The Great World had records of Du Gang, knowing that the other party had reserved attempts, but Zheng Yichen did not, ah. A Proxy Agent of a newcor king without corresponding reserved attempts—who else would they target if not this guy?
On the Dusk side, there was no protection for newcors. The Great World had always been looking for opportunities to kill Zheng Yichen but they were unable to influence the arrangents of Dusk. Catching Zheng Yichen depended entirely on luck.
Furthermore, there were problems with the fields Zheng Yichen excelled in. Belonging to the all-rounder type, such a Proxy Agent could appear in any kind of world, while those agents specializing in certain fields were much easier to catch.
This ti their luck wasn’t bad. Zheng Yichen appeared in a trap world, and the Great World did not hesitate to arrange this operation, executing a counter-Breakworld to forcibly pull Zheng Yichen over, initiating this ambush.
If their landing point had not deviated severely, the battle would have ended long ago.
The reasons for the deviation... Within the Boundary Breakers surrounding Du Gang, so had analyzed the general reason, which was nothing more than an issue with the Boundary Breaking core causing a deviation in the coordinates.
The Boundary Breaking core, when used for counter-Breakworld, had already been protected by spatial power. That thing could malfunction, which matched the intelligence, as past information about Zheng Yichen ntioned that he had mastered a part of spatial power.
With such power, it would not be hard to further damage the Boundary Breaking core.
But it was too late even after the damage was done; it only resulted in coordinate deviation.
Being in the Great World, they simply could not escape. Even if they ran close to Dusk, what then?
Most of the ti Dusk was rely a backdrop. The Boundary Breaking Organization of the Great World kept a stringent watch over Dusk; any Dusks rcenary who ca to the Great World couldn’t get out, and Proxy Agents who were pulled over by counter-Breakworld couldn’t expect to leave either!
"You look a bit pitiful, don’t you?" Zheng Yichen sized up Du Gang who had been pulled back. The other had no wounds on his body, but still appeared sowhat disheveled.
"Why do you only have one??" Du Gang’s eyes widened as he looked around at the blood red threads everywhere, swiping his hand to break a large number, only for the threads to quickly repair themselves.
"Maybe the others got scared..." Zheng Yichen said and waved the fishing rod in his hand. To the astounded Boundary Breaker’s surprise, the surrounding blood net was swept away by a black torrent, and his figure was blasted into a mist of blood by the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills.
However, that blood mist quickly returned to its original state. Zheng Yichen clicked his tongue; the other’s condition appeared intact, but within his Life Perception, he could confirm that the guy’s condition wasn’t good. Without the interception of the blood net, another strike from him would absolutely be fatal.
In this world, the environntal bonuses he received were exceptionally high.
He might not be able to reach the ceiling of this world, but he was already a first-rate entity. As for the ceiling of this world... Zheng Yichen actually wanted to take a look. If he encountered such an entity, there would be no need for any further words, just engage Oblivion. He was worried that he wouldn’t have the chance to use it later.
Zheng Yichen drew a black crack and both he and Du Gang jumped in without hesitation. This was previously agreed upon.
If the original plan was no longer viable, they would imdiately proceed with Plan B, using Hell as a transfer station and then moving to another location.
Doing so would expose Zheng Yichen’s hand, but if it was exposed, let it be exposed. If he couldn’t break free from the Great World, having many trump cards would be useless anyway.
"I’m wondering if killing so many Boundary Breakers here would earn rit points? Would our actions count as score farming? If it’s farming, by taking down a few more powerful Boundary Breakers, would I be able to accumulate enough rit points to earn reserved attempts?"
"Then you’d also have to return to Dusk," said Du Gang, shivering as he landed in the Netherworld, and spoke unenthusiastically. The idea of wading through the Hell of the Great World was indeed brilliant.
Hell in the Great World was also intensely difficult. After landing there, Du Gang imdiately felt discomfort; the strength of Hell, the Power of Death, was slowly devouring his Vajra Body.
"Is that so? This isn’t like playing a dungeon where you have to clear it to get rewards..." Zheng Yichen could barely stop himself from swearing.
The fishing rod exuded the Power of Death, dispersing the power of Hell around it. Zheng Yichen didn’t feel much impact from the environnt of Hell; he felt as if he had returned ho.
Hell in the Great World was significantly different from Hell in other worlds. Wasteland was common, but the environnt here had undergone drastic changes. The sky was filled with nurous massive islands, each island easily spanning millions of square kiloters...
And these Netherworld islands were as nurous as stars, with so attracting each other and so repelling each other. The massive mass caused the space between them to distort, preventing normal creatures from freely moving between islands.
Zheng Yichen watched with twitching eyes: "I suspect this is because the Great World has amalgamated other worlds, and the Hells of those worlds have been included here too."
"I don’t doubt your suspicion, but how do we get out?" Du Gang observed the surrounding environnt. Shortly after their arrival, Hell creatures approached.
Those Hell creatures didn’t seem too interested in Zheng Yichen but were very interested in him. Moreover, Du Gang noticed that the approaching Hell creatures seed to treat Zheng Yichen as a higher existence within Hell. If it weren’t for Zheng Yichen deterring those Hell creatures...
He would already be under siege.
"Getting out is quite simple," Zheng Yichen sighed wistfully, "the problem is that if we go out now, we might get surrounded, and then it will be much harder to get back here. Let’s go look for another exit for now, don’t worry about supplies, I’ve brought plenty."
"I’m not worried about supplies, it’s just that the Hell here is too strong, its erosion on is severe. At the current rate of erosion, in two more months, my Vajra Body will be corroded through!"
"...Then let’s hurry up."
Let’s not even ntion the problems with "in two more months."
Outside, Boundary Breakers exchanged glances where Zheng Yichen’s traces had disappeared: "The things created by Dusk are as domineering as ever..."
They had sealed off the space, yet Zheng Yichen still managed to carve out a spatial passage and escape. Judging by the Hell aura flowing out of the passage, he obviously fled into the Hell of the Great World.
The control over Hell by the Great World side was not that high. The main reason being the Hell of the Great World was extrely chaotic, with a dense accumulation of ’Hells’ piled up, creating a trendously disordered situation within the Hell of the Great World.
Moreover, there were quite a few entities within Hell that the Boundary Breaking Faction found troubleso. So of these troubleso entities had been convinced to join them by the Boundary Breaking Organization, while others were hostile towards the Boundary Breaking Organization. This was normal, as many of those troubleso entities did not originally belong to the Great World.
"They won’t be able to run. Death is the only outco waiting for them," another Boundary Breaker said coldly. Let them run, as their goal had been achieved anyway. If not for the Proxy Agent’s landing point deviation, there wouldn’t be as much trouble now.
But unexpected things had happened, so there was no point dwelling on it. The key was the Proxy Agent had been dragged into the Great World. As long as they couldn’t return to Dusk, they would not be able to leave the Great World. Once summoned by Dusk and failing to return on ti, their fate would be mission failure followed by ’erasure’ by Dusk.
It’s that simple.
How exactly they would kill the targeted Proxy Agent didn’t matter. What mattered was the fact that the Proxy Agent they wanted to kill would die here.
Du Gang might be able to hold on for a while with his reserved attempts, but Zheng Yichen could not.
As for the situation where they killed Boundary Breakers to farm rit points?
If they were worried about that, they wouldn’t have arranged for so many expendable troops at the scene from the start.
Those expendable troops couldn’t provide much rit points to the Proxy Agents. Even if they did, the Proxy Agents had to return to Dusk for those points to count. The Boundary Breaking Faction had been "struggling" with Dusk for so long, they had a good grasp on many things about Dusk.
The Boundary Breaking Faction constantly evolved and beca more efficient with its developnt, while Dusk had never changed from the beginning until now.
Even when they produced the Descent of God Technique, the changes only affected the Dusk rcenaries. They voluntarily banded together and completed Dusk’s missions more efficiently.
As for Dusk’s counterasures, they were only that. As long as one did not exceed Dusk’s ’bottom line,’ Dusk would always be passive.
If Dusk took more initiative, things on the Great World side wouldn’t be so ’peaceful.’
The Great World side had always been developing well, hence the Dusk on this side had always been quiet and never arranged for any Proxy Agents or Dusk rcenaries.
"We can’t just ignore this situation."
"Let’s contact the Hell division."
A few Boundary Breakers imdiately agreed upon a course of action. Here, they were not God Descenders, who were considered high-end combat forces of the Great World and were kept busy as support units. Although they could also serve as God Descenders, most of their ti was not engaged as such.
The difference was that God Descenders were akin to the managent of a subsidiary company, whereas they were like the managent of the parent company that oversees the subsidiary.
Contacting the Hell division and pressuring the Proxy Agents who fled into Hell would be their goal, preferably keeping them from leaving Hell easily. Maintaining the status quo for a month or two should spell the end for all but Du Gang’s Proxy Agents.
The opposition wouldn’t be able to respond to Dusk’s summoning while in Hell.
Moreover, in that chaotic region of Hell, phenona like those in normal environnts did not exist.
Moreover, there weren’t many phenona in the Great World to begin with, and given its vast size, it would be hard to discover them even if they occurred in certain places.
For the Great World, there was always a special target. They were always trying to find worlds abundant with phenona. However, for these specific worlds, they only heard about them from the mouths of Dusk rcenaries; their exact locations... remained undiscovered!
Yet, the Great World had always been vigorously supporting this project. If they could find one and assimilate it, the Great World could move from riding a rocket to space jumping instantly!
