Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

Outside the Cretan Void, or more precisely, outside the associated void of the Cretan Void.

This was originally a subway station, but it was abandoned after a sudden associated cavity disaster.

On the subway tracks, Su Chen and Nicole, led by Ling Mei who was possessed by Ies, headed towards Anbi and Billy.

Su Chen, who was entering the void for the first time, was looking around at everything with great interest.

The subway tracks were all overturned, some even lying on their sides on the ground, and there were pieces of building debris everywhere, creating a cyberpunk apocalypse scene.

Turning your head slightly, you can also see black etched crystals, similar to obsidian, quietly shimmering.

An unsettling energy permeated the air, constantly trying to penetrate people's bodies, though its force was not particularly strong.

"I feel a little heavier in my body. Is this probably due to the erosion of etheric energy?"

Su Chen walked through the empty space, thinking to himself.

His body felt a slight discomfort under the influence of some force within the void.

Fortunately, his body was almost ten times the human limit, and his ether resistance was 90 points. This discomfort was like being hit by a fly; it was barely noticeable without careful observation.

"Ropesmith, have you found Ambition and Billy's direction?"

Nicole asked somewhat anxiously.

They became friends after meeting at the video store.

Once they left the video store, they became a rope maker and his agent.

"Don't worry, I've already located them; they're not too far from us."

The bell possessing Ies said seriously, "However, there is an etheric energy reaction on the way forward, which is probably some skeletons blocking the way."

"They're just some remains, we'll take care of them." Nicole nudged Su Chen's arm and said, "Right, Su Chen?"

“Of course.” Su Chen nodded easily. “However, could you tell me a little about the skeletons? Like their combat power and such.”

"Uh, you don't know anything about Yi Hai?"

Ies shook his rabbit ears, somewhat taken aback.

The knowledge of the skeleton is a required course in New Elidu, so how could a cave raider not know about the skeleton?

Nicole helped Su Chen explain, "Su Chen has only been in New Elidu for a short time and doesn't know much about the information about the skeletons in New Elidu."

Based on the information Su Chen revealed in the past two days, Nicole has already conjured up a set of identities in her mind.

Su Chen came from a city outside of New Elidu, where he was renowned. When that city completely collapsed under the void, Su Chen wandered to New Elidu and unexpectedly fell onto her.

"Ok."

Although Ling felt something was wrong, she accepted the premise.

She cleared her throat and began to explain under Su Chen's expectant gaze: "In New Elidu, the skeletons are divided into 10 levels, named after the metal elements from antimony to mercury."

"The weakest Level 1 skeletons are antimony-level skeletons. Their bodies are stronger than ordinary people. An ordinary person can deal with one if they use their brain, although there are usually more than one of them."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen nodded slightly.

According to the plot he understood, ordinary people could indeed deal with the weakest Yi Hai, although most of them would die at the hands of the second Yi Hai.

However, he could probably fight his way through a million corpses, just like Zhao Zilong.

"Dealing with such a skeleton has a difficulty index of 1. As the skeleton's level increases, the difficulty index rises exponentially, roughly to the power of 3. The difficulty index for the strongest level 10 skeleton, also known as the mercury-level skeleton, is 3 to the power of 9, specifically 19683."

"It would take a well-trained army of a thousand to defeat such a skeleton. As for a single one, only the Void Hunter can subdue it."

As she spoke, Ling occasionally revealed a frightened expression.

"Is your New Elidu really that dangerous?"

Su Chen's expression also became somewhat serious.

A thousand-strong, well-trained army—this must refer to a regiment of the defense force, right?

The defense forces of this world don't carry small pistols. It's perfectly normal for their weapons to have some elemental reaction properties, and equipping them with ether energy cannons is commonplace.

Even a level 10 skeleton that takes a whole squad to deal with can only be survived by him.

It's almost impossible to slowly whittle down someone with the invincible ability to dodge.

Because there is still etheric energy in the cavity to help the skeleton recover from its injuries, as long as the damage does not exceed the threshold, grinding it out for a long time will not help.

“Of course not,” Nicole interjected. “We generally don’t encounter skeletons of level 7 or higher; they only operate in the deepest parts of the Primal Void. Generally speaking, skeletons of level 4 or higher can be considered superior skeletons.”

Currently, there are only 6 primordial voids in Neo-Elido. Including Void Zero, which gave birth to the six primordial voids, there are only 7 voids qualified to give birth to level 7 or higher skeletons.

The remaining voids are all derivatives of the six original voids, such as the derivative voids of the Cretan void where they are located, and do not possess the etheric energy to give birth to 7th level or higher skeletons.

"That puts my mind at ease."

Su Chen immediately relaxed.

Level 7 or higher, 3 to the power of 6.

If I do the math, the difficulty level is roughly 729.

No problem, he can solo it.

"Hey, why are you suddenly relaxing?!"

Ling was somewhat bewildered as she looked at Su Chen, who had become arrogant in his walk.

All I mentioned was the level of the skeleton.

How did they suddenly become so arrogant?

"Because I found that the days ahead would be much easier."

Su Chen smiled with pleasure.

Are you underestimating Yi Hai?

Ling looked at Su Chen with a somewhat serious expression.

She couldn't stand Su Chen's confident demeanor, knowing that underestimating Yi Hai could be fatal.

Unfortunately, the serious expression on Bangbu's face only made it look cuter.

"No, I'm just very knowledgeable about escape techniques."

Su Chen couldn't help but touch Ies's swaying rabbit ears.

"Besides these 10 levels, there are also extraterrestrial beings, whose power surpasses the rules and can destroy a city! In their presence, there is no escape!"

Ling struggled to shake off Su Chen's hand and threatened him.

"Where is such a powerful being as Yi Hai?"

Su Chen asked with a smile.

"Currently, it is only confirmed to exist deep within the zero cavity; other primordial cavities may exist."

Ling answered honestly.

"Isn't that enough? As long as you don't recklessly run inside. I think very few people would do that, right?"

Su Chen spread his hands, still relaxed.

Even if he encountered Yi Hai, who was of an extraordinary level, he could easily escape using the bug that allowed him to roll into the Invincible Realm.

It may not look very elegant, but that's fine.

Moreover, he probably won't encounter such a skeleton in the short term.

When he encountered him, he had probably already completed about a hundred draws—the self-selected gold card. At that point, even Mukuro was afraid of him.

"A man without ambition!"

Bell was very angry and manipulated Ies to turn her head away.

A man like that will never gain her approval.

"Okay, it's just a joke."

Su Chen patted Ies's head and said with a smile, "I think that as the best rope craftsman, [Phaethon] wouldn't let his collaborator fall into such a dangerous situation, right?"

In the storyline, whether it's the siblings' main account [Phaethon] or the alternate account he created for them [Klee], both have a 100% success rate.

With their help, even the dangerous Void Zero can be explored with peace of mind.

Even if you suddenly praise me, I won't be happy!

As Bell said this, Ies's ears twitched, clearly pleased.

Inside the video store, Zhe clenched his fists tightly as he watched his younger sister suddenly blush.

That jerk, he's always trying to pick up girls whenever he gets the chance!

Make a girl angry, then make her happy again to create the image of a witty and humorous man.

This Su Chen looks like a seasoned pro among the blond-haired gangsters.

Sure enough, a sign that reads "Su Chen and dogs are not allowed!" should be hung at the entrance of the video store.
