Chapter 68: The Final Trump Card Reviving Spiritual Energy with the Power of the World

At this moment, the corners of Bai Ze's mouth subtly lifted.

"An enemy that's impossible to defeat?"

"I don't understand such a concept," he said, raising his head, his face radiating with confidence.

When spiritual energy revival reaches its peak, plants will overrun the entire planet and extend into the universe, launching indiscriminate attacks.

"In other words, not only my creatures but also you will be targeted, isn't that right?"

The revival of spiritual energy was Bai Ze's final trump card.

Since this was a simulated war, where even the destruction of planets would cause no real harm, he dared to take such a bold approach.

Unexpectedly, this gamble had proven useful in the end!

Outside the simulation, the creators and students were already leaping with excitement, their reactions bordering on madness.

"Plants! Those green things they're all plants!"

"But how did Bai Ze's world suddenly become overrun with so many plants?!"

Previously, all eyes had been focused on the battleground between the mechanical planet and Bai Ze's forces.

No one had noticed the rapid, wild growth of plants within Bai Ze's world until it had nearly engulfed the entire planet!

"Wait, something's not right!"

"The real question is, how are these plants breaking through the world's barriers and reaching space? Aren't they affected by cosmic radiation?"

"And look, those dense plants are advancing toward the Endbringer!"

In Suling Province, inside various Genesis Towers across all districts, countless creators and eliminated students stared wide-eyed at the scene, terrified of missing a single detail.

Even the instructors in the preparation room were visibly shaken, some of them standing up in disbelief.

Pondé, the Star Artificer, was especially stunned, his mouth forming a perfect "O."

"What are these plants? Bai Ze's planet is filled, and his creatures have been crushed to death by them."

"And yet, those plants are attacking the Endbringer!"

The largest screen in the province zoomed out for a grand cosmic view, capturing the clash between the two planets.

Countless vines, branches, and wooden tendrils surged from Bai Ze's planet, flooding toward the mechanical world in a relentless wave.

Sensing the danger, the mechanical planet unleashed tens of thousands of missiles in an all-out effort to obliterate the advancing plants.

But it was useless utterly useless!

"What are these plants? Their regenerative capabilities are terrifying!"

"They're getting blown apart, only to regrow instantly several times over. How is this even possible?!"

"It's unstoppable, completely unstoppable! Is this all Bai Ze's doing?"

The students were so shocked their teeth chattered, their eyes filled with awe.

The plants kept advancing. With the overwhelming revival of spiritual energy, their growth far outpaced the destructive capabilities of the enemy.

Eventually, the plants reached the mechanical planet, coiling around it layer by layer until the Endbringer was completely entangled and immobilized.

Bai Ze gazed at the sky, now obscured by the massive wave of greenery, his smile growing broader.

The ultimate apocalypse triggered by the ten-thousandfold revival of spiritual energy was his final gamble, pouring every ounce of his world's power into a do-or-die effort.

Failure was not an option.

Outside, Pondé's expression darkened as he realized that the plants were all Bai Ze's handiwork.

Grinding his teeth, he muttered, "A cheap trick. Does he think this can stop my Endbringer? Not a chance!"

With a single command, every system in the colossal Endbringer activated to its fullest capacity, unleashing a devastating barrage.

Missiles, laser beams, cannon fire, and energy blasts erupted from the mechanical planet, flooding the battlefield with an apocalyptic glow.

The sheer destructive force was enough to bathe the universe in red and green, lighting up the dark expanse of space in a grand, breathtaking display.

Yet, against the relentless growth of the plants driven by the ten-thousandfold revival of spiritual energy, it was futile.

The plants pressed on, blotting out the heavens and consuming the moon and sun, steadily infiltrating the mechanical planet.

They wrapped around the Endbringer tighter and tighter, causing its mechanical shell to groan under the pressure. It seemed only a matter of time before it would collapse entirely.

"Ha! Hahaha!"

At this moment, Instructor Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh aloud.

Turning toward Pondé, her face was filled with relief.

"Well, Star Artificer Pondé?"

"I told you, until the very last moment, no one can predict the outcome!"

"These plants, which have covered both planets, are entirely Bai Ze's doing. Your Endbringer is thoroughly ensnared!"

"This time, it's over!"

Pondé's face turned grim as he rushed to the large screen.

He could see the plants continuing to multiply, their grip tightening.

The pressure was causing the Endbringer's exterior to crack. It was only a matter of time before it exploded from the overwhelming force.

"Hmph! Instructor Zhou Qing, have you forgotten something in your excitement?" Pondé growled, his voice heavy with frustration.

"Bai Ze's creatures are also on the mechanical planet!"

"If the mechanical planet is destroyed, they'll die too. He won't win at best, it'll be a draw!"

Instructor Zhou Qing shook her head calmly.

"Star Artificer Pondé, are you forgetting the simulation's rules?"

"The rules state that whichever side loses all its forces first is declared the loser."

"If the Endbringer perishes before Bai Ze's creatures, then Bai Ze wins!"

Instructor Zhou Qing's words were firm.

Outside, cheers, roars, and jubilation erupted.

Throughout Suling Province, creators in every city and district celebrated.

The ultimate boss was about to fall, and the province's undefeated legend was on the brink of being shattered.

They were all witnesses to this historic moment.

"Impossible!" Pondé shouted in defiance.

"My planet cannot be defeated by a mere novice! I refuse to believe it!"

He clenched his fist, his face twisting in frustration.

But then his gaze turned sinister.

"This kid wants mutual destruction?"

"Fine! I'll grant his wish! After all, I've kept a final trump card hidden on the mechanical planet!"

"And that is... the self-destruct system!"

Pondé's booming declaration left the preparation room in stunned silence.

Instructor Zhou Qing's face paled in shock as she stared at Pondé.

A self-destruct system?

The pinnacle of a commander-level, near-sovereign creature, equipped with a self-destruct mechanism?

Was Pondé out of his mind?

For a mere student test, was such extremity necessary?

"Moreover, this self-destruct system is triggered automatically when the Endbringer is critically damaged it will detonate instantly!"

"Everything around it will be obliterated!"

Pondé's tone grew manic, his expression increasingly unhinged.

Undoubtedly, a self-detonation at this scale could unleash destruction on par with mid- to high-level sovereign creatures.

In such an explosion, Bai Ze's forces wouldn't stand a chance.

Would this epic clash end in mutual destruction after all?

Instructor Zhou Qing felt a pang of regret, and so did Bai Ze.
