Chapter 259
After thinking it over, I finally decided to give up.
While He certainly desired World Bubble with powerful energy, even an agent of that level died silently, so sending others would likely have resulted in the same fate.
As for Him personally taking action, the energy lost might be greater than the energy gained, making it even less worthwhile.
Saha loves to reap rewards, but conversely, He feels reluctant to expend energy each time. Therefore, He prefers to prevent unnecessary expenditures rather than uncertain gains.
It's better that he's dead, so I won't have to see that childish face and be reminded of that hateful past.
With this thought in mind, Suo closed her eyes again.
But not long after, she regained her senses, and a surge of anger filled her mind.
What happened? Why did a ranch suddenly go out of control?
In order to better harvest energy, Sa will also implant his power into certain World Bubble with certain potential, so that they can burst out with enormous energy after slow growth.
Although this operation requires a long wait to yield results, it only consumes a very small portion of power. The only cost is the implantation of authority, requiring the dispatch of agents to conduct regular inspections.
Furthermore, the power of authority can be recycled after the pasture is harvested and then invested in the next pasture, making it extremely profitable. Therefore, it has become the method that Sa currently prefers to use.
Based on this characteristic of raising livestock before harvesting, He named this World Bubble a pasture—but now, the pasture is gone, and He has also lost the power He used to graze. How could He not be angry?
Compared to the lack of power, the ranch's problems are minor!
After all, the power of authority cannot be regenerated. If the stolen power cannot be recovered, even if the power continues to grow, it will still be lacking. Such a thing is something that Sa cannot tolerate.
Fortunately, the agent from the ranch managed to escape and return, which gave Suo the opportunity to learn the truth.
Soon, its anger level rose again.
Because the message sent back from the agent showed that among the group of strangers who participated in the destruction of the ranch and the plunder of power, there was none other than the agent whom He had just judged to be dead!
The agent who now uses the name she abandoned, calling herself "Vita"—she didn't die, but chose to betray!
This act was clearly a provocation and a defilement of His majesty!
If you can tolerate even this kind of thing, then you might as well change your name to "Shrink" or "Coward" or something like that.
Sorrow barely managed to suppress his anger, and then began to sense the location of that power.
The Sea of Quantum is chaotic and disordered for most living beings, but it is not so for Saha.
Because what He possesses at this moment is the power that is called "omniscient and omnipotent," even if it is not truly omniscient and omnipotent, it is more than enough to sense a part of Himself.
Although they were very far apart, He could still sense the other party's movements—the power was moving rapidly in the Sea of Quantum, seemingly intending to escape.
And Su immediately understood the other party's intention.
There is no hiding place for the other party in the Sea of Quantum, because His eyes, ears and henchmen are everywhere. So if you want to escape, you can only find a way to enter the world of real numbers.
After all, given its current size, it would be almost impossible for Sa to enter the real world unless He is willing to make some sacrifices and trade-offs. Otherwise, He can only try to stop the other party and leave this matter to be resolved in the Sea of Quantum.
With that thought, So no longer hesitated. His enormous figure gradually solidified from the Sea of Quantum, and then transformed into a giant wave that swept across the heavens and the earth, surging toward the direction where Vita had fled.
There are many doubts about this matter. For example, what kind of confidence did Vita have that made her dare to seize His power?
Not to mention, the fact that the other party was able to break free from their own constraints and fake their death is itself very suspicious.
Through these questions, even without using the power of the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence, one can guess that there must be some kind of conspiracy or even trap behind it.
But none of that matters, because Sa doesn't believe that a mere agent could possibly have any way to deal with Him.
"So, do we really have to deal with Him like this?"
On the other side of the Sea of Quantum, Vita moved along, glancing to her side. "Just the few of us?"
Standing beside her were not Ai Yue, but several strangers whom Ai Yue had just introduced to her.
The strongest among them Kevin, a calm yet cheerful married man. The power emanating from him made Vita subconsciously feel fear, clearly indicating that his strength was unfathomable.
As for the others, Vita hasn't had a chance to learn more about them yet because they are somewhat weaker.
But if these are the only people, it is clearly not enough to fight against Saha.
Thinking of this, Vita's smile became somewhat stiff.
She suddenly regretted being so ruthless. Or rather, if she had known that Ai Yue didn't intend to take action himself, she should have used the time after the restraints were lifted to make a proper plan.
Instead of rashly alarming Saha as we are now, and then relying on the people in front of us to find a way to defeat the other side.
If this lineup were in the real world, it might not be without a fighting chance, but this is the Sea of Quantum, the enemy's base that they have been building for a long time. They can even unleash 150% of their power here. How can we fight against them?
"Don't worry too much,"
Kevin noticed Vita's unease and replied, "Since Ai Yue has made these arrangements, there won't be any problems. We just need to follow them."
"You really trust him, don't you?"
Vita immediately sensed the unwavering trust in the other person's tone and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Could it be that he's actually very capable?"
"Miss Vita should have her own judgment on this matter, right?"
The person next to him picked up the conversation and calmly replied, "After all, if you didn't believe in Ai Yue's abilities, you wouldn't have made this decision, would you?"
Why does your voice sound so barbed?
Vita looked at the long-haired man who was speaking and subconsciously frowned.
This person, I think his name is... Su?
For some reason, she always felt that there was a kind of unfriendly aura coming from the other person.
That doesn't make sense. Wasn't I sincere enough?
"After all, Miss Vita has only met Ai Yue a few times, so it's normal for her to have such doubts."
Kevin seemed to notice his friend's strange mood and quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "In short, there's no need to worry too much. Even if we really fail, we have backup plans, don't we?"
Vita blinked, but ultimately decided to remain silent.
After all, Kevin's words made sense, because before Ai Yue left, he upgraded her peacock tail feather hair clip, telling her that if she really encountered danger, she could use the hair clip to escape to the real world.
In this way, as long as he doesn't intentionally kill himself, he probably won't have to worry about Sa's revenge for the rest of his life.
Vita is only seeking survival, then this solution is sufficient.
But what she needed was freedom—freedom from the threat of suffering.
Therefore, this level is far from enough.
It seems we can't count on this group; we'll have to think of another way.
Is Ai Yue hesitant to take action himself because he has concerns, or is he simply unwilling? Is there any way to force him to do it himself?
Vita when she suddenly noticed that the woman who had been walking at the front of the group and had been silent all along had stopped.
The woman, dressed as a nun with her eyes closed, turned around and looked towards the distant other side.
"A very powerful aura is approaching,"
The other party finally spoke their first words since they met, "So this is what you call, Sa?"
Chapter Twenty-Two: Keep it up, you gluttonous old lady!
"They arrived so quickly?"
Upon hearing the news, everyone remained calm, except for Vita, who showed a somewhat flustered expression.
After all, among everyone present, she was the only one who truly understood the other party, and only she knew just how powerful Sa's power was.
Now, this enormous being, filled with boundless rage, is attacking her, while her supposed greatest backer shows no sign of showing up.
Now they're facing certain death.
Vita gave a helpless, bitter smile and began to reflect on why she had so easily boarded Ai Yue's pirate ship.
However, compared to Vita's pessimism, Kevin and the others remained very calm. The moment Aponia issued the warning, Kevin immediately reacted. "Then, let's lead Him to the designated location as planned."
The first step in the battle plan devised by Kevin and his team was to find a suitable battlefield.
After all, in the Sea of Quantum, once they unleash their power, it will create ripples, leading to them being besieged by Quantum Monster. Therefore, the current group is in disguise, and only mental ability users like Sue and Aponia can use their power.
Therefore, they need to bring Sa into the World Bubble in order to wage war.
"You have no idea about the power of Sa. He can easily tear apart the World Bubble, but he just doesn't want to do it on a regular basis."
Vita sighed, "If we don't want to fight Him in the Sea of Quantum, the best way is to return to the Real World, where we can limit His power."
"We will make our own decision on this matter, Miss Vita."
Kevin glanced at her sideways, his tone noticeably colder after entering battle mode. "If we go directly into the Real World, will He definitely come after us?"
"Don't worry, Miss Vita."
Compared to Kevin, Aponia's tone was gentler, "You're too flustered right now, so you're overlooking a lot of details. Please calm down, things aren't as bad as you think."
As they were talking, Sue opened a door to the World Bubble and went in first. Kevin and Aponia followed suit. Vita hesitated for a moment outside the door, but finally gritted her teeth and followed.
In the end, she chose to trust her own judgment—that the person who called himself Ai Yue could not possibly be such an irresponsible person, otherwise he would not have gained such sincere support from these people.
If all of this was a facade... it doesn't make sense. How could someone of that rank do something like this just for someone as insignificant as me?
Thinking about this, Vita suddenly showed a thoughtful expression.
If all of this was done intentionally by Ai Yue, could it be that he was telling her in this way that she had to make a choice?
She couldn't help but recall that scene from before.
After the agreement was reached, Ai Yue kept his promise and removed the restraints that Suo had placed on her.
The other party didn't even make any extra movements, just reached out and touched his forehead. The threat that had been hanging over him like a dark cloud for so long simply dissipated.
The whole process was so fast that Vita didn't even have time to react.
But after doing this step, Ai Yue withdrew his hand and did not apply new restraints to Vita as he had said before.
"That way, you'll be free."
In response to Vita's doubts, Ai Yue casually said, "How you use this life is up to you. If you really decide to work for me later, we can discuss the terms then."
After saying this, the other party disappeared, leaving only himself, Kevin, and the others to carry out the operation of destroying the ranch and seizing the power of the Suo.
However, Vita's thoughts didn't last long, because the moment she passed through the Teleportation Gate, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
This World Bubble is completely different from any of the World Bubble she has visited before!
As Sa's agent, Vita has carried out countless missions for Him and has naturally seen all sorts of World Bubble.
Some of them have just fallen from the Imaginary Tree and are still intact, while others have been drifting in the Sea of Quantum for some time and are already broken and undulating with the ripples of the sea. Still others have long since become dregs and are falling towards the seabed, where they will soon become a complete part of the Sea of Quantum.
But regardless of the type of World Bubble, they all have one thing in common—that is, their underlying rules are broken, so their structure has long lost its stability. Even World Bubble that has just fallen into the sea will quickly fall apart if it is targeted by a powerful force.
This is why Vita said that Sa could easily tear apart the World Bubble —as a glutton who specializes in devouring World Bubble, Sa has incredibly rich experience in dealing with them. He can easily find structural gaps in the World Bubble and use them to dismantle and destroy it.
Kevin and his team's idea was to lure the other party into the cage, but the World Bubble could not trap So.
But this World Bubble is completely different—its underlying rules are complete!
It's important to understand that Vita's ability to freely enter and exit the World Bubble stems from her ability to find the weak point between the World Bubble and the Sea of Quantum. By attacking that weak point, she can open a temporary entrance or exit.
Out of her cautious nature, she would always look for weaknesses in each World Bubble to leave herself an escape route—but here, she couldn't find any place to open a passage.
Even after Vita entered, she felt that her connection with the Sea of Quantum had been completely severed, which meant that the underlying rules of this World Bubble were not only complete, but also extremely solid.
If ordinary World Bubble are like the wreckage of ships, differing only in size and completeness, then this World Bubble is a complete and sturdy warship, its purpose being to navigate the Sea of Quantum.
The attack from the ship might be able to destroy those already crumbling wrecks, but against a warship with no weaknesses to be found, the effect would be greatly reduced.
More importantly, the characteristics of this World Bubble are not visible from the outside; one can only realize its special nature after entering it.
Vita's face showed barely concealed astonishment, then she looked at Aponia beside her. "You created this?"
Such World Bubble cannot exist in the Sea of Quantum, because a world with complete underlying rules would never become World Bubble, much less fall into the Sea of Quantum.
The only possibility that it appeared here is that someone did it on purpose.
"It seems you've already realized that."
Aponia smiled and nodded. "Yes, this was also Ai Yue's doing—how about that, can you feel a little more at ease now?"
Was it really manufactured? Is this really something that can be done?
Perhaps only a true god could accomplish such a thing.
Vita let out a long breath, and a slight smile finally appeared on her face.
