Wasteland's Only King

Tasha was momentarily stunned.

And at this very moment.

In her heart, Tolin McKinley’s urgent shout suddenly echoed.

“Dodge quickly!”

“Quickly!!”

In this urgent cry, there was an overwhelming hysteria.

“Dodge?”

Tasha was even more bewildered.

But out of instinct, she clasped her hands together, using her strongest defensive ability.

Bang——!

A muffled groan suddenly sounded.

It came from…

Inside her body.

“?”

Tasha’s movements froze, she looked down blankly.

Did she…

explode?

Bang——!

In the starry sky.

Scarlet fireworks bloomed.

The second most powerful being of the Serenity Civilization, leader of the Second Army Group, Tier Nineteen Evolver Tasha, deceased.

“Wuhu——!”

“Invincible!”

“The Lord is mighty!”

“My god, I couldn’t even see how he made his move!”

“Invincible, absolutely invincible!”

“…”

Within the Dawn Fortress, over a hundred million subordinates erupted in cheers and shouts.

Meanwhile, in the starry sky.

Tasha was utterly annihilated, turning into void.

Not far away.

Laine’s pupils contracted tightly, his scalp tingling.

Tolin McKinley and others, their hands and feet were cold, their hearts shrouded in immense despair!

At that moment.

Not only Tasha didn’t see when and how the other party made their move.

But rather…

They also didn’t see it clearly!

In their field of vision.

Yu Jin, after “taking” Tasha’s strike, collapsed on the spot.

Then…

Tasha herself exploded from inside out in an instant!

“How did he do it…”

Tolin McKinley’s eyes widened, his heart pounding wildly.

As for Laine, the leader, he quietly retreated two steps, shielding the others behind him.

Laine was scared.

This unfamiliar emotion that hadn’t surfaced for a long time now completely engulfed him.

“Not bad.”

Yu Jin’s voice rang again.

Along with the voice, a figure stepped out from the void.

Just a moment ago.

Yu Jin used his newly awakened attribute ability.

[Attribute: Echo]

[Tier Nine Ability: Echo Strike]

[Active Effect: Reflect the opponent’s attack back at a certain ratio]

[Full-Level Effect: 100% reflection rate]

[Awakening Effect: Reflection is unavoidable]

[Tier Twenty Effect: Reflection rate increases from 100% to 200%]

Therefore.

Tasha’s death wasn’t due to Yu Jin making a move.

In a sense, she “committed suicide”.

Of course.

The Echo attribute ability doesn’t mean Yu Jin himself can be immune to attacks.

Tasha’s earlier strike did indeed hit Yu Jin.

Yu Jin didn’t dodge, wanting to test another new attribute: [Void].

The ability description of the Void attribute is—

Turn oneself into void, immune to attacks not exceeding one’s value limit.

Solely examining this ability, it’s very strong, but not overly powerful.

But…

Yu Jin’s value limit is the Tier Twenty limit, it’s a billion, it’s the upper limit of the Star System Wasteland server.

In other words.

As long as it’s within the Star System Wasteland server, unless an entity more overpowering than the server’s limit emerges, Yu Jin can easily be immune to any attack!

Of course.

Even without this new attribute “Void,” Yu Jin could achieve the same result—the dimensional space ability of the Spatial Attribute could accomplish that.

“The more attributes, the more abilities, the more combo combinations…”

“I still need to explore and practice more.”

Yu Jin reflected on the recent battle, muttering to himself.

Not far away.

Laine and the others, upon seeing Yu Jin emerge, involuntarily trembled slightly.

They couldn’t comprehend—

Why did the other party not only have thousands of super large fortresses, but the Lord’s extraordinary might is also so terrifying.

Such strength, by logic, should never be obscure in the star system.

Not to mention comparing to the Serenity Civilization, even with the Celestial God Civilization, there is definitely enough power to challenge them!

“Serenity has hit the iron plate…”

“99999k Pure Titanium Alloy Iron Plate!”

Tolin McKinley muttered incessantly.

His psychological defense had already shattered the moment Tasha exploded.

“Continue!”

Yu Jin didn’t care what Tolin McKinley and others thought.

He just wanted to test more attribute abilities.

“Run!”

Laine turned and ran, as if he had made some kind of decision!

He came with great momentum, and left in a hurry.

At this moment.

As the Civilization Lord, he had one sole thought—escape from the clutches of this demon alive!

Civilization?

Fortress?

Warship?

Insignificant now!

Tasha’s strength is slightly weaker than his, but they are still on par.

If Tasha could be effortlessly killed without leaving a trace, so could he!

“?”

Tolin McKinley and the others stared blankly as the figure in front of them suddenly vanished.

They turned their heads in unison.

Only to discover…

Laine had already shuttled thousands of miles away, transforming into a stream of light, fleeing towards the starry sky battlefield on the fortress’s perimeter!

“Hmm?”

“Come and go as you please?”

“I won’t allow it.”

Yu Jin chuckled softly and spoke leisurely.

As soon as the words fell.

He reached out and lightly pointed forward into the void.

Buzz—!

Waves swept across the star river.

A black hole was born out of thin air.

“!!!”

Laine, who was unleashing all his energy to shuttle with all his might, didn’t even have time to resist, and was swallowed by the black hole that suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Space + Black Hole.”

“That’s quite a combination!”

Yu Jin nodded, expressing satisfaction with this experiment.

Swish—

He waved his hand.

A brand new black hole condensed in front of Tolin McKinley and the others.

Boom—!

Laine was roughly thrown out, as if by an invisible hand…

“Continue!”

“This time, you’re not allowed to run away.”

Yu Jin’s voice echoed again in the starry sky.

Laine, Tolin McKinley, and the others fell into utter despair!

…

…

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye.

Half a day had passed.

The star river battlefield had already come to an end.

After the fourth wave of training and the collective surprise attack by Laine and the other leaders, all the troops of Dawn Fortress were fully deployed.

A total of five thousand super large fortresses besieged the seven major armies of Serenity.

On the outer edges of the battlefield.

The three Odin Sky Battleships, long hidden in the void, completely sealed off the entire starry sky, cutting off any possibility of warp escape.

The situation on the battlefield became a one-sided crush.

And in the starry sky region surrounding Dawn Fortress.

Yu Jin also tried almost all of his newly awakened attribute abilities on Laine and the others.

Laine attempted to resist.

Laine’s resistance failed.

Tolin McKinley, on the other hand, accepted his fate early on.

Interestingly.

Some of Serenity’s high-tier Evolvers, upon recognizing the absolute disparity in strength, even expressed a desire to defect to Dawn Fortress.

“Abandon the darkness and join the light!”

“Loyal to the great you!”

Ten or so Evolvers shouted, all Tier Eighteen, and there was even a Tier Nineteen, the leader of Serenity’s Sixth Army.

Then…

These ten-plus people were swallowed by black holes.

And were never seen again.

At present, Dawn Fortress indeed lacks talent.

But the prerequisite is talent, not disloyal subjects.

“Almost there.”

Yu Jin waved his hand.

Boom—!

Laine and the others fell from the void.

Their auras still appeared stable.

The energy within them was extremely abundant.

This was because Yu Jin used a new attribute, ’Charging,’ to forcibly ’charge them up’ before each experimental ability, maximizing the experiment effect.

This very act became the final straw that broke Laine and the others.

At this moment.

Laine, the dignified Civilization Lord, had eyes that were dark and devoid of light.

The experiences of the past half day.

Made him truly see the horror of the youth before him.

Such horror…

In Laine’s mind, was at a height even the Celestial God Civilization Lord could not reach.

“Almost there.”

“Thank you all for your cooperation.”

Yu Jin looked at Laine and the others, smiling gently.

“It’s over…”

Laine and the other Tier Eighteen and Nineteen Evolvers felt a sense of relief upon hearing Yu Jin’s words.

At the same time.

The long-lost survival instinct surged within them.

Perhaps…

There was still a path to life for them.

Swish—

The next second.

A light flashed beside Yu Jin.

A young man with glasses and a gentle demeanor appeared.

“Leave it to you?”

Yu Jin looked at the young man and spoke softly.

“Leave it to me!”

“This part of the knowledge…”

“Might fill the current talent gap in Dawn Fortress.”

The young man was none other than Wu Yufei, who had awakened the ’Knowledge’ attribute.

“Talent gap?”

Laine looked confused upon hearing this.

And then.

He heard Yu Fei mumbling something—

“Contribute your brains, no, knowledge, to Dawn Fortress!”
