I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 1581 - 1116: Retreat (Part 2)

The black liquid flowed strangely, covering Zheng Yichen’s face, as his features gradually flattened under its coverage, and his missing arm was filled in by the black liquid.

Silent yet rampant oblivion continuously spread over him, like a virus extending in all directions.

Inside the Dusk Cathedral, Tia stood at the entrance, gazing at the dark sky.

The oblivion pointed out by Zheng Yichen left a "long river" across space.

In this world, from now on, the trace of oblivion will always exist, becoming a forbidden zone near the heart-core planet.

This oblivion will not spread, and it’s not even the original oblivion, so long as no one recklessly approaches, there won’t be any issues.

However, the person who released this oblivion remains, and if they actively strike the heart-core planet, it may indeed lead to true oblivion.

As for the destruction of the heart-core planet, it may cause the world’s collapse, but it will not immediately trigger oblivion. If Zheng Yichen initiates it, oblivion will appear instantly.

If the Boundary Breakers forcibly destroy the heart-core planet, Zheng Yichen will not use oblivion so simply; instead, the destruction-induced oblivion will be accelerated by him.

By then, with the world filled with oblivion, even the escape routes of the Boundary Breakers will be cut off, not allowing a single one to escape.

After preserving the heart-core planet, they’ll instead have adequate escape routes.

However, Zheng Yichen’s excessive use of oblivion now, has led to some mental confusion.

Let’s see what he does next...

"What to do?" Gazing at the "stars" filling the sky, Zheng Yichen now felt a strong impulse to clear things away.

This universe was too dazzling; for someone steeped in oblivion and darkness, it was unbearable.

To clear... How to clear... Huh?

Hearing nothing, Zheng Yichen saw the heart-core planet. In the vista of oblivion, the light emanating from the planet was not bright, yet it connected to all "lights."

The heart-core planet was akin to the tail of Rupert’s Tear.

The front of Rupert’s Tear boasted extremely high strength, difficult to shatter, even capable of stopping bullets, but the tail would collapse completely if lightly pinched.

The heart-core planet was such an existence.

Just pinch and explode the planet—

A pitch-black figure descended from the sky, and a twilight-colored marker appeared clearly in Zheng Yichen’s vision where it shouldn’t exist.

The twilight marker became the only anomaly in Zheng Yichen’s view, an unwanted color stirring his immersive thoughts slightly.

A hint of weak fear emerged, the unwarranted emotion completely shattered his immersed thoughts.

With oblivion about to land, Zheng Yichen abruptly changed direction, leaving a black trace of oblivion in his wake, which quickly shrank as he moved.

Ultimately, Zheng Yichen reached into that unwanted color.

Crack.

Zheng Yichen, whose hearing was devoid of sound, heard new noises for the first time: a cracking sound issued from himself, followed by intense pain in his face and shoulder.

"Damn—" Hardly ever swearing, Zheng Yichen lay on the ground, sliding a distance due to remaining flight momentum.

His once resilient body was now exceptionally weak, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground, as a pair of small feet stopped before him.

Lying on the ground, Zheng Yichen raised his head, seeing a blur: "Tia?"

"It’s me."

A hand lifted Zheng Yichen up.

Tia calmly observed Zheng Yichen, the youth’s face now blurred, as if the facial features had been completely erased.

The missing arms hadn’t regenerated despite regenerative abilities, with his clothes heavily damaged and a faint black shadow of a cat anxiously circling beside him.

Lilith hadn’t appeared, not because she didn’t want to, but because Zheng Yichen’s oblivion severed God’s Core’s connection with the outside world.

"..." The outside noises were unclear to Zheng Yichen; all he heard was piercing cacophony, threatening to penetrate his eardrums at any time.

Seeing Zheng Yichen devoid of expression, Tia carried him into Dusk Territory, where the Dusk nuns all turned to look.

Eyeing Tia’s next moves, this Dusk nun directly placed Zheng Yichen onto a chair, then left, her casual conduct seemingly signaling something.

The Dusk nuns here also withdrew their gaze, continuing their ’respective’ tasks.

The remaining Dusk mercenaries here cautiously eyed the ’faceless’ Zheng Yichen, aware of no possibility of conflict within Dusk Territory.

Yet what Zheng Yichen did now was somewhat unsettling, especially since he was brought in by a Dusk nun.

Some saw clearly that when Zheng Yichen charged over, he seemed ready to destroy Dusk Territory.

However, upon reaching Dusk Territory, the black shell covering Zheng Yichen simply dissolved, his entire body bleeding profusely as he slid before Tia.

This should be an offense against Dusk Territory, right?

Though he didn’t act directly inside Dusk Territory, it also counted as hitting Dusk, didn’t it?

Yet Tia didn’t eliminate Zheng Yichen as might be expected, but instead carried him into Dusk Territory, placing him in a specific spot.

Even though she did nothing else afterward, leaving him be, this was still unusually special treatment.

Abandoned as if deceased, but in Dusk Territory, bodies would be dealt with, the Dusk nun showed no intention of disposing of him.

It meant the Proxy Agent was still living up to this moment.

The Dusk nun’s attitude of simply leaving him here seemed to presage death.

As time passed, the sitting Zheng Yichen gradually began recovering.

This happened a week later, noises began around Zheng Yichen’s ears, which soon disappeared.

Zheng Yichen couldn’t see anything, merely waiting silently for recovery.

In his personal perception, it hadn’t felt long, but once vision restored, hearing normalized, he wanted to slam the table instantly.

Yet he touched nothing, his arm areas were empty, only able to mentally swing his arms.

"Boss, great, you’ve finally recovered." Lilith’s voice immediately transmitted, Zheng Yichen endured the agonizing pain.

He felt his bones on the brink of breaking, every blink brought intense headache.

"How much time has passed?"

"Not long, a week." Lilith immediately responded, during this time she attempted to awaken Zheng Yichen, yet upon confirming his mental state, ceased such actions.

Oblivion’s aftermath made Zheng Yichen find accepting external sounds quite difficult.

She had been waiting until he reached a certain recovery level to communicate.

A week’s time, actually, restored him quickly; without the mastery of Life Creation strength, he could have remained here for years without recovery.

"Hmm... How’s everyone else?"

"All fine, when Boss used oblivion, God’s Core already self-sealed, we weren’t affected." Lilith reported their state.

Zheng Yichen’s God’s Core contained internal space, which, when sealed, prevented oblivion’s impact, at least until Zheng Yichen’s vessel was completely taken over by oblivion, they wouldn’t be affected.

Due to such sealing, Lilith couldn’t obtain external information, nor communicate with Zheng Yichen.

The ability to converse with Zheng Yichen only emerged four days prior, after God’s Core unsealed, enabling her to access outside information and talk to Zheng Yichen, though he couldn’t communicate back then.

She could only ascertain the external environment, during this period, some Dusk mercenaries tried engaging, but to no avail.

Had Zheng Yichen’s body not been detected gradually recovering, Lilith might have resorted to extreme measures for his revival.
