Life Dungeon Game

Just as he rounded the first vortex, a new one appeared before him, and then a menacing 'lizard' monster burst out of it, seemingly about to tear Heo's mech apart.

Then, almost the instant its body burst out of the vortex, its blood vessels exploded, followed by frost covering its body and freezing it into a giant 'lizard ice block'.

It seems that the door 009-1 opened did not warn it about the 'caution of the vacuum', nor did it tell it about the low temperature of the universe.

Even though there are artificial suns around, their energy seems to have been gathered in some way and is mainly directed towards the remnant planet.

In this desolate deep space where there are no stars nearby, terrifyingly low temperatures still permeate every inch of space.

He Ao's figure swept past the lizard-shaped ice block, and more and more vortexes opened up in front of his field of vision.

These vortexes appear to be 'doors' leading into the underground palace.

009-1 can summon monsters from the dungeon to hinder Heo's actions.

Following the lizard monster, what appeared next to Heo was a doll with fleshy, bloody eyeballs.

Its body did not seem to be entirely flesh and blood. Even after its fleshy eyeballs exploded and froze, it still charged towards Heo, ready to launch an attack.

Then Heo drew his black broadsword and cleaved it in two, revealing the machinery inside.

Kernel.

As Heo continued forward, more and more monsters appeared in the passage ahead.

009-1 seems to have figured out the trick, no longer summoning pure flesh monsters, but instead summoning monsters that are mostly mechanical components.

The monsters are getting stronger and stronger.

When He Ao reached the halfway point, the monster he was facing was already a peak C-level monster.

Even if opening the 'door' to the unified space is easier for 009-1, passing through the 'door' of a monster of this strength would probably still require some effort.

This means that 009-1 is constantly diverting resources to deal with Heo.

When He Ao had traveled two-thirds of the way, he saw a frozen corpse wearing shattered protective armor hanging on the surface of the 'artificial sun' machine below.

At the same time, from this distance, he could clearly see the severe damage to the metal platform in front of him.

Just then, a huge vine suddenly stretched out from the vortex in front of him and slapped at his mech.

He Ao swung his sword to block the vine, then manipulated the mecha to do a somersault in the air, directly overclocking the mecha and jumping towards the metal platform at top speed.

009-1 seemed to have not expected He Ao to suddenly burst out with such speed. In the last part of the journey, only a few vortexes opened, from which huge vines stretched out, trying to hinder He Ao.

He Ao did not linger in the fight. He used his speed advantage to quickly dodge or swing away the vines, and arrived in front of the metal platform in the blink of an eye.

At that very moment, a huge vortex appeared before him, and then a 'vine tree' made entirely of intertwined vines emerged from the vortex.

Half of its body was in the vortex, and the other half extended out of the vortex to face He Ao. Countless vines covered with thick 'skin' rushed out from this vine tree and attacked He Ao.

This vine tree seems to be the 'origin' of the vines in the underground palace, and the part of it that extends out into the vortex has modified part of its structure in response to the cosmic environment.

Countless tiny vines instantly spread across the desolate void, rushing towards He Ao and blocking his path.

Its purpose was not to harm Howo's vital organs, but to try to destroy the structure of 'Adam Type 1', exposing Howo's body to a vacuum.

Compared to Heo's own combat power, Adam Type 1's defense is much weaker.

He Ao looked at the vine with divine sense.

One by one, energy gathering points intertwined and spread across the vine tree appeared in his field of vision, and in front of the vine tree, there were all kinds of vines like a net.

The vines swarmed towards him like raindrops.

Without hesitation, He Ao overclocked the mecha, and the massive thrust propelled him like a streak of light as he rushed toward the vine tree blocking the metal platform.

The sharp sword light severed the green vines one by one, and the broken vines spread like clouds floating in the universe, following He Ao's footsteps.

Soon, He Ao arrived in front of the vine tree, but at the last moment before he was about to get close to it, the huge vine tree suddenly wriggled and dragged its lower body out of the vortex.

Endless new vines surged from its lower body, blocking He'ao's retreat and rushing towards him from all directions.

The vines had been hiding behind the vortex that He Ao couldn't see, waiting for this opportunity to swarm in and completely 'strangle' He Ao.

He Ao looked at the vines that stretched across the sky, raised his hand, and grasped the wrinkled silver metal block in his hand. The contamination of the mechanical core ring forcibly activated the metal block's power in an instant.

A distorted order spread throughout the surrounding desolate deep space in that instant.

The enormous vine-covered tree and the tiny person standing before it together create a picture in the universe that seems to stand still forever.

The next second, the still painting trembled, and then the silver-gray mecha broke free from the 'painting'.

The dark sword shadows, like flowing paintbrushes, swept across the silent world, leaving invisible marks all over the giant vine tree.

Finally, the silver-gray mech soared upwards over the vine-covered trees, past the massive vortex behind them, and arrived at the metal platform behind the vine-covered trees.

The terrifying giant tree and endless vines shattered behind the mecha, turning into solidified blocks of emerald green ice.

He Ao then looked at the completely damaged metal platform.

A cube-shaped, hollowed-out metal box, about fifteen centimeters on each side, floats on the square of the metal platform.

A faint, weak red light emanated from inside the metal box.

A distorted whisper echoed in his ears.

I wasn't in good shape, plus I had a lapse in concentration, so it'll be a bit late.

I'm asking for votes for this 5,000-word post.

The next chapter will be at noon tomorrow, marking the end of our journey to the underground palace!

Newland City

Are we going to die?

The young military policeman huddled behind the stacked fortifications, staring blankly up at the reflection of the giant planet in the sky.

Ever since the shadow of that planet appeared in the sky, the whole world seems to have fallen into an even more twisted madness.

The monsters attacked people relentlessly, as if they had gone mad, and they also attacked each other repeatedly.

They were nearly out of ammunition and supplies. Once the monsters broke through their defenses, everyone here would be doomed.

Beside the young military policeman, the military police captain who was firing a gun tossed him a pack of cigarettes. "Stand up."

"Captain, what's the point of struggling now?"

The young military policeman, smoking a cigarette, dejectedly got up, glanced at the crazed monster outside, then at his captain who was still carefully controlling his ammunition and firing.

"We're doomed! These monsters are too strong; they're beyond human capabilities. What's the point of our resistance? Do you think some god will come to our rescue?"

The military police captain did not answer him, but remained leaning against his gun, carefully sniping at the approaching monsters.

The exploding bullets cannot completely kill the monsters, but they can hinder their movement.

Under the silent night sky, the blood seemed to be spreading little by little.

Relic World: Near-Earth Space

He Ao approached the metal box little by little, and the distorted oppressive feeling emanating from the metal box and the distorted murmurs echoing in his ears grew stronger and stronger.

This is merely a fragment of 001.

He looked at the completely destroyed control panel. Instead of reaching out to touch it, he reached out and grasped the cube-shaped metal box that was emitting a red glow.

Beneath this metal box, at the very core of the control panel, lies a similarly damaged structure, but in a completely different state of wear and tear than the outer perimeter. A faint, flowing light emanates from the remaining components within this structure.

It is this structure that supports the cube-shaped metal box.

The text above is written in five languages: [Suppression Field Generation Platform (Backup Structure)]

The suppression field was restarted hundreds of years ago, and then completely destroyed.

However, He Ao had already guessed this outcome when he saw the four open mech storage cabinets in the isolation layer.

His purpose in coming here was not to restart the control panel.

It was for this 001 fragment contained in a metal box.

Almost the instant his hand touched the metal box, a massive wave of contamination struck his brain like a giant hammer, causing him to lose control of his body almost instantly.

Seeing all this, the layers of eyes of 009-1 behind them all trembled upwards at the same time, as if mocking He Ao's overestimation of his abilities.

The reason this metal box has remained untouched for centuries is not because no one has coveted its power, but because all those who have coveted it are dead.

Then 009-1 saw He Ao completely remove the metal box and raise the black broadsword in his hand.

Those trembling eyes instantly turned to astonishment, and then, some terrifying and distorted spatial force acted on He Ao, scattering countless metal fragments instantly...

It burst forth from the surface of Adam Type 1.

This is the power from 009-1.

Having just delayed He's advance, it also successfully extracted more power from the 'exchange'.

It didn't know what Heo was going to do, but its intuition told it that it had to kill Heo and stop him.

However, He Ao's movements were not affected by the distortion of space. He memorized the patterns on the metal box, and then his sharp broadsword cleaved open the metal box covered with fine patterns.

A shattered red crystal slowly floated out from it.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the red crystal.

As the distorted pollution spread throughout his body, he also activated his super memory, forcibly scanning the patterns etched on the surface of these red crystals.

Bright red tears of blood streamed down his face, the seeping blood almost blurring his vision and causing him to lose most of his sight.

The entire field of vision was a blood red.

The power of the distorted space from 009-1 acted on He Ao's body, tearing his body, which was hidden inside the mecha, apart almost instantly.

However, He Aode's actions did not stop at all. He manipulated his divine sense to enter the red crystal, spread to the fine patterns, and found the control pattern that pointed to 001.

Then it was modified to be,

K.

The moment the last stroke fell, He Ao felt a certain 'connection' with the red crystal in his hand.
