Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1097 - 418: Supercritical Diffraction Sword_2

Chapter 1097: Chapter 418: Supercritical Diffraction Sword_2

"So what does this phrase ’do not resist’ mean? If it comes from the Dark Civilization, then it has no meaning. Alright, let’s assume this civilization is not so boring, or that it doesn’t rely on a communication logic that’s hard for us to understand, and indeed it has no meaning."

Lin Xian continued to express his thoughts: "But if this information doesn’t come from the Dark Civilization, then this event becomes worth investigating. I believe this must be a very important piece of information. Why? First, this information was blocked by the Heavenly Veil at the South Heavenly Gate; does this imply that the two are not connected? Alright, assuming it’s not the Dark Civilization, then who is this information addressed to? I’ve been thinking for the past two days, there are possibly three scenarios..."

"First, another civilization is speaking to humanity. The logic is strange, and I think the probability is very small. If it is, then it means an even more despairing disaster for us."

"Second, another civilization is speaking to the Dark Civilization. This idea is bold. Why would I say this? Because this communication is through dark matter particles, perhaps the Dark Civilization is more likely to receive this information, and we just happen to have the technology to decode it. If that’s the case, then I think this message is very likely a real deterrent against the Dark Civilization! Because I think, although human civilization is being dimensionally reduced by the Dark Civilization, there are plenty of civilizations in the universe. Surely, there are more advanced ones than the Dark Civilization. If you think about it this way, the Dark Civilization could also be prey. This might even explain why, after Apocalypse Day erupted, part of humanity still survives. Because I think with the power of the Dark Civilization, if they had researched human civilization, since it is a dimensional reduction attack, we would have no chance to resist or struggle, right?"

Chu Yan nodded upon hearing this: "That’s right, we’ve already discussed this on our side. Professor Ye and other leaders have made such judgments."

Ye Lan then said: "The three scenarios you mentioned, we’ve all discussed them before. Actually, we think the first scenario is the simplest and gives us the most hope. Lack of meaning is precisely what is most meaningful. If it’s the second or third, even if there is a higher-level civilization behind the Dark Civilization, it’s just a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. But aren’t we still at the bottom of the food chain?"

"No." Lin Xian said at this time: "The three scenarios I’m talking about do not include this one being initiated by the Dark Civilization."

"Oh?" Ye Lan frowned slightly and looked at Lin Xian: "Then what is the third scenario you are talking about?"

Chu Yan also looked at him curiously.

Lin Xian smiled slightly and said casually: "The third scenario I’m talking about, indeed involves another civilization, and this message is indeed addressed to humanity, but the message is not malicious; it’s benevolent. Do you think there’s such a possibility?"

Chu Yan frowned upon hearing this: "Are you saying that the message not to resist is meant to save us?"

Lin Xian looked at Ye Lan’s calm expression on the opposite side and also felt that this idea was a bit far-fetched. He immediately spread his hands: "Alright, it is indeed too far-fetched..."

"It’s also worth considering." Ye Lan responded: "Currently, we are doing our best to communicate with South Heavenly Gate, trying to obtain more information about these dark matter particles. Lin Xian, it’s also thanks to your plan, otherwise, we wouldn’t have a way to transmit information across the Heavenly Veil now."

Lin Xian shrugged: "Alright, I need to quickly investigate the situation at Sea Rock, so I won’t talk much with you..."

"Lin Xian." Chu Yan called to him: "How is your situation now?"

"It’s still calm now, but tonight should be troublesome." Holy City, Galan Volcano, Sea Floating Island, Underwater Strange Body, Lin Xian briefly explained the situation he encountered after going to sea these past two days.

Chu Yan looked at Lin Xian: "You’re not far from the shore now. If you encounter danger, you can use the Sky Dome Train to fly back to land."

"Let’s see, this Holy City Organization might also have connections with the Foundation. If their target is me, then to some degree, the Sword Holder’s plan is half successful." Lin Xian said.

Ye Lan said softly: "According to what you’re saying, you might not find the connection so quickly. The people from the Foundation haven’t shown up yet, so you better keep that in mind."

"Understood, Professor Ye."

Lin Xian nodded, then gestured to Chu Yan, and took the initiative to disconnect from the consciousness link, returning to the Black Star Forge.

Just as he had returned, the light screen before his eyes suddenly flickered, and the damaged Dreadnought-class starship hull he had placed for automatic sequence devouring in the Black Star Forge was now fully devoured.

[Dreadnought-class starship devoured successfully]

[Devouring successful, Mechanical Source Points +15500, Mechanical Devouring Proficiency +1800]

"A damaged version of the Dreadnought-class gained 15500 points. If it were new, it might be up to twenty thousand. In that case, wouldn’t devouring three would directly advance my Mechanical Heart to Level 7?!"

[Current Mechanical Heart Level LV.6 (22220/50000)]

[Mechanical Awakening]: Mechanical Lord

Mechanical Devouring: 6 (2900/5000) improving devouring efficiency

Mechanical Manufacturing: 6 (1560/5000) improving construction efficiency

Looking at the rapidly increasing Mechanical Source Points within just two days, Lin Xian felt invigorated. This was why he needed to rush to the Polar region quickly. If it weren’t for the fact that many Flying Devices in Dawn City crashed into mere scraps, Lin Xian would have spent time helping Dawn City complete more ’clean-up’ work. It took considerable effort to acquire this damaged Dreadnought-class, and it was also a lot of work to get it out. Now, it seems the effort wasn’t in vain.

Just as Lin Xian was pondering how to acquire more starships for devouring, he suddenly noticed another light screen behind the successful devouring screen. He immediately moved aside the information in front of him, and at this moment, a golden message appeared before him!

[Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Supercritical Diffraction Sword!]

"Holy crap!"

Lin Xian’s pupils contracted sharply, and the light screen in front of him emitted a dazzling golden glow. Not only did he acquire a new skill finally, but this skill turned out to be Legendary!

On par with his Gravitational Lens level!

[Supercritical Diffraction Sword: Single hand guides the Supercritical Constraint Beam, releasing a High-energy Diffraction Sword!]

"Constraint Beam?" Lin Xian looked at his fingertip, murmuring: "No way, handheld space-based weapons?"

Lin Xian couldn’t figure it out; the Dreadnought-class battleship only had an Orbit Shock Star Cannon. How did devouring it result in acquiring a Constraint Beam? This thing belongs to the technology of the South Heavenly Gate and the Hai Bo Long Oriented Constraint Cannon; the logic of the Mechanical Heart’s extension is getting harder for him to understand.

"Never mind... let’s try it and see. This skill is at the Legendary Level, so it definitely consumes energy like the Gravitational Lens."

Setting his thoughts aside, Lin Xian felt KIKI calling him in reality. As he left the Black Star Forge, he took another glance at that Metal Dice. This time he didn’t see it wrong.

The Metal Dice had turned in a different direction, and this time the number had become

On the hillside of the West Coast, Lin Xian had just returned from the consciousness space of the Black Star Forge when he heard KIKI calling him

"Lin Xian, storm’s coming!"

With a whoosh, boom!

The originally clear sky over the island was now filled with gale and shaking vegetation, and the ambient light around had dimmed significantly. The sea breeze suddenly turned sticky, carrying a salty, metallic rusty smell.

In the distance, the sky started to twist, the clouds like being stirred by an invisible hand, shifting rapidly from gray-white to lead gray, then settling into a morbid purple-black. Behind the sea area, the waves no longer followed a natural rhythm but were pulled into irregular, jagged peaks, crashing against the rocks and sounding like bones cracking.

"Something’s not right..." KIKI’s drone footage suddenly shook violently; she stared at the screen with a frown: "This storm is coming too fast, and the pressure changes are too abnormal..."

Before she finished speaking, all the electronic devices simultaneously emitted piercing static noise, and Lin Xian’s power armor Geiger Counter emitted frantic beeping, its needle struck the radiation alarm threshold.

"The storm has radiation?" Lin Xian immediately stood up, looked towards the sky twisted with thunder, his face darkening.

"Quickly put on the mask." KIKI immediately instructed Sha Sha to close the power armor mask, then told Lin Xian: "Lin Xian, should we still go into the city to investigate?"

"No!"

Lin Xian quickly activated his communicator: "Monica, Qian Deli, Sister Ning, all teams return before the storm!"

"Crack..."

At this moment, only static noise came from the communicator.

"Damn, the signal’s messed up!" KIKI said anxiously.

"Retreat first!" Lin Xian turned back towards the dark ocean waves behind, said in a deep voice

"Something... is coming!"
