The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Each head-shaking of the bison could break the torso of a snakehound.

The hands that had evolved specifically to capture humans made it difficult for the Devouring Beast to make a move at this moment.

The only thing they can attack is their constantly retractable teeth.

Faced with the thick, tough carapace of the giant bison, the chase kept the people in the airship watching for at least three hours.

It was only because the Devouring Beast roared and shook its beast that it was able to pin the exhausted Giant Horned Bison to the ground.

The Mana flowers in the basin were eradicated one by one by the superhuman team.

As a result, the Devouring Beasts in this area had difficulty obtaining supplies and died under the guns of various settlements.

There's no way around it; the people in the basin really have no sense of martial ethics.

First, they bombarded the area to clear out the Devouring Beasts near the Mana Flower.

Then another interference shot hit the Mana Flower, which was now only a root system, preventing it from recovering.

Then, following the same method, the poisonous spiritual energy was injected into the flower's roots, directly severing the connection with the main root system of the flower.

In the end, simply setting it on fire or uprooting it will not allow the manna ecosystem in this area to recover in a short time.

As for those tumors that can absorb various organic or inorganic substances to grow, that's even simpler.

Every other week, a batch of garbage trucks equipped with resonant frequencies are regularly destroyed and incinerated in the sky.

Looking down at the giant horned bison that had been torn apart by a large herd of Devouring Beasts.

Researchers quickly reached a conclusion using a specially designed source material observation instrument.

The Devouring Beast cannot directly steal the source matter from alien beings in other universes.

But to dismember... or more accurately, to let them die slowly amidst agonizing screams.

The emotions that erupt can be divided and absorbed by the Devouring Beasts in this process.

hiss~

That sounds pretty awful!

Originally, the Devouring Beast absorbed source matter on a one-to-one basis, but now it's like a soul that's firmly 'locked' inside its body.

They can only be broken down in the most primitive and brutal way.

"It feels like my soul and spirit have been shattered to pieces," Lu Qianwei murmured, silently mourning for the giant horned bison below.

A researcher watched as the invisible blue light spots on the instrument screen were being divided and devoured by the Devouring Beasts.

He nodded silently: "You could say that too. The way the giant bison died could indeed be described as its soul being scattered."

Okay, through this experiment, Lu Qianwei wanted to nip the possibility of using other universe humans to deal with the Devouring Beasts in the bud.

They'll destroy even robots without hesitation anyway, so whether or not humans are used to deal with them, the result will be the same.

On the third day at noon, the stargate that Lu Qianwei wanted had not yet arrived, and the gate to the D-4 area was occupied.

He led Irina's Black Fang Army to the door of a warehouse on the 12th floor.

The spare supplies here had long been used by Lu Qianwei to restart the factory and build Starlight City.

The place was almost empty, which was perfect for them to travel through time.

A large number of cars entered the warehouse, and the familiar security and preparedness procedures were set up.

Lu Qianwei led a group of researchers to set up a large number of electronic devices in front of the 15-meter-wide and 22-meter-high metal hatch.

Chapter 63 Sea Storm

Through understanding and testing the system, Lu Qianwei discovered that he didn't actually need to touch the door.

As long as there is matter connected to the gate, the system's energy can actually be transferred to the gate through that matter.

Thus, under the researchers' operation and arrangement, several metal tubular materials connected to the hatch were embedded into the metal side door.

Lu Qianwei doesn't intend to tell everyone about his ability to directly open time portals.

This kind of thing only needs to be known among the higher-ups.

After all, who knows what powerful forces or people with selfish motives might come into contact with us in the future?

If someone were to assassinate him, he wouldn't know where to turn for justice. Putting on a disguise at least makes him deceptive.

Lu Qianwei is certain that the future will inevitably lead to the stars.

Those hostile forces believed that destroying or occupying the Star Destroyer would cut off the supply lines and reinforcement channels of the spacetime army.

He could imagine the despair on their faces when they were unable to control the stargate after being seriously injured, or when it reopened.

In short, if someone tells you that the time portal was opened by a human's ability, only a fool would believe that!

With the equipment set up, under the expectant gazes of a group of senior professors, Lu Qianwei discreetly hid in a corner at the back and placed his hand on it.

After silently saying 'yes' on the system panel, a stream of azure energy flowed rapidly from his palm through the metal pipe to the metal hatch.

The Black Fang Army members looked on in surprise as the gate emitted light, while the old professors, on the contrary, all showed expressions of frustration.

This time they made thorough preparations, all in an attempt to capture Lu Qianwei's energy.

In the end, we still came up empty-handed!

Lu Qianwei paid no attention to the group of hesitant professors; his mind was already absorbed in the system interface.

"Low concentration detected in the world!"

"We currently have ample energy!"

Should we implement a permanent anchoring?

Low concentration means that this universe has only one to four dimensions.

Five- to eight-dimensional systems are rated as intermediate, while nine- to twelve-dimensional systems are rated as advanced.

Lu Qianwei could not imagine how much energy a twelve-dimensional universe would need to maintain its anchor and prevent the higher-dimensional civilization on the other side from sensing the existence of the spacetime portal.

Shaking off the thoughts in his mind, Lu Qianwei chose "no".

As usual, we'll wait until we've explored what the other side of the world is like before making any decisions.

The researcher silently withdrew, offering his affirmation, and stopped the flamboyant audio chatter.

After spending several more minutes mentally preparing himself, Lu Qianwei finally ordered the hatch to be opened.

With a clicking sound, the heavy metal hatch slowly expanded outwards under the drive of the hydraulic system.

As the soldiers, poised and ready, gripped their weapons, and the other staff peered out curiously at the world beyond, a group of uninvited guests were already arriving through the less than one-meter-wide opening.

It was a fierce wind carrying a salty, damp smell.

It rushed in wildly due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside the door, causing the researchers' clothes to flutter and the electronic instruments they had set up to shake violently.

Looking through the armored helmet, there was no land beyond the gaps as expected.

Instead, there was a vast ocean shrouded in dark, inky clouds.

The crashing seawater, the strong winds, the thunderstorm, and the sound of the waves crashing against each other suddenly brought the once quiet warehouse to life.

The wind howled like a beast, and large raindrops mixed with sea spray pounded against the inner wall of the cabin, leaving wet streaks.

Within seconds of the giant waves crashing and splashing, a large amount of seawater and fish swept into the warehouse floor.

It's obvious they're at sea now, without even needing to think.

"Look over there!" the researcher shouted.

Within the confined space of the doorway, everyone could see a gigantic wall of waves, far exceeding the surrounding waves, rapidly and menacingly hurtling towards them.

"Close the hatch!" Lu Qianwei gave the order.

The staff interrupted the procedure of opening the hatch from the outside and pulled the brake in the opposite direction, finally managing to close it again before the wave wall hit.

The muffled thuds left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

Good guy!

Lu Qianwei originally thought that this hatch would connect to some passage or opening on the other side.

The encounter at sea completely overturned his previous understanding of how the time portal was opened.

Apart from the time at the space station, I did see the D-4 hatch appear inside the cave on Gina Star.

Since there is no corresponding medium in the corresponding world, it appears directly in an open space?

The number of times the space-time portal has been opened is too few, so Lu Qianwei can only guess at this point.

Hearing the enthusiastic knocking at the door, Lu Qianwei knew that the storm was not going to stop anytime soon.

During this time, he quickly adjusted the military equipment and ordered Irina to send armed airships through another hatch.

Now, the only way to explore the world outside the portal is by using a hovercar.

Now that he has the Raven spaceship and fuel minerals in the asteroid belt outside Gina, he is no longer afraid of running out of energy.

However, before mining can begin, the necessary equipment and preparatory work will take time.

As the wheeled armored vehicles were removed, armed air-lift vehicles were stuffed back into the warehouse.

The hatch opened a crack, and the turbulent sea was gradually shrinking, thinking it would calm down in less than an hour.

Meanwhile, several elderly professors gathered together were pointing and commenting on the fish that had been thrown in.

They looked at a fish with a flattened body, a pale bluish-green back, and a shimmering white belly, and the more they looked, the more familiar it seemed.

"This looks like a silver pomfret?" a professor said uncertainly.

"It seems so, it really is!"

"Hiss, doesn't that mean..."

"What's the rush? Let's look at the other fish first..."

And so, a group of physics and geology professors began to examine the fish on the ground, turning them over and over, playing the role of biologists.

Finally, the researchers around them laid out the map of the sea in the wristband terminal and confirmed it one by one.

Only then did everyone realize that the world opposite them was Earth in a parallel universe!
