Chapter 249: Man-made collapse? This is what it was originally like
Under the scarlet barrier, Janna raised her left hand and pressed her index and middle fingers in the direction of everyone... Soon, the black and yellow energy representing the power of space gathered at her fingertips, and then became majestic in a form visible to the naked eye, and soon the power of the Herrscher of the Void was fully reproduced.
Instantly, an extremely vast gravitational force appeared below everyone. Everyone was supported by their weapons and did not fall to the ground. However, given the current situation, counterattack was even more impossible.
"Honkai energy is being lost... This guy, she can forcibly requisition my power?"
"In this case……"
Thinking of this, Ling Feng also began to forcibly take back his power in the same way... Although he encountered some obstacles in the process, fortunately the result was good, and the power of the Herrscher of the Void was still on his side.
"Why bother struggling... I gave you a choice, are you not satisfied with my concession?"
"It's okay, we can discuss it until you are satisfied..." Janna suggested with a smile, while changing from her purple hair and red clothes fighting state to her normal blue hair state that had an aura very similar to that of a human.
"Then lift the barrier, otherwise we won't have anything to talk about."
Hearing this, Janna immediately made a subconscious move when thinking and lowered her head to start weighing the options. At this moment, she looked completely unprepared. Anyone who had experienced a few battles could see that this was a perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
However, Ling Feng, who also had vision, knew very well that in an environment with such high-density Honkai energy, it would be impossible to launch a sneak attack on a life form with life energy or low energy density as long as it was deliberately "marked" by the other party.
On the other side, after hearing Ling Feng's request, Kevin and the others quickly understood his idea. Although they were somewhat reluctant, they really couldn't help much at the moment.
"…Sorry, Ling Feng."
Facing Kevin and Alicia's expressions that showed they were fully aware of their powerlessness and were full of apology, Ling Feng really wanted to tell them, "This is not the enemy you should be facing now. The reason why things have developed to this point is because of 'free people' like me."
But when the words came to his lips, Ling Feng couldn't say them. After all, with their personalities, hearing such words would only make them complain more about their own powerlessness, and they might even think that Ling Feng didn't regard them as companions at all.
So in the end, Ling Feng just turned around, made a gesture to keep quiet, and spoke softly.
"It's okay. You have more important things to do... But next time we meet, I may have to rely on you."
…………
After some consideration, Janna raised her head and used the traction to pull Ling Feng towards her while speaking.
"Well~ I can't do it, but I can give in."
"...How are you going to give in?" Ling Feng asked while resisting this pulling force.
Janna did not answer Ling Feng, but waved her hand lightly, shrinking the entire semicircular barrier again and again until only the two of them were left inside the barrier.
However, until now, the radius of this spherical barrier is still nearly 500 meters, and the concentration of Honkai energy in the air is even higher, obviously it has been compressed again due to the reduction of space.
But for Ling Feng, this is a good thing. To him, Honkai energy is the most utilized energy besides human life energy. With the help of energy of this density, even if Janna suddenly turns against him, it will take a lot of time to kill him completely.
"Now, are you satisfied?"
"What are you going to do? Why are you doing this?"
Hearing Ling Feng's question, Janna could only explain again.
"Didn't I tell you this? We are both 'wanderers', discarded pieces thrown out of the game by the gods at random, and I just want to use your ability to get back into the chessboard."
"Heh~ Even though you are so powerful, you just want to go back to the 'chess basket' and continue to be a chess piece? I thought you would say that you want to overturn this ridiculous game."
Hearing this, Janna just smiled and said nothing. Perhaps to her, overturning the chess game was meaningless. Or, even if she was as powerful as she was, facing the real "chess player", she would be nothing more than a speck in the vast ocean.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng stopped thinking about these meaningless questions and instead directly asked the other party what he thought.
"What are you going to do?"
"Get your power, find the coordinates of the world bubble I used to be in, invade the tree of imaginary numbers, and then go back there. It's that simple."
"...Simple? But this has no direct relationship with my power, right?" Ling Feng asked puzzled.
"Modifying reality comes with a corresponding punishment mechanism. Severe tampering will cost more than just one's life. Going from one world bubble to another is not a serious transgression, but the process is still dangerous. Your power is a means for me to protect myself."
"After all, nothing can make people feel more at ease in an environment full of various energies than having the power to 'control all energies'."
"Okay... since it's a deal, what will you give me? After losing my power, I need something else that can change the world. If I don't have it..."
“Isn’t it enough to let you live?” Janna interrupted.
"..."
Hearing this, Ling Feng's face suddenly darkened. It was obvious that he was quite dissatisfied with this answer.
"Before you, no one would negotiate with me. This is already a concession from me."
Listening to the other party's arrogant words, Ling Feng said no more. He placed his left hand on the Hibernation of All Things, quickly took out the Herrscher Core embedded in it, and swallowed it without hesitation.
The next moment, Ling Feng's right hand pierced into his left chest like a scalpel. With the sound of muscle tissue being crushed, the blood hole in Ling Feng's left chest continuously gushed out purple-red blood like a fountain. After just a dozen seconds, his face turned pale, as if he was about to die.
However, all of this only occurred after Ling Feng intentionally suppressed his abilities, otherwise this kind of injury would not have killed him.
At first, Janna was still very confused about Ling Feng's behavior, but not long after, she understood the reason.
Ling Feng is unable to undergo complete beast transformation on his own, and his near-death state will forcibly summon the "real him".
Black scales and keratin quickly covered Ling Feng's entire body, making his figure quickly grow taller. In addition, he had devil-like horns, snake-like scales all over his body, a thick and powerful tail extending from the tailbone, and six hard, tentacle-like spikes on his back. Just from these revealed features, even people who were very familiar with fusion experiments could not guess what kind of Honkai beast he had fused with.
However, it is obvious that this Honkai beast with blue vertical-striped pupils is definitely very dangerous at this moment.
But in Jana's eyes, Ling Feng's current condition is still quite different from what she imagined.
"Is this your complete self? It looks... a little tiny, hehe~" Janna said with disdain as she stared at the five-meter-tall Honkai beast in front of her.
