233: Chapter 233 They wiped it all out in one go?

These high-dimensional Vanguards, hailed as invincible, were now like computer programs infected by a fatal Trojan horse. One after another, they crashed in mid-air, distorted, and finally self-destructed and disintegrated!

"Holy shit... they were all instantly killed just like that?!"

Below, Li Murou and Su Xiaoxiao, who had been prepared for a fight to the death, watched the high-dimensional creatures exploding in the sky like a succession of fireworks, each of them stunned like wooden chickens.

In less than half a minute.

The high-dimensional Vanguard that had blotted out the sky was completely wiped out under the infection of Chen Xi's unreasonable "card virus"!

In the sky, only fluttering blue energy light spots remained, falling like a beautiful meteor shower.

Chen Xi landed lightly from mid-air, tucked the [high-dimensional data core] card into his pocket, and a calm, composed smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems these so-called alien deities are nothing more than this."

However, before Chen Xi's voice could fade.

"Buzzing————!!!!"

A violent spatial oscillation, a thousand times—ten thousand times—more terrifying than all previous attacks combined, suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the Extreme North Ice Field!

The massive, thousand-meter-tall [star gate] that had been standing in the center of the glacier seemed to sense the destruction of the Vanguard at this moment, emitting a terrifying roar like an ancient evil beast awakening!

The glaciers were shattering crazily, and the earth was wailing in pain.

The temperature of the entire Extreme North Ice Field plummeted in an instant to an Absolute Zero capable of freezing the soul!

"What's going on?!" The smile on Chen Xi's face vanished instantly as he snapped his head toward the star gate.

In the center of that massive star gate, the originally blue vortex suddenly turned into an absolute, deep black.

Then, under the horrified gazes of everyone.

An indescribably massive, grayish-white bone claw—a single finger of which was comparable to a mountain—slowly emerged from that deep black star gate vortex...

It reached out!!!

A world-ending pressure that truly belonged to a [Deity], making it impossible to even conceive the thought of resistance, smashed down upon the souls of everyone present like a hundred thousand mountains!

"Their... their true original bodies are coming through!!!"

"Crack crack crack crack——!!!"

As that grayish-white bone claw that blotted out the sky reached out from the star gate vortex, the surrounding void seemed unable to withstand the descent of such a terrifying existence, emitting dense, tooth-aching sounds like shattering glass. Pitch-black spatial rifts, each hundreds of meters long, spread frantically outward from the star gate, swallowing the swirling snow and light.

Despair. This was a sense of despair so pure it contained no impurities.

Even Lin Shan, who had just endured thirty Dimensional Reduction Rays, found his rock-solid legs trembling uncontrollably when faced with just a sliver of the "Deity's" aura leaking from the crack in the door. His kneecaps let out a strained wail, as if an invisible giant hand was pressing down on his head, forcing him to kneel and submit to this unspeakable, terrifying existence!

"Ugh... so cold... my soul feels like it's about to be frozen stiff..."

Li Murou clutched her chest in pain. The powerful mental strength of an SS-grade [Time Reverse Sonant] was as fragile as a candle in the wind before this pressure. She didn't just feel the extreme cold in a physical sense; she even felt the "time" within her body being forcibly slowed and stripped away by this power!

"Everyone, gather together! Don't look at that claw!"

Veins bulged on Chen Xi's forehead. He pushed against the pressure that could crush an ordinary Professional into bloody mist and pulled Li Murou behind him.

The enhancement from [Miracle: Sublimation] allowed him to barely remain standing, but Chen Xi knew better than anyone that once this star gate fully opened and that behemoth behind the door stepped through—even just half its body—the entire Earth would be flattened in an instant!

This was dimensional suppression! This wasn't a gap that could be bridged by cards and techniques; it was like a person drawn on a two-dimensional sheet of paper who could never fight against a real human in a three-dimensional world tearing the paper apart!

"Damn it! We can't let it come through!"

Su Xiaoxiao bit the tip of her tongue, using the sharp pain to force herself to stay conscious. She raised her staff high, void lightning surging wildly around her as she tried to gather a final ultimate move to strike the bone claw, only to discover in despair that her proud [Void Thunder Punishment] silently extinguished when it got within a hundred meters of the claw!

It was like a match being thrown into a vast ocean, unable to stir even a single ripple.

"It's useless. That's a projection of a true high-dimensional creature; our laws are ineffective against it!"

Chen Xi pushed down Su Xiaoxiao's staff, his eyes bloodshot as he stared fixedly at the violently expanding star gate. His brain was working frantically, trying to find even the slightest sliver of a chance for survival.

"Could it be... that I'm going to die here right after getting the Tower of Heaven?!" Chen Xi clenched his teeth, extremely unwilling.

At this critical moment, just as that grayish-white bone claw was about to fully pry open the star gate and push another even more terrifying head through!

"Zheng——!!!"

A clear sword cry, like a dragon's roar, erupted without warning from the void behind Chen Xi and the others!

Then, a [Spacetime Rift Slash] hundreds of feet long, displaying an eerie weave of grayish-white and pitch-black, emerged from the void with a supreme sharpness that could sever the years. It slashed ruthlessly onto the massive bone claw protruding from the star gate!

"Clang——Boom!!!"

This earth-shattering strike, capable of cutting the entire Extreme North Ice Field in half, actually produced a metallic clanging sound like a giant bell when it hit the bone claw. Although it failed to sever the claw, the impact—laden with the ultimate laws of spacetime—forcibly shook the claw back by half an inch!

"Roar——?!"

From behind the star gate came a low, divine sound filled with anger and disbelief. It seemed that high-dimensional existence hadn't expected that on this low-dimensional, barren planet, there was actually someone who could harm its projection!

"Who?!" Chen Xi and the others turned around sharply.

"Phew... you brats really cause a mess wherever you go! This time, you've even poked a hole in the sky!"

A familiar voice, tinged with a bit of teasing and a bit of relief, came from the void where the sword light had just flown out.

Space rippled like water, and two slender figures slowly stepped out of the void, blocking the path in front of the Nirvana Battle Team.

The leader was a man in a black trench coat, wearing a pitch-black eyepatch over his left eye. But in his remaining right eye, a brilliant light like the sun was burning. His right hand still held a sword-swinging posture, and before him, gears condensed from pure spacetime laws were spinning rapidly!

Behind him, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses pushed the lenses on the bridge of his nose. Though he was drenched in sweat, a refined smile still hung at the corner of his mouth.
