Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 464: 464

Chapter 465-Extraction

A huge hive in the Dark Abyss.

Tens of thousands of humans were imprisoned in the fruit.

The entire hive was like a living thing, breathing and jumping. Countless locusts crawled in and out of the hive, absorbing energy from the nodes, branches, and fruits.

At the center of the convergence of countless intersecting veins, Big Bob fell from the viscous liquid pool.

Numerous tentacles pierced into his flesh from his back, back, and arms. The king of mercenaries, who had been active in the last century, regained his youth in a way that ordinary people could not understand. His body was perfect, like an ancient Greek statue, like a demigod in the human world. His will was connected to the entire nest through the tentacles that pierced into his body. He roared, and the entire underground palace roared violently.

“Kang-de-”

Grudge, hatred, desire, fear…This roar contained too many things.

The hive rumbled, and a piercing noise shook the entire underground space. The locusts that were absorbing energy from the hive came to life. Under the will of the hive master, they floated into the air and gathered in one place, changing their forms and guarding Big Bob. Their strange shapes were like the shadows of demons.

Insect Master, Insect Group, Insect Nest.

The entire Graywind swarm roared at Kant.

Kant floated in the dark void, facing the swarm of bugs that devoured everything, the hive that bred humans, and the strange and terrifying Big Bob. His wings of light flickered, illuminating the darkness.

He took out his phone.

Kacha kacha kacha, twenty consecutive shots.

Big Bob’s roar was out of tune.

Kant had a smile on his face. He flipped through his phone and pointed the screen at Big Bob.” I’ll take a few photos of you. Pick a good one and send it to your wives and children as a memento.”

” I’ll tell them the good news and the bad news. The good news is that you’ve become younger, and the bad news is that you’ll be hacked to death by me. I’ll let them be happy first before they cry. It won’t be in vain for your Burro family to be enemies with my Kang family. Don’t you think I’m very considerate?”

“Do you think you’ll win for sure?”Big Bob said coldly. Do you think I’ll be the one to die?”

Kant spread his hands and said,” That’s right. Look, I’ve already beaten you to your doorstep. Your bug swarm is useless, and your mental power is restrained by me. Even if you have any backup plans or self-destruct, I can still teleport away before that happens. You’re f * cking using your head to beat me.”

Big Bob was silent, his eyes extremely gloomy. He was a battle-seasoned war hound and had a strong sense of danger. The situation before him was indeed hopeless. Even if this was his home ground, there was almost no hope of victory. After all, the inheritance he had received was incomplete.

Damn it… If Tacitus hadn’t fallen into the hands of this Chinese man, I would have been the one to intimidate the five permanent members and the world!

But the War Hound was still a War Hound.

Mercenaries were people who wanted to smell the last trace of life in desperate situations.

The swarm of bugs did not attack. Big Bob’s body slowly floated up under the guidance of his tentacles. He stared at Kant through the dark void. He sneered.” Since you think you’re going to win, why don’t you make a move?”

There was still a chance.

The tens of thousands of people he had plundered from Zhuban, from the king to the civilians, as well as the foreign tourists here, were enough to become his bargaining chip…A bargaining chip to obtain a way out.

His heart, which had been strengthened, was beating wildly.

Nervousness, anticipation, and complacency.

The difference between heroes and villains was that the former had something to stick to, while the latter could do anything.

You, who wanted to protect everyone in Corolla…Would they turn a blind eye to the tens of thousands of lives?

Big Bob laughed smugly in his heart.

” You’re right,” Kant said.

The holy light shone as the light blade slashed through the air.

Gunpowder exploded as the bullets flew.

The Sunfire Divine Radiance transformed into a sword of flames and slashed down with a blade wave that was dozens of meters long. Horus ‘shoulder cannon, which had transformed into a weapon, fired continuously. Kant launched a sudden attack that was as fast as a gale.

However, the hive had its own will.

This was Big Bob’s home ground.

At a speed that was hard to discern with the naked eye, countless tentacles shot out whistling sonic booms and weaved in front of Big Bob, blocking the bullets and the light blades. His body was pulled back to the core hub, and the swarm of bugs responded. Big Bob was shocked and furious.” Kant!”

“Here.”

The wings of light were extinguished. Phoenix Flames lit up in the boundless darkness. Kant used the bullet’s spatial anchor point to silently break through the tentacle’s defense. He descended from the sky and approached Big Bob.

The hive shook, and countless tentacles danced wildly as they flew toward Kant.

Kant activated the scroll with his spiritual power. Streaks of lightning surrounded his arms as he split them to the sides. The new star exploded with a loud bang. The spreading frost sealed the tentacles, and the brutal power of the lightning shattered them. Kant’s body flickered as he dashed forward through the thick veins like a gale.

The light blade extended from his right arm slashed at Big Bob’s chest.

“Kant!”

A large number of tentacles extended from the pool under Big Bob, blocking Kant’s blade of light. The Fire Stealer did not want to continue fighting. He was teleported into the sky and suspended in the air with the wind. He looked at the tentacles stirring in the pool and revealed a shocked expression.” You were lying in there earlier?” Does it feel good?”

“Come and try!” Big Bob said sternly.

Kant did not reply. His figure disappeared into the dark portal.

Big Bob held his breath and focused. It was this move again. The other party’s elusive teleportation ability gave him a headache. The Lord of the Swarm summoned its tentacles to seal off the surroundings and ordered the swarm to sense the surroundings and set up an airtight defense. Once the other party teleported again, it would give a violent blow.

Who knew that a moment later, at the same location, a spatial door opened in the sky.

The swarm of bugs sensed it, but before Big Bob could order the hive to attack, a mountain that weighed a few tons appeared out of thin air with a whistling momentum and smashed towards the central core of the hive!

Kant’s voice rang out.

The heavy gravitational potential energy roared down. This was a pure and violent kinetic impact that could not be blocked even by the most tightly woven tentacles. Although it was not a mass projection that accelerated dozens of times, it was enough!

Big Bob let out a furious roar. In the next moment, this roar was swallowed up by the berserk Falling Rock Sanction. The central core let out a loud sound, and huge rocks were thrown down. The surface of the lake set off huge waves, and the entire hive was shaken!

“Kant!”

Big Bob left the bottom of the central liquid pool at the critical moment. The hive belonged to him and was under his control. Of course, he could open the emergency pathway and reconstruct the central core area. However, the damage was not insignificant. Besides, he could read Kant’s killing intent from the terrifying attack.

“You’re crazy!”

The villain was shouting.

“Do you want to destroy this place?”

The wings of light illuminated the void, reflecting Kant’s calm gaze.

“I want to destroy you,” he said.

This was different from what he had imagined! Why didn’t he care?

Big Bob was furious and confused, but he did not dare to delay or bluff anymore. He had to let Kant know the seriousness of the situation.” None of the tens of thousands of people here died! They were all alive and well! As long as they were released, they would wake up! Do you know what to do?”

Kant nodded.” I know. It’s probably moving the mouse over the biochemical power station. After the mouse pattern changes, you can remove the people inside with a click. That should be the case. I haven’t played it for a long time.”

“Don’t talk nonsense with me! Damn it!”

Big Bob was about to go crazy. He had a faint fear that something bad was going to happen. He did not know if the other party was deliberately talking trash or if he really did not care. If it was the latter, it was really bad news.

“There are tens of thousands of lives here! If you kill me here, they will die! Tens of thousands of people! An entire city of people! The king, officials, merchants, and citizens of the capital of Biagon…

They would all die! Do you want this result? Do you want to be stained with the blood of tens of thousands of lives?!”

Kant’s expression did not change. His eyes were as calm as the surface of a lake.

“So, for the sake of the survival of these tens of thousands of people, I’m going to let you off?” he asked.

Big Bob said in a deep voice,” I’m a mercenary, and I’m also a businessman. I know the rules and reason. I lost this time. As the loser, I should pay the price and compensate. These tens of thousands of lives are not a bargaining chip I used to threaten you, but the key to starting a dialogue. I will guarantee their safety. Other than that, I will give you more…I just want to live.”

” You’re right.” He pointed at the enormous, bottomless abyss and the mysterious, vast hive with an unknown pivot point.” Don’t you find it shocking?” It has existed here for a long time. Who created it? This isn’t magic or supernatural power. This is the power of science. It’s a greatness and power that we, even humans, can’t understand… Just how many secrets are hidden inside?”

Big Bob looked at Kant, his eyes glinting with a dark light.

” You obtained Tacitus. It is the key to unlocking the deepest secrets. Since you obtained it, aren’t you interested in these things? I’m willing to share everything I’ve obtained here with you. I can even hand over the control of the nest to you. I just want to live. As long as you let me live, I can give you all of this. Now that I’ve regained my youth, I just want to hide my identity and enjoy a new life…”

” Listen,” he said sincerely,” I’m sorry for everything that has happened so far, but in the end, you didn’t lose anything substantial, did you? I will also give you a generous compensation and repayment. This is a good deal. I know where the source of your killing intent is. I shouldn’t have claimed to attack your parents just to scheme against you. Please believe that I won’t have such thoughts. After all…”

Big Bob had used all his words.

As expected of the King of Mercenaries who dominated Africa in the last century.

” After all, I’ve already seen your power,” he said.” I don’t even know where your limits are. Since you’ve let me go, I can enjoy a new life. Then why should I attack your parents? Is it just to anger the strongest esper in the world, to make him swear to kill me to avenge his parents without any hesitation? What good will it do me?”

Big Bob’s tone became gentler.

His words were sincere and sincere.

He believed that his bargaining chips were enough to move Kant.

After all, who wouldn’t want such a secret?

But what made his heart sink was Kant shaking his head.

” I’m not interested in your relics, secrets, or legacies.

The ancient elven book had already solemnly stated that the Graywind Insect Swarm was an extremely terrifying disaster. It was the beginning of some terrifying summoning, and it was an extremely dangerous thing.

With a vague guess as to who the real author of the ancient elven book was, would Kant choose to believe that fellow or the shameless, cunning, cruel, and hateful mercenary Big Bob?

“This thing should be destroyed along with you,” he said.

The cruelest thing was the despair that followed hope. Big Bob’s expectations were dashed, and his fury and anxiety rose. He said angrily,” It doesn’t matter even if these people die?”

“I think you’re mistaken about something.”

Kant looked at the people who were trapped in the cells and sleeping soundly. He said calmly,” You were the one who abducted them here. You were also the one who killed them. The one who has to bear the responsibility is you, who committed evil deeds. It’s the Fabersi government who is in cahoots with you. It’s the western world who indulged you and dragged each other down, causing the situation to worsen to this point. It’s not me.”

“And correspondingly,”

The light blade extended and pointed at Big Bob.

” If I let you go and let you escape from this place, let you recuperate, and let you hide in some unknown corner of the world to slowly grow stronger, until you make a comeback and bring an even greater disaster to the world, causing many more people to be displaced, imprisoned, lose their loved ones, and die in pain…”

The holy light shone on Kant’s face.

“Then it’s my responsibility.”

His killing intent had been decided.

Big Bob was still making his last effort.” So you decided to sacrifice these people to protect more people?”

“Bullshit.”

” What nonsense are you talking about?” Kant said calmly.” What do you mean by sacrificing these people?” “I don’t have the obligation to protect these people, and things shouldn’t be based on the premise that I have to save everyone. Big Bob, I’m following my beliefs and path with my heart and hard work. It’s not for reward or to fulfill my obligations. Therefore, I won’t care about your demands or accept your judgment. I won’t be swayed by your words.”

” So, put away your ridiculous remarks and dogshit thoughts.”

“I’ll teach you how to speak.”

“I didn’t sacrifice these people.”

“I did my best to protect some people.”

“Remember that!”

Kant’s wings of light flapped furiously, and he descended from the sky.

He had already used up all of the Dragon’s Might Crystals. A Dragon’s Might that could fight against the consciousness of an entire hive must be extremely powerful. The little female dragon was inferior to the dragon in terms of ability and Spirit. Kant had limited time. He had grabbed Lily and sucked her dry several times, but he had only managed to gather two Dragon’s Might Crystals that were of acceptable purity and strength. He had just used up all of them in one go, but he was still a little lacking.

However, he still managed to resolve Moani’s siege, severely injured the nest’s will, and defeated 90% of the locust swarms. However, if he wanted to kill Big Bob now, he would have to rely on his own abilities.

Kant already had a plan.

“No! I don’t believe it!”

Big Bob’s expression was ferocious.

He had a premonition that a terrifying crisis was about to occur. The bombardment of the giant rocks had made him tremble with fear. Although this was his home ground, he vaguely felt that the longer he delayed, the more disadvantageous the situation would be.

“Since there’s nothing to say, then don’t live anymore!”

Mercenaries were born to lick blood from the edge of a knife. It was common for them to be in desperate situations. If they could repeatedly survive in desperate situations, they would become the king of mercenaries.

“Since you don’t care, just watch!” Big Bob snapped.

The hive shook, and the sound of the locusts flapping their wings echoed. The swarm of locusts did not attack Kant. Instead, they turned to the fruits and charged at the imprisoned humans.

In the deathly silence, the sound of chewing could be heard.

These bugs were slowly gnawing at the outer wall of the fruit.

These cages were filled with strange liquid. People were soaked in it, their eyes closed, floating, and occasionally blowing bubbles, as if they were having a long dream.

They were completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world, and they did not know that the terrifying swarm of insects was gnawing at the outer wall of the cage. The cage was bitten, but it did not mean freedom.

Instead…Death.

This was because there was a bottomless abyss below.

If he fell from here, he would definitely be a lump of meat paste.

” Kant!” Big Bob bellowed furiously, as if he had gone mad. He shouted at Kant before sinking into the hive’s veins. His voice traveled in all directions, shuttling through the hive that was as large as a mountain. Since you’ve decided to kill me, let’s wait and see! Will you kill me first, or will these people die in front of you one by one?”

The hive was under Big Bob’s control. If he wanted to kill these humans, he did not have to go through so much trouble. The reason why he let the swarm gnaw on them was because it was slow. Slow was useful and could cause great psychological pressure.

Tens of thousands of people dying at once and dying continuously were two completely different concepts.

Bit by bit.

More and more.

He didn’t believe that Kant had a heart of stone.

The sound of locusts gnawing was heard.

The people in their dreams did not notice anything.

There were many ways to kill Big Bob.

They used the heavy cannons in the white fog world to bombard continuously.

Mass Projection.

He had as many methods as he wanted.

However, this meant that while killing Big Bob, he would also kill these imprisoned people.

Kant could convince himself that he was powerless, but he could not take the initiative to kill.

“Father?”

Iron Son’s voice sounded.

Kant’s eyes shone with the Eye of the Phoenix. Unfortunately, the Phoenix Vision could not see through the outer walls of the hive’s veins. According to the Phoenix King, other than thick obstacles such as soil, anything that could block the Eye of the Phoenix’s gaze represented power, antiquity, and mystery.

“I can’t locate him.”

This meant that he could no longer use his Precise Strike.

The sound of the insects gnawing on the ground continued.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before the first victim would appear.

“Just wait, Father.” Horus said,” This is not our responsibility.”

If he couldn’t use mass projection or heavy artillery now, he would wait for Big Bob to kill all these innocent people before avenging them.

Kant hovered in the air, staring at the giant hive that was still mostly hidden in the endless darkness. Big Bob’s wild laughter and angry roars, as well as the sound of the bugs gnawing at him, could be heard clearly in the dark and quiet underground world. These people had nothing to do with him, and he was not the one who had captured them and brought them here.

“.. But I can still do something.”

He took a deep breath.

“Father?”

“There’s another way,” Kant said. It’s a little risky.”

It was one thing to have no way, but it was another thing to have a way but not do it.

“How risky?” Horus asked.

Kant remained silent.

He closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment.

He still couldn’t forget the scene where Valentan faced the Space-time Dragon God.

Brother Tu, cover me.

He felt a scorching heat in his hand. Kant subconsciously touched the Star Right Ring.

Oh, and you.

Sister La.

He opened his eyes and swooped down against the wind, landing on the surface of a vein.

The tentacles around him wriggled over, trying to wrap around and attack him.

The Star Right Divine Ring was activated at full power.

Raging flames burned and dispersed the tentacles. Kant half-squatted on the ground and pressed on the surface of the vein. It was cold and bone-piercing. It was not a pleasant sensation.

His spiritual energy passed through the surface of the tentacle.

Spread.

It spread along the endless entangled veins towards the entire hive.

He was searching for Big Bob.

It also spread to every fruit, sensing the countless locusts attached to its surface.

They were gnawing and absorbing. Kant could sense that there was a mysterious energy that he could not describe, but was familiar with, being transmitted between the humans, the locusts, and the liquid. It was this energy that drove the Graywind swarm, even forming it, reproducing it, and strengthening it.

Kant had no time to think. That was not the most important thing right now.

Find Big Bob and try to save those who can be saved.

The power of the Fire Stealer was slowly circulating.

He came into contact with every locust that was gnawing on the ” fruit.”

The number of these insects was huge, and the dragon’s might had already been exhausted. If he wanted to eliminate them as quickly as possible, there was only one way left.

Then…

extraction!

Disintegrating all things, returning to the source.

The Fire Stealer’s power was activated, breaking down matter into some sort of intangible concept at a level above the natural order. This was the first time Kant had attempted to break down a swarm of bugs. He hated bugs so much that he had never considered using the Fire Stealer’s power to break down an entire swarm of bugs. But this time, he couldn’t care less.

One by one, in groups.

His spiritual power extended endlessly, spreading, capturing, and shattering.

The locusts shattered one by one.

They turned into pure and intangible elements that Kant could sense and manipulate with his spiritual power.

The elements flowed like a trickle. They did not need Kant’s control and automatically returned to his body. It was like an instinct that had happened countless times.

At the same time, Kant suddenly opened his eyes.

Shock appeared on his face.

“Wait!” He subconsciously shouted,” This is impossible!”

In the next moment, a huge amount of elemental essence, mental power, and memory fragments surged over like a flood!

[PS 1: 6,000 words…] Also, what I want to say is that every plot has its own use. I’m a storyteller, not a fast killer. The reason why I didn’t kill Big Bob in Moani was because there were other plots that needed to be told. That’s all. Good night.
