"Why are we so unlucky!!" A Boundary Breaker said with a face full of anger. After struggling for decades and graying his hair, why did such a troublemaker have to show up?
Any average Proxy Agent wouldn’t have driven them so mad.
But this ti, the one who appeared wasn’t average at all, and the Divine Domain they released buzzed in their heads.
How could that thing suppress the independent expansion of the Eye World of the Central Tower?
"What to do... retreat? There’s still a chance if we retreat now."
"...Retreat!" The presiding Proxy Agent was very straightforward. Zheng Yichen was noted in the last ssage they received; encountering him ant that if the situation was untenable, retreat was permitted.
The Great World’s Boundary Breaking Faction had many Boundary Breakers, but they weren’t to be wasted casually, and as for the cost of returning, that was a unique technology of the Great World’s Boundary Breaking Faction headquarters.
It was the most mature technology since the establishnt of their power.
Not as convenient as the Dusk rcenary’s instant world-crossing, but when it cos to the low cost of withdrawing Boundary Breakers back to the Great World, no one’s expenditure was more lavish.
Boundary Breakers also need ti to grow, and the Boundary Breaking Faction values the cost of ti quite highly.
After all, the breaking of a world is asured in years; normally, training a suitable Boundary Breaker takes a decade or even longer. There are so who achieve it in a few years, but not everyone is a genius.
Beyond training Boundary Breakers, those with experience are even more important. Thus, when there is no hope for a Breakworld, experienced Boundary Breakers are the kind you try to preserve as much as possible.
And they just happened to be experienced Boundary Breakers; although their team had newcors, the proportion wasn’t high, usually about three tenths.
Too many newcors could beco a burden, while too few would not be efficient in training new ones.
Plus, newcors were brought over by exerting force and transport, especially near the end of a Breakworld, when Dusk rcenaries appear, the rate of newcor transport would increase.
At that point, everything would be exposed, so the Great World wouldn’t act covertly. In this world, the traces left by Dusk rcenaries were minimal, naturally due to their own suppression efforts.
Boundary Breakers seized the initiative, as long as new blood arrived, they could be given a solid identity imdiately, whereas Dusk rcenaries didn’t have such privilege. Proxy Agents?
Proxy Agents might have local identities for disguise, but the Illusory Eye isn’t provided by Dusk, and Proxy Agents must obtain it themselves. After many years of effort, the currency system in this world has undergone trendous adjustnts.
Just over fifty years ago, many places were still circulating physical currency, but after their innovation with online digital currency, physical money completely left the market in a very short ti, becoming basically collectible only.
So, whether for Proxy Agents or Dusk rcenaries, the difficulty of obtaining an Illusory Eye is imnse.
But the problem is that the Proxy Agent who ca is the least provokable of them all. There’s no point in struggling anymore. If they could maintain imdiate contact with the headquarters of the Great World, they might have struggled a bit, but now?
Forget it.
Without God Descenders, what’s the point in fighting? To flee is the wisest choice!
When running away, they also wanted to struggle as much as possible. Since Breakworld can no longer proceed, and with just a few days left, they have no ti to wait.
Just... go for broke.
"Use the White Tiger?"
"Then it’s the White Tiger. It’s just that we don’t know what exactly has happened to the Great World; the White Tiger we form may not be as strong as we’d hoped," said another Boundary Breaker with a sigh. The Boundary Breaking core has other uses; it harbors vast Energy, assembled from fragnts within the Great World.
Otherwise, how could the Breakworld be precisely linked to the Great World?
For this reason, the Boundary Breaking core can also be employed elsewhere. They’ve operated in this world for over fifty years; the Central Tower ingests global funds every day, one could say almost all global capital flows pass through here.
Through the Central Tower, they’ve gathered a trendous spiritual power, as people worldwide provide specialized spiritual power to the Central Tower every mont, day in and day out, for fifty years.
Ultimately reaching the critical point for Breakworld, if this Breakworld was successful, it would be a complete human-powered Breakworld. Once the Great World consus this world, there would be a new batch of individuals with unique spiritual power.
However, now the final step is blocked, and they can only choose the worst plan—to manifest a unique entity within the Eye World through the vast spiritual power they’ve collected.
One of the Great World’s four gods - the White Tiger. The Boundary Breaking core contains fragnts of the Great World; with sufficient data, indeed, one of the four gods can be manifested through the Eye World.
There’s no need to manifest all of them, as their data isn’t comprehensive enough, and full manifestation would only lead to dispersion of power. Even with combined techniques, the strength wouldn’t match that of a single entity.
Now they have information on the White Tiger, previously provided by a God Descender who conducted research here. Unfortunately, contact with the Great World has been abruptly cut off, and they can only use the primitive ans of communication.
Getting the latest news would take at least a few months.
The decided Boundary Breakers imdiately sprung into action; they took a secret elevator to the location where the Boundary Breaking core was stored.
This was the treasury.
The treasury with the highest security level in the world, yet this very treasury had been partly designed by the Boundary Breakers. Even though the Central Tower was under the surveillance and regulation of all major powers globally, the core part was still in their hands.
Under the cover of Zheng Yichen’s Divine Domain, many functions of the Central Tower could still be used normally.
The Divine Domain just suppressed the Central Tower’s independent Eye World from unfolding. If they were to directly detonate the Boundary Breaking core... Well, there was no need; the effect of an explosion was not as good as directly manifesting one of the Four Divine Beasts, the White Tiger.
Since they were going to flee anyway, they might as well leave the Proxy Agent with a deep impression, just in case they managed to eliminate them, right?
By the way, they needed to pack and take away many of the new research materials and special products of this world. Eyes, though integrated into every household, required special materials to make.
These materials were abundant on this planet, but they were a unique local product here, belonging to non-renewable items, much like gold. There’s gold in mobile phones too, but only in very small amounts.
Illusory Eyes contain such unique materials, which can’t be made if they’re lacking.
However, the recycling system in this world is very efficient, and the material wastage rate isn’t high. When the old Eyes are recycled, the recovery rate is over 90%; with improved technology, the materials recovered from one old Illusory Eye can produce at least four new versions of the Eye.
With technological upgrades, material utilization rates increase, and while using less material, performance is actually enhanced.
The older models had to pile on materials due to the lack of technology to overco certain limitations.
However, with the advancents in technology, it’s beco difficult to recycle Illusory Eyes like they did five generations ago; even after recycling, so new materials still have to be added to create new ones.
They planned to take so of these materials with them, and those they took were all super-refined; with many technologies in the Great World, even the super-refining technology was supported by logistics there.
The goal was to take away more of the unique resources of this world under limited carrying capacity.
Eyes made from super-refined materials would perform better.
The Boundary Breaking core was also additionally strengthened with such super-refined materials.
"Stop!" After the Boundary Breakers arrived here, the guards standing watch imdiately shouted loudly.
Usually, they might have entertained these guards’ objections, but now? They were pressed for ti, as the Proxy Agent had deployed a wide-reaching Divine Domain; even the special Central Tower might not be able to block the opponent’s line of sight.
Wasting ti could lead to disaster.
They imdiately made use of the hidden forces left in the Central Tower. Before the guards could react, they were torn apart by giant claws that also destroyed nearby defense chanisms.
"Hmm?"
Zheng Yichen instantly sensed the anomaly; strong fluctuations erupted from the top of the Central Tower, and beneath this turmoil, Zheng Yichen felt his Divine Domain being stimulated. Moreover, suddenly, hundreds of bewildered souls appeared in the mini World of Death created by his Divine Domain.
So souls were intact, while others’ bodies were severely mutilated, marked by claw slashes, with soul-dust drifting out from the wounds, eventually dissipating into nothingness.
This mini World of Death couldn’t even preserve those souls.
Was it from the sky, not the underground?
Zheng Yichen vanished on the spot instantly; the ceiling, under external force, was forcibly breached. Nurous chanically manifested robots and Summoned Beasts obstructed Zheng Yichen’s path.
To this, Zheng Yichen showed no courtesy.
With a dragon roar, Tanshia Firlo excitedly looked at these adversaries, finally getting her chance to take the stage: "Leave these to !"
"The Eye Pupil of Life is yours to keep," Zheng Yichen instructed Tanshia Firlo before swiftly departing from the location. The small white dragon spouted a stream of Light Dragon Breath from its mouth.
Since the fight had started, there was no holding back, nor was there a need to be gentle with the infrastructure; they did whatever was convenient.
This was the instruction given to her by Zheng Yichen, and Tanshia Firlo took it to heart, sweeping away a large number of Summoned Beasts with a beam of light. The Illusory Eye could also be put to use in her dragon form.
With the small white dragon drawing fire here, Zheng Yichen’s subsequent journey beca unhindered.
But just as he reached the upper layers of the Central Tower, a massive claw reached out towards him. A cat’s paw, magnified to a certain extent, would instill fear, not to ntion this was not even a cat’s paw.
Although the paw pads were visible, the larger claws made them appear all the more vicious.
