The Divine Throne Of Infinity

The hunchback old man soaring in the sky suddenly seemed to have realized something. His eyes bulged as he stared at the airplane above that was gradually shrinking in size, his face turning an ashen hue!

He frantically tried to release the button of his parachute, but it was as if the button was rusted shut, not moving at all no matter how much he pulled.

The old man grew desperate, pulling with even greater force.

Snap!

Suddenly—

The old man felt the button loosen.

Was it open?

The hunchback old man felt an overwhelming surge of elation!

But before he could fully delight in his joy, the wrinkles on his face completely stiffened.

The pull ring...

It broke!

The damn thing actually broke!

Why the hell is my Strength Attribute so freakishly high ahhh!

Tears of regret seeped from the old man's eyes.

"Damn it ahhhhhhhh!"

The voice was full of sorrow, desolation, echoing with untold stories.

…

…

On the airplane.

The cabin's lighting system had completely gone out.

The plane was about to pass through the Thunderstorm Area, but it seemed that its crash was inevitable.

"Sssssss… zzzz, flight 444 landing successfully in 4 minutes... please return to your seats to avoid a complete obliteration..."

The business-attired woman was dumbfounded; she seemed not to have recovered from the news of Blondie's death.

The first one to skydive, Blondie, was dead.

Four minutes!

With the speed of the plummeting plane... we can't wait any longer!

If we wait any longer, even if we parachute out, it will be too late to open them!

But on the plane... there were no other passengers, no other parachutes!

"No! Wait! Maybe..."

The business-attired woman looked toward a certain part of the cabin.

There lay a passenger!

A passenger who, from the very beginning, had been forgotten by everyone, lying on the ground, unconscious!

Not right?!

The woman's pupils suddenly contracted; she abruptly realized that from the start of the mission until now, she seemed to have overlooked something.

Something very important!

Wait, why didn't anyone notice such an important matter??

The moment the business-attired woman figured it out, she felt a chilling terror surge through her, as if she had fallen into an ice pit.

Suddenly, the plane jolted violently, and the woman lost her footing, being swept out by the updraft coming through the cabin door!

She crashed harshly against the cockpit door.

…

[Prepared Angel Envoy 1002, dead!]

…

That old man... also dead!

Yi Lin didn't wait any longer. With the light from the lightning outside the plane, he approached the unconscious passenger's seat and took out the life-saving box.

He had already quietly taken another 'ticket' from the unconscious passenger while checking on him at the start.

Yi Lin opened the life-saving box under the unconscious passenger's seat. Anyone not a complete fool would have noticed by now that there should be two 'Props' in each box.

Inside was a life vest. And another item… hmm? Interesting.

[Obtained "Life Vest"]

…

[Life Vest]

[Rarity]None

[Description]A very snug life vest, high quality, securely worn, ensuring that even if only the body remains, it would still float steadily to the surface.

…

"…"

An attribute that leaves one speechless.

However.

That's not important.

In the entire trial scenario, what Yi Lin was most concerned about was actually the ordinary life-saving hammer that the hunchback old man took right at the beginning.

All items were locked in the life-saving box.

Only one's own 'ticket' could open it.

But that life-saving hammer, with its eye-catching crimson color, was hanging within easy reach.

It might as well have had a label next to it—

[I want you, I want you, I want you]

Isn't that clearly like saying there are no silver taels here?

It's like a beautiful woman suddenly running over with a shy face, tenderly telling you, "I'm home alone today, my bed is so cold tonight, I can eat ice cream, I feel empty, lonely, and cold..."

What's the difference between that and "Come on, come on, hurry up"?

Actually... there is none.

According to Yi Lin, who had spent years in the Inside World, existence itself justifies reason.

The most unique existence must have the most special significance.

...

[Ordinary Life-Saving Hammer]

[Rarity] None

[Description] This is an ordinary life-saving hammer, apart from breaking open doors and windows, it has no special features.

...

Yi Lin's expression changed!

"So it's this thing..."

Without another word, Yi Lin gripped the small hammer and walked directly to the solitary confinement cockpit door, swinging the tiny hammer lightly at the thick cockpit door.

Clang!

The moment the life-saving hammer struck the cockpit door, countless spiderweb-like cracks spread out from the point of impact.

The metal door, sturdy enough to be bulletproof, appeared as fragile as glass in front of that ordinary life-saving hammer!

Yi Lin's expression remained calm, showing not the slightest surprise at the bizarre sight before him.

Strike again!

Yi Lin hammered down once more!

Crash!

It shattered!

The heavy metal door was easily smashed to pieces by just a hammer.

And it was just an ordinary-looking life-saving hammer.

Next to the cockpit, the professional-dressed beauty who was hit so hard that she was in pain and unable to move for a while, witnessed this miraculous scene with her mouth agape in a O-shape, unable to close for a long time.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

From the time Yi Lin arrived at the cockpit door to the moment he smashed it with the hammer, it took merely ten seconds.

There's no time left!

Yi Lin could feel the plane's descent speeding up, having already fallen below the thunderstorm area.

Outside the cabin was the pitch-black night sky!

After smashing the cockpit door, a blast of wind mixed with broken glass hit Yi Lin in the face, leaving streaks of blood.

Life Value...

99%...

98%...

Even Yi Lin's Life Value was scraped away by the broken glass.

The lighting system was down, and darkness surrounded everything.

In the distance, a small artificial intelligence robot spoke with a voice no longer sweet, but piercing and shrill, "ZzZzZz...sizzle, Flight 444's successful landing in 3 minutes... you're gonna die, you're gonna die, you're gonna die..."

The robot was barely taller than a Barbie doll, with a mouth that stretched to its ears and two round blush spots on its cheeks; its eyes flickered with a dim electronic glow.

What would otherwise be a cute robot appeared rather eerie in this setting.

Who would've thought it'd be this sort of Xiao Tiantian!

In the front of the cabin, all glass was shattered, and the pilot's head drooped lifeless in the pilot's seat, with sharp glass fragments sticking out from head to toe, reflecting a cold light in the darkness, utterly silent, seemingly long dead.

At that moment, nearly imperceptible footsteps could be heard from behind.

Without expression, Yi Lin moved between the shattered cockpit door and the pilot's cabin into a small pantry and without hesitation, activated his unique skill.

[Aura Conceal]!

The effect of Aura Conceal is to reduce one's presence by 40% when standing still.

Of course, reducing presence doesn't equate to invisibility.

But in such darkness, this effect was undoubtedly amplified to the extreme.

A tall figure, ghost-like, passed through the destroyed doorway where Yi Lin had smashed the cockpit door.

As he passed by Yi Lin, he didn't notice Yi Lin's presence immediately.

Yi Lin held his breath, and as the figure was passing by within half a body's distance...

A cold glint flashed in Yi Lin's eyes, and with a flip of his hand, a small fruit knife sliced towards the figure's neck like lightning!

It targeted the location of the carotid artery in the human neck!

Yi Lin was very familiar with this anatomical spot.

Extremely familiar.

Hiss—

The fruit knife tore a deep gash in the figure's neck!

A fountain of blood spurted from the gash!

That figure violently turned its head, its eyes emitting a ghostly green glow!

Like a demon!

It was Blondie!
