Chapter 542: Return
Sweat poured down Mai's body as he continuously teleported, rapidly changing positions within the Paradise.
Just a little more, just a little more!
He was almost enveloped by that dark blue barrier.
While he wasn't sure if that barrier could seal him, he had already seen clearly that the group of people who came were all formidable individuals.
They were definitely Reincarnators who were either close to Title-level or had already reached Title-level.
He attempted an assassination using his Mental hypnosis ability, but the space's prompt indicated that his ability was exempted.
Then, the thin, gray-haired old man simply snapped his fingers, and a massive explosion occurred out of thin air.
"Miss Jin, has your support not arrived yet?!"
"There are too many of them; I can't hold them off!"
Mai screamed into the microphone, somewhat losing his composure, but the woman's voice on the other end was utterly cold.
"You don't need to hold them off; just play with them for a bit~"
Jin Yue'an simply didn't believe that someone of Tao Pai Pai's caliber would die silently in a mission world.
His stall hadn't disappeared, which meant that in the space's judgment, Tao Pai Pai must still be alive, just unable to return due to some special circumstances.
She simply instructed Mai to stall for as much time as possible to prevent that group from finding the hotel where Tao Pai Pai was before entering the space.
That could potentially cause Tao Pai Pai to encounter a large number of ability-based attacks and suffer an accident the moment he returned to the real world.
As for other things, like the survival of the Paradise, whether this city would be destroyed, or whether Mai would die, Jin Yue'an didn't care at all.
She sat in the hotel lobby, slowly taking off her glasses. Her pupils immediately sharpened, and her purplish-red eyes shimmered like crystals.
Beep, beep.
Another satellite phone rang; it was a phone specifically used by Goryeo for emergency contact.
After she answered, a clear, cold female voice spoke.
"Hold those people off for half a day; I'll bring people over."
Jin Yue'an was a bit surprised. She had actually noticed unusual voices within the March Conglomerate for a long time.
She guessed that Li Qingzi's relationship with Tao Pai Pai was not as equal as rumored.
Now that Tao Pai Pai had met with misfortune, the other party did not intend to take complete control of Goryeo's affairs.
She even planned to risk coming to participate in the battle?!
Jin Yue'an suddenly shifted, ducking below the window. Through the glass, she saw a child, made entirely of golden sand, floating in the sky.
Under the cover of the dark clouds, the Doom Sun, formed by black flames behind his head, gently fluctuated.
"That's... Daikokuten!"
Is the Terminus Great Sun trying to kill Tao Pai Pai?!
As this thought appeared in her mind, Daikokuten in the sky immediately lowered his head, his gaze locking onto Jin Yue'an's location.
Whoosh!
Black flames ignited in the air. The next moment, Jin Yue'an agilely rolled backward, putting dozens of meters of distance between them.
In the hotel lobby, dark flames burned, and a young man with dark golden skin stepped out of the flames.
He had already comprehended his divine ability; his 'Other-Heart Link' allowed him to perceive others' thoughts about him.
Jin Yue'an's hands dropped, and powerful Mental power transformed into two purple blades, extending about forty centimeters in length.
The pristine marble floor of the lobby was immediately cut open.
"Is that a variant ability of the 'Psylocke'? It seems you're not without potential, hmm... and a pair of demonic eyes. Are those..."
"Gemstone demonic eyes with x-ray vision and future sight."
Jin Yue'an frowned tightly, forcing herself to compose her thoughts. The other party clearly possessed mind-reading abilities.
She had to use other thoughts to cover up that...
Daikokuten watched with interest as the woman frantically filled her mind with various chaotic images, including some explicit fantasies that would probably be very appealing to others.
But he merely continued to read the deeper thoughts of the woman.
The human mind, sometimes, is just very difficult to control from running wild.
The more you try to hide something, the more obvious it becomes.
Daikokuten smiled, and suddenly saw Tao Pai Pai's face in the woman's mind, not the red, distorted, grotesque appearance of his 'avatar' in the space.
It was a handsome, slightly sinister young man with long hair seemingly flowing without wind behind him.
"You are very loyal to Tao Pai Pai, aren't you..."
He spread his hands, and black flames began to ignite around him like lotus flowers, almost instantly sealing off the hotel lobby.
"I admire your loyalty, woman. Join the Terminus Great Sun. I can make you a member of my subordinate squad."
"Do not attempt to cross these black flames. Even if you are fast, you will be burned to charcoal in an instant."
Despite his childish appearance, he spoke impeccably, without much hostility, but also without giving the impression of being easy to talk to.
Daikokuten was also one of those powerful Reincarnators whose original 'code name' had begun to be forgotten due to long-term occupation of a title, slowly turning the title into his code name.
As the first-ranked follower under the Terminus Great Sun, he was already a top-tier Reincarnator.
His strength was even superior to that of Tang Sanzang, who died in the B711 world.
Jin Yue'an panted continuously, then slowly withdrew her Mental ability. She had no chance against such an enemy.
"Don't worry, woman. If Tao Pai Pai is willing to join, His Excellency will naturally give him a chance."
"In fact, His Excellency is willing to give the second-ranked follower position to Tao Pai Pai."
This was Daikokuten's own decision, but he believed that if Tao Pai Pai could truly accept it, His Excellency would certainly not object.
Tao Pai Pai's potential was undeniable; he was a rare talent that any Supreme Expert would vie for.
Boom boom boom!
Outside, explosions continuously occurred in various districts. That teleporting insect was attracting the foolish 'Great Demon,' causing destruction everywhere.
Daikokuten remained unmoved; he had already read the result he wanted.
Tao Pai Pai... is here!
Jin Yue'an sighed, lowering her head as if accepting Daikokuten's arrangement.
She slowly walked towards Daikokuten, but Daikokuten lowered his eyelids and sighed.
Jin Yue'an suddenly erupted, her pupils instantly lighting up. In an instant, Daikokuten felt his body surrounded by some force, unable to move.
The purple light in the woman's hand also flared up instantly, stabbing towards him.
Pfft!
Jin Yue'an felt a pain in her chest. She saw her blade clearly pierce Daikokuten's chest, yet it was she who was pierced instead.
"Woman, even if you hide well, all your thoughts will be exposed the moment you attack."
"And the most crucial point is the chasm-like strength difference between you and me."
"Even if I pretend not to know your thoughts, you cannot kill me."
Daikokuten clasped his hands together, his face filled with compassion. The next moment, black flames instantly erupted from beneath Jin Yue'an's feet.
Just at this moment, Daikokuten suddenly looked up at the top of the lobby.
Boom!
The ceiling shattered, and a strong burst of freezing air crashed down. In an instant, the entire lobby turned into a massive ice block.
And Jin Yue'an's figure had disappeared.
Daikokuten, frozen in ice, moved his eyes normally, seeing a pink robe fluttering in the wind under the sunlight outside the hotel.
His dark long hair coiled around him like a great snake.
Tao Pai Pai appeared.
