I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 573 150: Entry (4,500 Words)

The first second Black Burial exploded.

The speed of those black lines was incredibly fast, so fast that Yun You couldn't dodge their pursuit even with the power of the mecha's leg thrusters at maximum, so fast that when they stuck to him, the two Tier Four Apprentice Death Gods present—Shen Ye and Vitinya—finally reacted, widening their eyes simultaneously.

"Snap——!"

In an instant, everyone marked by Black Burial was inevitably entangled by the black lines...

Then, they were horrified to discover that the black lines crisscrossed the sky above them, rapidly expanding and growing, gradually engulfing the sky and earth to form a black sphere with a diameter of about 50 kilometers!

From the outside, the entire T District was swallowed by the black sphere, signals were difficult to transmit, and vision could not penetrate the barrier of the black sphere.

Inside and outside the sphere, it seemed like two completely different worlds had been cut apart.

"Damn...!"

Shen Ye's pupils shrank slightly, and the three patterns of the Death God Sequence appeared vividly in his eyes, instantly releasing the power of a Tier Four Apprentice Death God, gathering in his hands.

He grabbed the black line around his waist and abdomen with a fierce tug—

Thud!

In an instant, the black line was like being torn by an ultra-heavy tension machine, the terrifying force even igniting the surrounding tables and garden, forming a web-like crack under Shen Ye's feet.

But the black line itself remained indestructible, showing no sign of damage, nor any hint of being pulled out of shape.

Shen Ye was a bit dazed.

His pure strength could tear apart the special alloy steel plates used by the military, could overpower any ultra-heavy vehicle on land, and could gain the upper hand in a contest of strength with a tank.

But now, facing the black line, he felt his strength, once released, vanished without a trace, as if it were completely absorbed by the black line...

At this moment, he even felt that it wasn't a black line entangling him, but the world itself.

There was simply no way to resist, no way to break free...

"No need to waste your effort, Brother Shen."

Vitinya sighed beside him, looking at his own wrist entangled by the black line, and said helplessly: "This is the Death Domain... No, to be precise, it should be a specialized type of Death Domain world, a manifestation of the inner world, what we commonly call [Cyberspace]."

"The creator of the space far surpasses you and me in power; trying to escape with brute force is simply impossible, at least for us."

Saying this, he turned to look around, casting his gaze over the surroundings where everyone was ensnared by black lines, without exception.

"It seems someone intends to catch us all in one net."

Vitinya squinted slightly, and then his gaze unconsciously wandered toward Shen Ye.

To create such a large-scale Cyberspace, the person behind it certainly spared no effort.

And looking around the entire Starlight Welfare Institute, the only targets worth such a hefty price to eliminate, aside from himself as the Hero of Calamity, would be Shen Ye, Yun You, Lieutenant General Tang Yue, and the newly elected mayor, Mokaka.

He recently hadn't provoked anyone, and Shen Ye had just been defeated in the mayoral election, not worth being schemed against.

Lieutenant General Tang Yue was undoubtedly a prime target, but the problem is the military is no pushover; if someone rashly strikes at a commanding general, even if that person were a giant corporation with deep roots, the military would nonetheless exact fierce revenge.

Thus, the only reasonable targets are Yun You and Mokaka.

And if that indeed is the case, then Shen Ye becomes highly suspicious.

After all, according to Nest City's law, if a mayor dies suddenly without leaving a will naming a successor, the second-place candidate in the election would assume the position.

The saying goes: whoever benefits the most is the prime suspect—in this, Shen Ye could not wash away the suspicion.

But strangely, on Shen Ye's face, Vitinya couldn't see the least bit of relief from a successful scheme, but rather an expression full of surprise and confusion.

"Could it be... he's truly innocent?"

Vitinya squinted his eyes.

However, he didn't think much further, he just took a deep breath, stretched his muscles, and prepared for battle at any moment.

No matter.

Whatever the truth may be, it would be revealed with some investigation inside that Cyberspace.

He too was Old Jin's disciple, and the greatest strength of the Heroes of Calamity was never to succumb to fear or the unknown.

No matter what, they would carve out a path through sheer force with their fists!

The black lines gradually engulfed the two of them entirely.

...

At the dining table, Tang Yue put down the pistol in his hand, no longer attempting to shoot through the black line around his waist.

This thing, even Shen Ye couldn't break free from, and as an aging soldier, he naturally had no way to unravel it.

He could feel the black lines slithering like snakes across his body.

And the parts covered and swallowed had already lost sensation.

He's never experienced Cyberspace, but he clearly knew this was a man-made disaster, not a natural one.

"Looks like someone is eager to stir up the muddy waters of Nest City No. 3."

Tang Yue reluctantly extended a hand, removing the complicated and luxurious officer's uniform, revealing the armor pieces and energy core clinging to his muscles.
