I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 645: No Way to Self-Destruct
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
The 'King of Elements', the undisputed strongest on Elemental Star, a title thoroughly earned.
Apart from Lin Yi, every other expert from Blue Star would surely be annihilated in its presence.
Confronting Chaos presents a challenge as formidable as an Elemental Star creature facing Lin Yi.
Yet, at this very juncture, Chaos appears to be in a peculiar state.
The form concealed beneath its black robe swelled uncontrollably, akin to an overinflated balloon.
From a humanoid shape one moment, it rapidly expanded to an alarming degree.
By drawing all the scattered elemental energy from Elemental Star into itself, irrespective of the elemental balance, Chaos, despite being the master of elements, had completely lost command over these forces.
Its distended body teetered on the brink of explosion.
Judging by the energy signatures emanating from it, its power rivaled that of a world-ending supernuclear bomb.
Witnessing this spectacle, Set, the mightiest ape, could no longer restrain himself and erupted in a furious curse.
"Damn you, Chaos! What is this madness? Are you intending to drag the elites of Ancient Ape Star down with this Blue Star fellow into the abyss?"
His crimson pupils dilated instantly, his sharp gaze like searing flames, with dark, blood-like threads snaking across his eyeballs like a menacing spiderweb.
Following a volley of enraged shouts, the veins on Set's forehead engorged, resembling tiny serpents writhing violently beneath his skin, a vivid portrayal of his current fury.
Set's outburst was far from an exaggeration.
As a planetary overlord, his strategies and methods extended far beyond what could be conceived in darkness.
The decision to support Elemental Star was a move born of sheer necessity.
There was no alternative; Lin Yi's strength was overwhelming, and Set was acutely aware that victory alone was impossible.
Perhaps through united forces, a chance might emerge.
Naturally, should the battle reach its conclusion and circumstances permit, he fully intended to eliminate Chaos as well – who would pass up the opportunity for personal and planetary advancement?
Chaos harbored identical ambitions.
If the elites of Blue Star and Ancient Ape Star could be annihilated solely by his might, Elemental Star could potentially ascend to the zenith of the bound cosmic system.
In stark contrast to Set's frenzied reaction, Lin Yi remained remarkably composed.
Mutual annihilation, was he?
With Chaos's current power level, such an outcome was still not feasible.
Lin Yi, his face a mask of serenity, advanced towards the expanding dark mass that Set instinctively recoiled from.
Then, much to Set's horrified gaze, Lin Yi placed his hand upon the swelling darkness.
"Madness! Utter madness from all of them!"
"This creature is moments from exploding and you dare to touch it?!"
"Fools, you may not value your lives, but I do, you simply..."
The prospect of profiting as a mere spectator proved elusive.
After a torrent of exclamations, Set immediately channeled his intrinsic power, accelerating to his absolute limit and cloaking himself in the Taichu Law, swiftly making his escape.
In his estimation, Chaos's demise was a certainty.
The cataclysmic explosion, fueled by such immense elemental power, would inevitably shatter the very laws of life, rendering Chaos utterly incapable of survival.
As for Lin Yi, Set perceived his actions as sheer overconfidence, a suicidal act of confronting Chaos in its final moments.
If fate was unkind, the laws governing his existence might erupt directly, resulting in immediate annihilation.
In a more fortunate scenario, he might merely be left clinging to existence; provided Set fled with sufficient speed, he was confident he could still seize any ensuing advantages.
It's no wonder they call him an ape; his intellect is truly limited.
For Lin Yi to attain the pinnacle of Blue Star at such a young age, could he truly be merely strong without brains?
Intending to flee? Regrettably, neither of you two will be going anywhere.
Ding~
A distinct wave of light rippled outward, an unparalleled sensation flooding the bodies of the two formidable beings.
The connection, the resonance with the heavens and earth – why had it vanished?
The one most bewildered by this sensation was none other than Chaos.
Despite absorbing a colossal amount of elemental energy and being on the precipice of disintegration, his divine consciousness remained acutely clear.
He keenly perceived that the planetary will he had desperately invoked had abruptly and completely severed its connection with him.

While still reeling from the novel sensation, Chaos and Set were contemplating how to undo Lin Yi’s restraint when the scenario before them abruptly shifted.
The clamor of conflict completely vanished, supplanted by an utter stillness.
The surrounding maelstrom had somehow dissipated, and no matter how Chaos and Set searched, their vision was met only by an infinite void.
By expending the charge of an instantaneous, forbidden spell, Lin Yi had succeeded in drawing both Set and Chaos into the chaotic dimension he conjured.
The increased potency of the Power of the Primordial facilitated the skill’s smooth deployment.
With these two paramount beings absent, the state of the battle on Elemental Star could readily be surmised.
The Dust Elemental Body, as a formidable entity from Elemental Star, remained quite powerful, and even while being inexorably pulled by the colossal black hole, it still had the capacity to attack the invaders from Blue Star.
Just as these three were plotting a surprise assault on the Blue Star professionals' stronghold using the Annihilation Beam, they were all struck with astonishment.
What in the world is happening?!
Why is there no sign of the Elemental King’s presence!
Chaos, the most powerful being on Elemental Star, was not merely its sovereign but also the spiritual anchor for Elemental Star’s warriors.
As long as Chaos remained alive, the inhabitants of Elemental Star would likely not yield to the aggressors from Blue Star.
Yet, now, even the mighty Dust Elemental Body could not detect any trace of Chaos, could this possibly mean Chaos has already been vanquished?
Gazing towards the former battlefield where the three supreme entities had clashed, they observed only a solitary, proud young figure standing firm.
The Chaos Black Thunder, which had been absorbing the primordial energy from all living things for its own sustenance, was no longer visible at all.
The King of Ancient Apes, capable of pulverizing mountains and rivers with a single blow, was also nowhere to be seen.
What has Lin Yi done? To obliterate a supreme being wielding the power of the primordial is no simple feat.
The three Dust Elemental Bodies exchanged glances, a profound sense of dread instantly flooding their hearts.
Elemental Star is on the verge of collapse!
Even a moment's hesitation before Lin Yi could lead to unimaginable repercussions.
