Chapter 1785 - 919: A Golden Scale Is Not a Pond Fish!

It was as if a mountain was rising from the ground!

An unprecedented violent tremor erupted from the deepest depths beneath the earth, rumbling continuously, causing cracks to appear all over the vast plaza.

Piercing screams rose and fell as the crowd fled in terror, the snaking cracks growing like living creatures, traversing the entire plaza and climbing up the walls of the skyscrapers...

In the distance, helicopters urgently climbed in altitude, the aerial view showing the now unrecognizable plaza, and beneath the cracks, a shimmering glow flowed like water, almost about to erupt.

Numerous question marks flashed across the screens of countless live streams.

[What happened?]

[Earthquake!]

[No, is Central City full of jerry-built projects too?]

[Wait, that damn East City gang couldn't have used a bunker buster, could they? What underground facility did they hit?]

[Case solved, kids. The Central City urban legends are real; they're really capturing kids!]

[Holy hell, does anyone else think the clouds in the sky look like a giant serpent? It seems to be bleeding...]

[Earthquake clouds?]

[Look at the ground, what's that on the ground!]

A storm arose suddenly!

In the midst of chaos, thunder abruptly erupted.

Above the firmament, the shadow of a giant serpent, unseen by common folk, stirred the clouds, roaring with the fury of a dragon, opening its mouth to unleash a storm and lightning, overpowering the Heavenly Calamity.

The Heavenly Power manifested here!

In an instant, a deluge descended from the sky, enough to turn all the surface structures of East City Bank to dust and instantly vaporize all the foolish robbers!

Then, it was as if it collided with an invisible iron wall head-on...

Silently scattered.

Among the cracks, the bank, still puffing smoke and on the brink of collapse, merely quivered slightly, unharmed!

"What's going on?"

In the command room, Yu Yinglong was too overwhelmed by the scene before him to muster any anger at Han Hui's reckless actions.

He had prepared a hundred thousand excuses like gas explosions ready to cover for that scoundrel Han Hui, yet he didn't expect much thunder and little rain.

Could it be that Han Hui suddenly developed a conscience and took the bigger picture into account?!

"The, the vault..."

The slumped craftsman lifted his head, smiling hollowly: "That's the vault's defense module..."

At that moment, Yu Yinglong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

It was as if he finally understood what it meant.

"Those robbers have long been able to open the vault; they've just been stalling, waiting..."

The craftsman's stunned mumbling revealed the final mystery: "Waiting for the situation to get increasingly serious, waiting for us to proactively open Earth Vein circulation for them..."

Waiting for them, to fill in the last piece of the puzzle for this audacious plan!

Now, beneath East City Bank, the Kunwu Lock, the demolition stake wedged above the vault completely shattered. Countless fragments bloomed like lotus flowers, and an intense light pillar erupted, rising, splitting, and spreading, enveloping the entire bank.

It was like a new blood vessel and nerve path, layer upon layer of alchemy circuit compressed to the extreme, unfolding, becoming a tree-like diagram that seemed to fill the sky and earth!

After swallowing countless spiritual substances, extracting the surging energy from the Earth Vein, it finally revealed its true form.

It was a replica meticulously forged by Ji Jue, different from the one in the vault—the second Kunwu Lock!!!

At this moment, the two Kunwu Locks paralleled and interlinked, indistinguishable from each other, their double ferocity engulfing the Earth Veins, exerting their power over the entire bank!

No matter how Han Hui's Heavenly Human Shadow raged, unleashing storms and thunderbolts, the barrage of gunfire, or the Chosen Ones' siege.

Like an impregnable cliff, it stood proudly.

Without any wavering!

"Sorry, embarrassingly so."

Inside the bank, Ji Jue wiped the blood off his face, looked up, gazed at the powerless, raging outline, and casually raised a finger in greeting.

Instantly, the Heavenly Being raged, the serpent rampaged, descending from the clouds... launching a full-force attack without restraint, yet unable to shake the bank one iota.

Instead, Ji Jue's smile grew more mocking.

The dust settled, the outcome was decided.

When East City, as he wished, initiated the crisis lockdown procedure, everything became irreversible.

Evil Foolish's sacrifice, chemical crisis, large-scale terrorist attack, countless balloons, and all that Ji Jue did was to escalate the situation more and more severely.

Rumbles of thunder rose and fell, drawing everyone's attention, allowing their small raindrops to pass the most dangerous time.

And now, with all the provocations, when the moment of irreversibility arrived, everything reversed once again!

Kunwu Lock, completely out of control.

Welcoming the riot!

Anyone who's undergone basic security education must know one thing—a modified server, a dubious USB drive, or unchecked equipment should never be connected to the intranet!

Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

Just like now...

When the almost-collapsing Kunwu Lock rebooted, the consequences were beyond anyone's expectations.

If Ji Jue were to tear off his mask, revealing his true identity, he might still nonchalantly ask a more straightforward question: How could you still believe in a Creation that's been in the hands of the Master of Glory for so long?
