CHAPTER 1036: THE SOULS MOVE OUT

Chapter 1036: The Souls Move Out

The scene before them was incredibly serene, making it hard to bear disturbing it.

Totoro's adorably dumb appearance even caused Jingwei, who usually preferred keeping a cold face, to show some expression softening.

Women generally had little resistance against such oversized cute creatures.

However, Zhang Yi didn't have time to appreciate this elegant melody.

He raised his hand and directly set up ten Dimensional Gates around Totoro.

Then he openly appeared right in front of it.

Upon seeing a human, Totoro immediately became alert, its facial expression gradually shifting from dumb cuteness to ferocity.

Zhang Yi didn't waste time with words either, directly drawing Holy Judgment and covering the area with one move of [Heavenly Net and Earthly Snare]!

Unexpectedly, although that Totoro appeared clumsy, its movement speed was actually incredibly fast.

As over a dozen slashes descended through the void, its speed created a series of afterimages.

Even Zhang Yi couldn't help feeling somewhat surprised.

This creature had a unique sensitivity to space, actually causing Zhang Yi's first strike to achieve limited effect.

Its speed far exceeded that of many high-level superhumans!

Zhang Yi continued attacking without hurry or delay.

The Dimensional Gates had already enveloped the space around it, forming a natural cage.

No matter how fast it dodged, Zhang Yi could continuously change the gate positions to pursue, intercept, and block it.

Then, it was time for the hunt!

Zhang Yi held White Owl in his left hand and Holy Judgment in his right, using the pistols for shooting while employing Void Slash to disrupt its movements.

"Hiss—"

The enraged Totoro opened its large mouth and let out a sharp hissing sound, a raging frost storm erupting from its body!

Yet this powerful force was completely absorbed by the Dimensional Gate in front of Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi was very patient - he felt quite curious about this thing and wanted to study it slowly rather than hastily kill it.

After all, any creature trapped by his Dimensional Gates couldn't possibly escape - being captured alive was just a matter of time.

Totoro's expression turned extremely fierce as it continuously jumped and dodged, resembling an agile meatball.

However, it had to both evade ten invisible Dimensional Gates and deal with Zhang Yi's continuously launched attacks, quickly becoming quite disheveled.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Caught off guard, two Sacred Silver bullets tore through its fur, actually causing blue blood to flow out!

"This thing is..."

Zhang Yi's eyes widened slightly.

"A living creature?"

Source sprites were merely energy entities and couldn't possibly have blood. After capture, they would transform into pure origin power for superhumans to absorb.

But this Totoro was clearly not a source sprite!

"There's definitely something fishy about this - what exactly is it?"

Zhang Yi grew increasingly curious about Totoro, further solidifying his determination to capture this creature alive.

The toxic miasma that had wiped out half a country due to the Divine Source's presence hadn't killed it.

Instead, it had gained power attuned to the Divine Source's companion entities.

This creature definitely possessed some special abilities.

Totoro nimbly leaped through the air, dodging the bullets Zhang Yi fired.

Just as it was about to land, a massive Dimensional Gate opened beneath its feet.

Totoro could sense the wind direction changing beneath it and understood there must be some danger there.

At the critical moment, it unleashed a powerful ice and snow storm toward the ground, forcibly propelling itself back into the sky.

But by now, Zhang Yi no longer intended to continue playing with it.

Six Dimensional Gates simultaneously appeared around it, forming a tightly sealed massive hexahedron.

"Void Coffin!"

Totoro had now completely entered Zhang Yi's domain, and no matter how much it resisted, it inevitably fell into Zhang Yi's Dimensional Space.

Totoro - capture complete.

Zhang Yi looked at the large creature in his Dimensional Space, not really wanting to kill it.

This thing was interesting, and crucially, quite cute. At his current level, Zhang Yi didn't have particularly strong demand for origin power of this caliber.

Therefore, killing it wasn't absolutely necessary.

And such rare creatures were extremely hard to come by.

So after brief consideration, he injected it with Compound 3 to suppress its superhuman abilities, then tossed it to Lele to carry.

Although Totoro was large in size, for Lele it was only equivalent to carrying a backpack.

"Master, let's just eat it!"

Hua Hua was already growing impatient.

Its eyes shone with blazing fire, its tongue constantly licking the corners of its mouth.

Since Totoro carried the aura of the Divine Source and its own power appeared quite strong,

for a fierce beast like Hua Hua, it represented massive nourishment.

"Let's keep it for now. This creature is quite interesting - I plan to take it back for research."

Zhang Yi said while stroking his chin.

He felt deeply curious about anything related to the Divine Source.

So far, nobody knew exactly what the Divine Source was or how it came into existence.

Zhang Yi was someone who liked to know not just what something was, but why it was that way.

He still wanted to gather more intelligence about this thing.

With Zhang Yi having spoken, Hua Hua could only scratch its claws and helplessly watch the juicy prize slip away.

After being suppressed by Zhang Yi's drugs, Totoro had completely become an oversized useless creature.

It could only lie sprawled on Lele's back, its tongue hanging from the corner of its mouth, presenting a completely helpless appearance.

Jingwei couldn't resist walking over and reaching out to stroke its furry back, her face suddenly flushing with a faint blush.

The corners of her mouth seemed to reveal a barely perceptible smile.

This didn't escape Zhang Yi's notice.

He thought to himself: It seems this woman isn't as cold as she appears on the surface!

"Alright, we should leave now. We just had a fight here, and although the commotion wasn't too big, we can't guarantee nobody noticed."

"Let's be careful and leave early. We'll wait for the Divine Source to appear before taking action."

After speaking, Zhang Yi prepared to leave with the others.

But what he didn't know was that the moment he took action, a hunter who had been searching for him sensed his presence from a great distance away.

In the thick fog, Soul Reaper, this massive white monster, slowly raised its head, the bloody killing intent in its eyes almost becoming tangible.

The moment it sensed Zhang Yi's presence, without any hesitation, it violently kicked off the ground with both legs and shot forward like a cannonball!

With just a simple charge, all buildings along its path were smashed through, ice, snow, and dust soaring into the sky, leaving a long trail behind it!

It wanted to kill Chaos, because that was the meaning of its existence.

To kill its target, it could pay any price.

No, for it, there was no concept of cost, because its own life was fundamentally meaningless.

Only killing had meaning.
