"I have my reasons for allocating points in this way."
Lin Lan glanced at the black cat curled up sulking in the corner of the panel.
"What we lack right now is not a wise mind, but absolute strength."
He smiled, "The Giant Squad can help us accumulate points faster, speeding up the developnt of the Ark. Only by doing so do we have a chance to reclaim your magic power from the Alliance."
"Is that really true?"
Vivian blinked her big, bright eyes, sowhat skeptical.
"When have I ever lied to you?"
With just a few words, Lin Lan appeased the Hajimi Goddess, who had lost her authority over the Divine Kingdom and her great divinity.
Then, he noticed that his character card had unexpectedly lifted the restriction on being used within the Celestial Principle Dungeon. Without hesitation, Lin Lan threw out the card.
A cascade of sunlight descended from the sky, waves of air rolled, instantly revealing the bodies of two giants in the radiant glow.
Looking at the scarred Seagull City, Ota and Sami’s pupils shook.
Before Lin Lan could say anything, Ota swiftly deployed his ’Thunder Protocol,’ three ters tall, fiercely guarding Lin Lan, aiming the cannon at the swirling snowstorm.
"Lord Lin Lan, what on earth has happened?"
The young Sami was initially a bit nervous, but upon seeing the countless corpses around, he adopted a fearless deanor.
·
Lin Lan quickly described the situation to the two giants.
"The doomsday calculation of the Celestial Principle God... truly incredible..."
Sami murmured, while Ota furrowed his brow, listening together with Lin Lan to ’Jay’s’ report.
In the calculation of the Celestial Principle, these bugs did not simply swarm up but first launched a ’decapitation operation’ against the upper echelons of the Ark Kingdom.
Ed, Sean, Charles... one manager after another died, and at the mont the Ark Kingdom fell into chaos, the giant swarm and brutal snowstorm followed suit.
Their thod of attack was cold, precise, and highly efficient.
The Black-winged Calamity Master fell into madness, summoning storms capable of nearly obliterating the city, but was ultimately torn to shreds by the swarm.
Celestial Calamity is God’s calamity, and the Northern Border Empire was the first to be subrged by the Nightmare Swarm, Ark Island was rely one of their stepping stones for attacking the main island of the Alliance.
Mortals have no hope of surviving under the crushing force of the Nightmare.
Luckily, the Celestial Principle could not compute the ’Foreigner’s’ interference in the world.
If not for Lin Lan driving the developnt, the future of the island chain at sea would be utterly despairing, an ’apocalypse.’
In everyone’s view, more chanical giant insects revealed vague outlines within the snowstorm, their attention drawn to the death of their companions.
"Ota, all simulacra soldiers present are handed over to you."
Lin Lan imdiately issued an order, "Our current objective is not to save Seagull City, but to kill as many of those bugs as possible."
"Understood."
Ota nodded and looked at the Sun Legion Commander beside him, saying in a deep voice, "Gather everyone and follow my command from now on."
"Yes, Lord Ota!"
Against the backdrop of snow and wind, the warriors’ light wings behind them glowed even brighter and more splendid.
The intensity of the war escalated once more!
Under Ota’s command, the Sun Warriors began gliding rapidly through the snowstorm, the warriors closing in on the swarm, their golden, jet-like sharp light wings cutting through the snow like knives!
A giant chanical centipede burst from the ground, but missed its target.
It shook its head, emitting a fierce hiss, its mobility falling behind these golden iron cans!
The next mont, cannon fire erupted!
Boom boom boom boom!
The giant insect’s head was instantly blasted into powder, its hissing ceased abruptly, as the relentless blazing Sunlight Fla swallowed the soul of the Celestial Calamity.
[Holy Spirit Point added]
"Good good good! I knew from the start that it was right to add points to these giant kids, ow!"
The black cat was already rolling excitedly on the panel.
Lin Lan: ...
He no longer paid attention to the Hajimi Goddess, focusing on the battlefield.
One can only say that Ota is truly worthy of being the elite of the Giant civilization. Under the command of the captain, this battle resembles a delightful slaughter performance.
One giant insect after another fell, howling miserably.
Lin Lan carefully examined the corpses of those chanical Centipedes.
These things weren’t simply living beings, but monsters ford from the fusion of Celestial Principle technology and the Starry Insect Swarm.
Just like the Shattered Star, these bugs contaminated the chanical structures, transforming into the Celestial Calamity version of ’chanical Gundam’. No wonder mortals were utterly defeated...
However, these tal shells are excellent materials, I must find a way to take them out of the dungeon...
Lin Lan also pondered and understood what the ’Nightmare’ truly was.
The Starlight Swarm laid eggs within the Celestial Principle network, giving birth to the intangible, spirit-devouring Nightmare.
People reside in a world where ideal affects the material, the pervasive snowstorm stemming from both the Empire’s environnt and the centuries of nightmares accumulated by the Imperial People.
This is the outco calculated by the Celestial Principle, one of the apocalyptic futures faced by the Ark Kingdom.
Lin Lan gently exhaled.
Even though the warriors seed to have the upper hand, and although the Ark Kingdom could continue to develop, he did not feel complacent.
Lin Lan knew better than anyone that the swarming bugs that swept the archipelago were far from reaching the level of the ’Space Ladder’.
They were clearly still restricted by ’Genesis’.
Thus the New Empire could fight back and forth using so Old Century toys and Nightmare Celestial Calamity...
The weak battling each other, indeed.
[Holy Spirit Point 1]
The system panel kept popping up notifications, Lin Lan’s face gradually showed a smile akin to a farr’s harvest.
Doesn’t matter which future, as long as I now have a stable channel to earn points, I will farm them to my heart’s content!
Besides Eleanor and Lucia, Lin Lan plans to pull Ed and Jay into the new dungeon next ti.
This is a rare and valuable battle simulation! Nothing tempers the heart better than life-and-death combat! The benefits are absolutely solid!
Doesn’t matter if soone dies, anyway, the Dungeon Card ensures no real death, I’ll just lay down for a few more days.
As Lin Lan pondered, the snowstorm over Seagull City grew more fierce.
The Sun Warriors gradually fell into a bitter battle.
The chanical swarm seed endless, in the next mont, the Ark Legion suffered casualties, the shortcomings of the rookies’ lack of combat experience eventually exposed themselves.
The warriors’ stamina was ultimately not unlimited, but they fought till the last mont, one Light Wing extinguished after another, the Nightmare Celestial Calamity nearly crumbled the warriors’ lives through sheer numbers.
The Sun Legion was annihilated.
Lin Lan recalled Ota and Sami, both drenched in blood, while the chanical swarm surrounded them, closing in.
Tap, tap, tap.
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in Lin Lan’s ears, he narrowed his eyes, discovering that the steel insects were actually protecting a petite, graceful figure.
It was a delicate-looking bionic girl.
She wore long boots, donned the Empire’s double-breasted uniform, her cold, pretty face full of anger.
Without hesitation, Lin Lan took out the Philosopher’s Stone, the next mont, he saw a colorful phantasmal worm drill out from the back of her neck.
The Foreigner grinned.
Hey? Isn’t this an old friend?
Clearly the enemy was the prey trapped in a dire situation, yet the worm’s compound eyes were full of shock and unease.
The girl looked toward the insect corpses on the ground but could not feel the thoughts of her fellow creatures no matter what.
The network signal vanished without a trace, her slaughtered kin could never return!
In the next second, thunk—
Lin Lan felt a sharp pain in his chest, he collapsed softly to the ground, sitting beside ’Lucia’.
The young boy lowered his head and found a penetrative wound identical to the Witch’s on his chest.
Goodness... So devious...
Consciousness gradually fell into the void.
But Lin Lan smiled.
In the increasingly fearful gaze of the colorful worm, the Foreigner raised his head, seeming to confront the starry sky sheltered by the snowstorm, unabashedly revealing the longing in his eyes for them.
As if in the monster’s eyes, these insect legions were delectable dishes laid on the dining table, mouthwateringly tempting.
They opened their mouth:
"I’ll be back."
