Wasteland's Only King

Ed’s breathing suddenly grew heavy.

The other Lambert Clan members, inside the warships or spaceships participating in this plundering, had their hearts pounding wildly as well.

In a secret bunker more than a hundred kilometers away from Oak City, the Lambert Clan patriarch—Funi’s father-in-law—saw those numbers, and his aged face instantly flushed red.

“Take him down!”

“Fastest speed, shortest time, seize him!”

“As long as he’s not killed on the spot, capture him alive—there are plenty of ways to make him hand over the remaining balance!”

The patriarch was almost screaming hoarsely at the light screen in front of him.

These words echoed in Ed’s ears.

“Move!”

Ed no longer felt like saying another word.

He waved his hand grandly and retreated behind the crowd.

Whoosh—

Whoosh whoosh—

Behind him, more than a dozen Unlimiters in battle armor, with powerful auras, rushed toward Yu Jin.

Multicolored gleams lit up the night.

Various attribute energies erupted from their bodies.

“Hm?”

“Tier Four? Tier Five?”

“So weak?”

Yu Jin sensed their energy fluctuations and frowned slightly.

Those casual words fell on Aliya’s ears, making the young girl’s pale face freeze instantly.

On the other side.

“Mr. Yu Jin, get back!”

“I’ll hold them off!”

Funi’s shout rang out at the same time.

Facing a dozen Unlimiters whose tiers were not below, even above his own, the business association president stepped forward alone!

Such a scene.

Made Ed’s cold grin even deeper.

“Foolish!”

The same two words.

Were spoken simultaneously by the Lambert Clan patriarch in the distant secret bunker.

He had never liked this son-in-law.

“Since he’s so stubborn and ignorant…”

“Now he stands against the family, risking his life for an unknown young man…”

“Then—eliminate him!”

The old man’s voice echoed quietly in Ed’s ear.

Ed, excitedly, immediately relayed the order to the dozen Unlimiters charging forward.

These were the Lambert Clan’s extraordinary foundation!

Tonight, all hands mobilized—he couldn’t say they were not taking Yu Jin seriously.

Boom—!

Boom rumble—!

The dozen Extraordinary Unlimiters, originally aiming to bypass Funi and go straight for Yu Jin, received the order and unleashed even stronger energy from their bodies.

Attacks of all different attributes rained down straight toward Funi.

In just an instant.

Funi was about to be overwhelmed by all those attacks!

At this moment.

Funi’s heart plunged into the abyss.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

That bitter smile wasn’t regret for siding with Yu Jin, but because…

He had worked diligently for the Lambert Clan for fifty years, only for it to come to a moment he could be killed off at any time.

“I hope…”

“Mr. Yu Jin keeps his promise, and doesn’t harm Erin…”

Funi unleashed all the energy within him, facing the overwhelming attacks, while that thought lingered in his mind.

He believed unwaveringly—

The Lambert Clan would pay for what they did today.

Even if…

Yu Jin might be temporarily coerced tonight, but eventually, the powers behind him would erupt!

“Ah~!”

Aliya covered her eyes and screamed.

She couldn’t bear to watch Funi be besieged and killed.

Yu Jin, finally, slowly rose from the sofa.

“That’s enough.”

He hadn’t rushed to act before—he wanted to see the Lambert Clan’s cards.

Now, he already had his answer.

So, Yu Jin lost interest in playing games with them any longer.

Whoosh—

Yu Jin reached out and gently waved his hand in the air.

Inside him, his energy did not surge wildly like the Lambert Clan’s Unlimiters.

On the contrary, Yu Jin was extremely calm inside.

No energy leaked from him at all—he looked no different than an ordinary person.

But nevertheless!

As Yu Jin waved his hand—

Buzz—

A special fluctuating aura spread from the void.

This fluctuation was so slow, yet so swift.

In just an instant, it engulfed Funi and all the dozen Extraordinary Unlimiters.

“Za Warudo.”

Yu Jin softly muttered the line he’d once heard on Blue Star watching anime.

As he finished speaking—

Time and space froze.

Funi and the dozen Unlimiters—all their movements and expressions, and even the energy attacks they’d unleashed—instantly became frozen like ice sculptures.

Time Stop attribute + Spatial attribute.

Time and space—the two strongest, most terrifying attributes—at this moment combined to perfection, displaying their power.

“…”

17-story building.

Aliya’s hands covering her eyes lost strength.

She stared blankly ahead, looking at the dozen figures not far away, seemingly paused—their existence made her mind go blank.

On the other side.

Ed’s eyes widened, scalp tingling!

This time Yu Jin’s temporal imprisonment didn’t include him—he could still move and think.

But…

Precisely because of that, he truly felt it—a terror beyond words!

“How is this possible!”

Ed felt as if a bucket of cold water had flowed from the top of his head down to his feet!

“He—he only just reached Tier Twenty, and was leveling up in the Wasteland server a couple days ago!”

“How could he possibly…”

“Imprison a dozen Tier Four and Tier Five Powerful Beings so easily!”

“Time, Spatial attribute?”

“No matter how strong the attribute, it shouldn’t be able to completely ignore tiers!”

Ed screamed internally, howled.

But in reality, he sobbed and couldn’t utter a single sound.

Compared to Ed, lost in infinite confusion—

In the distant bunker, the Lambert Clan patriarch—far more experienced—saw this scene and seemed to be instantly stripped of his soul.

“No…”

“Impossible…”

The patriarch stared hard at the light screen, his greed replaced by fear for all to see.

Even though he wasn’t present—

But…

He was utterly certain.

This was at least the power only Tier Six, even Tier Seven Unlimiters could wield!

And Tier Six and Tier Seven Unlimiters?

Those were already the strongest on Gangval Star—bar none!

The highest-tiered Unlimiter in the entire Lambert Clan was himself—still only Tier Five Level Nine, still a distance away from Tier Six!

“No, no!”

“There’s still a chance!”

“Even if it’s a Tier Six or Tier Seven Unlimiter guarding him…”

“It can’t single-handedly withstand the full power of the family’s Fortress Battleships!”

…

Business building, 17th floor.

Click—

Crack—

Yu Jin snapped his fingers.

The frozen time and space were released.

Funi, feeling his thoughts haze momentarily, looked forward—and realized…

The dozen Unlimiters were vanishing inch by inch, crumbling to dust.

“!!!”

Funi was terrified senseless.

He staggered back and collapsed on the floor.

Not far away—

Ed saw this, his face pale.

In the ultimate terror, he heard his father screaming out orders.

“Warships!”

“All warships, fortresses, mechas open fire!”

“Even the strongest Tier Six and Tier Seven cannot withstand the steel flood!”

Ed instinctively wanted to remind his father…

If they used that method, Yu Jin could be killed easily.

And then, the 5.8 billion Source Points would disappear like an illusion!

Obviously—

Even his father, the patriarch, couldn’t stay calm after what just happened—he was losing his mind.

“Fine!”

Ed’s hesitation lasted only a moment.

The next second, he decided to obey his father’s order.

But…

Just then—

Boom—

Boom rumble—!

Oak City suddenly began to shake violently.

No—in fact, it wasn’t Oak City that was shaking, but… all of Gangval Star!

“Wh-what?”

Ed hadn’t yet given his command.

He stared blankly upward toward the Celestial Vault.

Whoosh—

Whoosh whoosh—!

He saw countless meteors streak across the sky.

He saw immense fortresses sweeping through the Star River.

He saw a dazzlingly brilliant figure, with an aura so frightening it couldn’t be described, arriving through the night, crossing the void!

“That is…”

Ed stood stupefied in place.

The Lambert Clan’s Fortress Battleships rumbled low.

In the room on the 17th floor of the business building—

Yu Jin gazed at the streaming light descending from the sky and raised an eyebrow.

At that moment—

In his mind, a fervent, devout female voice echoed.

She called again and again—

“My Lord!”
