"Ceramic Domain..."

"Descend!"

As soon as Wenren Yi finished speaking, the scene around them drastically changed!

The brick and tile fortress, which had a distinctly ancient style, transformed in the blink of an eye, its texture shifting to a glossy ceramic finish.

Not only that!

The air itself seemed to be filled with shimmering, crystalline powder.

Zhou Zhe raised an eyebrow and flicked his finger, releasing a bolt of electricity before his eyes.

The arc twisted and writhed in the air, as if enveloped by an invisible force, before gradually dissipating.

"Power of Thunder isn't suitable for this environment."

"This material..."

"It's not ordinary ceramic."

Considering factors like resistivity, relative dielectric constant, loss tangent, thermal expansion coefficient, deformation degree, thermal shock resistance, thermal conductivity, and dielectric strength, Zhou Zhe felt that the environmental-altering ultimate weapon deployed by his opponent used an insulating material whose electrical resistance far surpassed that of special rubber.

Moreover...

This wasn't ordinary insulation.

The so-called Ceramic Domain operated on principles similar to magnesium olivine porcelain, widely used in electro-vacuum ceramics, but its material properties were vastly superior.

Zhou Zhe smiled gently, his demeanor calm and his tone casual, "Where did you get this thing?"

"I always felt you had a bit of a miserly streak; you don't seem like someone who'd spend money on something like this."

Wenren Yi appeared to be preparing a major attack. The flying swords orbiting her stopped their rotation and hovered in front of her sternum, aligned with the acupoint Danzhong. Pale purple spiritual energy flowed around them, accompanied by a chilling mist, as they continuously accumulated destructive power.

She replied curtly and coldly, "From the Sigma Civilization, Senior Silver Gladiator Hansenelton."

"He's helping me because you killed his son, the Super Horned Demon."

Why did Wenren Yi know the coordinates of Lin Ye's remains?

Why did Wenren Yi arrive at the Kindling World two days in advance?

Now...

The case was solved.

It was that simple.

When facing a straightforward opponent with a clear bottom line, the effect of the [Museum Destroyer] title could be extremely potent.

"Roxstar's old man, huh..."

Zhou Zhe adopted an "as expected" expression and shook his head. "Persistent fellow. My enemies are indeed the ones who pay the most attention to me."

"Speaking of which, if he's so rich, why didn't he just resurrect his son? Why all this elaborate fuss..."

Hearing this, Wenren Yi looked at Zhou Zhe with a complex expression, as if contemplating something.

A moment later, a look of determination crossed her face. "I apologize!"

"Perhaps you're different from me; you don't have a trump card for resurrection."

"Perhaps you also bear certain responsibilities, and you have loved ones, partners, and friends."

"But..."

"For victory, I'm willing to resort to any means!"

"Even if I have to dirty my hands, even if I have to tarnish my Dao heart, it matters not!"

"Senior Hansenelton, please guard me!"

With that, Wenren Yi tossed out a small, shimmering bronze sword, about three centimeters long, with a metallic sheen. It looked like an ornament.

But this seemingly comical "little toy," the moment it left her hand, grew with the wind, its size rapidly expanding!

From a bronze ornament, it transformed into a humanoid shape in the blink of an eye.

Fifteen centimeters...

Eighty centimeters...

One meter...

Two meters...

Five meters!

Though it sounds complex, the transformation of the bronze sword into a giant puppet actually took only half a second.

As soon as the massive bronze puppet appeared, it cast a shadow over Zhou Zhe.

It had no facial features, yet it emitted a voice that Zhou Zhe found familiar: "We meet again, sharp-tongued Earthling!"

As it spoke, its form flashed, instantly appearing before Zhou Zhe and stomping down with force!

Boom!

Dust flew everywhere!

The entire palace shook as if the world was spinning, and the surrounding light dimmed considerably.

The speed and strength of this bronze puppet were incredibly formidable, seemingly without any flaws!

However…

The powerful, heavy assault had no effect.

A burst of flame erupted from Zhou Zhe, the recoil directly pushing him out of the attack's range.

"Mr. Hansenelton, you should have heard what I just said."

While gliding through the air, Zhou Zhe even had the energy to disrupt the opponent's mind: "Also, are you not afraid of being erased by the 'Dao' for attacking me?"

A muffled groan came from within the bronze puppet: "If I can revive Roxstar, I'll do it even if it means losing everything I own, but... his soul crystal is in... Bashar's hands!"

"And..."

"I didn't attack you directly! This is just a puppet prop!"

"I won't even seriously injure you!"

"I will only deplete your energy, allowing Wenren Yi to kill you!"

"Your death has nothing to do with me!"

Because Hansenelton's soul was attached to the bronze puppet, no emotional changes could be seen, but his tone clearly became more ferocious.

It stomped on the ground, its attacks coming wave after wave, like rolling tides, never ceasing.

"If you have the guts, don't dodge."

"Guess whether what I just said is true or not?"

"Am I really afraid to seriously injure you?"

"Come on! Try it!"

"If you're not sure, then obediently use your full strength and reveal all your trump cards."

"Like that burst of flame just now!"

"Hahaha!"

Another one gone mad.

Zhou Zhe sighed inwardly. Flames erupted around him as he continuously dodged the opponent's attacks: "I'm not stupid. Your confidence makes the answer obvious."

"It's not as satisfying to have someone else get revenge for you as it is to get it yourself, right?"

"I didn't expect there to be a dummy body trick..."

"Learned something new."

"But please rest assured! Without your main body appearing, you won't be able to kill me."

Hearing this, Hansenelton was almost driven mad, his roar deafening: "To kill you, I didn't hesitate to redeem the Pale Toxin, permanently reducing my cellular activity and nerve reaction speed, lowering my power evaluation to Silver One-star!"

"I paid such a huge price, do you think you can escape?"

Zhou Zhe fell silent.

What else could he say?

The title [Museum Destroyer] was awesome!

Just a few taunts, and the opponent readily handed over the information for free.

The Brainless Aura was truly flashy!

However…

The [Museum Destroyer] title only temporarily reduced the enemy's intelligence by ten percent, not turning them into complete idiots. The fact that the opponent couldn't react immediately was due to a minor malfunction in their own hardware.

Given enough time, they would still react.

Especially an old hand like Hansenelton, who had been through many battles and had an extremely fast reaction speed.

"What did you do to me? Why would I tell you this?"

The bronze puppet's attacks didn't stop, but it asked: "The Wizarding World's [Truth Serum Mist]?"

"The Lv3 superpower from the Psychic World, [Inevitable Honesty]?"

"The Immortal Path World's [Tongue-Twisting Divine Ability]?"

"Or the Grotesque World's [Weird Domain Field]?"

"No! None of them fit!"

"Damn you! Are you just going to run? If you have the guts, don't leave, stand here, don't move, and let me kill you!"

"Otherwise, I'll kill Zhou Yulin immediately!"

Zhou Zhe's eyelids drooped slightly.

[Self-Configuration], Actor Mode, activate!

"Kill me if you want,"

Despite Zhou Zhe's expressionless face and calm tone, his thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes held a mix of two parts luck, three parts bitterness, and five parts heartache…

Whoosh!

See you tomorrow noon!

Mm!
