My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 384 - 313: You Shall Die!

On another battlefield, at a distance within the star ring of the Super Iron Curtain Planet.

The Ninth Apostle has been held here for a full 19 hours.

The duration of this battle was so long that Xue Dili waited until now, as the Interstellar Corps dispatched a total of 3 detachments, including 2 detachment leaders and over a dozen squad leaders.

On paper, the strength of the Interstellar Corps appeared to be several times that of the Ninth Apostle.

But in reality, it wasn’t so, as the Ninth Apostle’s spatial abilities were the most troublesome presence.

Even though it’s the same Space System ability, its essence is entirely different.

The young general’s Space System essentially is not a true spatial ability; it can be regarded as a non-preparation Teleportation Gate using his own body as an anchor.

Instead of a spatial ability, it seems more like a specialized teleportation technique, akin to others needing to prepare for several seconds or even minutes, where the young general can instantly open a Teleportation Gate.

Xue Dili’s Dimension Slash, on the other hand, operates on another principle, essentially using the Dimensional Blade as a transmission medium in the Subspace of the Consciousness Space; the area struck by the Dimensional Blade forms a space rift covered by Consciousness Space, disrupting normal space.

In essence, utilizing the Subspace characteristic of Consciousness Space itself.

With the Ninth Apostle’s spatial abilities, as the Interstellar Corps probed until now, complete intelligence had been acquired.

Temporarily named as "Subspace Domain".

Its essence is, through its abilities, it can affect and cover normal surrounding space, forming a special "domain".

By twisting reality with its powers, false space overlays real space.

Externally, although they are fighting on the Star Ring of the Super Iron Curtain, it’s merely an aggregation of the Star Ring among various asteroids, space debris, and meteorite regions attracted by the planet.

However, in an instant, it can turn this star ring into an ocean, with everyone seemingly plunged into the deep sea battling against it.

It can seemingly drag anyone into its domain and separate them from others.

While in the domain, enemies outside cannot attack those inside the domain, instead hitting the debris on the star ring, and those within the domain cannot attack people outside either.

At this moment, both sides are like staring big-eyed at each other behind a screen; no matter how powerful the attack, it can’t harm the person on the other side of the screen, only the screen itself.

In essence, the Ninth Apostle and Xue Dili possess "stand-ins of the same ability".

Its spatial domain is extraordinarily similar to Xue Dili’s Consciousness Space, likely belonging to the "Subspace" structure.

As long as Xue Dili masters the ability to remotely pull in Consciousness Space and use Consciousness Space to cover real space, he can achieve the same effects as the Ninth Apostle.

After the Interstellar Corps understood and prepared Xue Dili, they let him hide until now.

Using the same abilities to deal with the Ninth Apostle.

This is the real plan to assassinate the Ninth Apostle.

The Ninth Apostle, being someone who always runs at the first sign of trouble, after several confrontations, the Interstellar Corps knew this Apostle absolutely isn’t the type to care about face or pride.

It would enter its Subspace alone at the first opportunity, then flee at top speed, intending to return later.

Therefore, before it exhausts and escapes, Xue Dili must not act; the moment Xue Dili takes action is the instant of certain kill.

Thus, the past ten-plus hours of battle merely served to drain the Ninth Apostle’s physical strength and will.

During these nineteen hours, the Interstellar Corps placed it in a state like boiling a frog slowly, just enough to suppress the Ninth Apostle but not overly harshly, gradually exhausting its physical and mental energy while giving it a glimmer of hope.

Using such cunning schemes, Xue Dili bears no psychological burden.

In this battle, he merely needs to execute that one sure-kill slash!

...

On the star ring, the Ninth Apostle was panting, its appearance similar to a human, with the only difference being, its chin was covered with tendrils or tree root-like structures.

After 19 hours of continuous battles, it was physically and mentally exhausted, but at least this time, it broke even.

The Super Iron Curtain houses a population of 16.8 billion, and the fallen areas of the Giant Beast Star had also picked up some additional population.

These "pseudo-insects" wearing human skin can also serve as fertilizer for the Divine Tree, and after plundering this population, the gains were enough to offset the previously paid price.

But now, breaking even wasn’t enough, and what it desired wasn’t merely to break even but to profit immensely—securing these two Life Planets simultaneously.

Despite this place being marked by the Interstellar Corps, it is highly likely the distant Star Annihilator Cannon could follow upon its complete conquest.

However, witnessing the profits slipping through its fingers, after so much effort, ending in just break-even left it feeling uncomfortable.

After several confrontations, it gradually relaxed; though disadvantaged in the battles, its abilities keep it undefeated.

As long as it enters Subspace at the moment of sensing danger, then teleports away, coupled with its powerful Life Force, it least ensures it won’t lose.
