Chapter 157 : God-Abandoned Domain
Chapter 157 : God-Abandoned Domain
"Red General..."
She murmured.
Song Baining only heard a faint sound, her gaze peering through the gaps between the mecha's fingers to observe the outside situation when she suddenly noticed something wrong.
Wu Ye's movements paused, as if sensing something. They raised their head to look up at the sky.
The God-Abandoned Domain's sky was formed by the intersection of energy and other energy fields, covered by black mist in the air, presenting a deep black color. Only a crescent moon revealed itself, cold white moonlight spilling onto the ground. But at this moment, under the moonlight, a red light projected from an extremely distant location, casting a light spot on the ground.
The surging sound of the Rust-Red Sea grew increasingly vast, like an undersea giant beast letting out roars. Waves rolled on the sea surface, with water even surpassing the Rust-Red Sea's domain, continuously spilling outward.
Just as the entire Rust-Red Sea boiled like heated water, a vortex suddenly appeared in the central sea surface. Water gathered ring by ring along the vortex, quickly forming a huge water column on the sea surface. The entire Rust-Red Sea seemed to have been blasted with a huge hole from the seabed, water flowing out from below, the sea level rapidly dropping.
The sky-reaching water column carried surging energy, the massive energy tide scattering like a passing hurricane, quickly alarming the entire God-Abandoned Domain.
The energy bodies, as if threatened, erupted with energy impacts, driving wave after wave of energy storms. The God-Abandoned Domain instantly became lively.
Military school students approaching the base station position all detected the anomaly. The central water column was visible at a glance. Military school students scattered throughout various positions in the energy field unanimously stopped in their tracks, looking up.
They saw a red light illuminate in the center of the water column, instantly lighting up the entire sea surface.
The Rust-Red Sea's water was instantly drained completely, leaving only the rugged seabed and red rust traces spread throughout the entire Rust-Red Sea.
At the same moment the water was exhausted, a shock wave blasted from the seabed. The spear standing erect in the center of the seabed suddenly loosened, as if hearing a summons. The spear shot toward midair, with the broken other half rising along with the red rust.
The moment the spear left the seabed, water suddenly surged from the dried seabed, instantly filling the entire sea area. The Rust-Red Sea's waves rolled again, water washing over the spear in midair. Red rust covered it layer by layer, along with the broken parts bonding together. The spear's broken end closed, completely repaired, exploding with dazzling light in midair.
"What is this thing!"
Noya and his two companions had already approached the base station position, occupying a very high point that allowed them to see the form of the spear. As the broken gap was filled, he stared at the weapon's appearance, suddenly feeling it looked familiar: "Why do I feel like I've seen this somewhere before?"
Beside him, Xie Chunshi had already concentrated his gaze, his expression somewhat serious.
"Hurry up!"
He nodded to the two, the mecha propelling faster.
"The God-Abandoned Domain's energy riot has intensified again."
"Or rather, it's awakened," Noya added. His expression wasn't as nonchalant as before; at this moment, all military school students were tense.
After observing the surrounding situation, he immediately analyzed: "The dormant energy signals of the Ten Major Energy Fields are all very high, and the main energy body's style is also very strange. Under such a riot, we haven't seen many energy bodies appear in the God-Abandoned Domain, indicating the main energy body hasn't released energy bodies affected by the dormant signal. But now, it's uncertain."
To describe it more vividly, the entire God-Abandoned Domain had come alive.
"The God-Abandoned Domain is space attribute energy. Within the energy field, energy bodies exist separately in certain spaces," Xie Chunshi explained in a deep voice. This is also the reason for the God-Abandoned Domain's special nature. Each year's changing scenes are actually projections of space energy. The God-Abandoned Domain's special attribute divides energy bodies from each other, unaffected by energy storms, which also means these energy bodies can merge into the energy field at any time, gathering into a more powerful energy storm.
After coming into contact with information about space attributes, it wasn't difficult for Noya to guess this point. The space between energy bodies being broken indicated that the energy field had encountered an energy signal threatening enough. The subsequent result was the continued strengthening of the energy riot throughout the God-Abandoned Domain.
Above the Rust-Red Sea, the next second after the spear was repaired, the energy crystal embedded in the spear head, like a jewel, burst forth with a beam of light. Under the light's cover, the spear instantly disappeared, leaving only a streak of scarlet light, stretching from above the Rust-Red Sea all the way toward a certain direction in the God-Abandoned Domain, exploding above the small town under the cold moon.
The weapon's metallic ringing grew increasingly intense, like a series of calls. Chen Sui felt the mental resonance, her mind involuntarily recalling the scene of meeting Lu Cuining on Hundred-Day Star.
The other had found her mecha fragments in the God-Abandoned Domain; similarly, could her lost mecha weapon have also fallen in the God-Abandoned Domain?
Red General held a very different significance for Chen Sui. It was a spear personally forged by Chen Jia, infused with her mental power, almost able to move according to her will. There was no second one like it in the entire wasteland world.
That spear had once led her to break through countless contaminated areas, slaying innumerable contaminated creatures. No matter how far away, it would find her through mental resonance.
Chen Sui's eyes grew increasingly bright. As her mind fell into excitement, in her mental domain, space energy fused from countless locations. The mental domain's energy charge became increasingly full, and in the moment of energy abundance, the mental domain seemed to extend into boundless space. The green energy crystal rotated, with the surrounding green energy appearing particularly small under the vast space energy's fullness.
A faint light illuminated around Forest Envelopment's outer ring, extending outward from around it, pushing back the space compression surrounding Chen Sui, farther and farther. Chen Sui experimentally moved her hand, feeling her body loosen. She immediately released her grip. Song Baining regained freedom, leaping down from her palm to see the mecha standing up from the ground.
She looked over in shock. Wu Ye was controlling the surrounding space energy, countless space blades gathering, pointing directly at Chen Sui. However, the standing mecha opened its palm, a powerful call emanating from the cockpit.
"Red General!"
Resoundingly clear.
Wu Ye looked over somewhat surprisingly, suddenly hearing the explosive sound of a fierce wind, cutting through the air!
"Clang—"
Piercing through clouds and wind, the straight spear inserted into the ground beside Chen Sui's palm with a boom, causing spider web-like cracks to appear on the ground.
As the red light flickered, an invisible force swept out. The crystal at the spear tip burst with light, surging space energy directly shattering the surrounding blades, cutting unclear lines through the air, directly connecting and opening up the space divided by Wu Ye, restoring it to completeness.
Song Baining looked over immediately, her gaze first gathering on the spear tip, first seeing the crystal inside. Shocked at the core crystal being in the spear, she suddenly noticed the strange material of the spear.
The sharp four-edged spear blade reflected silver-white lines in the moonlight, engraved with extremely special patterns. It appeared to be made of fine iron, but for Song Baining, just sensing this aura, the Song family could recognize it—it was the one and only gift in the entire Star Alliance from Master Jin to Song Yuanlai, Zhu Jing Stone!
Impervious to water and fire, untainted by dust, even able to isolate energy.
Song Baining raised her head in shock, looking toward the mecha. Chen Sui couldn't see her expression. At the moment of the spear's arrival, her heart had already been occupied by ecstatic joy.
The mecha's hand gripped the spear, mental resonance unfolding. In Chen Sui's blank pupils, a white light spot suddenly appeared. Her eyes focused, and Chen Sui instantly charged out!
Wu Ye was startled by the appearance of the spear. Their head showed no expression, but the surging black mist around was enough to show their unrest. As mountain-like, sea-like space energy descended, Wu Ye was already prepared. Seeing the space division they had prepared being dismantled, they waved their hand, black mist spreading and permeating. Watching Chen Sui rush toward them, they didn't dodge.
The energy crystal sealed by the spear—Wu Ye was more familiar with it than Chen Sui.
It was the space energy crystal that, after being extracted from her mental domain, was sealed by Zhu Jing Stone, no longer accessible, only able to be sealed by them at the bottom of the Rust-Red Sea. The energy within was enough to turn the entire Rust-Red Sea into their domain.
This was also the only place in the entire God-Abandoned Domain that Wu Ye couldn't touch.
The black holes in the ram's head's eye sockets looked at Chen Sui, conveying somewhat dangerous emotions.
Chen Sui had already become Wood God's host. They would not allow any factor to affect Wood God's descent!
Wu Ye raised their head, the ram's mouth opening to emit a roar that could resound throughout the entire God-Abandoned Domain.
Sound waves accompanied by energy fluctuations spread out. Chen Sui's figure was controlled for a second, Red General swinging, a space barrier erected in front of Chen Sui. The mecha instantly disappeared, directly appearing before Wu Ye.
The spear rushed straight toward Wu Ye's position, fiercely thrusting at them.
"Bang!"
Wu Ye's hand pushed forward, a space wall intercepting. Black mist flew out from behind them, gesticulating wildly. The tentacles behind Wu Ye extended, covering the entire ground in just a few blinks. The suckers on the tentacles left trails of mucus, their writhing posture making one's skin crawl.
"I told you, you cannot kill me. Wood God has granted us the qualification for eternal life."
Wu Ye sneered across an invisible wall.
Song Baining, watching the surging black mist and tentacles spread throughout the small town and still extending outward, hearing Wu Ye say these words, thought of the scene of the God-Abandoned Domain clearance mission ten years ago.
The news that the main energy bodies had no energy crystals was exchanged for with blood and sacrifice by the Border Army.
Her teammate Vina was one of the verifiers.
Because energy crystals couldn't be sensed, the slain main energy body was trapped in a space cage, finally adopting a self-destructive posture, damaging the energy body's energy crystal, leading to the energy body's ten-year parasitism plan.
Song Baining raised her hand, her eyes flickering with some suppressed stillness.
She didn't know who the mecha driver before her was, where she came from, or even what position she held in the team. But because she was parasitized, Song Baining was now absolutely clear that, barring the unexpected, the Star Alliance had definitely fallen into chaos, and the only chance to resolve this pan-territorial riot.
It was on her.
The host parasitized by Wood-Born Flower also possessed the opportunity to tame Wood-Born Flower!
"Villains die from talking too much!"
Chen Sui critiqued sharply, her attack underneath not weakening at all. But the energy wall in front of Wu Ye was exceptionally solid, showing no signs of shattering even when impacted by the space energy crystal carried by Red General.
Just as the two were at a standoff, Song Baining's action of intercepting the black mist paused. She noticed that Wu Ye's tentacles seemed to have changed.
Invisible energy was gathered by the tentacles. If the energy concentration of the God-Abandoned Domain were mapped as contour lines, Wu Ye's position would definitely be the highest point of all equipotential lines, decreasing sequentially outward. The entire God-Abandoned Domain's energy was converging here.
Song Baining looked up toward the high sky. She knew that military school student wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
Energy gathered from the entire God-Abandoned Domain was no longer something that could be countered by a single awakened individual or energy body.
