Chapter 427: Heart of Fear (I)



Beneath Luogong City, deep underground, is the Fengchuan Palace.

The internal environment here is completely different from the beginning. The original building structure made of special alloy has undergone tremendous changes.

All of this metal had transformed into a strange, wriggling mass of flesh. Every delicate line and groove seemed to wriggle and twitch like a living thing. Occasionally, metal pipes would emerge from the churning flesh, barely revealing their former form.

The entire energy hall is being activated and undergoing extremely evil and terrifying transformations.

Not only the building structures, but even the mechanical army that was originally on standby in the metal area grew irregular flesh and blood, replacing most of the metal objects, becoming terrifying monsters that were half metal and half flesh and blood.

An oppressive and panic-stricken atmosphere permeates every corner here.

Continuing deeper from the outer area is the core area where the core control tower stands. Further below the core control tower, close to the core of the earth, is a huge energy lake, which is also the place that maintains the basic operation of the defense matrix.

The mechanical cat 'Gardener' ran all the way from the monitoring area, passed through the long tunnel under the control tower, and went deep into the location of the energy lake.

The deeper you go underground, the higher the temperature becomes. When the gardener reached the edge of the energy lake, the temperature felt on his body surface was close to 6,000 degrees Celsius. If his body had not been transformed, he would probably have begun to melt.

As the renovation of the Energy Hall progresses, the temperature here has more than doubled and continues to rise with the passage of time.

As for the interior of the energy lake, even the gardeners dared not descend, fearing they would be instantly destroyed by the intense heat and toxins. Indeed, the energy lake here was no longer its normal color, but now resembled a viscous, dark-red river of blood. As the waves surged, countless bones were swept up, floating and sinking.

The mechanical cat 'Gardener' stopped at the edge of the energy lake and slowly raised its head. One of its eyes was made of flesh and blood, while the other was still a metal pupil.

What the flesh and blood eyes saw was that in the depths of the energy lake, a terrifying, huge, evil creature was sleeping.

The air was filled with toxins and powerful corrosive forces, and a terrifying emotion was spreading, which made it, as an intelligent machine, feel fear.

This kind of fear is irresistible, unsuppressible, and unremovable to intelligent life, and can only be allowed to spread to every corner of the body.

The mechanical cat 'Gardener' took a look and then prostrated himself respectfully.

"Great Lord, I have something to report..."

It called out in a trembling voice.

Following the gardener's call, the evil creature sleeping in the blood river quickly opened its eyes, and the entire blood river filled with high temperature and toxicity began to roll violently, with blood waves tens of meters high rolling, and even the remaining air was burned and corroded.

Strange and inexplicable howling sounds began to emerge from deep underground, like auditory hallucinations. Multiple voices overlapped, and a halo of fear emanated from the blood river, making the trembling mechanical cat 'Gardener' seem extremely small in this terrifying scene.

This terrifying scene did not last long. A turbulent whirlpool appeared in the middle of the endless river of blood, and a petite figure slowly walked out of the dark red whirlpool.

This is a beautiful fairy who is half the height of a human, with blood-red butterfly wings on her back and skin as clear as jade. Her cheeks are covered with strange blood-red patterns, and her eyes are like two rubies, with countless blood-red roses spinning in them.

She was bathing in the hot, corrosive blood-red river. The corpses of some unknown creatures flowed beside her. She looked expressionlessly at the mechanical cat lying on the edge of the blood river.

"What's going on?"

The fairy's voice was very sweet and charming, but there was no emotion in her tone, it was so cold that it seemed to freeze everything.

"My Lord, three fairies have come to us. They claim to be nobles sent by the Holy Fairy Empire and request a meeting with you and Princess Ophelia."

Being glanced at by the master, the fear in the heart of the mechanical cat 'Gardener' grew deeper, and he could not help but speak tremblingly.

"No, let them go."

Xu Xianxian turned her palm upwards, and instantly a thumb-sized blood-red rapier appeared above her.

She threw the toy-like blood-red rapier in front of the gardener and said in a deep voice, "If these goblins dare to refuse, kill them with this sword and imprison their souls in the energy field of the control tower."

Holy Fairy Empire?

Before obtaining the Energy Hall, she might have agreed to the request for a meeting, but now things are different. Once the transformation of the Energy Hall is completed, she will be able to increase her power by hundreds of times, and use it to draw the power of the star soul, possessing power close to that of a demigod.

What does it mean to be able to display legendary peak power on Earth, close to the power of a demigod?

It represents absolute invincibility.

Even the Three Pillars of Avalon or the Crimson Book could not use their clones to fight against her and could only be expelled by her.

The Holy Fairy Empire couldn't possibly be unaware of her current situation, and their request for a meeting was simply to get a piece of the pie.

The mechanical cat 'Gardener' slowly took the blood-red rapier, nodded at first, then asked hesitantly, "My Lord, if we do this, won't we offend too many forces?"

According to the information it knew, the Holy Fairy Empire was the most powerful force in Avalon, with more than a dozen legends and the support of extremely powerful demigods.

"It's not a question of who I offend or don't offend. In the face of irreconcilable, enormous interests, anyone who dares to compete is my enemy. They are enemies, and no matter who they are, they must die." Xu Xianxian glanced at the mechanical cat expressionlessly, her blood-red wings slowly swaying behind her. "Besides, the stronger and more numerous the enemies I face, the greater the pressure I will face, and the greater my chances of breaking free."

The greater the pressure, the greater the motivation.

After building the Mage Tower, even if she was invincible on Earth, she would still be at the peak of Legendary status, unable to reach the threshold of Demigodhood. Furthermore, she could only retreat to a corner of the world, not daring to venture into other worlds, not even into the dimensional black domain, or she would face an immediate attack from the true god.

Therefore, Xu Xianxian's ambition naturally cannot be satisfied by the peak of legend.

Her ultimate goal is to transform the rules of existence of this world, completely seize and absorb the star souls, break the cycle of fate, and forge the throne of the true god that transcends time and is omniscient and omnipotent.
