Chapter 1068: Chapter 736 Singularity F Chapter 1068: Chapter 736 Singularity F Duanmu Huai felt as if he were riding a pirate ship–first thrown high up, then crashing down hard, before slamming into the ground with a loud “clang.”
“Man, this Chaldean traversal is wilder than a landing pod drop.”
Looking at the twisted, deformed steel walls around him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. He had traversed many times, but this was the first time he encountered such a wild method. Could an ordinary person survive this?
Seriously, doesn't everyone just automatically give this method a five-star rating?
Anyway, first things first: get out.
Duanmu Huai moved his hands a bit, then with a roar, he grabbed the damaged steel pipes on either side, and with a forceful tug, the entire compartment split in half with a loud “crash.” He then stepped out and looked around.
“Let's see, where have I ended up… Huh???”
Contrary to what Duanmu Huai expected, although before him was a sea of fire that seemed on the brink of destruction, the environment was strangely familiar–wasn't this the hall they had just entered?
What's going on???
Duanmu Huai looked around. The other compartments were scattered around in disarray, and it seemed likely that many inside had not survived. As for those at the control seats, they too were scattered about, clearly long gone.
“So… did we fail?”
Confronted with the situation before him, Duanmu Huai was utterly baffled. He had never seen such a start before; just a moment ago, Olga Marie was brimming with confidence, proclaiming Chaldea's magic technology as the best in the world, and now everything had exploded?
That was embarrassingly unsatisfactory.
“Any survivors???”
Without much hope, Duanmu Huai called out and turned his head, only to find the doorway blocked with rubble. Oh great, was there no way out? Well, although Duanmu Huai himself wouldn't die, this start was indeed quite shocking… perhaps this was acceptable?
“Whimper———-!”
Just then, Duanmu Huai suddenly heard a cry not far away. He walked toward the sound, climbed over the rubble, and then saw a pink-haired young girl pinned under a massive stone, with a… white squirrel standing beside her?
What on earth is that?
“Ah……”
Perhaps sensing Duanmu Huai's presence, the girl slowly looked up at him.
“Senior…….”
“Mash… Well, to think you could survive this, that's impressive…….”
Seeing Mash before him, Duanmu Huai was speechless. The massive rock was directly crushing the young girl's waist. An ordinary person would have been dead by now, yet Mash was somehow still alive, which was quite unexpected for Duanmu Huai.
“Uh, first let's get you out from under there, then try some medical gel to see if it can save your life. I don't know any healing magic…….”
“No, Senior, there's no…….”
Mash shook her head as she heard Duanmu Huai speak, but the next moment, she widened her eyes in surprise–the Duanmu Huai before her placed his hands on the giant stone, which was as tall as a two-story building, and with a roar, he lifted the heavy stone up!
At that moment, Mash even doubted if she were hallucinating from blood loss, only to then see Duanmu Huai yell out loudly, and with a sudden upward heave, he forcibly lifted the stone away!
“Bang!!”
The heavy stone smashed to the ground, making it seem as if the ground itself trembled. Duanmu Huai then approached Mash and looked closely at her.
“Wow… that's terrible…….”
Seeing the severely crushed body of Mash, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but inhale sharply in shock, honestly amazed she was still alive.
“I don't know any healing magic, and it seems I don't have many around who do.”
As Duanmu Huai muttered to himself, he crouched down, opened his personal terminal, and applied some medical gel from Star Union on Mash. It had to be said that this product was top-notch in emergency medical treatments, truly deserving its reputation for bringing you back even when your health bar was critical. With the application of the medical gel, Mash's breathing gradually stabilized, and the bleeding began to heal.
“Detected multiple comminuted fractures throughout the patient's body. Rest required?”
Seeing the scan results on the personal terminal, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.
“Oh great, and where should we rest?”
“Boom!!”
At that moment, as if to affirm Duanmu Huai's words, a piece of debris fell and hit the ground. Soon, the whole room began to tremble, looking ready to collapse.
“Ah, let's just get out of this hellish place first.”
Duanmu Huai picked up Mash and surveyed the surroundings, considering whether to break through a wall to escape, when suddenly, he heard an artificial announcement in his ear.
[Reassigning the designation of Number 39 to Master]
[Counter-summoning System, activate]
[Spirit Particle Conversion, initiating, countdown to Spirit Particle Transfer: 3, 2, 1…….]
Duanmu Huai saw a space open up before him, forming a vortex-like hole, and then he was sucked into it.
The next moment, a dazzling white light swirled and burst forth, engulfing Duanmu Huai's vision.
[All processes completed, starting actual verification: First Order]
“Bang!!!”
Duanmu Huai heavily fell onto the ground, like a giant rock free-falling from the sky.
“Damn, even standard teleportation isn't a great experience, I'm definitely giving it a one-star review when I get back!”
He stood up, dusted himself off, and couldn't help but complain as he turned to look around.
“What the hell is this place?”
Looking around, it was clear that he was in a destroyed city, with collapsed skyscrapers and extinguished traffic lights, no signs of civilization's light anywhere. Only distant wildfires shot up into the sky, painting the originally dark and gloomy heavens red. The roads were littered with wrecked cars and human corpses everywhere, giving off a completely devastated appearance.
“This is Singularity F, senior,”
Just then, Mash's voice appeared again, and Duanmu Huai turned to see the girl standing not far from him. Unlike before, she was now wearing something akin to a black one-piece swimsuit tight outfit, holding a shield that was even bigger than herself.
“You can walk now?”
It had to be said, Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised at this point, considering his personal terminal had just reported that the girl had suffered comminuted fractures all over her body and needed rest. Yet now, here she was, hopping around with a shield bigger than herself?
“This is actually… Be careful!”
Before she could finish, Mash seemed to sense something, abruptly turned around, and lifted her shield. At the same time, Duanmu Huai saw a red flash pass under the burning night sky, and then–transformed into a roaring rain of arrows descending toward them.
“MASTER!!”
Mash quickly raised her shield towards the sky, and soon Duanmu Huai saw something like a magic barrier unfold around them, encompassing both. Immediately afterwards, a storm of arrows whistled down, but all were completely blocked by Mash's shield.
But this… won't do.
Long-distance attacks, I hate long-distance attacks the most!
Duanmu Huai wasn't just going to stand there. With a flick of his right hand, the next moment, the Power Armor materialized out of thin air, enveloping his body. Seeing Duanmu Huai's sudden change, Mash was surprised. However, in the moment the adversary's attack paused, Duanmu Huai reached out, grabbed Mash, and lifted her up.
“MASTER?”
“Getting hit passively isn't my style!”
While saying this, Duanmu Huai clenched the Thunder Warhammer in his hand, gazing towards a red steel High Tower in the distance. He was certain that the attack just now had come from there!
“What goes around comes around, hang on tight!”
No sooner had he spoken than his Jet Backpack behind him instantly blasted a strong current of air, and the next moment Duanmu Huai soared straight off the ground like a missile, heading directly towards the distant steel tower!!
Shooting up into the air, Duanmu Huai also immediately saw, at the top of the tower, a man with black skin and white hair, looking like a Drow Elf. Seeing Duanmu Huai, the white-haired Darkskin also seemed surprised, then Duanmu Huai saw him bend his bow, aiming at him, and then shot an arrow!
“Fuck you!”
Even though Duanmu Huai wasn't proficient in long-range shooting, that didn't mean he liked being kited. As the white-haired Darkskin shot his arrow, Duanmu Huai also cursed loudly, throwing the Thunder Hammer in his hand straight at the steel tower. At the same time, Mash also raised her shield, protecting him!
“Boom———-!!”
The arrow from the white-haired Darkskin hit Mash's shield and immediately exploded, turning into a cluster of fireworks engulfing both of them. Meanwhile, the Thundering Hammer also crashed into the steel tower, causing thunder and lightning to flash, and the entire tower blew up on the spot, completely engulfing the white-haired Darkskin.
The fireball shrank and then suddenly exploded, after which Duanmu Huai, holding Mash, descended from the sky, landing directly on the ruins of the now unrecognizable steel tower.
“That bastard got away, damn!”
Duanmu Huai scanned the surroundings, the Bird Divination Tool showed no signs of life in the vicinity, meaning that the white-haired Darkskin had really made a quick escape…
“Senior, what is this…?”
Now that Duanmu Huai had put her down, Mash looked at him in amazement and couldn't help but ask. After all, Duanmu Huai's armor was too conspicuous.
“Is this your magic attire?”
“More or less.”
Although Duanmu Huai wasn't sure what Mash was referring to, if she said so, then it must be.
“But seriously, where exactly are we?”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's complaint, Mash looked around and then pondered for a moment.
“If I'm not mistaken, then we have now arrived at Singularity F through Spirit Particle Conversion.”
“So, it's the node of human destruction that Olga Marie mentioned?”
After thinking for a while, Duanmu Huai quickly recalled Olga Marie's earlier remarks.
“Remember we're supposed to either fix or destroy it… But what do we do now?”
This place seems too wrecked to be repairable, not even a few living souls left, how are we supposed to fix it?
Just then, suddenly a voice rang out.
“In that case, would you like me to lend a hand to you guys?”
“Who's there?”
Hearing the voice, Mash quickly raised her shield, placing it in front of Duanmu Huai, looking towards the source of the voice. Then, they saw a man with blue hair, wearing a long robe and holding a Magic Wand, emerge smiling cheerfully from the ruins' shadows.
“Meeting is destiny, since it looks like your enemies are also my enemies, why don't we join forces?”
Facing Duanmu Huai, the blue-haired man spoke with a smile.
