Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1242: Judgement Day

"Descend! Descend!"

"There are still 3,500 meters to the ground …"

"3000 meters …"

Blue and red lights flickered continuously, interweaving into a blurry color in the narrow escape pod, intertwining on Allen's face. Alan was fixed to his seat, and the screen in front of him was filled with numbers that were constantly falling. That was the distance between the escape pod and the ground.

After they rushed into the transport ship, the Kidd Guards quickly arrived at the invaded cabin. Naturally, Allen and the others would not surrender. A battle broke out immediately. Because there were no experts ranked high on the transport ship, Alan didn't have to make a move during the entire battle. Just Laura and Bai alone had caused the Kidd's reformed soldiers to complain bitterly.

The Kidds' beam weapons accidentally wounded the ship's power stove during the battle, causing the explosion that later caused the ship's hull to break apart. Allen and the others were quite lucky. They were not far from the escape cabin, so they took the escape cabin in time when the transport ship disintegrated.

However, now that they had entered Agares, they did not know where they would land. This was a far cry from their original plan.

Alan didn't have time to sigh at this moment. He could only hope that it wasn't too bad for him to land in the territory of one of the Sovereigns. The readings were still falling. When they were 1,500 meters away from the ground, all the escape ships spat out electric fires from the bottom. The speed of the escape capsules immediately slowed down. Moments later, the five escape ships successfully landed. The distance between each escape capsule was more than a hundred meters, but they were still in the same area. Otherwise, if they were to disperse, it would be a headache on this strange planet.

After a violent tremor, Alan saw the cabin door in front of him bounce out. Looking out of the escape cabin, the outside of the cabin was dim. It seemed like night on Agares. Outside, the wind was howling and the temperature was extremely low, but for Alan, this kind of climate was far from fatal. After his transformation, he could survive in almost any harsh environment. If he transformed a few more times, he would probably be able to travel freely through space like the Grai Giant.

Escaping from the planet and traveling freely between the stars was probably the ultimate goal of all life's evolution. That was extreme freedom.

As for now, Allen had already surpassed most life in the universe, but he had yet to reach the end of life. So he obediently unlocked the safety device and jumped out of the cabin. This was the first time in his life that he had set foot on Agares, the darkest and most chaotic planet in the universe.

For a moment, his heart felt extremely strong.

The sky was dim, but it wasn't completely dark. A faint light landed on the ground. With this light, Alan could already see the world around him. The escape capsule landed on a snowy plain. The snowy plain had hills rising and falling, but the ground was covered with thick ice and snow. Alan stepped in and snow covered his knees. Agares' snow was blue, and the pale blue snow covered a blue land.

"Alan."

"Young Master."

In the other escape cabins, Laura and the others jumped into the snow and gathered in Alan's direction.

"Is everyone alright?" Alan asked.

Laura shook her head and Belmord shrugged, "Everything is fine except for the excitement."

"What a fart!" Hubble shook his head and said, "Why do I feel so strange? I feel so dizzy. Don't you think the entire world here is spinning?"

Laura laughed, "Big man, did you break your head?"

"It is indeed a bit strange, father." Bai frowned, "I feel very confused …"

"Chaos?" Alan simply released his Origin Energy. The Origin Energy spread out around him. As expected, it was disturbed within a few meters, making it difficult for Alan to freely control the direction of the Origin Energy. It was as if a strange force field was shrouding the surroundings, causing the Origin Energy in this space to become very chaotic. Those who were accustomed to perceiving things with Origin Energy would experience what Bai called "chaos" in such an environment.

Alan looked at the night sky. In the distance, beneath the curtain of night, there was a row of twisting bands of light, like polar light. However, his intuition told him that it was probably not an aurora, but a spatial light belt.

The Origin Energy in this area was very unstable, and the information provided by Mirren did not correspond to the description of this environment.

"Anyway, we've finally arrived safely. Let's look for signs of life nearby, especially intelligent life. If we find the planet's natives, then at least we'll know where we are right now." "Let's check our supplies first. We don't know how long we're going to stay in this area. It doesn't look like a rich place," Allen said.

When they set off, Windsor Belo had prepared enough energy food and compressed freshwater medicines, as well as medical kits, to help them survive the most difficult period of their first arrival on the planet. As a result, everyone returned to their own escape capsules and dug out a backpack.

When Bai pulled out his backpack, he suddenly felt a sense of alarm in his heart. His instincts had always been accurate. The youth immediately pulled his backpack and retreated. At the same time, a golden beam of light pierced through the other side of the cabin. If he wanted to slow down a bit, he would have to poke a hole in his head. The beam of light slashed across everything, and the upper half of the escape cabin slipped diagonally, revealing a figure behind it.

This sudden change attracted the attention of Allen and the others. Allen mentioned Red King and immediately appeared beside him with a single step. Belmord brought Laura out of the black mist, but the landing point was slightly off. The two of them walked out of the black mist in midair, and Belmord frowned. It was as if the strange force field in this space had affected his judgment. Hubble also came with his axe, and three groups of people surrounded the figure in the shape of a half moon.

It's Siddy who's surrounded.

The Kidd landed his military traction device in the nearby snowy plains along with Allen and the others' escape capsules. He was not in a hurry to leave. Moreover, when he saw that the person who came out of the escape ship was obviously not a Kidd, his killing intent grew even more intense. There were two reasons. One was that these people were obviously the ones who invaded the transport ship. Without them, the transport ship would not have exploded, let alone the terrible things that would have happened afterwards. The second point was Sidi's mission, as Windsor Belo and the others had guessed. Usually, there was no need for a Gold rank expert to transport clean water, so Sidi actually had a special mission to Agares this time.

He can't let everyone know his whereabouts.

"Look at you" Siddy's left eye also underwent a mechanical modification. In his electronic eye, he had already scanned the life characteristics of Ellen and the others in front of him. "There are humans, humanoids, Gatu people, what kind of messy combination is this?"

His last gaze landed on Alan, and the compound image of the electronic eye was unable to analyze Alan's vital signs. Under the scanning of the electronic eye, Alan took on a human-shaped outline. There was no more information other than that. Siddy looked at Alan and said, "Who are you?"

Ellen said calmly, "Shouldn't I ask? It looks like you're a Kidd, and you're not of low class."

It is no secret that the Kidds distinguish classes by the color of the metal in their bodies. "Of course, but I don't have to tell you where I came from," said Siddy, who had the golden armor, proudly. "Because you will soon become corpses one by one."

Bai Leng snorted and suddenly rushed out. His movements were very strange. He moved left and right like a snake, making it difficult for people to lock onto him. Bai left behind a series of shadows, and just as he was about to collide with Sidi, he slipped behind him in a flash. The youth clenched his fist and smashed it. Snake scales appeared on the tip of his fist, and it closed like a wave. Thus, the power of Bai's punch increased by another three points. His fist pierced through the air, producing Yu Lei Zhen Ming.

"Get lost!" Siddy shouted angrily, his armor suddenly lifted up and a few rows of guns shot out from it. He couldn't help but shoot a round of saturated fire at his back. Hundreds of golden spheres of light shot out, covering a hundred meters of space. The ball of light exploded continuously. The golden flames gathered into a pillar of fire, instantly destroying the snow in this space and forming large clumps of water vapor.

In the water vapor, Bai Feng flew out. He was fine, but the grey-headed and grey-faced obviously wouldn't be able to take advantage of him.

Siddy's aura continued to grow. Under his modified golden armor, iron needles stretched out. They were short and long, but all of them shot out golden lightning snakes. The lightning serpent quickly interweaved a bolt of lightning armor around his body, and Siddy's entire body seemed to be enveloped by a ball of lightning. In the flickering lightning, he floated into the air and smiled sinisterly, "I have no time to play with you. Let me send all of you to your deaths."

He rose more than ten meters into the air, and the ball of lightning armor continuously shot out golden lightning as thick as a tree trunk towards the surrounding space. Siddy looked down at the crowd and swept over a dozen thick bolts of lightning. Wherever the lightning arrived, the ice and snow melted, leaving behind a winding black mark on the ground, the power of which could not be ignored.

Two streaks of lightning intertwined and plowed towards Bai's location. The youth flashed between the streaks of lightning, and the two streaks of golden lightning collided and blossomed with dazzling light. An explosion sounded in the light. From afar, a golden fireball was rising from the snowy plains.

The remaining bolts of lightning swept towards Belmord and the others. Belmord slid backwards and retreated into a black mist, allowing the bolt of lightning to sweep through the air. Laura immediately turned into an orc. She dodged the lightning on one side and charged at an oblique angle. The Blood Shattering Giant Sword glowed with blood as Laura sprinted across the snow plains, pulling out a string of blood-red tail flames. Laura locked onto Sidi and leapt into the air. The Blood Braking Sword swept across, but Sidi stepped on the sword with a kick.

Not only did Sha Xue sink under his feet, but a few golden lightning snakes as thick as fingers also attacked along the sword. Laura's long hair fell upside down, stimulating her Origin Energy to meet the lightning snake. A ball of light suddenly lit up in midair, and within the light, Laura flew back.

Four or five bolts of lightning swept towards Alan, almost hitting him. A dark fog-like flame rose in Allen's eyes, and he turned his head away. The lightning seemed to have hit an invisible obstacle as it turned to the other side of Allen and continued to leave.

Siddy raised his hand and shot out a golden beam of light from his palm, forcing Belmord out of the black mist behind him. A few more small missiles shot out of his shoulder armor, blowing up the two-edged axe that Hubble had thrown at him from the ground. He hurriedly looked at Ellen and saw that the lightning had been deflected by Ellen. Siddy couldn't help but exclaim.

Alan met his gaze. In Alan's eyes, Siddy saw the rising flames and his figure in the flames.

For some reason, he was shocked.

Alan reached out and held onto Red King's scabbard. "It's just Fendi's level. How dare you be so arrogant …"

Within his body, the trial circuit lit up after the transformation, and the aura on Alan's body instantly became dignified and heavy. A wisp of purple light flickered in the snowy plains beneath Sidi's feet. This wisp of purple light swiftly swam away, forming a symbol.

That's Eboynes.

More and more of these words appeared one after another on the snowy plains, densely packed, circling around and spreading out, covering nearly square kilometers of snow. Then, these words came out of the snow and rose up in circles. From afar, it was as if a purple pillar of light had risen from the snowy plains, and Siddy was surrounded by this pillar of light made up of countless words.

The Kidd general felt an inexplicable fear. In these words, it was as if he was in another world.

He wanted to escape.

However, at this moment, the pillar of light suddenly shrank, and the subtle and numerous words were all printed on his body.

Siddy's entire body was covered in purple light symbols. The golden ball of lightning that wrapped around him began to shrink. The color of the lightning gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared. Not only that, Sidi's Origin Energy was still falling. In the blink of an eye, his level had dropped by five levels, from a ruler to an Awakened.

"How could it be like this? How could it be like this?" Siddy shouted. Origin Energy dissipated, and a drop in rank was only possible when there was a serious injury. However, he didn't have any injuries on his body, so how could he be downgraded? Siddy couldn't understand, but his gaze suddenly fell on the purple light symbols that covered his entire body, and his pupils contracted abruptly.

"This is Judgment Day" Alan sighed softly. This was the first time he had used the new ability of the trial circuit. The purpose of Judgement Day is to create a home field in a similar field where targets judged to be enemies by Allen will be tried. The target's Origin Energy and level would drop, and the drop would be corrected by Allen and the target's level difference.

Simply put, those below Allen's level would be suppressed, and the lower the level would be. If his level was close to or even higher than Allen's, then the drop in level would be relatively small.

Siddy's level was lower than Alan's, so he was suppressed even more. Not only had he fallen, he had also forcibly lowered his level.

His lightning ball was a type of engraved armor. Now that the lightning ball had disappeared, it was no longer able to construct an armor. This was a sign of his downgrade.

At this time, the clouds above the curtain of night surged and gradually formed a cloud vortex. The vortex of clouds slowly emitted flames, as if flames were rolling in the clouds. Even sparks began to fly down from the sky. When Siddy raised his head, Allen drew his saber and slashed at the Kidd general in midair.

At the same time, the center of the cloud vortex suddenly lit up, and a fire waterfall sprayed out. The fire waterfall descended like a crimson saber from the sky. This Skyfire Saber slashed past Sidi. The Kidd general's eyes were wide open. He couldn't believe that he didn't even have a single attack from Alan. He was extremely unwilling, but the world in his eyes tilted to the left and right, and in the middle was an abyss of darkness.

The general's corpse was separated in the middle, flushed red and shining. Heavenly flames invaded the corpse, burning Siddy's flesh and blood to ashes, while the metal parts melted into iron juice and spilled down.

The metal cube in his hand fell into the snow, and Alan noticed it. He put away Red King and a few dodges appeared next to the metal cube. Seeing that Siddy didn't even have a single strand of hair left, Belmord and the others also came to Ellen's side. Alan picked up the cube and said, "He's been holding it. It doesn't look simple."

"It looks like some kind of safe, but we don't know the password," Belmord said after examining it for a moment. "There might even be a self-detonating device if it's forcibly removed."

"Then take it with you first. There will always be a time to open it. However, compared to this, our priority now is to search for traces of life." Alan thought for a moment and decided to use a stupid method. He used the location of the crowd as the center of the circle, while the five of them spread out and searched the snowy plains within a kilometer of each other. In addition, they had arranged a time to gather. In order not to let the strange force field on the snowy plains affect their senses, Allen warned everyone to make a good physical mark.

When they felt unreliable, this primitive method was often the most effective.

After a while, the few of them dispersed and went into the vast darkness in front of them.

If Allen and the others were to start from where they had landed and draw a straight line to the east, after passing through the vast snowy plains, they would see a desolate land. This was a rocky area with rolling hills and continuous mountain ranges. If he continued to head east, then after passing through the mountain range, there would be deserts, forests, swamps, and other landforms. However, the further east one went, the more humid the climate would become, and the environment would gradually become richer.

After countless distances, a huge fault can be seen. This was a natural fault with a drop of more than a thousand meters. This place was the Salon Great Fault. The Salon Great Fault is definitely a landmark location in Agares, because on the other side of the fault lies the imperial city of Demonic Shadow Empire.

The grand capital city called Demoic Ring City was inhabited by Spenak, one of the two Paragons of Agares. This supreme being, known as the Demon King, had been a nightmare shared by all life on Agares before the Void Skyfire had set foot on this planet!

There were countless legends about this Demon King. And in all legends, there was one thing that was common, and that was that the Demon King had never been defeated. Even though the Black Emperor had risen to the east of the Blood Sea, he had never defeated Sbernak.

Even once.
