"Even Yan Liren's attack is completely ineffective?"
Li Yao was secretly shocked.
Of all the human experts, although Yan Liren's level was not the highest, his unparalleled attack ability and unpredictable sword arts were enough to make him one of the top five experts, if not the top three. Even his full-strength attack could not deal any damage to the indigo godfiend? How was it possible?
No. It was not completely harmless. Li Yao's eyes were sharp enough to notice that the indigo godfiend's legs were deeply submerged in the ocean of bubbles. Also, dozens of pink tentacles were spreading out of the ocean of bubbles and wriggling all the way to its crotch and waist, as if infinite cells and strength were being transmitted into its body.
The indigo godfiend was not a lone monster but a clone condensed by the ocean of bubbles. No matter how badly it was hurt and how many cells were destroyed, the ocean of bubbles would immediately send the same number of cells to it, allowing it to keep growing and expanding crazily all the time. Any injury could be healed instantly.
In other words, Li Yao and the other human experts, as well as the primeval experts such as the Moon Gazers, were not faced with a monster at all but an entire ocean of bubbles. It was an astronomical 'super cell condensation' that boasted independent lives and wills!
What is it exactly? Is it some sort of … tumor?
Li Yao swallowed hard.
Infinite expansion, infinite proliferation, infinite division, and infinite growth. Such a weird feature reminded Li Yao of a special cell — cancer cells!
Huala! Huala! Huala!
Aooo! Aooo! Aooo!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
While all the experts were stuck in a stalemate because of the indigo godfiend, three gargantuan monsters suddenly crawled out of the ocean of bubbles nearby.
One of the monsters looked like a hybrid of a griffin and a hydra. It had blood-red bone wings and skin, as well as nine heads that looked like vipers.
The other monster looked like an overlord squid that had been enlarged hundreds of times. It was entangled with a super large jellyfish. Colorful and demonic colors bloomed around its body as it floated in the air. Dozens of tentacles hung in the sea of bubbles to absorb powerful cells and strength.
The last monster, on the other hand, looked like an agile cheetah or wolf. Its waist was like a bow, its limbs were like blades, and its head was like a giant water droplet. It was streamlined from head to toe and gave people a strong feeling of speed. However, it did not have the skin or shell that normal advanced creatures should have. Instead, its muscles that were full of explosive power were directly exposed to the air, and it was only slightly protected by clusters of light red mucus. It looked like it was skinned alive, and its face, which was full of crisscrossing muscle fibers, and its two giant eyeballs, which were bulging out of their sockets, stared at the human experts. It gave people goosebumps and chills.
The four monsters, or "godfiends", surrounded the dozens of Colossi of the experts of human beings from the east, south, and west directions.
Although the dozens of Colossi of the experts of human beings had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, they did not have the slightest psychological advantage when faced with the ocean of bubbles that was rising nonstop and raising surging tides.
One indigo godfiend was already enough to attract the firepower of all the Colossi. How were they going to deal with the three that looked even more ferocious?
If all the monsters boasted indestructible spiritual shields and terrifying abilities of instant self-healing, they would be the clones of the ocean of bubbles. How were they going to fight the battle?
Besides —
Li Yao's pupils constricted violently as he stared at the "venomous jellyfish" that was floating in midair in the southwest.
On the head of the monster, there was a shadow that was slightly thinner and smaller. It looked somewhat familiar. It was exactly Gu Wuxin, the leader of the Divine Palace who had one of his arms ripped off and fallen into the magma when he was attacked by "Mie Zhongdao" and "Dragon Lotus Seed" together in the depths of the "great snow mountain" earlier!
Li Yao had thought that Gu Wuxin had been obliterated in the magma and burnt into ash. But out of his expectation, not only was there not the slightest trace of the magma on his body, even his broken arm had grown back. It was even thicker and more hideous than before, with bone blades that could cut iron as easily as mud and crystals that contained immense energy on the surface, releasing visible heat.
"How did this happen?"
The Moon Gazer could barely believe her eyes. Li Yao could clearly sense her shock and sorrow. "You are our leader and the most distinguished researcher. How — how did you —"
"I should've thought of it a long time ago. The series of anomalies that took place inside and outside the primordial relic, from the decision to study the captives of the Flood Army to the weird teleportation arrays that corrupted the Supreme Towers, and of course, the endless tides of ferocious beasts, were all behind the scenes. It couldn't have been outsiders such as' Mie Zhongdao 'and' Dragon Lotus Seed '. It could only have been someone who was very familiar with the situation inside the primordial relic and was closest to the captives of the Flood Army. That would've been you,' Gu Wuxin ', the leader of the Divine Palace!"
Li Yao's eyes were filled with gold and blood. His face had never been so solemn before. "It seems that when the Pangu fleet and the Flood Army first encountered each other hundreds of thousands of years ago, the enemy seemed to have been defeated, but in fact, they were corrupted by the enemy. Under the enemy's influence, they decided to put the two research bases together.
"In the thousands of years that followed, the strength of the Flood Army influenced the people in the Divine Palace bit by bit through the captives or magical equipment of the Flood Army. Finally, thousands of years later, one of the most important subordinates was transformed into you, Gu Wuxin, the leader of the Divine Palace!
"You were the one who leaked most of the critical intelligence in the Divine Palace, weren't you? It was you who intentionally told 'Mie Zhongdao' and 'Dragon Lotus Seed', the two ambitious, brutal commanders about the Divine Palace, including its advanced technology and powerful magical equipment, in order to provoke their greed and fear so that they would attack the primordial relic.
"As for the so-called monster virus, it turned most of the intelligent races in the primordial era into inhumane, insane monsters. I'm afraid that you or your 'seniors' added fuel to the fire and fanned the flames.
"As for your purpose, let me think about it. You probably didn't care about the ultimate test at all. From the very beginning, you wanted to stir up trouble and attract everyone's attention to the ultimate test. It would've been best if the troops of 'Mie Zhongdao' and 'Dragon Lotus Seed' and most of the guardians of the Divine Palace suffered great losses in Heaven's Path Tower and perished together. Then, you would've left Heaven's Path Tower under the disguise of 'fake death' and arrived at the 47th District. You would've repaired the teleportation arrays and starships without any scruples and sent messages to the depths of the Flood Army at the center of Universe Ocean outside the Pangu universe!
"What an insidious plan.
"You almost succeeded. In your plan, nobody could resist the temptation of the ultimate test. Both 'Mie Zhongdao', 'Dragon Lotus Seed', and all the people in the Divine Palace except for you would've considered the primordial heritages as their only life-saving straw when they had no other choice. All the experts would've been gathered in Heaven's Path Tower. Nobody would've noticed the anomaly in the 47th District at all. I'm afraid that when the ultimate test failed again and all the creatures were erased, you would've already left on your Flood warship through the Rainbow Bridge, wouldn't you?
"It's a pity that you neglected an unexpected factor, which was the mainframe crystal processor of the Divine Palace, the other half of Fuxi!
"I finally understand why the other half of Fuxi suggested that you activate the 'time warp manipulation magical equipment' to seal and freeze the entire primeval relic.
"I thought that the other half of Fuxi vaguely foresaw that a new hope, namely human beings, would emerge hundreds of thousands of years later. But on second thought, such an idea was too narcissistic. However impressive the computational ability of the other half of Fuxi was, it couldn't have predicted the rise of the civilization of mankind hundreds of thousands of years later, could it?
"It was not until now that I learned that the other half of Fuxi did not foresee the rise of the civilization of mankind, but it keenly captured your anomaly.
"It should've warned everybody in the Divine Palace, but I estimated that, as the leader of the Divine Palace, you must've had the highest permissions to manipulate it and made it operate from the bottom level. Logically speaking, it was impossible for it to point out that you were a puppet of the Flood or disclose such important information to other people. Any hostility it showed would've been detected and manipulated by you immediately. It couldn't stop you but could only try to buy you more time.
"Therefore, it chose the only strategy that was more feasible from all the targeted strategies and delayed your evil plan for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Although you were the leader of the Divine Palace, you couldn't have denied the rationalization proposal proposed by the mainframe crystal processor without a suitable reason, which would've raised the suspicion of more researchers. Besides, you didn't think that anything would've happened if you delayed it for hundreds of thousands of years. After all, the Pangu civilization outside had already declined, and all the intelligent lives in the primordial relic had been sealed. Even if they woke up one day, you would've been one of the first few to do so. Nobody could've stopped you from transmitting information to the outside of the Pangu universe.
"You didn't expect that the civilization of mankind would rise so quickly and be as strong as it is today after only a hundred thousand years.
"You also didn't expect that the 'ultimate test' that had never been cracked for billions of years would've been cracked by us, so much so that we appeared in front of your eyes before your Rainbow Bridge and your Flood warship were ready.
"Admit it, Gu Wuxin. You have completely lost yourself and become the Flood's lackey and minion. You are a poor worm without a soul!"
