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

boom--!

No sound.

Or rather, the sound was completely swallowed up by the burst of white light.

The core hall of the entire underground ruins seemed to have been thrown into a miniature sun.

The blinding light dispelled all shadows, illuminating every piece of metal and every inch of flesh with exquisite detail.

Then came a deathly silence.

one second.

two seconds.

Then, the devastating shockwave finally arrived.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

It was as if tens of thousands of tons of explosives had been detonated simultaneously, and the entire space was filled with wails.

The massive metal dome was torn and twisted by the violent airflow, and then blown away like a piece of paper.

The ground was scraped away layer by layer, revealing an even older structure beneath, which was then destroyed.

The Kyushu team members, who were lying on the ground, didn't even have time to groan before they were thrown off like tumbling gourds by this irresistible force. They crashed heavily into the surviving wall, then slid down, and the glow of their equipment instantly dimmed.

The Eagle Kingdom assassin, Wings of Freedom, who had been hanging on the wall, along with the wall itself, evaporated in the first wave of energy radiation, without even a glimmer of white light appearing.

At the eye of the storm, the Titan prototype, towering seventy meters tall, suffered ninety percent of the damage.

Its indestructible right half, along with its massive metal arm, was blasted away without a trace.

Countless charred metal parts and fleshy tissues rained down like a storm.

Its massive body lost its balance, staggered backward, and crashed to the ground with a thud, kicking up clouds of dust.

Inside its blasted chest cavity, the [Heart of the Void] was exposed to the air, still emitting a chilling, eerie purple light.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

The whole world seemed to be nothing more than the buzzing tinnitus left by energy overload.

Li Haotian climbed up from behind a flipped metal plate, spat out the sand in his mouth, and shook his somewhat dazed head.

The alien army he summoned was almost completely wiped out in this indiscriminate explosion.

Only a few worker bees, the ones furthest away, remained, clinging to life in a corner.

"Holy crap, this power is way too much."

Li Haotian looked at his empty summoning list, cursing under his breath, but secretly he was overjoyed.

Trading an A+ grade weapon of war for half the life of a mythical-level BOSS is a steal!

He looked at the Kyushu squad lying motionless in the distance, several people lying haphazardly, clearly in a deep coma.

Great, no one is stealing monsters.

His gaze finally settled on the Titan wreckage that was still crackling with electricity.

Although the giant's body was damaged, the light from the [Heart of the Void] on its chest began to flicker rhythmically, as if it was mobilizing energy in an attempt to restart the repair process.

"You still want to be resurrected?"

Li Haotian grinned.

"Dream on."

He didn't even get close; it was just a fleeting thought.

"Empress, coordinates locked, void blink!"

The alien queen, far away in her desolate planetary nest, seemed to pierce through the barriers of space with her silver compound eyes, aligning with Li Haotian's gaze.

next second.

Li Haotian's figure vanished into thin air.

When it reappeared, it was already standing on the chest of that Titan emitting black smoke.

Beneath their feet lay the basketball-sized [Heart of the Void], sculpted from a perfect amethyst.

Titan's remaining left eye flickered red, as if it had sensed the ant standing on its heart.

But its movements were too slow.

Li Haotian was too lazy to even pick it up with his hands.

The shadow behind him writhed, and a menacing tail stinger covered in a bony carapace, gleaming with a cold metallic light, emerged like a venomous snake.

puff.

The tail spike precisely pierced the junction between the Void Heart and the Titan's flesh, and with a gentle flick.

That mythical-grade material was completely peeled off, wrapped in the tail spike, and delivered to Li Haotian.

Almost the instant the [Heart of the Void] left the body.

[Server-wide Announcement (Epic)]: Congratulations to player [Anonymous] and [Kyushu Team] for successfully completing the S-rank world event "The Lost Titan" for the first time globally!

[Server-wide Announcement (Epic)]: ...

Three consecutive red announcements filled the screens of all players on the entire server.

The world channel exploded instantly.

Meanwhile, Li Haotian, who was inside the ruins, received another system notification.

[Ding! Detected that you have acquired a Mythical Evolution Material: Heart of the Void!]

[The conditions for the second stage of evolution of the 'Voidwalker' branch of the gene tree have been met!]

Li Haotian played with the warm crystal in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

Done, that's a wrap.

Just then.

"Cough...cough cough..."

A violent coughing fit followed.

Indra supported himself on the ground and struggled to sit up.

He removed his helmet, which was already covered in cracks, revealing a angular, slightly pale face.

His gaze immediately locked onto the purple crystal in Li Haotian's hand, his expression complex.

Immediately afterwards, Hawkeye, Calculator, and Ghost Shadow also woke up one after another, only Shield Warrior Rock remained unconscious.

"You..." Hawkeye looked at Li Haotian, then at the Titan who had completely lost its voice, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Should we be angry that he stole the spoils, or grateful that he saved the whole team's lives?

Li Haotian jumped down from Titan's chest, walked up to Indra, and played with the Void Heart in his hand as if he were weighing a rather expensive glass ball.

"Boss, you're awake?"

Indra looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and finally let out a long breath.

"You win."

He didn't lay a hand on anyone, nor did he question anyone; he simply calmly acknowledged the fact.

"The stuff is yours now."

"Boss is indeed a straightforward person." Li Haotian chuckled and put the Void Heart into his backpack. "When doing business, I like to cooperate with sensible people like you."

He pointed to Titan's corpse.

"As agreed, the remaining parts of this thing, along with other items dropped from the dungeon, are all yours."

"I don't want a single hair."

Hawkeye's lips twitched.

You fucking ripped out the most valuable part, the heart, and now you're telling us the rest of the junk is ours?

Indra nodded.

"it is good."

He stood up and began directing his team to clean up the battlefield and treat the rock.

The entire Kyushu squad is extremely disciplined; even after just experiencing a crisis of total annihilation, they remain orderly and efficient.

Having nothing else to do, Li Haotian joined in as well.

He walked around the Titan's massive corpse, occasionally kicking the charred metal armor.

"Hey, boss."

He shouted at the fortune teller who was counting the spoils of war.

"You're all taking this?"

The fortune teller glanced back at him and said irritably, "Otherwise what? This is material from a mythical-level BOSS; it'd fetch an astronomical price on the black market."

"No!" Li Haotian said with a pained expression. "Look at these leg armors, they're all burned to charcoal, and these arms are blown to bits, they're completely worthless."

"It's just taking up space, what a waste."

"How about this?" Li Haotian rubbed his hands together, revealing the shrewdness of a businessman. "Leave these scrap metal pieces to me."

"I can't stand waste. I'll take it back, melt it down, and make some steel; that can help support national development, can't it?"

Hawkeye couldn't hold back any longer.

"Have you no shame?! We poured our hearts and souls into this, so many of us died, and you took the core and didn't even leave us a scrap?"

"You can't say that," Li Haotian retorted seriously. "I'm helping you with environmental recycling and reducing solid waste pollution. See how considerate I am?"

"you……"

"Hawkeye, let him take it."

The voice of Indra came.

Hawkeye froze, staring at his captain in disbelief.

"team leader?!"

"Let him take it," Di Shitian repeated, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Hawkeye could only shut his mouth in frustration.

Li Haotian immediately beamed with joy.

"The boss is so generous!"

He immediately summoned the few remaining worker bees, who began to dismantle parts from the Titan's corpse like industrious ants.

They specifically picked those that looked like they were made of high-quality materials and were relatively intact, and carried them down.

The members of the Kyushu team just watched helplessly as he dismantled the corpse of a mythical-level BOSS, leaving only a pile of real, worthless skeletons.

The saying "pluck feathers from a passing goose" perfectly describes this kind of person.

The same thought popped into everyone's mind.

After the battlefield was cleared, the dungeon portal slowly opened.

Di Shitian walked up to Li Haotian.

"Thank you this time."

"Sure, sure, just remember to settle the balance." Li Haotian patted his backpack, looking satisfied.

The group exited the instance.

Just as Li Haotian was preparing to part ways with them, a system notification suddenly popped up in front of him.

[WARNING: The energy contained in the item 'Heart of the Void' in your inventory is too great, exceeding the capacity of normal storage items!]

Please find a 'high-dimensional energy stable container' to store it within 24 hours, otherwise the item will be destroyed due to energy loss!

[Clue to the blueprint for the "High-Dimensional Energy Stable Container": Kyushu Database.]

Li Haotian stopped in his tracks.

He slowly turned his head to look at Indra, who was about to leave, and his smile became exceptionally bright.

"Boss, don't leave yet."

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
