Chapter 434 The Difference Between Two Scenes

[Okay—I'll show you all...]

The system's voice sounded weak and listless, as if it had lost all its vitality.

It was still feeling sad about using that precious one-time collectible card, after all, it was a treasure it had worked so hard to obtain!

However, despite its reluctance, the system decided to earnestly fulfill Lin Xiyue's request.

After all, as a responsible system, it cannot fail to live up to the expectations of its host.

[Don't go out. I'm sure you've already noticed; this is a disposable, high-grade protective shield, so don't waste it. I didn't detect the toxin before because there was no energy fluctuation, but now that I've detected it, it's quite easy to check. Wait a moment.]

The system spoke while observing Lin Xiyue's reaction.

When it saw Lin Xiyue looking like she wanted to rush out, it felt a pang of anxiety and quickly spoke up to stop her.

Lin Xiyue was clearly hesitant about the system's words, even though she felt she was fully capable of dealing with any potential dangers outside.

However, the system was well aware of the importance of this advanced protective shield, and it absolutely did not want Lin Xiyue to waste this rare protection due to a momentary impulse.

Left with no other option, the system could only speed up its operations, hoping to complete the inspection as soon as possible so that Lin Xiyue could stay safely inside the protective shield.

It kept its eyes glued to the constantly changing bytes in its field of vision, analyzing every single piece of data with utmost concentration, not daring to relax for even a moment.

[Okay, I found it.]

Time flew by, and just two minutes later, the system's voice sounded again.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiyue, trapped in the same spot and unable to get out, was so exhausted that she sat down on the ground and dozed off.

She was so tired; this series of events had left her no time to rest properly.

Now that her tense nerves have suddenly relaxed, she has managed not to fall into a deep sleep, which is quite remarkable.

In her dazed state, Lin Xiyue heard the system's words, and her body trembled violently, instantly waking her up.

"Huh?! Oh, you found out?"

After understanding what the system said, she immediately widened her eyes and asked eagerly.

[Don't worry, it's probably because not enough toxins have been released yet, and they've been diluted in the air. So, the furthest range I'm currently monitoring is only a sphere with a radius of less than fifty meters.]

The system's response was undoubtedly good news for Lin Xiyue.

"Phew—that's great. How is Amo? I vaguely remember that he and Fei Bo stopped fighting, and both of them were seriously injured."

Remembering what had happened before, Lin Xiyue immediately asked anxiously, her voice revealing obvious anxiety and worry.

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's question, the system hesitated slightly, seemingly unsure how to describe it.

[Hmm... how should I put it? They do look completely still, but... tsk, I don't really know how to put it. Let me show you.]

Finally, it sighed and said.

As soon as the system finished speaking, a picture suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xiyue's eyes.

The footage wasn't single; it was divided into two parts, like two monitors simultaneously playing different scenes.

In the image on the left, Meros stands quietly on the ground, surrounded by a thin layer of black mist, as if his life force is gradually fading away.

His face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, and his tightly closed eyes made it impossible to tell whether he was still conscious.

Opposite him, Philip was also standing in the same spot, with multiple wounds on his body, his entire body soaked in blood.

However, unlike Meros's quietness, Fei Bo's body trembled slightly. His eyes were fixed on Meros, revealing a complex emotion: anger, resentment, and an indescribable fear.

In the image on the left, the figures of Meros and Phibos appear exceptionally large and bizarre, standing opposite each other like two silent sculptures.

Their bodies remained motionless, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

Between them, there was only an empty land and sand and dust blown by the wind swirling in the air.

The entire scene was eerily quiet, without a sound, not even a breath could be heard, and this tranquility gave people an indescribable sense of unease.

In stark contrast to the left, the scene on the right is chilling.

This image appears to display the movement of energy in real time, thus showing a scene that is not visible to the naked eye.

In this scene, energy lines of various colors intertwine and entwine, like a chaotic ball of yarn, dazzling the eye. These energy lines sometimes collide violently, and sometimes devour each other, as if engaged in a fierce struggle.

Lin Xiyue stared intently at the screen, where the locations of Moros and Fibo were clearly outlined by two orbs of light of different colors.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the two orbs of light were not a single entity, but rather composed of countless layers upon layers of tiny orbs of light.

It's like a painting made of mosaic tiles, but unlike ordinary mosaic paintings, this one is three-dimensional, which makes the whole picture look a bit dirty.

Next, Lin Xiyue focused more intently on the image on the right, and she discovered that the image seemed to only display objects with energy.

Because, apart from the orbs of light representing Meros and Phibos, the ground and other objects such as the ruins were not shown in the picture.

However, apart from that, this image contains many more things that are not directly visible to the naked eye than the image on the left.

What was originally just air and dust is now transformed into a scene where countless energies are fiercely battling.

The battle of energy is a fight without visible smoke, yet it is far more dangerous than direct combat.

In this battle without bloodshed, energy devoured each other like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, giving neither side a chance to breathe.

Both Meros and Fibo's faces grew paler and paler, as if their life force was being slowly drained away.

This scene made Lin Xiyue extremely anxious. Her eyes were fixed on Molos, afraid of missing any change in him.

When she saw that Moros's condition was getting worse, Lin Xiyue almost instinctively stood up. She was anxious and just wanted to rush over to help him immediately.

However, just as she was about to take a step, an invisible force suddenly stopped her; it turned out that the protective shield was in effect.

Lin Xiyue's body was blocked by the protective shield, and her impulse was forcibly suppressed at this moment.

As she gradually came to her senses, she realized how reckless her actions had been.
