The feeling of crossing the crystal door was extremely similar to traveling through a slit.
In the chaotic vortex, a fixed track connected the two places.
Finally, after the world spun…
Rayne's vision cleared up.
What appeared before him was a land made of silver-white crystals.
There was nothing on the ground. In the distance, there was a barrier made up of crystals that sealed the skies.
It was bright here and the weather was warm and pleasant. It was completely different from the Deep Tundra outside.
Ad
However, the light source of this world did not come from the skies.
It came from underground.
Through the semi-transparent crystals, everyone could vaguely observe that under the complicated structure of the crystals was a blazing sun.
The sun that came from underground brought light to this world as well as the energy required to run it.
A large number of the Black Catastrophe army was being transported out of the underground storage through the lift that connected to the surface, sending them to the surface of the crystallized land. Thereafter, they passed through the crystal doors and arrived at the battlefield with the bug swarm.
From the various details, it was not difficult to tell.
In this crystallized world with a complicated structure…
Its core was the complex and massive underground city. As for the surface, it was the outermost perimeter of this world.
It resembled the outer wall of a ship.
"Time is tight for us and the god guarding this place will arrive soon. Little Eda, hand the crystal to me."
Rayne received the golden crystal he obtained from the lake giant.
Squatting down, he embedded the golden crystal into the silver-white crystals on the ground.
The silver-white crystals shone faintly and scanned through some information contained in the golden crystal.
A code that had not been used for millions of years was activated instantly.
Immediately after, a crystal lift rose in front of Rayne as well.
However, the lift before them was extremely cramped. Unlike the lift that ferried the Black Catastrophes, this crystal lift could only accommodate a single person.
"Only descendants of Order can board this lift. Great Teacher, please wait for me here."
The Great Teacher nodded in response.
"I understand, but please hurry back."
At that moment, the Great Teacher's mind was in an uproar.
Some of the more cowardly quasigods were already regretting their decisions and clamoring to leave this dangerous world before the unknown existence known as Prosperity arrived.
The Great Teacher was left behind as Rayne and Edaline walked into the crystal lift.
Ad
Edaline frowned. "This is so cramped..."
Rayne said, "This is meant for one after all. Come, Little Eda, hug me."
"Fine..."
Seemingly shy, Edaline burrowed into her brother's embrace reluctantly.
Thereafter…
The crystal lift closed and descended underground.
...
Deep Tundra, battlefield of the Black Catastrophes and bug swarm.
From the moment the crystal doors opened, the standard army entered the battlefield.
Time passed second by second.
However, the situation was still tense.
The bug swarm displayed shocking combat strength. Even though the Black Catastrophe army had brought out a full set of war machines to assist and coordinate with one another, they could not gain the upper hand in the battle against the swarm.
According to the blueprint...
The Black Catastrophes were prepared to continued leveling up.
In the next stage, silicon-based1 pseudogods would be sent into the battlefield and they would use single target vanguard units with divinity to destroy the swarm one after another.
However, even so, according to calculations, the Black Catastrophes would not be able to win the war.
Right now, the most important thing was not to repel the enemy's army.
That was because the mother of the bug swarm was moving to the surface at an astonishing speed and would be able to escape the greatest detection range of the Black Catastrophes a day later.
Once the mother's tracks were lost, the battle would turn into a long and drawn out war of attrition. The Black Catastrophes would have to fight the bug swarm to the end of time and eventually suffer a crushing defeat against the endlessly evolving bugs.
According to the results of the calculations, the Black Catastrophe army would not be able to destroy the mother of the swarm within a limited time even with the support of the silicon-based pseudogods.
Therefore…
The AI system came to a final conclusion.
Ad
It decided to skip the segment of deploying the pseudogods and activated the final agreement right away.
The mechagod was to be activated.
The signal to fight entered the core of the crystal world instantly, awakening the Goddess of Annihilation who was once one of the two polar extremities that created the ark plan.
After countless years of waiting…
The blazing sun that was in slumber finally opened her eyes.
The next moment.
On the vast tundra, the space above a bug swarm that was on the move was torn apart.
It was some powerful divine existence that had descended upon the tundra.
A brilliant light seeped out from the crack in the space and shone on the bug swarm.
Less than 0.1 seconds later...
Under the terrifying heat, the bugs that were illuminated turned into charcoal and vaporized, turning into wisps of pure white smoke that evaporated into the skies.
What evaporated was a main force of the bug swarm.
That was a great threat that initially required the Black Catastrophe army to invest all their strength of a single teleportation passage to match.
But now, those tragic carbon-based lifeforms were annihilated instantly and turned into steam that rose into the skies.
The next moment, the fatal light source passed through the dimensional rift and revealed its true appearance on the tundra.
It was a black-haired goddess that was expressionless like a puppet.
Her cold face was like a machine.
She was the goddess of the Black Catastrophes and just like them, she was artificially designed.
Her 170 centimeter tall body was an achievement of the arts of an era's civilization and was the greatest masterpiece.
Although she was an artificial goddess, she had to be stronger and more beautiful than the true goddesses!
Her beauty was comprehensive and perfect. Every single inch of her body, even the texture of her skin and hair were planned. Every single tiny detail and data parameter was born after endless calculation and the painstaking efforts of countless artists—it was an extreme aesthetic.
The pitch-black armor and the blazing white light formed a long dress that was compatible with her divine appearance.
Ad
Behind her was a blazing sun.
It was an actual sun.
She was previously used in the plan to clean up all living beings and gods on the surface before the other constructor used the project crystals to cover the planet and rebuild civilization.
It was a desperate gamble that exhausted all the resources and human wisdom of the fifth era, an artificial apocalypse that carried hope and malice to be passed down to the next era.
The Star Destroyer2 Mechagod, Prosperity.
This goddess of the tundra that was feared by the quasigods and Justice had finally descended to the mortal world at this moment.
Her mission was to destroy the bug swarm.
The gaze of the goddess swept across the tundra coldly and instantly marked the enemies that needed to be destroyed.
She transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the spot instantly.
The massacre had begun.
In the detection system of the Black Catastrophes, the biological feedback from the massive bug swarm army that covered the tundra was extinguished from their radar rapidly.
It seemed like an error in the system and a malfunction of the radar...
In less than a minute, ten main forces of the bug swarm vanished completely. Thereafter, a few seconds later, another kill was confirmed—it was the mother of the bug swarm that was tightly guarded underground through layers of defenses!
The extremely cold world filled with frost turned into charred land with flowing lava. Terrifying heat surged into the skies and the weather of the tundra would change for a long time to come after this sudden turn of events.
It was all because of a corporeal body of a blazing sun that illuminated this place.
The battle ended instantly.
The terrifying bug swarm that plagued the Black Catastrophe army like a nightmare and destroyed them within seven days was now dead like a joke.
The Black Catastrophes stepped on the scorching ground and began to clean up the battlefield.
At the same time, the perfect and flawless goddess stood calmly on the molten ground after retracting the light of her blazing sun.
Ad
Now that she had awakened 10,000 years after, she thought that the ark was finally about to reconstruct the plan of that era.
However, in reality, her enemies were only some lesser carbon-based lifeforms that had invaded the tundra.
She could not understand.
She could not understand why that sister who was supposed to fight with her to revive civilization had left her mission.
However, after flattening the bug swarm, she suddenly discovered something.
A few unusual parameters had appeared in the native world that she was guarding.
The mechagod who was supposed to be emotionless revealed a human-like hint of surprise at this moment.
She cast her gaze into the sea of data in her native world and swiftly pulled out the parameters that felt out of place.
Were those the... identity codes of Order?
Instantly, space was torn apart.
The silent sun burned once more.
As though she was filled with rage, Prosperity disappeared into the dimensional rift swiftly.
The goddess updated her mission indicators automatically.
Execution of the traitorous mechagod.
