Chapter 216: Dad, Save Me!! (W word big chapter, ask for a monthly pass!) )

[Don't talk too much, get on the bus]

Faced with Anfa's direct Xiou emotion, Ian made the dark gold dragon open his mouth, revealing the passage to the cockpit: [Everyone is here, you temporarily block your mother and other marks on your body]

"Okay." Although he had experienced too many things in a short period of time and spoke instinctively for a moment, Anfa quickly regained his composure and figured out what was going on in a very short time.

Clearly, Ian has defeated the Lord of the Labyrinth and taken his body!

Although he couldn't figure out exactly how Ian did it, Anfa was surprised that this was the result.

"Hey, everybody's here?"

And when Anfa shielded the marks left by her mother and Speaker Yavda on her body and entered the cockpit of the reactor inside the dragon's body, she couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect it to be quite spacious inside."

"Do dragons have stomachs that big? Will my stomach be like this in the future?"

"Not necessarily." On this issue, Theo, the only true dragon in the group of four, explained it quite professionally: "Just like me, what I inherited from my mother is the 'decay furnace', which mainly draws energy and condenses pure ether or essentia crystals as body parts."

"My current hearth is the 'Spiritual Extraction Furnace', which mainly uses the Illusion Immersion Reaction to convert ingestion into subspace matter to strengthen my psionic abilities."

"And this 'biochemical reactor' of the Dark Gold Dragon is essentially an internal alloy furnace, and like the Iron Dragon, it mainly uses the extreme essentia environment to "upgrade" the metal by ingesting a large amount of metal substances, and uses it as a raw material for forging its own body. Steelstone is a by-product of this uplift reaction and can be understood as slag."

"Anfa, have you decided that you want to be a dragon?" As Theo gushed about the differences between dozens of different True Dragon Furnace Hearts, Ethan keenly saw the difference between Anfa at this time.

Although Anfa was very calm before, she could even be said to be calm and reliable, but she had been hiding things in her heart and was a little absent-minded.

It's not just him, Ian must be able to see it...... But when it comes to her life choices, friends can encourage and help, but they can't really choose a path for her.

Only she can decide which side she wants to take. And now, Anfa has made a decision.

"Yes." The elven girl smiled and replied, "I always wondered if my existence made sense....... But now that I think about it, it's all too much for me to think about."

"Mother...... And the father. They keep an eye on me all the time, and although they may not be able to be there for me because they are too busy or for other reasons, they will support me no matter what choice I make. Just thinking about it, I suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of."

"It's just a pity......" Turning his head, Anfa looked at the dragon bone square beyond the dragon's body, his eyes were slightly regretful: "I just met once......

"You guys have parents, don't say that to my face."

Just as Ethan and Theo were immersed in self with Anfa

In the atmosphere of a single-parent family, Ian said angrily, "Everyone, be serious, this matter is not over yet."

"Anfa, it may be offensive to say, but your father's dragon crystals and divine essence must be put away immediately—you don't want them to fall into the wrong hands, do you?"

"Hmm."

Anfa patted her face and regained her original calm state, she said solemnly, "I communicated with my father before, and he said that the dragon's blood contains a terrible curse, and although the fifth-level powerhouse can obtain a second life, at the end of the second life, it is easy to be corrupted by the demonic infestation brought by the curse."

"And the essence and dragon crystal he left behind also contain extremely terrifying curses.......

Saying this, the elven girl and Ian looked at each other, and she said quite seriously, "Most of the curses in my dragon soul and blood have been removed, but there is only a little left, as long as I accidentally get lost, I will fall into madness."

"Yes

In his father's legacy, however, contains the curse he carried in his heyday...... Ian, I know that your goal is your father's legacy, and my father has hinted to me that His power is for a "Creator heir" like you."

"But I still want to tell you...... If you can't find a way to get rid of the dragon's curse, it's best not to rush into the 'legacy.'"

"I know." Ian lowered his eyes, and he chuckled, "Come and think, otherwise, who doesn't want the power of a dragon?"

"Inheritor and guide of civilization....... After the destruction of the civilization under its protection, the Star Guardian Dragon will naturally carry all the curses and despair that were born when this civilization was destroyed, and the Void Demon will be born from it, becoming the bone of the Dragon's Blood."

The reason why Ian didn't have such a poison is most likely because the curse in the "Ancient Dragon Heart Core" has long been removed by Inaga II and Hilliard.

Rather, isn't the 'mad dragon' they are crusading against the same dragon that has fallen into madness because of the curse? Only such a dragon will be tacitly approved by Dragon Island and become the target of crusade.

How to expel the curse...... This may be the secret method of the major forces with various dragon blood inheritances.

Shaking his head, Ian motioned for Anfa to connect the data cable as well, "We'll wait until we get out of the ruins safely."

"Let's go get our hands on it first."

The Dragon Crystal storage cabinet is located in Anfayuan

As the echo faded, Ian, who had gathered the 'Star God Gift Trio', had already obtained the highest authority of the entire Xenomorph Research Institute, and those seals could not stop him at all.

And the next step was the crimson golden essence suspended on the top of the ancient dragon's remains.

The depths like small suns released veins of psionic light visible to the naked eye, and they formed overlapping rings in mid-air like flashing water, crisscrossing and crisscrossing to form a huge magic ring.

But these are all visions of the power of the Divine Essence exposed, and the real Divine Essence is only the little 'light' at the core.

"It has to use a dragon soul to accept it, but at the very least, it must have a fourth-level dragon soul."

Anfa reminded, "This is not for me, but for the Creator's successor...... I think Ian, you are. Do you have a way?"

"Yes......"

Staring at the light, Ian took a deep breath and pressed the "Silver Chip" and the "Soul of the Source" in ***: "I know the way."

Although Ian has collected all three parts of the Astral Rite, he has not yet fused them all and changed back to his original form.

After all, it has been 1,600 years, and the original three parts, except for the body of light, which still retains its original form, the other two parts have undergone a lot of changes due to the owner.

Even Ian couldn't figure out all of these changes in a short period of time and then bring them back together...... But even the three parts that are separated each other possess unimaginable power for the Terra.

With the 'Star Radiance' and the 'Source Soul', he can definitely inherit the essence of the dragon!

The dark golden dragon soared into the sky, speeding towards the place where the divine essence was, layer after layer of psionic shields were broken through by him, and one after another psionic fields were pierced by him, obviously there was nothing in the air, but there was a crisp sound of glass being shattered again and again.

Until the last breaking sound sounded, the dragon opened his mouth, and he swallowed the little sun in the sky one by one

And in the belly of the dragon, Ian, who stood up, also reached out and held the light!

In the deep, thick, substance-like light, the information that only those who possess the gift of the star god can know is released.

Whoever you are, Successor of the Creator, you must have reunited the three parts of the Creator's Gift...... In Terra today, this may not be a status that would be respected, and it may even be the goal of other intelligent beings.]

[You need strength, and I

Give your strength. However, the heirs ...... Please don't forget the true mission between you and me and the Nexus (the Ancestral Dragon...... In order to protect all life, in order to store the seeds of the fire of all civilizations, you must build the cradle]

[Reshape the cradle, build the barrier, the demon of the end will not be your hindrance......]

【Successor...... Become an eternal 'ring', become an infinite 'light']

[Embrace the Flames]

"Wait, what does that mean?"

Feeling the information whirring through his heart, Ian couldn't help but be stunned, but at this time, the huge power contained in the essence of the god also followed the port of the 'Body of Light', processed by the 'Star Radiance', and then surged towards the 'Source Soul'!

[Giant Creature Spirit Database Detected...... Named "Dragon Essence"

【Model loading......】

The blazing light submerged into his body, and light golden streaks of light lit up from his right hand, submerged into the skin, and extended along the white jade-like body all the way to the neck, cheeks, and eyelids, and finally converged in the deepest part of the young man's eyes.

Hum One-

The light suddenly rose, surrounding Ethan, and Theo and Anfa felt that the world was blank, like two suns suddenly erupting, erasing all darkness.

However, in this pure light, a faint and deep curse could be heard.

Desperate lamentations, mournful weeping. The roar of hatred, the curse of bitterness......

Different languages, different tones, different civilizations, different souls.

"Hmm...... This level?!"

At this moment, Ian's indestructible soul structure sensed erosion—just as the strongest steel could be eroded by compound concentrated acid, he sensed the "curses" of more than a dozen different civilizations at this moment!

This corrosive force is like a dozen different thick acids mixed together, attacking every aspect of the young soul!

And that's not the limit—too many memories are building up in the essence of the gods, and there are countless calamities and curses hidden in them!

"How many civilizations does the Blazing Hanging Star Dragon carry on its body?"

At this moment, Ian fully understood why Anfa had no interest in the essence of the god as a child of the ancient dragon, and she must have known all this from the inheritance given by her father.

- This thing looks shiny on the surface, but it's actually a super bomb!

The so-called 'Dragon's Blood Curse' and 'Ominous', Ian has a guess.

As we all know, the existence of fire itself is the place where all the "hopes" of a civilization are placed.

And the real dragon that accompanies this civilization is naturally the same as 'Tinder', but it is different and relatively independent.

Generally speaking, the Star Guardian Dragon, also known as the Dragon of Terra, will stand up to defend against disasters when disaster strikes...... If it is really a disaster that can destroy the entire civilization and even the true dragon, then the real dragon will generally die out at the same time as the civilization.

But...... There are exceptions.

Some true dragons have been entrusted by the civilization they are sheltering, asking them not to protect their dying civilization, but to act as the 'eternal guardians' to protect the "fire".

In this way, the true dragon that guards the fire is the true guardian saint of the extinct civilization...... Even though all souls are gone, the eternal blessings and expectations will always hover around Him.

Can....... If.

What if the fire is dead, but the real dragon is not dead?

Then, how much hope and blessing has been carried, then how much curse and despair will be endured.

--Why are you still alive? - Why didn't you die?

One—Clearly made a contract to protect our last fire, didn't it......

- Why...... Do you still exist?

Naturally, the power of the true dragon will not be really affected by these invisible resentments, but this infinite curse will spread to the virtual realm, and it will continue to create an extremely large number of "demons" just like an entire civilization that has sunk into the abyss.

These demons may not be able to do anything to the true dragon itself, but when the true dragon dies, those who inherit the blood of the true dragon and the power of the true dragon are equivalent to continuing his life - and the same is true of the curse.

And the human beings who inherit the power of the true dragon will not have an indestructible body and soul like the real dragon, so they will be slowly eroded by these curses, and then their old age is unknown, and even themselves

's soul was also completely transformed and turned into a Void Demon.

This is the truth of the Dragon's Blood Curse...... In this way, it can also explain why Dragon Island always needs to deal with the invasion of Void Demons.

After all, because of the Fall from the Sky, not only the humans of Terra were injured, but also the many fires that gathered on Terra were destroyed as a result...... The true dragons with the mission of guarding these fires naturally collectively bear the curse of the demise of these fires.

They were indeed ashamed and convicted of this, and this catalyzed the formation of demons.

It's just that Ian really didn't expect it...... On the body of the Blazing Hanging Star Dragon, there are actually more than a dozen civilized curses!

"Affection...... The longer the dragon lives, the more civilizations it can experience, and by the way, it will be cursed by more civilizations?!"

Fortunately, Ian has a silver chip and a source soul, and his own soul has been transformed by meditation, otherwise, he is afraid that he will perform a "demon transformation" on the spot Hahaha, speaking of which, the blood river weapon on his body is not broken, if the two collude, he is afraid that he will not directly transform into a void blood demon!" Quick!"

Holding on to his senses, Ian staggered to the driver's seat he had molded out earlier, gasping for breath and commanding, "Get out of here...... Let's go deeper!"

"Let's go!" Everyone could also see that Ian was wrong, so they didn't hesitate to manipulate the dark gold dragon to dive deeper into the labyrinth.

"Wait."

But Ian suddenly stopped, and he controlled the dark gold dragon to fly back to the ancient dragon's remains, and collected some dragon blood sources before returning: "Anyway, it's also cursed, and if you don't take a little more, you'll suffer...... Keep walking!"

「...... I thought you'd take more, but I didn't expect to leave in such a hurry." Theo looked at this scene, she blinked, and complained, "But now I'm relieved that you're okay."

"It's not a big problem, it's just a buzzing head, and it will be fine in a while."

Ian shook his head: "The source of dragon blood is the most important thing for all the strongest people in this world, and everything else is slightly inferior, I don't want to really become the target of other fifth energy levels because I take too much."

"As for why we are in a hurry to leave......

Ian raised his head and looked around at everyone present, and he smiled bitterly, "Of course, everyone is all glowing red, and they are all in a mortal crisis."

"And what can cause this mortal crisis is either the aftermath of the battle of the fourth-level powerhouses, or something even more terrifying......

"The aftermath of the battle of the fifth-level powerhouse."

"Wouldn't it? They're going to hit the side of Half Moon Lake?" Everyone was shocked, and Anfa shook his head in disbelief: "Lord Aviliwen's wind can change the vector, even if it is not good for the bloodline of the realm, but it can also guarantee to drag Campany!"

"It's true that they're unlikely to hit the side of Half Moon Lake, but you're underestimating Campany." Ian shook his head, "Subspace attacks don't require matter vectors that much...... He's sure he'll find an opportunity to attack."

"Anyway, find a good place to hide."

Under the control of Ian's authority, the Darkgold Dragon continued to dive into the deepest depths of the subspace labyrinth...... Contrary to everyone's imagination, the deepest part of the maze is the "exit" of the maze.

Where will the realistic exit of the large subspace labyrinth of the Xenomorph Research Institute be?

The answer, of course, is the next level!

The fourth floor of the Xenomorph Research Institute, ???

The dark gold dragon that had returned to the long-lost reality fell from mid-air, throwing out large clouds of smoke and dust on the ground,

This is due to the fact that Ian, the main controller, is now largely down, and all of his computing power is used to build a firewall to combat the curse contained in the 'Dragon Essence'.

Completely eliminating the curse will require a water mill to clean it up slowly, but if you don't want to be affected for the time being, you can build a firewall.

With Ian's strength, it doesn't take too long to build a firewall, and before that, Xi'o became the temporary master.

"Wow, where is this?"

The dark gold dragon slowly rose from the pit, and its six eyes looked around suspiciously.

Different from the first three floors, which are very architectural style of pre-era civilizations, the fourth floor of the research institute basically does not show any traces of man-made objects—it seems to be a huge natural crystal cave, and a large number of crystal clusters are densely spread all over the inner side of this cave, releasing a natural spiritual energy field.

"This seems to be the heart of the psionic field...... One of the sources of energy for the subspace labyrinth!"

Among the people present, Ethan, who had the best alchemy skills except for Ian, immediately noticed the truth, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Such a huge natural spiritual energy field has actually created an entire natural crystal cluster amplification field underground! I said why the subspace labyrinth has been able to operate continuously for nearly a thousand years, and there are so many natural spirits that can be used to create the Void Machine God...... That's why!"

"This place is like a dragon vein furnace......

Anfa was also quite surprised, and she muttered to herself, "My instinct tells me that this is the best place to 'build a nest'...... Theo, you feel that way, right?"

」「......

However, Theo, who had always talked a lot, was silent, and the red-haired dragon girl turned her head with a solemn expression and looked at the other side of the cave: "Something is wrong with this place."

"Did you find out? It's been fortified by a force."

"It must have been reinforced, this kind of natural psionic field is a priceless treasure, it's strange if it is not reinforced, right?"

Ethan didn't quite understand why Theo was so cautious, but Anfa suddenly noticed something after a short period of confusion, and his expression became cautious: "Yes...... I felt it too...... It's been fortified by a force!"

"And...... It's a force we're familiar with!"

Huhu one by one, the dark gold dragon slowly levitated and flew up, under the control of Theo and Anfa, the body of the true dragon flew towards the center of this karst cave, and although Ethan, who was quite puzzled, cooperated with them, he still didn't understand what the two dragons had discovered.

But soon, even he sensed that something was wrong.

- Underneath those crystals...... Why doesn't it seem like ordinary rock or dirt?

One by one, blue-black, gray-silver, containing the breath of a dragon, and rocks with a metallic luster......

"Wait?"

The blonde boy finally sensed that something was wrong: "Is this a steel stone?"

This is indeed a steel stone.

Because, as the dark gold dragon continued to approach the center of the spiritual energy field, another majestic dragon body appeared in front of everyone.

The corpse of the steel dragon god rests peacefully entrenched in countless crystals

Constructed into the center of the dragon's lair, and a large number of dark silver crystals have been

He wrapped his mountain-like body like an egg lying horizontally.

However, it can be seen that there are many wounds on the body of the steel dragon god....... A large amount of flesh was taken.

And those flesh and blood......

Everyone looked up at the cockpit of the 'Dark Gold Dragon' they were in.

"It's the Dark Gold Dragon."

Xi'o let out a long breath, and she said with some emotion, "I really didn't expect that the place where the bones of the Steel Dragon God were buried was actually here!"

"And the ice dragon's nest we saw in the subspace labyrinth earlier is

Ice Dragon's Lair, right? These two seniors, presumably fighting each other, and after confirming that neither side had any life to achieve the final victory, chose to 'visit' each other's treasures, and then naturally waited for death to come......

"I'll just say, the steel dragon god didn't have natural reproductive technology at that time, how did he leave the child!"

"Oh no...... No, it's lucky!"

Just when Theo was finally relieved of his doubts and was happy, Ethan and Anfa were both moved by the towering dragon body like a hill in front of them.

Everyone heard Ian's sigh behind him.

Everyone turned their heads, and they saw the pale young man slowly getting up.

Having just finished building a basic firewall, Ian didn't have time to further refine it.

With a solemn expression, he manipulated the dark gold dragon's eyes to look around, and then said, half worried, half soothing, "Don't you see it yet? These steel stone reinforcement layers formed using the power of the Baisen Dragon God have only been formed in recent years!"

"Anfa, Theo, have you forgotten? The steel stone we got at the beginning is very young, and it has only been produced in the last few years!

"Yes, that's right."

Theo and Anfa nodded slightly, they both remembered that it was Ian who told them the truth behind the steel stone at that time.

"This place is fortified."

And Ian was still controlling the dark gold dragon to look around, and the more he looked, the more solemn Ian became: "The defensive wall of the first layer, the defensive wall of the second layer, and the defensive wall of the 800-meter-thick reinforced rock layer on the third layer...... These are all for the purpose of defending against natural disasters."

"It stands to reason that no matter how powerful a natural disaster is, it can't affect the fourth layer. If it's really a catastrophe of the earth's crust level, there is no point in defending against it."

"But here's the problem...... In that case, then the original owner of this place, "The Last Echo, why should it be reinforced?"

"It must be because of ...... In his expectation, there was some kind of extremely condensed and powerful attack that could break through all the previous defenses and strike this place with precision......" None of the people present were stupid, and when they heard this, everyone slowly showed a frightened expression: Could it be that?! 「」

"That's it!" Ian said solemnly, "In Echo's plan, he estimated that he was likely to suffer an extremely terrifying blow!"

"And this blow can't even withstand the multiple shields of the Xenomorph Research Institute, which can withstand the disaster of the Skyfall!"

"That's why He had to build a strong shield for himself to protect his lair!"

Ian gasped, he sighed and shook his head, "And now,

The answer is already obvious, one by one, the echo is Canaan Moor's half-moon movement

It is a very important part of the plan of the rebellion, and there is only one goal of the Half Moon Rebellion."

"The fifth-level powerhouse, the essence of Campany, the land of dust."

Swallowing his saliva, Ian was quite glad and said, "Speaking of which, how can Campany, the person who once used the soul splitting technique to plot against Inaga not know what the result of his soul splitting being captured by someone is?"

"And when he is entangled by other fifth-level energy levels, the only resistance he can make is to strike through the air, and destroy his captured soul splitter and the captor together!

"This is the danger I foretold! As long as a few of us were hesitant to stay in the third layer or subspace labyrinth at that time, I am afraid that we would be unprepared to eat the blow of the fifth energy level powerhouse!"

Too likely. Because this speculation was so likely, everyone gasped.

"Then let's hide!"

Xi'o jumped up in a hurry, as a true dragon, with the memory of inheritance, she was probably the existence with the deepest experience of the fifth-level power among the people present: "Ian, how long do you think the attack will come? If we still have time, we can dig a little deeper.......

Boom--

The virtual realm suddenly shook, and at this moment, the tired Yi

Eun looked up.

"I'm afraid it's too late." He said, "Here we are." Here it comes.

Above the heavenly dome, in the orbit of the distant stars, and even in the even more distant void, two entangled points of light intertwined, bursting out from time to time with a sun-like light.

It was in this intermingling that a dark gray light like dust suddenly lit up at one of the points of light.

This light was dim and indistinct, but it could take away all the colors of heaven and earth, and with the incomparably powerful subspace fluctuations, the power of the void visible to the naked eye was mobilized, and then condensed into a beam of light, which fell from beyond the heavenly dome.

Therefore, the heavens and the earth were eclipsed.

"Oh no...... We're really drawn into the Elven Civil War!"

Above the surface, the battle had long since gradually stopped, and the fourth-level powerhouses who looked up and watched the battle in the sky changed color, and they watched this 'light' fall at a seemingly slow but rapid speed, and shouted in a loud voice, "Everyone retreat—"

This retreat was actually unnecessary, because they were fighting each other, and those who could retreat had already retreated hundreds of miles away, and even the surrounding cities and villages were pulled away by emergency evacuation, and even the wild beasts were frightened to retreat and rush away, and there were basically no living creatures left around the ruins except for the trees that could not be uprooted.

However, the fourth-level powerhouses themselves did not have the slightest idea of retreating, they tore through the seal set by Yafoda as fast as they could, and then rushed into the ruins, speeding away in the direction of their respective "imprints".

As the most powerful group of fourth-level troops, as long as the fifth-level blow is not directly hit, it will not be able to defeat them if it is only an aftermath, and the most important and elite exploration teams of various countries are still inside, and they must be protected.

Fortunately, most of the members of the exploration team are located in the depths of the ruins, and with the solidity of the Xenomorph Research Institute itself and the protection of the fourth energy level, it is still possible to save a life.

Unless......

"Aina?! Why are you out there?!"

Not long after the Imperial Prince Carlos entered the first layer of the ruins, he saw his bewildered and badly injured son walking on the Accumulation Plain.

This fourth-level powerhouse was terrified of death - Aina was located on the outermost side of the ruins, and without the deep defense of the Xenomorph Research Institute, even his strength might not be able to save Aina's life under the attack of the fifth level!

Not to mention, if he still wants to protect the lives of the rest of the Imperial Exploration Team, he will have to build his own Aether Realm around the Exploration Team for defense...... But at this time, Aina is not around his team, and this wasted time is likely to be the difference between life and death!

"Father?"

Aina was also stunned for a while, and after Mahdi led the people to fight with the master of the labyrinth, and after the main battlefield labyrinth was broken, he was thrown into other labyrinths.

Although under Ian's control, no one fell into the dangerous area, but the transition to use the power beyond his own limit, Aina's state was very weak, and when he slowly walked out of the small labyrinth, the emperor found that he had reached the first level of the labyrinth.

Then, I met my stunned father. There is no time to explain.

Carlos picked up Aina in an instant and began actinization, ready to escape deeper into the ruins...... But the progress of actinization was slower than expected, and the eldest prince quickly figured out that this was because of the trace of activated flame dragon blood in his son's body......

Damn it one by one, it's just to improve Aina's strength, but it turns out to be this unexpected crisis!

At this moment, how could Carlos not understand that this was the 'crisis' that Ian had predicted for him?

It was Japhda, and it was not Yafoda who caused the ...... What can make the fourth energy level die without any struggle is, of course, the attack of the fifth energy level powerhouse!

"Dad, leave me alone, go down and protect the others......

Aina had a brilliant mind, how could he not know the reason for his slow actinic speed? When he used Carlos Psychic Body before, he relied on Mahdi to block in front of him, so that he had time to slowly accumulate power

But now, vaguely sensing the terrible danger above the sky, he quickly made up his mind: "Protect me, we will both die!" But if you go into the depths, Dad, at least Ethan and Ian will still be alive......

"They're so much smarter than you! Are you still worried about a prophet?" Carlos yelled, "I've told you 10,000 times, follow Ian! You won't die if you follow the Prophet, you know?"

"Also, stop screaming! I'm your father, everyone else is dead, and even if I die, I'll protect you!"

The actinization was complete, and Carlos led Aina into the depths - at the speed of light, he reached the perimeter of the third layer of the Scarlet Courtyard in an instant, where the Imperial Explorers had set up camp to defend against the attack of the beasts.

Without the slightest hesitation, after Carlos arrived, he immediately summoned out his etheric true body, the 'Bird of Mirror Light', and the layers of mirror shields seemed to be pouring out hundreds of layers like not being too much, and between the countless mirror stacks, they even vaguely formed a huge field, constructing a 'Ether Domain' that surrounded him......

But it was too late.

Above the sky, a gray point of light descended straight down, and after entering the atmosphere, it turned into a pillar of light that penetrated the sky and the earth, and fell directly above the ruins of the Xenomorph Research Institute.

The dirt, rocks, and woods turned to ashes in an instant, not just heat and explosions, but a rapidly shaking sub

A "phase shock" caused by the friction between space debris and reality.

In this shock, all matter will be changed in form and essence, and an iron rod may turn into a copper ball after phase oscillation, and even the nucleus of the atom, the basis of matter, will be split and coalesced......

In turn, unstoppable energy is released.

A series of miniature artificial suns were born next to the gray pillars of light, sending a shockwave that destroyed the world.

A shorter, but more violent energy than the artificial stars on the World Tree Capital tore through all defenses, and the earth and rocks turned into lava almost instantly, then into a shockwave of golden-red steam, spreading in all directions—and violent earthquakes shattered the surrounding rock formations, sending the earth into a monstrous wave.

This scene is like someone throwing a boulder into the sea, hundreds of meters high lava waves and thousands of meters high golden-red burning clouds splashed up, the landscape around Half Moon Lake was changed in the blink of an eye, a huge crater was slowly forming in the churning, and lightning and storms were blowing towards the surrounding area.

Underground, pure light spreads towards the camp. "Oh my God......

"This is the power of the fifth energy level...... "It's just a god...... We're going to die."

Nearly all of the members of the expedition team closed their eyes, feeling like they were going to die—and if they didn't, they would suffer.

Some people even laughed nervously: "Hey, it feels worth it to die under the attack of the fifth energy level!"

And in addition to this despair, Aina also has a huge self-blame in his heart.

"It's all because of me that my father arrived one step too late and didn't construct a complete Aether Realm shelter....... It's all my fault......

Slowly closing his eyes, Aina lowered his head—he was extremely remorseful and decadent at the moment, because under his leadership, the Imperial Exploration Team had not gained anything worthwhile.

Dragon Crystal, the essence of the gods, the source of dragon blood...... He didn't get any of them, and even the power he was proud of was defeated by Mahdi, even if he used the heart light body given by his father, he didn't defeat the other party, and was even guarded by the other party, picking up a life from the master of the labyrinth.

At this moment, has Mahdi won? Is he alive? Ethan and Ian haven't even returned to the team, and the two geniuses of the Empire are about to die in this quest because of his mistakes......

Is he really, a qualified emperor's eldest grandson?

But at this moment, Aina suddenly heard the voice of his father's soul.

[Aina, don't blame yourself here! You idiot, have you forgotten something?! 】

[We are the Sethar Empire

, and all the forces on this continent have a crucial difference! 】

The attack had arrived, and the blinding blast of light pressed towards the field position that Carlos had constructed, but almost instantly, all of these defenses were pierced by the aftermath of the gray pillar of light.

Silently, hundreds of mirrored shields shattered, and their splashes of light were like rain, evaporating in blazing light and silent phase oscillations, and then ceased to exist.

Without fully unfolding the 'Domain', even Carlos couldn't block the full force of the fifth-level powerhouse, and could only delay the time when he was severely injured and everyone else died...... After three seconds at most, the end of destruction is coming.

【Aina, Remember】

And at this moment, Carlos showed a relaxed smile instead, and his voice continued to sound in Aina's heart: [We are the powerhouses of the Settar Empire, the princes, and the blood of the royal sun god bird! 】

[Hey, now, I'm going to do something that your second uncle will never do!] 】

"Father, what are you going to say?!"
