last long, I just need to wait quietly for a few minutes, and your end will be—”

The voice abruptly stopped.

Shen Ye was somewhat surprised but saw Augustus glance into the depths of the mist, his face twisting with fear.

“Farewell, Baxter, and that foolish ship—”

“You shall perish here.”

Leaving these words, the tentacles, with Augustus’s head, swiftly retreated into the mist, rapidly disappearing.

Quickly.

Shen Ye no longer felt their presence.

“Safe now.”

He stated.

The voice of the Ship of Destruction turned rapid and urgent, carrying an unprecedented fear:

“Damn, this isn’t safe at all—didn’t you see them fleeing?”

“There must be something here even Augustus and its master feared.”

“How much longer can you hold?” Shen Ye asked.

“Three minutes—look, what’s that!” the Ship of Destruction responded.

Shen Ye gazed into the black water.

The mist was so thick earlier that nothing could be seen; now, with the tentacles withdrawn and the mist slightly dispersed, the contents of the river were clear.

Brains.

One after another, brains.

These brains bobbed along with the current, floating past both sides of the small wooden boat.

Standing on the wooden boat, Shen Ye watched this scene, feeling chills down his spine.

“Quick, think of a way, we must save ourselves—I have a feeling something is coming.”

The Ship of Destruction urged.

“Indeed.” Shen Ye agreed.

He pressed his hand in the void and uttered “Gate.”

The gate did not appear.

Instead, several lines of small glowing text appeared:

“You are too far from the Eternal and Truth worlds, unable to use the gate power of both worlds.”

“Currently, your ‘Gate of Spirit Communication’ is in bondage.”

“Cannot use.”

Cannot use!

Shen Ye felt a heavy weight in his heart and suddenly said:

“Do you have any other means?”

“I don’t! Surely you don’t have a solution either!” the Ship of Destruction was somewhat panicked.

“There is another way,” Shen Ye said.

Just now, when Augustus said “with your level of strength, you won’t last long,” that statement actually revealed basic intelligence.

“Won’t last long.”

Reversing the understanding of this phrase—

Though it won’t last long, it can indeed last.

What sustains it?

The Power of Destruction from the Ship of Destruction!

It said it couldn’t last long because of “this level of strength.”

So.

Destruction power stronger and higher than “this level of strength” might just “last long.”

Generally speaking.

We say, what’s higher than basic strength is an attribute.

Shen Ye looked up.

That attribute appeared instantly, still floating above him.

——”Duck down lost duck.”

The attribute of the Destruction Primordial Spirit!

Using this attribute allows sacrificing all hair for a chance to escape danger once.

Shen Ye hesitated slightly.

Did he really have to go bald?

The bald self…how would Charlotte see it?

Stop!

It’s not the time to think about this!

Suddenly.

An aurora flashed across Shen Ye’s brain, the one kept in the escape pod.

…Right.

I remember I have something else, lying above the basic level of strength.

It also contains powerful Destruction Source Power!

“Gate.”

Shen Ye uttered.

In an instant.

A door filled with the aura of destruction quietly appeared, hovering above the river.

The Endless Destruction Throne!

It worked.

This gate can be used!

Rumble—

The gate opened.

Shen Ye jumped into the gate, and in one motion retrieved the wooden boat from the water.

At this moment, he was already far from the Truth World.

Inside the gate were only three buildings.

Namely, the Pit Factory, Destruction Truth Cannon, and the Judicial Court.

The mecha in the factory no longer mined, instead forming a line.

The Truth Cannon was ready.

Inside the Judicial Court, bright lights shone, with faint sacred singing echoing.

“Take a rest.”

Shen Ye said.

The wooden boat made a sound: “The gate hasn’t been retracted yet.”

“Wait a moment.”

Shen Ye stretched his body.

After leaving the rapid, icy water, the strength within him gradually recovered.

But it wasn’t the time to hide now.

Because he was already far from both worlds of Eternal and Truth, his location unknown.

——He couldn’t hide forever!

He must go out and investigate the situation.

He pushed open the gate, his physique flashing as he swiftly flew out, following the river’s flow for a while, landing on a moss-covered rock by the riverside.

Only then did he dismiss the gate.
