Chapter 557: Dispersion

Lonemoon’s chest tightened. Holy shit, he’s called so many managers here. More and more plane gates began to appear in the sky. In just a couple of minutes, the sky was filled with a crowd of people. There were more than a hundred people.

“Hahaha…” Yu Heng laughed even harder now. “Don’t even think about getting away! All of you must die-”

“Are you sure?” Shen Ying interrupted him, her expression darkening.

Suddenly, a power that did not seem to belong to any manager swept across the sky, covering the entire water body. The crowd of managers who just joined them felt a weight on their bodies. One by one, they fell down into the water body and were pressed down so that they could not get up again. They felt their own powers leave their bodies. Seeing that they were unable to activate their own powers, an unexplainable fear began to rise up in them.

This power came so suddenly, yet it was more powerful than anything they had ever experienced before. Not one of them had time to react, or even think about what to do before they fell down to the ground. Even Lonemoon, Yi Qing and Fang Fang swayed and felt the urge to fall to their knees.

“You-” Yu Heng’s eyes widened as he looked at Shen Ying in disbelief. “What… exactly are you?!” Then, he could hold on no longer. His entire body exploded into several different colours, leaving nothing behind.

A silence fell over the entire water body. All that was left was the bunch of people who fell to the floor like dumplings earlier.

The dumplings: “…”

Who were they? Where were they? What just happened?

——————

Lonemoon counted the number of people present and found that there were a total of 106 dumplings – no, managers – in the Big Dao Organization. In addition to the 16 managers that Yu Heng had absorbed, there were 123 people. 123 was quite a neat number as well.

They had no difficulties deciding how to deal with these managers. According to them, they had been threatened by Yu Heng into joining the Big Dao Organization. Their reasons were similar to what Lonemoon and Yi Qing had figured out earlier. As opposed to being destroyed, it was simply easier for them to pretend to submit to Yu Heng’s authority. They only discovered after agreeing to join the organization that their own planes had been targeted and pulled into this water body’s galaxy. Every single move they made was under Yu Heng’s supervision.

This was also why Yu Heng could summon all of them here even seconds before his own death. It was obvious as well that the 16 people whose powers Yu Heng absorbed were those closest to him. All the executive work that it took to manage these different planes were conducted by them.

They kept taking in new planes, but for some reason, these managers kept disappearing one by one. In their hearts, they knew that there was a problem with the organization, yet they did not have the guts to speak up about it.

After all, Yu Heng was much stronger than all of them. The 16 people who were closest to him were not to be messed with either. Coupled with the fact that their planes were forever trapped in this territory, the managers knew that even if they were to join forces, they would be no match for Yu Heng and the others. It was in their best interests, therefore, to just remain where they were.

This explained why after Yu Heng’s death, these people did not even think about taking revenge on his behalf. Instead, they jumped and danced around in celebration, welcoming Yu Heng’s defeat more than anyone else.

Of course, among these people, there were a few who did not look too gleeful. However, this was understandable. They were managers after all, and representatives of this plane. If something happened to them, their planes would not do well either. Lonemoon and Chef discussed and decided that they would not do anything to harm these managers.

While the remaining managers had no clue what happened to the other managers who had disappeared before, Lonemoon and Chef had a fairly good idea. There was no need to think too much about it – Yu Heng and the other 16 must have absorbed their powers into their own bodies. This Big Dao Organization was created by Yu Heng and 16 others to help them increase their own powers. If Lonemoon and the rest had not come here, the remaining managers would all probably have met the same ending sooner or later.

“Excuse me, Boss…” A man in white robes looked to Shen Ying and raised his hand weakly. “Well… we really don’t want to stay in this Big Dao Organization any longer, but our planes have been locked in and around this galaxy. Seeing as you’re so powerful, can you please… please help us to break out of here?”

Once he finished speaking, the eyes of the other hundred managers, who were kneeling obediently around Shen Ying, seemed to brighten. They looked up to see her response.

Lonemoon pondered for a moment. That was true! So many plane trees were being trapped here, unable to leave. That could not be a good thing. For one, the plane trees would have difficulty growing. As each plane tree grew, they were bound to collide into one another. This would undoubtedly cause explosions and gaps to appear in the surroundings. What’s more, having this many managers gathered together in a small space might lead to another scary organization being formed.

Thus, Lonemoon turned to the person beside him and said, “Shen Ying, do you know any method to split them apart?” He suddenly recalled when Shen Ying helped out Pear Girl earlier. “You should be able to see what’s holding them here, right?”

“Yes, I can!” Shen Ying nodded.

“Then help them out, won’t you? Split them apart.” Bring them back where they came from – don’t let them remain here together.

The dumplings’ eyes brightened even more as they exchanged looks with one another. They looked at Shen Ying expectantly.

Shen Ying looked up and sat down, slumping over lazily. “Ah, how troublesome!”

“I’ll add more dishes to your dinner today!”

“Alright, Father Niu! No problem, Father Niu!” Shen Ying stood up immediately and looked up with a serious expression. “But it will definitely be more troublesome to split them apart one by one.”

Lonemoon’s expression darkened, but Shen Ying quickly added before he scolded her, “Why not we do them all at once?”

At once? What at once?

All of them hesitated. Before they could react, Shen Ying took several steps back. She threw the core of the fruit in her hand aside and clenched her hands into fists. Then, she punched the water body beneath her feet.

There was a low sound. The group felt waves sweep beneath their feet. Then, they heard a series of cracks that became louder and clearer.

Huge, white cracks began to appear on the surface of the water body, spreading out throughout the surface like a spiderweb until the entire water body began to split apart. The cracks spread all the way to the sky above.

The dumplings were shocked stiff. This water body and galaxy were formed using the combined powers of Yu Heng and the other managers. That was why the managers could not escape no matter how hard they tried. Compared to splitting individual planes from the territory, it was considerably much harder to destroy the entire territory. Yet, Shen Ying was able to do this… with just one punch?

Were they seeing things?

But the dumplings did not dwell on this problem for too long. Now, they were overwhelmed by a sense of freedom.

“My… my plane’s lock is gone!”

“Mine too! We’re finally free from this place! This is great!”

“Is this a miracle? My plane’s really… really able to leave this galaxy!”

“We’re free! We’re finally free!”

Each dumpling was more excited than the last. Some were even beginning to jump around with glee, as if they had just been reborn.
