BOOM!
The corpses and iron debris that were piled up in the pathway were finally blown over by the defenders outside.
The defenders were led by more than ten Super Heavy Crystal Suits, followed by a couple of light crystal tanks. Who could have foreseen that a monster as dreadful as Li Yao would sneak into their secret laboratory? Such a force was the best that the internal defense of the floating fortress could do for now.
Li Yao did not bother to look at the weak toys at all. He opened his legs casually and raised his left arm horizontally. Every scale that covered his arm stood up like an infuriated hedgehog. The Six Barreled Revolving Crystal Railguns around his left arm revolved at a high speed, raising a ferocious tornado.
Streaks of brilliance were born in the tornado. Together with the spluttering electric arcs, they congregated into a storm of destruction. Chi! Chi!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Earsplitting noises of metal fatigue echoed below Li Yao's feet.
The floor made of super alloys turned hot orange under the savaging of the spiritual energy at first. Then, it was as soft as mud and almost melted.
Just how high was the temperature surging out from under his feet?!
"Close your eyes."
Li Yao said casually to Chu Zhiyun and the other 'heretics'. "You'll go blind."
Half a second later, his left arm erupted like a volcano!
The torrent of destruction entangled the magma with electric arcs, and the magma roared out in the form of a pillar of light. The diameter of the pillar of light instantly expanded to more than five meters, and the blast wave simply blew away all the 'children of heresy'.
Even though they were not Li Yao's targets, they still felt suffocated by the barrage. There was no need for Li Yao's reminder. None of the young men could open their eyes under such a terrifying attack.
Even though they closed their eyes and covered their faces with their hands, they could still feel that the scorching light was stimulating their eyes brutally. Their eyeballs seemed to be pierced by thousands of needles, and they were scared that they were about to go blind.
Roars that sounded like surging tides were echoing in their ears. They felt that the entire floating fortress — no, the entire planet — was about to collapse in the next second!
Half a minute later, the waves gradually subsided. Only then did the bravest boy among them dare to slightly open his sore eyes and look at the outside environment through the gaps between his fingers.
They were all gone. The defenders who had filled the tunnel and wanted to rush in had all disappeared. It was as if they had been blown into fine powder by Li Yao's casual cannon and were completely annihilated in the electric arcs and magma.
Even the pathway, which was made of super alloys, could not bear Li Yao's fury any longer. The ceiling and the walls around were completely melted. Liquid metal flowed down and solidified with the debris of the Crystal Suit and the crystal tank, completely blocking the pathway.
Looking at Li Yao again, his left arm was still immersed in the extremely high temperature, emitting a dark red luster, and wisps of white smoke curled up from his fingertips.
But he was completely focused on the crude cannon in midair — the 'super crystal destructive cannon' made of dozens of super-compressed crystal reactors. He extended his right arm into the operation hole at the back of the cannon.
It was as if his right arm had deformed and expanded to ten times the size of his body!
The 'children of heresy' immediately bulged their eyes, and their blood was freezing.
Just now, a casual attack with his left arm already boasted such appalling power.
Right now, with the energy of dozens of crystal reactors condensed in his right arm, how unbelievable would the damage be?
Were they dreaming?
If they were dreaming, it must be the most terrible nightmare!
No, they rarely dreamt. Even if they dreamt, with their poor imagination, they would never be able to imagine such a terrifying scene!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
While the 'children of heresy' were panicking, earsplitting noises were echoing on the cabin walls. As it turned out, Li Yao had unfolded his soul and ripped off hundreds of curved iron plates with bright gold tentacles, blocking the young people and the operation table.
"Lie down, close your eyes, and slightly open your mouth. Otherwise, your internal organs will be shattered into a pool of pus and blood."
Li Yao said.
The 'children of heresy' looked at each other in bewilderment. Did they have a second choice?
At this moment, all the adults in the preparation room had been terminated by Li Yao, except for Zhou Xiuyun's 3D phantom, who was still staring at him in a twisted posture.
"It's you."
She was dazed for a long time. She seemed to be sending a request for data retrieval to a leader of a higher level, only to receive an effective response. Her lips curled into a vague smile as she said, "Refining and modification skills as fast as lightning, unparalleled damage, and … rashly entering the enemy's territory on your own … We already know who you are. You are walking right into our trap!"
"Hehe. Even if you know who I am, so what?"
Li Yao sneered. "A real man never changes his name. Yes, I am the greatest enemy of the Holy League, the one who has just saved the day in the capital and become the pillar of the Imperium of True Human Beings, the most popular person in front of His Majesty, the leader of the Association of Demon Hunters with the highest Cultivation and the most brilliant personality!
"How about it? Scared now?
"It's useless. Even if you have studied me so thoroughly that you have dissected my every cell, and even if you have a hundred ways to kill me, you will never be able to stop me. Under the overwhelming fury of Long Yangjun, you scumbags will all die!"
Zhou Xiuyun was caught in a daze again.
However, she did not seem to be confused about Li Yao's real identity. Instead, she seemed to be wondering how the 'supervillain' who ranked among the top in the dangerous database of the Holy League could be so shameless as to say such bulls * it that nobody would believe.
"All in all, cut the crap. Just wash your neck and wait for me!"
Li Yao grinned hideously. "By the way, you can pray to your 'god' now!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
When he blurted out the word 'pray', the dozens of super-compressed crystal reactors that were connected to his right arm exploded at the same time.
With Li Yao's right arm as the center, a light ball that looked like a supernova was born, expanded, and filled the entire preparation room.
Despite the blockage of iron plates, all the 'children of heresy' still felt that they had been swallowed by the scorching sun and deprived of all their senses such as sight, hearing, smell, and touch.
Enshrouded by the terrifying light ball, time and space lost their significance. They could not even tell whether or not they were still alive!
When the triple-barreled main guns of the super arsenal warship roared at the maximum output, the feeling of crouching inside the barrel was nothing more than that.
It felt like every inch of their skin had been burnt, their nerves and veins had been ripped apart, and even their cells had been melted into the destructive waves, turning into angry ripples!
It was not until perhaps one second, or perhaps an entire day later, that their cells, veins, nerves, muscles, fat, skin, and internal organs gradually returned to their original position, allowing them to sense their real existence again.
Everything around them, on the other hand, was already beyond recognition.
Other than them who were protected by the iron plates, the cabin walls nearby had been burnt into blackness, with cracks and uneven contortions that looked like spider webs.
In the direction that Li Yao's right arm was pointing at, an immeasurably deep orange hole had been blown out. The hole was like a tunnel dug out by a drill of mystic rays that led straight to the control room at the core of the floating fortress. The smell of burning metal was still spreading out from the hole.
Zhou Xiuyun's 3D phantom was gone. Even the seemingly sacred light had been obliterated by Li Yao's frenzied bloody flames.
"Hu … Hu … Hu …"
Li Yao controlled Thangka's chest to rise and fall quickly for ten seconds. It was also the only anomaly after his world-shaking blast.
Then, Li Yao snapped his fingers softly.
The broken remains of the giant cannon fell off from his right arm, but some of the pieces flew out in bloody streaks and hit the shackles of the 'children of heresy' precisely, shattering all of them.
The 'children of heresy' warmed up their sore limbs, still at a loss for what to do.
"Now that you are clear about your identities, there are only two paths before you."
Li Yao said, "You can either crawl into the channel that was dug out by brute force with me and fight for freedom and hope that are even more remote than 1%, or you can stay here obediently and wait for the new purge troop to come, where you will be tied up and modified again for decades of experiments, just like … them."
The 'children of heresy' naturally knew who 'them' that Li Yao was talking about.
Not to mention the students who had been tortured and even turned into brains in a vat when they were first captured, the students in front of them who had just received the preliminary modification surgeries and whose brains had been melted with metal helmets and thick crystal cables were definitely not an outcome that they could tolerate.
"Who … Who are you exactly?"
Taking a deep breath, Chu Zhiyun could not help but ask, "Are you a god or a devil? How did you … arrive at Thangka's body? How is Thangka? Will she be alright after you used such immense strength?"
"Look around you."
Li Yao said casually, "Do you see a floating fortress?"
"… Of course."
Chu Zhiyun did not understand what Li Yao meant. "Aren't we inside a floating fortress?"
"That's right. It means that I am still carefully controlling my strength. Thangka will be fine."
Li Yao said, "If I had really exploited her body to the maximum blatantly, the floating fortress would've been gone a long time ago!"
"Huh?"
Chu Zhiyun and all the 'children of heresy' bulged their eyes.
"As for whether I am a 'god' or a 'devil', it is a meaningless question."
Li Yao said, one word after another, "Remember. Always remember that the so-called 'gods and devils' are just a definition that human beings created themselves. In other words, human beings created 'gods and devils', not the other way around.
