Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Return
Their battle transcended ordinary combat. Even if an evil spirit appeared there, it would instantly be annihilated, without any room for resistance.
Boom!
The tremors continued, like the roar of thunder. There wasn't any dazzling light, only the eruption of the most terrifying power, forming various destructive upheavals.
"Hah!"
In the brief moments Lin Fan exchanged blows with the Lord of Abominations, he threw thousands of punches. The Lord of Abominations wasn't weak either, perfectly matching the image of a strong opponent in Lin Fan's mind.
"Not bad, I really didn't misjudge you. You're truly strong. If you hadn't shown your true strength earlier, you would have been instantly killed by me the moment I attacked. You would definitely have regretted it then.
"But now, you can listen to my words, which shows you're not stupid, but rather quite intelligent."
Lin Fan never considered whether what he said was problematic.
He, who had walked out of Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital, was actually praising someone else for being intelligent.
Thinking about it carefully, it felt somewhat wrong.
Of course, these issues weren't the most important. The battle was the most crucial thing.
The Lord of Abominations' face was full of disbelief.
"Impossible!"
"Impossible!"
He truly couldn't believe it. What he wanted wasn't a draw with Lin Fan. After merging with the power of abomination, he should have been able to crush Lin Fan like an ant, completely obliterating him.
Instead, he was now on par with a human. To him, this was a humiliation.
I absorbed all the power of abomination, yet now we're fighting back and forth.
To him, this was utter shame.
Lin Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Your expression seems a bit incredulous. Did something come to mind? If you have any questions, you can speak up. Battle requires complete focus."
Martial will allowed Lin Fan to achieve a state of complete concentration during battle, absolutely unaffected by any external interference.
At this moment, Lin Fan's mind was at peace.
His blood boiled within him.
His desire for battle surged.
The Lord of Abominations was very strong, and the battle gave him a deep sense of pleasure.
He had never experienced this feeling before.
Even the previous Sea God hadn't given him this.
Hmm... That guy was quite weak.
The Lord of Abominations spread his arms and roared angrily, dark power constantly condensing in front of him.
"Human, prepare to witness the most terrifying scene!"
In the blink of an eye, the dark energy sphere condensed in front of the Lord of Abominations had expanded to resemble a dark sun, emitting a dark light.
Then, the Lord of Abominations pushed with both arms.
The dark sun descended from the sky, crushing down.
"So strong."
Lin Fan watched intently, sensing the terrifying power contained within the sphere. He took a deep breath, preparing for battle.
He directly threw a punch.
Boom!
A violent explosion resounded through the heavens and earth.
The exploding light obscured the sky and the sun, incredibly dazzling.
Lin Fan pressed his advantage, instantly appearing in front of the Lord of Abominations. He raised his leg and fiercely kicked. Facing such a fierce attack, the Lord of Abominations didn't panic at all, instantly grappling with Lin Fan.
Every punch, every kick that collided caused a violent roar.
The people watching the live broadcast fell silent.
Their nerves were tense, as if waiting for a certain outcome. No one knew what the ending would be, but Lin Fan had already given them hope. As long as hope could arrive, waiting was just a process.
The battle had now entered a fever pitch.
Apart from the Lord of Abominations, who understood how powerful his opponent was, no one else could comprehend it.
"Damn it!"
The Lord of Abominations gradually found himself unable to withstand the attacks. His current power was at its peak, but who was this opponent? Clearly just a human, why had he become so powerful?
Boom!
Just as he was enraged, Lin Fan's heavy fist landed, directly deforming the Lord of Abominations' face.
"Yes! Hit him hard!"
Baldy shouted.
Their fighting speed just now was too fast to see clearly what was happening.
But seeing the Lord of Abominations being punched to the ground, he cheered excitedly.
There was still hope for humanity.
"Your strength is great, but as the battle continues, your weakness has emerged. Unable to sustain prolonged combat, you are definitely not my match.
"This battle determines life and death, as well as victory or defeat. I will not hold back."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice, then leaped high, flames igniting on his fists, fiercely striking down towards the Lord of Abominations.
A long time...
A long time...
After a muffled boom, the world returned to peace.
The dark clouds covering the sky gradually dissipated.
A ray of sunlight shone down.
Lin Fan stood there, basking in the warm sunlight.
Baldy held his phone, aiming the camera at Lin Fan.
The people watching the live broadcast held their breath, feeling suppressed.
"What's the outcome?"
At this moment, Lin Fan raised his arm. In the eyes of the entire nation, he clenched his fist and shouted in a voice that wasn't loud, but could be heard by everyone:
"We won!"
Just two words, but the impact was beyond measure.
After he spoke these two words, boisterous cheers erupted from all the cities.
Some people embraced each other and wept.
Some people grabbed their heads with both hands, randomly smashing furniture in their homes.
There was no anger, only immense excitement.
The BOSS breathed a heavy sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his face with a tissue, then clapped his hands on the table, laughing heartily, completely disregarding whether there were people around him. He truly needed to vent at this moment.
At the scene:
"Why do I feel empty after the battle ends?"
Lin Fan looked up at the sky. The pleasurable feeling of battle had instantly vanished.
Perhaps this is how men are.
The foreplay is always exhilarating, but often, after a brief tremor, everything becomes bland and tasteless.
It seems that's really the case.
"Is the dream about to end?"
He thought of the mission when he first arrived. It should be like this.
Mission: Unbroken bloodline, humanity's survival, until the awakening of the Heavenly Will.
The death of the Lord of Abominations meant the complete eradication of abominations.
The world was safe.
With this battle, Lin Fan was completely deified. Becoming a god through a single battle is often just a formality, but his situation wasn't a formality. It was a deification battle that saved all of humanity.
"Sigh! I haven't woken up yet. I want to go home."
He wanted to see Old Zhang and Little Bao.
No... He wanted to see his wife.
This should be what any man would want.
At this time, he stood there motionless. Baldy ran over worriedly.
"Captain, are you alright?"
His eyes were full of concern for Lin Fan.
"I'm fine."
Lin Fan shook his head, looking at the distant horizon, reminiscing about the battle just now. It was very satisfying, a feeling difficult to describe with words, just exceptionally comfortable.
"Let's go back."
The battle ended just like that.
The disaster of abominations concluded here.
For Lin Fan, this was an inevitable event. The abominations would definitely be eliminated, but he hadn't expected it to be so fast, so fast that he hadn't even reacted yet.
The next day, the internet exploded.
Everyone was praising Lin Fan's glorious deeds. As the savior of humanity, he would be forever remembered.
But Lin Fan acted as if nothing had happened, drinking, watching movies, casually chatting with the people around him.
He didn't feel like he had done anything remarkable.
The battle ended just like that, without a ripple.
The situation abroad was regrettable, a complete annihilation. The harm of abominations was the most terrifying disaster.
They didn't have a bug-like existence like Lin Fan.
Facing the abominations, they were like powerless ants, slaughtered at will.
In the conference room, the BOSS gratefully shook Lin Fan's hand.
"Thank you for saving us."
Lin Fan smiled. "You're welcome."
The BOSS said, "From now on, there will be no more abominations. You are humanity's greatest hero. Do you have any requests? As long as you say it, we will fulfill it."
Privilege is implicitly disliked. No one likes others having privileges.
But for Lin Fan's contributions to humanity, no one would object, nor would anyone think it was wrong.
"I don't have any requests. Things are fine as they are now."
Lin Fan didn't need anything.
The BOSS became anxious. If it were any other matter, he wouldn't give such a guarantee, but Lin Fan's contribution was truly too great. To use the words on the internet, if it weren't for him protecting them, they definitely wouldn't exist anymore.
So even if his requests were excessive, to them, it wouldn't be considered excessive.
"Don't rush to refuse. Think carefully. For example, is there anything you want?"
He didn't believe Lin Fan didn't need anything.
At least mention a request.
Let them fulfill it, so they could feel a little more comfortable.
Lin Fan smiled. "There's nothing I want. I'm happy with how things are now."
Just as the BOSS kept wanting to do something for Lin Fan, netizens were also anticipating it. As the nation's guardian deity, he should be showered with honors, entering deification mode.
But after waiting for a long time, they found there wasn't any news, not even a scrap of information revealed. This made the netizens very puzzled. What was going on? Or were they brewing a big move?
When it was released, it would scare everyone.
For the citizens, they were already prepared for anything. No matter what kind of big move it was, they could accept it. Even if there were trolls who dared to spout nonsense, they would be sprayed until nothing remained.
Lin Fan was a god-like existence in their hearts.
They continued to wait.
Several days later, the citizens increasingly felt that something was wrong.
What the heck! It just ended like that? Our guardian deity doesn't get anything, not even a deification ceremony?
Dissatisfied with their idol's treatment, a large number of netizens started inquiring on the official website, instantly causing network congestion. The traffic was too high, and the website couldn't handle it.
The BOSS was innocent. Facing the citizens' inquiries, he didn't know how to respond.
My dear ancestors, I really want to hold Lin Fan in my palms and cherish him, fulfilling any of his requests. Even if he said he had his eye on a certain virtuous woman, I could swallow my pride and go to that lady and say, "Give me face, let our Lin Fan have some fun."
But unfortunately, Lin Fan didn't have any requests.
It was as if he was devoid of desires.
Not long after, the BOSS felt that this wouldn't do. He had to respond.
We are aware of the recent protests from citizens. It's not that we don't want to give him anything, but he doesn't want anything. Even if he asked me to spend a night with him, I could put aside my old face, wash myself clean, and get into his bed. It's really true, there wouldn't be any denial afterward.
Message: BOSS.
There was no other way, he had to personally address the situation.
After he issued this announcement, the citizens were stunned.
Is this still the Operations Department BOSS we know?
The netizens instantly burst into laughter.
After living in a suppressed world for so long, the sudden liberation was a feeling truly difficult to express in words.
With the BOSS's explanation, the netizens believed this statement, and at the same time, their admiration for Lin Fan's character deepened.
Unimaginable contributions, yet requiring nothing in return. Who could achieve this?
Later, the BOSS felt that no matter what, he had to do something for Lin Fan. So he directly proposed building a statue of Lin Fan in the capital city, along with a personal museum.
It would collect everything related to Lin Fan's dealings with the abominations during this period.
This was the only thing he could do to express his gratitude for Lin Fan's hard work for humanity.
When this matter was announced, it received widespread approval.
Everyone agreed with the BOSS's idea.
Lin Fan didn't have many thoughts about these matters. For him, he felt his current life was pretty good, just a little homesick.
He didn't know when this dream would end.
Thirty years later, Lin Fan stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, sensing something amiss.
A strange power was awakening.
"Is it time to go?"
Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Will would awaken at this time, and at the moment of its awakening, the abominations would completely disappear from the world, never again able to harm humanity.
But the Heavenly Will was awakening too slowly.
And it wasn't within the timeline.
Even if it awakened, it wouldn't be of much use.
After all, who could have imagined that their Lin Fan was so capable of fighting that the abominations weren't enough for him to handle?
At this moment, a voice echoed in his mind.
Mission: Complete.
Note: The Heavenly Will's evaluation of your performance... Hmm, truly excellent. There's nothing left for me to do. You're amazing!!!
Reward: Guardian's Heart.
Next arrival: July 1st.
Return!
Instantly, Lin Fan's consciousness drifted away. The Lin Fan whose body he had occupied for over thirty years looked around with confused eyes.
Who am I? Where am I? What is this place? Why is it so unfamiliar?
Lin Fan raised his hand, finding his skin a bit rough. He touched his face, it felt familiar, but not quite smooth enough.
He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
When he discovered that his life had been wasted for thirty-one years, perhaps he would let out a mournful cry.
Back in the dormitory, Lin Fan opened his eyes. The clock hanging on the wall showed only a minute had passed. It was another long dream, but in any case, it was quite good.
A smile played on his lips.
He grabbed the blanket with both hands, covering himself comfortably, then drifted off to sleep.
The Evil Chicken watched Lin Fan.
Just a moment ago, it had sensed a slight change in Lin Fan's aura. It was just a momentary change, but it still caught it.
