Chapter 349 Endless Hatred from the Glacier
As soon as Suk's gaze swept across the scene, he was shocked to find that the waves of powerful figures present were vaguely divided into four factions: the Human Alliance, the Zerg Alliance, the Demon Alliance, and the Mechanical Alliance.
Even if a group of powerful kings teleport out, they will immediately move to the appropriate location after assessing the situation.
One after another, super strong individuals arrived from all directions and gathered here.
A powerful aura surged and churned, causing the space to tremble continuously.
The four alliances are engaged in a chaotic war of killing each other. The reason they haven't erupted yet is because what has attracted them is the legendary Ice Age Ruins.
So although the scene was full of tension and murderous intent, it remained within a restrained range.
However, such restraint is quite fragile.
Meanwhile, Suk had already flown towards the area of the Human Alliance. Because of the coordinates of friendly forces marked by the virtual universe, he knew where his allies and comrades were.
Suk successfully blended into the group of human kings. There were already hundreds of kings from the human alliance gathered here, but only a few were actually human. The rest were allies from other races. These allies were not just from the Hong Alliance, but also from various races in the universe that had joined under the name of the human camp.
"The King of Calamity".
"King of Calamity, you have arrived."
Suk's appearance drew a warm greeting from several of the kings he had met at the military base.
"There are so many Kings here," Su Ke remarked to a few acquaintances. He had met quite a few Kings at the military base these past few days, but most of the ones appearing here now were unfamiliar faces. They were likely Kings from other parts of the Eleventh Battlefield, or even those who had come from other battlefields.
Moreover, Suk also discovered that the strength of the gathering varied, and there were even some who were at the initial stage of being granted the title of King.
In the past, a King-level expert would have been considered top-tier combat power on the vast Ice River Continent. They were extremely rare, and it was difficult to encounter even one normally.
But now, the lowest rank of those gathered here is a King, while the lowest rank of King is just the bottom.
Although they were at the bottom, the large group of powerful members in their own faction working together naturally increased their safety. Moreover, killing a King was no easy task.
"Look there, the entrance."
The powerful kings looked into the distance and saw a huge hole appear beside a frozen river on the icy land. It was bottomless, and the waves of the frozen river were pouring into it along the crack.
"The distress signals from our allies originated from here."
"The glacial ruins, the treasures are all inside."
All the kings became excited. After confirming that the information was correct, they did not hesitate any longer and rushed towards the cave entrance one by one.
After all, everyone understands the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand.
"Can't you teleport?"
"No, the Glacier Ruins are blocked by a mystical structure, making teleportation impossible. We can only fly in from the outside," a powerful teleporter said, shaking his head. "If we didn't have specific coordinates, we wouldn't even be able to detect the location of that structure."
"There are already people inside. Let's not waste any more time and rush in to grab the treasure."
The demon race, the mechanical race, the insect race, the humans... the kings positioned in the four directions were all affected by the slightest movement. When someone rushed in, the other powerful figures couldn't help but move as well.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh... streaks of light pierced the sky, and in an instant, at least hundreds of streaks of light rushed toward the cave entrance.
The inconspicuous Suk also mingled among the hundreds of human kings and rushed towards the huge cave entrance.
Such a chaotic situation shattered the fragile balance, and the battle finally broke out.
Rumble... Hundreds of kings acted simultaneously, launching attacks on other parties in an attempt to stop them.
Powerful physical and spiritual attacks surged forth simultaneously.
Crashed!
Even a peak-level King-level expert like "King Lie Tuo" with golden armor would absolutely not dare to directly confront hundreds of King-level experts.
Moreover, this place is a gathering place for four factions, each with hundreds of kings, and more are constantly arriving.
The divine forces collided with each other, and under their terrifying power, the space within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers was blasted into dust and annihilated into a rampaging stream of particles. Everything on the earth was reduced to nothingness, and the immense power swept over hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
"Terrifying." Suk, who was among the many Kings who were attacking together, was secretly shocked by the scene. If it weren't for the fact that many Kings were joining forces to resist, any one of them could have killed a low-level King with a single blow.
The combined power of the strongest members from each faction had actually exceeded the normal limit for becoming a king.
This power is devastating.
In this context, the concepts of time standing still, space being imprisoned, etc., are simply a joke.
Suk fought alongside the crowd, but did not unleash Aloy's Myriad Stars.
Because Elo's myriad star clones are realm masters and cannot change their physical form, environments like underground ruins may not be suitable for her to fight in, and she might feel restricted.
"They actually started fighting right outside the ruins," Suk thought to himself.
Suk thought that the various parties would go inside the ruins and then start scheming against each other, but he overestimated their psychology.
If there are only a few strong individuals, it's manageable, but if there are too many people and no effective leadership, it's impossible to maintain the situation.
Once one side launches an attack, the other factions will inevitably be drawn into the battle.
Moreover, some people came specifically for the battle, and this rare spectacle made them excited.
kill!kill!kill!
A chaotic battle ensued.
Hundreds of kings, divided into four camps, engaged in a fierce battle at the entrance to the ruins passage, causing chaos and darkness.
Moreover, as time went by, wave after wave of kings arrived, and the situation began to escalate.
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, so Suk had no intention of standing out for the time being and stayed with the main group.
"Hmm?" Suk suddenly noticed a streak of purple lightning shooting out from the crowd at an astonishing speed. Inside was a figure with a pair of wings, rushing towards the cave entrance with the force of thunder.
Naturally, many of the kings' attacks converged on that figure. This was already a tacit understanding among all parties: to prevent others from easily entering, and if anyone dared to enter, the others would join forces to stop them.
Surrounding the purple lightning bolt, aside from their own faction, dozens of kings from the other three sides simultaneously launched attacks, some with ranged weapons, some with soul attacks, and some with divine power from swords and other weapons...
"Whoosh."
A crimson light shone forth.
The figure suddenly blurred, and blurry phantoms appeared in the surrounding space.
In an instant, its speed increased to a terrifying level, like a shooting star, disappearing from the cave entrance in a flash.
"What?"
"They actually let him in."
Many of those who were granted titles of nobility were taken aback. The sudden speed of this explosion startled them all.
"That's the Intercepting King of the Mechanical Race Alliance," a powerful figure said. "I've heard that this Intercepting King's speed burst can directly reach the limit of a King-level expert. He himself is also a peak King-level expert, and his physical and soul defenses are both very powerful. He is a terrifying existence."
King of the Beam is not a mechanical being, but comes from a powerful race. However, his strength is so great that he is one of the best on the scene, and no one can threaten him.
Even the highest level of kingship couldn't kill him.
With the strength of Jie Wang, it would be impossible for him to break through the passage if he were to face the interception of hundreds of kings on one side. The reason he was able to succeed was simply because he took advantage of the chaos and the mutual restraint among the parties to seize the opportunity and do so in one fell swoop.
However, not everyone can succeed at this.
"That speed is terrifying." Suk watched from behind with a chill in his heart. "Only by avoiding so many powerful figures and enduring soul attacks without being affected can one have a chance to rush in."
Ordinary attacks are one thing, but soul attacks are impossible to dodge; you can only endure them. If no one helps you defend or block them, you have to defend yourself.
This shows just how terrifying the King of the Intercepting Kingdom's strength is.
"There are quite a few experts here vying for the treasure." Suk's eyes flashed, but deep down he wasn't very confident that he could compete with other kings for the treasure under these circumstances.
He glanced around.
But if there's an opportunity, you should naturally do your best.
Next, other powerful individuals attempted to imitate the King of Interception and rush into the passage amidst the chaos, but they were intercepted by the wary parties.
If you weren't strong enough, you simply couldn't force your way through with so many obstacles.
Large-scale battles are still ongoing, though in Suk's view, these battles can only be described as intense, not as all-out.
If it really comes down to a desperate fight, then all sides will burn their divine bodies together.
In that situation, a single misstep could result in the deaths of a large number of powerful individuals.
But nobody's a fool. It's one thing to fight alongside the main force and see if there's a chance, but nobody would risk their life without even seeing the treasure. I'm afraid even more people would turn around and leave.
Suk also tried to rush down along the way, but was stopped.
He was protected by the "Death Star Vine" and the "Soul Star" on his body, which protected both his body and soul. He was not afraid of encountering danger, but it was impossible for him to break through the many obstacles. His speed was far inferior to that of the Intercepting King, and he could not avoid many attacks. He was bound by the shock and could not move easily. In addition, his methods were not enough, and he returned empty-handed after several attempts.
"They're really troublesome," Suk thought to himself as he retreated back into the main force.
If only we could teleport, but teleportation is blocked inside the Glacier Ruins, which is why so many people are left outside.
Others who witnessed his performance were equally astonished.
"Who is this?"
"What terrifying defense! So many attacks landed on him, yet he seems completely unharmed."
Although not all factions attack together during the interception, because they also need to be wary of other enemies, there are probably only a few dozen in total. However, the attack of several dozen kings should not be underestimated, and even the kings at their limit should be careful.
However, Suk charged in several times without incident, and his powerful defense made many kings secretly remember him.
Suk was very safe with his many allied kings. Whether it was a physical attack or a soul attack, his comrades would help him defend against it. So he even had the leisure to take a look around. The number of human alliance kings gathered around him had reached nearly two hundred.
The number of kings awarded to other factions was roughly the same.
In other words, nearly four figures have been granted royal titles here.
Such a gathering of so many kings is extremely rare even on the Ice River Continent.
Besides the Intercepting King from the Mechanical Alliance, two other Kings also seized the opportunity to rush into the passage and enter the Ice River Ruins. All three of them were extremely powerful Kings.
Including the Kings who were previously discovered entering the Glacier Ruins, there are probably close to double digits of Kings inside now.
He was still just hanging around outside with the main force, and although everyone was gradually getting closer to the entrance of the tunnel, the progress was incredibly slow. This slow pace made Suk a little anxious but also helpless.
While chaos reigned outside and the various kings who had entered the ruins were also fighting, at the deepest part of the ruins was an ancient metal hall. The floor of the hall was paved with smooth, silvery-white metal plates, each plate with its edges perfectly joined together. Under the bright light, it resembled a giant mirror, reflecting everything above, making one feel as if walking on clouds.
Occasionally, one can see exquisite patterns carved on the ground, walls, and ceiling, like mysterious runes, emanating waves of law invisibly.
At the center of the dome, there is a huge circular device, like a silver sun, surrounded by concentric metal rings that slowly rotate. Crystal tubes extend from the edges to other places, with streams of silver light flowing like water.
This is the core control room, where a three-dimensional virtual projection of the entire glacial ruins is suspended, allowing you to see various areas through the projection.
Sitting in the control room was a mechanical puppet made entirely of alloy, with a human-shaped upper body and a snake-tail lower body. This mechanical puppet was modeled after the natives of the Ice Age Continent and contained intelligent life. It had been monitoring the entire ruins for countless years, and the long years had allowed it to evolve into an intelligent life form.
"The alien race has finally discovered this place." The intelligent robot's eyes shone brightly, yet its voice revealed a human-like weariness.
As an intelligent life form, its most fundamental program is loyalty, so it considers itself a member of the original inhabitants of the Ice Age Continent! It has a variety of emotions, including joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and is equally filled with hatred for other races.
"Endless years, the long wait has been far too long. My mission is finally coming to an end." The intelligent robot raised its head and looked at the huge circular device in the center of the dome, which resembled a silver sun. That circular device was one of the manifestations of the highest wisdom of the natives of the Ice River Continent. It secretly connected to the Ice River outside and absorbed the Ice River's energy. Since its construction, it had remained here, silently absorbing and accumulating energy.
Over hundreds of millions of years, an immeasurable amount of energy has accumulated within it.
"Come on, come on then. You want our treasures, don't you? Then come on, this is your burial ground." The intelligent robot watched the three-dimensional virtual projection, seeing one alien king after another enter the ruins and wait silently.
The indigenous people had long since vanished from the glacial continent. Since that day, it has never received any new instructions. The final order left behind is to guard this ruin and, in the event of an invasion by an alien race that cannot be resisted, to detonate the energy core of the entire ruin, creating a massive explosion that will bury everything.
"It's all time to end it all."
