The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 693 - 686: The Ark Appears in the World
Chapter 693: Chapter 686: The Ark Appears in the World
Distance in space was irrelevant, as the entire Earth was within the striking range of the Serpent People, Gao Yuan was very aware of this fact, yet he still preferred to be as far from the Serpents as possible.
The biggest advantage of the Model 59 was that its power was almost infinite; as long as the humans could endure, it could keep running until its transmission system broke down.
On the way back, Yang Yi first met up with Gao Yuan and his group because now running separately was no safer than staying together with Xinghe. Before, it was conjectured that the Serpent People were reluctant to act against Xinghe, but now, it was confirmed that they were unwilling to make a move against Xinghe, which meant sticking with her was the safest option.
Next, they needed to rendezvous with Satan’s and the Angels’ forces, and pick up Ram and Nate who were still inside the Ark of the Covenant.
Life was unpredictable, and it was normal for people to come together and part ways.
So, in the end, the Model 59 gathered the entire human command structure in the Malakal Region, and it was on the Model 59 that Ram and Nate were healed and left the medical bay.
Ram still clutched his Star of Fortune, unable to believe that the diamond he had carried for so long turned out to be the key to finding the Ark, the crucial element for saving humanity. freewёbnoνel.com
Everything that needed validation had already been validated; everything requiring explanation had been explained. Now, the most urgent task was to return to the cave where the diamond was discovered to verify whether their ideas were correct.
Approaching Satan Town, Ram was not one to pass by his own home without stopping. He was eager to see his parents, to speak with his loved one, and after making sure they were safe, to continue to the cave in search of the Ark.
If it weren’t for the Serpent People’s spacecraft following right overhead, ready to destroy the Model 59 at any moment—not just for surveillance—Ram would have likely gone home first.
The Ark represented humanity’s last hope. Xinghe’s negotiations with the Serpent People could only be a delaying tactic, incapable of fundamentally resolving the crisis.
Therefore, whether or not they could find the Ark was the key of all keys, and whether the Ark was in the cave was still an unknown. So, if the Ark could not be found in the cave, someone would have to continue the search.
Fortunately, there was still time. It was unlikely that the Serpent People would attack soon, and as long as Xinghe was willing to share the technology for Immortality with them, they could probably buy some more time.
Thus, Satan Town was temporarily safe, but finding the Ark was the priority.
The Model 59 did not enter Satan Town but went directly to the cave. Inside the cave, people were already waiting with supplies prepared for them.
Due to its enormous size, the Model 59 could not enter the narrow cave, so it had to remain outside, with two Mechas guarding it, while the others rushed into the cave as fast as they could.
The cave was just as before, with the deity still standing next to the vertical shaft, and the lights shining just as they always had.
This should have been a moment to witness a miracle, a moment that would decide the fate of humanity. As the highest decision-maker of the Solar System, Ram had every reason and excuse to have those he cared about gathered here.
Xinghe with her Mecha was Xinghe complete, only with her Mecha could she fully unleash her abilities. She had found nothing the last time she came to this cave, but now, clad in her Mecha, things might be different.
Xinghe looked down, then around, and then shook her head again, whispering, "Still no discovery, no discovery at all."
This was the result of searching without triggering the special effect of the Red Diamond, so it was not yet time to despair.
Xinghe looked at Ram, then she nodded, "Let’s start."
A little human blood was needed, along with the cooperation of the Ark of the Covenant or a Revelation, all of which were very simple to carry out.
Ram pulled down the red diamond he wore on his neck, nodded at Yelena, and then extended his left hand, while Yang Yi obligingly made a cut on his finger.
When the fresh blood stained the diamond, a red light appeared, and the red glow began to illuminate the interior of the cave.
Gao Yuan felt that when those beams of light hit the cave walls, they vaguely formed characters, but he couldn’t understand them, and it seemed that Xinghe couldn’t either.
This time, without the Ark of the Covenant re-injecting the blood back into the Ram’s body after collecting it, the red glow lasted very long and was very stable, but still, no information appeared as to where the Ark could be found.
"What does it say?"
Gao Yuan couldn’t help but ask, and after a moment of silence, Xinghe spoke with slight dejection, "No change, it’s the same as before. It only indicates that this is the key to finding and unlocking the Ark, but as for the Ark’s location or how exactly to use it, there’s no clue."
Having said that, Xinghe turned to the Ram and said, "Please take out the remaining two diamonds."
The Ram looked at Yelena and exclaimed loudly, "Take out..."
The Ram had spoken, still holding the Star of Fortune in his hand, and as soon as he finished speaking, the ground seemed to tremble suddenly.
The tremor was very distinct; everyone felt it, so all stopped in their tracks. Nobody spoke, nobody moved, even the Ram swallowed the rest of his words.
But the tremor was brief; once everyone had stopped moving, the trembling ceased.
After a few seconds, the Ram swallowed and said, "You all felt that, right?"
"Felt it, there was a vibration."
"What just happened, what did you do?"
Since the Ram was holding the diamond, it was natural for people to ask him, but after swallowing again, he said with difficulty, "I didn’t do anything just now..."
Xinghe extended her hand toward the Ram and demanded, "What were you just thinking about!"
"Thinking about? I was just thinking if only..."
Thoughts move faster than words. Before the Ram could finish his sentence, the ground started trembling again, but the vibrations quickly stopped.
The Ram’s mouth fell open, and he said with a trembling voice, "I was just thinking if only the Ark could come out by itself..."
As the tremor stopped again, Nate urged impatiently, "Then keep thinking it!"
There was no need to think, because by then everyone could feel an intense wave of heat, emanating from the volcanic vent. Gao Yuan looked down and saw a faint red glow appearing at the very bottom of the deep vertical shaft.
The red glow grew brighter and the heat more intense, as the stone melted into magma.
"Is the volcano going to erupt? Will this place collapse? We..."
Yang Yi spoke rapidly, but he immediately stopped because the magma was churning upwards and, with the magma surging up, a pearly white spire emerged from the liquefied rock.
Sometimes, wanting to do something can be so difficult it leads to despair, but other times, doing something can be unbelievably simple.
A spaceship, tapered at both ends and resembling a shuttle, just like that, emerged from the magma and appeared before Gao Yuan and the others.
The Ark had come out just like that.
