The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 976: A Bizarre Sliver of Hope?

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

Every Party Ace member was struck dumb by the news.

They felt like a giant club had come crashing down from the sky and hit them on the back of the head!

Or like a new recruit that had just joined the battlefield but was instantly stabbed with a bloody bayonet!

They were not prepared for this this. They did not expect this.

More importantly, the little bit of morale they had recovered with difficulty after their loss in the previous world was destroyed again! They had picked themselves up only to be struck back down to the ground. Even Zi and Reef, who were usually strong-willed, showed signs of defeat.

The only one who was not disheartened was Sheyan, not because he had a strong heart or was exceedingly calm, but because he's extremely furious right now! His face looked like it was on fire. The muscles on his face twitched in anger.

Why? Because of Sanzi!

His little brother had just started following him in the nightmare realm, full of expectations, and within a minute of accepting the main mission in a nightmare world, they had already failed the mission and would face a 20% penalty in all base attributes. It was more than an embarrassment. It was an utter disgrace to his status as a big brother.

The scenery along the road became blurry lines due to the speed of the bike. The wind roared into Sheyan's ears. The nearest strand of black smoke came from a common Californian hotel in front. The bottom floor of the hotel was a parking lot. After the customers parked their car, they could just swipe their credit cards and go straight to their room upstairs to rest. The whole process was very convenient.

In Sheyan's vision, there were originally two red dots representing the two important characters. The red dot representing Reese had completely disappeared; he had apparently turned into a cold corpse by now. Sarah Connor's red dot, though still present, was very weak, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any moment.

Next, like a chain reaction, a series of notifications was sent to him.

[ Warning: The missions related to the heroine, Sarah Connor, will be deleted due to her death.... ]

[ Warning: The subsequent development of the world will be dramatically altered due to the death of the heroine, Sarah Connor.... ]

[ Warning: The heroine, Sarah Connor is dead and will no longer appear in the records of all the contestants experiencing this world in the future. ]

[ ...… ]

Sheyan instantly discovered something strange.

He did not get any notification about his mission failure!

By rights, since the male and female protagonists were both dead, his main mission should have failed immediately.

What's happening?

Sheyan glanced at the mission hint of the main mission - make sure that history is not substantially rewritten - and a strange idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

'Could there be a sliver of hope still? That's it, I know why! I know the reason! Although it's dangerous and outrageous, but there's still a sliver of hope for this mission. That mastermind behind the scenes could never have imagined that there's a loophole due to timing!'

'It's difficult for other people to exploit this loophole, but it's possible for me! It's fucking possible for me!'

A cold glint flashed in Sheyan's narrowed eyes once he saw the light. He quickly made an enquiry, then revved his bike's speed to the limit and accelerated forward. He lifted the front of the bike and drove up a car in front at high speed. Using the car as a stepping stone, he smashed the bike through the window of a room into the second floor of the hotel.

At the same time, Sheyan also issued some orders quickly and orderly in the party communication channel.

"Sanzi, I need you to go to this address and find someone. He's just an ordinary person, so do whatever you have to do to make him obey you.... "

"Reef, come here quickly and join me."

"Mogensha, I'm breaking in. Get ready to cover me. There should be a T-800 and a lot of contestants inside. We may have some allies among them."

When the huge Harley motorcycle crashed into the second floor at a high speed, the thick front wheel of the motorcycle kissed the T-800's face. The sunglasses it was wearing instantly broke into pieces.

Under such a violent impact, even the heavy robot from the future was forced to stagger back. It's back crashed into a wall, which collapsed like a fragile wooden partition.

Sheyan had a clear view of the situation in the room. Although the whole place was in a mess, it could still be clearly seen that the enemies had simultaneously launched a fierce attack from both the room on the left and right side. The situation was akin to a move in wushu which striked the opponent's ears with both fists. The defender could not defend against it.

Sarah Connor lay on the ground with a frightened look on her face. No traces of blood could be seen on her body. Her corpse was completely intact because she suffered only one fatal attack.

A very brutal attack.

Her neck was twisted by roughly 270 degrees. Her face, which was supposed to face forward, was now facing diagonally backwards....

What exactly was this strong, heroic woman thinking of before she died?

Seeing the crime scene where Sarah Connor died, Sheyan confirmed that his judgement was correct! With a hard push of his feet, the Harley's exhaust pipe sprayed out thick black smoke once again. He crashed the bike into the T-800 while he himself landed smoothly on the floor with a somersault.

When ordinary people, and even contestants, took a high-speed rotating tire to their face, it was difficult to make any effectively responses besides the most basic self-protection measures.

But that was not so for the T-800. Although its jaw was in a terrible mess of flesh, blood and metal, it still forcefully jammed its right hand into the rotating wheel!

The artificial skin on the T-800's right hand was thoroughly churned to pieces, but the Harley motorcycle's front-wheel steel axles were also damaged beyond recognition. The powerful Terminator gave the motorcycle another punch, and then tore it apart. The motorcycle fell into a semi-disintegrated state.

Fortunately, a nearby contestant took the chance to fire a hot bullet into the fuel tank of the Harley. The expensive and eye-catching toy exploded violently, wrapping the T-800 in a huge fireball. That contestant should be a protector of Sarah Connor too.

Sheyan did not remain idle after jumping down from the bike. After a heavy landing, the muscles in his legs and abdomen tensed to the limit, and he burst out like a cheetah towards Sarah Connor's body.

He acted just in time, because within a second of his landing, a few silent hisses could be heard.

That's the sound made by a pistol with a muffler.

Seven bullets were let fly and accurately pierced into flesh. If the special-made steel-core bulletheads had hit ordinary people, they would have churned the skin, muscles, and internal organs into a pulp. From the outside, the wounds would only look like small bullet holes, but the inside would look like conical holes the size of towel gourds!

Unfortunately, the one those seven bullets hit was Sheyan. His strong physical defence caused the bullets to burst ahead of time, making a few bloody holes on Sheyan's back. Sheyan didn't even feel anything. He picked up Sarah Connor's body and was prepared to run away.

But just then, there was a loud crash from the ceiling, and a T-800 fell down from above to block Sheyan's way. It launched a punch without saying a word.

Sheyan took half a step back. Grabbing Sarah Connor's body with his left hand, he blocked with his right.

Against the T-800's force, Sheyan had to block with all his strength. His shirt was stretched taut by his tense muscles and the buttons on it burst away angrily, exposing the bulging veins and steel-like muscles inside!

"AAARRGH!!!!" Sheyan's eyes turned bloodshot as he growled with all his might. The nightmare imprint on his chest shone brightly and the pattern of a fist interlaced with a shield emerged. That shocked all the contestants on scene.

A Growth Hunter was nothing to be surprised at, but this was the first time any of them had seen a dual-attribute Growth Hunter! Some of them instantly realised that it might be bad news to get mixed up in a fight of such a high level!

However, the T-800 in front of Sheyan was a very simple war machine which had no concept of a Growth Hunter or a dual-attribute breakthrough. Its power may be inferior to Sheyan, but its fierce will to fight made the notion of defeating him in a short amount of time unrealistic.

But in the next second, a light flashed outside the window.

Following that, a violent explosion damaged the neck of the T-800 fighting with Sheyan!
