“Wait a minute!”
Fia bit her lip: “Things haven’t gotten that bad yet. Perhaps it can still be salvaged!”
“Don’t forget your duty, Safety Officer Fia!”
Virt’s expression suddenly changed, shifting from a playful grin to a solemn demeanor: “I’ve handled 34 lab accidents for the Alliance and deeply understand what must be done now! To prevent the spread and escalation of harm, certain sacrifices are inevitable!”
“You’re absolutely right!”
Fia’s face rapidly changed expressions, then she turned her head away, her eyes seemingly glistening: “Proceed then!”
“Star Destroyer Cannon, Level One Readiness!”
Following Virt’s command, numerous colorful beams of light gathered at the front of the airship, forming into a massive cannon barrel.
“Target—the wormhole!”
Virt glanced at the wormhole, which was becoming increasingly irregular, as if something was about to break through into reality at any moment. He waved his right hand: “Fire!”
Whoosh!
An enormous crimson beam of light, surrounded by spiraling arcs of energy, curved through space and suddenly struck the center of the wormhole.
Boom!
Violent explosions erupted, sending out astonishing shockwaves that kicked up cosmic dust, immediately obscuring visibility.
At that moment, the terrifying power of the Star Destroyer Cannon not only completely engulfed the wormhole but also affected the nearby space station.
This was also why Fia had hesitated initially.
After all, if their piloting skills were even slightly off, it was highly likely that both the space station and the wormhole would be destroyed together!
“Did we succeed?”
Fia stared anxiously at the scene ahead.
“No! Not yet!”
Virt’s expression was now extremely serious: “Bring up the previous footage!”
A screen appeared, replaying the footage slowed down by tens of thousands of times.
To Fia’s horror, before the Star Destroyer Cannon struck the wormhole’s center, a tiny black dot had appeared on its surface.
“Zoom in! Zoom in!”
Virt roared. The image was continuously magnified until finally revealing the tiny black dot as a clearly visible Krivian-shaped creature!
“That’s impossible!”
Fia shook her head in disbelief: “Even if a creature could survive in space, it shouldn’t be able to traverse a wormhole!”
“I’m afraid the facts say otherwise!”
General Virt looked straight ahead: “Immediately send a message to the Alliance Military Department. We might be facing a creature more dangerous than the Zerg!”
“You’re saying… that creature survived the blast? That’s impossible! It defies science!”
Fia felt like she was going insane.
“A creature capable of traversing wormholes cannot be measured by science alone!”
As Virt spoke, the airship’s lasers finally cleared away the cosmic dust, revealing the scene before them.
The wormhole was gone, and in its place floated a strange figure.
He had black hair and black eyes, but lacked the forehead markings symbolizing power and honor, as well as the beautiful triple pupils, creating a bizarre impression.
“Extra-dimensional being! Capture it!”
Her researcher instincts kicked in, causing Fia to blurt out: “Studying it will surely advance our Alliance’s biotechnology!”
“Capture it?”
General Virt’s face bore a bitter smile: “It would be great if it doesn’t destroy us first…”
Suddenly, his mouth opened wide in fury: “Damn that idiotic old man!”
Looking ahead, Fia saw the battered space station open, numerous small aircraft emerging, clearly targeting the newly appeared creature.
“These are the space station’s combat squadrons. The director ordered their deployment!”
Fia murmured.
“Capture it! Seize it! This culprit who caused my experiment’s failure shall atone for his crimes with his own body!”
Inside the research facility, the director’s bloodshot eyes burned with madness.
…
“Ah…chew… This is… outside the universe!”
At the former center of the wormhole, Wu Ming leisurely stretched, opening his eyes.
After an indeterminate amount of time exploring, he had finally fully mastered the power of a ninth-level Exalted, taking human form and leaving the end of the River of Time.
As for arriving here, it was purely accidental.
After all, the River of Time was the source of all dimensional universes and worlds—he could go anywhere.
But the wormhole’s fluctuations had formed a weak point.
Since it saved some effort, Wu Ming naturally didn’t refuse.
However, what frustrated him slightly was that immediately after emerging, he was hit by a blast from the Star Destroyer Cannon.
“A purely technological universe, and so advanced? The power of that laser cannon earlier rivals that of a seventh or eighth-level cultivator…”
His divine consciousness swept outward, instantly revealing all surrounding conditions within Wu Ming’s perception.
The aggressive capture aircraft approaching only made him chuckle in disbelief: “Truly… ignorance breeds fearlessness!”
His expression suddenly turned calm: “Since you’ve angered me, are you ready to face my wrath, you insects?”
Boom!
A vast wave of spiritual power swept through, and although the language was alien, Fia and others immediately understood its meaning.
“It’s intelligent, and this power… is it a god?”
Watching the screen showing the creature effortlessly absorbing the Star Destroyer Cannon blast, General Virt’s face turned grim: “Quickly… we must leave here immediately! Abandon the space station too!”
Unfortunately, his decisive action couldn’t save his life.
Whoosh!
In the next instant, golden flames ignited within this nebula, rapidly spreading and engulfing the space station and numerous airships.
A ninth-level existence approached omnipotence, capable of destroying small worlds with a mere thought.
Previously, the Infinite Ouroboros’ archenemy, the ninth-level being Oxythor Felice, had only manifested a fragment of anger—an incomplete will—not even worthy of being called a projection. Yet it had been enough to gravely wound the semi-ninth-level Void Visage!
The gap between them was simply immeasurable.
Now, Wu Ming had unleashed his wrath.
The moment the angry thought arose, golden flames spontaneously emerged from the void, carrying terrifying willpower, destroying everything visible within this nebula.
Boom!
The aircraft were instantly vaporized, followed by the entire space station being consumed by flames.
Even the airships fleeing at full speed couldn’t escape the flames’ pursuit, one by one being caught by fire tongues and bursting into brilliant, dazzling sparks.
“Beep!”
“Beep!”
In deep space several star systems away, numerous cosmic observatories immediately flashed red warning lights: “Cosmic-level catastrophe detected! Coordinates…”
“Activate emergency protocols, report to the Alliance Military Department, preparing for interstellar strikes!”
…
“Failure again… a Primordial-level wormhole!”
At the highest academy on Krivian Prime, an elderly man with silver hair let out a slow sigh.
Golden markings adorned his forehead, his eyes containing six pupils—indicative of reaching the pinnacle of genetic power development without ever undergoing cloning or consciousness transfer life-prolonging procedures.
Before him, a giant screen displayed the previous scenes from the space station and wormhole.
“An immensely powerful, space-time warping extra-dimensional being… If I had known what lay beyond the wormhole was something like that, not even the devil himself would want to study it!”
The alien elder chuckled bitterly, his face filled with helplessness: “Notify the Supreme Chief, prepare to activate all secret weapons, and destroy those star systems! Also, the Ark Escape Plan must be immediately implemented!”
Only someone at his level could comprehend the terrifying nature of that power.
The entire Krivian race had provoked such an existence, and their extinction was practically inevitable.
“There will certainly be debates at the joint meeting, but after the subsequent allied forces and attacks fail, they’ll understand…”
The elder slowly spoke, then tapped the ground with his cane.
Zrrr!
The metallic, surreal flooring split open, revealing a nutrient tank containing a youthful, vibrant body with closed eyes, seemingly asleep.
“Proceed immediately with consciousness transfer and memory copying and backup!”
He ordered solemnly, casting one last glance at the extra-dimensional being on the screen: “Its abilities remain unknown—we must add another layer of insurance for ourselves!”
Suddenly, his expression froze.
Because in the footage, Wu Ming suddenly looked directly at him.
What an incomprehensibly vast and mysterious gaze it was—meeting it felt like all his secrets were being excavated.
“Fleshling, dare you spy on me!”
A mighty voice directly echoed within his mind.
Even though he didn’t understand the language at all, he immediately grasped its meaning.
“Impossible… this is merely a recording, having undergone countless relays and transmissions—how could it change?”
The elder paled, frantically retreating.
Whoosh!
Unfortunately, even facing just the image of a ninth-level being, this medium was enough for Wu Ming’s wrath to descend.
In the next instant, golden flames erupted from the alien’s body, turning him into a torch.
Space collapsed accordingly, and endless flames leaked out, directly ravaging Krivian Prime.
“Foolish mortals…”
Wu Ming stood in the void, watching the scene unfold, letting out a soft sigh.
Although he wasn’t entirely clear about this species’ status within their universe, that planet was obviously their homeworld.
At this moment, an entire planet was perishing under his wrath, equivalent to severing the Krivian race’s head.
What followed, even without his intervention, the oppressed species would inevitably rise in retaliation.
This alien’s era of cosmic dominance had thus ended in such a confused manner.
And the entire cause was simply because their research had provoked him.
“How boring…”
Wu Ming sighed: “This universe no longer holds any value for me to stay…”
