Abyss Sequence-Chapter 487 - 62: Thought

The [Destructive Death Light] couldn't kill Yan Luo, which slightly exceeded Roger's expectations.

Based on Roger's assessment of his abilities, this particular magic should have been able to kill Yan Luo.

But just at the moment the [Destructive Death Light] was fired, Yan Luo seemed to have sensed something in advance and dodged the vital parts.

Although he didn't succeed in killing Yan Luo with one blow, Roger wasn't too disappointed.

Rather, this was the result he could accept!

After all, Yan Luo is a Saint, and a Saint who has awakened his extraordinary power at that.

Yan Luo, like himself, is a Saint, and to reach the Sequence One level within just over a year is a feat worthy of his 'Saint' status.

Since he couldn't kill Yan Luo with one strike, then he would just have to try a bit harder!

The cockpit closed again, and Roger piloted the mech rushing towards Yan Luo at high speed.

The [Destructive Death Light] didn't kill Yan Luo but did inflict a serious injury. To recover, it might take some time, and Roger felt he could seize this opportunity.

The massive mech turned into a stream of light, appearing in front of Yan Luo in an instant. Roger extracted Magic Power from the void to create a giant sword for the mech as a weapon.

It wasn't a cold weapon but a Hot Melt Sword.

When the Hot Melt Sword materialized, it illuminated the dark space, and even though the surrounding environment continually scavenged the heat from the blade, the Hot Melt Sword in the mech's hand still seemed like a small sun.

The mech raised the sword and swung it down, the intense heat drawing close to Yan Luo's head.

Using magnetic field powers to accelerate his body's recovery, Yan Luo lifted his head, the wounds on his face rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, as the circular wound edges grew tiny flesh buds. The fine and soft buds entangled with others nearby, weaving a new cheek for Yan Luo.

Seeing the Hot Melt Sword slicing down, Yan Luo took a deep breath, some oxygen leaking from the wound in his lung.

He suddenly threw an uppercut—Yan Luo actually used his fist to collide with the Hot Melt Sword.

The magnetic field energy enveloping his body seemed to be sucked up by a vortex, forming a spiral energy flow, eventually converging at the front of his fist.

His fist directly met the Hot Melt Sword, the magnetic field energy clashing with the high temperature.

Feeling the pressure as he lacked part of the magnetic field energy due to needing to heal his injuries, Yan Luo watched as he was about to be overwhelmed by the downward force of the Hot Melt Sword, yet his heart started pounding faster.

The magnetic field energy filling his body suddenly expanded!

Initially having only 110,000 units of magnetic field energy, it suddenly jumped, reaching 120,000 units, 130,000 units, 140,000 units... 150,000 units within a few seconds!

"150,000 units of energy! Elemental Magnetic Battle Blade! Break!"

Roger, sitting in the cockpit preparing the next magic, twitched his eyelid. Perceiving the sudden expansion of Yan Luo's extraordinary power, he found it unbelievable.

Even more unbelievably, in the scene before him, the Hot Melt Sword appeared to have collided with some weapon, smashing into fragments and scattering everywhere.

"What's happening?!"

Even as a fellow Saint, Roger found it difficult to understand the state Yan Luo was displaying at the moment.

Why, all of a sudden, had Yan Luo's power increased so much?

Roger's eyes focused on Yan Luo, his expression uncertain and doubtful, wanting to understand why Yan Luo suddenly burst out with such powerful strength.

If this question were posed to Yan Luo, his answer would be—

He didn't know!

He himself was unsure why he could suddenly erupt with such powerful energy. He was merely thinking that he absolutely couldn't lose, that he had to kill Roger.

Beyond that, he had no other thoughts in mind.

So, why could he explode with such power?

This question might have to be answered with the content of the manga "Sea Tiger".

"Is it emotion?"

Yan Luo murmured to himself.

He believed that powerful emotions could drive stronger energies. He had thought that he was merely cultivating his own creation, which bore some resemblance to the manga "Sea Tiger", an apparently similar yet actually different magnetic field power.

Yet, without realizing it, he had truly brought the manga's settings into reality.

On the other hand, after a brief contemplation, Roger understood the source of Yan Luo's sudden power boost.

"It is indeed the power of the 'Saint'."

Magic Power is a special force attracted by 'thought'. Ordinary people can use their will to guide Magic Power to craft Engravings for themselves, but Saints, who are beyond commoners, have notably more resilient wills.

Only as ordinary people, by overcoming stronger foes with weak mortal strength and subduing Magic Power with immensely powerful will on the brink of death, can one become a Saint.

Ordinary people 'attract' Magic Power, but Saints 'subdue' it.

The willpower of a Saint is inherently formidable, and after continuous honing, by the time they reach Sequence One level, their will is strong enough to tame their environment.

What Yan Luo did earlier was simple, he 'commanded' his own body.

Achieving such a feat before realizing the essence of being a Saint is quite an enviable quality for such a young man!

Roger held Yan Luo in high regard, which is why he was so surprised by Yan Luo at this moment.

He never would have thought that beneath Yan Luo's cold exterior lay a heart so emotional and intense.

For a moment, Roger thought that if it were Yan Luo, perhaps there was a chance to defeat the Evil God without using vile means.

But the next second, he discarded this naive notion.

Never pin hopes on others, just like he did in the past on the United States, hoping for a glorious resurgence in the face of a strong enemy.

But reality proved that no matter how a decayed nation struggles, its core won't change.

Yan Luo would hinder his plans, so he must be killed!

"Hah!" Roger exhaled a sigh of determination.

He finally remembered what he was fighting for.

Not the empty slogan 'kill the Evil God' which has been shouted for decades, but the original resolve to 'save the world, rescue civilization'.

For this initial idea, he wouldn't hesitate to pose as an 'Abyssal Believer' to disrupt humanity, or spend decades cultivating a fallen city of sin.

No matter how filthy his deeds became, with no one understanding him, he would carry on.

Because it's all for saving the world!

"As long as there remains one righteous person in this world, I won't give up on it!"

Roger transformed himself into the [Priest] Sequence, using healing powers to restore his right arm, then reverted to the [Mage], [Elemental Master], and [Mecha Engineer] Sequences.

"Yan Luo, there are two Saints here!!"

The dial placed before Roger broke through its limits with his roar, a limitless radiance bursting forth.

A tremendous blazing light surged out of the thrusters behind the mech, light blossoming from the mech's exterior shell openings and joint areas.

"What else can you do besides obstructing my plans? Without a plan, how do you fight the Evil God?!"

The roar from the mech abruptly inserted into Yan Luo's mind, and Yan Luo looked up at the massive mech a short distance away, watching it charge toward him swiftly.

Thus, Yan Luo clenched his fists.

His entire magnetic field power surged, a lightning bolt also bursting in his mind, enveloping Yan Luo's fierce will, piercing into the mech.

"My plan is no plan! Since thought currents themselves are part of the Evil God, and I am part of Blue Star, then the Evil God surely knows any plans I make against it. No plan is the best plan, meaning the Evil God won't know how I'll deal with it!"

Upon learning Roger's explanation of the 'Evil God', such an idea surfaced in Yan Luo's mind.

Therefore, he needed to take care of Roger, not only for revenge for his parents and those who perished at the hands of Abyssal Believers over the years but also to counter the Evil God.

Yan Luo deemed Roger too naive, perhaps unable to turn back after carrying out a plan for decades, but that can't justify Roger's continuous persecution of innocent people.

Has Roger never considered that Celestial City is also part of the Blue Star Civilization, something impossible to transcend?

No, he surely knows, but he can't turn back.

Otherwise, he cannot forgive himself, so he can only keep going down the wrong path.

"Roger Wilson, I'm here to save you!"
