Xingtetsu: You are not included in Elio's script!

Inside the main control room, the dead silence was broken by the piercing sound of an alarm.

The light spots on the screen representing Lin Yu's vital signs were flashing at a crazy speed, accompanied by a sharp warning that the energy readings were surging out of control.

Although the pair of giant gray stone hands have disappeared, the aftermath of the rule disturbance they brought still left hideous tracks on the space station's sensors.

"Lin Yu...what did he just fight?!" Estelle's voice trembled, her gaze unable to move away from the fleeting image of a giant hand on the screen, seemingly condensed from the laws themselves. It was an existence far beyond her comprehension, and even observing its residual signal made her soul tremble.

Lin Ruan grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes, her face pale. Although she did not fully understand what was happening, the despair in the air and the unprecedented solemnity on her mother and sister Heita's faces made her realize that her father was facing a more terrible danger than before.

Ruan Mei closed her eyes, her voice trembling slightly. "He's... running away, very fast. The sense of danger... hasn't disappeared, but has become even clearer, like... being marked."

Black Tower controlled the holographic console so fast that only an afterimage was left. She called up data from all the space station monitoring networks, including those hidden sensors used to observe the underlying fluctuations of the universe.

"That's not a conventional spatial blockade..." she muttered to herself, "It's a prohibition at the level of rules, similar to the imaginary number tree's own isolation mechanism for a faulty branch. The power to forge a new path to destiny has been fundamentally and temporarily denied."

She raised her head and looked at Ruan Mei and Estelle, her tone more serious than ever before. "That's not an ordinary enemy. It might not even be a life form as we know it."

"It's more like the universe's own immune system has been triggered. Lin Yu's act of forcibly absorbing and attempting to modify the fate of destruction may be judged as pollution and a threat to the existing rule system."

This conclusion made Estelle and Ruan Mei feel like they were falling into an ice cave.

It is understandable to be an enemy of the Star God, but to be an enemy of the underlying rules of the entire universe?

That's simply like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

"We have to help him!" Estelle said anxiously, "The space station's system..."

"It's useless." Black Tower interrupted her, "Any attack based on existing physical laws and the power of destiny is meaningless to that kind of existence."

"What we can do now is not to attack, but to... provide support."

"Esda, immediately calculate the optimal intercept trajectory between Lin Yu's current vector and the space station. Activate the energy of all non-essential modules and supply them all to the thrusters and shield systems! We need to pull him back into the protective range of the space station before he is completely eliminated!"

And Black Tower did something even bolder.

She directly connected to the core interface of the simulated universe, trying to use it as an intermediary to simulate a parameter that could temporarily deceive the blocked space.

Now that the rules have been modified, try to override them with higher permissions! Even if it's only for a moment!

This may be the only chance to save Lin Yu, and it is also a great opportunity to verify some of her ultimate guesses.

At the same time, in the depths of the distant void.

Lin Yu increased his speed to the extreme, and every teleportation was accompanied by severe pain.

The newly born source of destruction was consumed violently in the friction with the void, but he did not dare to stop for even a moment.

That cold gaze was like a maggot on his tarsal bone, locking onto him tightly, and...seemingly slowly tightening.

He felt like a fly caught in a spider web. No matter how he struggled, the invisible web was wrapping him up bit by bit.

He tried to activate the path of development again, but the same dead silence and blockage still responded to him.

That piece of space seemed to be temporarily erased from the map of the universe.

Despair began to bite his heart like a poisonous snake.

Facing an existence of this level, all his strength and strategies seemed so pale and powerless.

Suddenly, he sensed a slight fluctuation in the space ahead!

It wasn't pursuers, but an extremely faint spatial ripple with a familiar aura!

It's from the direction of the Black Tower Space Station! They're trying to pick me up!

A warm feeling mixed with a stronger sense of urgency surged into my heart.

He can't die here! He has to go back!

Lin Yu forcibly merged the source of destruction and protection in his body, no longer pursuing attacks, but instead laid down layer upon layer of barriers behind him.

These barriers are not intended to block, but to produce violent explosions the moment they are triggered, attempting to temporarily pollute and disrupt the airspace that is absolutely controlled by the observer, thereby buying a tiny amount of time for escape.

This is the only solution he can think of at the moment.

Use destruction to fight against the rules!

He rushed towards the glimmer of hope without looking back, placing all his faith in speed, in the support of his companions in the space station, and in that slim chance of survival.

The void and barriers behind him lit up with dazzling light one after another, and then were silently smoothed and annihilated by some absolute power. However, every annihilation seemed to make the cold gaze freeze for a moment.

Lin Yu sprinted towards the familiar spatial fluctuation with all his strength.

The coordinates of the space station were like a beacon in the darkness, becoming his only spiritual support at this moment.

He could feel that the support efforts from the space station were intensifying, and the faint ripples were proof that they were trying to open a temporary passage for him.

However, just as he was about to enter the effective range of the space station's long-range force field, a cold fact hit his consciousness like a slap in the face.

He can't go back!

Nanook fell because of him, and the unknown watcher brought down corrections because he modified the rules of destruction.

He is now a walking source of disaster!

What was there on the space station? There was Ester, countless staff members, his cherished daughter, Lin Ruan, Ruan Mei, and Heita... They might be able to temporarily support him, but then what?

Lead that terrifying existence that even the Star God can correct to the space station?

Let the entire Black Tower Space Station become the victim of the next battlefield between him and the Watcher?

No! Absolutely not!

This thought made Lin Yu stop his momentum of rushing towards the space station.

He drew an arc in the void, and almost instinctively and in a self-destructive manner, forced himself to change direction, brushing the edge of the space station's force field and rushing towards the even more empty and desolate deep space!

"He..what happened to him?!"

In the main control room of the space station, Estelle looked at the sudden change in Lin Yu's trajectory on the screen and exclaimed, "Why did he go around?! Our passage is already open!"

All the color disappeared from Ruan Mei's cold face.

Through resonance, she sensed Lin Yu's determination and intention of self-sacrifice at that moment more clearly than Ester.

"He..he realized it."

"He realized that we couldn't fight whatever was tracking him, and he didn't want to... bring us down with him."

This sentence was like pouring ice water over one's head, causing the temperature in the control room to drop sharply.

Even Lin Ruan, who had been trying to remain calm, raised his head, his face full of fear and confusion.

"Dad... doesn't want us anymore?"

"No, it's because he cares about you too much." The black tower's eyes were fixed on Lin Yu's receding figure and the space behind him that seemed to be smoothed by an invisible hand.

"He lured the thing away, using himself as bait."

Deathly silence enveloped the control room.

Ester slumped in the chair, her hands hanging limply.

Ruan Mei hugged Lin Ruan tighter, as if this was the only way to gain some strength.

A deep sense of powerlessness gripped everyone.

They are ready to welcome the hero's return and even face a fierce battle.

Unexpectedly, in order to protect them, the hero chose to embark on a seemingly dead end escape alone.
