"The Xinyuan Priest Temple is conducting experiments related to the Xinyuan heritage …"
"And the Darknet is also conducting the same experiments. This …"
…
Old Aidan and the others did not hide anything from the middle-aged man. Given the urgency of the situation, it was only natural that they picked the most crucial secrets. They quickly told him about the unusual movements of some of the major forces on the continent and the Sea-Ao Empire.
The middle-aged man's expression kept changing, obviously shocked by the news.
This reaction made Old Aidan and the others feel a little strange. The middle-aged man was so powerful, and his bearing was extraordinary. Even if his identity was fake, he must have come from a great force. Why did it seem like he knew nothing about these secrets?
Of course, this was not surprising. Some ancient forces had been completely cut off from the outside world a long time ago. For example, the descendants of Cercis were almost the same …
"This situation is not good!"
The middle-aged man sighed and revealed a big secret. After the Hundred Year War, whether it was the Xinyuan Priest Temple, the Darknet, or the Sacred Palace, they all knew something about the Grand Star Ao County Palace. The higher-ups of the three forces even made an agreement to deal with the corrupted tree spirit together.
"It seems like the Xinyuan Priest Temple and the Darknet have been infiltrated and controlled by the corrupted tree spirit …" The middle-aged man's expression was solemn.
The middle-aged man's expression was solemn. It wasn't too troublesome for these two forces to be infiltrated.
After all, whether it was the Xinyuan Priest Temple or the Darknet, they were not that terrifying in terms of military strength.
However, the research of the Xinyuan heritage and the bloodline of the beasts had always been the best on the continent.
The origin of these monsters was most likely the corrupted tree spirit. They used the research results of the two forces to create monsters that were completely different from the Dryad Warriors.
The expressions of Old Aidan and the others changed as well. They did not doubt the authenticity of the speculation, because the situation in the Elven Mausoleum was very similar. If the corrupted Tree Spirit had corrupted that evil creature, it was very likely that a similar catastrophe would have happened.
"The most troublesome thing now is how to break the defense here …"
The middle-aged man looked up at the terrifying whirlwinds in the distance. He knew that breaking these whirlwinds was useless because new whirlwinds would soon be born.
He needed to break the defense here to stop the continuous birth of these whirlwinds …
"Will things go smoothly at the control center?"
The middle-aged man mumbled to himself. He thought of the "Mr. Chuan" that Old Aidan and the others mentioned, that ridiculously young mental energy powerhouse.
Admittedly, the middle-aged man didn't think there was any problem with his strength, but whether he could control the control center was another matter.
The situation in the Imperial Palace was far from what he had expected. There had probably been some changes in the control center of the Imperial Palace. If those mechanical devices were destroyed, it would be too difficult to repair them.
"Is Mr. Chuan accompanied by a skilled Mechanic …"
When the middle-aged man thought of this, he felt a headache coming on. If there were no Machinists on the other side, they might not even know how to operate the machinery.
After all, a martialist was completely different from a Mechanic. Many things that were very simple in the eyes of a Mechanic were a hundred times more difficult in the eyes of a martialist than cultivating the best techniques.
Just then —
From the depths of the imperial palace came a rumbling sound. Holes appeared in every direction, and beams of resplendent electromagnetic light waves gushed out, instantly piercing through the light pillar cage that enveloped the imperial palace.
This scene caused the people inside and outside the palace to raise their heads in shock. They saw that the light pillar cage was pierced with many large holes, and then it rapidly disintegrated.
"Roar …"
To the west of the imperial palace, from the mausoleum shrouded in black fog, a furious roar came from it, as if something terrifying had awakened.
"Go, go quickly …"
"Leave the imperial palace quickly …"
Many people were overjoyed, and immediately ran toward the large holes. If they didn't escape now, when the defense of the imperial palace was repaired again, they would really want to cry, but no tears would come.
Compared to these people who wanted to escape, there were also people from outside the imperial palace who wanted to enter. Teams after teams rushed toward the large holes, and met the people who were escaping.
Boom, boom, boom …
At this moment, in the sky above the Great Star Ao County, a steel fortress suddenly appeared, as if it had jumped out from a crack in space. Tens of thousands of cannons extended from all around the fortress, their muzzles flashing with energy light waves. After charging, the heavy cannons poured out their firepower, bombarding the entire city indiscriminately.
"Hahaha … Die, all of you die …"
In the control room at the top of the steel fortress, Lady Rain stood there, overlooking the entire Imperial Palace, laughing maniacally.
The right side of her body had already changed, showing a snake state, covered in scales that extended all the way to her neck.
Wisps of black gas gushed out from her body, but they were absorbed by the equipment in the control room, unable to further corrode her body.
"After so many years of investigation, I finally found out the source of my body's change. It turned out to be that son of a b * tch in the imperial palace …
"You want to control me and make me your puppet? Dream on …"
Lady Rain growled, took out a box of medicine, and injected it all into the left side of her body. Then, she pressed a huge red button in the control room.
Rumble …
The steel fortress shook violently, giving off a dazzling brilliance. Then, like a meteor, it fell toward the west of the imperial palace.
Looking at the light screen, the ground that kept getting clearer and clearer, Lady Rain laughed maniacally, her eyes filled with determination.
In her mind, pieces of memories appeared. From the moment she was born, she had sensed the abnormality of her body. She was different from ordinary humans.
She had originally thought that this was a kind of beast bloodline, but when she was a child, she discovered that this was a mutation, a mutation that had never been heard of before.
Fortunately, she was extremely talented. At a very young age, she began to study her body, constantly trying all kinds of methods to contain this mutation.
After that, she obtained the legacy of the continent's madman, Cromwell, and her strength grew further. She also understood that the source of her body's mutation should be in the Great Star Ao County …
After many years of secret operations, she thought that she had already controlled the mutation of her body. It was not until recently that a strange thought appeared in her mind. Only then did she truly understand where the source of all this came from …
That source was hidden in the west of the imperial palace, a terrifying thing that had never appeared …
"Shall we perish together?!"
Looking at the light screen, at the ground that was about to collide, Lady Rain closed her eyes.
Rumble …
The steel fortress fell into the black fog, and then there was a dull sound of a collision, but there was no sound of an explosion.
A moment later, a huge object suddenly rushed out of the black fog. It was the steel fortress. What was different from before was that this steel fortress had ten pairs of steel legs and a huge steel head. It rampaged through the imperial palace, and the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose of the steel head constantly spewed out flames. Everywhere it passed became a sea of fire.
Be it the rampaging monsters or the powerhouses, none could withstand the attack of this huge steel monster, and in an instant, there were countless casualties …
"F * ck … What the hell is this?!"
"Isn't that the steel fortress …"
Old Aidan and the others were dumbfounded. They were just lamenting that Lady Rain's steel fortress was destroyed just like that.
In the blink of an eye, the steel fortress had become a terrifying monster, killing its way out of the black fog with unimaginable power.
The middle-aged man's expression became even uglier. He already understood that the polluted tree spirit hidden in the black fog had mastered a terrifying technique. Not only could it corrode living beings, but it could also corrode mechanical devices.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle …
At this moment, the voice of the Moon Core came from the earpiece of Old Aidan and the others.
"Don't worry, everyone. Communication has been established and your situation is being analyzed …"
"Enemy confirmed. Countermeasures established. Elven fortress ready to fire …"
…
While the group was still in a daze, the outline of the mausoleum fortress appeared in midair outside the distant Ao County City. On top of it, a huge energy crystal floated, flashing constantly. Boom!
A huge silver blade of light shot out, and in the blink of an eye, it had already cut into the imperial palace, piercing through the steel monster.
Rip … The silver blade of light cut through the steel monster, leaving a long mark. Then, the steel monster exploded in the middle, and a huge flame rushed out.
"Moon Core, you're really too strong!"
"As expected of the most powerful war AI core …"
…
Old Aidan and the others cheered and praised the Moon Core with all their might, but the latter was unmoved. It was an AI, and these praises were all nonsense to it.
"West of the imperial palace, near the mausoleum. There is an energy reaction similar to that of an evil creature. Please head there as soon as possible …"
"The danger level of this thing is equivalent to that of a fully awakened evil creature. We must eliminate it as soon as possible …"
After analyzing the situation, the Moon Core quickly gave a horrifying conclusion. If this terrifying thing could not be eliminated within three days, its power would be unstoppable, and the entire Great Eastern Continent would fall within half a year.
This situation was actually similar to the situation in the Elven mausoleum, where the evil creature had completely awakened.
The corrupted tree spirit in the imperial palace was actually very similar to that evil creature. It was equivalent to a creature of another level, and its power was too corrosive. Once these monsters were allowed to spread, it would be like a terrifying plague, and the entire continent would fall within a few years.
"That's right. That's it …"
The middle-aged man spoke in a deep voice. His figure flashed, and he had already disappeared, heading toward the depths of the imperial palace.
Old Aidan and the others shouted from behind, but how could they catch up with the middle-aged man's speed? They could only watch as he quickly disappeared into the distance.
"Should we follow him?" Fowler asked timidly.
Old Aidan glared at him and cursed, "If we don't go now, we'll all be in trouble if this terrifying monster survives …"
Suddenly, the roaring sound of engines was heard from the entrance of the imperial palace. Hover cars rushed in, and there were also cavalry troops appearing.
The Military Department, the Garrison Department, and the Imperial Knights had long gathered outside the imperial palace, but they had not been able to enter. Now, they could finally enter.
An intense battle broke out again. For the first time, the three major armed forces of the empire worked together to fight against the monsters that were constantly surging out.
Old Aidan and the others were very conflicted. At this time, they should meet up with Hayashi River and the others, but the situation in the imperial palace was too chaotic. They were at the opposite ends of Hayashi River's inner city, and it would be too time-consuming to do so.
However, Old Aidan and the others were also very clear that it would not bode well for them to enter the western side of the imperial palace with their own strength.
At this time, another batch of troops rushed in. These soldiers were all tall and strong, and they were wearing the same Heart Origin Equipment. They exuded an extremely chilling aura.
"Old Man Hua …"
"The Centaur Legion is here …"
At this moment, a group of Centaur Race soldiers charged in with Man Hua in the lead.
"Where is Mister Chuan and the others?"
Man Hua quickly arrived with a spear in his hand and asked in a deep voice.
Old Aidan and the others quickly explained the current situation. When the middle-aged man was mentioned, Man Hua revealed a look of surprise and asked about it carefully.
"Such a powerful human … strange …"
Man Hua muttered in a low voice, but he did not think too much about it. He immediately headed toward the western side of the imperial palace with Old Aidan and the others.
Not far away, seeing this Centaur Legion, the elite troops of the three major forces also chased after them.
These armed forces already had a tacit understanding among themselves. At this moment, all they needed to do was to get through the current crisis first.
The four elite troops formed a formation, looking at each other from head to tail. Their speed suddenly increased, and how could the monsters that rushed out from the surroundings be a match for such elite troops? They were all crushed with a single touch.
Soon, the four troops had already rushed into the western side of the imperial palace. The scene here shocked everyone. There were corpses everywhere, including those of palace servants and guards. All of them had died horribly …
Some people's heads had exploded, but their bodies were empty. It was as if something had eaten up their bodies and then drilled out of their heads …
Some people's stomachs had exploded, and there was something that looked like a fetus beside them. However, it was a small, deformed piece of flesh that looked somewhat similar to a monster …
Blood, minced flesh, and bone fragments were everywhere … The strong smell of blood was nauseating. Even with the filtering of the Heart Origin Helmet, it still made people feel sick to their stomachs.
"Sixth Prince …"
A military general roared. Many factions in the military supported the Sixth Prince, but he did not expect to see the Sixth Prince's corpse here.
This was a badly mangled corpse. If not for the characteristics of its body, it would be impossible to identify it.
The other members of the troops had solemn expressions. When the great change occurred, the princes should have been near the emperor's palace, ready to pay their respects at the first moment.
Now, it seemed that the princes were not in a good situation. It was very likely that they had all been killed …
The four troops came to one side of the palace and looked at the thick black fog in front of them. There was a passageway there, and terrifying shadows were moving about inside, as if waiting for them to enter.
"The culprit behind this great change is inside …"
"Let's charge in together. With our strength, there won't be a problem …"
…
The military and the Imperial Knights' leaders discussed in low voices, but no one was willing to be the first to move. The situation in the black fog was unclear. If they rushed in like this, they would be no different from cannon fodder.
"The troops of the imperial capital are still so weak after a thousand years …"
Man Hua cursed and was already the first to rush in. A group of centaur warriors, Old Aidan, and the others followed closely behind.
Whoosh whoosh …
In the passageway of the black fog, terrifying huge shadows appeared. They were like powerful monsters, but they did not rush towards the centaur army.
These huge shadows actually collided with each other, and then there was a violent explosion in the black fog. These huge shadows actually self-destructed one by one, instantly engulfing the troops that had rushed in.
This scene caused the three troops outside to reveal looks of joy. With such cannon fodder to explore the way, they had avoided a great loss.
Suddenly, rays of light surged. The heart energy equipment on the centaur warriors vibrated, and their auras linked together, actually blocking the series of explosions. They rushed into the black fog and disappeared.
This scene caused the three troops outside to be dumbfounded. The defensive power of the centaur army was somewhat similar to that of the Hundred Years War …
No one could answer this question. Countless monsters appeared all around them, and they were attacking in a frenzy.
…
Boom …
In the black fog, dazzling black lightning wreaked havoc, sweeping towards the centaur army.
Man Hua roared angrily, and his spear spun like a dragon, piercing out, shattering the black lightning.
If one looked closely, they would discover that these were not real lightning, but were formed by the gathering of glowing black insects. As they flew, they carried electricity.
These black lightning insects were extremely terrifying. In the distance, many alloy walls were pierced through, but they could not stop Man Hua's spear.
Behind him, in the centaur army, Old Aidan, Fowler, and the others were excited. With a great master like Man Hua joining them, and then there was the middle-aged man, Mister Chuan, and Mossy Bone … with such a powerful lineup, if they couldn't solve this great change, then perhaps no other powerhouse on the continent could.
"Senior Man Hua, on the right …" Fowler's heart stirred as he sensed something.
Man Hua had already thrown out his spear, piercing through a soft black monster. The spear pierced through its body, and a terrifying spiraling spear energy erupted, directly bursting the monster's insides.
This soft monster that looked like a slug exploded, and many bones splashed out. The stench and the scene made people want to vomit.
"If these monsters are weak, then they really aren't easy to deal with!"
Man Hua's expression was a bit solemn. He turned to look at Fowler, and seeing his clever appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Boy, after this matter is over, temper yourself well. Don't waste such a good talent … "
This black soft monster was extremely good at hiding. Even Man Hua didn't notice it just now, but Fowler noticed it immediately.
Fowler hurriedly agreed, but inwardly muttered, if this great change was over, then there was probably no more danger in this world. Why would he work so hard to improve his strength?
The troops advanced quickly, and soon came to the depths. In front of them, there was a towering black building in the shape of a triangular pyramid.
Around the building, thick black fog surged out, and from time to time, black flying monsters rushed out and circled around the building.
At the top of the building, there was a black crystal that looked like an energy crystal, constantly absorbing black energy, causing the building to continuously grow.
"Is this where the polluted tree spirit's main body is …" Man Hua's expression was somewhat solemn.
At this moment, under the building, masses of black fog gathered together, turning into a huge black shadow that rushed out, accompanied by waves of shrill roars, and a huge eye opened from within.
"Invaders … join us …"
That huge black shadow rushed over, and circle after circle of sound waves spread out, causing experts below realm five to feel dizzy and lose the ability to fight on the spot.
Man Hua's expression was solemn. Holding his spear, he took a step forward and blocked in front of everyone. He felt a considerable amount of pressure, and the huge black shadow's strength was terrifying.
At this moment —
Purple electromagnetic energy waves surged, condensing into a huge hand, and grabbed this huge black shadow.
Then, the purple electromagnetic energy exploded, and countless electromagnetic waves spread out, causing the huge black shadow to become shorter …
A middle-aged man appeared, standing next to Man Hua, and looked askance at the centaur elder, saying, "Unexpected! You are still alive, you are really a scourge that lives for a thousand years … "
"You …"
Man Hua sized up this middle-aged man, and his expression also changed, and darkened, saying, "It really is you … You still have the cheek to call me an old man, you should be a few years older than me …"
