Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 537 - 21: The Remains of the Late King
Underground base.
The chaos within the Rebel Army lasted for about half an hour before ending.
After all, the initial construction standard for this base was aimed at resisting nuclear bombings, and the upper echelons announced that the Empire’s troops had been detected moving abnormally nearby, so some people quickly returned to their respective posts.
Su Ziyu felt like going outside and having a look.
"Genetic Lock Release." The prompt from the Space-Time Monitor System appeared.
Su Ziyu’s face lit up with joy, as he directly took out the Holy Blood Light Saber, then infused it with his Spiritual Energy to activate it. Accompanied by a buzzing sound, a blood-red Light Blade slowly extended.
"Genetic Lock?" The prompt from the Space-Time Monitor System sounded again.
Su Ziyu pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "Lock."
A faint light flashed by.
The next second, the Holy Blood Light Saber was locked to Su Ziyu’s genetic code, making it unusable by anyone else even if they got hold of it.
Su Ziyu gently swung the Light Saber across the table corner without any obstruction, as easily as cutting tofu, slicing off the steel table corner that was about two centimeters thick. The armor-piercing capability of the Holy Blood Light Saber was exceedingly terrifying, far surpassing any weapon he had used before, and essentially nothing, save for some special substances and energy weapons, could block its Plasma Light Blade.
Coupled with Time Acceleration, even if enemies were wearing Exoskeleton Armor, Su Ziyu could achieve a one-hit kill.
Jian didn’t know where to go for the time being.
Su Ziyu lay down on the bed for a nap before cautiously stepping out.
He wasn’t sure what was going on outside, but he was highly interested in the Level 10 Spiritual Fluctuations. This task Plane was likely challenging to resolve the pollution source, so Su Ziyu’s goal was to acquire more Source Power Value. The Empire’s first Emperor might be a very advanced mutant, and Su Ziyu wanted to supplement his Source Power Value from it.
Given the current planet scarcity of mutants, he had yet to gain any Source Power Value replenishment.
Thinking this, Su Ziyu suddenly saw a prompt from the Space-Time Monitor System:
"Gain 1 point of Source Power Value."
"Gain 2 points of Source Power Value."
"Gain 1 point of Source Power Value."
Three consecutive prompts appeared, and Su Ziyu directly gained 4 points of Source Power Value.
"It’s the little girl." Su Ziyu’s expression carried a hint of surprise and a slightly noticeable worry as he muttered, "Did she go out to hunt mutants again?"
"Three consecutive prompts."
"She must have encountered quite a few enemies this time!..."
The last time, there was only one prompt; this time, there were three consecutive ones, appearing in rapid succession, indicating that the battle ended quickly.
Su Ziyu briefly checked the Space-Time Apostle’s page and, finding no abnormalities, felt significantly relieved.
Before leaving the Wasteland Plane, he had enhanced Su Ying’s Spiritual Energy greatly, and with Pasha’s protection, no major issues should arise, especially since the Exoskeleton Armor squad at the gathering point had been reorganized.
Dealing with standard radiation mutants, just those Exoskeleton Armor units were sufficient.
"No go."
"Gotta find a good set of Space Marine Armor to bring back." Su Ziyu mused privately.
When leaving, he advised Pasha to, as much as possible, prevent the little girl from engaging in combat until he returned. The last time might have been an accident, but this time, it could very well have been her own request.
The gathering spot routinely cleared nearby pollution sources.
——"Mind Teleportation."
Su Ziyu closed his eyes and locked onto a Space Beacon outside the base, one he left when he arrived, to quickly teleport if anything went wrong.
Long-distance Teleportation is not like short-distance folding; the former requires casting time while the latter is instant cast.
A flash of Spiritual Light, and Su Ziyu’s figure disappeared from the room.
——"Invisibility."
Su Ziyu’s figure appeared out of thin air on a hillside several kilometers from the Rebel Army base, then instantly converged his aura and vanished into Invisibility.
At the same time.
Almost the moment Su Ziyu teleported out, the figure roaming near the Rebel Army base suddenly paused.
It turned to look in Su Ziyu’s direction, its skeletal face seemed to show a faint trace of doubt.
"Now!"
A cold female voice issued a command: "Activate sky-based weaponry!"
"Call for orbital strike!"
"All combat units prepare for saturation fire coverage!"
The next second.
A stunning beam of light descended from the sky, a terrifying Energy Beam directly fired from the planet’s satellite orbit. The deep blue beam skimmed across the sky, with a thunderous explosion the moment it touched the ground.
Rumble.
A portion of the mountain above the Rebel Army base was erased, leaving a gigantic crater over three hundred meters in diameter on the ground, with the raised dust reaching over a thousand meters high in the air. The astounding shockwave burst forth, even affecting Su Ziyu, several kilometers away. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
But this was just the beginning.
Almost the instant the sky weapon’s Energy Beam descended, a series of flying devices emerged from optical invisibility in the far-off sky, launching hundreds of missiles adorned with ghostly blue electromagnetic glows directly toward the Energy Beam’s target location. Below these flying devices, hundreds of armored units resembling tanks raised their dark cannon barrels, with flickering electromagnetic glows flashing at the muzzle, followed by electromagnetic cannon shells launched to saturate fire cover that area.
"It’s the Empire’s army!"
"Have they made a move?" Su Ziyu deployed a Spiritual Protection Field.
As he speculated on the situation over there, suddenly a prompt from the Space-Time Monitor System appeared:
"Alert! Alert!"
"Abnormal Spiritual Fluctuation detected!... Abnormal mutant detected!... Target highly suspected to be [Ancient Abomination]!..."
"Alert! Alert!"
"[Ancient Abomination] detected!... Target extremely dangerous!... Target extremely dangerous!..."
Blood-red alerts exploded directly in Su Ziyu’s mind.
It was the first time he had seen such distinct blood-red alerts from the Space-Time Monitor System, and as he considered what exactly the Ancient Abomination might be, sudden, extraordinary changes occurred in the distant sky.
Missiles soaring at high speeds suddenly halted in midair, then reversed direction towards the Empire’s armored force.
"Detonate!"
"Detonate immediately!" An anxious female voice transmitted through the communicator.
In the central bombardment region, visible dust spread outward in all directions, leaving a central vacuum area protected by a ghostly blue barrier. A skeletal figure slowly raised its head, adjusted the crown atop its head, and then rapidly flashed across a distance of ten thousand meters, reaching out a hand to grasp one of the flying devices.
The withered hand flicked.
The flying device suddenly lost control, like a puppet, and crashed towards another aircraft.
"Scanning gravity anomaly!..."
"Alert! Alert!"
"Gravitational distortion detected in nearby area!... Chaos Force Field detected!... High-intensity psychic whispers detected!... Target area exhibiting entropy value anomaly!..."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Aircraft plummeted from the skies, as the explosive flames resembled brilliant blooming fireworks.
