Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

"The existing shock bombs aren't powerful enough! I need to use the eternal-level spell 'Doomsday Echo' to enhance them..."

Arachne, in her goddess form, once again traced patterns in the void with her hands. Countless intricate arcane runes, like living stars, flowed and combined at her fingertips, ultimately forming an extremely complex three-dimensional model.

On the model, several nodes flashing red are precisely marked.

"These are the best detonation points." Arachne's voice was clear and steady. "The shockwaves starting from these points will trigger rock resonance, leading to a massive eruption."

She took the heavy and sophisticated high-energy geological shock bomb from Liu Nian's hands.

The bomb floated in her hand, its metallic outer shell flowing and deforming like liquid, revealing a complex energy core and detonation device inside.

With Arachne's knowledge, she could easily figure out how to use the device after a little research.

She then spent a full ten minutes preparing the spell Doomsday Echo and imbuing it onto the bomb.

Arachne then quickly set the parameters and deactivated the safety devices by tapping several key runes with his fingertips.

"Delay, 30 seconds. After placement, we will teleport away immediately." She looked at Liu Nian.

Liu Nian nodded: "Let's do it."

With a flick of her wrist, Arachne sent the bomb, protected by arcane energy, into a dim streak of light as it plunged into the churning sea of ​​fire below. It disappeared at the edge of the dark golden lava and the dark vortex, before being guided by Arachne to the depths of the pre-set rock formation.

The countdown starts.

The two stopped watching, and Arachne immediately began constructing a teleportation portal back to the floating city. Starlight-like threads spread from her body, weaving into a stable circular portal, at the other end of which the cold, metallic ground of the floating city could be vaguely seen.

"Let's go." Arachne stepped in first.

Liu Nian glanced back one last time at the burning sea of ​​fire below, then turned and stepped into the portal.

The light from the teleportation dissipated in the scorching air, and the edge of the cliff returned to deathly silence, with only the endless roar of the sea of ​​fire below.

3...2...1...

The countdown has ended.

Buzz~~~~~~~~~

The first thing we heard was not a sound, but a vibration!

The space began to rustle, and the sea of ​​fire boiled like activated magnetofluid, as if it were a living thing about to awaken.

soon--

boom!!!!!!!!!

An unimaginable amount of energy erupted.

Even though they were already hundreds of kilometers away inside the floating city, Liu Nian and Arachne still felt a dull tremor beneath their feet!

Dust began to fall from the dome of the floating city of Anaxim, carried by a terrifying force emanating from the depths of the earth's crust.

Then came a deafening roar, like the roar of the end of the world, faintly emanating from the depths of the earth!

There was no dazzling firelight; initially, only a ring of pure white, terrifying shockwaves, visible to the naked eye, distorted space and swept outwards in all directions at a speed exceeding the speed of sound!

Wherever the shockwave passed, the hard, mineral-rich rock layers silently turned into dust like crispy cookies!

Complex dwarf mine tunnels, goblin-dug pits, ancient geological faults... all structures were destroyed and flattened in an instant!

The shockwave struck precisely the solid "rock shell" beneath the goblin fortress. This area, which the goblin engineers called an "incredibly sturdy foundation" and had countless deep steel piles driven into it, couldn't even hold out for a second before it crumbled and collapsed entirely in the shockwave!

Meanwhile, the goblins, unaware of the impending doom, were still busy with their duties in the steel fortress. Soon, the goblin steel fortress, which resembled a block castle, collapsed, tilted, and then fell apart amidst a tooth-grinding sound of metal twisting and cracking!

Inside the fortress, tens of thousands of goblin players, engineers, soldiers, and slaves, who were busy, arguing, or enjoying the resources they had plundered just a second ago, were thrown and thrown to the ground by the devastating tremors coming from beneath their feet.

Immediately following, the metal beams above collapsed, the ruptured energy pipes exploded, and hot rock fragments rained down!

"No--!!"

"What happened?!"

"The fortress is collapsing! Run!!"

"Teleportation array! Activate the teleportation array!!"

"Energy core overloaded! Unable to start!"

"Help—!"

Desperate screams, terrified cries, and dying wails were instantly drowned out by the even louder sounds of collapse and explosion.

But this is just the beginning.

The shockwave continued downwards, tearing through the rock layers more deeply and violently, finally reaching the boundary that Arachne called the "energy vessel of the fire elemental lord".

The "blood vessel wall," already weakened by long-term absorption, was torn open by this terrifying force from both inside and outside, creating a huge rift that reached all the way to its boiling core!

The raging fire elemental energy, hidden deep within the earth's crust and suppressed for countless years, has found an outlet!

roar--!!!!!!

Like the roar of a prehistoric beast, the tangible sound waves, mixed with unimaginable high temperature and pressure, burst forth from the crack!

What surged forth first was not magma, but extremely concentrated dark golden flames!

These flames, like living, angry dragons, surged upwards through the collapsed rock strata and along the cracks in the goblin fortress!

Wherever it passed, all matter, whether rock, metal, or the flesh and blood of goblins, vaporized instantly, leaving not even ashes behind!

Next came the thick, blood-like lava torrent that had accumulated over countless years!

With overwhelming force, it surged wildly from the crack, flowing along the huge channel opened by the shockwave, pouring into the ruins of the collapsed goblin fortress above, and then rushing and devouring everything in the surrounding space that could spread!

The entire underground space was transformed into a true inferno within minutes!

The intense heat distorted vision; the air seemed to be burning, and the rocks were melting...

The ruins of the goblin fortress melted away like candles in the lava.

Those high-level goblins who were lucky enough to survive the initial collapse and tried to escape were mostly engulfed by flames or consumed by lava in the next second, turning into a wisp of smoke or a charred shadow that was instantly carbonized.

The flames and lava were not satisfied with just that.

They spread and sprayed along countless natural cracks and channels, either dug by goblins or just shaken open, towards higher and wider areas!

The surface of the molten ore vein area began to rise violently and crack!

Crimson light shone through countless cracks, illuminating the dim underground world in a blood-red hue.

Immediately afterwards, thick pillars of fire, like angry giant spears, shot into the sky from these cracks!

Mushroom-shaped clouds of smoke, carrying thick smoke, ash, gravel, and molten metal, began to accumulate and churn at the top of the confined underground space.

The volcano has erupted completely!

Moreover, since it erupted in a relatively enclosed, huge underground space, its power and destructive force were compressed, making it appear even more concentrated and terrifying!

Even more bizarrely, at the location of the initial crack, amidst the dark golden flames and lava, a dark red "portal" with molten spatial ripples flowing along its constantly rotating edges is slowly taking shape and stabilizing.

On the other side of the portal, an even hotter, more violent, otherworldly aura, as if countless fiery beings were roaring, faintly emanated—the permanent passage to the Fire Elemental Plane was opening!
