What is even more surprising is that Wen Shifei, Lu Chenentang, Ajie and Tiezhen, the moment they came into contact with this spreading pure blue energy field, it was as if they were washed by a warm spring!
The whispers of the Ark spirit, a hundredfold magnified and lingering in Wen Shifei's mind like a thorn in his flesh, instantly weakened and dissipated like ice and snow thrown into boiling water! Only a faint echo remained, as if from a distant abyss! The excruciating pain of the torn mind and the physical pain from the explosion seemed to be infused with a refreshing vitality, greatly alleviating the pain!
Lu Cheneng felt it most intensely! The dark purple arcs that had frantically danced on the Devil Blade, attempting to strike back, were washed away by this pure, dark blue energy field, like extinguished flames, rapidly dimming and shrinking, finally retreating unwillingly into the depths of the blade! The cold, chaotic, violent energy that had attempted to devour his will instantly receded! The scorching, magma-like pain in the core of the chip within his brain suddenly eased! The eerie, dark purple hue deep within his right pupil seemed forcibly erased, returning to its original deep black, now bloodshot from exhaustion. He gasped for breath, as if he had just been pulled back from a drowning abyss. His body collapsed, and he relied solely on the support of the Devil Blade to keep himself from collapsing.
Ajie and Tiezhen also felt a warm current flowing through their bodies. The pain in their internal organs caused by the shock wave of the explosion was greatly alleviated, and the mental depression and fatigue were swept away!
"Success... Brother's key..." Wen Shifei slumped before the control console, staring at the massive core before her, enveloped in pure, dark blue light, seemingly reborn. Tears mingled with the blood on her face, silently streaming down her face. The bird-shaped carving knife in her hand grew slightly hot, as if resonating with the core, transmitting the lingering warmth of her brother.
However, this brief moment of tranquility lasted less than three seconds!
"Warning! Core energy output overload! External high-intensity 'Ark' resonance interference detected!" On the console, an originally silent, dusty old display screen suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light, and lines of rapid fault codes scrolled frantically!
Buzz——!!!
Outside the control room, above the ruins of the old city, the dark purple halo of the "Ark," previously thinned by the factory core, suddenly surged and contracted like an enraged beast! A mental shockwave, a hundred times more powerful than before and imbued with a destructive will, surged like an invisible tsunami, ignoring physical barriers and instantly crossing space to fiercely bombard the factory area, precisely locking onto the core emitting pure, dark blue light!
boom--!!!
The massive metal core, having just stabilized, suddenly shook violently, as if struck head-on by an invisible hammer! The rhythmic roar within instantly transformed into a piercing, strange creaking sound, like metal twisting and breaking! The faint blue light that had just stabilized on the core's surface flickered and flickered wildly, and large areas were once again eroded and covered by violent dark purple energy! Two diametrically opposed energies violently clashed and exploded within the core!
On the console, at the interface where the bird carving knife was inserted, a faint blue light flashed rapidly, and the carving knife itself began to vibrate violently and heat up! Wen Shifei could even feel the painful pulsation like a heart spasm coming from the bird pattern on the end of the knife handle!
"Puff!" Wen Shifei spat out another mouthful of blood, as if struck hard. The connection between her mental power and her core was forcibly torn apart by this terrifying impact! The whisper of "Ark" that had just been dispelled from her mind instantly rebounded a hundredfold, like billions of cold steel needles piercing her fiercely! The excruciating pain made her vision go black, and she almost fainted!
"Ugh!" Lu Chen entropy groaned, the Demon Blade Purple Lightning, which had been suppressed just now, stirring once again, and the burning pain in the chip in his brain was rekindled! Ajie and Tiezhen even held their heads and groaned in pain, obviously suffering a huge mental shock!
"An ultra-high energy 'Ark' beacon lock has been detected! The source... is the ruins of the fortress's main control tower!" The red warning on the console display was shocking!
It was that suspended dark purple seven-pointed star! The moment the "key" activated its core, it launched its fiercest counterattack like a challenged throne! It wanted to completely wipe this weak spark that dared to challenge the authority of the "Ark", along with the entire factory, from the map!
"The core...can't hold on! It's draining my...life force!" Wen Shifei's face was as pale as gold paper. She could clearly feel the pure energy from the carving knife in her hand rapidly disappearing, replaced by a terrifying suction force, as if it was draining her soul and life force to replenish the huge consumption of the core against the impact of the "Ark"! The blue light of the bird carving knife was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Must...cut off the connection!" Lu Cheneng endured the double pain of mind and body, struggling to rush towards Wen Shifei!
But it's too late!
Boom boom boom——!!!
This time, the vibration didn't come from within the core, but from above! From the entire sky!
An unimaginably thick dark purple destructive beam of light, which seemed to connect heaven and earth, carried the cold and absolute judgment will of the "Ark", tearing through the filthy leaden clouds above the old city. Like a spear of thunder hurled by the gods, it fell towards the location of the abandoned factory with incredible precision!
The target is the core control room that is trying to light the "spark"!
The shadow of destruction instantly enveloped everyone!
Lighthouse Fortress, Area C Deep Medical Shelter.
This place was far more oppressive than the upper fortress. The heavy lead alloy doors blocked out most outside sounds, but the despair that permeated the air and the faint whispers of the "Ark" spirit, tangled like cold spiderwebs, permeated every corner. Under the pale emergency lights, rows of makeshift beds filled the space. The groans of the wounded and the unconscious mumblings of mental pollution intertwined, forming a picture of hell on earth.
