Chapter 691 - 426: Spear of Judgment

Su Mo ignored those high-ranking officials who were bowing their heads and begging, walking past them and leading Su Motong deep into the underground headquarters.

The spiral staircase was dark and seemingly endless, layered and twisted, with forks and isolation doors everywhere, forming a vast labyrinth.

Su Mo inserted the assembled key into the control panel.

The winding spiral stairway began to rotate, gate after gate retracted one after another, and the laser beam defense system spread throughout the corridor also shut down, eventually forming a long ladder directly leading to the deepest part of the underground.

Su Mo led Su Motong to the end of the ladder, and the moment the metal door in front of them opened, a dazzling light surged out, overwhelming them like a tide.

This was a vast and empty space, with a storage device covered in transparent crystal placed in the center, emanating a faint fluorescence and isolating the existence inside.

Through the crystal wall, a long sword could be seen sealed inside. Its main body was crimson, like the color of coagulated blood, with a slender blade covered in fine engravings, gradually darkening from crimson to deep black from the hilt to the tip.

The deep black was not its original color, but some kind of black energy constantly moving at the sword’s tip, eerie and variable, sometimes dispersing like smoke, sometimes coiling around the blade like a solid, exuding a cold, sinister aura that seemed capable of eroding any life approaching it.

Desecrating Silence Sword, Dawn’s Sixth Great Passage Artifact.

Su Mo opened the crystal storage device and held this sinister weapon in his hand.

"Swish—"

The moment he drew the Desecrating Silence Sword, Su Motong, as if sensing something, suddenly turned pale and instinctively backed away, staring at it with extreme caution.

Su Mo looked at the Desecrating Silence Sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Motong, it’s normal for you to feel afraid of the Desecrating Silence Sword because it is a weapon specifically designed to kill constructs."

"The body structure of constructs is different from the flesh and blood of humans, being made of special active metal."

"Even an ordinary ’Worker Bee’ construct has high physical strength, and someone like you, a ’Queen Bee,’ possesses an automatic repair ability, with a speed comparable to a Black King Level Crimson Rose Blood Code Carrier."

"Above you exists another entity, the construct ’Master Brain,’ which is even higher than the ’Queen Bee,’ almost immortal."

"No matter how high the level of an Extraordinary Being, no matter guns or missiles, they cannot effectively harm the Master Brain."

In Su Motong’s eyes, the black-and-crimson sword reflected, as if plunging her into reminiscence.

"156 years ago, in that apocalyptic war, humans of the old era poured their most advanced technology into creating the Desecrating Silence Sword to combat the construct Master Brain."

"This sword is not sharp, its effectiveness in cutting is probably no better than a kitchen knife, but it carries a special field that can disintegrate the active metal body of constructs into atomic states, directly destroying their physical properties and extinguishing their repair abilities."

"This is also the only weapon that can harm the construct Master Brain."

Not long after Su Mo finished speaking, the communicator suddenly rang.

He answered, and on the other end, Fenrir’s solemn voice came through: "How’s it going on your side? Get out as soon as you’ve finished, something big has happened."

Fenrir, who rose from the Border Mire of New Moon City, later became the nominal supreme leader of the Rebel Army. With so many years of battles, she has truly seen all kinds of storms.

For her to be so urgent, something unusual must have occurred.

However, Su Mo did not become tense, nor did he even ask what had happened, his eyes still maintained that penetrating calmness.

He sheathed the Desecrating Silence Sword and said to Su Motong: "Let’s go up."

The two returned to the surface, and when they came out, chaos had already erupted outside.

Whether it was the capital’s civilians, the Group Army soldiers, high-ranking officials, or Fenrir and other Rebel Army backbone, everyone was looking up at the sky, their expressions ranging from astonishment to despair.

The sky was now showing an anomalous scene.

It was clearly early morning, the sun shining brightly, yet the vast firmament was dotted with shimmering "stars."

Initially, there were just one or two faint white lights, but as time passed, the number of lights rapidly increased, densely filling the entire sky as if countless stars had suddenly appeared.

These stars emitted a pure white light, blending together to form a blazing ocean, their number untraceable, flickering like countless eyes coldly observing the world.

"What are these things..." someone asked tremulously.

Yet no one could answer.

This anomaly did not only appear in the capital.

In every city within the World Government Territory, whether belonging to the East District or West District, even in the Land of No Master outside the territory, this scene appeared in every corner of the world where the sky was visible, the sky filled with white stars.

Meanwhile, all communication devices in the Human Realm, whether the communicators on soldiers, city public broadcasts, or private mobile phones, were forcibly taken over by some signal.

After a brief static noise, a steady and authoritative voice came through.

"This is Sky City, I now announce on behalf of the Hegemony Company, Iron Blood Alliance, and Black Domain Group to all of humanity."

"In the past year, the Wolf Assault Rebel Army has incited rebellion, spreading the flames of war from the border to the World Government Territory. This Black Tide War has destroyed the civilization and order rebuilt by humans since the Dawn Year."
