Chapter 650: Omega-Class Aberration - King of the Cloud Sea

It turned out that Emperor Qin and Dr. Long had already taken action when the King of the Cloud Sea was still in its formative stage. The two worked together to disrupt the cloud whale's shadow and then drove it out of the planet.

In the face of a common enemy, both sides ultimately put aside their disputes.

The process of driving it out went relatively smoothly, with the Dragon Vein ensuring that nothing went wrong.

Afterward, both sides temporarily ceased their hostilities. Qin Muye guessed that both needed a way to back down, as they had been fighting for so long that their tempers were nearly exhausted. However, both were too proud to be the first to speak up.

The issue of the King of the Cloud Sea became a good way out, and the next step would definitely be to start cleaning up the containment failures of the aberrations.

For now, they could only temporarily stop the fighting, but this was limited to this moment.

"Emperor Qin and Dr. Long working together should bring some peace for a while," Sun Zhen said, thinking that even a small change could bring a glimmer of hope to a future that seemed utterly hopeless.

Whether Emperor Qin won or the Global Guardians Organization won, the future of humanity would continue.

Therefore, he was now considering whether to end the time reversal and stay here. The further back in time, the more dangerous it became, and more importantly, it consumed Qin Muye's lifespan. If it were his own lifespan, Sun Zhen would hesitate not at all to continue the time reversal, but burning someone else's lifespan, even to save the world, made him feel uneasy.

"The peace will only be temporary. Even with Emperor Qin's help, the Global Guardians Organization can't solve the problem of all the out-of-control aberrations worldwide."

"To be honest, I'm surprised the entire Global Guardians Organization hasn't collapsed yet."

Qin Muye also noticed the change in Sun Zhen's mindset. Without hope, one would grit their teeth and charge forward, but with a glimmer of hope, there would naturally be hesitation.

The other's thoughts were understandable, but Qin Muye couldn't stop. He didn't know how much information the main body had grasped about the Information Sea, but he was sure that a month and a half was definitely not enough.

It had already been determined that it would take about three months to exhaust the Information Sea, and they couldn't afford to stop now.

These words naturally stirred Sun Zhen. There was indeed a glimmer of hope, but it was just a glimmer, and it didn't mean they would succeed. Emperor Qin was still a threat.

Therefore, he naturally reined in his thoughts of stopping. If there was a better solution, there was no need to take the risk, as failure would make things even worse.

"I understand. We'll have to trouble you further," Sun Zhen said, giving an account of his decision.

Qin Muye was relatively satisfied with this, at least Sun Zhen was listening to reason.

At this moment, the cloud whale's flesh had withered into a pool of black, emitting a strong stench, and its originally stiff bones had shattered.

Clearly, everything had been devoured by the King of the Cloud Sea.

There was still one hour before the time-reversal pocket watch's cooldown period was over. In the sky, a massive shadow blocked the light.

"The King of the Cloud Sea is back!" Sun Zhen looked up and immediately saw the enormous figure. As one of the perpetrators, it seemed the King of the Cloud Sea had left a mark of revenge on him, a mark that was bidirectional, allowing both the King of the Cloud Sea and the mark's owner to sense each other.

"We were hasty. Emperor Qin and Dr. Long did drive the King of the Cloud Sea into space, but there are no clouds there, and even if there were similar ones, they wouldn't be as close as here. Without a place to rest, it came back," Qin Muye knew that the King of the Cloud Sea was a much larger cloud whale with the same habits.

As for whether a nebula counts as a cloud, it probably doesn't, or else the King of the Cloud Sea wouldn't have returned. This wasn't something Qin Muye could decide.

Therefore, even if the King of the Cloud Sea was driven away, it would return, as its home was here. The only way to prevent this would be to destroy all the cloud layers.

If there hadn't been such a large-scale containment failure, this wouldn't have been a big issue for the Global Guardians Organization, but now it was different. The King of the Cloud Sea had decided to settle in, and Emperor Qin and Dr. Long had just returned to their respective places without taking immediate action. If it had come back right after being driven away, they would have acted again, but an hour had passed.

Thus, both sides were watching. The King of the Cloud Sea had indeed returned, but so far, there had been no movement, and they had no better way to handle the situation.

"Fortunately, we can reverse time; otherwise, we would have a real headache," Sun Zhen said with some relief.

The King of the Cloud Sea might not be the strongest Omega-Class Aberration, but it was definitely one of the most dangerous. Not only could it affect the global climate, but any dissatisfaction could lead to it lashing out at the ground, causing catastrophic damage to all continental plates.

"You shouldn't be too relieved. The mass death of the cloud whale herd is still an unresolved issue."

"Each cloud whale is an Alpha-Class Aberration, and even if the extinction of the herd didn't create the King of the Cloud Sea, it would still cause significant chaos."

Qin Muye added sarcastically.

The cloud whale herd in the Dragon Vein Cloud Fog Sea had been confirmed to have been slaughtered, leading to the subsequent problems. The cloud whale Sun Zhen killed was just the catalyst.

Moreover, the time of the mass slaughter was likely not today. The wounds on the cloud whale's body had partially healed, indicating that the event happened several days ago.

Cloud whales did not have the ability to heal or regenerate instantly; their recovery took time. Additionally, the wounds might have been suppressed by some force, meaning the event could have occurred even earlier.

"It was probably the Global Guardians Organization that did it. Ordinary methods wouldn't be effective against the cloud whale herd," Sun Zhen said, being realistic and not considering other possibilities.

"They must have done something that forced the Global Guardians Organization to take action. Otherwise, they would have focused on containment."

Sun Zhen watched the King of the Cloud Sea solidifying within the cloud layer, feeling no terrifying pressure, but rather a sense of watching a 3D projection.

"Stop staring. You need to think about how to handle the mark left by the cloud whale you killed. It's likely that you can't remove it, and you'll be carrying a black pot," Qin Muye said.

This mark wouldn't disappear with time reversal, and it might even cause bugs. The cloud whale he killed was still alive yesterday, and Qin Muye guessed that the mark on Sun Zhen might be even stronger. If the person who slaughtered the herd had a killing mark, Sun Zhen had a mark of genocide.

If they really returned to three months ago and encountered a cloud whale, the whale would be confused, wondering how it could be alive and yet dead, along with its entire family.

As for removing the mark, it was quite difficult. The main body might have a way, but a clone like Qin Muye did not have that capability.

"Don't worry. As long as I'm careful, there won't be any major issues," Sun Zhen said confidently. He was close to retirement and planned to switch to a clerical position in a few years. As long as he stayed in the Global Guardians Organization's base, he wouldn't have to worry about the cloud whale seeking trouble.

By his estimation, after years of hard work, he could probably live to his sixties or seventies. The powers of Cat Star did not extend his lifespan; instead, using them burned his lifespan. Most extraordinary powers worked this way.

Sun Zhen's situation was similar. He didn't have the corresponding energy, like a mage needing mana to cast spells. If there was no mana but the spell could still be cast, it meant using other forms of energy, such as one's own life force.

Sun Zhen's situation was precisely this. There were no cultivation methods in this world to generate special energy, so it all came down to enduring.

However, the other zodiacs could bypass this limitation, which was a special case. Their lifespans were not normal human lifespans, likely due to being altered by aberrations, allowing them to ignore the lifespan cost of extraordinary powers.

Dr. Long, being in harmony with the Dragon Vein, could live longer and possess the same power as the First Emperor, but the price he paid was probably high, more severe than the typical lifespan reduction from extraordinary powers.

Sometimes, death was the best outcome. Living wasn't always better, given the concept of "living in misery."

"It seems we won't get to see the King of the Cloud Sea fully form," Qin Muye said, looking at the massive creature in the clouds, somewhat wistfully.
