What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

Chapter 305 Change of Mind

His words were transmitted to everyone present through his mental power, and he even deliberately used his supernatural abilities to coordinate the attack, creating the impression that the surging water could engulf everyone at any moment.

Before the surging waters arrived, arc-shaped cracks appeared around the base, drawing in the surging water-based supernatural energy.

Beyond those spatial rifts, scorching magma rushed towards them, water colliding with the magma, and huge plumes of steam rising into the air.

Morse emerged from the spatial rift, twisting his neck and speaking sarcastically to Amos, "Such powerful abilities, I'm so scared."

"court death!"

Amos activated his superpower and aimed directly at Morse's head. Morse stood still, his smile gradually fading. He had never been afraid of anything in his life.

A shield formed by magma enveloped Morse, allowing him to withstand Amos's attack head-on. Amos was clearly three classes higher than Morse, but Morse didn't kill him instantly.

Morse has never been a coward in his life. Rather than live a cowardly life, he would rather die arrogantly. Morse felt his superpowers surging out and his skin blood vessels bursting.

The steam-formed blades continued to cut into flesh, but Morse's smile grew increasingly arrogant. He looked at Amos, who was furious at not being able to crush him instantly, and sneered, "You scum, listen up, you'd better kill me now, or else..."

"It can not only kill that bug named Dylan, but also kill you, this so-called eighth-order waste."

Morse had an incredible talent for provoking people, and Amos was enraged by his provocative words. "Kill me? Even if you had a hundred years, you'd still be groveling at my feet!"

Amos's deadly attack on Morse suddenly stopped. In the moment of his surprise, Morse took out a supernatural weapon he had prepared beforehand and attacked Amos, who was momentarily stunned.

The combined attack of fifth- and sixth-tier supernatural abilities unleashed a powerful explosion at extremely close range, causing Morse to create distance between himself and Amos as the airflow generated by the attack pushed him further away.

Amos was unable to dodge in time and could only cross his arms to block in front of him, and was knocked back several steps.

Amidst the shock, his gaze fell upon the spot where he and Morse had just been. Now that the steam had dissipated, Lu Yize slightly raised his chin, looking up at his disheveled appearance with a mocking expression.

His entire being, from head to toe, conveyed a message through his eyes: Eighth Rank? That's all? Looks like nothing special.

Amos is incredibly strong, having climbed to his current position step by step through sheer strength over the years. He was shocked by Lu Yize, a low-level creature and a mere sixth-level ability user, whose mental power was so much stronger than his!

Even if his mental strength level is high, he shouldn't be in a state of constant suppression. But no matter how much he doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit the fact that Lu Yize's mental strength is indeed far superior to his.

Otherwise, the mental disturbance he felt when he tried to kill Morse wouldn't have stopped him.

Shock and astonishment all turned into the shame of defeat. He had actually been blocked by a mere sixth-level ability user. It was utterly ridiculous!

But Morse was a troublemaker, and he shouted a mocking laugh at Amos, "You so-called advanced species, it seems you're nothing special!"

Morse's laughter was one thing, but the sea beasts around him, whose brains hadn't fully developed yet, were also infected by his laughter and joined in with jeers. Some of them hadn't even mastered language yet, especially a fourth-level dolphin, who laughed at a high pitch and with great skill.

Since Amos entered the eighth rank, he has always been fawned over wherever he goes. When has he ever suffered such a great humiliation?

Amos's subordinates sensed the low, surging power emanating from him. They heard him grit his teeth and roughly try to crush the dolphin that was laughing the loudest, but Lu Yize stopped him first.

Although Lu Yize's special abilities were not as good as those of this eighth-tier alien, his mental strength was comparable to that of the insect named Hilde. However, after absorbing the amethyst, Lu Yize was certain that their mental strength was not as high as his.

Once again, the attack was thwarted. Amos's face darkened with rage, wishing he could tear Lu Yize apart on the spot. He ordered his subordinates in a fit of extreme anger, "Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

Although Amos's subordinates were not as good as the junior who was killed by Hilde, they were mostly fifth or sixth-tier ability users. Killing these groups of fourth or fifth-tier ability users should not be difficult.

As for Lu Yize, he wanted to deal with him personally, not only because he had embarrassed him, but also because he sensed that Lu Yize's mental strength had actually increased!

Yes, it has increased. Previously, this person's mental strength was comparable to Hilde's, but now, this person's mental strength is significantly higher than before. Aside from the possibility of him faking it or hiding his true abilities, that means... he most likely has a way to improve his mental strength!

However, Amos quickly realized something. He looked at Lu Yize and asked uncertainly, "Where did that high-level mental zombie who was supposed to be following you go? Could it be that your mental strength has improved because you absorbed her crystal core?"

If that's really the case, then everything makes sense. Amos stared intently at Lu Yize's face, trying to discern his expression.

Unfortunately, Lu Yize acted arrogantly towards everyone, looking down on everyone equally. When he heard Amos's words, he only thought the alien was stupid in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Amos, however, interpreted his silence as tacit agreement, a guilty conscience stemming from devouring his companion's crystal core. After understanding the reason for his increased mental strength, Amos was both angry and resentful.

"I thought you had some skill, but it turns out you just devoured a crystal core. What a waste, you squandered a high-level mental crystal core. If only I had it, if only I had it..."

Amos's face even contorted as he spoke, and when he looked at Lu Yize again, it was as if he were looking at a dead man. Since he had no use for Lu Yize, he would kill him after digging out Dylan's soul.

Even if they fail to bring out Dylan's soul, they can still blame Lu Yize. Yes, that's it. It will also make Hilde suffer. It's a win-win situation.

Amos approached Lu Yize with a sinister smile. The swirling water gathered at his feet, rising continuously and gradually forming a snake coiled around him, coldly poised to strike Lu Yize.

Lu Yize didn't react much to this, but watched with interest as the snakes on Amos's body, formed by the convergence of supernatural powers, swam around.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yize suddenly gave a cryptic smile. "I've changed my mind."
