Chapter 292 Bad Boy
Chapter 292 Bad Boy
"So, Zeta might have just been transferred to another location, or perhaps he's trapped in some kind of space?"
"Pretty much. At the epicenter of the explosion, I saw a circle of light appear, and Zeta was sucked in and then disappeared."
"I had already cut the chaotic energy in half, and with Zeta's protection, its power wouldn't get out of control. It's just that I don't understand chaos at all, and I have no clue where Zeta was taken."
Night falls, but there is no peace outdoors.
The shockwave coming from the direction of the ruins triggered panic among humans and monsters, and then more and more terrifying news spread.
Skeletons crawling out of the ground, ghosts appearing out of nowhere, and foul-smelling, eerie cracks spreading in all directions—people have no idea what caused these strange phenomena.
Everyone is still focused on fighting against the otherworldly forces. The guild leader hasn't given them any new orders, and the Mage Guild doesn't know how to handle the current situation.
While Haruki's return as a hero is certainly good news, the devastating news of Muban being consumed by energy backlash has intensified the panic in people's hearts.
Sean and Zhao Yu ran around explaining everything to everyone and trying to find ways to maintain the current social order.
He had already explained what happened to Haruki to Sean and Zhaoyu, and they weren't going to pursue it too much. The most important thing now was to find a way to restore his transformation and find Zeta.
"Then how do we find Zeta? Belial-san, can you travel through space and bring Zeta back?"
“Cut through space is a small matter, but I don’t know where Zeta is. The universe is so vast, and space is endless. Without Zeta’s location, I don’t know how long it would take to find him one by one.”
The situation remained perplexing. The mixing of life and death auras unexpectedly caused a chaotic explosion, disrupting all of Haruki and his companions' plans.
Unable to transform, Zeta lost, Muban still rampant, Haruki lost the strength to contend with Muban's undead army, and the world's sense of crisis suddenly intensified to a level that no one could have predicted.
"How about we ask Senior Max for help? Could we ask the Land of Light to help us find Zeta?"
"Huh? You want me to beg those guys? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"I would rather die than bow down to those lunatics."
Yao Hui was too anxious. He wanted to do everything he could to find Zeta. At that moment, Muban's power was overwhelmingly terrifying, and no one knew what terrible things he might do next.
"This isn't the time to talk about saving face, Belial! Zeta disappeared to protect me, and I have to find a way to bring him back, please!"
What will you do if I leave?
"If Muban controls those humans again and captures you, how am I supposed to save you? Muban even dares to kill his own 'children,' do you think he'll let you go?"
Belial Twilight didn't want to argue with Haruki, who was currently lacking in rationality. Zeta's disappearance had been too much of a blow for him, and he wouldn't be able to recover anytime soon.
Haruki became anxious and obsessed with achievements. He was so focused on saving Zeta that he even forgot about his own safety.
The outdoor commotion subsided considerably, and Sean and Zhaoyu's persuasion had been effective.
The hero's confusion, coupled with the guild leader's betrayal, has turned the entire Magician's Guild into a disorganized mess. Belial Twilight doesn't expect that rabble to be of any use.
"So, does that mean we can find Zeta as long as we find the signal?"
"If a medium is needed, I know something that would be perfect."
After confirming that Elifa was safe and sound, Luo Yi approached Yao Hui and Belial to discuss the next steps of the Twilight Plan.
Muban has completely gone mad. Luo Yi wouldn't be satisfied even if he threw him into outer space. If he could, Luo Yi would definitely make Muban wish he were dead.
"What's your plan? Tell me quickly!"
"Remember the sublimator? I think we can re-establish contact with Zeta if we can get that thing back."
Yao Hui's excitement made Belial Twilight feel disdainful, as he did not think that Luo Yi's eloquent talk had any real effect.
Beria still wanted to rush out and kill Muban at dusk.
"If Zeta is gone, what's the use of the Riser? Without Zeta, you can't use the Riser to become Ultraman, and you can't use the Ultra Medal."
"This plan won't work."
“The Riser alone won’t work. What I mean is to use the Riser as a medium to reconnect with Zeta. We only need some external assistance to find out where Zeta is.”
Luo Yi reached out and summoned his black aura, infusing it with life force through the energy of the Courageous Pure Crystal.
The circle of light reappeared before Haruki's eyes, just as it had the first time he and Zeta had seen it.
"The summoning circle is still effective, and the life force is still sufficient. After retrieving the Ascendant, we can replicate the first interdimensional summoning. With the Ascendant binding Zeta's relationship, we can find his location no matter where Zeta is."
"Even if we can't summon her back, we can use this opportunity to find out Zeta's coordinates. Then, we can just have Belial Twilight bring Zeta back..."
"Luo Yi, you're amazing!"
Overwhelmed by emotion, Yao Hui let his feelings run wild. Before Luo Yi could even finish speaking, he rushed over and hugged him to express his gratitude.
Having been in close contact with Yongyi Junjing for a long time, Yaohui's body was covered with the aura of life. The close contact made Luo Yi feel very gentle, and he liked this feeling very much.
"Alright, alright, you two, let's get down to business."
Belial, who didn't understand human emotions, pulled the two apart at dusk. He just wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible; grudges and grievances could wait until everything was settled.
"So how do you plan to get the sublimator back from Muban? By simply stealing it?"
"It's not impossible."
"Are you kidding me! How do you plan to fight that huge horde of undead monsters? All by yourself? You must be out of your mind."
"No, no, no, you need to understand, Mr. Beria, the one who is truly alone is not me, but Muban."
When Luo Yi gets serious, his wartime thinking is surprisingly sharp. No wonder Grandi trusts him so much. Yao Hui is a little confused. Was Luo Yi just playing around when he was going against him before?
Luo Yi was definitely just playing around. It was a rare opportunity to interact with a legendary hero, so naturally he wouldn't let any chance slip by.
But it was different with Muban; he was an incurable madman, and Luo always felt a deep disgust for him.
"Even if Muban has great power, he only has himself. If he wants to fight, he must personally command. Once he appears on the front line, the rear will be wide open."
“As long as I put enough pressure on him on the front lines and force Muban to confront me face to face, then this is your chance, Mr. Beria. Breaking through undefended areas and retrieving the Zeta Riser will not be a problem.”
"A sneak attack from behind... that's a bit underhanded and not like me."
"This is a feint, sir. Besides, we're going to reclaim what rightfully belongs to us, and incidentally punish that scoundrel Muban. We're acting on behalf of Heaven."
"You really are a bad boy, hahaha, but I like it."
