The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

The Immovable Ghost Realm unfolds instantly.

Shen Ge's figure vanished from his original spot, and the next second, he appeared behind a strange elite who was preparing to flank Yu Tiexiong from the side.

The team member didn't even have time to react before he felt the world's time slow down infinitely, and a hand containing terrifying power was silently imprinted on his back.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

The specially made combat suit worn by that team member, along with the modified body inside, was shattered into countless flying fragments of flesh and blood.

Faced with the absolute power of a Ghost King, any tactics or teamwork seem pale and laughable.

On the other side, Yu Tiexiong, like an enraged bull, forced the four strange men who were attacking him to retreat steadily. These so-called "elites" were utterly helpless against absolute power and the repeatedly enhanced grotesque arm armor.

Shen Ge did not linger in the fight. During the lulls in the battle, his [Strange Eye] remained locked on the strange captain, scanning every inch of his equipment at high speed and analyzing the eerie energy fluctuations, trying to find out the secret behind their ability to communicate and pinpoint locations in this strange space.

However, the strange captain ignored it.

He watched as his companions were brutally murdered one by one, his eyes behind the metal mask showing no emotion, as if they were merely insignificant pawns.

His gaze remained fixed on Yoona, or rather, on the energy node in front of Yoona that was currently undergoing a decoding process.

Just as Shen Ge had finished off the third team member and was preparing to make him the next target, the strange captain suddenly did something that surprised everyone.

He abandoned all defense!
He let Shen Ge's palm, powerful enough to tear through space, slam into his chest!
"Got it!" Shen Ge's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly exerted force with his five fingers, preparing to crush it completely.

However, the expected scene of shattered bones and flying flesh did not occur. The monster captain's body, upon being hit, burst open like a punctured black water bag.

What burst open was not flesh and blood!
Instead, it was a viscous, pitch-black liquid that emitted a strong sense of information pollution and writhed like a living thing!
"Tsk-!"

The liquid seemed to possess a life of its own, ignoring Shen Ge's eerie domain power, and instantly covered his arm. A strange energy interference, like countless steel needles piercing his nerves, frantically drilled into his body along his arm.

Shen Ge instantly understood the other party's intention. The black liquid had extremely strong stickiness and strange energy, and even he could not completely shake it off or swallow it in a short time. This foreign polluting power seriously interfered with his precise control over the strange domain.

In that brief moment when he was briefly held back, a figure that had been lurking in the shadows deep within the ruins launched a deadly surprise attack!
This eccentric team member, codenamed "Messenger," possesses an extremely rare ability that allows him to briefly phase.

Ignoring Yu Tiexiong's desperate punch, he transformed into a semi-transparent phantom, passing directly through Yu Tiexiong's defenses and instantly appearing beside Yoona, who was concentrating on deciphering the code.

Yoona's reaction was already extremely fast, but she was still a beat too slow in the face of the opponent's strange surprise attack!

The "messenger" didn't attack her, or even glance at her. His eyes were only on the crystal energy node that was exchanging data with Yoona's wrist-mounted terminal.

He extended his unmodified right hand, tightly gripping a tiny device, no bigger than a thumb, that shimmered with a blood-red light, and then inserted it into the interface of the crystal energy node.

"Stop!" Yoona roared, but it was too late.

The blood-red "USB drive" transformed into a data stream virus the moment it was inserted, flooding into the energy node.

The decoding progress bar, which was slowly and steadily increasing on Yoona's terminal screen, suddenly stopped as if injected with a deadly poison!
Immediately afterwards, all the blue data streams were stained with a chaotic blood red.

[Decoding...forced to complete!]

[“Resonance Frequency”...injected with a contamination protocol...]

"Crack!"

Once she realized what was happening, Yoona used a Blood-Corroding Claw to instantly decapitate the "messenger"!

However, although the "messenger" had fallen, his face wore a twisted and eerie smile as if he had accomplished his mission.

At the same time, the black liquid that had been blasted away by Shen Ge regrouped in mid-air, and the monstrous captain's mocking voice rang out: "Hahaha... Captain Shen, you are indeed very strong, strong like a monster... but you cannot stop the descent of 'God'."

“We never intended to go in.”

"Our mission is to 'invite' what's inside... out!"

As one of the Special Operations Department's arch-rivals, how could they not know the capabilities of this "trump card" of the Special Operations Department? Therefore, they had been preparing for this plan for several years.

They knew very well that even if they found the "nest," they wouldn't be able to get in on their own. The only way was to rely on that man from the Special Operations Department who was as strong as a monster!

The "New God Cult" paid a huge price and offered enormous temptations, and it can be said that it was negotiating cooperation with the Heavenly Stems from the very beginning.

It wasn't until the appearance of Shen Ge, this "outlier," that they began their final plan.

And now, Shen Ge is the "key" that they use to bring the "god" into reality!
The strange captain's voice and the extremely piercing scream emanating from the huge "Resonance Gate" perfectly overlapped!
The entire giant door began to tremble violently!

On the door, the countless black veins were now completely invaded and contaminated by the filthy blood red. With a screeching sound like fingernails scraping metal, the giant door slowly opened a dark crack!

A strange energy aura, a hundred times more terrifying and a thousand times more filthy than all the strange energy fluctuations felt in the ruins before, surged out from behind the crack in the door!

Under the impact of this aura, the remaining members of the monster team didn't even have time to scream before their proud mechanized bodies and bizarre flesh began to melt and collapse at a visible speed!
In the blink of an eye, they turned into pools of foul-smelling black liquid, which were absorbed by the mutated fungal carpet on the ground.

They themselves were the first... sacrifices offered to the "god" who was about to descend, after completing their mission.

The door was still slowly opening.

The gap widened, and finally, the scene behind the door was fully revealed to Shen Ge and his companions. There was no other world as they had imagined, no magnificent city or ruins; there... was nothing at all.

In the very center of that darkness, a black tumor, whose existence cannot be described in words, was firmly bound by countless enormous chains made of black crystals extending from the void.

It was so enormous that its size was immeasurable, as if it occupied the entire space.

Its surface is covered with a layer of black carapace, yet within the gaps in the carapace, lines of pure, bizarre energy emerge.

It is a "source of erosion and pollution", and also the "object from outer space" that fell from the sky that we saw on the obelisk before!
Shen Ge quickly pieced everything together. Just as the world where "Iron Heart" was located had become an ocean world due to the apocalypse, this world, after falling apart, was like the world where the Hidden Ark was located, with the entire world turning into countless fragments.

One of the fragments, influenced by the power of dreams, transformed into a "miniature Earth," on which a small number of humans still remained.

Their peaceful life was shattered by the appearance of this "object from outer space"—a monster-level tumor heart.

That obelisk must hold even more secrets, secrets that can piece together the truth of this fragmented world more completely.

But right now, Shen Ge has no time to dwell on the obelisk or the truth behind the destruction of this fragmented world. As the "Gate of Resonance" is mistakenly opened, the countless crystal chains binding the heart of that monstrous tumor are emitting sounds of being unable to bear the weight, and countless tiny cracks are appearing on their surfaces!
"Retreat quickly!" Shen Ge made a decisive move, grabbing Yun'er and Yu Tiexiong, who were still in shock. He opened the [Leaving the Ghost Domain] barrier to its maximum and retreated frantically in the direction they came from.

However, it was too late.

The eerie torrent of energy leaking from the crack in the door began to frantically invade this ancient ruin at an alarming speed.

"Crack...knock..."

The once lifeless black crystal building began to "soften" eerily, like melting ice.

One by one, pulsating black blood vessels and buds "grew" out from inside the crystal formed by the strange energy, quickly covering all the building surfaces.

The ground beneath my feet became a soft, swampy carpet of fungi, and I could even feel a heartbeat emanating from beneath it.

The acid vents that were originally scheduled to erupt at regular intervals no longer spewed out deadly corrosive liquid, but instead sprayed out streams of viscous, pitch-black liquidified eerie energy filled with corrosive eerie energy!

The intensity of the mental interference from the strange energy erosion increased more than a hundredfold in an instant. Yu Tiexiong was only swept by the aftershocks, but he felt countless crazy babbling in his mind and almost lost his mind!
The entire underground ruins are being awakened by this awakening "extraterrestrial object"...!
"Get up there! Quickly!"

Shen Ge compressed the barrier of the [Uncharted Domain] into a sharp cone shape, and led Yoon-ah and Yu Tiexiong to break through upwards against the torrent of strange energy that was about to completely collapse the space itself.

After paying the price of a rapid depletion of their supernatural energy, the three of them finally made it back to the upper cavern through the passage that was being rapidly devoured by black flesh and blood, without any real danger.

Looking back, the underground ruins below have completely disappeared.

Instead, there is an indescribable hell of flesh and blood that stretches as far as the eye can see and is constantly expanding and writhing upwards!
That shattered "Resonance Gate," like the gaping maw of a giant flesh worm, continues to spew out filth imbued with corrosive, eerie energy!
Just then, Yoona's wrist-worn device emitted a piercing alarm. She stared at the energy model on the screen, its fluctuations resembling an electrocardiogram, and her face turned deathly pale.

"Captain Shen... According to the energy model's calculations, the conflicting balance between the two types of erosive energy is being rapidly broken..."

"At most...at most it can last for 48 hours!"

"Once the balance is completely broken, the contamination from the 'extraterrestrial object' will break free from the constraints of this eerie space and descend upon..."

"...The real world!"

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Shen Ge's gaze slowly shifted from the ever-expanding black flesh and blood hell below to the enormous skeleton in front of him, radiating a sinister, corrosive energy.

Could it be... that the monstrous heart that desperately tried to "rush" up in that space is actually the heart of this strange skeleton?

These two things come from the same strange entity?
In that case, we absolutely cannot allow them to successfully "merge"!
"You two stay here." After saying that, Shen Ge prepared to jump towards the huge, eerie skeleton.

"Captain Shen, what... what are you planning to do?" Yu Tiexiong looked at Shen Ge's profile, which was calm to the point of being frightening, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

Shen Ge did not answer directly, but instead turned his gaze downwards to the black sea of ​​flesh and blood that was still eroding upwards.

“I suspect that this strange skeleton and the tumorous heart came from the same strange creature. The tumorous heart keeps spreading upwards, probably in order to find the skeleton.”

"Once it completes its fusion, this eerie space might not be able to contain it anymore. We must destroy this strange skeleton before it completes its fusion."

Yu Tiexiong quickly asked, "What do you need us to do?"

“Please stay away from me for now. My method might be a bit dangerous. If I show signs of losing control or going berserk, you must leave immediately. If I become dazed or motionless, try to move me away, or you can leave first,” Shen Ge said.

The method Shen Ge mentioned was to use all his strength to devour that strange bone, but there had been instances where he had devoured "poisonous" strange remains, causing the system to crash briefly.

For example, the contaminant that Shen Ge swallowed on the seabed before facing "Omnisia" almost caused him to be devoured.

The current system cannot even detect the rating of the Ghost King in front of him. In the past, when he did such dangerous things, Xiao Qi and the Red Mist Armor would always cover for him. Without Xiao Qi, Shen Ge could only let Yu Tiexiong and Yun'er leave first to avoid them being affected.

"Are you... are you going over there?" Yoona asked anxiously.

"This...this is too risky!" Yu Tiexiong exclaimed, his heart pounding with fear.

Shen Ge didn't reply, but instead leaped downwards, creating an invisible barrier above the strange skeleton.

He stood on an invisible barrier, then expanded his Devouring Domain infinitely, instantly enveloping the enormous, bizarre skeleton within it.

The eerie skeleton erupted once more with a terrifying torrent of bizarre energy. The two streams of bizarre energy collided, instantly unleashing a bizarre energy storm powerful enough to tear apart the bizarre space itself! (End of Chapter)
