At this moment, his sharp eyes were no longer the soft ones he used during his conversation with the girl, capturing the surrounding scenery in his gaze.
The azure sky had turned crimson, and even the fertile land now displayed colors it originally did not possess, the burnt wasteland contaminated by radioactive substances intermittently steaming...
Underneath the sweltering smoke, the writhing flames continued to burn fiercely... This place was also filled with a massive source of radiation, anything, be it Mecha or flesh, would disintegrate into molecules and vanish into the air as soon as it passed through the radiation source, with the central area of the source resembling twisting vapors that constantly roil and steam, and around the periphery, the scorched ground sometimes accompanied by swirling flames.
Looking into the distance, collapsed buildings and abandoned facilities stretched unbroken. Who could imagine that this desolate sector thrived just a year ago? Or that it was once a battlefield where he fought?
A year changed much; now time flew by like a song and swift as an arrow, every scene and object here has completely transformed, leaving the planet shadowy and desolate, much like relics after an apocalyptic era.
The only surviving life forms here appeared to be the Death Sand Worms, eyeless and brainless creatures extremely similar to the Bobbit Worms on Earth, hunting purely based on reflex actions.
However, compared to Bobbit Worms, Death Sand Worms were significantly larger, thousands to millions of times larger than Super Bobbit Worms, capable of swallowing a truck whole, and since they usually reside deep beneath the surface, these creatures are generally hard to detect.
Now, having just landed on the surface of the binary stars, Feng Yi found two sand worms immediately; it seems that even such gigantic creatures can no longer adapt to the changing environment.
They seemed to sniff out the scent of life, their massive bodies suddenly burrowing into the ground, then resurfacing just moments later, emerging less than 500 meters from Feng Yi with their gaping maws snapping in his direction.
Feng Yi could only feel a foul odor mixed with a strong gust hitting his face...
Seeing this, Feng Yi suddenly gathered his strength in his hand and fist, crackling with electric sparks… His single arm, trembling with lightning, seemed to possess an unrivaled destructive force as he threw a punch through the air.
Boom!
The void's airflow abruptly constricted, and if someone were standing beside Feng Yi now, they would feel the immense air pressure from that punch.
The sand worm hit what seemed to be a tangible vacuum barrier, its solid body instantly shattered by the blow and vanished from view under the strong concussive force.
At the peak of Legendary Realm, Feng Yi has never tried to test the full magnitude of his power with one strike; based on just 50% of power used moments ago, the resulting force was terrifyingly powerful, and if converted into Blade Warrior's Combat Power Tester data, it would probably reach about 5 million.
After the strike, Feng Yi unleashed a second punch, his fingers opening and closing as he gathered energy for another sudden attack directed thousands of kilometers away at a second Death Sand Worm.
Thud!
The sand worm was hit as if by a heavy object, its dented body abruptly splitting in two, and though the distance prevented an immediate death, it clearly wouldn't survive.
Feng Yi paid no attention to the sand worm, eyes slightly closed, finely sensing the true source of the 'Bizarre' fluctuations.
One micrometer, one kilometer, eight thousand kilometers...
He found it! As the force of his spirit spread outward, Feng Yi instantly captured a strong Dark Magnetic Field fluctuation eight thousand kilometers away.
Following a punch, his figure faded and vanished.
This punch transcended light and also the bounds of time, like an energy materializing from nothing, fiercely striking the back of the 'Bizarre' as it consumed the magnetic field.
Feng Yi's figure then appeared at the exact spot where 'Bizarre' had just stood.
Action without words, bare greetings with fists to show respect—this has always been Feng Yi's way of negotiation.
"Hehehehe..." Bizarre made a weird and hesitant noise, like it was laughing, "Your greeting doesn't seem very friendly."
Listening to the dramatic greeting from 'Bizarre', Feng Yi looked down at his hand again, the induced electric current from the magnetic field collision surprised him, "You can speak."
Feng Yi began to carefully examine the entity of 'Bizarre'. The body of this monster was about as tall as him, entirely black and glossy, but what deserved attention the most, besides the above characteristics, was that at such a close distance he could even feel energy radiating from Bizarre, somewhat similar to static electricity.
"I wasn't originally capable of speaking, at least not using human language for communication, and for that, I have humans to thank. What I find incomprehensible is that the one to come here would be you."
In response to that punch just now, Bizarre displayed no desire or intention to attack. Instead, it candidly answered Feng Yi's question, saying, "You should have died a year ago; why are you still alive? Your continued existence does not comply with the current operating rules of the universe."
Feng Yi slowly reined in his combat intentions, saying, "By some twist of fate. Does your existence comply with the universal rules then?"
"It doesn't; I am originally not from this starry sky."
"These matters are irrelevant. I want to know what the purpose of your existence is."
"My purpose of existence..."
"Exactly."
"I'm not sure myself; perhaps it's just sheer destruction and annihilation, devouring all possible matter and preventing myself from continuously fading away."
"Is that so, then is my death related to you?"
"There is a certain connection. At that time, I had no self-awareness, did not use human reasoning to consider problems. Being in Four-dimensional Space, I was merely passively driving the process of this universe, including any beings that might threaten me, whether it was you or other humans who share the same biomagnetic field. Their fates have been sealed since birth; it was I who cut off your ties."
Feng Yi instantly thought of his own background upon hearing Bizarre's description—he indeed had no parents and was raised by Lasso. Even when he was a child taken by Lasso, he narrowly escaped death in a plane crash; could this have a necessary connection to Bizarre's push?
No, that's impossible, Feng Yi firmly denied this impractical thought, saying, "You couldn't possibly have the power to influence this dimensional space."
"Still unclear? The V583 asteroid relics, that is precisely the medium that allowed me to successfully intervene in the workings of this universe. And the source that caused this catastrophe is not me, but the Magic Crystal civilization."
So that's how it is, Feng Yi suddenly realized. No wonder, at the brink of his life, he could often see V583 and foresee some unimaginable things. Perhaps there was an inexplicable subtle connection between him and 'Bizarre' all along, with him completely being the passive party.
Although Bizarre's power was still weak at that time, one cannot ignore the fact that it was born in an other-dimensional plane. In other words, although Bizarre at that time could not change the macroscopic universe, it could infiltrate dreams and, through its unique way, intervene in the lives of a few people.
Until one day, when a being that might threaten it completely disappears from this world, will Bizarre show itself? He's not sure if this idea is correct; after all, Feng Yi's mind was no longer astute, and the Power of the Soul was also continuously diminishing with time. But this is the only sensible explanation he could think of at the moment.
Feng Yi said, "Does your existence belong to a form of life, or some kind of cosmic rule apparition?"
"It's always been you asking me, don't you think that's a bit unfair?"
This...? Indeed, he had not expected that Bizarre had already learned to bargain. Before ensuring victory over the other party, having the necessary information was crucial. As his thoughts swirled, Feng Yi decided to listen to what Bizarre had to say, saying, "You may ask your questions, but of course, it must be within my scope of answers."
"I want to know why you are alive."
Exactly his fear, Feng Yi dreaded Bizarre asking this question. In his conversation with Mo Ying, Mo Ying had personally mentioned that it couldn't fully understand the phenomenon of Bizarre's existence despite being aware of it, and it was not afraid either.
However, Feng Yi then thought, if he indirectly disclosed the truth, would a higher-dimensional being clash with an alien creature, potentially carving a new plotline from the original script?
