Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers
Chapter 779: The Roar of the S-1 War Alchemy Dragon, Faith Infiltration Triggers on Multiple Targets
Time flew by.
The Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization was making comprehensive preparations for the crisis that was about to arrive.
Yu Yuan’s transfer of the Lava Faith also reached a new milestone.
[Completed one “Deity Disguise.” Lava Faith Transfer +2.1%, Lava Faith Authority +1.1%]
On the Virtual Light Screen.
- Lava Faith Transfer: 74.6%
- Lava Faith Authority: 50.1%
- Molten Demon King Disguise Authenticity: 21.4%
Yu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Although the Molten Demon King had paid a little more attention to the Lava Faith over the past few days because of the Frost Demon King, it had only been a passing whim.
After confirming that only his own aura remained throughout the Faith Channel, the Molten Demon King gradually let his guard down.
“Once the Molten Demon King’s disguise authenticity is high enough, I’ll be able to plunder the Lava Faith.”
“Mm... No need to rush.”
Yu Yuan closed the Lava Faith Channel and took a brief rest with Mona before opening the Ice Faith Channel again.
The Eternal Frozen Tyrant’s aura remained dormant, even more obscure than before.
Clearly, the Eternal Frozen Tyrant was devoting all its attention to searching for the Corruption Source.
Mona followed their mental connection into the Frost Demon King’s mental world to check for the latest intelligence.
This had already become routine.
Yu Yuan had no way of learning about the Eternal Frozen Tyrant’s movements.
But he did have a way to keep track of the Frost Demon King!
The Eternal Frozen Tyrant’s target was the Frost Demon King. Keeping a close eye on him was all Yu Yuan needed.
“Too bad ‘Faith Infiltration’ still hasn’t triggered. Otherwise, we could have added another layer of protection,” Yu Yuan lamented inwardly.
Mona returned soon after.
“Leader, good news. The Frost Demon King seems to have tracked down a clue about the Eternal Frozen Tyrant, and he’s currently verifying it.”
Yu Yuan’s eyes brightened.
“Is it about to begin?”
“The Frost Demon King only just found a trace of the Eternal Frozen Tyrant’s aura. He’s worried about alerting it, so he’s being extremely discreet in his investigation. It may still take a few days.” Mona furrowed her brow.
Yu Yuan shook his head slightly. “No, we need to start preparing now.”
“Since the time spent transferring the Lava Faith will be shorter over the next few days, devote more of your energy to the Frost Demon King.”
Just then, Yu Yuan received a message from Hammond. He looked at it and beamed with delight.
“Beautiful.”

Bio-Alchemy World.
As the Bio-Alchemy Core and the Plasma Mechanical Hybrid Core radiated terrifyingly immense energy, the anti-gravity alchemical circuits carved into the War Alchemy Dragon began to light up one after another.
The 37,888 movable scales emitted a faint glow.
As the seven mechanical tentacles at its tail twisted, ripples appeared in space.
The Spinal Crest Alchemical Energy Emitter, Gravity Distortion Generator, Plasma Missile Launch Tubes, Annihilation Energy Cannon...
With energy flowing into them, each released a terrifying power.
Hum—
With a deep hum, a translucent Energy Deflection Shield enveloped the War Alchemy Dragon.
The War Alchemy Dragon stretched its body to its full extent.
Its wings spread wide, spanning 240 meters and blotting out the sky.
Its hideous dragon head, covered in an energy-bearing biological horny layer and studded with alchemical circuits, conical crystals, and liquid silver, suddenly lifted.
ROOOAR—
With a roar that shook heaven and earth, the S-1 War Alchemy Dragon prototype let out its first sound.
“Energy injection data for the Alchemical Dragon prototype is normal. Weapon systems normal, defense systems normal, command and control systems normal...”
As one report after another rang out, Hammond’s lips curled upward despite himself.
“We did it! We did it!”
Yu Yuan looked just as delighted.
Next came tests of its various abilities.
The War Alchemy Dragon streaked across the sky.
It spewed flames, and hundreds of plasma missiles rained down from above like scattered blossoms.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
When the smoke cleared, hundreds of huge craters pockmarked the earth. The surfaces of the craters were still coated in potent plasma-corrosive material, which continued to eat away at the ground.
The Spinal Crest Alchemical Energy Emitter fired a dark green beam.
A chasm several kilometers long and so deep its bottom could not be seen appeared in the earth.
The enormous wings of the War Alchemy Dragon, made from a titanium-138 alloy skeleton and carbon-fiber membranes, flapped gently.
It flew several kilometers, yet no one inside the War Alchemy Dragon felt the slightest discomfort.
Then it crossed the ocean and appeared over a new continent. Hammond pointed to a massive mountain range more than a thousand meters high and gave a solemn order:
“Charge and fire the Annihilation Energy Cannon!”
Terrifying energy began gathering in the War Alchemy Dragon’s mouth.
Energy from the Bio-Alchemy Core and the Plasma Mechanical Hybrid Core converged from its heart and head, merged, and compressed.
The War Alchemy Dragon trembled slightly. A thick, terrifying wave of energy appeared before the mountain range, then spread outward in a radial pattern.
The entire space fell silent, swallowed by the light.
More than ten seconds passed before the light faded.
But the mountain range still stood, not changed in the slightest.
Hammond’s expression shifted.
Before he could speak, someone gasped. He hurriedly looked over.
He froze.
The massive mountain range, which had been intact just moments ago, began crumbling bit by bit, turning to dust as it slowly vanished.
The process was swift, but to everyone watching, it looked eerily like a slow-motion replay, every detail crystal clear.
At last, when it was all over, the mountain range, more than a thousand meters high, had disappeared.
It had vanished completely, without a single trace or remnant.
There were no rocks or dust. It was as if nothing had ever been there.
“Annihilation... So this is what annihilation is...”
Yu Yuan looked at the vanished mountain range, a bright gleam flashing in his eyes.
The success of the S-1 War Alchemy Dragon prototype filled Yu Yuan with even greater confidence in facing the crisis ahead.
The War Alchemy Dragon’s combat power also caught Diona’s attention.
She proposed installing the Amos’s Eye Weapon System on the Alchemical Dragon.
Yu Yuan was naturally very interested in Amos’s Eye. He immediately told her to work with Masier and Hammond to research a viable modification method first.
Day after day continued to pass.
Yu Yuan waited as he transferred the Ice Faith and the Lava Faith.
[“Faith Infiltration” triggered successfully. Obtained [Ice - Trait] +1 and the [Ice Immunity] trait.]
“It finally triggered! That took long enough.”
- [Ice - Trait]: Can forcibly add one trait to a creature with ice attributes.
- [Ice Immunity]: Immune to all effects and attacks with ice attributes.
Yu Yuan looked at the information on the Virtual Light Screen, his expression satisfied.
“Everything is ready now. Eternal Frozen Tyrant, when are you coming? I can’t wait!”
As he waited, the Starry Sky Observatory refreshed once more.
Yu Yuan obtained a Silver-tier card, [Celestial Phenomenon - Elusive Illusion], which could conceal an area or a creature and was exceptionally deceptive.
Through the Hidden Library’s [Global News Weekly], Yu Yuan learned that the Corruption Source had finished reshaping the Terra Continent during this period. He eagerly awaited the Eternal Frozen Tyrant’s arrival.
As the waiting continued, Mona returned once more from the Frost Demon King’s mental world.
She looked at Yu Yuan, excitement flickering in her eyes.
