Detonation

Within the [Instance], the "Diviner," as the creator of this [Instance], set up Formation that almost covered the entire replica of Shenzhen, so...

Almost instantly, he located Lin Yu, Gu Mo, and Jian Cunyi.

However, while suspended in mid-air, the Diviner did not immediately set off to give chase.

Even with the God of Shadows and the "Emperor" behind him, the Diviner still chose to... observe.

Because of the new place where those three people have appeared...

It is located in the very center of Shenzhen.

There, you'll find not only members of the "Freedom Alliance," but also "Swordsman" and "Bifang"...

Moreover, almost all the remaining "Order" and "Night Watcher" Player in the entire Shenzhen are converging in this direction.

Aren't you going to pursue it?

The emperor looked at the Diviner and asked.

The Diviner shook his head. "Let's see... That place makes me too uneasy. I don't know what the 'God of Games and Rules' is plotting."

The emperor frowned. "She... is not very capable of planning, you don't need to worry too much about her schemes."

"I don't know how you viewed her in the Previous Version, but I only trust my intuition," the Diviner said, gazing down at the simple, Shenzhen and the Formation. "This is my first time facing the God of Games and Rules, and I sense she is dangerous and intelligent, far exceeding her previous abilities—don't you feel it?"

The emperor remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "I... feel the same way."

"Therefore, I have some suspicions that perhaps the one confronting you is not the 'God of Games and Rules,' nor 'Nine Waters,' but some fellow disguised as her... Compared to 'Nine Waters,' she seems more like another old acquaintance of mine."

The Diviner looked at the emperor. "Which one?"

"That one."

The emperor said calmly.

The Diviner pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's prepare for the worst. If it really is your 'old friend,' then we should..."

The emperor said, "Now you should immediately detonate all the Magic Array you've set up here, and then run as far away as you can."

The Diviner sighed, "That's true... but since we're still able to stand here and chat, it means it's not her."

The Emperor spoke up, "I also believe that perhaps she left some kind of revelation for 'Nine Waters'... If she could have foreseen what would happen today, I am not surprised."

"Is this why you're so cautious? Even if those mortals below have nothing to fear..."

The Diviner nodded. "Yes, and... the place they're heading to has a 'passage' connecting the Ten Realms that has gone out of control."

"I lost control of one of the channels—I don't know who did it or when, but it's not a good sign."

The emperor frowned. "You mean, someone will summon helpers in the same way you did? That this can bypass the 'Wall of Rules' and summon other Deity?"

The Diviner shook his head. "While a single passage may not be enough to summon Deity assistance, or even for Demigod... it is enough to create some 'variables'."

"After all, besides 'helpers'... energy can also be obtained through..."

"But it doesn't matter, no matter what the 'variables' are—they will ultimately not affect our ultimate goal."

"No one can possibly crack everything I've painstakingly planned..."

"This space is bound to collapse!"

This is it.

Lin Yu, Gu Mo, and Jian Cunyi landed on the top of a high-rise building in the center of Shenzhen.

Here, the battlefield between "Xia Ke" (Swordsman), "Bifang" (毕方), and "Freedom Alliance" (自由联盟) has just ended.

Although the place was in ruins, the figure of the Demon Ancestor Gantuo had also disappeared.

Looking at the varying degrees of injuries sustained here, especially the members of the "Freedom Alliance," and sensing the lingering Heaven and Earth Malice on them, Gu Mo knew that a similarly fierce and bitter battle had taken place here.

So, after thinking for a moment, Gu Mo decided to pretend she didn't see the "Freedom Alliance" members and instead looked at "Swordsman" and "Bifang".

"Where is the Demon Ancestor?"

The Swordsman exhaled and pointed to the surging passage from which the Demon Ancestor had crawled out.

Now, the Evil of Heaven and Earth seemed to have solidified into something tangible, constantly emanating low roars and angry curses like muffled thunder.

"He was temporarily sent back and suppressed... using the original seal on Him from the Prison Mountain Realm, as well as some 'Inventor' devices."

Swordsman spoke, Bifang nodded.

"Thanks to the 'Freedom Alliance'... well, most importantly, to Comrade 'Administrator' for his help."

Meanwhile, Jian Cunyi greeted the people from the "Freedom Alliance".

"It's been a long time, everyone... Brother Wu, Brother Shen, how have you been?"

Old Wu rubbed his bald head and said, "I'm alright... but is this the time to talk about these things?"

Qianhuan said helplessly, "Why are you making it sound like we bumped into each other on the street?"

Jian Cunyi nodded. "That's true... Let's exchange pleasantries another time."

As he spoke, Jian Cunyi turned to look at Lin Yu.

"Administrator, I have marked the energy flow of all the 'Formation' in the Prison Mountain Realm..."

Lin Yu nodded.

"I've seen it, thank you... these are crucial."

Jian Cunyi looked at Lin Yu and asked, "These Magic Array are intricately linked and incredibly complex. Moreover, the Magic Array related to the Prison Mountain Realm only account for about one-third of the total. Are these really enough to break it?"

Lin Yu shook his head.

"Of course I don't want to... crack it."

Lin Yu said in a low voice, "I'm going to detonate it."

Before Lin Yu Jian Cunyi and anyone else could react, Lin Yu used the power of "Rule" and "information" to inject energy into the key node of the Formation's energy flow that Jian Cunyi had marked.

Moment...

Just as Lin Yu said, these Formation, which were originally still "activating," were detonated prematurely due to the assistance of external forces!

"Defusing a bomb" is never the only way to eliminate a threat. Many times, if you encounter an explosive device that cannot be defused, the best way is... to evacuate the crowd and then detonate it!

This is why Lin Yu is having all the "Player" gather here at this moment.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Within this [Instance] city, this replicated Shenzhen, one Formation after another is detonated, starting from the outer perimeter.

Skyscrapers collapsed, Street churned, and the energy accumulated in the Magic Array surged out, subsequently triggering the chaotic energy of the Ten Realms contained within those passages and those "Reality Loophole," which also detonated the chaotic energy that already permeated the air in this [Instance].

Since the "channel" is essentially a loophole in the world's barrier, and given that the space where this [Instance] is located is inherently unstable, being a temporary space erected at the intersection of various realms...

Therefore, once the "passage" began to collapse, the spatial structure here also began to collapse and be destroyed!

The world where those Instance occurred is gradually returning to nothingness, to a state of chaos where "nothing exists," from the outside in.

Nothing can survive in such nothingness.

This is the "Diviner's " true trump card and source of confidence—surviving such a high-level energy explosion capable of destroying spatial structures is already a pipe dream.

Even if someone were lucky enough to manage to do so and withstand the cascading explosions, each one possessing the energy level of Deity's Full Power Strike attack, they still couldn't survive in the void.

This is a deadly trap with no solution.

What Lin Yu is doing now is creating a "sliver of hope" within these ten minutes.

Because these explosions were destined to happen simultaneously.

But now, under Lin Yu's guidance and intervention... these explosions started from the outermost perimeter.

The entire [Instance] space, this city, began to collapse in concentric circles.

This gave the "Player" some breathing room.

The Diviner also understood this.

He didn't go down immediately because he was wary of being plotted against by the "God of Games and Rules".

But now...

The Diviner didn't go down because he felt it was unnecessary.

"So this is your plan?" the Hacker. "... I really did misjudge you!"

"What else can this self-destructive method do besides delaying the death of these 'Player'?"

Are you giving them... a chance to watch themselves die and fall into despair?

The Diviner said sarcastically.

Behind him, the God of Shadows also spoke with a smile.

"Oh dear, it sounds like there's a lot of pain to reap... Is this your way of befriending me, Second Generation God of Game?"

Lin Yu looked at the two of them and spoke coldly.

"Fool," the Diviner... didn't you realize that with the segmented, delayed explosion, the chaotic energy in this [Instance] world will decrease over time, and the explosion level will weaken. By the time the Formation in the central area is detonated, according to my estimation, the explosion energy level will have decreased by at least 80%."

The Diviner exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, yes, but 20%... is enough."

"The key point is that all the space here will be destroyed and collapsed. Although the explosive power will only be 20% of what it was before, the spatial structure will be reduced to its last remnant... In the end, it will still collapse."

"What, you think you can stop all of this?"

Lin Yu said in a low voice, "The power has been reduced to 20%, why can't I try to stop it?"

The Diviner narrowed his eyes. "Hacker, I'm really a little disappointed in you... Didn't you even realize it after you detonated yourself...?"

Lin Yu interrupted him, "You mean the 'explosion' didn't happen inside the [Instance], but outside the space where this [Instance] is located...? I already realized that before Jian Cunyi marked the energy flow."

"But you... really thought that when I called on the 'Beast Master' from the 'Freedom Alliance' for help, I was just summoning the 'God of Desire'?"

From the "Reality Loophole" below, a passage connecting the Ten Realms, came a deep, magnetic voice.

"Administrator... are you serious?"

Lin Yu said, "Yes, that's right... Comrade Tengshe, only you can do this here."

"Please... for the safety of the hundreds of 'Player' here, the millions in Shenzhen, and even the entire Real World..."

"Stop this explosion!"
