Chapters [387-388]

Chapter 387. Just Came In to Have a Casual Glance

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

After knowing their families could be saved, Jian Wen and Chris didn't feel so tormented like before. They quickly nodded and expressed their willingness to help. It was just a small contribution, but they wanted to make up for their own actions.

Upon seeing Jian Wen and Chris nod, the two middle-aged men walked out from the defense force. They came up to the two professors and started investigating the box that contained the bomb.

Upon seeing the professors attempt to dismantle the bomb, Lin Ling turned to look at Ling Dongyu and the others. She then spoke. "Ze said this bomb is the product of advanced civilizations. We might not necessarily be able to defuse it. We need to prepare."

Ling Dongyu nodded after thinking about it. He beckoned a soldier over and said, "Prepare a drone ship and set the target for the uninhabited Solar System at the south of Gracious System. Worst comes to worst, just bring this outside of the System."

A month ago, the entire Xigui System was mostly destroyed due to this. They didn't want their own System to end up like that.

Following a moment of silence, Ling Dongyu spoke. "Send a scout ship to the target location and prepare. If wormholes really appear, keep watch of every Void Beast that comes out of it to ensure removal."

This was all they could do. To be honest, this solution could only bring some mental comfort. After all, the Planetary State Void Beast had a Space Jumping Ability. How could ordinary ships follow it?

The best situation was to defuse the bomb right now.

Lu Ze, who was also watching in the surveillance room, had the same sentiments. It would be best if the bomb could be dismantled. However, since he was not a scientist, he could only watch the big bosses operate.

One minute…

Two minutes…

Three minutes…

Soon, ten minutes had already passed. Chris, Jian Wen, and the two specialists were sweating profusely at the moment.

However, Lu Ze and the rest were rendered speechless. Even after using all sorts of sophisticated equipment, the outer metal box didn't even budge. At this point, how will they manage to figure out the order-weakening space bomb inside?

They don't even know what it looked like.

The defense force, Lu Ze, and Lin Ling couldn't help but rub their foreheads.

On one side, Bazer couldn't resist asking, "Can you guys do it or not?"

A long period of time had passed. Even though Lu Ze was watching the surveillance room, he couldn't control it for a long time.

Moreover, Lin Ling had relayed that they had been stationary for ten minutes. Who knows if that Lord of Eternal Life would be suspicious?

The two weapons specialists smiled bitterly and shook their heads. "The outer box is one entire object. The level of its toughness is at the Planetary State. If we want to open it, we need a mass scale slicing device, but we wouldn't know if the thing inside would activate."

One needed to cut the outer box to take out the bomb.

The temperature definitely wouldn't be low when cutting, and the energy wouldn't be weak. Who knew if it would cause the device to activate?

Everyone: "…"

This…

Wasn't it just a bomb?

Did they need to package it this well?!

At this moment, the surveillance room suddenly opened, and Bobby walked in with a pale face. Although he was prepared, his heart still skipped when he saw the scene on the screen.

Thereafter, he spoke with a somewhat crying expression. "I've put them in one room."

While speaking, he swiped his phone, and a 3D holographic map of the base appeared. Each room was marked. He pointed at the tunnel to the right of the lobby and at a room in the corner of the tunnel. "It's this room."

Lu Ze smiled at Bobby and patted his shoulder. "Thank you, pal!"

This guy had cooperated so well. Lu Ze almost didn't want to do anything to him.

Bobby's heart beat wildly when Lu Ze patted him on the back. He was about to cry.

The problem right now was that Jian Wen and Chris had attempted to defuse the bomb. If this continued, would the master find out?

He felt he was on the border of death. If he had to describe what he was feeling at this time, he would say he felt regretful. This surveillance mission was very heavily rewarded. He was close to Liu Tianyu, and Liu Tianyu was favored by the palace lord. That was why he got this opportunity.

He felt great when he got this mission, but thinking about it now, he seemed too naive.

While Bobby was contemplating, Lu Ze sent a message to Lin Ling. "There is no time. If there is no hope of defusing it, use the backup plan."

Until now, the metal box couldn't even be opened.

Defusing the order-weakening space bomb at this point would be hopeless.

Lin Ling was taken aback when she saw the message. Thereafter, she asked Ling Dongyu and others, "Can it be defused?"

Ling Dongyu's expression was bad. He felt helpless. Of course, he wasn't a professional in this matter, so he had to ask the specialists.

While thinking about this, he looked at the four people sweating profusely.

The two masters shook their heads.

The atmosphere turned silent.

Suddenly, Jian Wen recalled something and said, "Last time, when Chris and I were testing in the Gula System, we discovered that this bomb would directly distort the space to open up a wormhole. There is a duration for this."

"What if we let the spaceship enter the warp dimension while the bomb is about to activate? What would happen."

After hearing this, everyone could not help but feel stunned.

The Warp dimension was a completely chaotic space. If they did that, this bomb shouldn't be able to open up a wormhole properly, right?

The two weapon masters glanced at each other. This suggestion seemed feasible?

Back in the surveillance room, Lu Ze felt dazed due to the suggestion. He hadn't considered this solution either. Although they didn't know how successful it would be, it was better than leaving the box unopened.

At this moment, the door of the surveillance room opened once more.

A serious-looking middle-aged man walked inside and said, "Master said that those two old guys have been in the space station for a while. Did something happen… what is this?".

The middle-aged man looked toward the screen while he spoke. He could see a few people doing something indescribable to the box. He was completely confused.

Lu Ze silently pressed the send button on his phone emergency situation.

Upon noticing the scene, the middle-aged man looked at Bobby and Lu Ze with extremely cold eyes. "Liu Tianyu, Bobby, what do you have to say?"

At the same time, his level five spirit force at the Mortal Evolution State rushed to pressure the two people. Bobby was already scared.

With this pressure and his guilty conscience, he couldn't even speak while his body trembled. But…

A gleam of hope suddenly flashed in his eyes. He looked toward Lu Ze.

Since he dared to come in, it meant that he was confident he could take on the palace lord. Maybe he could still be saved?

At this moment, Lu Ze grinned and waved his hand at the middle-aged man. "Greetings, palace lord Leo."

Bobby: "…"

His mouth twitched when he looked at how Lu Ze was laughing. This guy didn't seem so reliable.

Nevertheless, upon seeing how calm Lu Ze was, Bobby felt more relaxed. He could still be saved.

Leo felt stunned after seeing Liu Tianyu's actions. Was he retarded?

But when he thought of the current situation, he didn't have enough time to dig deeper into it.

With a chilling voice, he asked again, "Liu Tianyu! What is this situation??"

Lu Ze smiled. "I'll confess, Bobby brought me in. I just came to have a glance. I'll leave immediately."

Bobby: "???"

What did this mean?

This guy clearly forced him to.

Moreover, he said he was going to leave?

How?

Leo felt dumbfounded as well. After all, Lu Ze still looked like Liu Tianyu.

Feeling overwhelmed, he couldn't react fast enough to this strange behavior.

Just as Leo regained his senses, he found that silver light flickered across the entire body of Lu Ze. Thereafter, Lu Ze's body disappeared from the surveillance room.

Bobby: "???"

Leo: "???"

Both of them were confused when they looked at the empty spot where Lu Ze was.

Where did he go?

However, Leo soon recovered.

He turned to look at the dazed Bobby with intense killing intent. "Guardian Bobby! Who is that person! What is going on?"

Bobby: "…"

He brought the person in by himself, but he was discovered by the palace lord.

Was there still hope for him?

He looked lifelessly at the palace lord and answered shakily, "It's… it's Lu Ze…"

"Lu Ze?!"

Leo's eyes widened.

Subsequently, he immediately thought of something. "Not good!!"

When he turned to look at the screen, he discovered that it was already destroyed. His expression changed drastically.

Just now, due to Lu Ze's strange actions, he ended up forgetting his priorities. He quickly pressed the emergency button and informed the Lord of Eternal Life of the problem.

Chapter 388. No Time to Explain

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

On the mothership of the blade demon race, the handsome Lord of Eternal Life, Frudenand, was discussing the battle situation with blade demon general, Kakaroya. After accepting the mission of assassinating Lieutenant General Yuejing, the two got along quite happily.

At this moment, his face froze. He looked at his communicator.

When he saw the message, his face instantly turned green.

With a hoarse voice, Kakaroya asked, "What is wrong? What is the problem?"

Frudenand's face remained stiff. He then gritted his teeth. "The order-weakening space bomb has been discovered!"

Kakaroya's red eyes flashed when he heard this. He spoke with a low voice. "You promised."

Frudenand's expression turned ugly. He said, "If the mission to destroy Ena System fails, then you only need to give me 10 Planet Forging fruits and to let me remain in the blade demon race for 50 years in exchange for helping you kill Yuejing."

Upon hearing the words, Kakaroya fell silent for a moment and slowly spoke. "In that case, let's prepare to attack now."

The unsightly expression on Frudenand's face remained as he nodded and pressed the button in his hands. Damn it!

A bunch of useless people!

They couldn't even get such a simple thing done!

At the space station, outside Xingzhan City, Lin Ling received an urgent message from Lu Ze. This meant that they were exposed.

At this moment, the two weapons specialists had already placed the bomb in a drone. They were just waiting for the bomb to leave.

Right after, one soldier, who was holding the device, roared, "Be careful! The space around the bomb is showing signs of distortion. I suspect the order-weakening space bomb has been activated!"

Ling Dongyu's expression changed.

Accordingly, he immediately commanded, "Enter the warp travel as quickly as possible. Don't worry about any consumption of the ship!"

The ship didn't have the prerequisite speed to enter the warp tunnel directly.

The energy required will increase several times, but the bomb had been activated already. Right now, there wasn't enough time to care about these details.

Rumble!!

After a roaring sound, the drone shot up a few thousand meters in the air, and then, under the dazzling and distorted white light, it disappeared right before them. Everyone looked at the place where the ship disappeared.

The space turned calm, and everything appeared to be normal.

Five seconds…

Ten seconds…

Twenty seconds…

Half a minute later, everyone couldn't help but breathe out a sigh of relief. This time should be enough for the ship to leave the Solar System in the warp dimension.

If the order-weakening space bomb couldn't fully activate in the warp tunnel, rendering it invalid, then this would be the best outcome.

Rumble!!

Just when everyone felt relieved, the space suddenly shook violently.

A thunderous muffled sound rang out.

The shockwave traveled tens of thousands of kilometers.

Simultaneously, the ground trembled.

In the city within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, all the people, who were either fast asleep or still in high spirits, were assaulted by the resounding noise.

Several people walked outside and looked at the sky.

"What happened?"

"I don't know. What was that explosion?"

"Is it another terrorist attack? How many times has it been? Can't the defense force people step up their game?"

"Quick! Look! What is that??"

At this moment, tens of thousands of meters in the sky, a deep black wormhole slowly emerged.

A powerful and incomparable chi poured out from this. It was as though doomsday had come upon them.

"Natural… wormhole! I've seen this before! I've seen it on the clips from Xigui System!"

"Oh shit! Are Void Beasts going to come here?!"

Terror swept across everyone immediately

At the station, Jian Wen and Chris looked at the gradual appearance of the wormhole.

A petrifying feeling overflowed inside them.

Subsequently, their faces turned extremely pale.

In the end, they might not have brought the bomb to Ena System, but it was still activated…

This was all their fault..

Lin Ling frowned, and her chi became sharp. Her long spear appeared in her hands.

On the other hand, Ling Dongyu could only grit his teeth and roar, "Notify all the brothers to come! Tell the police to help escort the citizens to safety!"

At the same time, his powerful chi at Level four of the Mortal Evolution State gushed out. Soon, his body was already floating in the air.

Bazer grinned. "Fuck! What's to come still came!"

A white-haired old man pulled out a long sword. Following this, a chi at level two of the Mortal Evolution State surged. He grinned. "It's fine. I've lived long enough already."

The golden-haired woman on the side stiffened.

Feeling speechless, she opened her mouth and said, "I'm still young! Old Yang, how about you charge in front?"

"Piss off!"

At this moment, the expansion of the wormhole suddenly halted. Thereafter, it stopped expanding and its border gradually became unstable.

At the end of the wormhole, there were violent powerful roars that could be heard. Even if only a trace of chi made it out of the wormhole, everyone present could not help but shiver. This was definitely a Planetary State Void Beast!

However, although the beast was roaring, it didn't proceed to come over.

With its roar, the wormhole vibrated. Right after, the hole was about to close.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.

Ling Dongyu laughed out loudly. "Hahahahahah… there's still some effectiveness! At least, Planetary State Void Beast can't come over!"

On the other hand, Bazer grinned. "It would be best if those beasts overstuff the wormhole and blow it up!"

Old Yang then said, "Why do I feel like it might let its underlings come instead?"

As soon as old Yang's voice fell, the roaring sounds from the wormhole stopped, and a powerful chi seeped out. Afterward, a thousand-meter-long Void Beast with a white bone armor, who had a hideous appearance, snuck out from the wormhole.

Its powerful Mortal Evolution State chi surged, shaking away the clouds in the sky. It let out a terrifying roar after raising its head and opening its mouth, which was filled with sharp teeth. Everyone turned over and looked at old Yang silently, making him feel quite awkward.

The golden-haired woman said, "Crow's mouth!"

At this time, Ling Dongyu roared, "Get ready for battle! Shift the battlefield away from the populated regions!!"

Then, he charged up, and a few kilometers long green sword ray sliced across the night sky.

The sword ray cut through the void beast, leaving a deep wound on its armor. Gray mist and blood gushed out, landing on the Xingzhan Plains, which eroded the grass and stones.

After being attacked, the Void Beast immediately looked at Ling Dongyu in the distance with vicious eyes and snarled after him.

Following this, several thousand-meter-long Void Beasts, who all had powerful chi, charged out of the wormhole. These beasts raised their heads and let out a roar. Along with this, a domineering chi swept across the entire land and sky.

Subsequently, smaller Void Beasts also followed out of the wormhole.

Lin Ling clicked her ring and a white armor covered her body.

With a keen sight, she charged toward the sky with her spear. Bazer, old Yang, and Angelie were next to her.

The battle had begun.

Meanwhile, in the secret base of the Eternal Life Palace, Lu Ze used [Space Jump] to disappear from the surveillance room and reappear in the place where the family of Jian Wen and Chris were imprisoned, as pointed out by Bobby earlier.

He saw four people in the corner watching him vigilantly. There were two mature pretty women, and there was a very cute-looking girl with a nice figure, as well as a young man.

Lu Ze had seen them in the video. It was them. At this moment, the young man stood before the three girls, but there was still some fear evident in his eyes. After all, they were still held captive, and Lu Ze still retained the appearance of Liu Tianyu.

Lu Ze could not help but smile at this scene. This kid was not bad. He was protecting the girls. He smiled once more and spoke. "There is no time to explain… let's leave here first."

Thereafter, the youth was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. He was just about to speak when Lu Ze's [Wind God Art] surged.

All four people were blinded. Right now, he was under a tight spot. He didn't know whether the wormhole appeared or not.

The bomb was probably activated. He would have to quickly take them away and take care of all the Eternal Life Palace members here and go back once more to take a look.

While thinking about this, Lu Ze used space god art.

A silver light wrapped around the four people. Subsequently, after a flash of silver light, everyone disappeared.

Not long after Lu Ze and the others disappeared, the door to the room was opened.

Leo and another powerful brown-haired middle-aged man rushed into the room.

The pale-looking Bobby was dragged across the floor by Leo.

Upon discovering the empty room, the two suddenly roared in anger. Following this, a miserable voice echoed throughout the base. In an area thousands of kilometers away from the mountain range, a silver light flashed, which then turned into five human figures.

Lu Ze withdrew his [Space God Art] and [Wind God Art]. His face was a bit pale as he panted. There will be a fight later.

In order to prevent them from getting hurt, Lu Ze had to take them to a farther location. This time, he used all his energy to [Space Jumping] directly over a distance of thousands of kilometers.

The four, who had just been released from their imprisonment, looked around and wondered whether they were dreaming. After a moment of silence, Chris' daughter said in disbelief, "We… We are out? Are we saved?"
