Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 601: 601
 

The Law of Smoke Without Wounds

The God of Star Palace opened his arms.

The ground shook slightly, and a terrifying roar came from the deep well, approaching from afar.

In a small town a few hundred meters away from Baixing Square, Kant saw the strange scene through the real-time transmission of the camera images. When he was setting up the bomb, he had also set up a few cameras and transmitted the images to the storage device in real time. He was prepared to take a full picture of this stupid face before it was blown up.

But now, something unexpected had happened.

What did he want to do?

“Father! The Destruction Squadron is interrogating the criminal. The key word is blood sacrifice!”

“You must make a decision immediately!” Horus said urgently.

Kant reached out and opened the Realm Gate.” Get them ready!” he said sternly. Fifteen seconds!”

In the square on the large platform, the air defense alarm blared wildly, and Horus ‘voice filled the sky. Prepare to face the impact! A large bomb is about to detonate in the belly of the mountain!”

As expected of an elite spellcaster and military officer of the Arcane Magic Council, the Son of Typhoon immediately understood and ordered,” Magic core switch to buried hill mode! Defend against the impending earthquake! Strength reference, Battlefield Level Combined Magic Star Shaking! Immediately infuse!”

Inside the mountain, Kant and Ah Xing hid in the world of white fog.

At this point, he gave up on any thoughts of continuing to communicate with the other party.

This was because the attitude of the enemy from beyond the heavens was already very clear.

No matter what, he would never surrender. He knew the Fire Stealer and what kind of power the Fire Stealer possessed. He did not want to fall into Kant’s hands.

Therefore, he would rather choose a choice that was not so good.

Then…

“Detonate!”

The Realm Gate instantly closed, and the control center of the large platform base issued the detonation command.

The enemy from beyond the heavens in the Baixing Square spread his arms and waited for his fate to arrive. He heard the rumbling sound approaching until countless black tentacles shot out from the huge well, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. At first, they were afraid, but then, as if they had received permission, they waved their hunting organs greedily and surrounded him.

At this moment, the corner of his eyes lit up.

Violent explosions sounded almost at the same time. A huge amount of fuel was instantly vaporized and spread in all directions under the push of the shock wave. The second explosion followed, and the violent chemical reaction instantly sucked all the oxygen in the area of the Baixing Square. The scorching heat and the terrifying shock wave tore apart everything left in the square. Thick smoke rolled and spewed. A violent hurricane was set off in the underground square, and the waves of air roared and poured out along the several passages of the square. It spread to the outside world unscrupulously!

The violent tremors shook the main mountain range of the central island with the explosion point as the center. The violent wind pressure was rampant, destroying all the buildings, houses, buildings, and stables in this exquisite underground world. All of them collapsed and tore apart in the violent wind and fire. This incomparably terrifying power was even transmitted continuously along the rock layers of the mountain, eventually causing a terrifying earthquake. The mountain shook, the roads cracked, and the houses collapsed!

“Mana Core Overload!”

The terrifying shockwave weakened along the way, but it still shook the large platform base.

At this moment, the mages ‘casting power was highly concentrated. They relied on their rich experience in dealing with earthquake spells from the Earth School of Thought to reinforce the mountain, guide the shock waves, and resolve the attacks. The soldiers were arranged in an open area, close to each other, supporting each other, and maintaining their rationality under this earth-shattering shock.

They saw columns of smoke and waves of fire rising from the ruins of the castle on the top of the mountain.

Kant and Ah Xing returned to the large platform base through the Realm Gate.

He looked in the direction of the castle where the fire was still burning. The smoke covered the entire area. He did not calculate the total yield of the bombs that were stuffed into the Baixing Square, but judging from the momentum, the entire castle was not blown up. He had to thank the Broken Islands for not caring about the cost and the amount of materials used to build the mountain fortress.

“I just remembered a bad saying on the Internet.”

“There’s the law of smoke without injury,” he said slowly.

In the confined space, many air-fuel bombs and high-explosive bombs were used together. Whether it was the explosive treatment of the ground explosion point, the high temperature burning, the oxygen suffocation, or the repeated stacking of shock waves in the confined space, it was enough to make the enemy from outer space suffer. Since he could vomit blood from Ah Xing’s righteous sneak attack, it was impossible for him to remain unscathed under such an artistic attack.

But… He was still a little uneasy.

It was not just because of the other party’s background and identity.

As the archenemy of the Fire Stealers, this guy who controlled the mortal world from high up in the sky treated the well on the square as his only chance of winning in a desperate situation…

“Let’s go take a look?” Ah Xing saw his worry.

Kant sensed it for a moment and said helplessly,” The reference objects attached to the spatial beacons are all ruined. The brand left on them has been washed away. Besides, there’s no way to see inside now.”

There were still remnants of seawater that Kant had poured in. Now, it had been vaporized instantly by the high-temperature explosion. The underground world must be filled with toxic gases and high-temperature steam now, and there was a possibility that it would collapse.

For safety reasons, they couldn’t rashly step into it now.

“But we have another source of information.”

Kant turned around. Under the protection of the Warriors of Destruction, the actual ruler of the Broken Islands and the highest ruler avoided his gaze and shrank back.

The Fire Stealer walked forward, grabbed his hair, and threw him to the ground.

“Don’t! Don’t!”

” I’ll tell you everything!” The old but not withered Island Master lay on the ground. He curled up and let out a miserable but not ear-piercing scream. I’ll tell you everything!”

He raised his head and looked at Kant. His neatly combed white hair was stuck to his face in a mess. The super-rich man who controlled countless wealth and made the world dance with him had a flattering expression on his face.” Your Highness Kant, the great Your Highness Kant, I have countless wealth and countless resources. I’ll give them all to you…”

” Stop acting,” Kant said coldly.” Get to the point.”

Horus, who was beside him, had already turned on his video recording mode. A few drones buzzed around him, and the naval officers of the three countries surrounded him. Two giant dragons transformed into humans and descended.

“He’s the god of the Star Palace… Oh, no, false gods!”

“Many years ago, our ancestors came here and established the Broken Islands. They absorbed power and accumulated wealth. This was the secret support and help of the Star Palace!” The Island Master replied without hesitation.

” They ordered us to become nails and nail ourselves to the Broken Islands. We exerted our influence and fought with Goethe for the position of the trade hub of the Western Sea. Their goal was to cut off the great sea route between Goethe and Aurora, and to cut off all communication between the Eastern and Western Continents! We are the key to this grand plan!”

The naval officers of the various countries were stunned when they heard this. They then discussed in low voices. Messi Zhu revealed a look of disbelief, but the one who had the biggest reaction was actually the elf captain, Quillion.

“Bullshit!” He said sternly,” Blocking Goethe and cutting off the Aurora Sea Route is clearly…”

The Island Master knew what he was going to say, so he asked,”The Sunset Moon is the other part of the plan!” How could a mere Goethe enter the Star Palace’s eyes? Their goal was to sever the connection between the two continents! Do you think that the Twilight Moon Dynasty doesn’t have their eyes, ears, or even servants?”

The elves ‘expressions changed.

“This is a huge conspiracy! You soldiers of the so-called powerful countries are proud of your country, loyal to the monarch or your own beliefs. You want to make contributions and expand your territory, but you never expected that there would be a proud gaze looking down on the mortal world in the sky. The disputes, wars, and even tragedies in this world are related to them six or seven out of ten times!”

The Island Master shouted hoarsely. He waved his arms and revealed one big piece of news after another.

Then, he faced Kant and bowed. According to the custom of Aurora, he kowtowed and shouted,” Your Highness, I want to expose the great conspiracy of the false gods of the Star Palace! That fake god didn’t descend to the mortal world just to deal with you! He has another terrifying plan!”

After saying that, he straightened his body and pointed at the sea outside the platform. It was closely related to them! If my guess is correct, he wants to awaken the hundred-legged giant beasts that have been guarding the Broken Islands for generations and spread these countless sea monsters to all parts of the world!”

“The Star Palace wants to cut off all sea trade and shipping in the mortal world!”the Island Master shouted at the top of his voice.

As soon as he said this, the officers and soldiers were in an uproar. Their horizons and wisdom varied, but they all made a living on the sea. Before they landed, they had racked their brains and used all their skills to resist the countless sea monsters. If the advanced warships of the three strongest countries in the world were so difficult to resist, what more ordinary merchant ships? Once this thing really spread all over the world…

The flourishing ocean trade that supported the world today was indeed going to be interrupted!

As a result, commercial activities declined, prices soared, countless people lost their jobs, and famine appeared everywhere…Such a catastrophe was simply unimaginable. It was too evil!

” Your Highness Kant!”

They looked at the Fire Stealer in shock and panicked.

The enemy came from the sky, an enemy he had never imagined before.

The other party’s plans and arrangements seemed to be deep in the mortal world, making one shudder.

Their plan was even more vicious.

This was obviously not something that the soldiers needed to know. They subconsciously looked at Kant. He was now the highest-ranking officer.

Kant’s expression was calm. He did not find it strange. He had been mentally prepared for this. He had heard Darian mention the enemy from beyond the heavens. Besides, he had seen evil forces manipulating the world behind the scenes thousands of times on Earth. There was nothing to be surprised about.

He pondered for a moment and asked,”A giant beast from the deep sea?” Sealed in the Broken Islands?”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

” Yes.” The Island Master nodded vigorously.” This is also our mission for generations. But according to the speculation of our ancestors, it should not be sealed. It should be ordered to stay in the deep sea.”

” From the words of the false god, I managed to guess some of the inside information. The Star Palace must have placed the Behemoth here many years ago to deal with their enemies. They predicted that in another ten years, their enemies would be devoured by the Behemoth. At that time, they would release the Behemoth and carry out a new plan, which is to cut off the sea trade of the mortal world…”

He stole a glance at Kant.” But it seems like something unexpected happened. They had no choice but to carry out the plan ahead of time and release the deep-sea monster.”

” Are you out now?” Kant asked coldly.

“Not yet…not yet…”

The Island Master raised his head and looked at Kant. His eyes did not waver, and he tried his best to appear sincere and humble. He said carefully,”” They seem to hate coming to the mortal world, so their calculations are very accurate. The deep-sea beast is in a deep sleep, just like hibernating creatures that can store food. It also has food stored, which is the deep-sea race sealed by the Star Palace. After eating all the enemies of the Star Palace, it will recover its energy and wake up completely. That should be more than ten years later…”

Kant seemed to have understood something. His eyes turned cold.

“Then if we want that thing to wake up now…”

The Island Master gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

“The living beings of the entire Broken Islands?” The Fire Stealer asked coldly.

The Island Master shrunk his neck and slowly nodded.

“-beast!”

Furious curses rang out from the side. Mei Xizhu’s eyes were red as he raised his hand to summon flames. However, it was extinguished by Elric, who was beside him. The other party hugged his good friend and shouted,” Do you want to die?!”

He had used an offensive spell in front of Kant, and he had done so after the Island Master had revealed his secret.

This kind of behavior was too taboo.

The Spell Casters on the island that Kant had saved were also furious. This anger slowly spread throughout the navy. Everyone’s gaze was infinitely cold. No matter what civilization or culture they were from, sacrificing countless lives to the brutal monsters was an intolerable evil.

As long as Kant gave the order, the former tycoon would probably be torn to shreds.

“Your Highness Kant!” the Island Master shouted. Please spare my life! I was forced. If I didn’t listen to his orders, I would be executed in the cruelest way! I know this isn’t a good excuse, but!”

” However, the Star Palace’s threat to the mortal world is already close to the surface. Even if this operation is stopped, there will be more brutal means coming. This is a threat to the entire world, and the entire world should fight it together. Your Highness wants to keep me alive so that my confession can win the trust of the kings of the various countries!”

“I still have a lot of information that I haven’t told you!”

“The wealth and resources I have can be put to great use!”

“Your Highness Kant! Killing me now is just to avenge those who died and make you feel better. Other than that, there’s no other meaning!”

” After I die, my remaining wealth, intelligence, accumulation, and private soldiers will all disappear silently and never be known by the world again. Why not use them to fight against the Star Palace and play their proper role? I’m already so old, what’s the difference between dying today and dying some time later?”

“So, please spare my life! I beg for your mercy and rationality!”

He had already planned out his way of survival on the way to the surface with the Star Palace God.

As a businessman, one had to prepare for the worst.

And things were just as he had predicted. The so-called God of the Star Palace was so vulnerable to Kant’s scheme that he fled like a scoundrel. He had served the God of the Star Palace not because of his father’s request, but because he wanted to live longer. Now that the false god had retreated and he had been captured by Kant, he was afraid that he would be cut into a thousand pieces, let alone live forever. The most important thing now was to save himself!

He quickly adjusted his state of mind. He was truly able to accept and let go. He would lick Kant’s boots the way he had licked the Star Palace Ruler’s boots before. As for his face and dignity, he had already lost his life. There was no need to talk about these things.

He had been the Island Lord for so many years and had seen countless people being corrupted by money and bending over for women driven by their desires. His three views had long been distorted and his morals had become indifferent. He felt that humans were animals and morals were just a hypocritical coat. How could he care about the so-called dignity?

Therefore, he knelt down as quickly as possible. Without any nonsense, he pushed out the chips with the highest price without any hesitation or heartache. After all, he was a businessman.

He was one of the most successful businessmen in the world.

Kant’s expression darkened.

The Island Master’s efforts and manipulation had been in vain. Kant did not care about his life anymore. The priority of this matter was very low.

He felt that something even more troublesome had happened.

” Before I caught up with him, he told me something like he couldn’t resist fate. Then I saw him open his arms to the deep well. At that time, I had cornered him.”

” What do you think he’s up to?” Kant asked slowly.

The other party was surprised for a moment, and then his pupils suddenly constricted.

The island owner muttered,”He fed himself to…” That monster?”

At this point, he couldn’t help but shiver.

Because he had seen the terrifying scene of tentacles flying in the sky, sweeping up living creatures to bite and devour them. Because he had seen it before, he could associate it with the violent explosion and the flames of the desperate situation. The tentacles waved at an extremely fast speed and wrapped up the gods of the Star Palace.

It wrapped around the other party’s body, and there was even a smile on the other party’s face.

It was a deep-sea beast that was still sleeping and would only wake up after eating its fill.

He had eaten an extraordinary body that claimed to be a god and was high up in the Star Palace.

“If it’s just suicide, there should be many ways.”

Kant turned around and left.” Horus, make him a suit of armor. Guard him personally. No one is allowed to approach or peep at him. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!”

It worked!

The Island Master was overwhelmed with great joy, but he gritted his teeth and did not even dare to cheer. He did not even thank or praise His Highness Kant for his kindness. He knew very well that no matter what he said now, it would incur the other party’s disgust and displeasure.

From now on, he made up his mind that unless the other party asked, he would not say a word.

“I have a bad feeling.”

” We have to prepare for the worst.” The officers followed behind Kant.” The explosion doesn’t kill him in time, or his body will still be eaten by the deep-sea monster after he’s killed.”

He looked in the direction of the sea. The monsters were still endless. Even if the corpses formed a mountain, they were still surging out of the deep sea. God knew how many there were.

“I think something amazing will happen.”

“We need to formulate an evacuation plan… Big plan.”
