Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen had seen Di Esi use this move before, but only in a video.

At that time, he hadn't thought the move was very powerful, but facing it himself now, a heaviness settled in his heart.

To others, it appeared to be just a speck of dust, but in Lin Shen's eyes, that speck seemed like a snowball rolling downhill, growing larger and larger.

It wasn't that the Dust Life Base was getting bigger, but rather that the speck of dust seemed to be sweeping up the energy in the space around it, like a snowball, accumulating all the energy onto itself.

Lin Shen even felt that the World's Force his Super Base Pattern absorbed had suddenly decreased significantly.

With Di Esi's Dust Life Base released, the force from the world that had been rushing toward him like a tide had now turned into a trickle, greatly diminished.

Lin Shen suddenly understood why everyone was saying that Di Esi had grown stronger; the strength of others was limited to themselves.

But Di Esi's strength was not just about his own power anymore. His casual strike could now draw on the universe's power to aid him—it was practically cheating.

However powerful one might be, it's hard to exceed one's own level, but this move of his could really unleash the energy in space, snowballing beyond the shackles of his own level.

The energy of Evil Speech Planet was inherently overwhelming, which provided an infinite boost to Di Esi's strike. What was Lin Shen's home ground now seemed as though it had been tailored for Di Esi.

Lin Shen knew he couldn't just wait to die; if the snowball grew bigger and the dust reached him, he feared that even a Nirvana Being might not be able to withstand it.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Shen could choose to dodge this attack, but he had already declared he would take this hit for his fourth brother. If he dodged now, he would be slapping not only his own face but his brother's as well.

"I can only try," thought Lin Shen, as he lifted his right hand in the shape of a gun, aiming once more at Di Esi and releasing his Finger Sand.

This Finger Sand didn't have the effect of Gun Fighting Skill, nor did it carry the power of the Sacrificial Halo.

As Finger Sand shot from his fingertips, it was somewhat different from usual. Normally invisible and formless, this time it sparkled with dazzling brilliance, like a streak of shooting light, it collided head-on with the Dust Life Base.

Kristin was watching this battle and upon seeing Lin Shen's fingertip force, he widened his eyes in shock.

Others might not notice the difference between Lin Shen's strike and the one used against him, but Kristin saw it as clear as day.

Because Lin Shen's strike was imbued with the effects of his Separation Method, a fact that made Kristin's face turn green with envy.

It was as if the beautiful girl he'd struggled so hard to win over had suddenly been found in the embrace of another man.

"Impossible... How does he know the Separation Method..." Kristin found it hard to accept. The Separation Method was his own creation, and he had dared to publish its concept on the Sky Network because he was absolutely confident that no one besides him could master it.

You couldn't succeed in the Separation Method just by being strong or working hard enough.

The Separation Method required talent, and by talent, it meant a combination of the natural abilities Kristin possessed and his Base Talent.

Without his natural abilities, without his Base Talent, no matter how strong others were, they couldn't use the Separation Method.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This was like needing iron ore to forge steel; you need the metal first, as trying to forge steel from a stick of wood will only lead to ashes, never steel.

So Kristin couldn't believe that Lin Shen was actually capable of using the Separation Method.

In fact, the Separation Method used by Lin Shen was a bit different from Kristin's. Just as Kristin thought, Lin Shen indeed didn't possess Kristin's Base Change Talent or Base Talent, which was why he couldn't successfully execute the Separation Method before.

It was only during the recent battle with Kristin, when Kristin used the Separation Method, that Lin Shen personally experienced it and felt that only Kristin could use such a method.

However, after witnessing the Dust Settling of Di Esi, he suddenly got an inspiration.

The essence of the Separation Method was to separate two combined particles. By peeling off one of the particles, one could disrupt the opponent's power system and cause its immediate collapse.

Without Kristin's talents, it was difficult for Lin Shen to cause the particles to separate.

Yet the snowball-like Dust Settling of Di Esi made Lin Shen realize that while he might not be able to separate someone else's power particles, there might be a chance for him to break through Di Esi's technique using the theory of the Separation Method.

The Dust Settling absorbed energy from the space, making the World's Force absorbed by the Super Base Pattern very scarce.

This meant that the Super Base Pattern actually had the capability to absorb the energy swept up by the Dust Settling, which met the basic requirements of the Separation Method.

The energy snowball rolled up by the dust was looser than the combination of strength particles and attribute particles, making it easier to separate.

So Lin Shen had a stroke of insight to attach the Super Base Pattern onto the Finger Sand to achieve the effect of the Separation Method.

The Super Base Pattern couldn't be used on others, only on himself, so Lin Shen could only try to see if he could attach the Super Base Pattern to the Finger Sand. If it didn't work, he would have to break Di Esi's strike with the Sacrificial Halo.

Luckily, it was successful on the first try.

The Super Base Pattern was added to the highly concentrated Finger Sand, and with Lin Shen's prior research on the Separation Method, it made the Finger Sand carry an effect similar to the Separation Method.

But this effect was different from Kristin's Separation Method; it couldn't separate those tightly bound power particles and couldn't suppress the Power of Nirvana like Kristin could. It could only be considered a False Separation Method.

But it was already sufficient to deal with the snowball-like loose Dust Settling.

When the Finger Sand came into contact with the terrifying energy rolled up by the Dust Life Base, it was like a red-hot iron rod plunged into snow, melting all the snow it touched.

No matter how strong the energy snowball rolled up by the dust was, it couldn't hold against the Finger Sand, which pierced through the energy snowball around it and struck the Dust Life Base at the center.

Those who understood Di Esi and saw Lin Shen actually facing the Dust Settling head-on, rather than maneuvering like he did against Kristin, all thought Lin Shen was bound to suffer greatly this time.

As long as Di Esi was given enough space and time, even Nirvana Beings wouldn't dare to meet this move head-on. How could Lin Shen, merely an Ascender, possibly withstand it?

However, the moment the Finger Sand collided with the dust, the energy snowball of dust suddenly disintegrated, and the Dust Life Base was smashed and flew back.

Even Lin Shen himself hadn't anticipated that this False Separation Method would have such an effect.

It wasn't just because the False Separation Method could dismantle the opponent's power system, but with the enhancement from the Super Base Pattern, the Finger Sand was able to absorb the World's Force that was separated, just like the Dust Settling, empowering the Finger Sand.

It could be said that this False Separation Method Finger Sand possessed both the properties of the Separation Method and Dust Settling.
