The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Immediately afterwards... the entire underground space of the Despair Corridor began to tremble violently.

The solid rock walls all around began to crack inch by inch without any external force acting on them.

Countless pebbles tumbled down, crashing into the bottomless darkness.

Even the space itself emitted muffled thuds.

It's like a balloon that's been inflated to its limit; if you inject even a tiny bit more air into it, it will explode devastatingly.

Gu Xu wanted to control this change, but he found that his perspective had changed.

This feeling is both strange and terrifying.

He felt his consciousness rising rapidly, as if breaking free from the constraints of gravity and soaring into the sky.

What was once a towering altar in his eyes now resembled a tiny sand table.

And his body...

Gu Xu looked down, or rather, he looked down with a holistic perception.

His human limbs are becoming blurred.

Instead, countless tentacles danced wildly in the void, extending infinitely. These tentacles were not physical entities, but rather formed from a mixture of darkness, chaos, and rules.

At the end of each tentacle is an eye that can see right through you.

Every inch of its skin is inscribed with runes that humans cannot understand.

He is getting bigger.

He's expanding.

This underground dungeon had become a cramped matchbox for him.

He needs more space, he needs the sky, he needs the sea.

He needs the whole world as his stage.

……

At this very moment, in Dachang City, outside an abandoned industrial zone.

Su Qiong, who was anxiously waiting, suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet jump violently.

"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

Jiang Shu exclaimed in surprise and almost lost her balance.

Before anyone could react, an even more violent tremor followed.

This tremor did not originate from the movement of tectonic plates.

Rather, it originated from the depths of that dark dungeon entrance.

"Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—"

Several energy monitoring instruments placed at the edge of the square sounded piercing alarms almost simultaneously.

The values ​​on the screen skipped directly over the red warning line.

It turned into unreadable gibberish.

"Damn it!"

Su Qiong flung away the crushed cigarette pack from her hand, her face turning extremely ugly.

As a battle-hardened commander, she was all too familiar with this kind of commotion.

This is a sign of spatial collapse!

The calamity in Beichuan had just broken out, even trapping Lin Yuan.

Now something bad is going to happen in Dachang City too?

Is it truly the will of Heaven to destroy the Xia dynasty?

"Gu Xu is still inside!"

Zhang Xinxin disregarded her composure and rushed to the instrument, staring at the wildly fluctuating data: "At this level of energy collapse, the spatial rules within will be completely shattered; he'll be torn to pieces!"

"I know!"

Su Qiong gritted her teeth, and the hesitation in her eyes lasted only half a second.

"Pass on my order! Activate the space-tearing device!"

"Turn the power up to maximum! Blast that entrance! Even if it means blowing the entire dungeon apart, get those people out!"

The surrounding soldiers were also stunned by this sudden turn of events.

But upon hearing the order, he instinctively rushed towards the control panel.

The large machines, originally intended as a last resort, began to emit a low, resonant charging sound.

The thick cannon barrel was aimed at the black vortex that was twisting wildly.

however.

It wasn't fully charged yet.

An aura that could freeze one's soul burst forth without warning from that small entrance.

That wasn't wind, nor was it an energy wave.

It's a kind of "sense of presence".

An ancient, grand, and indescribable sense of terrifying presence.

"That...that is..."

Jiang Shu raised her head, pointed her finger at the sky, and looked as if her bones had been removed.

Su Qiong subconsciously followed her gaze.

The next second, the female major general, known for her fierceness, had her pupils contract sharply.

The walkie-talkie in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

The portal, which was originally only three meters tall, shattered instantly under the support of some great force.

There was no explosion or fire.

Instead, a towering phantom pierced through the earth and soared tens of thousands of meters into the sky!

The sky over Dachang City has changed.

The bright sunlight vanished instantly, replaced by a deep, viscous, dark green, like the deep sea.

The clouds began to churn wildly, and under the pull of some force, they coalesced into huge vortexes.

At the very center of that vortex, a terrifying phantom, so large it could blot out the entire sky, slowly emerged.

It has a head covered with tentacles like an octopus, and its body is as large as a continuous mountain range.

The pair of wings behind it, not yet fully unfolded, seemed capable of enveloping the entire planet.

Around it, space is like a shattered mirror.

Countless indescribable monsters appeared and disappeared in the void.

Some resembled floating brains, others resembled chunks of flesh covered in teeth, and still others were a constantly writhing shadow.

They surrounded the enormous phantom, like believers worshipping a god.

"Gurgle..."

Someone swallowed hard.

In the absolute silence, the sound of swallowing was particularly jarring.

If the bridal sedan chair in Beichuan City evokes a sense of gloom and the fear of death...

The existence before us then brings purity and physiologicality.

Despair that could drive a person mad.

It simply floated there quietly, making everyone below feel as insignificant as dust.

What human civilization, what high-tech weapons, what ninth-level powerhouse?

Everything seemed so ridiculous in front of this ancient phantom of a deity.

"What...is this?"

Zhang Xinxin pushed up her glasses and stared blankly at the sky.

As a research fanatic, her rationality told her she should run away immediately or close her eyes.

But her instincts prevented her from looking away.

This is a creature imbued with forbidden beauty; it represents the pinnacle of evolution.

It is the embodiment of rules.

Just when everyone's mental defenses were about to collapse.

Someone discovered that beneath that enormous phantom of Cthulhu, right at the center of the horde of countless terrifying monsters.

A person is suspended in mid-air.

A tall and slender young man.

His hands hung naturally at his sides, his black hair flying wildly in the chaotic energy storm.

His face was expressionless, except for his burning ruby-like eyes, which calmly gazed at the terrified crowd below.

Gu Xu.

Just a few minutes ago, people were worried about whether the newbie could clear the dungeon.

At this moment, however, he sits at the top of the world like the king of these ancient monsters.

Behind him, the enormous phantom seemed to be his double.

His breath rose and fell with his breathing.

"Gu...Gu Xu?"

Su Qiong opened her mouth wide, feeling as if there was a wad of cotton stuffed in her throat, unable to make a sound.

The impact of this scene was truly immense.

It was so intense that it even caused her brain to temporarily freeze, making her unable to process the images before her.
