Lingering on the brink of death, Link's expression was extremely complex.

He didn't speak, because he felt there was nothing to say.

He didn't struggle either, because he was powerless against Infinite's devouring.

The Links in the sky who had yet to fall were the same… on each of them, the same changes were occurring as the Link on the ground; a stream of silver substance spreading from their chest robbed them of their ability to move in an instant.

Perhaps, in those final moments, Link was relieved. He accepted his fate, he understood Ed, and the meaning of his own life.

Or perhaps, he regretted it. He realized that his ideals were not necessarily correct, that Infinite was not their "savior," but a relentless "plunderer."

And it was also possible… that he thought of nothing, simply brought to an abrupt end amidst shock and contradiction.

In any case, his thoughts would never be known.

About ten seconds later, this self-proclaimed gentleman, one of the Origin's Big Three, was completely eroded by the silver substance, turning into a pure stream of data… absorbed into Infinite's body.

"This guy... actually did it to his own teammate..."

"Link just did everything he could to save him, I never thought..."

"So... what's the situation now?"

"I don't understand any of that special plan f stuff they were talking about, but… I get the gist of what ultimate evolution means."

"Even Infinite from just now was already ridiculously strong... Another evolution, is he going to defy the heavens?"

The players' attitudes didn't seem so tense at the moment, they had basically foreseen their own end. With a "we're all going to die anyway" mentality, everyone's curiosity outweighed despair and fear. What they were interested in now was—just how strong had Infinite become?

On the other hand, after completing the evolution, Infinite didn't change in appearance at all.

"This is…" After absorbing Link, he looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with white light surging with data streams, "The ultimate form I can achieve in this dimension, is it…"

He seemed oblivious to everyone around him, muttering to himself… completely unguarded.

"You villain! Take this, point-blank Pegasus Meteor Fist!" Just at this moment, Pegasus Skyhigh, who had just been stopped by the silver blade, charged up again.

Upholding the integrity of a hero, Brother Ma was very particular about shouting at his opponent and announcing the name of his technique at the same time.

As he himself said, this was a "point-blank" Pegasus Meteor Fist—simply put, it was standing at close range and directly attacking Infinite's body.

Attacking like this... would not only ensure that every punch hit its target, but also ensure that those punches would not lose the slightest bit of power in the process of flying.

"Idiot! It's useless! Don't go over there!" Atobe in the distance saw this scene and immediately shouted loudly.

Jin Fugui was still a good person after all, even though he knew in his heart that Brother Ma was probably beyond saving, he still shouted.

Bang, bang, bang, bang…

A second later, the sound of flesh-on-flesh (Infinite's body was composed of a substance that could instantly adjust its density and hardness; most of the time it felt like muscle, unless he deliberately hardened it) collisions rang out.

Faced with Brother Ma's offensive, Infinite chose to stand still and endure.

So, next… Pegasus Skyhigh used this skill, which was at least A-level in power, to continuously hit Infinite for a full minute… a full minute.

But Infinite always maintained that look of looking up at the sky, as if contemplating life. He did not react to the attack at all, and the attack did not cause him any damage.

"That really hurts..." Finally, after being continuously hit for a minute, Infinite lowered his head and looked down at Pegasus Skyhigh with a condescending gaze, "Every punch… hurts so much…"

"Haaah—" Brother Ma ignored the other party, just let out a long shout, and used his soul intent—[Seventh Sense]

The intense Little Universe suddenly raised the surrounding temperature, and even the ground beneath his feet began to melt and collapse…

"So hot..." Infinite still stood there like a mountain, without any movement, "As expected of the move that defeated Luther's Gemini form..." His database had this information, so he mentioned it, "But... it's useless against me now."

"Pegasus Mete—" Brother Ma was not willing to admit defeat, no matter what the other party said, he still wanted to punch.

However, Infinite didn't intend to let him throw the next punch: "Utterly boring!"

A second later, Infinite said four words, raised his right forearm, and flicked his index finger forward with a light touch…

Boom—

This flick destroyed a "spherical space" with a diameter of about three meters in front of him.

This flick created a black cavity in a layer of pale data links.

This flick left Pegasus Skyhigh without even a corpse.

"I… originally couldn't feel pain." After killing someone, Infinite didn't even blink, and continued with an indifferent tone, "But at this moment, I can feel it…" He slowly turned around, scanning all the players within his range of vision, "I'm beginning to understand you…" He shook his head, "Not only do you have short lifespans and low intelligence, but you also have to maintain fragile bodies under this primitive self-protection mechanism for the rest of your lives… No wonder you have evolved into what you are today."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised a hand high, his palm in the shape of a claw, with the palm facing the sky.

"I no longer despise you… As creatures, you are not shameful, you are just limited in ability and helpless." Infinite's words seemed to express sympathy for the players, but this emotion could not be read from his attitude at all, "Let me… relieve you of your pain in the fastest way possible."

Chi—

As soon as the words fell, a sharp whistle rose.

It was a close call! A green light shot out from Infinite's palm, soaring straight into the sky. Its speed was beyond the reach of sight.

Just 0.1 seconds later, the green light burst open in mid-air, forming a light resembling a willow tree crown; then… each "willow branch" scattered from that light rushed towards the surrounding players like a shooting star.

1. 5 seconds, that was the time it took for "Ultimate Infinite" to kill all the players on the scene.

Although there were still many players and they were standing very scattered, that was meaningless… Each of them was precisely pierced through the center of their eyebrows by the exploding green light, and instantly turned into white light.

Of course, when I say "all" and "everyone," there was one person who was an exception…

"Feng Bujue." Three seconds later, as waves of white light dissipated one after another, Infinite's gaze finally fell on that single "exception," "You know…" He asked in a tone as cold as a knife, "... Why I'm not killing you?"

If it was before Link was absorbed, then the answer to this question must be [Special Plan-f], but now… Infinite has completed his final evolution, so this plan, which has troubled him for a long time like handcuffs and shackles, has also been automatically lifted; at this moment… he can undoubtedly kill Brother Jue.

"Didn't you just say it?" As the last survivor on the scene, Feng Bujue's attitude was as calm as ever, "Because you want me to 'die ugly'."

"That's just one of the reasons." Infinite continued, "Another more important reason is…" He didn't wait for Brother Jue to ask, and said it himself, "I not only want to kill you, but also defeat you!"

"Oh?" Brother Jue smiled when he heard this, and asked knowingly, "Is there any difference between the two?"

"Of course there is." Infinite replied quickly, "It's easy to kill you, but it's hard to make you lose and be convinced that you've lost…"

"Heh… For you… it's not 'hard', but 'impossible'." Feng Bujue smiled evilly.

"Is that so?" Infinite also grinned, "Heh... but I don't think so..." He stretched out a hand and made a "please" gesture, "Come on, I know you still have cards up your sleeve. Anyway, the annoying guys have all been cleared away by me… You can show me all your skills."

"You will regret it." As Feng Bujue spoke, he had already reached into his bag.

"Hmph... I never knew what regret was." Infinite snorted coldly, "I don't think you can change this situation either." He was also full of confidence, "Aren't you resourceful and unfathomable? Today, I will make you fight until you run out of tricks and have no way to use them, and you will be defeated completely!"

"Okay~ okay~ don't worry." As Feng Bujue replied, he had already picked up the [Chuck Norris's Razor] from his bag and started shaving his hair.

"Hmm?" Seeing what Brother Jue took out, and his nonsensical behavior, an incomprehensible expression appeared on Infinite's face, and he thought to himself, "What is that?"

"You can't analyze it, right?" Even when shaving his head, Feng Bujue was still observing his words and actions, trying to guess the other party's psychological activities, "Hehe... don't worry, you'll know what this thing is for soon."

"Oh?" Infinite crossed his arms and folded them in front of his chest, and said with his head held high, "From my current observation… this thing doesn't seem to have any other effect other than turning you into a bald man."

"Still don't understand?" When asking this question, Feng Bujue had already shaved his head and patted the broken hair on his clothes.

After a two-second pause, Brother Jue squinted his dead fish eyes, and with a leisurely expression mixed with a trace of egg pain, he continued, "I'm bald, and I've become stronger."
