Blood-Boiling Combination Skill

To be honest, at that instant, Yu Sheng's mind hadn't caught up either. He had no idea what Zheng Zhi had seen, nor what the situation even was, and he was absolutely certain that Hu Li and Irene were in the same state—Luna was debatable, Miss Saint was probably the only one in the entire hotel who thought before acting, a bit calmer than the others…

But not understanding the situation didn't stop Yu Sheng and his friends from taking action, because the hotel's corporate culture had always been to use overwhelming force to solve problems that overwhelming intelligence couldn't—after all, with Irene dragging down the average, the whole hotel couldn't scrape together any overwhelming intelligence anyway, so might as well just rush headlong into it.

Besides, in the alien realm, there was no need to worry about damage compensation.

Flames, explosions, blood, spider silk, and the ball Irene had thrown out—although Yu Sheng and his group couldn't figure out what the nephew had actually seen, one thing was certain: whatever he saw vanished in an instant. So, in desperation, everyone threw out every trick they had on hand, gambling that they could blast something out while the environment was still unstable. And as it turned out… they actually did blast something out.

Yu Sheng wasn't even sure which move had worked, but he saw cracks appearing out of thin air nearby. The nearest one was only two or three meters away, right where he had just spat out a mouthful of blood. The farthest extended over a hundred meters into the thick fog—the tail missiles Hu Li had launched bloomed into brilliant blue fireballs in the fog, and several twisted shadows were blasted out of the fog, screaming, then slammed into the cracks and were torn to shreds instantly.

Not sure whether those shadows included Zheng Zhi's great-grandma.

"Holy shit, it actually worked!" Irene was stunned. The little doll raised her head and watched a huge crack expanding across the street opposite them, then suddenly snapped back to reality and immediately raised a hand to pull.

Countless fine black spider silk threads spread from her fingertips. The threads moved like living things, weaving rapidly through the air along the directions the cracks had spread, then clinging to the spatial rift that seemed to be the "main crack," which churned with strange colors inside, blocking its closure.

"I'm holding it! I'm holding it!" the little doll yelled, so excited her eyes glowed red. Almost simultaneously, the surrounding swarm of temporary spatial cracks that had appeared due to the spatial instability began to fade rapidly—only the main crack, which she was forcibly interfering with using her spider silk, remained in a stalemate. "Not enough, not enough, I need to make it bigger… Something on the other side is forcibly closing this thing…"

The little doll grew a bit agitated as she shouted. She looked around, then crawled quickly along her own black web up to the crack, picked up the Omen Wandering Star she had thrown out earlier, blew on it, then raised it high and smashed it hard against the spatial rift: "Hey!"

The solid gray stone ball struck the theoretically untouchable spatial structure, producing a resonant boom like a great bell or cauldron. Twisted ripples spread from the point of impact, even briefly dispelling the fog on the street.

The last time Yu Sheng had seen this ball used to hit things was when Hu Li used it to crack walnuts.

Now, it was clearly showing power many times greater than cracking walnuts, along with… a bizarre nature.

"Hey!"

The little doll raised the gray stone ball high again, swung it with all her might against the edge of the crack, while her other hand pulled hard at the black web, trying to tear the spatial channel open further.

She didn't know why this was working, or why her spider silk had this ability to sustain a spatial rift. For a few moments, she didn't even know what she was doing.

But she vaguely remembered that this wasn't the first time she had done something like this… When was it? When she had helped Yu Sheng open that door to the Black Forest? Or even earlier?

The doll laughed excitedly, smashing the stone ball against the crack again, sending a large patch of fractured, flickering cracks through midair.

An even stronger shockwave wrinkled a large area of space, driving away the fog on the street and briefly tearing open the street itself like a curtain being parted. Yu Sheng stared dumbfounded at his surroundings, seeing the Mist City's block scene seem to split into countless cracks for an instant, the tall buildings turning into jagged, monstrous black stone pillars or some sort of molten, piled-up ruins, and deep abysses opening up beneath the entire city, bottomless, along with jet-black, lightning-like substances floating above those shattered pillars, stretching to infinity.

But the torn image of Mist City lasted only an instant. The next second, everything before his eyes returned to the intact street—while the patch of cracked space that Irene had smashed open with the stone ball quietly shattered and opened like peeling wallpaper.

Zheng Zhi felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. During the last shockwave, he even thought he saw an entire battalion of great-grandmas—with a few second grandpas mixed in.

Then the great-grandmas and second grandpas turned into a twisted, expanding spatial channel. On the other side of the channel was a brightly lit hall, filled with a large number of technical personnel urgently evacuating and Black Spot soldiers on high alert.

"Type III incident! Rift out of control! Shut down the power, shut down the rift generator's power!"

Someone was shouting loudly in the hall. Above the conspicuous anti-gravity platform, the black boundary bridge fragment was trembling violently within the containment force field. Violet-black lightning bolts burst forth from that ancient and mysterious "Zolda Black Stone," slamming fiercely against the barrier as if trying to break free.

Dazzling red light flashed above the platform. Several devices around the platform were sparking and smoking. Two technicians carrying fire axes charged courageously toward the platform, desperately chopping through the power cables of some equipment, but the next second, they were blasted away by violet-black lightning bolts that leaped from the barrier, falling to the ground, their fate unknown.

Zheng Zhi couldn't observe further—because the heavily armed Black Spot soldiers on the other side of the channel had already started shooting at them. As the weakest fighter on this side, he could only clumsily duck behind the nearest cover.

"Fight's on! Fight's on!" Irene squealed excitedly. Two ion beams passed through the rift and grazed her hair before hitting the ground. She quickly descended along the silk threads to the ground, then crawled on all fours like an alien, scurrying along several silk threads toward Yu Sheng, dodging the hail of bullets behind her purely on instinct while being ridiculously excited. "Crawl, crawl, I can crawl so fast!"

"Seal the breach! It's these people again!" a combatant on the opposite side of the spatial channel who looked like a commander shouted, pointing at the little doll quickly crawling along the web. "Eliminate that… freak! She's the one interfering with the rift!"

"You're the freak! Your whole family's a freak!" Irene bristled, turning her head and shouting curses across the channel, then raised a hand—dozens of twisted light and shadows appeared around her instantly.

A horde of mass-produced dolls she summoned from the valley appeared near the rift and began exchanging fire with the Black Spot soldiers over there.

"Nice one! Irene, hold them off!" Yu Sheng shouted as he saw this, then turned and ran toward the nine-tailed fox who was using a fox radish machine gun to suppress the fire from the other side. "Hu Li!"

As soon as he spoke, the great demon fox quickly turned around, and at the same time, a tail shot toward him with propulsive flames. Hu Li's voice sounded particularly cheerful: "Got it!"

An immense crisis suddenly struck the Black Spot commander.

It was an ill omen sent down from the stars.

"Blow up the rift generator!"

A series of explosions echoed from the hall on the other side of the channel. Flames and smoke rose from the edge of the channel. The next second, the unstable edge began to flicker violently and fluctuate unpredictably. The web Irene had used to keep the rift open was instantly hit hard, rapidly breaking and shattering.

Irene let out a startled cry. The impact of the severed silk threads caused her reaction to lag, and several mass-produced dolls were struck by the enemy's fire on the spot—before they could even be teleported back to the valley, these mass-produced shells were blown to pieces.

Irene's head was buzzing—that was the impact of the low-level minds she had allocated to the mass-produced dolls returning to her continuously.

The unstable spatial rift began to close rapidly.

But by then, Yu Sheng had already climbed onto the fox's tail. He hugged the huge, fluffy thing, staring intently at the "Black Spot lab" located in some distant star region, his face glowing with excitement.

This feeling was like when he had ridden the Jumping Yu Lei toward the Derivative Star.

But this time, it was his and Hu Li's blood-boiling combination skill.

The next second, the fox tail erupted with fierce propulsive flames. The fox demon girl happily launched her benefactor.

The Black Spot soldiers on the other side of the rift watched in stunned bewilderment as a human with a wild grin charged straight toward the lab, holding a fire-breathing fox tail. Even in the deranged hallucinations caused by black stone pollution, no one in this lab had ever dreamed of such an absurd scene.

Muscle memory conditioned reflexes allowed the soldiers to make accurate and timely interception shots despite their shock. A hail of bullets wove into a net, shooting at the man flying over on the fox tail—the latter instantly took over a hundred hits all over his body.

To be honest, at that moment, the soldiers were a bit dumbfounded. They saw Yu Sheng flying over and subconsciously expected some kind of invulnerable monster. But then their weapons had pierced this bizarre enemy so easily, riddling him with holes.

Then this blood-soaked sieve, still grinning with glee, rushed through the rift, flying into the lab in the last second before the spatial channel closed.

The spatial channel closed.
