Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Once Wu Di had moved more than 800 meters away from Zhang Ye, he raised both hands toward him. With a light shout, countless tiny points of light suddenly appeared around him.

There were so many of them—it was like someone had blown out a flood of rainbow-colored bubbles. Densely packed, they floated upward quickly, almost blanketing the entire dueling field.

Moments later, the glowing particles flew toward Zhang Ye and gathered around him.

Zhang Ye watched them cautiously, but they didn’t explode right away.

Instead, they formed a massive bubble-like cloud around him, creating a spherical formation with a radius of 800 meters!

Wu Di looked at Zhang Ye and muttered to himself, “This move was made just for you. It’s called Drifters—Bubble Mirage. There are 300,000 micro floating cannons in total, and the explosions will continue for two minutes!”

“This time, even with your weird spatial ability, there’s no way you can defend against it!”

Although he had miniaturized the floating cannons into tiny particles, their destructive power remained formidable.

Wu Di wasn’t trying to kill Zhang Ye—he just wanted to leave him looking like a total mess. That alone would be his victory!

Because he could still use this move three more times.

“Blow!!”

Without wasting a word, the moment the bubble cloud was fully formed, Wu Di began detonating the micro floating cannons in sequence!

Three hundred thousand particles exploded one after another, covering an 800-meter radius. Even if Zhang Ye wanted to escape, there was nowhere to run!

Even hiding in a different dimension would only buy him about a minute.

In other words, this move was nearly impossible for Zhang Ye to dodge!

The explosions lit up the scene with dazzling flashes of light, like countless soap bubbles popping under the sun!

Everyone stared at the scene, desperate to see how Zhang Ye would respond to such an overwhelming attack.

Even masters like Deng Shentong and Bai Li Changqing thought this was nearly impossible to avoid. The only way was to take it head-on with an extremely powerful defense.

But Zhang Ye wasn’t a strength-type Variant. He didn’t have that kind of terrifying defense.

While his training suit could protect his body, the damage it registered would still count directly toward determining whether he lost the match.

Even Zhang Ye’s most confident supporters—Uncle You and Liang Yue—couldn’t help but change their expressions when they saw Wu Di’s move.

“This move was tailor-made just for Zhang Ye!”

Only now did they realize why Zhang Ye kept his abilities so tightly under wraps, not even revealing the full picture to those close to him.

Because once someone figured out your power, they could also pinpoint your weaknesses—and exploit them ruthlessly.

Even a high-level Delta Variant could suffer heavy losses if targeted with the right methods!

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the dueling field.

They all wanted to see if Zhang Ye had a way to counter this attack that was specifically designed to exploit his ability.

The three-minute long barrage of floating explosions was visually spectacular, but it also made it hard for anyone to clearly see what was happening inside.

But after the three minutes were up, the announcement Wu Di had been expecting—“Duel over, Zhang Ye loses!”—didn’t come.

As the lights faded, Zhang Ye was still standing there, completely unscathed.

His expression was calm, like nothing had even happened.

Everyone was stunned!

They could believe Zhang Ye might survive the move, but no one had imagined he’d come through it perfectly, without a scratch!

For the first time, Deng Shentong’s eyes showed genuine surprise.

“Interesting. Very interesting! He’s clearly much stronger than what the district’s reports said!”

In another viewing room, Zhu Zheng was just as confused.

“How the hell did this kid pull that off? His ability shouldn’t have that level of defense!”

But behind him, Sun Luxuan adjusted his glasses and smiled, saying, “I think I’ve figured it out.”

Tu Yunlie also nodded slightly in agreement.

“That’s definitely a pretty clever defense move. This guy maxed out his defense skill.”

Seeing that Zhu Zheng and Lan Xincheng were still puzzled, Sun Luxuan explained, “Just as the explosions started, he opened up a flawless defensive barrier that absorbed every attack from all directions.”

Zhu Zheng immediately said, “Dueling Field, analyze the last combat sequence!”

This dueling field was designed for Variants to fight in. With the combination of the training suits and the field’s surveillance system, it could perfectly analyze the use of Variant abilities.

Of course, this also helped Variants identify and fix weaknesses in their skills.

As soon as Zhu Zheng gave the command, a response came right away—in the form of a 3D holographic playback.

In the footage, just as the 300,000 floating particles began to explode, Zhang Ye suddenly created a spherical membrane-like barrier around himself.

It was a dimensional gateway.

But unlike his previous move, Dimensional Gate, this time the gateway was spherical—completely wrapping around his entire body.

Zhu Zheng looked visibly shaken.

“So... is this an absolute defense?”

Sun Luxuan smiled, “There’s no such thing as absolute defense. If there were, it would only mean the offensive power wasn’t strong enough yet.”

Lan Xincheng frowned slightly, looking conflicted. “But from beginning to end, he’s just been defending. Isn’t that a little too passive? If all he does is turtle up, how’s he supposed to go on the offensive?”

Everyone was curious about that too.

Still, seeing Zhang Ye walk out of the dueling field completely intact made it clear to them—he was, at the very least, unbeatable right now.

A Variant with absolute defense was born unbeatable!

Zhang Ye looked calmly at Wu Di. From Wu Di’s expression, he could see the shock and unwillingness in his eyes.

Wu Di gritted his teeth, unable to accept it. “How is that possible?! How could you block my attack?! I’ve already studied your abilities inside and out!”

“This move should’ve been unstoppable! Even if my floating particles had their power reduced, they should’ve at least hurt you a little!”

He was starting to panic. He spread his arms again, sending another wave of bubble mirages into the sky, preparing to go again!

“Don’t waste your time.”

Zhang Ye looked at Wu Di coolly.

He had to admit, if this had happened a month ago, he would’ve been in deep trouble.

But after absorbing Yuan Kongye’s source energy, his skills had evolved—especially in terms of fine control over his abilities.

Zhang Ye didn’t move an inch. Another spherical dimensional wall appeared around him, wrapping him up completely!

Now, he was separated from the real world by an entire alternate dimension!

Unless someone could hit him with an attack strong enough to surpass the limit of his Dimensional Gate, nothing could breach this defense.

This move had become his absolute defense—a perfect barrier.

Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms.
