Su: ......

So love can disappear, right? I even played chess with you for so long!

"Let's continue playing chess. Who knows when your existence will be completely taken away? Don't worry, if you can beat me before that happens, I will deliver the answer you seek to the right person."

Su: !!!

Su was worried that if things continued like this, even if he obtained the truth about the Collapse from the higher-dimensional beings, he wouldn't be able to transmit it back, and he would even lose the motivation to play chess.

But now, here comes the motivation, doesn't it?

"Then let's continue, Your Excellency. In this human game, the victor will surely be human!"

And so, the game continued...

Of course, Su Yu was completely unaware of all of this.

After discovering that the parallel world observation function was useless, Su Yu simply dismantled the Second Divine Key, took out the Herrscher Core, and directly integrated it into his body.

Although Su Yu currently only has one core, he is essentially "dual-core" driven in a certain sense!

Just a few days later, the predicted "floating island" crisis finally arrived!

PS1: The plot of Eternal Paradise is so confusing! I feel like all the heroes are plotting their own schemes, and I have no idea what will happen next. Also, the initial text in Eternal Paradise is very suspicious, so I dare not write about that for now.

PS2: In my book, the Forest of Trees is still the pinnacle of the Collapse, there's no doubt about that!

Chapter 72 Nick Fury: That jackal dog, he tricked me again! (3k words)

In a sea area near Shanghai, a place that was previously deserted has now been filled with people, and all kinds of super-large barriers have been prepared in advance.

The reason is simple: this is one of the three locations where Wan Tianyi predicted the "floating island" was most likely to appear.

At each of the three locations, the Heavenly Sword Bureau deployed a large number of personnel and assigned an SS-level expert to each location, all in order to pull the floating island into the sealing barrier the moment it appeared and then destroy it.

There was no other way; this floating island was too big. If it were any smaller, the Sky Sword Bureau might have tried to take it over and then told the public that it was a new island formed by underwater volcanic activity.

The problem is that it's too big!

According to Wan Tianyi's predictions alone, this thing is at least as big as a city like Shanghai, and might even be bigger!

If it catches up successfully, that's fine; but if it doesn't, the resulting tsunami alone could destroy a large number of coastal cities.

The chosen method of destruction, while difficult even for an SS-level expert to completely destroy such a large island in just a few seconds, is still the best that can be done. With the added cover and isolation of sealing off the area, the impact should be minimized.

Nothing in the market can be foolproof, and this is the least risky approach after comprehensive consideration.

After Lin Xi successfully persuaded Su Yu, a "space-type SS-level ability user," to help, the risk of this method was reduced even further.

This morning, Su Yu went directly to Lin Xi and asked her to go with him to the three locations predicted by Wan Tianyi, saying that it might be possible to further determine where the "floating island" would actually appear.

If anyone else had said that, Lin Xi would have definitely given them a piece of her mind. Are you kidding me?

Even the Wantianyi (a type of astronomical instrument) can't predict a more precise location, so you can?

But there's no way around it; it's Su Yu who said it, this super mysterious SS-level powerhouse, so doesn't that make it believable?

Moreover, even if Su Yu was just joking, wouldn't we still have to rely on Su Yu to help deal with the real floating islands? So Lin Xi didn't think too much about it and directly took Su Yu to conduct an on-site inspection.

She also took the opportunity to give herself a break, as she had been driven almost crazy by all the things that needed to be dealt with lately!

Su Yu's statement was not without reason.

After dismantling the Second Divine Key and attempting to integrate its core into his body, Su Yu indeed experienced a surge in power, as expected. According to Alicia, the cores of the Herrschers from the previous civilization were unable to be directly used by humans and were ultimately used to create Divine Keys.

However, perhaps because Su Yu already possessed the powers of the Herrscher of the Void, this rule didn't seem to apply to him. Moreover, the core not only increased Su Yu's power but also greatly enhanced his sensitivity to space, allowing him to perceive even more subtle fluctuations in different parts of the space.

That's why Su Yu dared to say that he should be able to further determine the location where the "floating island" would descend, because the spatial fluctuations there must be enormous! Just by comparing the three locations predicted by Wan Tianyi, the one with the greatest spatial fluctuations is most likely the place where the "floating island" will descend.

Now, under Lin Xi's guidance, Su Yu has already checked the first two locations and has now arrived at the last one, which is also the closest to Su Yu's own home, a sea area near Shanghai.

When the two arrived, the SS-level experts stationed here naturally noticed them; the man was an old man wielding a sword.

"Xiaolin, what brings you here?"

"Old Xia, this is my friend, Su Yu, who was mentioned as providing support during the previous operation. He might be able to pinpoint the exact location where the floating island will appear, so I'm going to explore with him."

"So that's it."

Old Xia nodded, glanced at Su Yu, and didn't say anything more.

As for Su Yu, Elder Xia naturally knew about him. His achievement of destroying an entire S.H.I.E.L.D. base was indeed too impressive. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't help but know about it!

"Old Xia, how's the situation here?"

"There are no special circumstances. The barrier setup is basically complete. There are some petty scoundrels spying on the outer perimeter, but with me here, they dare not make any rash moves."

Lin Xi nodded, it seemed the situation was still largely under control.

There is no doubt that people from other countries will be watching from the outside, but most of them probably just want to see the outcome of the event as soon as possible so they can take advantage of the situation and kick someone when they're down. They probably don't have the guts to do that!

While Lin Xi and Elder Xia were chatting, Su Yu, who was standing to the side, also silently opened his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xi quickly inquired.

"So, which place is it exactly?"

Su Yu: ......

"Well, it's a mix of good and bad news."

"The good news is that I'm certain the floating island will likely descend here; the bad news is that there might not be much time left, it's already coming!"

Mr. Xia:? ? ?

Lin Xi: ? ? ?

Just as Lin Xi and Elder Xia were looking at each other in bewilderment, an alarm suddenly sounded, and a huge spatial distortion appeared in the sky above the sea in front of them.

......

Those who had been spying on the area nearby immediately retreated at least dozens of kilometers upon seeing this scene. They were simply afraid that if the Heavenly Sword Bureau couldn't resolve the floating island issue, they might be caught in the crossfire.

So it's better to run away first. Anyway, we're all superhumans, so we can still see the situation clearly from a distance.

But while everyone else was retreating, only one person resolutely stepped forward – that was Dracula, the SS-class powerhouse sent by S.H.I.E.L.D.!

A simple observation mission would not require a powerful figure like Dracula. Dracula's real goal was to capture Su Yu with the Staff of the Underworld.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s plan is to first choose one of the three possible locations where the "floating islands" might appear and wait for them to appear. That would be the best outcome, because Su Yu would definitely come over then.

If the floating islands land in other places, that's not a big problem either.

Even if the Heavenly Sword Bureau successfully prevents the floating island from falling into the sea, there will definitely be a lot of thorny issues to deal with afterwards. At that time, the entire Heavenly Sword Bureau's defense will be at its most relaxed. Dracula can take the opportunity to infiltrate the Demon City and use the Staff of the Underworld to capture Su Yu.

Although the outcome is the same in both cases, if Dracula were to choose, he would still prefer the latter.

The former means that he would have to face the threat posed by the floating island together with the Heavenly Sword Bureau and Su Yu! If such a huge thing were to fall on him, even if he were an SS-level vampire cyborg, he would definitely die a horrible death.

But that's life; it often goes against your expectations.

Of the three possible locations, with a one-in-three probability, Dracula just happened to stumble upon them!

Dracula thought that after the mission was over, he could try buying lottery tickets and maybe win the grand prize.

But things had already come to this. The moment the spatial distortion appeared, S.H.I.E.L.D. learned through his recording and detection equipment that Dracula had already heard Nick Fury urging him to go up in the communicator.

With no other option, Dracula had to charge straight toward the distorted space amidst the bewildered gazes of the surrounding crowd.

At the same time, he also prepared the Staff of the Underworld. He planned to slap the Staff of the Underworld on Su Yu's face as soon as they met, so as not to give the other party a chance to escape using spatial abilities.

Meanwhile, the moment the spatial distortion appeared, the people deployed by the Heavenly Sword Bureau reacted immediately. The massive sealing barrier that had been set up around them was instantly deployed, enveloping everyone present, including the floating island.

Su Yu immediately deployed two super-large wormholes, placing them on the upper and lower sides of the floating island respectively; the lower one was the entrance, and the upper one was the exit.

In this way, the entire floating island begins to undergo infinite free fall!

Previously, Su Yu wouldn't have been able to do this, since maintaining such a large spatial wormhole would indeed consume a lot of energy; however, for Su Yu now driven by "dual cores," this is just a small case!

Just as Xia Laoshou was about to draw his sword, he was surprised to find...

It seems like this has nothing to do with him anymore?

Su Yu single-handedly prevented the floating island from crashing into the ocean!

Old Xia couldn't help but look at Lin Xi with a resentful gaze. Good heavens, if your friend is so awesome, why did you call these old guys over? To tease them?

Lin Xi was also dumbfounded at this moment, because based on Su Yu's previous actions in North America, he should not have been able to do such a thing.

This is not a small meteorite; it's a floating island several sizes larger than Shanghai!

Maintaining such a large wormhole, and judging from Su Yu's seemingly relaxed demeanor, is this guy really only SS-level as predicted? Could he be even stronger?

"You've gotten stronger again?"

"How can that be..."

Su Yu scratched his head, just about to show off by saying, "This is nothing."

Suddenly, a hole was smashed open in the entire seal, and a blood-red stream of light rushed straight towards Su Yu, then threw an unidentified object at him.
