Wasteland's Only King

Chapter 175: Chapter 151: Value Surpasses One Hundred Million, Instant Kill! The Hand That Pierces Dimensions!

Holland sneered coldly, and the stars behind him erupted with endless radiance in response.

This brilliance did not attack Yu Jin, but instead surged toward the Puppet.

Buzz——!

Holland’s figure also vanished from where he stood, then reappeared inside the Puppet’s body.

Tier Eight Puppet Attribute Ability: War Puppet!

Tier Eight Star Attribute Ability: Starlight Blessing!

Holland wanted Yu Jin to understand one thing: Tier Nine does not mean the strongest; 8+8 > 9!

A truly powerful Evolver never simply stacks Attribute Abilities, but fuses and links them together!

In the vast Star System Wasteland, to higher-Tier Evolvers…

They are no longer limited to the simple Tier One to Tier Nine abilities, but instead dig deep into their own Attribute Abilities, develop them to the extreme, and create synergy, achieving an Effect where 1+1 is far greater than 2!

Boom——!

Holland’s spellcasting ended.

The War Puppet stood tall in the starry sky.

His aura broke through again on top of its original foundation.

If Yu Jin used Value Check, he would discover…

This War Puppet’s Value had already unscientifically broken through Holland’s original 70 million Value limit, reaching a terrifying 80 million level.

This Value, compared to Yu Jin’s, was now not so far off.

“Die!”

The War Puppet strode across the starry sky and appeared in front of Yu Jin in an instant.

Holland’s face was ferocious.

The Puppet’s hands slammed down fiercely at Yu Jin.

On each huge palm, there was starlight flickering; in the faint shimmer one could even glimpse countless star phantoms!

But…

“Too slow.”

Yu Jin’s voice rang out abruptly.

The War Puppet’s movement was frozen in midair.

Swish——

Yu Jin opened his eyes.

His aura was no longer violent, no longer surging, but became calm again.

[You use ’Tier Seventeen Energy Crystal’!]

[Energy surplus, auto-advance!]

[You become a Tier Sixteen Evolver!]

At this moment.

From Yu Jin’s view, his Value had officially broken through the 100 million mark.

And at the very instant he broke 100 million, he could clearly feel…

That distant “sun” at the center of the Star System was trembling violently, emitting wails.

million Value—this was the limit of the current server.

It wasn’t that Yu Jin couldn’t keep advancing, but that if he went any further, that “sun”—the planetary server—would collapse…

And after the Value broke 100 million.

The world Yu Jin saw had completely changed as well.

He could see…

Countless ’energy’ and ’rules’ drifting through the starry sky.

From Tier Fifteen to Tier Sixteen, it seemed like just one rank up, but it was like entering an entirely different dimension of existence.

Just like now.

Yu Jin looked at the War Puppet imprisoned in space as if looking at a clumsy puppet.

If his Value had been just 99.99 million, he wouldn’t have been able to so easily imprison Holland and the War Puppet in an instant.

But…

He could see the trajectory of energy, the ripples of rules.

In a certain sense.

Reaching the Value limit of the planetary server, he was now no different from a true god.

This was good news, but also bad news.

The good was that he could now, like crushing an ant, kill every living thing within the planetary server at will.

The bad was, even with more Tier Seventeen Energy Crystals, he could not really break through to a higher Tier in the short term; maybe a breakthrough was possible, but he would very likely be sealed and restricted, unable to manifest in the current server.

Yu Jin shook his head, drawing back his gaze from the sun.

He extended a finger, pointing at the War Puppet across the air.

This attack, ’Space Black Hole’, Yu Jin used exactly one hundred million Value—not a bit more, not a bit less.

And the result was…

The distant sun began to flare explosively.

The surrounding starry sky kept collapsing.

The entire planetary server wailed.

Pop——!

A crisp sound.

The towering War Puppet, blessed with the Power of the Stars, Holland’s ultimate trump card fused from two kinds of Attribute Energy, dissipated.

Together with everything of Holland inside the Puppet.

It only took a split second.

Both it and he were devoured by the Black Hole, not even a trace of their existence left.

Buzz——!

The Black Hole vanished.

Everything returned to calm.

The sun, the starry sky, the server itself, all stabilized again.

[With the body of an ant, you have leapfrogged to slay the ’Level II Selza Civilization Tier Eighteen Evolver—Holland Benitez’!]

[Civilization Source Points +1,000,000!]

[You gained resource: Tier Eighteen Energy Crystal*1]

[You gained resource: Medium-sized Interstellar Refuge Fortress*1]

…

[You defeated ’Tier Fifteen Evolver—Holland Benitez’!]

[’Strongman’s Spoils’ triggered…]

[You gained one of his Talents!]

[You awakened new Talent: Death Replacement!]

[Death Replacement: Passive Talent, no activation required, Immune to Death!]

[Uses: 0/2]

[Cooldown: 30 days]

“Hmm?”

“Actually snagged it.”

Yu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.

Before killing Holland, he hadn’t used Strongman’s Spoils—he had deliberately saved it for this most powerful Tier Fifteen Commander.

“Death Replacement Talent?”

“That’s a bit OP…”

After reading the description carefully, Yu Jin found that “Immune to Death” had no prerequisites at all, which left him clicking his tongue in amazement.

But…

The next second.

Boom——!

The entire starry sky violently trembled!

“Ant——”

From the void, a cold, majestic voice rang out.

A giant hand appeared out of thin air, roaring straight toward Yu Jin!

In just an instant.

Yu Jin’s whole body bristled with alarm.

This hand—for the first time, he truly felt a crisis of death!

Buzz——!

Yu Jin activated Spatial Attribute Ability, but his body still remained rooted in place.

The space around him—no, the entire starry sky—were completely stagnant at this moment.

Time, space, energy…

Everything—every last thing—was frozen right now.

Even Yu Jin’s thoughts and consciousness were stuck in this second.

And in front of his eyes—

Swish——

The system panel popped up automatically.

[Warning! Warning!]

[You have encountered a high-dimensional being of unknown Tier!]

[In low dimension, with the body of an ant, you are powerless to resist!]

[Run! Run!]

Yu Jin could not see these lines of system text.

Bam——!

His body, as the giant hand fell, utterly shattered.

But.

Buzz——!

’Death Replacement’ Talent activated.

Yu Jin’s figure reappeared right where he was.

“Hmm?”

A faint sound of surprise came from the void.

“You actually managed to plunder that bug’s Talent…”

Buzz——

A surge of special rule fluctuations spread out.

Bam——!

The terrifying giant hand was destroyed in a booming crash.

The originally stagnant space-time began to flow again.

…

…

High above the infinite starry sky.

Inside a room.

A young man took off his helmet.

He turned to look out the window—

A bustling city, crowds of people walking, and the starry sky overhead.

Everything seemed no different from the scenes out of a sci-fi film.

The difference was…

The young man’s body was faintly emitting waves of a special aura.

On his right hand, pale red blood was slowly flowing.

“There are actually plundering-type abilities in the ’Wasteland’ game?”

“Or was that just a coincidence?”

The youth frowned, muttering to himself.

Just now.

The bug he was raising died.

That was a bug he’d specifically invested in, so it could earn him decent Source Points.

For that—

He even spent a huge sum of Source Points to buy that bug a ’Death Replacement’ Talent.

Originally…

He just needed to wait till the Derek server’s advancement ended. When a new batch of players ascended, he could use ’the bug’s’ identity to get social welfare from the Federation Government.

But now?

Everything was gone!

So much so that, in his fury, he rashly broke the rules and interfered with the Low-dimensional Server.

Bam——!

A muffled noise interrupted the young man’s thoughts.

His room’s door was kicked open with a bang.

“III-Class Citizen—Pading Miles!”

“You illegally interfered with a Low-dimensional Server, affecting the operation of the ’Wasteland’ game!”

“This conduct is a serious violation of Federation Convention 007!”

“You are now under investigation!”

“During this period, you have the right to remain silent, but everything you say can and will be used as evidence in the Federation court!”

“Now, please come with us…”
