Activate Willful Power.
[Constitution: 1 Endurance: 1]
[Strength: 1 Agility: 13246]
[Willpower: 1 Charisma: 1]
[Luck: 2020]
Willful Power could be used for 15 seconds, and Fly’s use time would last 15 more seconds. The two aligned.
Whump—whump—whump.
Gao Yang broke the sound barriers at supersonic speed. If not for him giving himself an energy armor with Absolute Defense, his body would’ve torn apart.
Too slow!
Quicker! Much quicker!
Gao Yang's mind screamed, clinging to the naive hope that speed could prevent disaster. He—like all the others racing back—didn't realize that no speed would suffice if it couldn't outpace light itself.
Because no one could catch what had already happened.
...
Twenty minutes earlier, Qilin, Surnamed Li, and Puppet Yellow Lotus stood before the enclosed S Base while Colorless led her team to strike at Dr. Jia.
Qilin leaned on his cane while Yellow Lotus carried Surnamed Li—fifteen minutes of puppet control would suffice for their mission.
Studying the secret door disguised as a damp, dirty wall, Qilin asked softly, "Is this it?"
"I saw it clearly," Surnamed Li whispered. "This is it."
“So this is what you can do with level 7.5 Prophet.” Qilin’s lips curled into a thoughtful half-smile. "Had your Talent reached level 8 earlier, the civil war might have ended long ago."
Surnamed Li's smile held only bitterness. If she'd reached level 8 Prophet, perhaps she could have seen all of fate clearly, preventing every misfortune.
First, the base's current occupants posed minimal threats.
Second, Zhang Wei possessed the Psyche Rune Circuit.
Third, Qilin easily made Zhang Wei submit.
Even Qilin shuddered at these revelations.
Without moving, he'd already won.
The power to see the future chilled him.
Of course, Qilin didn’t trust Surnamed Li fully. That was why he took her with him.
Analyzing the Fate Slides, Surnamed Li identified their optimal moment: 11:16 p.m. on the Lunar New Year's eighth day.
Colorless's attack on Dr. Jia's laboratory would draw away the Nine Scions and Twelve Zodiac Signs, preventing their timely return.
Qilin could claim the Psyche Rune Circuit unopposed, becoming truly invincible.
Now, standing before the wall, Qilin scanned for ambushes. His green eyes flashed as he activated Puppeteer.
Yellow Lotus’ eyes flickered green as she received his command. She took a few steps back with Surnamed Li and caught the cane Qilin threw her.
Qilin stepped forward and struck.
The underground space trembled. Stone fragments exploded outward as his fist punched through fifty centimeters of wall.
He'd combined Amon's Arm Strength with Jing Ke's Bone Growth for that single devastating blow.
Colorless's acquisition of Arm Strength hadn't affected Qilin's access. Instead of true possession, Puppeteer merely borrowed Talents temporarily, similar to Replicate. Once Qilin contracted a corpse, he retained access to its Talents until the puppet expired—whether stored in the corpse or his body.
Qilin wiped his fist with a silk handkerchief. “Did you see this too, Madam Li?”
"Enter," Surnamed Li replied evenly. "The one you most wish to see awaits."
Qilin adjusted his glasses and caught the cane the puppet threw back to him. He stepped over piles of rubles and walked through the dust rising in the aftermath of the wall’s collapse.
