Chapter 780: Out of Control
Chapter 780: Out of Control
The Deviant's full-force attack was unable to destroy the spatial anomaly.
However, his skill, when unleashed with all his might, could alter the state of the anomaly, guiding it towards an uncontrollable and chaotic state of life.
The Seventh Stage Awakened beings present at the scene:
Individually, they were no match for the will barrier that guarded the world's core, a rule established by the formidable power of the Righteous One, akin to an insurmountable chasm.
But when they attacked together, their combined might managed to breach the barrier left by the ancient Righteous One, creating a gap.
At this moment, this 'cooperation' appeared once more.
Several distorted personal rules intertwined, and with their combined strength, they successfully destroyed the altered anomaly.
The distorted fleshy mass rapidly collapsed in the air, falling into the void below.
It looked like a blood shower, with 'hail' of various sizes mixed within.
"..."
The terrifying scene left everyone speechless.
The once tense atmosphere in the sky above the world's core gradually relaxed.
Even the Seventh Stage Awakened beings, who had held their breath in anticipation, now exhaled in relief.
The Core Pillar represented the stability of the rules within the Dust Path World.
If it were destroyed, no one, not even an Eighth Stage being like Clearsky, would dare claim they could survive.
This was a catastrophe that everyone had endured together.
However, the Awakened beings quickly shifted their attention back to the Deviant.
The struggle for treasure and the destruction of artifacts were rules they all abided by.
But when the very existence of the world was threatened, it became a situation that no one could tolerate.
The Deviant, having endangered everyone's lives, must now face the corresponding wrath!
Some were also very curious.
What kind of Awakened being would risk their life for such a small gain?
"..."
At the same time, Lindsey, who was closest to the Core Pillar, breathed a sigh of relief.
He clearly saw the mark symbolizing the uncontrolled life on the strategic map skill disappearing.
"Since the Core Pillar is safe..."
Lindsey didn't finish his sentence.
The breath he had just released was immediately drawn back in.
For within the collapsing and scattering fleshy mass in front of him, a new power was erupting.
This time, it was neither the Deviant's corrupting venom nor Clearsky's hurricane.
Instead, it was an unruly and chaotic spatial fluctuation, erupting from within and rapidly spreading outward!
"Is it spatial teleportation?"
"It stopped earlier, and now it's starting again? But it was already destroyed... No, this spatial current is too violent; it's not functioning normally!"
Lindsey's eyes narrowed.
Being in the core area of the Dust Path World, he had experienced chaotic spatial teleportation numerous times before.
But this time, it wasn't a stable transfer like before.
Instead, it was more intense, even breaking through some extreme rules and becoming a dangerous transformation!
"I understand now!"
"Previously, the state distortion prevented the power from being released, but now that the anomaly has been damaged, these forces are erupting from within!"
A bitter smile crept onto Lindsey's lips.
His next thought was of self-protection.
As the person closest to the Core Pillar, Lindsey was the first to face the full brunt of the spatial turbulence.
Spatial concepts were not something one could defend against in close combat.
Swords and blades clashing could not cancel out these forces.
The tearing of space itself was incredibly difficult for ordinary beings to defend against, and it was undoubtedly a deadly crisis!

Lindsey immediately activated his skill.
Before his very eyes, the chaotic space-time order was slowly encroaching upon him.
He quickly scanned through his skills and equipment.
Should he transform into an elemental being with the Ancient Tree or Extreme Cold enchantment?
No, that won't work.
Elemental transformation only alters one's structure; it won't protect against the tearing forces of space.
"Ah, right, this one!"
Lindsey quickly found the Datafication skill from the RPG module, and he selected the Portal music for his BGM, which could stabilize his teleportation state.
Protected by these two skills, Lindsey equipped another item.
[Equipment/Material: Multi-Functional Survival Gear]
A versatile armor with various functions, suitable for all environments. When equipped, all attributes increase by 3, and the wearer gains multiple survival effects. It can also be used as a material to craft other items.
Oxygen Supply - Provides half an hour of independent oxygen, automatically replenishing upon contact with oxygen-rich air.
Isolation - Excellent environmental isolation, immune to toxic gases and other environmental damage.
Illumination - Non-discriminate lighting within a 5-meter radius.
Swift Swimming - Increases swimming speed underwater.
Lightning Resistance - Thunder will not strike the wearer during rainy weather, or actively defend against a total of 3 times against lightning-attributed attacks. Defense slowly regenerates over time.
Enhanced Digging - Increases digging speed and distance.
Slow Descent - Reduces falling speed from heights, with some control over direction.
Waste Disposal - Waste management.
Adrenaline Boost - Provides 5 powerful adrenaline injections during critical moments. This effect cannot be restored manually and requires Adrenaline Boost potions to replenish.
[A highly valuable armor with numerous functions, capable of adapting to various extreme conditions.]
Although Lindsey wasn't sure if it could withstand the tearing of space, the Multi-Functional Survival Gear's description did mention adapting to various special environments.
"I don't care if it's useful or not, I'll equip it anyway!"
"..."
"Huh?"
Lindsey continued scanning through his skills and equipment at top speed.
After all, this attack wouldn't differentiate between friend or foe, and what he was about to face was an unprecedented spatial tear! But Lindsey hadn't found another item that could help him yet.
As he stood in mid-air, he suddenly felt a gentle force appear behind him, instantly wrapping around his body.
"..."
In his Focus Mode, Lindsey slowly turned his head.
Among the group of Seventh Stage Awakened desperately trying to protect themselves, he saw Leafaya using her Command Ability, covering Lindsey with her power.
The Organizer's memory gave her an advantage in this situation.
Since Lindsey had once been under Leafaya's jurisdiction, she searched and finally found this connection, instantly extending her ability to cover Lindsey.
This was also why Lindsey, in his Focus Mode, could sense her protection arriving.
"..."
Lindsey couldn't understand Leafaya's intentions.
Just then, the chaotic space-time order touched Lindsey's body, and he naturally exited his Focus Mode.
Before the space-time in front of him completely descended into chaos, Atmospheric Perception sent a gentle breeze into Lindsey's ear.
The Seventh Stage Organizer's lips slowly curled into a disdainful, relieved, yet reassuring smile.
"My dear brother, we'll meet again later."
