Chapter 350 Heavy Casualties
As news of the emergence of the glacial ruins spread, a storm arose, and kings from all directions were teleported over to witness the fierce battlefield.
"The appearance of the glacial ruins has attracted so many powerful beings." A huge black dragon-like alien creature with scales all over its body that looked like they were cast from black iron was extremely amazed by its companion.
"Should we go over there?" Its companions were eager to go, after all, the treasures of the glacial ruins were too attractive, and they didn't know how long it would take to encounter one.
"No, you go first if you want to, I'll wait here and see."
"Okay, I'll be right there then. I'll let you know if anything comes up."
Most of those who were granted the title felt they had a chance to join immediately because of the large number of people, while some had concerns and did not want to take the risk, so they remained in a wait-and-see state.
Those who had been granted titles of kingship all watched the battle between the opposing factions from a distance.
Undoubtedly, as time has passed, the number of people who have been crowned kings in the chaotic battle at the entrance of the passage has exceeded four figures.
finally-
Whoosh! Some of the top-ranked warriors near the entrance finally had a chance to rush in.
As if it were a signal, or a flood bursting its banks, all the kings abandoned their resistance and, without hesitation, chose to enter the passage directly.
Chaos reigned, with strong tremors and explosions emanating from the passageway, clearly indicating a battle was taking place inside as well.
With a whoosh, Suk, whose entire body was covered in black armor with only his eyes showing, mingled among the human ranks and moved swiftly through the passage. This passage was circular, about thirty kilometers in diameter, and was winding and twisting, branching off into more and more paths after each section.
"A fork in the road?"
"Let's go our separate ways."
At this point, the main force had split into small groups of three to five, most of which were formed when they teleported over, while others were strong individuals who later formed teams or acted alone.
Instead of traveling with the others, Suk chose a side path and flew in alone.
There were many powerful individuals inside the passage, but their numbers decreased rapidly as they dispersed to various locations.
The battles here are not as intense as outside. Everyone is here in search of treasures, and given the complex situation, the strong are more restrained.
Suk dashed through a wide, deep passage like a phantom, his gaze sweeping over the strange, engraved patterns on the surrounding walls, which faintly emanated fluctuations of law, rendering divine power detection and teleportation ineffective.
However, thanks to the network of the virtual universe army system, the location of allies can still be seen.
Nearly three hundred members of the Human Alliance have been granted the title of King upon entering this area.
If we include the other three factions, there are probably over a thousand people who have been granted the title of king here.
"Aloy's myriad-star avatar is indeed unsuitable for this place," Suk thought to himself. At this moment, he did not release Aloy's human form.
Suk sensed that the path spiraled downwards, and he didn't know how large the ruins were. With his consciousness, which was comparable to that of a highly intelligent light brain, he quickly identified the route and formed a map in his mind.
After turning another corner, six more forks appeared ahead.
As Suk chose the middle path to rush forward, a cold light suddenly shot out and lashed out at Suk head-on.
A strange king, resembling a tall, humanoid insect, suddenly appeared. He had four thick arms, each wielding a strange weapon of varying lengths. His scales were silver-gray, and his pupils were green. His gaze toward Suk was filled with undisguised killing intent.
Sensing the threat, Suk did not hesitate to swing his knife.
Pong!
The two forces collided, and a powerful shockwave immediately swept in all directions. Suk, who had just entered the side passage, was thrown back the way he came by the impact, while the humanoid insect-like alien in front of him was also thrown away. It was in a worse state than Suk, crashing violently into the wall of the corridor at the end. The walls of the ruins corridor trembled slightly, and some of the secret carvings on them flickered slightly.
"How... how could this be..." A hint of shock appeared in the alien's eyes.
Su Ke steadied himself, gripped his battle sword, and coldly looked at it. "A mere high-level King dares to be so presumptuous?" If he were to activate the power of the Teng Snake bloodline, Su Ke's life gene level would reach 5280 times. With the amplification of the Four Divine Generals, that would be 52 times the power of a Realm Lord, several times stronger than a normal peak King.
"Hmph." A hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the alien king. He silently got up and moved quickly forward, his figure disappearing around the corner of the passage. He had clearly realized that the enemy was not to be trifled with and had given up the idea of continuing to entangle them.
"There are indeed too many kings in these ruins. I really don't know what will happen after so many powerful people gather here." Suk shook his head, no longer intending to continue the pursuit, and changed to another path.
He also felt a surge of fighting spirit. There were many powerful people gathered here, including not only extremely strong peak-level Kings like Jie Wang, but also those at the limit of King status. He longed to fight against these powerful individuals.
The core control room of the glacial ruins.
The intelligent robot stared at the virtual projection of the monitoring system, seeing the various kings moving around.
"1277nd digit."
"1336nd digit."
A loud rumble—it could feel a powerful tremor rapidly approaching, accompanied by a piercing alarm from the control room.
A powerful enemy is destroying the passageway and approaching.
"It's a pity. I wanted to wait for more people to come in, but there's no time..." The intelligent robot stopped paying attention to the three-dimensional virtual projection and looked up at the huge, dazzling, silvery-white sphere on the dome. Complex patterns were faintly visible on its surface, flowing like living things, exuding a sense of mystery.
This is the "Glacier Energy Core," the culmination of the highest wisdom of the indigenous people of the Glacier Continent. Over countless years, it has accumulated enormous energy, compressed into this sphere, possessing incredible power.
To be more specific, this is an energy source.
There are various types of energy in the universe, such as cosmic crystals and immortal crystals. The highest level is the immortal crystal, which contains stronger energy and can be used for a longer period of time.
There are also Vulcan Source Crystals, Thunder God Source Crystals, etc. - These are extremely highly condensed crystals of immortal divine power, which can be used as energy sources and can also be detonated directly!
It's similar to the effect of an immortal god self-destructing. The principle is simple, but the technology involved is extremely advanced. After all, to continuously compress such astonishing immortal divine power into "immortal crystals," and then further compress it into "source crystals" with a concentration tens of millions of times stronger, the technology required is simply too advanced.
This "silver-white sun" is only possible because of the unique and mysterious technology of the indigenous people, which allows them to condense such a large energy crystal and maintain its stability.
It's important to know that the most advanced Vulcan Source Crystals that can be created in the universe are ridiculously powerful, equivalent to 10 times the power of a peak-level King's self-destruction! There's even a certain probability that it could cause even a King at their limit to perish!
However, it is only the size of a fist, while the dazzling silver-white sun in front of us not only has a power comparable to the strongest Vulcan Source Crystal, but its visible diameter is also more than 10 meters!
If it weren't for the fact that it's immovable and must be fixed inside the building to maintain stability, it would be an absolutely terrifying weapon!
Suddenly—BOOM! The wall in one corner of the control room shattered, sending countless metal fragments flying. As if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting, countless pieces of metal crashed into the control room hall.
Meanwhile, the control room hall automatically generated a defensive energy shield to neutralize these impacts.
Amidst the smoke and dust, a tall and ferocious figure vaguely appeared. It was an alien race with fiery red scales covering its body, walking upright like a dinosaur. Thick bone spurs grew on its shoulders, and a pair of large red eyes were exposed on its face. Its fangs were bared, and it exuded an extremely powerful aura.
The intelligent robot watched calmly, "You're very powerful, King of Kings. Those defensive measures really couldn't stop you, allowing you to be the first one to arrive here."
The fiery-scaled alien swept across the hall, about to say something, when suddenly sensing something amiss, it abruptly raised its head and looked up at the dome high above—
The silvery-white sun was shattering, its surface covered with a dense network of cracks, revealing its original, hidden power.
A sense of dread rose in the heart of this alien king at the limit of his power; it was the shadow of death.
"No!" His eyes widened in horror. He had thought it was an incredible fortune, but it turned out to be a desperate situation.
That's too late!
Silently, the sun shattered, and a pale hue descended.
"It's over." A sense of relief appeared in the intelligent robot's eyes; its mission had come to an end.
A blinding white light swept across the sky, obscuring everything before our eyes. The intelligent robot disintegrated in the pale light, annihilating into the most basic particles.
The white light burst forth at the speed of light in all directions, sweeping everything away.
The closest, incredibly powerful King Limit roared as its divine body burned, only to be instantly swallowed by the surging waves.
Silently, death descends.
Meanwhile, the kings buried in the ruins were unaware of the impending doom.
"Hmm?" In the complex, spiraling passage, a hundred-meter-tall cyclops wearing grayish-yellow stone-like armor sensed something.
He saw the wall, covered with intricate carvings, suddenly crack open, revealing a powerful, chilling white light.
"What?" The Cyclops felt a powerful and incredible energy surge towards him. In an instant, before he could even think or dodge, a thick, tortoise-shell-like armor appeared all over his body, enveloping him like an egg. However, under the impact of the white light, the tortoise shell shattered just like a fragile eggshell, revealing the Cyclops inside with a face full of fear.
Without a sound, the metal walls and ground were blasted apart and torn apart, and the white light then engulfed the Cyclops.
A white light surged forth, and the entire ruins were swallowed up and erased layer by layer from bottom to top.
In another passage, a purple bolt of lightning was rapidly advancing, easily overcoming any obstacles it encountered. Within the light, a pair of sharp, metallic wings and a pair of cold, piercing eyes were faintly visible.
Its appearance is like that of a bird of prey, and it is the "Interceptor King" of the Mechanical Race.
The King of Interception is extremely skilled in speed, especially in narrow and winding areas where he is like a fish in water.
It is confident that even the limit of being crowned king cannot catch up with it or stop it.
"I need to hurry and find the location of the important treasure as soon as possible," the Intercepting King thought to himself. Whoosh! His speed increased dramatically, and he roared into a winding passage ahead, quickly moving forward along it.
But it hadn't gone far when it suddenly saw a white light.
That was true light, traveling at the speed of light. The moment the King of the Rift saw it, he was destined to be unable to escape.
"What is this?" King Jie stared wide-eyed as the dazzling white light rushed toward it.
Because of the unique nature of the entire glacial ruins and the airtightness of the buildings, no king could detect the explosion spreading from the bottom layer in advance.
But by the time they realized it, it was too late.
Suk advanced through the middle of the ruins, and like the other kings, he judged that the truly valuable parts of the ruins were at the very bottom, so he followed them deeper down.
"Where exactly is the treasure?" Suk was thinking when he suddenly sensed something was wrong. His consciousness was constantly connected to the virtual universe, and he was also paying attention to the coordinates of his allies marked by the virtual universe network army system.
Several allies who were previously at the lower levels suddenly disappeared.
"How could this be?" Suk was startled. "They've fallen?"
Unless the virtual universe connection is actively disconnected, the virtual universe army system will mark the individual's location, which is to prevent friendly fire.
Suk also discovered that the entire ruins were unimaginably huge, extending deep underground, and that the several kings who disappeared at the same time were in different locations, some even quite far apart.
Even if there were no obstacles, the distance wouldn't be something you could cross instantly.
What's more, they were a group of powerful kings!
Could they all disappear at the same time?
A strange sense of crisis arose in Su Ke's mind, making him feel that a great terror was about to arrive.
At this moment, Suk also discovered that some of his allies' markers were also disappearing one after another. Judging from their positions, the disappearances were spreading from the bottom upwards.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and a sudden calmness appeared in Suk's eyes. "Some danger is spreading from underground."
But what exactly is the danger? In any case, the ability to devour so many powerful individuals in such a short time is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying danger.
At this point, it's too late to retreat or leave, and teleportation is also impossible.
Suk stood at the entrance of the passage, not daring to hesitate any longer. With a wave of his hand, a gourd like white jade appeared, then suddenly grew larger and larger, until it reached thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters, until it reached the edge of the passage. The mouth of the gourd opened, and the deep entrance of the passage was right in front of Suk.
"Let's go." Suk flew straight in, and then the gourd sealed completely.
Inside this magnificent flying palace, the swift-moving Suk retrieved the Allah spaceship, entered it, and then released the Death Star Vine in the safest cabin, enlarging it to occupy the entire space and surrounding himself in layers.
It seemed like a long time, but in reality it only took two or three seconds. After all this was done, endless white light surged out from below like a wave.
boom!!!
At that moment, heaven and earth fell silent, and all sounds ceased.
A white light destroyed everything and shot into the sky.
One of the kings outside, who was about to fly down, suddenly caught a glimpse of white light shooting out of the passage.
Then, the kings who were watching from the sidelines and did not go in also saw the endless white light that destroyed the world.
A blindingly bright light enveloped them.
The world was completely silent.
This dazzling, vast white light enveloped an area spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, transforming all soil, rocks, and underground structures into a stream of the most basic particles.
From underground ruins to the surface, over a thousand kings were swept up in the blast and were almost instantly pulverized.
There were even some kings who had just teleported there and were unlucky enough to be caught in the blast radius before they even knew what was happening.
After a long silence, a deafening explosion erupted, and invisible shockwaves swept outwards in all directions, blasting away distant mountain ranges and glaciers, and tearing apart billions of kilometers of land into deep canyons...
