Chapter 496: Shadow of Fear
"Flash, you have visited and visited now, and you have taken it, is it time to fulfill your promise!"
Brownie, who had turned soy sauce-colored, forcibly suppressed his anger and reminded Chen Qi, who was stunned in front of him, as if he had nothing to do.
Dominique on the side secretly gloated in his heart, it seems that the localists have suffered a big loss this time.
……
"What's the hurry!"
"I'm figuring it out!"
Chen Qi glared at Brownie, who interrupted his thoughts, rather unpleasantly, and the latter's face immediately turned from black to white, and his whole body trembled.
The momentary shift between black and white stunned Dominique on the side.
What happened just now scared Brownie like a grandson.
……
"Steady, steady, don't be afraid, it's a blessing to suffer, don't worry about this hairy boy!"
"The previous loss should be regarded as a reward for the remains of those mutant beasts!"
"I really can't believe that pies fall from the sky these days, and the cheap on the ground shouldn't be picked up indiscriminately."
The trembling brownie kept comforting himself in his heart.
……
Damn, it's horrible!
In the eyes of the Flash just now, it seemed that two little suns were born.
At that moment, Brownie thought he was going to be ignited and wiped out?
It seems that I will really have to control my mouth in the future.
At the end of the day, it's still Brownie's mentality that hasn't changed.
But now, he can't wait to make the Flash a cup of tea and let him think slowly.
……
Chen Qicai didn't bother to care about the changes in Brownie, he was still thinking about the strangeness of the world here.
"This world has psionic powers, and it is related to human civilization."
"Could this be some part of the Outer Ring World?"
"But according to the information I have now, the human civilization in this world was at its peak, and it tried in vain to find the boundaries of the world and search for other intelligent civilizations."
"But they have flown at nearly the speed of light for hundreds of years, and they have never reached the borders of the world."
"That's why there is a legend that as long as you can't exceed the speed of light and fly out of the light cone, you will never be able to reach beyond the world."
"Although I don't know how big the outer ring world is, if this is really a certain area of the outer ring world, it is absolutely impossible to fly at the speed of light for 100 years, and there are no other humans in sight."
……
The more you know, the more you will feel that the world in front of you is full of weirdness and unbelievability.
The reason why Chen Qi felt that this place was related to the outer ring world was because he had seen several special species from the outer ring world from those paleontological fossils.
Those species are recorded in detail in the book given by the god of lights, and it is absolutely impossible to be mistaken.
……
Not only that, but the material structure of this world is no different from the inner ring world where Chen Qi is located.
The composition of the macrocosm is exactly the same.
But if this world really belongs to the realm of human beings.
With its level of science and technology developed to the extreme, how could it be impossible to find the human civilization where Chen Qi is located.
……
That light, cone of light!
Chen Qi thought about it and traced the root of everything back to the creation myth.
The essence of that light is definitely not ordinary natural light.
Perhaps only by knowing what it really is can we fully understand the truth of this world.
……
But in this small place of Xuanguang City, there is definitely no way to know the answer.
Only by going to the Superhero Association, now the center of human civilization, can it be possible to find a clue.
Although Chen Qi has already received the recommended place, he can leave at any time.
But no matter what the reason, before leaving, he had to extinguish the beast tide.
After all, it is Chen Qi who loves human civilization deeply.
……
"Boom!"
"Crackle, crackle!"
Chen Qi, who made a decision, began to increase his aura wildly.
A terrifying thunderbolt spread out of him, like a living thing.
"This, how is this possible?"
"Level 11, no, it's still rising, level 12, level 12 super lifeforms!"
……
In just a few moments, Chen Qi improved his strength to level 12 superheroes.
You can imagine how much impact this scene had on the superheroes around them.
Especially Dominic and Bronny, the two of them are the only level 10 superheroes in the association, and they know how difficult it is to continue to improve.
……
For Dominique and Bronny, level 10 superheroes are already their end.
Their natal genes simply can't withstand the next pollution.
But in full view, under their noses.
The Flash is like drinking water, and he directly rises two levels in a row.
Is this guy really still human?
……
No, He is God, the only hope for humanity today.
After witnessing the way the Flash improved his strength, even the resentful Brownie and the others had infinite admiration for Chen Qi at this time.
Human beings are only full of jealousy of the life that can be recognized by themselves, and when they go beyond cognition, there is only infinite fear and worship.
This is the greatest weakness of human beings, and indeed of all intelligent life, but at the same time, it is also the source of motivation for continuous improvement.
Because in the final analysis, this instinct comes from the soul, from the yearning and pursuit of high latitudes.
……
"I shot this time, and the movement is estimated to be a bit big!"
"Pacify the humans in Xuanguang City, I'll go back as soon as I go!"
Chen Qi, who had completely transformed into silver lightning, casually ordered Dominic.
The latter nodded frequently with great excitement, quite a posture of claiming to be a subordinate, and even honored.
This change was so natural that even the other superheroes around me didn't feel anything wrong.
The strong should rule everything.
……
"Brush!"
The silver lightning disappeared, and in the next moment, Chen Qi had appeared 30 kilometers away.
Incomparably terrifying, Chen Qi's movement speed has reached a hundred times the speed of sound.
And this should not be something that a physical structure like a human being can withstand.
……
Now Chen Qi has completely transformed himself into a magnetic field life.
Even as long as he wants, the speed can be increased infinitely, up to the speed of light.
But the price is that its own life structure is constantly lost, and finally it is completely rainbow.
……
"My fractal diagram has also reached a certain tipping point."
"Once it is fused with the transcendent elements again, the structure of its own life information will be lost in the copy."
"Even this rate of churn will be completely beyond my control and calculation."
"If I plan to stay in this world for a while longer, then my current strength is already at the limit."
Chen Qi walked leisurely in the world that was constantly stuttering, everything in the macro world was slowing down, only his speed was getting faster and faster.
Unfortunately, his speed was still too slow.
……
Compared to the stagnation of everything in the wandering of consciousness, 100 times the speed of sound is still insignificant.
It is a pity that the human civilization in this world is a scientific and technological civilization rooted in the material world.
Otherwise, it would be much easier to transcend the speed of light and transcend the shackles of the light cone with the means of the transcendent world.
……
Just a few seconds later, Chen Qi was already 200 kilometers away.
It has lost the coverage of human civilization, and everything around it is shrouded in savagery.
"Hey, 10 years ago, it was a bustling city!"
"But now, nature has shown humanity its terrible power."
……
After entering this area, Chen Qi's speed began to slow down.
Of course, he was not worried about the danger that might arise, but just wanted to see the end of civilization more clearly.
Between the ruins, the dense vegetation has covered everything.
If it weren't for Chen Qi's extremely keen perception, many ruins would have completely lost the traces of human beings.
This world is actively erasing everything about human beings.
……
"Roar, roar, roar!"
In the wilderness, dense mutant beasts are moving in the same direction.
However, compared to the much larger number of ordinary beasts, the number of mutant beasts is still insignificant.
The so-called beast tide, the main force is not those mutant beasts with superpowers at all.
Billions of ordinary beasts are the biggest threat to humanity.
……
Even though many beasts do not eat people, they can destroy all the resources on which humans depend.
In fact, if there were no powerful mutant beasts, humans could have relied on more ferocious technological weapons to drive these beasts away.
Just as our ancestors once did.
……
But the appearance of mutant beasts has changed all that.
Even the weakest mutants need to use a large-caliber sniper rifle to kill them.
And the mutant beast that has slightly awakened its superpowers is enough to slaughter humans.
……
"It's hard to imagine that civilization will be defeated by barbarism."
"Since the birth of intelligent life, it has always been the living environment for intelligent civilization to seize other non-intelligent life."
"In the face of the plundering of intelligent civilization, nature has no power to resist at all, and can only keep retreating."
"But there is a limit to the expansion of civilization, and nature still occupies an absolute dominance in areas that intelligent life cannot touch."
The various scenes in the wasteland reminded Chen Qi of more.
The struggle between civilization and savagery has been eternal since the birth of intelligent life.
……
"For endless years, countless intelligent civilizations have shone brightly in the night sky, but they have fallen like meteors."
"Maybe a random weed that can be seen on the side of the road, their race has existed for thousands of years."
"And the wisdom civilization that once trampled on them has changed more than a dozen."
"It's a bit sad and ironic to think about!"
"No wonder the Lord of Original Sin has cursed all intelligent civilizations and is still alive and well."
……
Everything he experienced after entering this world had a big impact on Chen Qi.
This shock does not exist at the level of transcendent cognition, but comes from the fear of the soul.
Chen Qi, who has always lived in the inner ring world and enjoyed the glory of human civilization, never thought that human civilization would also die.
But after coming into this world, he saw it with his own eyes.
……
This is Chen Qi's initial feeling.
But as he learned more about the world, so did his perspective.
Eventually, after entering the wilderness, Chen Qi finally realized.
This is not a war between humans and mutants.
It is a struggle between intelligent civilization and nature.
……
In this battle, the intelligent civilization has played an offensive role from beginning to end, and has been winning.
But the latter doesn't have to do anything at all, it just waits, waits for the intelligent civilization to go wrong on its own.
Then the lost territory can be regained, and even the traces of the existence of intelligent civilization can be completely erased.
……
Compared with nature, intelligent civilization is so short and weak.
It was precisely because of seeing this scene with his own eyes that Chen Qi felt the fear that came from the soul level.
After all, the demise of intelligent civilization is essentially the cessation of the soul.
……
Chen Qi carefully felt this fear, but found that it did not only come from himself, but also from the shadow behind him.
Chen Qi glanced at his shadow in disbelief.
After entering this wasteland, his [Soul Shadow] was actually terrified.
"I was tricked before I knew it!"
"No, this effect is not just for me, but for all human beings."
"All humans who step into the wasteland will be affected by the shadow of their souls."
……
"No, no, no, I seem to have misunderstood!"
"The [soul shadow], or soul, of the human beings in this world has always been in fear."
"So I'm going to be affected when I integrate into this world."
"This kind of fear, in Xuanguang City, which is covered by human civilization, may be because of huddling together for warmth, it is not obvious."
"But after entering the wasteland, it was magnified, so I could find out clearly."
Chen Qi, who wanted to understand everything, was even more shocked in his heart, or shocked.
……
Because he suddenly realized a problem, whether the human civilization in this world has the will to be civilized.
If it was the previous era of pure technology, it must not have existed.
Because the birth of the will of civilization requires the action of psionic energy, which is the unique sign of transcendent civilization.
But now that it has been at least 1,000 years since the revival of Reiki, Chen Qi cannot assert that the will of civilization will really not be born.
……
"That's it, it's useless to think about it now!"
"When it comes to the superhero association, you can always figure it out."
"Perhaps my biggest gain in this world is not the specific scientific and technological knowledge, but the current insights."
"If it is put in the era of ancient cultivation, I can be regarded as enlightened!"
Chen Qi retracted his divergent thinking, and by this time he had gone 300 kilometers deep into the wilderness.
Now it's 500 kilometers away from Xuanguang City, and the distance is almost there, so you can let go of your hands and feet.
……
"Eternal Sun!"
At an altitude of 3,000 meters, Chen Qi grabbed the void with his left hand.
Between the lightning and lightning, a magnetic device composed of 36 powerful magnetic rings manifests out of thin air.
But as the magnetic field accelerates, particles collide, and a brilliant ball of light is born from the center of the magnetic ring.
The ball of light grew bigger and bigger, and it swelled more and more, and in the end, a small sun with a diameter of hundreds of meters was held in Chen Qi's hand.
At the moment of the birth of the sun, it was already dusk, but the surrounding 100 kilometers were instantly scorching.
……
"Roar, roar, roar!"
Such a wide range of celestial changes naturally alarmed the mutant beasts with keen perception.
But before these guys could scream for the second time, Chen Qi casually threw the little sun down.
With the fall of the little sun, the magnetic rings continued to crack.
In the end, the glowing little sun completely lost all its restraints and poured its power into the world.
……
Bang!
An even more dazzling white light flashed between heaven and earth, and a hydrogen bomb exploded on the mutant beast's head.
High temperature and high pressure, the shock wave that tears everything apart, comes from the various forces of the material world, and destroys this world to the fullest.
This time, Chen Qi forcibly opened the door of the microscope with the lightning ability that had already stepped into the silver level, releasing the power of nuclear fusion.
Although his current magnetic restraint only lasts for a few seconds, it is enough to use it to litter around.
……
Thundered!
Roar, roar, roar!
The earth is tearing, the sky is shaking, and all life within a radius of 10 kilometers has turned into ashes.
And the scope of this killing is constantly expanding.
If it was in the inner ring world, Chen Qi would definitely not dare to litter everywhere.
He used to be an environmentalist.
But in this world, for the sake of human civilization, he has no hesitation.
……
Chen Qi flipped his wrist, and another small sun was thrown from the sky by him.
The terrifying baptism of light and heat came again, and the earth, which had already suffered two blows, turned into magma in an instant.
Chen Qi was still not satisfied with this, so he casually lost another one.
This time, a certain giant earthworm that had been lurking in the depths of the earth finally couldn't help it.
……
Boom, a giant earthworm with a length of thousands of kilometers leaped out of the magma.
Extremely weird, its body twisted into rings.
In the next moment, everything around Chen Qi began to distort.
……
"Amazing, amazing, it's still a peer!"
"It's just that the ability of the big earthworm seems to be specialized in distorting the material field, and it has even begun to affect the surrounding time and space."
"A level 12 mutant beast is really not to be underestimated!"
Feeling the oppression and distortion of the whole world on him, Chen Qi didn't care.
After all, in terms of material field control, the big earthworm is 108,000 miles away from him!
Chen Qi casually changed his own material field, and then completely fused himself with the surrounding material field.
……
If it is said that the previous distortion of the big earthworm is to use the material field of the surrounding world as a mill, in a vain attempt to crush Chen Qi.
Then Chen Qi is now a part of himself who has also become a grinder.
Unless the twisting power of the Great Earthworm could shatter the microscopic gate and shatter the material field of the surrounding macrocosm, it would not be able to do anything at all.
Obviously, the big earthworm can't do it yet.
……
"Eat me!"
Not fighting back after being beaten has never been Chen Qi's style.
In Chen Qi's eyes, the pupils transformed into countless magnetic rings.
In the next moment, two small suns were focused and ignited, releasing infinite light and heat.
……
"Zizi, zizi!"
Two terrifying lasers shot out of Chen Qi's eyes, continuously cutting through the body of the big earthworm.
But in the blink of an eye, the kilometer-long earthworm has been cut into 1,000 parts by Chen Qi.
But the people began to heal in the next moment, and even had the posture of reuniting.
Chen Qi naturally wouldn't sit idly by, so he casually threw away another little sun.
This time, the big earthworm could no longer hide, and 90% of its body instantly turned into flying ashes.
Only a few small earthworms tried to burrow into the depths of the earth and flee for their lives.
……
"Hehe, before you were huge, vigorous, and proficient in the material field, I can't help you!"
"But now!"
"Twisted!"
Unceremoniously, Chen Qi also colored.
As Chen Qi grabbed it with both hands, the material field in the earth also began to distort and solidify.
The big earthworm that was shuttling in the material field was directly twisted into a twist.
In the next moment, it was caught in the sky by Chen Qi again.
And what awaits it is naturally the scorching and exposure of the sun.
……
Boom Boom!
Dusk, sunset, with the fall of the dusk sunset.
Nine small suns are rising again on the western horizon.
This is what tens of millions of humans in Xuanguang City have seen.
If they hadn't been notified by the Superhero Association in advance, they would have thought that the end of the world had come!
……
But even so, they were deeply shocked by the apocalyptic scene.
The sun that blooms and disappears is like a hydrogen bomb in ancient legends.
But don't say that it's the corresponding technology, even if it's a residual nuclear bomb, it's already invalid!
Now what's going on?
