Higher Consciousness was a small element produced by the infinite laws of the apocalyptic world, and the Deluge was a force that could destroy all order in the apocalyptic world. So, if she tried to stop the Deluge with her Higher Consciousness, wouldn't it be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot?
When Lin Sanjiu saw the beautiful light, she didn't feel nervous at all. Turning around, exerting force, and running away were all part of her muscle memory. Or rather, it was programmed in her body. She had experienced the Deluge once before, but compared to the last time, the Deluge seemed to have more emotions. The light seemed to be reaching out its arms to embrace her, to bury her deep into its warm body. Lin Sanjiu also realized that she didn't resist being engulfed by the light.
The concept of "everything collapsing, collapsing, and vanishing by random" was like destruction and death. Sometimes, it had a despairing appeal. If not for the fact that she was still thinking about her friend, she might have walked into that gorgeous wave of light in a daze.
"Does this mean that the power of the Deluge has increased?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't have the time to think about that. She had to distance herself from the Deluge. Her usual method of wrapping her body with Higher Consciousness was definitely not going to work now. Even if it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, she had to do it. She had already condensed all the Higher Consciousness that Bohemia had lent to her. When she turned around and ran, she threw a large portion of her Higher Consciousness behind her.
Using her Higher Consciousness as a barrier between her and the Deluge was like using cotton candy to block fire.
Lin Sanjiu didn't need to turn her head to know that the Higher Consciousness was being swallowed and dissolved by the flood at an alarming rate. Even if the Higher Consciousness managed to stop the flood, it was only for a split second. Lin Sanjiu couldn't even feel the difference. The gentle wave-like light was only half a fingernail away from touching Lin Sanjiu.
If she continued to run like this, she would be teleported away before she could reach Hei Zeji.
Other than the portion of Higher Consciousness that Bohemia had lent to her, the little bit of Higher Consciousness that Lin Sanjiu had regained was thrown behind her as a second barrier to stop the Deluge. Even if she could only slow down the Deluge by a thousandth of a second, it was better than nothing.
"If my legs can move a little faster …"
Bohemia, who had been staring at her from afar, suddenly gasped sharply. The moment Lin Sanjiu heard the voice, she immediately knew that something had happened behind her. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to move a little faster than her top speed. When she finally found the opportunity to turn her head, she was so shocked that she almost tripped over her feet.
Amidst the rippling light of the flood, her Higher Consciousness was dispelled in an instant. Then, a new scene appeared in the water: a universe filled with stars, a residential building, and Magus' wide hat... J7's head, which was as big as a car, suddenly popped out of the light. When it pressed against Lin Sanjiu's back, the grand prize let out a soft sob.
Her Willpower lost its power and form, disintegrating into countless messy images in her mind in the flood.
"Don't be distracted." When they were halfway there, they suddenly heard a shout. It came from Hei Zeji. "Right leg!"
Bohemia must have drawn him into the Cross-path Garden!
Lin Sanjiu still remembered the training he had given her. She shuddered and instinctively stopped her right leg that was about to touch the ground. Her body fell straight down. Lin Sanjiu was already prepared for this. She pushed herself off the ground with her right hand and somersaulted in mid-air. It was only then that she realized that the light of the flood had spread to the spot where she was about to land. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she threw herself forward without any delay.
"Quick!" Hei Zeji was already not far from her. He leaned forward and stretched out his arm, "Grab me, I'll throw you out!"
"That way, I can escape the flood!"
The thought flashed across her mind. Without hesitation, she grabbed his outstretched arm.
Just when her fingers were about to touch Hei Zeji's palm, a small voice asked in the depth of her mind.
"Is Hei Zeji so close to me?
Isn't he at the other end of the room blocking the pocket dimension? Where is the pocket dimension? "
When the question popped up in her mind, she heard Bohemia's scream, "Don't touch me!" And Hei Zeji's angry roar, "Get your hand back!" Lin Sanjiu shuddered. When she realized that the "Hei Zeji" in front of her was glowing, it was already too late for her to pull back.
The real Hei Zeji was still standing about ten meters away from her. At that moment, his blood-red eyes burned into Lin Sanjiu's vision.
"Oh no."
The flood that she had stirred up wasn't just in one place. Apparently, the flood didn't only have one form.
It was hard for Lin Sanjiu to describe what happened next. It seemed that the moment her hand touched "Hei Zeji's" glowing palm, a shadow shot out from the right like a cannonball and crashed into Lin Sanjiu. Both of them tumbled to the ground. The moment she was forcefully pulled away from the hands of the flood, the two rays of light suddenly merged together, and "Hei Zeji" disappeared. The beam of light that was even more magnificent than before swept across half of the room like a tsunami. It swallowed the real Hei Zeji into a layer of glowing, gentle halos.
Before Lin Sanjiu could turn around to see who had thrown her out of the floodwater, she had no choice but to leap into the deepest corner of the room, where Bohemia was standing with her back pressed against the wall. Her eyes were as wide as an owl's. The figure behind Bohemia also lunged at her. The light of the floodwater flashed past their backs, and the gentle light shone brightly for a moment before it suddenly dimmed.
Lin Sanjiu lay on the ground for a few seconds before she realized that she was still there. She hadn't been touched or teleported away. Bohemia withdrew her Higher Consciousness and her senses returned to normal. The light of the flood had finally disappeared. Panting, she looked up and saw Hei Zeji not far away.
"I was touched," he looked down at his palm. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell what he was feeling. "But it didn't seem to work."
Lin Sanjiu wiped her face.
"There must be another way," she said in a hoarse voice. Then, she froze. Magus, who was covered by a layer of robe, was standing stiffly in the opposite corner of the room, leaning against the door. So, the person who had just knocked her out...
She turned around and looked at the woman behind her. She blinked slowly.
"Don't say anything," Wei Xing sighed. "We have to go now."
"Hei Zeji," Lin Sanjiu suppressed her emotions and didn't answer her. She quickly got up, "The pocket dimension behind you should have been touched by the flood. Do you feel anything —"
Her words were stuck in her throat.
Because Hei Zeji had disappeared.
