Chapter 614: It Seems Like Luck, Yet It Also Feels Like Misfortune

Bang! Bang!

In the thick fog, Wokan, with no strength left, hammered the metal elder; with each strike, both he and his opponent's positions kept sinking.

Suddenly, Wokan noticed something was off.

Originally, the hammer's peak generated feedback when colliding with an alternative protective stance or barrier, but then it suddenly made contact with a physical body.

With the protective stance gone, Wokan, in less than a second, hammered the metal elder to pieces.

What should shatter shattered, what should collapse collapsed, and the main torso was smashed by Wokan into metal sheets.

When Wokan stopped his smashing, holding the great hammer and staring ahead, and after the smoke cleared, he clearly saw that the spot where he stood had been hammered into a shallow pit about a hundred meters in diameter.

As for the mysterious metal elder, it was completely motionless, its skull rolled to Wokan's feet, its hollow eye sockets no longer glowed with the previous eerie green light.

So easy to finish?

Wokan was startled.

Then, he slightly bent his knees to gather strength, and with a forward kick jump, easily left the shallow pit's center and entered the fiercely clashing battlefield.

Bang!

Boom!

On the subsequent battlefield, whether undead warriors, royal guards, or three‑legged scorpions, they were smashed like cannon fodder by the OriginalBody.

Even though Wokan is not yet of age, he is already among the highest single‑entity combat powers on Caron Tower.

Without that metal elder who could toy with the Shark‑eating Shark Battalion Commander, and with the OriginalBody joining the fray, the balance of the battle around the giant pyramid began to tilt rapidly toward the human side.

Gradually showing a one‑sided trend.

Human morale surged.

"Die! Die!"

"Die in pieces!!!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Even the taciturn Trapper, after witnessing many brothers, subordinates and compatriots fall, began to let out an angry metallic war‑cry.

But Wokan, who was at the front, felt that the brothers who rushed into the giant pyramid's core might encounter danger, so he opened the comm and warned:

"An Na Jin, watch your surroundings."

"Don't worry." The other end of the comm immediately returned An Na Jin's characteristic confident tone.

Hearing that, Wokan could only focus his attention on the current battle.

At this moment, Caron Tower's overall situation was severe, but with the help of the intelligent AI Ye Lian Na of the Shark‑eating Shark, intermittent communication with the outside world was possible.

According to the response from White Queen, it is known that in the Zero‑Three Universe, including Caron Tower, a total of 106 worlds have sequentially lost contact.

Moreover, this number increases periodically; White Queen predicts that within twenty‑four hours, the star sector overseen by Sui Meng will be completely drawn into the war mire.

Fortunately, after Robert learned that the Space Death Spirit's revival was far earlier, he immediately mobilized the full Extreme Legion and Extreme Star Sector, as well as the Zero‑Two Universe, assuring his father and all brothers that within two Earth days, all supplies, troops, etc., could be ready.

But White Queen's information to Caron Tower was not only positive.

White Queen stated that, given Caron Tower's battle situation is not as severe as other important planets in the star sector, and with two OriginalBodies and four legion camps stationed, the Trapper legion's main force, as well as OriginalBody Sui Meng, need to first deal with the Space Death Spirits that are about to fall or are strategic points.

To this, Leon, Wokan, An Na Jin, and the four camp commanders had little objection.

After all, Caron Tower's current situation should still be within controllable limits…

right.

Meanwhile.

Inside the giant pyramid.

The interior is divided into multiple layered cores; the outermost layer is a pyramid‑shaped metal shell, from the outside you can only see the intricate green‑light patterns on the metal shell, but from the inside you can clearly observe the entire tomb.

At the center lies a trapezoidal pyramid, surrounded by Z‑shaped long ramps sloping at a standard 30°, and countless "loop"‑shaped portals at the top continuously transporting more undead armies.

It's as if copy‑pasted; the outside situation should have stabilized, but according to the current trend, it won't be long before another metallic wave rises.

As the Emperor's information indicated, the Space Death Spirit is more like an AI; if the "brain" of each tomb isn't dealt with, they cannot be eliminated.

Of course, ordinary beings cannot enter the tomb's core.

After all, the Space Death Spirit's technology can eradicate soul‑bearing beings; even a strongly‑willed creature would suffer excruciating pain.

If an ordinary person entered, their soul and body would be torn apart alive.

At this moment.

North side of the trapezoidal pyramid.

"Boom!!!"

A violent explosion reverberated inside the giant pyramid.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the instant the explosion occurred, it attracted nearly a hundred royal guards stationed on this side, as well as countless undead warriors, to launch a Gauss barrage.

The Gauss decomposed beams, like vertical green light waterfalls, instantly flooded the breach created by the explosion.

But when the smoke cleared, a shield wall made of countless diamond‑shaped energy blocks was seen, successfully blocking the undead side's barrage.

Immediately,

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Flashing red high‑energy beams and tail‑flamed explosive arrows poured out from behind the diamond shield.

In an instant, the undead army that should have sealed the breach was instead turned over by the rather rogue shield.

There, An Na Jin, clad in black power armor, wielding a dedicated power sword (a large‑scale lightsaber) and sporting flowing golden hair, used the diamond shield emitted from his left gauntlet to cover his allies' assault.

Twenty terminators utilized anti-gravity functionality, hovering and sprinting to launch dispersed rushes, and each used shoulder cannons, power claws, and power gauntlets to deal with high-threat units.

Afterward, over six thousand were equipped with the latest model power armor; on paper, their specs were second only to the Krieg of the battalion's auxiliary forces.

This group, wielding Hellfire-series laser rifles and wearing helmets reminiscent of WWI gas masks, the 'Silent' warriors, marched forward together with the OriginalBody and the terminators toward the core area.

Countless metal skeletons tried to block them, but all failed; after all, having the OriginalBody and those without it leading the charge made a difference of dimension.

Finally, the group successfully broke into the interior of the trapezoidal pyramid, and incidentally locked the pursuing undead army outside the door.

Even though half a company of Krieg was on the way, before An Na Jin could react, they actively detonated their power armor reactors, thus sacrificing themselves.

But that half-company of Krieg bought them a few seconds of gap, and also allowed An Na Jin to use purely physical means to sever the pyramid's internal passage, blocking subsequent pursuers so they wouldn't be interfered with by cannon fodder.

It seemed like good fortune, yet it also seemed like misfortune.

In the labyrinthine interior, running back and forth, they actually managed to find the undead core—but…

"Tsk tsk, you youngsters, thinking you can pull off this kind of feint tactic is truly laughable."

But the metal elder, who had already replaced his body, had been waiting here for them for quite a while.
