Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 309 - 286: Sorry, I Disagree (Two in One)

"You're right, she indeed has the power to destroy the portal."

On the other end of the phone, there was a peculiar tone in Feng Yin's voice, "She destroyed an A-grade portal in just three minutes; her strength is quite astonishing."

"Is she that little girl from your guild named Evelyn?"

"I'm just guessing," Qin Chuan said with a laugh, "but it's pretty clear now that I guessed right."

"It seems the crisis here in White Bear Country has been resolved too." Feng Yin paused slightly, "Based on the previous estimates, the first three rounds of secret realms should have been smoothly resolved, despite some minor hiccups, it was within expectations."

"However, the upcoming fourth and final fifth round…" Feng Yin's voice carried a touch of gravity.

Hearing Feng Yin's words, Qin Chuan's expression also grew grave.

There are six B-grade instances set to descend in the fourth round, and four in the fifth.

At first glance, the later two rounds had fewer arriving instances than the third, so they should be easier to handle.

But that wasn't actually the case.

Because the instances of the first three rounds had nearly exhausted the available Transcendents on Blue Star who had the strength to intervene.

For the incoming last two rounds, manpower was no longer sufficient to support multiple powerful beings stationed around the world, ready to handle nearby instances as they emerged.

They could only wait for the victors of the previous three rounds who destroyed the already-arrived portals to free up to deal with subsequent ones.

And this would inevitably create a longer time disparity, allowing the instances to exist unguarded for extended periods.

Hence, the ten B-grade instances that were subsequent likely would see a large number of beings come out, bringing misfortune.

"How is Dyarla Suspended Valley now?" asked Qin Chuan.

Dyarla Suspended Valley, the A-grade instance that had already descended, had now transformed into an S-grade portal.

And it was Qin Chuan's target.

"For now, no life has emerged from the portal, but none of the Transcendents we sent for a tentative reconnaissance has come back," Feng Yin spoke in a somber tone, "The Transcendent teams led by two Hall-level players are in place, but relying on them alone isn't enough."

Qin Chuan's expression turned slightly grim.

The so-called tentative reconnaissance meant entering the portal but not going deep, just performing simple observations and leaving within a minute.

It was theoretically a method of exploration that wasn't too dangerous.

Unless… the other side of the portal was already controlled by beings from another world.

The discovery of the portal without immediate emergence indicated what?

It indicated that these otherworldly beings were waiting.

Waiting for a powerful enough being to lead their conquest more effectively.

Creatures of Heavenly Dome Rank had clearly encountered this type of situation with portals before; similar conditions often emerged in previous portal descents.

For Blue Star, this was both good and bad.

The good was that the powerful on Blue Star had enough time to arrive without the otherworldly beings massively departing the portal and hiding all over Blue Star.

The bad was that the adversaries they would face were bound to be more powerful, likely jumping a whole rank beyond their original.

This point had once been revealed by the Tidal Demon Lord, Dalaisai—a being who had emerged from a portal.

Otherworldly beings of the Heavenly Dome Rank had a special ability to precisely control their power, allowing high-rank beings to drop to the peak combat ability of a lower rank, to cross the portal's boundary swiftly and recover their original rank.

The instance that allowed Dalaisai's descent was originally B-grade, but after descending, it was upgraded to an A-grade portal, with entry restrictions of Epic Rank.

Dalaisai, as a being of Legend Rank, forcefully suppressed his power to the limit of Epic Rank, smoothly emerged from the A-grade portal, and unleashed bloody havoc on Blue Star.

Although he was eventually defeated, many understandings of instances by humanity were sourced from him; even the term "Heavenly Dome Rank" was first heard from him.

Now, a similar situation with an S-grade portal indicated that those emerging wouldn't simply be of Legend Rank.

They would surely have reached the peak of Legend Rank and, after arriving, would not need much effort to break through to Mythical Rank.

"Speed it up further," Qin Chuan said gravely.

He reasoned he could handle the peak of Legend Rank.

But if the adversary reached Mythical Rank…

The leap in strength from Legend to Mythical Rank was too great; he could only contend with it by using Time Stop within the instance portal.

The pilot of the fighter jet nodded silently and pushed the aircraft's power to the maximum. With the whole aircraft trembling slightly, the already maximum speed of the fighter jet climbed even further.

This was already risking the disintegration of the aircraft by forcing acceleration.

Countless people fixed their eyes on the massive spatial entrance ahead; it was pitch black on the other side, nothing visible, nothing detectable.

The portal, like a monster choosing its prey, caused immense trepidation.

Not far from the portal over the sea surface, a fleet of navy ships stood lined up, with two teams led by Hall-level players along with numerous Elite-level players, all on standby aboard the ships.

Not just them, nearby were powerful Transcendents almost all gathered, with many more on their way.

Numerous surrounding countries near the Black Sea had already targeted their missiles here.
