Chapter 286: Big Fight Breaks Out

“No, I can’t leave. You’d better leave now before someone finds you!” Ye Yun pulled her hand out from Su Jin’s and shook her head at him helplessly.

“Why can’t you leave?” asked Su Jin.

“Shen Wu has planted a bug inside me. If I leave this area, the bug will immediately send a message to Shen Wu. Even if I run to a different world, the bug will still be able to communicate with Shen Wu and he will eventually locate me again,” said Ye Yun sadly. If it were so easy for her to leave, Shen Wu wouldn’t have allowed her to roam freely like this.

Su Jin frowned and said, “A bug? As long as it’s a living creature, I’ll be able to get rid of it.”

“You?” Ye Yun was a little doubtful.

Su Jin said gravely, “We’ve got to give it a shot!”

His plan was simple. He was going to scan her body with his psychokinesis. If that bug was a living thing, it would have a consciousness that his psychokinesis could detect. He just needed to crush its consciousness and the bug would become useless.

A powerful silvery glow surrounded Ye Yun as Su Jin used his psychokinesis to look for the bug. Just like what she had said earlier, if they didn’t get rid of the bug, there was no way they could escape.

Su Jin quickly detected a faint consciousness besides Ye Yun’s. Just like what he had expected, as long as it was a living thing, it would have a consciousness. It was just a matter of how obvious or faint it was.

He suddenly increased the intensity of his psychokinesis and crushed the bug’s consciousness in an instant. He was so relieved. This bug was really small and was almost as tiny as a human cell. If he wasn’t already so well trained in the use of his psychokinesis, it would have been very difficult to even detect it.

And immediately after Su Jin had crushed that bug, Shen Wu, who was still running after Pinocchio outside, suddenly froze. He glared furiously at his palace and growled, “This was a distraction!” He immediately turned and flew toward his palace like a beam of light.

Pinocchio blocked his way and cackled. “Our little game hasn’t ended yet! Whoever leaves first will be the loser!”

“Go away! Or I’ll break you into pieces of firewood and set you on fire!” yelled Shen Wu angrily. Ye Yun was holding onto something he wanted very badly and it was very precious to him. If he allowed her to escape just like that, the next person who might get ahold of her would be Natasha.

Pinocchio, however, froze as he murmured, “Firewood… set on fire…! You… you are angering Pinocchio! You are a bad guy!”

BOOM!

Pinocchio’s body grew rapidly in size. A sprout grew out from his head and sharp splinters grew from his skin. From afar, he looked like a wooden sculpture of a demon.

Shen Wu didn’t expect his words to anger Pinocchio like this. This was trouble indeed. He wasn’t afraid of getting killed by a deity in his own city, but if this deity was bent on blocking his way, it was going to take him a long time to fight Pinocchio off.

“You can leave this to us!” Alex and three others appeared. These three were also members of Team Court of Wrath, so their capabilities were above average.

Shen Wu’s face lit up as he nodded at them. “You just need to stall him. Once I settle the problem within the palace, I’ll come back and deal with him.”

“Got it!” Alex nodded.

Shen Wu ran off, but Pinocchio wasn’t going to let him leave just like that. However, before he could give chase, Alex stretched his palm out and several walls of light appeared around Pinocchio, trapping him inside.

God’s City was a place that belonged to Shen Wu and his team, so the entire city was designed to strengthen Shen Wu and his team. Not even a deity could cause too much chaos here.

Pinocchio scoffed at the walls around him. A splinter on his shoulder grew longer and shattered one wall.

Alex smiled faintly as he touched the ring on his finger. The ground beneath him opened and revealed several mirrors, which created reflections of his walls of light. These reflections strengthened the walls several times and trapped Pinocchio once again.

“Go away!” Pinocchio was furious, but it wasn’t so easy to break through the wall this time. Besides, Alex wasn’t the only one here. Alex’s three teammates were no less powerful than him. But for as long as Alex’s walls of light were good enough to trap Pinocchio in place, they didn’t need to risk fighting Pinocchio themselves.

Meanwhile, Wu Chen had led everyone to the AI control center in the middle of the city. He had taken on the shape of a middle aged man, who actually held the highest rank in the city they were in. This man had been pretty formidable, but Wu Chen was more powerful than him. After killing him, Wu Chen transformed himself into this man and was given admin access to the AI.

“How do I use this thing? I’ve never been trained in this before!” Wu Chen slapped his forehead and looked at his companions. After searching the city for information, they had just gathered back together again.

“Based on what Bo Ya and I found out, the AI can teleport people from here to other places. God’s City, where Shen Wu is, is connected to this teleportation function. We just need to find a way to activate this function and we’ll be able to get ourselves to God’s City,” said Situ Jin.

Kano Mai piped up, “From what I gathered, it seems like God’s City is in complete chaos, and that’s why travelling to the city is prohibited worldwide. It’s probably something to do with Jin.”

“That means we have to get to God’s City in order to meet with Jin. That’s pretty obvious now,” said Bo Ya.

Wu Chen nodded, then sighed. “But how do we activate this thing? This AI is too technologically advanced compared to the computers of my world. I can’t even find the power switch.”

Nobody knew what to do either. Judging from what they had seen, this planet seemed to have made a great technological leap. Shen Wu had probably used some high-tech thing from the Handbook to help the people here make a breakthrough, which improved their levels of technology.

“Let me take a look!” Bo Ya stepped forward bravely. But she didn’t have access rights, so she could only attempt to give Wu Chen instructions.

“Are you sure?” asked Chu Yi anxiously.

Situ Jin patted Chu Yi’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry! Bo Ya is the tech genius of our department. She’s a real expert in programming.”

Bo Ya did not disappoint Situ Jin’s compliments at all. She quickly understood how this AI worked and gave Wu Chen the right instructions to activate the teleportation function.

“Wow… all of you are great, and I’m so useless…” Chu Yi felt rather embarrassed. He had gone round the city too, but failed to accomplish anything.

“Never mind that now! Get in here!” Wu Chen waved at Chu Yi to hop in. A bright white flash enveloped them and they were teleported to God’s City.

Meanwhile, Ye Yun and Su Jin had left the area she was in. But immediately after they stepped out of the main door, they ran into Natasha’s two subordinates. Instead of returning to help their superior, these two were bent on capturing Su Jin.

“Damn it!” cursed Su Jin under his breath. He pulled Ye Yun behind him and got ready to fight his way out.

“Hey! I’m not some child who’s completely useless, you know? I’m ranked #113 among owners!” said Ye Yun proudly.

Su Jin blinked in surprise, then grinned stupidly as he slapped his own forehead. Just like what she said, she wasn’t some useless child who couldn’t fight. They could probably take these two down if they joined forces.

The four of them looked at each other menacingly, but just when they were about to fight, black flames fell from the sky and burned Natasha’s two subordinates to ashes.

Su Jin and Ye Yun were shocked by this sudden turn of events. The Mad Hatter’s voice resounded in Su Jin’s head, “Run! Shen Wu has returned to the palace, while Pinocchio and the Demon Lord are fighting other members of his team. I’m stuck here with Natasha as well, so you’ve got to find a way out yourselves.”

The Mad Hatter sounded rather anxious. He probably hadn’t expected things to turn out so badly when they first arrived.

And in reality, Su Jin was pretty unlucky. The power of three deities was definitely supposed to be more than enough to get the job done, but an owner powerful enough to fight a god like Natasha turned out to be here at the same time, so things became tougher than expected.

“Woah!” Ye Yun had discovered the now gigantic Mad Hatter and Natasha, who were engaged in a fierce battle. The Mad Hatter managed to help Su Jin with the two roadblocks earlier, but Natasha had also seized the chance to swipe him with her tail.

“That’s Natasha!” said Ye Yun as she pointed at the dragon.

Su Jin nodded, grabbed Ye Yun’s hand and started running. “Yup! That’s her! But now’s not the time to fangirl! We’ve got to get out of here!”

Before she could say anything, Su Jin dragged her toward the exit. He had a few teleportation crystals with him, which he had prepared just in case the Mad Hatter abandoned him halfway. They turned out to be useful after all.

But he quickly realized that while they were within the palace grounds, these crystals couldn’t work at all. These crystals were made by Shen Wu after all, so he had probably designed the palace such that nobody would be able to teleport themselves straight into his own house.

There was no other choice but to run out of the palace. But they hadn’t run for too long when Shen Wu came crashing in from above. Nobody in the palace could escape his detection.

“Ye Yun, hand that thing over and… I can let you go.” Shen Wu realized that things were getting a little out of hand, so he was willing to make a small compromise. He had three deities causing chaos here as well as the Jade Dragon King Natasha, who was almost equivalent to a god herself. He had to stop this mess as quickly as possible.

But Ye Yun shook her head and refused. “I’m never giving it to you. If I give it to you, then… this will not be the only world destroyed by you.”

Shen Wu’s eyes glinted. He sighed and shook his head, then said in a nasty voice, “Since that’s the case, you can go to hell! I’ll still be able to get it from your corpse!”

The surrounding temperatures started falling rapidly. Su Jin immediately activated the Protection of the Gods so that he would be immune to the change in temperature, then picked Ye Yun up and ran for it. But this wasn’t a long term solution. He had already used up a lot of his psychokinesis. If the three deities didn’t come over to help him, he was going to end up dead pretty soon.
