Within a 300-meter radius, Hanhan could detonate sophisticated electronic control components, and even drive a living person insane!

Li Tianran held Hanhan and skillfully used his gravity control ability to nimbly move through the battlefield.

He approached a war chariot, and its electronic system malfunctioned.

He approached a tank, and the tank's combat computer went haywire.

Under Hanhan’s powerful brainwave control, several tanks and war chariots quickly became useless lumps of scrap metal. A tank-class combat berserker descended, raised its mechanical arm, and brought down a massive alloy blade, over three meters long, like a god-splitting axe. With a deafening "ka-la" sound, a B82 Mongoose tank was sliced in half, the steel fortress cleaved in two!

It was an utterly shocking scene.

Tanks represented the pinnacle of heavy firepower, clad in high-strength steel. To destroy one, you needed large armor-piercing or incendiary rounds!

Yet it had been shattered by a cold weapon. In the nearly one hundred years since the tank's inception, nothing like this had ever occurred!

However, on a battlefield engulfed in artillery fire, this potentially historic moment went largely unseen.

The rebel force numbered around three battalions, approximately eight hundred men. In the first ten minutes of the battle, they had suffered a terrifying ten percent casualty rate. More importantly, their heavy firepower had been decimated. Apart from two mechanically controlled machine guns, all their electronically equipped heavy weaponry was paralyzed.

Enemies screamed as they leaped from burning, shell-shattered war chariots, writhing on the ground in flames.

Enemies returned fire, only to have their heads instantly vaporized by adult combat berserkers.

It was the most brutal of battlefields, humans slaughtering each other. Watching enemy after enemy fall, the last vestiges of compassion faded from Li Tianran's heart.

"This is war…" Li Tianran narrowed his eyes, surveying the artillery-blasted landscape. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot, weapons raised, intent on killing him, only to fall like wheat before the adult combat berserkers' guns.

Li Tianran took a deep breath.

In this apocalyptic world, humanity should abandon internal strife and unite. But for various reasons, humans fought among themselves, wasting their strength.

Li Tianran had no right to judge, nor did he want to. He was part of it himself.

Unable to change the world for now, he could only integrate and adapt.

Half an hour later, the battlefield fell silent. At the cost of twenty-nine completely destroyed adult combat berserkers and two heavily damaged tank-class combat berserkers, the ambushing rebel force had been annihilated.

Li Tianran stood on the blood-soaked, shell-scorched earth.

He wiped a splatter of blood from his cheek with his thumb, his heart devoid of pity as he gazed at the carnage.

He had only one thought.

"The enemies in the dream have been eliminated, so the prophecy…should change, right?" Li Tianran murmured to himself.

Hanhan nestled in his arms, her face pale. She had expended a massive amount of mental energy in the battle, and both her physical and mental strength were overdrawn.

She shook her head weakly, looking exhausted. "I don't know… it should…change, right!"

…

High above, inside the helicopter carrying a dozen Khanate generals, the atmosphere was becoming lively.

Everyone had seen the carnage on the battlefield below. While they didn't know who had wiped out the rebel force, they were all certain that their biggest threat had been eliminated, and the rest of their journey would be safe.

"We're twenty kilometers from the Yanhuang Federation border. Ten minutes, at most, and we'll be inside!" The Yanhuang Major General smiled, looking at the foreign generals. "A close call, eh?"

"I thought this assassination squad was supposed to be so formidable. They were wiped out before we even saw them!"

"Those rebels were laughable!"

"They probably didn't even know who the target was, so they just fought each other and got wiped out! Haha!"

The Khanate generals relaxed and began discussing the battle. "Rebels with that kind of strength dare to threaten us, to say we won't set foot in the Yanhuang Federation! What a joke!"

"Now that bunch of rebels are ghosts, this event will probably be on the international forums, right?"

"More like an international joke…"

The generals loudly mocked the rebels. Everyone laughed, filling the air with a carefree atmosphere.

But as the laughter died down, one laugh continued, even growing louder and more grating.

The others turned toward the sound.

A Khanate Major General sat in the corner of the helicopter, an undisguised grin on his face. But it wasn't a satisfied, relieved smile. It was a cold, mocking sneer!

He laughed so hard he was doubled over, the sound increasingly jarring in the quiet cabin.

Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore and snapped, "Feiyatu, enough! Stop that duck-like cackle! It's uncouth! What are you laughing at?"

Feiyatu finally stopped laughing, turned to the others, and said softly, "I'm laughing at you…"

"…" The others frowned.

Feiyatu unbuckled his seatbelt, stood up, and said to the Khanate generals, one word at a time, "Your smug, carefree attitude, thinking you've escaped danger, is truly laughable."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing your expressions when you find out the truth."

The others gradually realized something was wrong, but they remained calm. "What do you mean?"

The Yanhuang Major General quietly reached behind his back, silently drawing his sidearm.

"What I mean is…" Feiyatu said expressionlessly, "You are all going to die."

Silence.

The cabin was as silent as a tomb.

After a long pause, a general asked in a low voice, "What kind of joke is that?"

Feiyatu turned to the general, reached up, and gently wiped his face. His face seemed to melt like clay, quickly transforming into another face!

"Sorry, I'm not Major General Feiyatu of the government army. I'm Private Karen from Commander Puli's forces! God have mercy, I became an evolver a month ago and gained this special ability… disguise. Not bad, huh!" "Major General Feiyatu" smiled brightly and said, "The real Feiyatu was killed a month ago."

The others were stunned.

"Actually, I had plenty of chances to kill you all, but Commander Puli ordered me to kill you just before you crossed the Yanhuang border…to let you experience the feeling of falling from heaven to hell, and to warn the Yanhuang Federation!" Karen said, one word at a time. "You thought those soldiers on the battlefield were the assassins?"

"No, from beginning to end, I was the only assassin targeting you."

"I alone am enough."

Karen took a step forward as he spoke.

Bang!

The Yanhuang Major General fired, but Karen tilted his head, and the bullet grazed his scalp.

Pfft!

Karen directly blew a Khanate general's head apart, splattering red and white matter around the cabin. Only then did the others realize that the real danger had never left them. The terrifying assassin had been hiding among them all along!

If it hadn't been for the desire to make their deaths more dramatic and intimidating, they probably would have all been killed when they boarded the helicopter in the capital!

"Karen! Are you crazy? Puli has already failed! Are you still going to die for him? You can't live if you kill us!" A Khanate general roared.

Facing an evolver at close range, they had no chance of resisting!

"Not everyone is like you politicians, weighing everything in terms of profit and loss. I have faith! Even if Commander Puli fails, I will carry out his will!" Karen revealed his ferocious nature and strode toward the others.

…

Over the Yanhuang border, the helicopters circled.

Suddenly, the unexpected happened.

The helicopter carrying the Khanate generals suddenly opened fire on its escort helicopters, unleashing small machine cannons and streams of machine gun bullets!

The helicopters were close together and completely unprepared for an attack from their own side. In the sudden chaos, six helicopters were hit by the machine cannons and machine gun fire. Three exploded in mid-air, creating a terrifying blaze!

The other three helicopters had their wings shattered and suffered serious damage.

Yuan Wen had been sitting in the cabin, watching the GPS watch as it crossed the border. She had finally relaxed, but at that moment, the wing of her helicopter was suddenly shattered. Amidst the chaos and the panicked shouts of her comrades, the helicopter plummeted straight down from hundreds of meters!

Boom!

Flames erupted from the crashed helicopter, instantly engulfing everything.

Li Tianran had thought that by eliminating the ambushing force, he could change the prophecy of Yuan Wen's attack in his dream.

But the truth brutally told him that when one thread of prophecy was forcibly altered, another thread would emerge to correct it, bringing the outcome back on course.

The outcome of the prophecy…could not be changed.
