Chapter 664.

A/N: Thanks for resubbing, and welcome new patrons! Let's get right into it!

----------------

The Tribulation Lightning churned and raged because of the appearance of Leandra's enormous avatar, like her very existence was an affront to the Heavens. Before it was just some of the tendrils moving toward the island, whereas thousands of blue bolts fell from the sky now. But how could Leandra not have come unprepared?

She opened one of her hands...

“I can’t believe that guy is this greedy,” Zac sighed. “Your purchases would have bankrupted a normal D-Grade force.”

“There is an endless number of Daos. It’s pretty good that Jeeves only wanted the taste of three hundred,” Kenzie laughed as she stood up. “Let’s go. I’ve been waiting for this for so long now.”

“If you say so,” Zac shrugged as he followed her toward the teleportation arr...

--------------

The Thayer Consortium had gained over two hundred billion Nexus from selling Kenzie’s Array Breakers over the past three years. That wasn’t much compared to established mercantile unions, but it was still a shocking amount considering how small a percentage Calrin charged for Kenzie’s business. Furthermore, the actual sale of Array Breakers was the smaller Kenzie's two income sources by all accounts.

It did end...

A/N: 2/2

-----------

Gaining levels was usually the easiest part for geniuses, with Daos and Achievements causing the biggest delays. However, Zac had long heard about how many people got stuck in the middle of the E-Grade, bottlenecked to never reach the peak. At first, he had trouble understanding why some people would rather dissipate their energy than keep pushing forward, but Zac had been given a rude awakening the moment he hit level 100. 2021-04-29 15:46:20 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 660.

A/N: As mentioned, double release today and tomorrow. In return, no chapters on the 8th and 15th May for patrons. With that, Act 2 of Defiance of the Fall begins just as we approach the 2-year mark :)

Zac took a deep breath as he opened his eyes, and he was greeted by the first rays of the suns piercing through the foliage of the poplar growing in his courtyard. This bout of meditation had lasted over three day...

Chapter 659.

Zac woke up with a start, but he immediately regretted the sudden movement as sharp pangs of pain wracked his body. He had fallen asleep again, his own body’s way to forcibly try to make him rest. His pathways were a mess, and his body was completely wrung dry. He felt so weak, like his body had been ravaged by illness for weeks.

He felt extremely lucky to have opened his third Hidden Node, [Purity of theVoid], just before he was sent out of the Mystic Realm. He had a...

Chapter 658.

A/N: I was supposed to write this note yesterday, but I forgot.

Thursday and Friday will both be double-chapter days. 

Instead, there will be no chapter on the 8th and 15th of May (both Saturdays) for this Tier, so I guess you could call them advance advance chapters. Otherwise, release schedule will be as usual for May.

Fragments of the Memorysteel were twisted and pushed away as...

Chapter 657.

The whole world was fast collapsing judging by the tumultuous Memorysteel Fragments crashing into each other and getting lost to the Void. A glance around also proved there was no one else in the area. It was just himself, his sister, and the unmoving body of Cervantes. Of course, there was also the Dimensional Seed.

Zac didn't need to be a genius to understand that messing with the Dimensional Seed would be extremely dangerous. His body wasn’t in any state to tack on another round of...

Chapter 656.

A/N: Tomorrow's chapter a bit early for my fellow defiers. Next chapter Monday.

-------

Zac looked at the encounter between his sister and the Administrator, grasping at a last hope that she had some way to deal with this mess. He had never felt so weak as he did right now. He hated the feeling of not only being the weaker party, but being so far behind that you had no say in your fate. The Administrator, the Collector, the Great Redeemer. All bei...

Chapter 655.

Zac held no delusions that Cervantes wouldn't try to kill him the moment they had managed to deal with the Dominator, but troubled times called for strange alliances. Zac cracked his neck as he looked at his current state. A wave of exhaustion had already hit him since the boost of [Hatchetman's Rage] had ended, but the weakness was at least somewhat mitigated since he had swapped race.

However, there was no way he'd take out Adcarkas in his current state. He had alread...

Chapter 654.

Adrenaline and fear coursed through Zac’s body as he saw the spatial tear in front of Adcarkas widen. It wasn’t because of the ability itself, but rather what he saw through the rip in space. It was his sister surrounded by multiple monitors. The tear was somehow completely bypassing the golden alloy to allow the Dominator to strike straight at Kenzie.

In fact, the reason that Adcarkas seemed to be struggling so hard to open the tear might actually not be due to the Anointed’s eff...

Chapter 653.

Zac had been completely convinced that it was Void’s Disciple he tackled and pushed down from the Dimensional Seed. Who else would be able to withstand the intense fluctuations except for a Spatial Cultivator? But it turned out he was wrong. The aura of the one he tackled was identical to the one who had attacked him just now, and it wasn’t Adcarkas.

The person standing in front of him with an expression rife with killing intent was still someone he knew though; it was Inevitability...

Chapter 652.

The Dimensional Seed had been the ultimate goal for so many people since its existence was discovered, and now Zac was finally standing right in front of it. Just looking in its general direction made Zac’s mind scatter again, forcing him to turn his head away. The treasure might not be actively dangerous to interact with, but there was still a vast chasm in terms of grades between them.

It was just like with himself; if he completely unleashed his aura next to someone at Level 1, the...

Chapter 651.

“We might have an advantage, but there’s a lot of variables at play. There’s something odd going on with his place,” Kenzie said, and there was hesitation on her face. “There are items meant to deal with spatial anomalies in the labs, and this isolation chamber has somehow followed into this world. It's like we're missing something.”

Zac nodded in agreement. There were some things that they hadn’t figured out yet. Why was an item like the Spatial Drill built inside a Blood...

Chapter 650.

“Ah, what happened to you?!” Billy exclaimed as he looked up at Zac's hulking form. “How are you bigger than Billy?!”

Zac turned toward the Titan, and he saw that the Anointed were looking at him with hesitation as well.

“A few things happened to me in the Dead Zone,” Zac sighed, seeing no recourse but to come clean. “It’s a secret weapon of mine, I hope you can help me keep this hidden.”

“Haha! No problem, Billy has secrets too!” Billy laughed, before ...

Chapter 649.

Zac was almost in a reverie as he led the group through the forest. Each breath brought new insights, each step was a revelation.

However, the tranquility was suddenly broken as Rhubat roared “Attack!”

Everyone reacted instinctively, and Zac conjured his energy forest and hundreds of leaves even though he couldn’t see what Rhubat was talking about. Unfortunately, by the time that the Zhix leader had sensed that something was wrong, it was already too late.

Layers upon ...

Chapter 648.

Zac looked around with shock and confusion, really feeling that he had arrived at paradise. He had an extremely weak perception of the Dao, but even he could feel like there was something special about the world he had appeared in. Looking at the stalks of grass gently swaying in the wind filled his mind with impressions and ideas, and the same held true for the trees in the distance.

It was like everything was filled with meaning. It wasn’t to the point of the mind-bending experience...

Chapter 647.

“This isn’t a game, you know," Zac sighed as he turned to his sister.

“Just look,” Kenzie said as she tapped a button on her tablet.

Zac frowned with confusion, but his eyes widened in shock when a meter-thick Memorysteel wall suddenly sprung up in front of Kenzie, completely shielding her. Even he would have some trouble getting through a wall that thick provided it had a constant source of Base Power.

“It took some time, but I managed to figure out a way to activ...

Chapter 646.

"We're climbing the mountain. It's time to deal with the Dominators for real," Zac said, and two sets of ruthless eyes turned to the massive planet in the sky.

"Finally. This wound of mine has been itching for a while now," Ogras muttered.

Part of Zac just wanted to rush up, guns blazing, but he knew some things had to be dealt with first. So he walked over toward the group of Gemlings who hesitantly stood a few hundred meters away from Port Atwood’s armies.

Their attentio...

Chapter 645.

Hekruv Vira had already arrived, and he stood waiting a few dozen meters behind. However, he came over and looked over the cliffside after getting waved over by Zac.

“What a mess,” the monkeyman muttered as he looked down at the battlefield.

“Can you make the Gemlings back away?” Zac asked.

“Are the insectoid warriors your people?” the monkeyman hesitantly asked. “If so... I think they might attack you as well. The Gemlings of clan Volor don’t like to fight, ...

Chapter 644.

Zac refused to believe that even the universal Bloodline Method worked on his body, so he kept squeezing out more and more mental energy, turning the churning ripples of [Bloodline Resonance] was quickly descending into a chaotic storm. His whole body felt like it was under assault, and blood started leaking down his nose.

The Bloodline Method should normally not be dangerous, but Zac had long exceeded the recommended usage. Following the manual one would create a new r...

Chapter 643.

Zac perused the contents of the tablet he gained from Hekruv Vira while walking north with the army, and he gained far more in an hour than he had from all the missives he'd bought until now. And that was even when just scratching the surface. The Bloodline Codex, as they called the database, was essentially True Sky Faction’s holy scripture, the accumulation of thousands of years of effort.

Being stuck in a Technocrat prison took its toll, and many in the True Sky Faction had turned ...

Chapter 642.

Zac quickly pieced together the puzzle of his Bloodline Talent as he ran behind the Anointed and the demons in their mad dash away from the section with a weakened spatial barrier. The battle just now had given him a crash-course on the effect of [Force of the Void]; it appeared to be some sort of energy reserve hidden in the Void, one that allowed for instantaneous attacks.

It somewhat answered one of the big question marks in his mind. He had absorbed thousands of ton...

Chapter 641.

Zac still hadn’t recovered to his perfect state, but there was no helping it. There was a sense of foreboding in his heart as he saw the thick film slowly bulge inward, and he quickly put his free points into Dexterity before he closed his status screen. Only then did he jump down from the Anointed’s shoulder and ran over to the leaders who all stood gazing toward the sky.

His inadvertent actions before had weakened the spatial barriers in this area, but they were still quite thick ...

Chapter 640.

Zac woke up with a start and was greeted by a throbbing pain all over his body. His skull had become two sizes too small, and it felt like his mouth was full of gravel. He coughed and got up on his feet, realizing he was not in the pod or even the lab any longer. He vaguely remembered the cave and the pod exploding, but everything was still a hazy blur.

“Are you okay? How do you feel?” his sister’s voice reached from some distance, and Zac turned his bleary eyes toward the source....

Chapter 639.

Carl rushed into the cave with glee, not forgetting to flip off that god-damn demoness who had stolen two caves right in front of him over the last hours by using her earth-attuned movement skills to get ahead. It felt like his legs were about to buckle under him up here at the tenth layer, and all his organs hurt like he was getting constantly punched. But the lower layers were just too cramped.

He’d be lucky to get one cave every two to three hours at the seventh layer, and few of t...

Chapter 638.

Zac initially felt reckless for jumping in without thinking things through, but he had pretty much confirmed that the medicinal properties of the liquid were good for him by this point. Seeing as the console was malfunctioning and that the pod was starting up, this might be the last opportunity for him to properly absorb the energy within.

The glaring beeping of the consoles simply disappeared the moment Zac closed the hatch from within. It wasn’t only the console, but it was like he ...

Chapter 637.

There was not much Zac could do to help his people, apart from urging them forward toward parts of the mountain that were hopefully not picked clean. He did consider turning the around more than one time, instead heading in the direction of the Lunar Tribe. There was no way the cultists had picked the lower layers clean in that direction.

But Zac quickly gave up on that idea. Not only were the Lunar Tribe in that direction, but also the Cartava Clan and presumably the second Cultist gro...

Chapter 636.

A/N: Thanks for re-ups people!

-------------

The soldiers were still exhausted after the mad dash over the last hours and subsequent battle, but no one complained when Zac gave the order to set out. Some had already got their hands on a seal through the battle, but it was mostly the Anointed, demons, and Tal-Eladar who were safe by this point thanks to their higher killing efficiency.

Everyone understood the situation; if they didn’t start...

Chapter 635.

Hekruv Vira sighed as he looked out at the remaining droplets of light that lit up the void like fireflies at the end of their flight. Another one had just winked out, no doubt because of the energy finally running out. They had built a hundred arks just in case, but now just three remained.

One could argue that the losses didn’t quite match up to the numbers, considering the remaining arks only survived did thanks to powerhouses infusing them with their power. But it could also be se...
