Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 1276 - 1274: Just Kill Them

"Five?" The Silver Armor Commander spoke, somewhat surprised, "So you’re saying Number Five succeeded as well?"

"More or less." Long Shu replied, "Actually, if things go smoothly, Number Six should also start soon. However, that has nothing to do with the current mission, it’s best that everyone keeps focused on the task at hand.

After all, to be honest, even if Number Five and Six succeed, they won’t have much effect in the short term. You all should have realized by now that only through integration and training can you unleash your combat power, otherwise there’s not much difference from an ordinary army."

"Hmm." The commanders of the four teams nodded slightly in agreement.

"So, this mission is also a test to verify whether you can achieve the initial goals. Please make the effort." Long Shu said solemnly.

"Bang!"

The commanders of the four teams stood in a solemn posture upon hearing this, pounding their chests with their right fists in a standard military salute.

"Move out!" Long Shu commanded.

"Swoosh!"

Leading the four teams, Long Shu marched swiftly in a specific direction.

...

...

A day later.

Somewhere in the world, darkness prevailed.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, lightning appeared in the sky, a thunderous roar echoing, illuminating the barren land below in a fleeting flash; a vast, desolate wasteland.

The wasteland was strewn with stones and coarse sand, its soil poor and extremely arid, riddled with cracks.

"Boom! Boom!"

More lightning flashed, as clouds collided overhead, pouring rain across the land amid the thunder’s rumble.

The earth greedily absorbed the rainwater, dormant seeds grabbing the opportunity to root, sprout, bloom, and bear fruit. In almost one night, a lush green miracle spread across the land.

But when daylight broke, as the Sun rose in the east, a surge of heat poured down, like a convex lens focusing beams of light. The green plants, upon contact with sunlight, instantly withered and dried. In some cases, flames ignited on the surface of green leaves, reducing them to ashes within seconds.

Fortunately, the specially structured seeds had already buried themselves deep in the soil, awaiting the next rainfall for another cycle of growth.

All this was precisely the Conscious World of the Dead Sea—using slumber to repair his body. In this world, lightning and rain represented Energy for repair, which in due course could bring vegetation back to the land, restoring him to health.

Nevertheless, a mysterious, persistent erosive Energy represented by the Sun continually disrupted his recovery, making every repair collapse shortly afterward, slowing progress to a crawl. What should have been a decisive battle inexplicably turned into a war of attrition, leaving him with no option but to slowly endure.

He could tell that the Sun-represented erosive Energy was gradually weakening; given enough time, he would eventually recover completely.

Yes, he would recover completely one day!

The Dead Sea continued its slumbering efforts.

In the Conscious World, an indeterminate time later, amid new nighttime echoes of "Boom, boom," lightning reappeared, falling rain enriching the land.

This time the rain was plentiful, causing green plants to spread expansively, forming a sea of green without borders.

However, this beauty was short-lived; as soon as the rain stopped and the new day dawned, the Sun rose again from the east.

Yet, after several rounds of devastation, the plants had learned from experience and shed water before being scorched by the Sun, transforming into wood-like entities, their surfaces encased by stone-like exteriors to avoid ignition.

Such actions were akin to self-mutilation, incurring substantial loss, yet managing to preserve more life for the next explosion of growth.

However, events didn’t unfold as expected.

Upon rising from the east, the Sun didn’t behave as usual in moving westward but gradually swelled, appearing larger than normal.

To their surprise, a second Sun suddenly emerged from behind the first.

It turned out they were two Suns overlapping.

Next, a third Sun rose from behind the second.

Three Suns in the sky!

This was just the beginning; subsequently, a fourth Sun, fifth Sun rose one after another, until ultimately, nine Suns hung in the sky.

Nine Suns in the world!

In an instant, every bit of moisture on the ground boiled away, transpired, leaving the surface crisscrossed with gaping cracks.

The plants that had voluntarily shed water, their stony exteriors melted instantly, and the lignified stems within instantly turned into Fireballs, burning to nothing.

The ground became unprecedentedly searing, thrusting the world to the brink of collapse.

What was happening?

The Conscious World’s Dead Sea was astonished, failing to grasp why the erosive Energy had suddenly surged so dramatically.

Then, the nine Suns in the sky shattered in succession, as the space trembled violently and broke apart, forcibly pulling Dead Sea out of his slumber.

Awakened, the Dead Sea opened his eyes in the Iron Coffin, discovering it was shaking violently with cutting sounds, as if someone was trying to force it open.

This act disrupted the balance of his long-awaited recovery from injuries, causing the previously controlled erosive Energy to spiral out of control, manifesting the unprecedented Nine Suns phenomenon.

What on earth was going on?

Due to the unruly erosive Energy, the Dead Sea was weak and furious, unaware of who had disturbed him.

As far as he knew, besides a few Truth Society Colorful Rings, only Bi Bi was aware of his location.

Could it be that Bi Bi’s investigation yielded results, and she rushed back to report?

That’s ridiculous; couldn’t she wait? Didn’t she know how much this would affect him?

Frowning deeply, the Dead Sea labored to channel the limited Energy within, pouring it into the top of the Iron Coffin. With a swoosh, it opened actively, and he sat up, scolding crossly, "Bi Bi, stop it!"

Yet instead of the expected Bi Bi, what he saw was a room full of people—people wearing four different colored Armors.

Four commander-like figures stood around the Iron Coffin, with a man in brown clothes, thick brows, and big eyes pointing at him muttering, "Hey, I think I’ve seen this person somewhere before..."

The Dead Sea was stupefied; the reality gap was too vast to process immediately.

The occupants of the room were also taken aback; however, though not as anticipated, it wasn’t tremendously different, so they reacted more swiftly.

In the next instant, the Dead Sea witnessed blinding lights erupting from the Armors around the Iron Coffin, as countless Suns rose within the room.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

In the explosive sound, light devoured everything.

The Dead Sea, dead!

At the precise moment of the Dead Sea’s demise, invisible ripples emanated outward, spreading rapidly through soil, air, and any medium existing.
