Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 1040: Difficult to handle? Then let’s not handle it!

Soul Reaper’s overwhelming killing intent and that terrifying, bone-chilling pressure instantly froze the fiery hearts of the Dragon King and Bailian.

”Stay away from us!!”

The two roared in terror, glaring at Zhang Yi who was charging straight toward them.

Even the dumbest person would realize Zhang Yi was planning to redirect the threat toward them.

But why would Zhang Yi let them off so easily?

During the East Sea operation, the Dragon King had only sent a doppelganger, giving Zhang Yi and Linghu Feixue no chance to kill him.

Now that they had encountered each other here, Zhang Yi certainly wouldn’t hold back.

A mischievous grin spread across his face as he performed several spatial traversals, blinking to the Dragon King’s vicinity with Hua Hua in tow.

Soul Reaper’s eyes were fixed solely on Zhang Yi.

Without a second thought, he roared and gave chase.

The Dragon King was so furious he wanted to fight Zhang Yi to the death, but the most immediate danger was that thing chasing behind them.

In Soul Reaper’s vision, two additional figures suddenly appeared around his target.

Kill!!

That was the only thought occupying his mind.

The spherical, egg-like head opened a ferocious maw as an energy cannon rapidly took shape.

”Motherf*cker!”

The Dragon King cursed violently, then tried to drag Bailian away to separate from Zhang Yi.

But why had Zhang Yi come here in the first place?

His entire purpose was to drag the Dragon King into this mess.

As the saying goes, those who witness should share the burden—of course he had to share this troublesome matter with his good brother.

Wherever the Dragon King went, Zhang Yi directly followed.

No matter how fast the Dragon King was, how could he possibly outpace someone with spatial traversal abilities like Zhang Yi!

Zhang Yi swept past the Dragon King, giving him a sinister smile.

In the next instant, Soul Reaper’s energy cannon engulfed the space behind them, roaring forward with mountain-splitting force!

Originally, given Zhang Yi’s speed, he might not have been able to dodge Soul Reaper’s attack with 100% certainty.

Fortunately, his Echo of Time ability would alert him to danger in advance, allowing him to instinctively evade.

This had become a passive ability—his body reacting before his brain could even process the threat.

However, the Dragon King possessed no such capability.

His body was directly grazed by Soul Reaper’s strike.

Then, that massive Dragon King form, with scales comparable to the highest-grade alloy equipment, shattered piece by piece like brittle crackers!

His vice-captain Bailian faced even less suspense, directly blasted into dust!

The power of an Epsilon-level superhuman represented absolute domination over lower-ranked superhumans!

Only a freak like Zhang Yi—extremely rare, specializing in defensive capabilities, and possessing top-tier spatial abilities—could possibly hold out against him for a period of time. 𝐑АＮỖ฿ЕŞ

One second later, Soul Reaper swept past the Dragon King, impatiently swatting at him with a casual backhand.

The Dragon King felt as if his body were being sliced to pieces, every muscle and blood vessel rupturing!

BOOM!!!

He was smashed deep into the earth.

Terrifyingly, the ground where he landed actually sank downward massively, revealing a bottomless, horrifying abyss!

The scene was extremely bizarre, but Zhang Yi no longer had the mental space to concern himself with the Dragon King’s survival.

If he could delay Soul Reaper for even one second, that counted as a meaningful achievement for Zhang Yi.

His original plan had been to drag every superhuman on Star Island into this mess!

Well... except for those few from the Jiangnan Region.

They were simply too weak.

...

Command Centers of the Two Major Regions.

Zhuque had just returned with Linghu Feixue not long ago.

The moment she arrived, she was immediately ushered into the medical bay, receiving treatment from the most professional medical team.

Li Tianyang specifically visited to offer her comforting words.

”This time you lost to Billy the Kid only because you awakened later than him, and your superhuman ability index isn’t as high.”

”Don’t be discouraged. Sooner or later, you will surpass him and become an Epsilon!”

”Besides, didn’t you also take out one member of Hell’s Lock?”

Hearing Li Tianyang’s consolation, Zhuque’s heart remained as still as an ancient well.

Billy the Kid had completely shattered the arrogance within her.

That feeling of losing teammates and brushing shoulders with death was something she would never forget in her lifetime.

It would also drive her to become stronger!

”Right now on the island, we still have Chaos and Qinglong on our side. But the enemy’s only notable combatant is Billy the Kid alone.”

”I’ve witnessed Billy the Kid’s abilities. Qinglong holds no advantage against him. But Chaos’s abilities counter his! We should have him compete for the Divine Source!”

Zhuque earnestly offered her suggestion.

She believed that even if this operation didn’t proceed according to the original plan, the Divine Source falling into the Jiangnan Region’s hands was still better than letting the Colombian Navy obtain it.

Hearing this, Li Tianyang fell into brief silence.

After a while, he finally said, ”Chaos... probably won’t survive!”

Zhuque, startled by this, asked, ”Why? Could it be that he can’t defeat Billy the Kid either?”

Li Tianyang shook his head. ”No, not because of that. It’s because the enemy deployed Soul Reaper!”

Even Zhuque couldn’t help her body stiffening upon hearing that name.

She had witnessed firsthand how much damage Soul Reaper had inflicted on both armies back then.

If the two sides hadn’t temporarily reached a truce, leading to Xuanwu and Cadillus joining forces to defeat him, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

”If that’s the case, then everything is truly dire!”

Zhuque helplessly closed her eyes.

”If Chaos really dies, any advantage we held in this operation will be completely lost.”

However, a strange smile curled at the corner of Li Tianyang’s mouth.

”It won’t happen.”

He clasped his hands behind his back, speaking ominously, ”All warfare is based on deception. They came fully prepared, but does that mean we didn’t? Hehehe!”

”We must obtain the Divine Source. Zhuque,” he placed his hand on her shoulder, ”you will become the East Sea Region’s second Epsilon-level superhuman! There will be no accidents regarding this matter!”

Zhuque didn’t understand what Li Tianyang meant by this.

As combat personnel, they weren’t involved in key decisions and intelligence.

The most important quality for an excellent soldier was obeying orders, not having their own ideas.

She nodded, saying nothing more, simply trusting the organization.

However, at that very moment, an officer suddenly rushed over, urgently seeking Li Tianyang to report the situation.

”Minister, something terrible has happened! Chaos... Chaos has gone mad!!”

Li Tianyang’s eyes widened sharply. Whenever something happened related to Zhang Yi, it was never good news.

”What has he done now!”

The officer trembled as he spoke, ”He... didn’t follow orders to lead Soul Reaper out to sea. Instead, he turned around and headed straight for Mist Valley!”

Zhang Yi, with Soul Reaper in tow, rampaged across the entire Star Island.

His target was extremely clear—he charged straight toward Mist Valley!

Since you all want me to be the sucker, fine then, let’s see who gets to play at all!
