Cataclysm King

The moment Enlightenment appeared, Ji Xun felt violent spatial fluctuations.

Looking up at the thunderstorm-like sky full of cobweb cracks, he realized that an unimaginable fierce battle had just occurred in a hidden space.

That is the battle that cannon fodder can only look up to.

Immediately, a mechanical angel covered in metallic silver light flew out of the crack in the void and turned into a stream of light and flew away towards the northeast.

The speed was so fast that even Ji Xun only saw an afterimage, and at the same time he murmured in his heart: "It turns out that the mechanical angel was destroyed here."

Previously in Tailong Machinery City, he saw an ancient mechanical angel with missing arms.

The appearance was exactly the same as the one I just glanced at.

When Ji Xun saw this, his mind became more active.

Judging from the plot of the previous mission, it is not difficult to guess what happened.

This mechanical angel has been killing high-ranking rebels in the middle of the battlefield. In this situation, it seems that it came to hunt down the defectors and was ambushed.

However, for Ji Xun, fighting at this level is like a background version of the plot of a game, just watch it.

It can trap a mechanical angel in the void and severely injure it. It requires breaking off an arm to escape. 80% of those who take action are of god level.

At the same time, Ji Xun was also looking forward to it.

You cannot participate in the battle. What you can participate in is the B-level mission just mentioned: collecting angel mechanical fragments.

As long as there is contact in the extra-dimensional space, theoretically speaking, it is possible to draw cards at settlement.

This is a good opportunity.

Reality didn't give him time to think too much.

The sound of breaking wind roared in the ears, and the orcs in the forest all raised their heads and looked at the sky.

The fragments of flowing fire in the sky fell rapidly like meteors, and instantly crashed into the dense forest with a radius of dozens of miles.

Looking at the lingering black light on the fragments, Ji Xun's expression suddenly changed: "Not good!"

Others may not know what this is, but he knows very well that it is the strange energy formed by the "lightless sun".

Just one look made Ji Xun feel like the hair on his body was in danger.

He quickly judged the trajectory of the hundreds of fragments in his mind, transformed into a werewolf, and ran away from the place.

Almost the next moment.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom".

There was a dense sound like artillery blasting against the ground.

The hundreds of fragments smashed into the ground and were silent for a moment, and then the energy contained violently exploded out.

It was like hundreds of volcanoes erupting at the same time, and the ground shook violently.

Immediately, as if some giant beast was about to rise out of the ground, black light exploded everywhere on the hills within a radius of dozens of miles.

In just an instant, the giant tree a hundred meters high, the hard rock, and the orcs who had not yet figured out what was happening were...

Any matter that touches the black light will disappear instantly.

In a mountain col, Ji Xun, who had just teleported over, and dozens of dumbfounded orcs nearby, all froze on the spot, watching the black light coming out of the ground a hundred meters away, covering everything in sight. Annihilation, everyone was stunned, not daring to move.

Ji Xun's eyes suddenly twitched, and he thought to himself: "No wonder picking up garbage is a B task, and if you don't do it, you will be smashed to death."

Fortunately, this terrifying movement was point-to-point, and the shock wave did little damage, and it only lasted for a moment. After several nearby hills were destroyed, it stopped.

When Ji Xun saw this, he immediately ran to the nearest pothole and saw at a glance a metal fragment the size of a silver coin in the pit a hundred meters deep.

"[Angel Alloy]."

Ji Xun stretched out his hand to grab it and put the fragment into his bag without anyone seeing it.

Enlightenment reminds me that this fragment can be exchanged for military merit in the imperial city, or it can be taken out of space.

Ji Xun had no intention of redeeming his military exploits.

After all, this metal cannot be found anywhere in the outside world.

In the other-dimensional space of "The Hive of Horror", Ji Xun drew a card and obtained an unprocessed alloy.

After research, he determined that this was the strongest, toughest, and most magical metal he had ever seen, and no outside source had heard of it.

Ji Xun is not sure what the use of these metals is, but an empire as powerful as Talen has only managed to produce one mechanical angel.

Keeping it in your hands is always the right thing.

Ji Xun picked up all the fragments from the nearby hills, but only found three.

More fell into the hands of other orcs.

But the good news is that before long, the orc commander also ordered the collection of fragments.

It looks like the pieces will be gathered together soon.

Ji Xun also quietly informed Nan Jing and Chu Jiu who were lurking nearby, asking them to pay more attention to the whereabouts of the fragments.

Wait for the opportunity to intercept a wave and get rid of it once and for all.

The sudden change ended in the death and injury of tens of thousands of orcs.

However, the orc army was not affected much and continued to march towards Behemoth, the imperial capital in the east.

In the eyes of the outer gods, these low-level rebel soldiers are nothing more than cannon fodder.

Ji Xun used to disdain that kind of superiority, but now as his rank gradually rises, he seems to be able to understand that kind of godly feeling.

There is an essential difference between higher beings and lower beings.

A life that cannot understand the truth of the world is like a piece of grass.

Ji Xun followed the large army and also inquired about the whereabouts of the "defectors".

After all, this involves an important A-level plot mission.

"According to the historical trend, Behemoth destroyed the city and the surrounding areas were smashed into pieces. Shouldn't the defectors in history have not been found? That's why the artifact that stabilizes space failed to work."

As Ji Xun walked, he deduced the situation through the known intelligence, "That's right, the Mechanical Angel was almost ambushed because of this. Talen will definitely not easily send people to ambush defectors again."

"Having said that, since the [Space Stone] can activate the artifact, it is probably a treasure. If you want to get it, you have to do it as soon as possible. The defector has not yet contacted the high-level rebels. But if you want to complete the task, let alone the difficulty. How about we at least find the 'defector' first?"

"But since the will of space is judged to be an A-level plot, there should be an opportunity to take advantage of it. Since it is the 'bait' used to ambush the angels, it is possible to find it by following this line."

"."

Ji Xun also frowned for a moment.

He thought he was lucky.

It just so happens that the "defectors" are in this direction of the fleeing orc army.

But there are hundreds of orcs in the army, and the defectors have no words on their heads, so it is not easy to find them.

Ji Xun felt that if he concentrated on completing this A-level task, it would be possible to spend more time.

But now he has more important things to do.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun originally thought that he could only try his luck.

But when he suddenly sorted out his thoughts, he discovered a bright spot: "Hey, is the [Space Rough Stone] a space treasure?"

It is difficult to find someone among an army of millions, but it becomes clear immediately if you think about it differently.

Since the defectors fled with the original space stone, as long as they find the original stone, won't they also find the person?

Ji Xun thought of something and patted Ivan who was sleeping soundly in his pocket.

Little Loli rubbed her sleepy eyes and muttered: "Is it time to eat, Mr. Ji Xun?"

Already very familiar, Ji Xun smiled and pinched Ivan's face, saying, "Not yet. It's time to work."

Ivan pouted, "Oh, it's not about eating."

Ji Xuntou fed a large piece of dessert and asked directly: "Ivan, I am looking for a [raw space stone] now. Can you sense where it is?"

Ivan looked confused. Her limited knowledge of the world prevented her from understanding certain human terms: "What stone?"

Ji Xun himself didn't know.

If it weren't for the mission prompted by Enlightenment, he wouldn't have even heard of this kind of treasure.

Thinking about what it should be, he took out a space crystal core and showed it as a reference: "It is a special energy stone. Well, it is many times stronger than the space law fluctuations of this [space crystal]."

"Oh. Let me feel it."

Ivan blinked in understanding, then tilted his head as if he was meditating.

Soon she sensed something and said: "There are a lot of space cracks around here. There is also a broken space bubble, and there are bugs, big bugs."

Ji Xun can now basically understand the little loli's vocabulary.

Light Chaser Fano said before that there are a large number of irregular space cracks near the imperial city, and it seems that these are the ones; as for the space bubble, it should be the trap where the angel was ambushed before?

Big Insect. Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta?

It was pretty much what Ji Xun thought.

This is an extra-dimensional space. Ivan is not part of the space plot, so there is no need to worry about touching anything.

Ji Xun is not looking for trouble with the outer gods, but looking for treasures, and he has accurately determined the prompt range: "Just feel it, it should be near that big bubble."

The bait is placed in the trap, just like cheese is placed on the trigger of the mouse trap.

From the place where the previous battle broke out, he roughly deduced the possible locations of several baits.

Because the description was precise enough, the surprise came suddenly.

Not long after waiting, Ivan suddenly had something to gain: "I found it! Over there, there are two stones with large fluctuations in space energy!"

Ji Xun was also overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Have you really found it?"

He asked: "Where exactly?"

Ivan said: "Fifteen degrees east by north, twenty kilometers."

When it comes to distance, this little loli has extraordinary precision.

When Ji Xun heard this, his mind immediately matched the coordinates on the map.

The location happened to be within the same range as Fano said, so he didn't hesitate and walked towards the target direction without much hesitation.

The rebels were indisciplined, especially the orcs who were low in intelligence and high in wildness. There were wounded and stragglers all over the mountains and plains.

Everyone was heading towards the battlefield anyway, and no one cared about the lost werewolf who seemed to be unable to find his team.

However, not long after walking, Ji Xun climbed over a mountain and came to a pass, where his vision suddenly became clearer.

A big sun in the sky illuminated the huge basin in front of us, making it lush and green.

At the end of the field of vision, a majestic and exaggerated city came into view.

Under the sunlight, the outline of the city burst into view like a giant object.

The hundred-meter-high white stone city wall surrounds the entire city like a winding white jade belt.

It's like a horizon with no end in sight.

The magic crystal stones on the wall sparkled under the sunlight, and the layers of barriers were like flowing circles of light, covering the entire city.

Ji Xun's location was very high, and he could just see the city's intricate Gothic spiers, with their colorful glass shining brightly.

The most exaggerated thing is that there is a palace floating in the sky above this city.

A waterfall flows down from the palace in the sky, and a seven-color rainbow wraps around the water curtain like a ribbon; even from such a distance, you can see the beautiful garden in the palace.

This is the legendary Taren Imperial Capital, a city with the same name as a mythical beast - Behemoth!

Whether from an artistic or strategic perspective, this is the most shocking building Ji Xun has ever seen.

Especially the palace floating in the middle of the clouds, which is probably a scene that can only appear in many people's dreams.

"It's really exaggerated."

Ji Xun looked at the city from afar, and his heart was shocked for a long time.

In his eyes, this city is like a beautiful woman lying on her side, which is really perfect to the extreme.

It is because he knows that this city and the nearby void have collapsed into fragments in history that Ji Xun feels a pity.

However, no matter how majestic it is, the current situation of the city is not optimistic.

The rebels are besieged on all sides, and the city is in fierce battle all the time.

The sun in the sky illuminated the entire field of vision. Ji Xun could just see the battle on the west side of the city wall at the pass. It was like watching a sand table, with a panoramic view of the whole situation.

The rebels had been besieging the city for nearly a month. The outside of the city was in ruins, and the ground outside the city was full of holes caused by magic artillery.

Just when Ji Xun looked over, a new round of charge began again. The dense orcs like ants were running towards the city on the plain. Just then, another round of artillery volleys were fired on the tall white stone wall.

Magic energy shells of various colors exploded a gorgeous magic shock wave in the siege team in the distance.

Just as Ji Xun watched this moment, thousands of orcs died as cannon fodder, and countless others continued to charge forward.

And soon, the dead orc corpses were driven by the necromancy spell, charging in groups, and then completely turned into ashes, becoming dust covering history.

The battlefield was as tragic as a meat grinder.

Although this is a plot reproduced in another dimension, this cruel war really happened back then.

Ji Xun watched with his eyes gradually lost in thought.

He watched as a bystander first, and then as a rebel soldier.

At a certain mysterious moment, he felt as if he was in the torrent of history.

In this war, personal strength seemed to be an insignificant fallen leaf, drifting with the flow.

Even if it was as strong as a god, it was just a thick driftwood floating in the torrent.

At first, Ji Xun was shocked by the cruelty of the war, but gradually, he felt that his soul was constantly floating up, and then overlooking the entire battlefield, he had a new feeling.

It was like this war itself was a kind of "rule" that would inevitably happen in the operation of the universe.

Unconsciously, Ji Xun fell into a mysterious state of enlightenment.

And involuntarily, his mind recalled the conversation with the light chaser Faro last night.

Some words that I had heard before were confusing, but at this moment, I had a different understanding.

Ji Xun seemed to have grasped something, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind: "So that's it. Is this the higher realm of I am the world that the Light Chaser said before? Only by standing high enough can we more accurately deduce the laws of the world's operation."

For a moment, Ji Xun saw a different scene in his eyes.

Every soldier on the battlefield is a fate line of different colors.

The card segments of the fate line are from their birth, employment as a card master, advancement, adventure, battlefield, death, and various stages of life.

Countless silk threads converged together and gradually formed a torrent.

A glimpse of the fallen leaves tells the story of autumn. At this moment, Ji Xun seemed to see the veins of the universe's operation.

Ji Xun gradually became a little absent-minded. Just as he was thinking, an orc behind him shouted: "Brother, are you scared? Don't stand there, hurry up and assemble!"

Ji Xun was yelled at, and his thoughts came back to his senses.

He responded with an awkward smile, and then walked down the pass.

The layout of the entire battlefield was already in his mind.

Ji Xun was sure that unless the resources in the imperial city were exhausted, it would be almost impossible to break through Behemoth by relying on such a human wave tactic.

In contrast, the rebel camp was even less likely to fight a protracted war.

The appetite of the card masters was very amazing, and the army needed to consume a lot of food and resources to besiege the city.

Especially the insects under the command of the mysterious insect queen Karakta, without sufficient food, they would eat their teammates in the first place.

If the city was really besieged, this kind of mob would definitely collapse first.

But in history, Behemoth eventually broke the city.

Ji Xun was also curious about what kind of strategy the rebels would use to break the city.

Judging from the current intelligence about "defectors", it is likely to be an "internal problem".

The collapse of a powerful empire has always been the collapse of the internal first.

He learned from the light chaser Faro that the "Mad King" Alduin has now been completely deformed and has killed many loyal ministers who are determined to stick to the empire to the end. Everyone in the city is in danger.

Ji Xun suddenly had some ideas in his mind: "If I want to break into the city, breaking through from the inside is the best choice."

He immediately realized that the previous "defector" might be the key to breaking the city.

Not long after, Ji Xun quietly came to a valley.

Here was a 100-man elite team stationed.

From the badges they had not taken off, this was an elite team of the 11th Legion of the Imperial Guard.

When Ji Xun came, the soldiers who were still wearing the armor of the Talen Knights were plotting something.

"Lord Roton, what should we do next?"

"Now that the [Space Stone] is in hand, it is enough to build a large teleportation array that can pass through top-level strongmen. The war is about to end."

"But."

"No buts. Someone will always bear the crime of "defector". No matter how our actions are recorded in the future, we just need to have a clear conscience. Moreover, even if we don't admit it, the collapse of the empire is irreversible. His Majesty has been completely distorted. Even if we don't do this, more people will die sooner or later. The only person we trust now is Lord Nan."
