Trillionaire's Slice of Life

But at this moment, his heart faltered for the first time.

Tonight was the first time he learned there were other system owners in this world, and the first time he witnessed someone else's system.

Yet, no matter how he looked at it, as soon as he stepped into the world of system owners, he encountered a monster like the Phoenix.

The opponent not only possessed the Power of Phoenix but could also devour others' systems to acquire their abilities.

Such a power could only be described as invincible.

Chu Mo didn't hesitate for a moment—if the Phoenix eradicated him and Yu Wenjing, she would undoubtedly devour his Tycoon System along with Yu Wenjing's Gravity System.

At this moment, matters like the value of his Tycoon points were entirely irrelevant to him.

A mid-level skill worth 10,000 points was the strongest skill Chu Mo could use. Last time, he relied on this skill to defeat the ancestor of the Xue family.

And this time, though his remaining Tycoon points were sparse, he still didn't hesitate to pour out 10,000 points.

"Destruction Skill activated. Centered on Chu Mo, an orb of pitch-black energy began to form, and as the black light—symbolizing darkness and devouring—started to expand, the Spatial System originally confining the surroundings simultaneously lost effect, and Chu Mo, who had been immobilized, finally regained motion."

Meanwhile, on the ground, the Phoenix completed her spell circle. As her eyes turned a strange shade of red, the array before her began firing one terrifying energy-infused laser beam after another at Chu Mo.

However, as those fearsome lasers entered the black energy orb, they were immediately consumed without leaving even the slightest ripple, disappearing completely without a trace.

Next came the second, the third, straight up to hundreds of lasers, all entering the black orb and having no effect. The Phoenix on the ground halted her futile attack and gazed solemnly at the ever-expanding dark energy in the air.

The Destruction Skill, a mid-level ability valued at 10,000 Tycoon points, equated to 10,000 points in terms of worth.

Neither the S-ranked skill Spatial Confinement nor the B-ranked Eye of the Heavenly God consumed more than 100 to 1,000 points each, making their power pale in comparison to the Destruction Skill, the difference being more than tenfold.

As the Destruction Skill continued to unleash, the surrounding space began to collapse, and even the most enigmatic aspect of time couldn't escape the pull of the black energy.

The horrifying black energy gradually evolved into a miniature black hole, and everywhere the black hole passed, all space crumbled entirely.

Against such an apocalyptic force, resistance proved utterly futile. Not only humans but even the strongest systems and skills could only succumb to its relentless devouring.

With time, the black hole's expansion accelerated. If it initially grew slowly and incrementally, just a few breaths later, the rate had reached the speed of a running human; a few breaths after that, it rivaled a mighty gale.

Though far from the lightning-quick speed of the Phoenix, the black hole's expansion was resolute, its speed and range relentlessly increasing.

The Phoenix, watching from the ground as the black hole crept ever closer to her, instinctively knew that her power was utterly incapable of budging the black hole even slightly. If she stayed here, she would ultimately be consumed.

She took one last glance at the wreckage of the bar, where the wounded young man lay on the ground, gritted her teeth slightly, and looked up at the nearing black hole, her gaze filled with unwillingness. She could only retreat for now.

With a flash, she landed in the ruins of the bar. Just as the Phoenix was about to seize her brother and swiftly leave, she suddenly discovered the surrounding space beginning to solidify. Her previously uninhibited movements now appeared as if bound by invisible threads, severely restricting her actions.

And at that moment, a cold voice sounded instantly from mid-air:

"Gravity Field activated, hundredfold gravity!"

"Agility Restriction… Puppet on Strings!"

"Speed Restriction… Prison in Water!"

"Skill Weakening… Divine Punishment!"

Yu Wenjing's abilities were not merely limited to a Gravity Field. The hundredfold gravity upgrade was only one among her many skills.

At this critical moment, Yu Wenjing also understood it was time to risk everything. If she couldn't stop the Phoenix woman today, she would undoubtedly face endless retaliation from her in the future.

Given the Phoenix woman's displayed strength, in just one day, she had already devoured two people's systems. If they met again, who knows how terrifying she might become?

Thus, at this moment, Yu Wenjing held nothing back. Disregarding her remaining points entirely, she adopted a desperate stance and unleashed all her skills in an instant.

Under hundredfold gravity, merely restraining the Phoenix's movements was barely manageable. However, adding Agility Restriction, Speed Restriction, and Skill Weakening simultaneously meant that no matter how fast and agile she had previously been, at this moment, she moved as slow as a tortoise.

Rendered practically immobile, the Phoenix looked skyward. Above her, the devouring black energy loomed ever closer—it would reach her overhead in mere moments.

Nearby, she could see her severely injured, unconscious brother right in front of her.

At this moment, the Phoenix faced an agonizing choice. If she abandoned the unconscious young man and focused all her strength on her abilities, she could perhaps narrowly escape being consumed by the black hole.

But such an act would result in the young man's certain death.

The other option was to stay and unleash her full powers to resist, though her chances of surviving weren't great.

As for wanting to escape with her brother, there wasn't even the smallest possibility.

By herself, weighed down by hundredfold gravity and the array of skill restrictions, she was already virtually immobile. Adding her brother, who was similarly crushed under the hundredfold gravity, would mean she couldn't take even one step.

Watching as the dark energy overhead closed in, seeing her chance of survival grow increasingly slim, she glanced down at her unconscious brother one last time. At that moment, she saw the young man slowly wake under the extreme pressure. Though his consciousness was hazy, he had obviously become aware of the imminent danger. Using all his remaining strength, he barely managed to move his finger.

The young man's finger gently touched the Phoenix's foot, signaling for her to leave.

The Phoenix, whose face had been filled with hesitation, suddenly let out a sorrowful cry. Her voice became incomparably tender as she said:

"We're family. If we die, we die together!"

The next moment, the terrifying black hole descended, and despite the Phoenix's desperate resistance, the siblings were consumed together...

The black hole slowly vanished, and the collapsed surroundings stabilized. As Chu Mo and Yu Wenjing returned to the ground, they saw the entire bar had become a circular pit over ten meters in diameter.

Within the pit, every trace of existence had been swallowed.

This included the former bar, the bar owner, and the Phoenix siblings. As for the previously unconscious middle-aged man, he had been rescued by someone, while the local thugs had long fled without a trace.

Dozens of system owners remained in the vicinity, but due to the prior battle and fear of the black hole, they had retreated to at least a kilometer away.

With the dust settled, everyone's gaze now fixed on Chu Mo standing in the center of the pit. Every pair of eyes bore an expression of astonishment and fear.

Clearly, the skill Chu Mo had just unleashed far surpassed their comprehension.

At this moment, within the pit, five faint light orbs began to float.

The five light orbs rose from the ground and gradually floated toward the sky.

And just as the five light orbs were about to vanish into the void, Chu Mo suddenly opened his mouth. Just like the Phoenix woman earlier, he devoured the five light orbs in an instant!

"Tycoon System starting up..."

"Spatial System starting up..."

"Phoenix System starting up..."

"Eye of the Heavenly God System starting up..."

"Infinite Acceleration System starting up..."

"Swallowing System starting up..."
