The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle
Chapter 502 - 310: Energy Stones, I Have Too Many of Them_2

"Good, very spirited," Su Qi praised.

But he felt that the situation was worse than these guys had imagined because he had already figured out the significance of those patterns, and even if it was just a recording, the question marks could still function steadily.

And the information displayed there also let Su Qi know whom Sirius was contacting.

The connected plane was none other than...

[Dark Zone Core]

There were two important pieces of information.

One was... this world was originally in a closed state, unable to leave until the formation of the Dark Zone half a year ago, which opened a channel for communication with the outside world, but beings like Sirius were still bound here.

Because once you exceed Sequence 6 and touch the extraordinary, it is extremely difficult to pass through the ripples of the various World Fragments, and the stronger one's strength, the more they are bound to this world with a terrifying set of rules as a restriction.

It seemed to be to prevent the departure of the terrifying entities from each ancient World Fragment, like the magma giant encountered in the last world.

Of course, this also limits the extraordinary entities of the Present World from entering, which is why most who come here are Seventh Rank or lower beings of the Present World.

Second.

From the earlier scenes, Su Qi saw the Nihility and a hint of a shadow that had passed through the Ripples before.

In other words,

This place is very close to that so-called... ultimate... core... a world deep within the Dark Zone that many are eager to explore.

And just at that moment,

Su Qi's eyes started to twitch slightly, and an extremely strong piercing pain surged up like a sting to the heart.

Su Qi slowly withdrew his gaze, his expression showing no emotion, as though this horrible pain wasn't happening to his own body.

This was the power of the Evil God in his right eye acting up again.

Pain, mental breakdown, the onslaught of all sorts of filthy powers, all were means the Evil God's power was using to try to crush him.

Su Qi had grown accustomed to it.

Of course, being accustomed did not mean he would not hold a grudge.

His palm quietly touched a World Tree Withered Leaf, supporting his forehead as he quietly suppressed its power.

At the same time,

Su Qi's brows raised slightly, for he noticed that the World Tree Withered Leaf was trembling slightly.

"It moved?"

According to what the Pigeon God had told him after handing over the item, the World Tree Withered Leaf would provide directional guidance when near a World Ship Fragment.

Just like now.

The World Tree Withered Leaf trembled slightly, its patterns flickering, a small white light dot moving in a certain direction, signaling guidance, the closer you get, the more dots would appear.

But the next moment,

Various colors of light dots emerged from the Withered Leaf of the World Tree, countless and scattered in all directions.

"Hmm?"

Su Qi's gaze flickered slightly, "What's happening?"

The World Ship is vast beyond measure, composed of countless fragments, as vast as the stars, and each fragment... represents a world.

And now,

In this Dark Zone, there appear to be far more World Ship Fragments than he had imagined.

"Perhaps... it can no longer be called fragments, but a whole World Boat."

"And this Dark Zone, it's even more vast than expected, what exactly is stirring in the depths?"

What were the countless silhouettes he had seen in the Nihility?

What did it mean for the ancient World Fragments to be wildly connecting together?

"It seems that only by entering the core of the Dark Zone, the world I have been to, can I find out everything."

At that moment,

A thunderous rumble was transmitted deep into this place, the intense turbulence was still shaking precariously.

Old Wang furrowed his brows,

"The vibration just now doesn't seem to have lasted this long."

Shandian and Thunderbolt Fire seemed to also notice something was amiss, their communication devices beeping incessantly.

"Quick, something's happened!"

"The Black Sparks have unlocked the city prison."

"And they are mobilizing the whole city!"

"All the people still in the city are being led out by them."

Old Wang's eyes widened, "Led out?"

Did they understand that this city was actually a prison for everyone, and now they were opening the prison doors, letting everyone leave the prison??

They all exchanged glances, their expressions grave, there must be a conspiracy within.

And at that moment,

the terror of an explosion was shockingly bursting, and its vestiges vaguely permeated, captured by their instruments.

"This is... a mining area explosion!"

Someone's voice carried fear, "The hundreds of mining areas they hold are now being detonated one by one in destruction!"

Upon hearing this,

Li Batian didn't hesitate, he stepped forward and went outside, his movements heavy.

"Everyone enter combat readiness!"

"Immediately organize all squads capable of fighting, and depart with me right away!"

Thunderbolt and Shandian's voices were grave, "Captain, we want to go too!"

"You barely have any energy left, take care of this place first," Li Batian left without turning back.

Old Wang's face was full of wrinkles and now filled with worry.

"It's all bad, all bad!"

"Su, do you know, everything's completely gone to hell now!"

"No need to explain, I know."

Su Qi said indifferently to himself, "The mining area is the only source of energy, the most important resource they control, yet now they're detonating them one after another, regardless of the consequences, recklessly."

"That means they're preparing for a big move, big enough to disregard these mining areas, big enough to ignore the prospect of mutual destruction with you."

"In other words, your five-year plan is going down the drain."

Old Wang's face turned deathly pale, and he ran straight outside!

"Old Wang!" Thunderbolt Fire quickly called out, "Wait for me, I'll join you!"

How could these people just stand by in such a situation, facing a sudden outbreak, a final ultimatum, they must make a choice.

Shandian slowly sat down on the spot.

"You're not going?" Su Qi looked at it.

"I can't." Shandian spoke calmly, "I've just given 99% of my energy to Thunderbolt Fire, and that kid hasn't even noticed, still jumping around so high."

It really wanted to just sit there, but the energy cells in its body were emitting red light, causing its parts to creak as if rusting.

"Su Buxian."

"Hmm?"

Su Qi looked towards it:

It was now lying on the ground, now really looking like a dying puppy, its voice carrying a slight hoarseness,

"I'm about to enter hibernation mode."

"To call it hibernation."

It said with a touch of self-mockery, "It's really like a crash, and if there isn't a moment of reboot, these might very well be my last few words."

"You have so little faith in them."

"Because... only in desperate circumstances, 0.35%."

Shandian softly spoke that number, "According to my data analysis, no matter what big move the other side has, if they disregard our trump cards and confront the Black Spark head-on, the probability of survival.... does not exceed 0.35%."

"If you can analyze it, then the Captain, Thunderbolt Fire, and all the other functioning companions... can naturally analyze it too."

Su Qi said with a light smile,

"Yet, they've all disregarded that probability and gone, haven't they."

"Defying programming, with no second thoughts, that's probably what makes you Mechanical Life different."

"Being praised by you, I feel a bit happier."

Shandian lowered its head, "It's just a shame, I can no longer learn more about humans from you."

Its body trembled slightly, as the energy finally reached its end.

It fell into a hibernation crash state.

And went to the same fate as many Mechanical Life forms in this Underground City.

"For over eighty years, every day there were Mechanical Life forms crashing, recklessly fighting for a hope, they struggled to this day, yet still fell on the eve of victory... ah, no, they fell five years ago."

Su Qi clicked his tongue, "To lose so thoroughly is not unjust."

"It's just a pity."

"Who made me... paint a picture of a future for you."

Su Qi casually took out the Magical Conch in his hand.

And inside the space of the Magical Conch,

was the 'waste' produced by the Heart of Divine Weapon, that is, what they needed...

Piled up like a sea!

The energy stones that were shining brightly!
