Chapter 315 A self-fulfilling prophecy! A complete disaster!
The metal soles of the boots made a dull thud as they stepped onto the greasy wire mesh floor.
Buck walked ahead, his body pressed against the wall, his steps very light.
At the end of the passage was a heavy alloy door.
"Sir, we've arrived." Buck stopped and pointed to the gate.
"The power room is inside. The source of contamination is located on the central reactor. It absorbs the entire mine's backup energy, and its outer shell is extremely hard."
Buck lowered his voice and added, "The scariest part is that full-screen mental pollution."
"Once the red indicator light on its chest lights up, it will release a sonic shockwave that can reach every corner. Our previous guard team was driven insane by that move."
Chen You nodded to indicate that he had heard.
He stepped forward, raised his right leg, and kicked the alloy door.
"Bang!"
The heavy alloy door, weighing several tons, caved inward with a piercing metallic twisting sound before collapsing with a crash onto the floor of the power room, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Buck shrank back in fright.
This official's style of doing things is too brutal.
Chen You stepped into the power room.
The space here is even larger than the sorting plaza outside.
The dome was extremely high, and an unknown liquid dripped from a network of crisscrossing metal pipes.
A massive mechanical reactor stands in the center.
Above the reactor, a mechanical monster over ten meters tall was coiled up.
It has no fixed form; it is pieced together from countless scrapped mining cars, robotic arms, tracks, and huge audio equipment.
At the core of the monster is a crystal that emits a ghostly blue light.
Hearing the sound of the gate collapsing, the mechanical monster turned its head.
It was a head made up of three giant trumpets.
"Buzz—"
A piercing electrical hum echoed in the power room.
The metal parts on the monster's body began to rub together violently, sparks flying everywhere.
Buck, hiding outside the gate, poked half his head out: "Sir! It's about to start! Stop it or find cover!"
Chen You stood still.
He watched as the layers of armor on the monster's chest cracked open, revealing a huge generator emitting a red glow inside.
The red light grew brighter and brighter, and a piercing frequency began to vibrate in the air.
Tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the surrounding metal pipes—a prelude to the full-screen sonic impact.
Chen You casually raised his hand and pointed, filling the entire power room with an extremely sharp aura.
The fourth move of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique: Closing the Moon.
Chen You did not unleash any substantial sword energy.
He simply focused his sword intent on the red generator at the core of the mechanical monster, which was about to erupt.
Gas blockade.
The violent energy fluctuations inside the power chamber instantly ceased.
The red light on the mechanical monster's chest flashed briefly before fading completely.
Its head, composed of three speakers, made a "click-click" sound, and the full-screen sound waves that were about to burst out were forcibly pushed back into its belly by an invisible force.
The monster's massive body froze in place.
The energy backlash caused the gears and pipes inside its body to burst one after another, spewing out large plumes of black smoke.
When the meridians become stagnant, the person enters a state of absolute silence and rigidity.
"That's it?" Chen You scoffed.
He pushed off with his feet, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
When it reappeared, it had already leaped into the air, level with the core crystal of the mechanical monster.
The Jade Emperor Sword slashed down from above, unleashing a dazzling golden arc of light.
The blade sliced through the monster's hard shell without encountering any resistance.
A golden arc of light pierced through the mechanical monster's body, splitting it in two.
What appears to be a simple and unadorned sword strike actually inflicts multiple instances of damage in an instant.
"Boom!"
The massive mechanical wreckage crashed to the ground, its parts scattered everywhere.
The monster's health bar instantly dropped to zero.
Sold out instantly.
Buck, who was hiding outside the door, opened his mouth wide and even forgot to breathe.
He knew this person was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.
The mine's security team, which had lost hundreds of lives but couldn't eliminate the ultimate cancer, turned into a pile of scrap metal without even making a single move.
Chen You landed, twirled his sword, and sheathed the Jade Emperor Sword.
The battle ended too quickly; he didn't even have time to warm up.
Just as Chen You was about to go forward to check the fallen items, the mechanical debris on the ground suddenly changed.
The core crystal, which had been split in two, did not extinguish; instead, it emitted a blinding scarlet light.
The energy inside the crystal began to compress and expand at an extremely rapid pace.
A piercing alarm suddenly blared in the power room.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
The frequency increased rapidly, and the red light illuminated the entire space in a blood-red hue.
Buck's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he screamed at the top of his lungs, "Sir! It's the core self-destruct program! Run!"
Chen You's expression changed.
He had not anticipated this mechanism at all.
The red light had completely enveloped Chen You, and the energy had expanded to a critical point.
Chen You instinctively put his hands in front of him to protect himself.
Judging from the strength of this boss, even if it self-destructs, it should be able to withstand it.
"boom--!!!"
The deafening explosion ripped apart the dome of the power room.
A violent energy shockwave, mixed with molten metal fragments, spread wildly in all directions.
The entire Zangxing Mine was shaking violently.
At the outer entrance.
The players, who were anxiously waiting, felt a violent tremor beneath their feet and their expressions changed.
"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"
"What happened inside? That's making such a commotion!"
Bloodbath Sweet gripped his greatsword, staring intently at the portal: "That's definitely the sound of two ultimate attacks clashing. The Wanderer God must be inside, locked in a fierce battle with the final boss!"
Everyone nodded, the tragic scene of the wandering god fighting a bloody battle appearing in their minds.
Inside the power unit.
The smoke and dust from the explosion gradually dissipated.
The originally flat metal ground was blasted into a huge crater several meters deep.
The surrounding walls all melted and collapsed.
In the center of the ruins, Chen You lay at the bottom of a charred pit.
His fashion item, the Ink Abyss Star River Robe, was dim, his face was covered in dust, and his hair was disheveled.
Chen You opened his eyes, panting heavily.
My heart was pounding, and my back was soaked in cold sweat.
[HP: 1/11386]
Chen You stared at the "1", feeling as if he could stop breathing.
The damage from that explosion completely exceeded my maximum health!
It means that the [Heavenly Mandate Stone - Undying Body] has taken effect.
Chen You swallowed hard; his hands and feet were ice-cold.
Almost.
It was just a little bit short.
"This crappy game is insane!" Chen You cursed through gritted teeth.
The difference in the values from these self-destructions is just too huge!
He climbed out of the pit and brushed the scorched earth off his body.
He decided that from now on, no matter what kind of monster he was fighting, he would have to step back and observe for five minutes whenever his health bar was depleted.
Who knows when the game designers might leave a plot hole!
Stability is the only truth for survival.
"Cough cough cough..."
A violent coughing sound came from the ruins not far away.
A twisted metal plate was pushed aside, and Buck emerged, covered in dust.
Seeing that things were going badly, he crawled into an abandoned ventilation duct, thus escaping disaster.
Buck scrambled over to Chen You, looked him up and down with a look of awe in his eyes.
"My lord! You...you actually survived the core self-destruction! You are simply a god descended to earth!"
Chen You glared at him irritably.
"Is this how you treat a special envoy?"
Buck was so terrified that he immediately knelt on the ground, waving his hands frantically: "My lord, please understand! I swear, I really didn't know it would self-destruct!"
"The previous guards couldn't even break its shell; no one had ever seen it with its health bar completely depleted!"
Chen You ignored him.
He walked to the location of the reactor where the mechanical monster had been entrenched.
The place has been blown into a huge crater.
Chen You looked down and his gaze sharpened.
The explosion not only destroyed the reactor but also breached the metal foundation at the bottom of the power room.
Beneath the foundation, a deep, black passage was revealed.
The edges of the passage entrance were extremely irregular, as if they had been violently torn apart.
There were no lights inside, only a dark and profound atmosphere that flowed slowly.
Chen You turned to look at Buck, pointing to the dark passageway: "What's this?"
Buck looked in the direction Chen You was pointing and froze.
He got up from the ground, walked to the edge of the pit, and peered down.
After staring at it for a while, Buck rubbed his eyes, looking completely bewildered.
"My lord...this...this is impossible."
