Chapter 296: Dionysus' Dark Star
Chapter 296: Dionysus' Dark Star
"The move is great, but the name is a bit of a mouthful."
Qin Muye was a bit flustered. He hadn't expected Hercules to name the move "Dionysus' Dark Star."
From this, it was clear that Hercules didn't fully understand the principle behind the move but knew how to release it. Academic skills were truly impressive; they could teach something as complex as this. Using them to cast spells was the most basic application.
"Dionysus, this move is really powerful. I might even be able to kill Zeus with it. Cough, well, I didn't really want to kill the King of the Gods," Hercules said excitedly.
"How much power did you use just now?" Qin Muye was certain that Hercules hadn't used his full strength; otherwise, half the world would have exploded.
After all, he was an 8th-rank existence, far surpassing the 7th-rank server's capabilities.
"Ten percent? No, less than five percent. I only used thirty percent of my strength against that iron puppet; the opponent was too weak," Hercules said.
Even among 8th-rank beings, there were differences.
Qin Muye had underestimated both the power of "Dionysus' Dark Star" and Hercules' strength.
He had thought it would require fifty percent of his strength, but the reality exceeded his expectations. It was understandable; if he used full power, the impact wouldn't have been so minimal.
"However, there's one thing I need to mention. When I released Dionysus' Dark Star, I noticed that the iron puppet wasn't a combatant but more like a lure. It seems to be connected to some existence in another time," Hercules hesitated before adding.
"I knew it. No wonder it was so easily taken care of. It seems to be a coordinate," Qin Muye's expression remained unchanged. The puppet's strength indeed confirmed this.
"Have you noticed when the next wave will appear?"
Qin Muye couldn't use Dionysus' Dark Star because his physical constitution was inferior to Hercules'. Although his strength far exceeded the normal 6th rank, it was still a world apart from Hercules' 8th rank.
"I can't tell, but I suspect it will be in a day or two. By then, it might not just be one iron puppet but an army of them," Hercules said.
He wasn't just a musclehead; in his eyes, this terminator was merely a vanguard. The true Skynet army would soon arrive, and Qin Muye would be in serious trouble.
At this point, he finally understood why Qin Muye had initially referred to it as a major threat. It seemed there were more layers to the situation.
Qin Muye remained silent, deep in thought. The enemy clearly had the ability to mass-produce 8th-rank terminators, and these terminators possessed magnetic rotation capabilities.
If Hercules hadn't acted in time, this terminator could have reached a magnetic rotation force of 300,000 horsepower.
"Hercules, if you were to unleash your full power, could you destroy this world?" Qin Muye's tone carried a hint of frustration.
"Didn't you lock the timeline? If you destroy the world, it would be the fifth major apocalyptic crisis, preventing the other four from occurring. This would indirectly change everything and complete the long-term objective."
Hercules looked at Qin Muye with shock. He hadn't expected Qin Muye to have such a radical idea. This was a world full of life.
"Sorry, I can't do it."
"Even if I could, I wouldn't help Dionysus destroy the world."
Hercules had a strong sense of right and wrong. Saving the world was one thing, but destroying it was too much to ask.
Qin Muye turned his gaze to Hecate. If Hercules could use Dionysus' Dark Star, then Hecate, after learning it, should have no problem either.
"You want me to do it? But it's not yet necessary to destroy the world, right? If the situation is as severe as Hercules says, I believe the Olympian Pantheon would be willing to join the battle, provided you offer them sufficient benefits," Hecate neither explicitly agreed nor refused.
Though she often chatted with Qin Muye about trivial matters, she was, after all, a Titan who had lived for countless ages.
Qin Muye shook his head. He understood what Hecate meant. It was about this world.
The Olympian Pantheon wanted to expand, but the entire fairy tale world was already theirs. To expand further, they would need a new world, like the one Qin Muye was in.
The pressure would soon shift to the Olympian Pantheon. To secure their position, they would have to face Skynet and the compressed timeline.
However, Qin Muye felt that this world was already beyond saving. He didn't believe that Zeus could match the one who had compressed the timeline, even the primordial Chaos was in a precarious position.
What he really wanted was to drain the server and then move on to another one. Destroying the entire world would be a shortcut to completing the long-term objective.
It would also help him complete some activities in the territory advancement quest.
He currently lacked the power to destroy a world, even if it were the Abyss or something else. Essentially, he could only destroy the ecosystem, not the world itself.
"Alright, let's see. I do have another world, but if a superhuman being goes there, they might not survive," Qin Muye complained.
He was referring to the World of Ten Thousand Shadows, which had already changed to the World of Silence. All energy was gradually fading, leading to an era of lawlessness. Not only would superhuman abilities be lost, but scientific advancements would also collapse, potentially regressing society to a primitive state.
However, he still had a random dungeon scroll. If things went well, he could definitely open another world.
But Qin Muye wasn't in the mood, so he wasn't in a rush.
He didn't think the dungeon rewards would help him solve the problem of the compressed timeline.
So, it was better to wait.
"A world that can't accommodate superhumans?" Hecate was intrigued.
"Yes, it's filled with silence. Even Chaos would be eroded into an ordinary person, it's just a matter of time," Qin Muye said absentmindedly.
In his mind, he was continuously refining "Dionysus' Dark Star." This was actually a unique application of the four fundamental forces. It was scientific, yet not entirely so, but upon closer inspection, it made sense.
With some adjustments, it could develop into a special system, useful not just for combat but also for development and civilian life.
"Really? Such a magical world exists?" Hecate was curious but didn't consider visiting. Listening was one thing, but going there to die was another.
"Really, if you don't believe me, I can take you to see it next time," Qin Muye replied.
Hercules, on the other hand, wasn't curious. Instead, he was constantly emitting electric currents, trying to break through to 90,000 horsepower of magnetic rotation. Unfortunately, he couldn't, and had to convert it back into the dark star of the four fundamental forces.
He didn't understand the other three fundamental forces and was more inclined toward electromagnetism because it represented thunder and fire, which were powerful forces on Mount Olympus.
Unfortunately, he could only progress using the dark star because magnetic rotation wasn't compatible with them, only with terminators.
"Master, the fire source has been found, but it's completely damaged. However, we also discovered a baby," Black Hand reported to Qin Muye through the magical network.
"Baby? What's the situation?" Qin Muye was confused. The Emperor of the Magicians, an intelligent machine, wouldn't just take in a human baby without a reason.
"It was submerged in a nutrient solution, seemingly in a state of suspended animation, stopping its development," Black Hand responded.
Qin Muye frowned: "Bring the equipment over, I want to see what's going on."
He was certain that the Emperor of the Magicians wouldn't take in a human baby without a benefit.
"Yes, Master," Black Hand said and hurriedly brought the equipment over.
"Let's hope for a pleasant surprise," Qin Muye said, somewhat disappointed that the fire source was completely damaged. Otherwise, he would have been much happier.
"You all must be tired, go rest for a while, sigh," Qin Muye said to the spirited Hercules and others.
"Go ahead, I'll continue working on your dark star," Hercules said indifferently and left on his own.
Hecate also glanced at them before taking her people to rest.
