Chapter 1314 - 1005: Defensive Line of the Current Circumstances

Chapter 1314: Chapter 1005: Defensive Line of the Current Circumstances

"How did you do it?"

Huai Shi was amazed, looked around, and found that the Ivory Tower hadn’t exploded.

Not a single issue.

"Don’t worry, Old Turtle Luo Su gave me this."

Old Shepherd Gregory raised his wrist, revealing a ring-shaped clasp resembling a watch, two of them, fluidly swirling like liquid on both his hands.

When the two clasps collided, a spherical space vaguely appeared around him. To be precise, countless silver glimmers danced like dust.

Just like tiny stars.

Much like how the smell of sun-dried blankets comes from the corpse of mites, these countless silver glimmers were similarly composed of innumerable remains.

Combined with Sharma’s ’cyclical ecology’ and the source substance ’primordial soup’ created by Shah from the Existence Institute, these two seemingly useless clasps were made.

The countless silicon-based cells concocted by primordial soup formed a reproductive system anchored in a cyclic ecology around Gregory, endlessly self-replicating.

Then quickly dissolved and killed by the characteristics of primitive curse, the remains being recycled and remade, forming a dynamic cycle.

Using DOS attacks to counter EMP, using science to defeat magic. As long as I replicate fast enough, you won’t be able to delete me, thereby achieving a balance between life and death.

Instead of forcibly suppressing the mixed primitive curse properties, it’s better to actively give it tasks to keep it too busy, preventing it from harming other innocent devices.

"Although it’s necessary to remove them when working, it should be fine as long as I run far enough." Gregory spread his hands. "Just in time, I’ve had a major fight with the Stone Pot Society recently, everyone’s a bit embarrassed, so I’m following you to Hell to lay low for a while."

"Then I’ll leave it to you."

Huai Shi straightened up, officially greeted the old predecessors in front of him once more, as for the last one, Raymond, ha, just a tool person.

This is the lineup of the entire exploration team.

According to Luo Su, in Hell there would be a few waves of guides waiting for them, but the ones primarily executing the outpost activation and retrieving the Parrot Conch mission are just these few.

Raymond, as the driver and backup pilot for Parrot Conch; Anton, conducting temporary repairs and setups for Parrot Conch to ensure its seamless return to current circumstances; Iron Crystal Throne’s Captain Foster, operating the internal equipment of Parrot Conch to maintain its sound operation; and even Alchemist Gregory, functioning in both mystic ritual destruction and miracle reproduction.

And, the versatile captain Huai Shi.

Everyone possesses irreplaceable functions, seemingly the only one that could be missing is himself, yet precisely so many are here to assist him.

Honestly speaking, he felt immense pressure.

Although the team Luo Su selected for Huai Shi certainly wouldn’t lay traps or have disputes and conflicts, due to the trust and cooperation from the old predecessors, Huai Shi felt some trepidation.

Three days were barely enough time for a few to arrive at the Ivory Tower, but the fortunate bit was everyone was already familiar with each other, requiring no major adaptation.

Three minutes later, Isaac rushed in carrying a box.

Once opened, the box revealed a row of pre-filled syringes, the liquid inside swirling with a dark hue, looking decidedly suspicious.

"This is a necessary confidentiality measure, enchanted with mystic ritual inside, provided by the Jurisdiction Bureau, ensuring none of you will leak the mission and objectives under any conditions, providing self-destruct in critical moments to prevent further suffering. Time is limited, please administer yourselves."

Still adhering to straightforward introductions, but everyone present was already accustomed. Nobody thought it was a sign of disrespect or refused to cooperate, skillfully picking up a syringe, aiming at their arteries to inject.

With a snap, Huai Shi felt a grayish aura spreading throughout his body and soul, enveloping everything, yet rapidly dissipating.

But with just a thought, confirmed three times, he could instantly ignite himself from within, turning to ethereal smoke.

Now he really shouldn’t be daydreaming...

A careless mistake might actually kill himself.

Thankfully, this thing only has a one-month effectiveness, after which it naturally degrades and disappears, though one month is plenty. Even if the mission is concluded early, secret monitoring must be entered, until all plans are fulfilled.

"I don’t need to say anything extra, I sincerely hope everyone returns safely."

Finally, Isaac stepped back, bowed with a hand on his chest: "Wishing everyone a smooth journey."

Along with his words, the steel canopy withdrew to the sides, a gigantic airship slowly descended from within.

Following Luo Su’s instructions before leaving, Caogene Yang Zi and Sharma worked overtime to repair and complete the ’big guy’, the Hell Environment Survey Airship.

Inside are devices capable of sustaining deep survival for three months, and all necessary tools. According to records, its farthest safe navigation distance even crossed the Withering Region, deep into the Abyss Dark Zone.

And puffed on the airbag were numerous monster special effects showcasing Yingzhou characteristics, evidently crafted by Yang Zi.

"Take it and use it."

The old lady, puffing on a cigarette, tossed the keys over, taking one last glance at her creation: "After all, it’s a disposable item."

After thrice accounting for all the provisions and resources, the giant gate roared wide open.

In silence, everyone turned to look at Huai Shi’s location.

Huai Shi smiled softly, lifted the luggage in his hand:

"Let’s go."

.

Beyond the gate, there was endless light.

The special Rainbow Bridge path provided by the Jurisdiction Bureau had already opened, shimmering rainbow glow wrapped around the airship, and in an instant, pulled them into oblivion.

It is unclear whether it was due to the transformation of Source Substance’s divine nature that there was some new change. This time, Huai Shi actually clearly glimpsed the changes in every place from the fleeting light and shadow of the past.

In an instant, countless scenes flashed by in the light, as if visiting every corner of the Current Circumstances in a moment.

Following the networks connecting countless borders and Current Circumstances, with a snap of fingers, they already arrived outside the Current Circumstances.

The sound of tides surged.

After a dizziness akin to the earth spinning and the sky turning, one could glimpse the endless ocean raging below, returning once more to the Endless Sea shrouded by the Asian Border.

But this time, it’s no longer the same as before.

This time, in the void of darkness above, there was no longer the shroud of clouds. Countless shining stars seemed almost within reach...

Pale, scarlet, and dark green lights continually flashed, evoking ominous meanings.

That was the depth distance between Hell and Current Circumstances.

Almost as if it was within reach!

Behind them, in the gateway of Rainbow Bridge, massive objects continued to fly out, resembling giant columns, spewing flame light, rising into the sky, forming an endless array with numerous giant columns floating there.

With rainbow light as the connection, they constructed a giant web seemingly enveloping the sky.

Components branching from Rainbow Bridge, after a long preheating, finally reformed into a new expansion link, covering the power from Current Circumstances over the endless ocean.

"The defensive line is about to activate; we need to speed up."

Captain Foster turned back and said to Raymond, "Any later, and we might get trapped inside."

Raymond nodded, pulling the control lever all the way down, the enormous airship, amidst violent trembling, quickly began to fade, camouflaging like a chameleon into the void, disappearing from sight.

The camouflage coating activated.

After passing through countless contracted mesh holes and sending the final signal to the Current Circumstances behind them, the airship entered silent mode.

Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

From this moment onward, they will lose all support from the Current Circumstances and truly step into Hell.

Not descending, but ascending.

Towards the fierce stars descending.

Yet behind them came a vast and terrifying ripple, like the echo of the Current Circumstances shattering.

Not carried by sound waves, but countless ripples of Source Substance overlapping, transforming into a tide of Source Substance capable of drowning every soul, spreading in all directions!

Like a song.

At that moment, Huai Shi turned back in astonishment, sensing the resonance of some massive object from the reverberating rhythm.

Resonance from the Current Circumstances!

Underneath the pulling and coverage of countless Rainbow Bridge links, like chains that were so long one couldn’t see the beginning or end, they bound the Endless Sea, then, pulling with infinite force...inwardly contracting?

No, it should be said, like covering with a blanket.

The towering ocean waves rolled up, the endless shimmer surged along the links, under the control of gravity and Rainbow Bridge, like a thick blanket, covering the Current Circumstances shrouded by three major seals!

Not only the Endless Sea here, but also the molten mountains in the Middle East region, the endless wilderness of the Russian Federation, and the eternal white fog covering the American Border.

Using each border as a node, deploying the Rainbow Bridge links, entangling the materialized worlds formed among the borders, inwardly rolling.

Ultimately, closing from six sides, forming a self-contained cube, thoroughly enveloping the Current Circumstances within.

At this moment, amidst the grand transformation difficult to observe even with exhaustive vision, Huai Shi finally understood why countless borders were considered as the city walls of the Current Circumstances.

Not only are spatial and external relationships involved, but even the domains between borders are the city walls themselves!

At this moment, in the abyss akin to cosmic emptiness, surrounded by fierce stars, only this existence difficult for vision to accommodate remains!

Compared to it, any existence is but a grain in the ocean; it is the world itself after the combination of the border and Current Circumstances.

——Defensive Line of the Current Circumstances!

The activation of the defensive line signifies that from this moment on, the Current Circumstances officially enters a war state.

And surrounding the Current Circumstances, on the shell composed of countless borders, already countless ominous clouds are slowly enveloping.

Before the deep tides have reached the Current Circumstances, the Rulers and Great Mobs in Hell cannot massively deploy their power, but that doesn’t stop them from already starting to gather their forces, establishing alliances, or commencing communication.

The Owners of the Great Mob occupying advantageous positions have already sent invitations to the powerful presences deeper within.

Some even are minions extended from certain massive objects within the Abyss Dark Zone.

Before the stars, layers of shadows surged.

Strands like aurora extended and intertwined, enveloping the dark abyss in mesmerizing light.

Regrettably, that’s not the door to bliss.

But Hell’s Ladder.
