The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

"Any progress on the Maori side?" Lu Qianwei asked Irina, who was reporting to him.

"no!"

"The place where the other party is hiding is not easy to find."

"That's a pity."

While the Maori civilization cannot be considered the original inhabitants of the underground world, it certainly has an inseparable connection with prehistoric civilizations.

Of course, the most important thing is to find them, so that the consortium can travel to the surface through the passage.

Once we have the coordinates, and the portal is opened, the surface and the Earth's core will be basically connected.

Just then, Irina's terminal received another intelligence message.

"The Mak Ling team has discovered a human outpost 4,350 kilometers away."

As Irina spoke, she projected the high-definition footage recorded by the reconnaissance team.

In the picture, a group of buildings carved into a recess in a giant rock wall exudes orderliness and a sense of technology.

The entire outpost is mainly constructed of dark gray alloy, with thick walls and sharp edges.

The alloy plates are joined together seamlessly, forming a stepped structure built along the mountainside, with the main tower standing tall and imposing.

The outer perimeter is surrounded by low, functional barracks, with circular signal transceivers mounted on the top of the towers, and several watchtowers scattered around, providing a view of the entire surrounding open area.

The most striking feature is that every building's exterior walls, watchtower railings, and even the metal doors at entrances and exits are engraved with the same logo.

While others might not recognize the organization's pattern—a circle containing a monster silhouette and restraining lines—Lu Qianwei certainly did.

That's the logo of the Imperial Organization, a secret joint research and military institution comprised of multiple countries.

They are specifically responsible for tracking, researching, and monitoring ancient giant Titans.

They operate outside the jurisdiction of conventional governments, remain secretive, and have bases around the world responsible for monitoring surface monsters.

Lu Qianwei doesn't remember when the other party arrived on the hollow Earth.

But the fact that the base was not destroyed means that the story does not seem to take place after the third movie.

Should we try making contact?

"They might know how to get out of here," Irina asked.

“Not yet!” Lu Qianwei shook his head. “What we need to do now is target the kingdom ruled by Scarface King.”

To be more precise, it's the weapon in the opponent's possession that can control the Snow Demon.

Chapter 171 Snow Demon

Snow Demon, hailed as the progenitor of the MonsterVerse, Titan.

But that doesn't mean it's the ancestor of all Titans.

Rather, it refers to the fact that it was among the first Titans to be born on Earth, and that it existed at the same time as Godzilla.

As progenitor-level Titans, the Snow Demons have witnessed hundreds of millions of years of changes on Earth.

In ancient times, the alien monster King Ghidorah invaded Earth and attempted to alter its ecology.

Godzilla and other indigenous people launched a counterattack against it, and finally relied on the Snow Demon's 'freezing breath' to completely seal Ghidorah deep underground in Antarctica.

This breath also directly led to the Earth entering an ice age.

A monster with intelligence that can alter the natural environment and energy of a planet is no less powerful than a planet-destroying cannon.

Lu Qianwei had reason to believe that as long as the other party was fed enough radiation, freezing an entire star would definitely not be a problem.

Therefore, even if such a biological weapon cannot be controlled, we should still try to make it a friend.

Their primary objective now is to destroy or seize the 'Mental Resonance Crystal' from Scarface.

.........

A transport ship, escorted by several menacing-looking armed ships, arrived above a massive rock dome.

"Let's begin!" came the captain's command.

The hatch below the transport ship slowly opened, launching two capsules as clear as sapphires towards the ground.

The moment the capsule hit the ground, a rustling sound of sand and gravel rubbing against each other echoed from the depths of the deathly silent tomb.

The sound grew louder as it approached, and in the blink of an eye, a group of bizarre-looking bone-blade worms with rough, rock-like shells and bodies made up of segments rushed toward the capsule.

Before they could even eat, a roar accompanied by a deafening boom suddenly erupted from the entrance of the tomb.

A giant bone-blade worm, several times thicker than its kind, covered in dark gray rock armor, with segments raised like small hills, slowly emerged.

Its enormous head opened its mouth, revealing layers of sharp, interlocking teeth, and it roared several more times.

The worms surrounding the capsule instantly panicked and fled, cowering to the side, too afraid to approach. They could only watch as their leader greedily opened his enormous maw and began to enjoy the high concentration of radiation energy.

Watching the sickle worm intently feeding, Irina nodded to the composed woman beside her: "Ella, it's up to you now."

"Okay!" Ella took a deep breath, put on the helmet that amplified her mental power, and closed her eyes.

An invisible spiritual wave spread out from her center like ripples on water.

A direct thought, like pheromones, drifted precisely toward the worm leader.

The worm leader, enjoying its digestive process, paused in confusion, then finally looked up and found the strange bird that could speak their 'language'.

"Roar--!!"

Ignoring the threatening roar, Ella continued to transmit her mental energy, conveying no hostility, but simply asking them to do her a favor if they wanted more energy.

The worm leader's compound eyes blinked, as if it were trying to comprehend the complex information that was moving too fast.

Its underdeveloped brain was still processing the concepts of "more food" and "need to fight".

Finally, after a brief and somewhat clumsy period of thought, the worm leader finally understood what it meant after Ella repeatedly emphasized it.

As a long, deep hiss rang out, Ella opened her eyes, turned to Irina, and gave her a relieved smile: "It agreed!"

At almost the same time, similar scenes unfolded in several other monster lairs.

Some monsters agreed to the radiation capsules after taking them, while others, being lazy by nature, simply ate them and left.

Of course, in a world where the strong prey on the weak, most people who have taken radiation capsules choose to rob others.

In a canyon filled with sharp stalagmites, a horde of bat-like monsters, having enjoyed the amplified power from the radiation, unleashed a frenzied sonic attack while lunging at the transport ship, their crimson eyes filled with murderous intent.

"You ungrateful wretch!" The captain in charge of escorting the ship sneered and immediately ordered the attack ships to counterattack.

Without too many frills, most monsters on the hollow Earth don't have the top-tier physiques of Godzilla and the Snow Demon.

The dozens of energy cannons, which had been poised to fire, ruthlessly pierced through the enemy leader the moment they were unleashed.

Those soldiers blocking the path were instantly charred by the laser's high temperature.

Upon seeing this, the remaining bat-shaped Titans lost all their ferocity and scattered in panic, howling like birds and beasts.

After three or four days of travel.

Irina led several squads through various Titan territories in the Inner Earth.

Using the radiation capsules as bait and the telepathic communication with the mind communicator, they finally managed to assemble a dozen or so monster legions composed of different groups.

The monster army was not a limitation of the expeditionary force, but rather a limitation imposed by the insufficient number of beast communicators.

The alliance reviewed almost all the registered superhumans several times, and only these people agreed to take the risk.

Wow, that's really spectacular!

Standing on the spaceship platform, Lu Qianwei looked down at the vast army below, his heart filled with surging passion.

He hadn't felt this way for many years.

"Sir, everything is ready," Irina reported with a salute after returning from coordinating the operation.

Lu Qianwei nodded slightly, his gaze falling directly on the giant beasts at the very front of the herd below, whose size far surpassed that of their kind.

At the very front was a monster shaped like a fierce tiger, nearly 100 meters long, with its skin covered in crimson lava patterns, a row of sharp thorns arching up its shoulders and back, and two curved giant horns on its head.

Closely following it were the giant bone-blade worm and its dozens of minions.

Even the wartdog that appeared in the time portal is now in the team.

The leaders and their underlings counted and recorded a total of 3140 monsters.

Even if there were more, Lu Qianwei was still afraid that the Scarred Kingdom would be wiped out.

No matter what, those apes that entered the era of enslavement were more intelligent than other monsters.

Whether it's communication or interaction, their stability is far superior to that group of restless, roaring monsters below.

Moreover, it is undeniable that the upright human body shape has great advantages and flexibility in dealing with various complex environments.

Instead, these 90-meter-tall apes are dressed in exoskeletons, each wielding a naval cannon in one hand and a 40-meter-long machete in the other, charging towards the enemy...

Hehe, the scene must be spectacular.

"Ahem..." Abandoning his fantasies, Lu Qianwei asked the bumblebee beside him, "Has the passage to the second underground world been dug yet?"

Bumblebee gave an OK sign. "Drill Demon has already dug three underground tunnels yesterday."

The Drillworm is a giant mechanical worm on Botan, adept at high-speed burrowing and extremely destructive, capable of easily tearing apart buildings and rock formations.

The entire structure consists of metal joints and a drill bit, and it is up to 300 meters long.

In the inner world, as long as it doesn't encounter monsters with energy-based attacks, it can be considered a dominant force.

Chapter 172 Monster Army

On the lava throne, Scarface King comfortably accepted the roasted meat offered by his underlings, looking down at the bloody battle in the arena below.

In the arena, two strong slaves, covered in blood, slammed their fists into each other, tearing flesh and blood apart with their claws.

Each heavy impact triggered a frenzied roar from the surrounding gorillas, the noise almost lifting the entire area off its feet.

Scarface was also immersed in this frenzy. More than simple excitement, he enjoyed the thrill of controlling the life and death of others and witnessing the clash of ultimate powers.

This was the cornerstone of his stable rule, and also his most cherished pastime.
