Chapter 314: Chapter 200 Yay! (Third Shift)_1
Just now, in that instant, the entire alarm clock transformed into a powerful wave that swept across all directions.
The creator of the alarm clock was well aware of its composition, as the bomb it became targeted the network of the Heavenly Tao, aiming to completely destroy it and condemn this place to eternal darkness.
Although the Heavenly Tao network is vast and strong, the alarm bomb targeted its weakness to shocks, to which it was remarkably vulnerable.
Originally, a single tremor from the Demonic Qi could cause a partial collapse of the Heavenly Tao network, but the tremors from the alarm bomb were even more terrifying, aimed clearly at the network’s destruction.
Regrettably, the tremor occurred within the laboratory.
Bolstered by Fang Cheng, the research ship easily absorbed the shock, preventing any transmission to the Heavenly Tao network, turning the enemy’s scheme into nothingness.
Because of this, players would not know what a terrifying event had just taken place.
However, the new Main God Tian Xuan and her assistant, the Lord of Balance, did sense the occurrence and arrived at the location immediately.
The Lord of Balance, once a Main God, had handed over position and authority to Tian Xuan and had resumed his original identity to aid her.
After reclaiming his identity, he appeared as a young man shimmering with golden light, wearing a white shirt emblazoned with the pattern of a golden balance, signifying his identity as the Lord of Balance.
Standing next to Fang Cheng, the Lord of Balance looked at the research ship before him, his indifferent face showing a hint of surprise.
Ever since the Great Heavenly Lord came here, he found himself surprised all too frequently.
In his eyes, the inside of the research ship had been blasted into a void, the Heavenly Tao network shattered to pieces by the shock. If it weren’t for Mana laid down by Fang Cheng to place the players, this tremor would have torn the Heavenly Tao network to shreds.
Taking a frightened breath, he turned to Fang Cheng and said, “Thank you, Great Heavenly Lord.”
“It’s nothing, and it wasn’t for you all, I simply didn’t want the Angel Envoys to meet their demise. Can you make out what this thing is?”
The Lord of Balance looked puzzled at Fang Cheng, cautiously saying, “You mean, that bomb? It’s already exploded.”
“Sorry, I forgot.”
“No...”
The Lord of Balance’s words stopped abruptly.
He saw Tian Xuan reach out and grasp, and every piece of information about the exploded alarm bomb was traced back, ultimately restoring it to its bomb form, then appearing in Tian Xuan’s hand.
She employed the privileges of the Heavenly Tao network in a manner that was unheard of to the Lord of Balance, something he had never even considered.
While it seemed a simple restoration, the alarm bomb contained a very high concentration of reality interference, which the Lord of Balance considered impossible to reconstruct, yet Tian Xuan, having just taken control of the Heavenly Tao network, was able to accomplish the feat.
Is the gap between Gods that vast?
The only solace he found was that Tian Xuan found the task rather strenuous, looking unsteady upon completion.
But Fang Cheng’s following words made him feel somewhat ashamed.
“Not bad, but actually it’s better to use the mirroring method here. Watch, I’ll detonate this bomb, and you try again.”
Watching Fang Cheng trigger the bomb directly, the Lord of Balance felt the aftershock of the explosion from a close range, reflective of the time the Great Heavenly Lord had spared him some dignity in their confrontation.
It wasn’t until Tian Xuan had more or less mastered the operation of the Heavenly Tao network that Fang Cheng began to analyze the alarm bomb again.
The alarm bomb was made of two components, one being a bland malevolence, akin to someone finding an insect distasteful and wanting to crush it.
The other part was deep sorrow, as if creating this device was torture, and the creator didn’t really want to do it.
No matter the intention behind the bomb capable of destroying this place, Fang Cheng felt a karmic entanglement coming his way, seemingly drawing him in.
He could ignore this karma, but it was connected to a thousand-year-old history, a mix of causes and effects that made him feel it was better to go with the flow and investigate.
Facing the sudden appearance of the deity, the big astronaut was not shocked but instead nodded and said, “Are you the deity of this place? Tch, just a Little Heavenly Way, you dare to be so arrogant?”
The Lord of Balance stared at the other party: “How do you know that our true form is that of Little Heavenly Way?”
“I also know what your weakness is! Activate the Blasphemous Chip.”
Accompanying the big astronaut’s grim laugh, the Lord of Balance felt the other vanish.
Not only that, but They also felt their consciousness being invaded by something, an existence frantically intruding into Their thoughts, trying to completely take over Their body.
They immediately tried to resist, but in the consciousness of the invader, They glimpsed a familiar shadow.
It was the shadow of the Far Traveler.
Unlike the fleeting first glimpse when They were born, this time the vision of the Far Traveler was much clearer.
The other looked utterly ordinary, yet had an approachable manner, embodying all that was good in humanity, which resonated with the essence of the Lord of Balance, sparking in Them an infinite longing.
This longing led the Lord of Balance to open up Their heart directly, beginning to accept this consciousness.
The golden light in Their eyes started to be replaced by blackness, and just as They were about to become a servant of the big astronaut, the new Main God, Tian Xuan, descended.
Seeing Tian Xuan, the big astronaut let out a wild, ferocious laugh.
“Another delusional fool, but useless, as long as you belong to the Heavenly Tao network, you’ll be invaded upon contact. Come on, little one, accept my presence!”
After laughing crazily for a long time, he suddenly realized that Tian Xuan in front of him hadn’t changed at all, not a hint of corruption in sight.
His laughter gradually died down, turning into deep astonishment.
“...what are you?”
That was his last words.
After he spoke, he was completely frozen, then sealed within a nearby planet, to be awakened later.
And the little astronaut was taken by Tian Xuan to the nearest research vessel and left for players to deal with.
Having resolved all this, Tian Xuan looked at the Lord of Balance.
Although silent, her lively eyes seemed to be silently asking, “Are you alright?”
“...I’m fine,” the Lord of Balance gently shook Their head.
Watching Tian Xuan who genuinely cared for Them, the Lord of Balance felt that They had much to learn in terms of scale.
In the research vessel, members of the Morals Aid Group were startled by the sudden arrival of the little astronaut.
Liuzi looked at the monorail in front of him and then at the unconscious little astronaut, unable to help but say, “Is it trendy now to pull a big stunt out of nowhere?”
Xiemen Waidao leaned in and said, looking at the other, “First, see if she looks good, if so, we’ll keep her.”
“What if she’s not good-looking?”
“Keep her anyway.”
“You’ve really got a habit of talking nonsense lately!”
Ignoring the joker, Liuzi called on the members of the Morals Aid Group to find a portable eco-bubble and then expand it.
This device, too, was obtained from across the monorail, capable of creating a universal environment inside suitable for any living being to survive.
Working together, they moved the little astronaut inside, and with concerted effort, they removed her helmet, only to let out a gasp of amazement in unison.
This robot, nice!
