Chapter 1069: Biggest Crisis

Buzz~

After the system bug murmured again, a wave of Psychic Power-like fluctuations emanated from the white light dot. This special wave was tinged with a faint white glow and spread toward the faint Azura glow that was forming nearby.

Exhale~

As Lin Rui’s faint Azura Psychic Power slowly converged into a humanoid form, the faint white glow had already spread and quickly made contact with Lin Rui’s Psychic Power. Once these pale white rays touched Lin Rui’s Psychic Power, they attached themselves to the faint Azura glow.

Sensing something, the faint Azura Psychic Power, now attached to the pale white glow, became noticeably more active but couldn’t break free from the entanglement.

Soon, most of the faint Azura Psychic Power became intertwined with the pale white glow. However, the pale white rays didn’t do anything to the faint Azura glow; they simply hindered its continued convergence.

After forcibly blending with Lin Rui’s faint Azura Psychic Power, the pale white glow prevented the faint Azura glow from fully converging. In other words, these pale white rays hindered the awakening of Lin Rui’s consciousness. So, it seemed that the system bug didn’t want Lin Rui to wake up.

“That should do it…” After preventing the awakening of Lin Rui’s consciousness by entangling the pale white glow with his faint Azura Psychic Power, the voice of the system bug emanated from the white light dot once again.

It seemed that this action had consumed quite a bit of energy, as the system bug’s voice became weaker. However, despite the weakness in its voice, its underlying joy couldn’t be suppressed.

“I waited for so long, thinking that you would eventually figure out how to free me from the altar by yourself. But it seems you’ve discovered something… Well, it doesn’t matter anymore. Originally, I wanted to play with you after you got me out. Since we’ve reached this point, I’ll take care of the rest myself.” After preventing the awakening of Lin Rui’s consciousness, the system bug seemed to no longer care about anything and continued to mutter some inexplicable words.

From the system bug’s words, it could be inferred that the system bug no longer cared for Lin Rui as it had before.

Moreover, the system bug took advantage of the chaos in Lin Rui’s consciousness and the weakness of his Psychic Power to prevent his awakening, clearly driven by a special purpose.

“In fact, I didn’t expect you to grow this far in such a short time. If it weren’t for your impatience this time, I might have never had this opportunity. So… it seems that everything was prepared for me…” Within Lin Rui’s empty consciousness, the voice of the system bug continued to emanate from the white light dot.

Buzz~

After muttering these inexplicable words to itself, the system bug seemed to have depleted a significant amount of energy, and there was no more sound coming from it.

However, waves of special spiritual energy continued to emanate from the white light dot, rapidly flowing towards Lin Rui’s faint Azura Psychic Power, which was entangled by the previous pale white glow.

When the unique Psychic Power energy belonging to the system bug made contact with Lin Rui’s faint Azura Psychic Power, an intense repulsive reaction occurred between the two sides.

It was no longer a simple entanglement to impede each other’s movements; this time, the system bug intended to completely consume the remaining bit of Lin Rui’s Psychic Power!

Sizzle~

If Lin Rui’s faint Azura Psychic Power was water, then the system bug’s Psychic Power was a red-hot iron block. One side sought to evaporate the other, while the other side desperately tried to extinguish the burning heat.

The moment they made contact, they were incompatible like water and fire. The system bug was eroding Lin Rui’s Psychic Power while depleting its own Psychic Power in the process.

However, because Lin Rui’s Psychic Power had been severely damaged not long ago, his strength was already insufficient, and he was in an unconscious state.

Although he resisted subconsciously, facing the consumption by the system bug, Lin Rui’s situation was extremely unfavorable. If this continued, Lin Rui’s consciousness would eventually be completely extinguished by the system bug.

“That’s it!… I’ve waited for so long… Finally, I can replace him!” While Lin Rui’s Psychic Power was being gradually eroded by the system bug, the voice of the system bug, unable to contain its ecstasy, echoed once again from the white light dot.

It seemed that the system bug had helped Lin Rui before only to wait for this day to personally put an end to his existence.

However, just as the system bug was consuming Lin Rui’s consciousness with its Psychic Power, a fiery red light suddenly flashed in Lin Rui’s empty sea of consciousness.

Then, a hollow pair of flaming eye sockets appeared in the sky above Lin Rui’s consciousness, appearing extremely terrifying. After the flaming eye sockets appeared, they rotated in Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness and finally looked down at the position of the white light dot where the system bug resided.

After the appearance of the flaming eye sockets above, the system bug sensed it, and a fluctuation immediately emanated.

“Hmm? What’s that…” Upon “seeing” the peculiar eye sockets above, the system bug uttered a noticeably astonished voice.

Swish!

Just as the system bug was still surprised by why such a strange pair of eye sockets appeared in Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness, a powerful and unique force shot out from the flaming eye sockets, aiming directly at the white light dot of the system bug below.

Pu!

The system bug, suspended in the center of Lin Rui’s sea of consciousness, was hit by that force without any chance to dodge. Then, the white light dot suddenly trembled violently. At the same time, the system bug let out an incredulous cry of fear.

“Ah!… This is… the Penance Stare!!… Why?! Why would this thing appear in this guy’s sea of consciousness?”

While screaming in terror, the speed of the trembling white light dot, representing the system bug, increased rapidly, almost on the verge of falling apart at any moment.

When the entity of the system bug was being observed by the somewhat eerie energy from the eye sockets above, its consumption of Lin Rui’s Psychic Power naturally came to a halt. After all, even the system bug itself was struggling to survive at this point.

And the Penance Stare that the system bug shouted about was naturally the unique weapon of Ghost Rider. Lin Rui had previously been subjected to the Penance Stare.

However, that gaze did not cause any harm to Lin Rui. After all, although Lin Rui had killed some people, they were all deserving of their fate, and he hadn’t done anything to warrant his soul being burned by the Penance Stare.
