Chapter 345: The Body Grows Rapidly, the Ancient God of Flesh and Blood

Before the mission began, Captain Babek of the Storm received first-hand information about the Dragon Tomb Secret Realm from General Simmons. In the visual and written records of that information, the Dragon Tomb Secret Realm was undoubtedly a desolate, lifeless and dilapidated place.

But what they are seeing through remote sensing equipment is completely opposite to what is recorded in the data.

The entire world was covered with dense reddish fungal mats, which overlapped like spider webs, spreading outwards and finally covering every corner of the secret realm. In the middle of these spider webs was a giant dark red sphere hundreds of meters high.

The sphere stood like a mountain in the center of the secret realm, and it was constantly moving and breathing like a heart. The closer you got to the inside, the more red it became. Waves of trembling evil auras emanated from it.

The battleship "Storm" driven by Babek is more than 300 meters long and has a prismatic appearance.

Although it was much smaller than the 1,000-meter-diameter Moon Shadow-class battleship, the Storm was definitely a giant. Whenever Babek stood on its deck and looked down through the glass, he felt like he was high above and conquering everything.

But now...

Looking at the secret place in front of me, it seems to have come alive.

This illusion was replaced by another feeling that I had never experienced before.

He felt like a bug that flew into a forest full of spider webs and ferocious predators. It was dark and eerily quiet all around. But those indescribable horrors had already set their sights on him. If he wasn't careful, he would be crushed to pieces.

"Hoo!" Babek took a deep breath and shook his head, getting rid of this absurd feeling from his head.

He thought for a moment and said, "Activate the detection rune."

In the steel-cast central command room of the "Storm", in the center is a strange device with multiple nested rings.

As the command was given, a buzzing sound was heard.

The ring-shaped device above began to rotate, and then the dark green runes engraved on the surface lit up.

Strings of data flowed before Babek's eyes like waterfalls... The species is unknown, the vitality is growing rapidly, exceeding the detection limit, warning, warning!
boom!
Accompanied by a sharp beeping sound and a flashing dark red light.

The nested detection device stopped working, and the runes on it were first over-lit, and then exploded directly, emitting thick black smoke.

Several technicians who were operating the equipment looked at each other in bewilderment. One of the younger demons thought that the equipment had some kind of malfunction. He reached out to touch it, trying to determine where the problem was. As a result, a "hiss" sound was heard, and he withdrew his finger as if he had been electrocuted. The part that had touched had already been burned.

At this time, Babek finally understood why Simmons wanted to leave this matter in his hands.

This is not targeting, on the contrary, it is a sign of respect.

This kind of thing...

Babek didn't want to know what kind of monster would jump out of it.

Just being in the transformation and incubation state can bring such a strong sense of oppression to oneself from such a long distance.

Once the transformation is complete.

It is hard to imagine how ferocious the monster born from it will be.

"Since we can't determine the life level, then charge the main gun to full power." Babek gave the order decisively, "Aim at the heart and fire!"

hum!
Accompanied by a heavy mechanical sound.

The top corners of the Storm's head moved apart to the sides, exposing the black muzzle.

First, a circle of invisible ripples spread outward, distorting the void.

Then, dots of dark red light gathered like fireflies, converging towards the center, and finally formed an unstable hot sphere. The sphere was restrained by dense rune flows and exploded with a bang. The power in it shot out towards the huge heart on the plain at a speed close to that of light.

Boom!

The remaining gas in the secret realm of the Dragon Tomb was instantly detonated and heated.

The charred ground was torn apart layer by layer and sank downwards.

Under the huge impact force, countless magma gushed out from the cracks.

The entire secret realm instantly turned into a boiling sea of ​​fire. The air was filled with cracks, and the surging chaotic power dyed the dark clouds into a strange, burning red color.

however--

Even though the entire Dragon Tomb Secret Realm is on the verge of collapse.

But the heart still stood tenaciously in the sea of ​​fire, and the rock-hardened outer shell cracked and fell off, falling into the magma. A huge wave of fire burst out with a "plop", but the internal structure was still well preserved.

Moreover, the color was becoming dim and transparent, and a dark human-shaped shadow was vaguely emerging inside.

Although there was only a blurry black silhouette, the long hair, the extremely strong muscles all over the body, and the amazingly sturdy body were visible. Babek only took a quick look through the glass and calculated with his fingers that the monster was about 20 meters tall.

"Hiss..." He took a breath. Babek felt as if cold sweat was oozing out of his forehead. He didn't bother to wipe it off, and squinted his eyes and said, "Continue to attack, inject the power in the power furnace into the main gun, and overload it directly. Don't leave any spare power."

"General!?"

The commander in charge of operating the ship nearby suddenly looked up, eyes wide, and said in surprise, "The main gun is still overheated and cannot withstand such a strong output. If it is forcibly fired, the Storm will suffer irreversible damage, and there is even a certain possibility of - bang!"

Babek slapped the commander in the face, and the latter flew out of the chair and hit the distant wall heavily.

"Follow orders!" Babek has a strong and sturdy body.

The chandelier hanging behind him was completely obscured, and from this angle, the only thing that could be seen was the large shadow cast by his body.

And a mouth full of iron teeth that gleam with metallic light.

"As ordered!"

The commander's heart skipped a beat, confirming that he had just felt a hint of cold murderous intent from Babek.

He quickly got up from the ground and returned to his seat.

His fingers flew as he fiddled with the runes on it. Finally, he took a deep breath, with a look of determination in his eyes, and mustered all his strength. With a "click", he pushed the joystick for the main gun in front of him directly up to the top, and it got stuck.

Rumble!
The main gun began to charge once again, and this time the accumulated power was even more intense than last time.

Violent vibrations came from under the soles of the feet, strings of red lights flashed on the signal lights, and various alarm signals quickly flashed on the projection, and were then urgently handled by the operators.

When this powerful attack was successfully launched, there was even a tidal cheer from the command room. Even Babek's naturally fierce face flashed a barely perceptible smile.

The effect of the explosion was like burning a tomato with a flamethrower, peeling off layer by layer, and exposing the unborn contents to the power of the starship's main gun.

The flesh and blood of the giant creature, which vaguely resembled a human, melted like a candle and gathered into a pool of blood and flesh at its feet. In the end, all that was left was a skeleton with a metallic luster. Its head drooped, and it only relied on the flesh and blood connected to its back to maintain its shape.

The detection rune was scrapped just now.

The crew on the ship couldn't tell if the monster was still alive, but it looked like it was dead.

At this time, another commander on the ship looked up and asked, "Are you responsible for taking it away and recovering it?"

"can."

Babek thought for a moment and added, "To be on the safe side, cut it off and bring it back."

……

boom!
The hatch opened and a team of seven fully armed demons jumped out.

The leader was named "Ars", nicknamed "Giant Arm". He was a practitioner at the level of a demon god, and his nickname came from his unusually large left arm. There was no skin on it, and the blood-red muscle fascia was directly exposed, inlaid with fist-sized eyes.

These eyes were taken from the corpses of his enemies. They were rolling around and looked very evil.

Ars was now suspended in mid-air, resting on the position of the monster's head.

This evil god-like monster had just been bombarded by the ship's main guns, and most of its flesh and blood had been stripped away. However, its dark eyes were intact, and standing in front of it, Ars could even see his own reflection in its pupils.

A sudden surge of greed and eagerness surged in his heart.

The deformed eyeballs on the left arm also began to move, conveying waves of longing.

"If I could remove this eye and keep it as a collection, or transplant it onto myself, both would be great options."

Ars thought so, and indeed did so. His highly deformed scarlet left arm thrust outward, with five fingers spread out, grabbing towards the monster's eyeball.

But at the moment when the two were about to touch.

A ripple suddenly passed through the monster's eyelids, and then that extremely deep eyeball suddenly jumped upwards.

His pupils were dilated at first, as if he had just woken up and had not yet realized what had happened, with a dazed feeling. Then they quickly shrank, and his eyes fixed on Ars.

Although he did not sense any hostility from the monster, the moment he was targeted, Ars felt like an insect frozen in amber, his whole body stiff and unable to move.

His muscles twitched, his face was filled with shock, and a strange and absurd feeling surged in his heart.

Not only was this guy not killed after two bombardments from the main guns, but more importantly, he experienced the feeling of having his life level crushed by this monster.

It was like an ant in the gutter looking up at the real dragon in the sky, or a mayfly in a dry well seeing the bright moon... The gap was as huge as an inconceivable chasm, and it even gave him a feeling that he would never be able to catch up in this lifetime.
