Wasteland's Only King

Chapter 236: Chapter 28: I’m Your Brother! Dad’s Here! Why Is Everyone Tier Nine? (Part 2)

Yu Jin’s voice echoed throughout the whole State City.

At the same time, it reached the ears of the dozen or so trusted subordinates under Yu Chen.

They were both shocked and curious.

Shocked because they were now completely certain that this mysterious badass piloting the mecha was actually their City Lord’s biological brother—one of their own!

Curious because they wanted to know: just how strong was this boss, really?

Tier Nine?

Able to one-shot Tier Eight Evolvers—he’s got to be Tier Nine, right?

Buzz——!

Yu Jin had no idea what they were thinking. He just coldly stared at the hundreds of thousands of troops on the ground below, slowly raising his hand.

His own little brother getting bullied to his face, as the big bro? He was well and truly pissed now.

So…

Yu Jin didn’t plan to give these Qili City bastards an easy way out.

BOOM——

RUMBLE——!

The tremors shook the Celestial Vault.

On the earth, over a hundred thousand Evolvers from Qili City rose uncontrollably into the sky.

Their eyes widened in terror, wanting to struggle but completely powerless.

Even Tier Seven Limit Evolvers couldn’t move a muscle right now.

Time ticked by slowly.

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion.

Over a hundred thousand people, all lifted up, soaring to more than a hundred meters above ground.

At this moment—

Everyone in State City could see those tens of thousands floating in the sky.

Then…

BZZ BZZ——

One by one, mysterious mini black holes appeared all around the sky.

SWISH SWISH——

From the black holes, countless invisible Spatial Blades screamed out.

Screams?

There weren’t any. Not a single scream could be made.

Tens of thousands were precisely shredded to bits by those Spatial Blades.

What made one’s scalp crawl even more—

Even after being ground into mincemeat, they were still getting shredded further.

Until they were nothing. Complete Annihilation!

Inside and outside State City, dead silence.

Even Yu Chen couldn’t help swallowing as he witnessed all this.

“Bro…”

He called out weakly.

“Yeah?”

Yu Jin turned to look at him.

“You, what Tier are you now?”

“Tier Nine?”

“Tier Nine… is it really this strong?”

Yu Chen was only Tier Seven himself, but he’d once faced a heavily injured Tier Nine Infected Body.

The pressure from the Tier Nine Infected Body was terrifying, but compared to what his brother just did? Nothing. Like heaven and earth, total worlds apart!

“Tier Nine?”

Yu Jin chuckled.

“Not that weak.”

As soon as he finished speaking—

Yu Chen froze on the spot.

His dozen or so trusted subordinates had their eyes nearly falling out.

Tier Nine…

Not that weak?

Seriously, is that something people say?

Tier Nine is weak now?

Tier Nine is already the server’s ceiling, dude!

“Bro…”

After holding back for a long time, Yu Chen finally couldn’t help but ask again.

“You, don’t tell me you’ve broken through Tier Nine?”

It was a question, but with a lot of certainty in it.

Just now, when Yu Jin made his move, he briefly released a hint of his aura.

That aura shook the whole Z99 Planet twice over.

“Pretty much.”

Yu Jin replied casually, looking up at the sky.

“They’re coming.”

He suddenly said.

“Coming?”

Yu Chen was puzzled, instinctively looking up as well.

“Who’s coming?”

He asked, confused.

“The Qili City Lord? Tier Nine Evolver?”

There was a slight nervousness in Yu Chen’s tone.

His brother was strong, but a Tier Nine Evolver was nothing to scoff at either.

But the next second—

Yu Jin’s calm words left Yu Chen standing there dumbfounded.

“Your dad’s coming.”

“Huh?”

…

…

BOOM——

RUMBLE——!

Above State City—

The Celestial Vault trembled violently.

The sky, just past noon a second ago, now rapidly dimmed into darkness.

The earth was cast into a vast shadow.

Above the clouds, a massive object loomed, half-revealed and half-hidden.

“Is that…”

Yu Chen stared blankly into the sky, his mind still echoing Yu Jin’s earlier words.

My dad’s coming?

What did that even mean?

Literally?

Did Old Yu come to Z99 Planet too?

Yu Chen’s brain was wiped blank; all he could do was stare stupidly skyward.

RUMBLE——!

From the clouds, flows of blue-white energy, ten thousand meters thick, burst forth.

Sweeping across, the energy ripped the clouds apart like shredding a painting.

And then, the massive object in the sky finally revealed its full true form.

“A city?”

“A city in the sky?”

“Wait, no…”

“How does it look as big as the whole Zone 99?!”

Above State City—

Yu Chen’s most loyal trusted man, a burly bald giant, was shouting his lungs out right now.

The rest were speechless, completely at a loss for words.

All they could do was gape—

The enormous Sky City was slowly descending from the Celestial Vault.

Until it quietly hovered exactly a kilometer above State City.

At this moment—

Looking up from State City, the entirety of their view was filled—there was no more sky, only the underbelly of Sky City.

The terrifying flows of blue-white energy were now shut off.

If they were still active, just the aftershocks would erase everything in Zone 99.

“Bro…”

Yu Chen snapped back to his senses in a daze.

His voice was trembling badly at this point.

“Don’t tell me…”

“This is your city?”

Yu Jin grinned at that.

“Bingo, but no prize.”

As soon as he finished—

SWISH——

SWISH SWISH——

High above State City, white light swirled.

As the light faded, figures began to appear.

Yin Yao, Chen Gang, Old Cui, Naiya, Brother Yu Fei…

And right at the front, Old Yu Limin’s face bursting with excitement.

“My boy!”

Spotting Yu Chen from afar, Old Yu’s excitement was off the charts!

He shouted, then whooshed straight over to Yu Chen.

A breath later—

Before Yu Chen could react, Yu Limin was already standing right in front of him.

“Eh?”

Yu Chen was a little dazed.

Why did it feel like…

His dad’s Evolver Tier seemed even higher than his own?

“My boy!”

“I missed you so much!”

Old Yu didn’t care what Yu Chen was thinking; he rushed over and wrapped his son in a huge bear hug.

His scruffy beard poked and pricked Yu Chen, making him kind of sore.

“Dad, take it easy…”

“I can’t breathe!”

Yu Chen’s voice sounded weak and wronged.

Heaven help him.

He was the mighty Tier Seven Evolver, City Lord of State City, a big shot in Zone 99.

Yet, held tight in his dad’s arms, he couldn’t even struggle a bit.

Just how freakishly strong was this old man?!

At this moment—

Yu Chen was now sure—his dad’s Tier was definitely above his!

“Hehehe.”

Old Yu laughed, finally letting go of Yu Chen.

Then, he grabbed his son, checking him from head to toe, looking for ages.

“You got skinnier.”

Old Yu shook his head, showing some fatherly pain at last.

Yu Chen, meanwhile, was sizing up his dad.

“Wait a sec…”

“How did you get this fat?”

Yu Chen didn’t get it, but he was shocked.

Crisscrossing the Wasteland, you’d think you’d be starving, all skin and bones at worst—but c’mon, you shouldn’t be this…well-fed, right?

Compared to before, Old Yu easily looked twenty pounds heavier!

“Xiaochen!”

After the touching father-son reunion—

Old Cui and the others laughed as they Shuttled over, too.

Back in freshman year, Yu Jin had invited them all back to Gunzhou for a visit; they’d met this little brother Yu Chen then.

“Brother Cui? Brother Gang? Brother Yu Fei?”

Yu Chen’s eyes grew wide upon seeing the three.

“Wait…”

He suddenly noticed—their auras seemed even stronger than his dad’s!

“You, you guys…”

“Wh-what Tier are you?”

Yu Chen couldn’t help but blurt out.

“Eh, not high.”

Chen Gang’s lips were twitching—he could barely keep from grinning.

He turned his head to calmly look down on State City, pretending not to care.

“Just an ordinary ol’ Tier Nine, nothing impressive.”

“Not great, nothing worth bragging about.”

Old Cui and Brother Yu Fei, seeing Brother Gang acting all cocky, shook their heads with a laugh.

But they also answered Yu Chen’s question honestly.

“Tier Nine.”

They answered in unison, tone flat.

“Huh?”

Yu Chen was completely stunned.

“Hey——”

“Your dad’s not too far from Tier Nine either, you know.”

“Maybe just a few more days and I’ll be there!”

Seeing his son totally spaced out, Old Yu couldn’t help teasing him.

And not far away—

SWISH SWISH——

Naiya, Yin Yao, Neil, and the rest appeared, stepping through the air as well.

They smiled at Yu Chen.

They hadn’t met Yu Chen before, but just being Yu Jin’s brother was enough for them to take him seriously.

If you round things up, this was basically their future little brother-in-law!

But…

Right at this moment—

The one thing on little brother-in-law’s mind was—

“Wait a minute…”

“Why is everyone Tier Nine?!”
