The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 694 - 687 Too Childish
Chapter 694: Chapter 687 Too Childish
It’s too casual, the way this Ark suddenly emerged is simply too childish.
A spindle-shaped spaceship just popped up from underground, and it came out of blistering magma at that—the manner of its entrance filled with fantasy and an unreal hue.
But the Ark’s appearance hadn’t finished yet.
This was inside a cave, first through a horizontal lava tube, then down a vertical shaft, now the Ark was emerging from the shaft, with its top end already touching the ceiling of the cave but its bottom end still within the shaft.
The length of the Ark was about sixty to seventy meters, and its diameter roughly six to seven meters, which really wasn’t large compared to the Serpent People’s spacecraft.
The Ark didn’t stop, as its top touched the roof of the cave, the stones began to melt rapidly, turning into magma that dripped down, then large chunks of lava started to fall like rain.
"Get out of here!"
The temperature in the cave began to soar suddenly, but just as Ram was shouting to leave, the temperature started to plummet just as rapidly.
Hot and cold, the stones above turned to lava and fell down, then crashed onto the Ark, immediately turning back to stone and rolling down the Ark, falling straight into the deep shaft.
It looked scary, but it seemed not dangerous at all because whether it was magma, high temperature, or low temperature, it didn’t harm the people in the cave at all.
The Ark’s entrance was dramatic, exaggerated, but it absolutely ensured the safety of humans.
"What is this!"
Gao Yuan couldn’t help but ask Xinghe, who reverently said, "Precise control, direct action on particles, allowing the object to freely transform between high temperature melting and low temperature solidification, capable of completing in a brief moment. This is the highest degree of influence over particles. Do you know what absolute zero is? If you understand the concept of absolute zero, you’ll realize how magnificent it is to freely manipulate the temperature of objects!"
Gao Yuan knew about absolute zero, as it was taught in middle school textbooks, but he genuinely didn’t know what turning stones to magma and then immediately back to solid had to do with absolute zero.
Humans couldn’t imagine; the vast majority couldn’t comprehend the phenomenon still within the realm of physical knowledge, but what the Ark could do indeed seemed like a miracle in the eyes of humans.
"So what do we do next?"
Gao Yuan asked Xinghe while Ram also looked towards Xinghe, then Ram shouted loudly, "What should I think? Damn it!"
As Ram made his panicked exclamation, the Ark completed its melting through the cave ceiling, and then, the Ark suddenly disappeared, vanished in front of Gao Yuan and the others in an instant.
It was only because it flew away so fast, Gao Yuan’s eyes caught a glimpse of the residual light left by the departing Ark, but in a blink, the Ark was gone, disappeared, flown away.
Sunlight poured in through the newly opened skylight, and the group stared blankly at the empty hole, then couldn’t help but turn to look at Ram.
Ram was at a loss, his panicky expression making him look like a child who had done something wrong and was caught by a parent.
"What were you thinking?"
Now, people only wanted to know what exactly Ram had been thinking when he had a blank look and said, "Just now, I was thinking it would be great if the Ark could just exterminate all the Serpent People, and then, it felt like there was some kind of voice, no, not a voice, it was like there was another person in my mind wondering whether to confirm the extermination of the Serpent People’s ships, I thought of confirming, and then, and then this happened."
After a brief silence, Gao Yuan suddenly said, "Let’s go outside and check!"
As he spoke, Gao Yuan took a run-up and leaped.
The ceiling of the cave was originally twenty to thirty meters high, with another twenty to thirty meters of rock on top of that, but Gao Yuan jumped directly onto the smooth, newly-melted rock face and with another leap, he reached the ground.
Gao Yuan looked up at the sky, he saw neither the Ark nor the Serpent People’s spacecraft, but when he looked down, he saw two of the Serpent People’s Triangle Spacecraft had already fallen to the ground.
There was no explosion, no smoke, but both Triangle Spacecraft were so damaged that they had deformed.
Gao Yuan could spot the anomalies of the Triangle Spacecraft at a glance, because the one farther from him was only fifty meters away, and the closer one was just ten meters away.
For the first time, Gao Yuan came into such close contact with the Serpent People’s spacecraft; he even felt he could go up and open the door to see if there were any Serpent People inside.
Without a doubt, the fall of the Serpent People’s Triangle Spacecraft was the work of the Ark, and the outcome of the dimension-reducing strike, far beyond any level of Gao Yuan’s knowledge, didn’t even result in the familiar explosions that Earthlings knew.
Explosions are a simplistic manifestation of a destructive outcome; in Earthlings’ understanding, explosions equal destruction, which is actually quite primitive.
The destruction of the Serpent People is not by explosion, but annihilation.
However, the Celestials’ means of destruction can even keep the target to be destroyed intact.
So everything happening now was beyond Gao Yuan’s comprehension, and he could not even imagine or believe what was happening.
If the Serpent People were wiped out just like that, it would be too... too trivial, even for a dimension-reducing strike.
Gao Yuan leaped up directly, and Xinghe followed suit, but the others couldn’t replicate what the two of them had done—they could only desperately run out of the cave.
There was no flash, no sound, the Ark was nowhere to be seen, but the enormous mothership, like a mountain in the sky, still floated there.
But as Gao Yuan and Xinghe gazed at the mothership, Gao Yuan noticed a change in the clouds around it.
The clouds surrounding the Serpent People’s Mothership suddenly began to drift, and then in less than two seconds, the clusters of white clouds vanished, leaving the Serpent People’s Mothership distinctly visible against the clear sky, but it was slowly descending, and the rate of descent was accelerating.
"Has the mothership been shot down?"
Gao Yuan couldn’t help but ask Xinghe, who replied with the same confusion, "From now on, don’t ask me what’s happening, and don’t ask me what to do, because I don’t know either, I am as ignorant as you are."
The mothership’s descent began to grow perilous, and Gao Yuan dared not think about the consequences if the mothership exploded, so he impulsively said, "Shouldn’t we find some place to hide?"
Xinghe stared blankly and said, "If it causes a catastrophic outcome, where can we hide? If the Serpent People’s Mothership explodes, it could destroy half of Earth, where can we hide..."
Just as the people in the cave finally all ran out, what they saw was the mothership falling like the sky was collapsing.
There was no light, no sound, the mothership fell to the ground, and over a thousand kilometers away, no one could see with the naked eye what happened after the mothership fell, but one thing was certain, the Serpent People’s Mothership did not explode, the Ark brought it down without causing any additional damage that could destroy Earth.
Precise, controllable, no collateral damage, this was the standard the Ark should have.
Yang Yi saw the last shadow of the mothership, then he looked at Ram and said, "Do you know what’s happened now? If you don’t, I suggest you’d better not think about anything!"
