Xu Yi gazed at the black cocoon in front of him, and he really wanted to act imdiately, to snuff out the danger in its infancy, but after pondering for a mont, he held back.
Because he wasn't certain of a fatal blow.
Martin made a gesture for Xu Yi to leave, and Xu Yi nodded. The two of them withdrew to the surface and returned to the safety of the temporary command post.
"Are you sure that's an Evil Deity?" Martin asked aloud.
"It's indeed the aura of an Evil Deity, but..." Xu Yi's eyebrows knit slightly, he pondered for a long ti but couldn't make sense of it.
He rembered Carlyle's dream—if it really was a foretelling dream, the Evil Deity should have appeared in the midst of a vast river.
Perhaps the Evil Deity had been born from the Dissolving Cave and then entered the river?
Xu Yi suddenly thought of another possibility, his thoughts becoming even more chaotic.
"I think we should prepare for both possibilities, regardless of whether the thing in the cave is the Evil Deity or not, we can't relax our search for the Evil Deity." After pondering for a mont, Xu Yi gave his suggestion.
Martin also furrowed his brow, "Personally, I completely agree with your idea, but searching for an Evil Deity requires a lot of manpower and resources, and I don't know if the higher-ups will agree. I can only try my best."
"Maybe things aren't as complicated as you think!" Martin patted Xu Yi on the shoulder, "Relax a little, next, I invite you to watch a fireworks show, one that's extrely splendid."
Martin led Xu Yi to the command center, where the commander ordered in a commanding voice, "Activate the Demon-sealing Magic Array!"
Upon the command, a blue and red light lit up in the distance, Xu Yi looked towards the Ar Mountains and exclaid, "What an enormous undertaking!"
The Demon-sealing Magic Array is quite common, not too complicated to inscribe, but the one before them enveloped half of the Ar Mountains, its scope terrifying to behold.
But what kind of attack requires the use of an Array with such a wide range? Xu Yi was puzzled.
"It's a good thing the Evil Deity chose such a remote place for its tamorphosis, otherwise it would be harder to handle," Martin suddenly exclaid.
Before Xu Yi could ask, the commander issued a new order through the communicator, "All units begin self-check… Self-check complete, ignition countdown, 5, 4… 3, 2, 1! Ignite and launch!"
Following the commander's order, a loud noise ca from not far away, and a burst of fire shot into the sky, trailing a long tail of flas, soaring into the high altitude.
"Missiles?" Xu Yi was sowhat puzzled.
Using missiles against an Evil Deity seed a little unreliable, didn't it?
Missiles surely wield trendous power, but the idea of killing an Evil Deity with them was practically impossible.
"Just watch, and you'll understand, these are not ordinary missiles," Martin said, sensing Xu Yi's confusion and explained softly.
As the missile reached its zenith, it then plumted, its trailing Golden Tail like a resplendent sword of light, piercing into Stone Mountain.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a rumble as the missile collided with Stone Mountain.
The missile bore through, unstoppably, those solid rocks crumbling like foam before it.
"We've outfitted the missile with a drill warhead capable of penetrating hundreds of ters into the rock layer," Martin explained, suddenly growing excited, "Watch closely! Here it cos!"
An explosion roared from deep within Stone Mountain, not violent, and after one second, two seconds… five seconds passed, and nothing happened.
Was it a dud? Xu Yi wondered.
Suddenly, a beam of golden light broke through from atop Stone Mountain, more and more beams erged, densely packed until the mountain was riddled like a sieve.
Using the power of his Eyes of Obscurity, Xu Yi could see clearly the objects within the light—they were clumps of Golden Crystals, irregular in shape.
"What are those Crystals?" Xu Yi asked instinctively.
"Have you heard of the Sighing Rose?" Martin asked with a smile, playing coy.
Xu Yi had recently read quite a few books on mysticism, and of course, he was aware of the famous Sighing Rose.
In the Sighing Rose, "Reaper Ashes" were the masterpiece of alchemy. Common people holding Reaper Ashes could easily kill an exorcist, but unfortunately, the thod of making it had long been lost.
"That kind of golden crystal is sothing we created through researching Reaper Ashes. Although the raw materials are extrely precious, the manufacturing process is incredibly tedious, and there is a high chance of failure, but..."
Martin said with pride on his face, "Its power is absolutely astonishing, far surpassing Reaper Ashes, over fifty tis more."
Xu Yi found it a bit hard to believe, as Reaper Ashes were developed for various supernatural creatures.
Evil Spirits, Demons, werewolves, vampires, and the like, all supernatural creatures were restrained by Reaper Ashes.
If Martin wasn't deceiving him, then to supernatural beings, weren't these golden crystals like atomic bombs to common people?
Countless golden crystals suddenly shattered, and dazzling light burst forth. From afar, it looked as if a golden sun had risen from deep within the mountains.
Both the sky and the earth were golden, as if they had been gilded.
Xu Yi's expression changed subtly, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
Even from such a distance, he could feel the intense radiation of the golden light, and he suddenly started to believe what Martin had said.
If he were at the center of the light, even with his Hyper Accelerated Regeneration ability, he would not have been able to survive.
Even Hyper Accelerated Regeneration had its limits, and the intense radiation would completely "burn dry" his body!
"We nad this golden crystal 'Doomsday Crystal,' and this missile is the 'Doomsday Blade,'" Martin said solemnly.
"Boston truly deserves to be a place that gathers many Institutes of Higher Learning!" Xu Yi exclaid in admiration.
In today's era of rapid technological advances, mysticism naturally evolved as well. After all, only a minority of people possessed the talent of an exorcist, but studying mysticism required intelligence, and humanity has never lacked for intelligence.
After witnessing the Doomsday Missile, Xu Yi's reverence for the "technology" of this era instantly increased by several levels.
"If it weren't for the Evil Deity being so dangerous, those above wouldn't be willing to use the Doomsday Missile. The difficulty of making such missiles is trendous, and so far, there are only two," he said.
Martin suddenly looked at Xu Yi, and his tone changed, "I heard you're interested in the study of mysticism and have joined MIT's Blood Group Five. Would you be interested in joining our Doomsday Crystal research team?"
A thought crossed Xu Yi's mind; he was completely clueless about Doomsday Crystals. They couldn't possibly be inviting him to join the research team for his scientific research skills.
This was an olive branch specifically extended by the special affairs team to recruit him.
Of course, Xu Yi "coveted" the technology of Doomsday Crystals.
He now had quite a few thods at his disposal, but the defects were also very clear. The number of "Ultimate Moves" that could end a battle with a single strike was pitifully few.
If he could "borrow" the technology of Doomsday Crystals, perhaps he could fill this gap.
He pondered for a mont and then nodded in agreent.
Joining the Doomsday Crystal research project didn't an he had to beco a beast of burden. When it ca to "slacking off," he had a unique talent.
Half an hour later, everyone began to don their protective suits.
Xu Yi saw Professor Daniel among the crowd and nodded at him as a greeting.
The radiation from the Doomsday Crystals would take a full year to dissipate completely, but after half an hour, the radiation intensity would drop by eighty percent.
At that ti, as long as they wore the protective suits properly, there wouldn't be much of a problem. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
They needed to enter the cave to confirm the situation of the Evil Deity.
As the saying goes, they needed to see the living or, in death, the body. Without confirming the death of the Evil Deity with their own eyes, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.
