The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

"Heartbeat?"

The sorcerer turned around, his hand still hovering in front of the massive alloy door, his brows furrowed.

"What heartbeat? My elemental perception field is fully activated, and there is no sign of life within a hundred-meter radius."

Eagle Eye, the archer standing nearby, also cast a sharp glance.

"This is a high-level dungeon, so don't make jokes that could affect the team's judgment."

Li Haotian shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"I didn't say it was a human heartbeat."

He pointed to the massive door covered with intricate patterns of light.

"I mean, this thing... it's breathing."

The fortune teller's face showed a hint of impatience.

"That's the resonant frequency of the energy core, a normal phenomenon of Titan technology. Your perception has been misled."

He turned back towards the door, his fingers flying across the virtual panel.

"Based on the star chart's cycle, I've calculated the first set of secure unlock coordinates. It's a logic puzzle, not a living thing."

Li Haotian leaned against the wall, arms crossed.

"A logic puzzle? Are you sure? What if its logic is... it wants to eat you?"

"Nonsense."

The fortune teller didn't even turn his head this time, and pressed a symbol on the panel.

"Level 1 decryption protocol initiated."

The light patterns on the alloy door flowed like mercury and converged in the center.

A soft "click" echoed in the hall.

The fortune teller breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look, it's just a lock..."

Before the words were even finished, the whole world seemed to have been muted.

The alloy "gate," which was a full thirty meters tall, cracked open in the middle.

It's not opening, it's tearing.

From the dark crack, two rows of huge, serrated metal teeth suddenly emerged, each as big as a small car, clashing against each other with a screeching sound that pierced eardrums.

The door is like a mouth, a huge, metallic mouth.

It lunged forward, trying to swallow the divine calculator whole.

"A divine calculation!"

The tank roared and tried to charge, but it was too late, and the distance was too great.

Hawkeye drew his bow, but he knew his arrows would be no match for the terrifying maw.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Just as the sharp metal teeth were about to bite down on the stunned mage, the air around him distorted.

It was as if time in that small space had been forcibly frozen.

The giant jaws snapped down, but the teeth got stuck just centimeters from the diviner's body, violently rubbing against an invisible wall.

"Creak—!"

The sound was tooth-grinding.

"Back off!"

Indra's voice was like a thunderclap. He rushed forward, grabbed the diviner's collar, and pulled him back sharply.

The invisible barrier shattered instantly.

The massive metal maw snapped shut, biting into empty air, sending sparks flying.

The fortune teller fell to the ground with a thud, his face pale and his legs trembling.

He stared at the monster's enormous mouth, still slowly chewing, as if savoring the taste of what he had missed, and couldn't utter a single word.

The rest of the team gathered around, their faces grave.

"Was that... a spatial skill?" the assassin asked in a low voice, glancing at Emperor Shitian.

Di Shitian shook his head, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Li Haotian, who looked completely harmless.

"It wasn't me."

Li Haotian strolled over and kicked a loose bolt on the ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

He glanced at the enormous, chewing mouth, then at the still-shaken fortune teller.

"I told you it wanted to eat you, but it wouldn't listen."

"You...you know?" Hawkeye's voice was tense.

"It's my profession," Li Haotian said seriously. "Intuition is also part of my service package."

He walked up to Indra, his expression calm.

"Boss, your quality control is terrible! This one even bites! Doesn't your after-sales service cover this?"

The rest of the team looked at him with speechless expressions.

Is this person's brain circuitry different from normal people? At a life-or-death moment, he's actually concerned about after-sales service?

"This isn't a door, it's a Titan-level mimicry behemoth," Indra said in a deep voice. "A biological weapon that perfectly mimics its environment. Our intelligence was wrong."

The mimicking behemoth seemed to realize its prey had escaped, and let out a roar. The "walls" on both sides began to writhe and deform, and more weapon cannons emerged.

"Oh no, it's about to fully awaken! We must destroy its core first!" the fortune teller shouted as he struggled to his feet.

"How can we destroy it? Its armor is a self-repairing alloy, our attacks are useless!" Rock slammed his shield on the ground, looking frustrated.

Li Haotian sighed.

"You guys are too rigid. If it's not a door, then it doesn't need a key, right?"

He looked at Indra and grinned.

"Hey boss, remember that thing you rented from me?"

Indra's eyes flickered.

"The rental period hasn't expired yet, so it's not a breach of contract for me, as an original factory technician, to perform maintenance for you, is it?"

Before the other party could answer, Li Haotian snapped his fingers.

A ripple spread across the space beside him.

The colossal creature, [Alien Hellfire], stepped out of the void. Its massive body, covered in dark red carapace, instantly raised the surrounding temperature by several degrees.

The members of the Kyushu team instinctively took a step back.

Seeing it in data is one thing, but the oppressive feeling of seeing it with your own eyes is a completely different concept.

"What's the instruction manual for this thing again?" Li Haotian scratched his head and muttered to himself, "Oh, I remember now, aim, fire, explode."

He pointed to the huge mouth that was still chewing.

"Hey, big guy, I heard you like to eat? Try this!"

The biological cannon barrel of the Hellfire began to light up, and a blinding red light gathered at the muzzle.

The mimicry behemoth seemed to sense the danger, stopped chewing, opened its massive jaws, and let out a deafening roar, shooting a corrosive energy wave toward the hellfire.

"Too slow."

"boom!"

A plasma beam thicker than a water tank shot out from the cannon barrel of the Hellfire.

It didn't collide with the energy wave, but instead pierced through it directly, instantly evaporating it.

The beam of light pierced precisely into the depths of the mimicry behemoth's gaping throat.

There was no explosion.

There was only an eerie, deathly silence.

The massive body of the mimicry beast froze, and then a blinding white light shone from inside its metal shell.

Spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered its entire body.

"Get down!" Indra roared.

The team members immediately lay down.

The mimicry behemoth inflated like a balloon, and then... collapsed inward.

A wave of scorching heat swept across the entire hall.

When the team looked up again, the thirty-meter-tall monster was gone.

All that remained was a huge, circular hole in the wall, its edges melted into a glassy, ​​dark red, and a dark, acrid passage leading to the unknown depths.

The members of the Kyushu team slowly stood up, looked at the passage, looked at Hellfire, and finally looked at Li Haotian, who was clapping his hands as if nothing had happened.

Their expressions were blank.

They are elites, the best, using top-notch analysis and tactics to treat dungeon raids like military operations.

As a result, this guy used stinky tofu to subdue the spider sea and used a plasma cannon to blast through the monsters they couldn't handle.

They were still playing chess when this guy flipped the chessboard over.

"See? Professional, right?" Li Haotian patted Hellfire's thigh. "Problem solved, boss. Five stars, right?"

Indra took a deep breath.

"Walk."

He offered no comment, but simply led the way into the newly opened passageway.

Li Haotian shrugged and followed, while Hellfire moved his limbs heavily, bringing up the rear.

The passageway was long and filled with the smell of burnt metal.

At the end of the passageway was another, even larger, circular hall.

In the hall, there were hundreds of huge transparent culture tanks, each filled with various twisted creations that were both biological and mechanical.

But everyone's attention was drawn to the scene in the center of the hall.

There stands a single, giant culture tank, over fifty meters high.

Inside the vat, in a viscous, shimmering liquid, floats a giant.

It is humanoid, but its body is a savage combination of pale muscles and dark machinery, with thick cables piercing through its flesh and connecting to the cylinder wall.

"That's... the Titan prototype?" The diviner's voice trembled.

The rest of the team was also stunned by the sight.

Li Haotian didn't look at the giant.

His silver vertical pupils had shrunk to pinpoints.

His gaze was fixed on Titan's chest.

At the heart of that giant, where flesh and machine intertwine, is embedded a crystal.

It was a deep crystal with countless facets, emitting a faint pulse of light, with countless points of light flowing like a galaxy within it, occasionally tearing open and closing tiny black cracks.

His system panel was flashing wildly.

[WARNING! Ultra-high purity space-based energy source detected!]

[Item identified: Heart of the Void (Mythical Evolution Material)!]

[Matching with the host's gene tree branch 'Voidwalker' can trigger the second stage of mythical evolution.]

Li Haotian felt a surge of electricity coursing through his body.

A superior alternative to S-class space crystal nuclei.

The key to making the Queen the true ruler of space.

He has to get his hands on it.
