Chapter 540: Return
[Mai] was covered in cold sweat, his figure constantly teleporting, rapidly changing positions within Paradise.
Just a little bit, just a little bit!
He was almost enveloped by that dark blue bounded field.
Although he wasn't sure if that bounded field could seal him in, he had already seen clearly that none of the group of people who came was easy to deal with.
Absolutely all were Reincarnators close to the Title level or had already reached the Title level.
He tried to assassinate them using his mental hypnosis ability, but the Space's prompt was that the ability was resisted.
Subsequently, that emaciated old man with graying temples merely snapped his fingers, and a huge explosion occurred out of nowhere.
"Miss Jin, hasn't your backup arrived yet!"
"So many people came, I completely can't hold them off!"
Mai roared into the microphone somewhat losing his composure, but the woman's voice in the microphone was incomparably cold.
"I don't need you to hold them off, just play with them for a bit~"
Jin Yue'an completely didn't believe that a figure like Mercenary Tao would silently die in a mission world.
The fact that his stall hadn't disappeared meant that in the Space's judgment, Mercenary Tao must still be alive, just that he hadn't returned due to some special circumstances.
She simply instructed Mai to stall for time as much as possible, to prevent that group from finding the hotel where Mercenary Tao was located before entering the Space.
That might cause Boss Mercenary Tao to encounter a massive besiegement by Ability Users and face an accident the instant he returned to the real world.
As for other things, whether Paradise survived or perished, whether this city would be destroyed, whether Mai would die, Jin Yue'an didn't care at all.
She just sat in the hotel lobby and slowly took off her glasses. Those pupils immediately became sharp, the purple-red eyes flashing with luster like crystals.
Beep beep, beep beep.
Another satellite phone rang. That was a phone specifically used for emergency contact by the Goryeo side.
After she answered, a cold female voice sounded.
"Hold that group off for half a day, I will bring people over."
Jin Yue'an was somewhat surprised. She had actually long perceived abnormal voices within the March Consortium.
She guessed that the relationship between Lee Cheong-ja and Mercenary Tao wasn't as equal as rumored by the outside world.
Now that Mercenary Tao encountered a mishap, the other party actually didn't plan to take the opportunity to completely incorporate the agency in Goryeo Country under her own command.
She even wanted to risk coming to join the battle?!
Jin Yue'an suddenly tilted her body, hiding under the window. Through the glass, she saw a young child whose whole body seemed cast from gold sand floating in the sky.
Enveloped by the sky full of black clouds, the great sun condensed from black flames behind his head floated slightly.
"That's... [Mahakala]!"
Is the [End of the Great Sun] going to kill Mercenary Tao?!
At the same time this thought appeared in her heart, Mahakala in the sky also immediately lowered his head, his gaze locking onto Jin Yue'an's position.
Whoosh!
Black flames burst into combustion in the air. In the next moment, Jin Yue'an agilely rolled backward, opening up a distance of over ten meters.
In the hotel lobby, pitch-black flames burned. The boy with a dark golden luster to his skin stepped out of the flames.
He had already comprehended divine abilities. When others generated various guesses about him, his [Telepathy] would similarly perceive it.
Jin Yue'an dropped her hands, intense telekinesis turning into two purple sharp blades, extending to a length of about forty centimeters.
The smooth marble floor of the lobby was immediately sliced open.
"Is it the mutant ability of [Psylocke]? It seems you aren't a guy without potential. Hmm... and a pair of Mystic Eyes, those are..."
"Jewel Mystic Eyes possessing clairvoyance and future sight."
Jin Yue'an's brows furrowed tightly, forcibly restraining her mind. The other party obviously possessed a [Mind Reading] type ability.
She had to use other thoughts to cover up that...
Mahakala watched with interest as this woman frantically filled her mind with various messy scenes, among which there were some nude fantasies that would probably be very attractive to other people.
But he merely continuously read the woman's deeper thoughts.
Something like the human heart is sometimes very difficult to control from letting one's imagination run wild.
The more you want to hide it, the more obvious that matter is.
Mahakala smiled and suddenly saw Mercenary Tao's face in the woman's mind. It wasn't the weird, red, twisted appearance disguised by the [Incarnation] in the Space.
That was a handsome, slightly sinister young man, the long hair behind him seemingly moving without wind.
"You are very loyal to Mercenary Tao..."
He spread his hands, and the black flames began to burn around like lotuses one by one. Almost instantly, they sealed the hotel lobby.
"I appreciate your loyalty, woman. Join the [End of the Great Sun], I can let you become a member of the squad under my seat."
"Don't try to cross these black fires. Even if your speed is good, in just an instant, you will be burned to a crisp."
Clearly having the appearance of a young child, yet when speaking, he was completely watertight. He neither had great hostility, nor would he make people feel he was easy to talk to.
[Mahakala] was similarly the kind of powerful Reincarnator whose original [Codename] began to be forgotten because he occupied a Title for a long time, and the Title slowly became his codename.
As the first-in-line follower under His Eminence the [End of the Great Sun], he was already a top-tier Reincarnator.
His strength was even more outstanding than that Tang Sanzang who died in the B711 world.
Jin Yue'an panted continuously, then slowly retracted her Nen ability. Facing this kind of enemy, she had no chance.
"Don't worry, woman. If Mercenary Tao is willing to join, His Eminence is naturally willing to give him a chance."
"In fact, His Eminence is willing to give the position of the second-in-line follower to Mercenary Tao."
This matter was Mahakala acting on his own initiative, but he believed that if Mercenary Tao could truly accept it, His Eminence would definitely not oppose it either.
Mercenary Tao's potential was beyond doubt. He was a scarce talent that any supreme powerhouse would fight for.
Rumble, rumble!
Outside, explosions constantly occurred in various blocks. That bug capable of teleportation was attracting that idiot [Great Demon] to cause destruction everywhere.
Mahakala remained unmoved. He had already read the result he wanted.
Mercenary Tao... is right here!
Jin Yue'an sighed, lowering her head as if accepting Mahakala's arrangement.
She slowly walked towards Mahakala, but Mahakala lowered his eyelids and sighed.
Jin Yue'an suddenly leaped up, her pupils instantly lighting up. In a flash, Mahakala felt his whole body confined by some kind of power, his whole person unable to move.
The purple light in the woman's hands also skyrocketed in a flash, instantly thrusting towards him.
Pfft!
Jin Yue'an felt a pain in her chest. She watched as her sharp blade clearly pierced through Mahakala's chest, but instead, it was she who was pierced through.
"Woman, even if you hide it very well, the instant you attack, all your thoughts will be exposed."
"And the most crucial point is that the gap in strength between you and me is like a chasm."
"Even if I pretend not to know your thoughts, you still cannot kill me."
Mahakala put his palms together, looking compassionate. In the next moment, black flames burst into combustion beneath Jin Yue'an's feet in an instant.
Right in this instant, Mahakala suddenly raised his head and looked towards the top of the lobby.
Rumble!
The ceiling shattered, and intense freezing air crashed down. In an instant, the lobby completely turned into a huge block of ice.
And Jin Yue'an's figure had disappeared without a trace.
The frozen Mahakala's eyes moved normally, seeing the pink robe fluttering in the wind under the sunlight outside the hotel.
The pitch-black long hair curled towards the surroundings like giant snakes.
Mercenary Tao had appeared.
