319. Crisis Approaches!

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a "pit."

It looked more like a massive vertical shaft dug out by the Moloids.

The circular pit was about ten meters in diameter, with walls that were dozens of meters deep. Looking down from above, everyone could clearly see the bright lights shining from below.

"Barbara, have you activated the systems down there?" Star-Lord turned his head curiously.

"No, I haven't completely hacked it yet. There are still many automated subsystems running here, and bypassing them to infiltrate the network isn't easy," Barbara replied.

"No wonder, after all, this place was built by one of the smartest people in the world," Logan shrugged, walking to the edge of the circular pit. "So below should be the automated machines, right? Are we going straight down or what?"

"Let's go straight down. According to the 3D terrain map, there's a long corridor below us, leading to a massive research room. If we want to find clues about the Ultimate Eraser, that should be our target," Barbara said after some thought.

"Okay, everyone be careful. I'll go down first to scout the way."

Star-Lord reassured the others behind him, then activated the jetpack on his feet, leaping down into the deep pit and slowly descending with the propulsion force.

When he finally landed on the ground, he was surprised to find Constantine already waiting for him in the corridor below.

"You—" Star-Lord was taken aback.

"Magic. Pretty amazing, right?" Constantine shrugged.

The rest of the group also arrived at the corridor using their own abilities. Besides Logan, who flew down with Shazam's help, everyone else had sufficient experience with descending.

"What should we do next?" Raven turned her gaze toward Star-Lord and asked.

At that moment, she was in a much better state than before. Ever since arriving in this world, she hadn't experienced her father's torment anymore. She could not only rest well but also used magic more smoothly than before.

"Let's check the corridor first. I haven't had much contact with the Fantastic Four, so I'm not too familiar with this place. But we still need to be cautious; there might be traps or something," Star-Lord said seriously.

"Have you watched too many old movies? This place has turned into ruins," Pietro shook his head, offering a different perspective. "Besides, even if there are traps, the Moloids probably triggered them all for us."

A few minutes later, the group chatted while walking and reached the end of the corridor.

"It seems that because of the lights, the Moloids didn't cause much damage here." Star-Lord stepped on some broken steel bars, jumped down the stairs, and felt a sense of relief when he exited the collapsed door.

Before them lay a vast laboratory, with countless experimental equipment and severed wires scattered across the floor. Bright lights illuminated the room, revealing a massive steel robot displayed against the wall, with several connectors still plugged into it.

(Multiphasic Temporal Barrier Oscillator, buzzing.)

Herbie repeated.

(This device can tear through the barriers of the multiverse to access the flow of time. If mishandled, the explosion it triggers could cover an area of one mile.)

"Okay, I get it!"

Upon hearing this, Barbara immediately lifted her hands from the keyboard.

"A time flow explosion? That sounds ridiculous! How could Richards put such a dangerous device in his own building?" Star-Lord couldn't help but roar.

Logan snorted. "I've always said scientists are all a bit crazy."

(Alarm! Alarm! Alarm! Buzzing. Intruder detected!)

Suddenly, Herbie's emoji expression disappeared, replaced by a red exclamation mark that flashed with blinding light.

"What? Is there someone else here besides us?" Kate immediately got into a fighting stance.

"It's possible it's the Moloids. We only just drove them back. Given their numbers, they could easily come back; after all, we're right in their lair," Logan also stood up again.

(Detecting multiple high-level life signs approaching.)

"It doesn't matter. If it's the Moloids, leave it to me." Shazam had already used magic to construct a leg and stepped forward to face the dark entrance. However, he was quickly stopped by Constantine.

"I'm afraid it's not the Moloids."

Constantine frowned tightly, his anxious gaze scanning the surrounding environment. He could perceive energy fluctuations that were invisible to ordinary people, and the entities approaching them were far from the trash that Moloids could compare to.

"Aren't you curious where those Church members are on Earth?"

Noticing the other party's strength, Constantine chuckled awkwardly as he pulled out a deck of cards from his pocket.

"Now they've come knocking."
