Chapter 1096: Whose Weapon Is More Powerful?

~13 min read 2,406 words

The smoke emitted from the hibernation cabin gradually dissipated.

The naked old woman struggled to crawl out of the cabin.

It turned out not only her face, but her whole body was very withered.

Her skin all over was like bark, covered in wrinkles.

Originally it should have been upright, but instead it drooped down.

If you want Boss Lin to completely lose his interest in beautiful women, it's actually quite easy.

Just let him take a look!

Of course, the withered Athena would not let outsiders see her like this. m. gΟиЪ. ōΓG

After moving her body a little and after some adaptation, her mobility improved a bit.

She opened the storage cabinet next to the hibernation cabin, took out clothes, and slowly put them on.

Next, she took out a mirror.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Athena's wrinkled face showed no expression.

The only thing that could show her emotion in her eyes was full of disdain.

If she would continue to look like this in the future, she might as well be dead.

After putting down the mirror, she walked forward with slow, slightly staggering steps.

Both sides were hibernation cabins.

Basically, they had all lost their power.

No one knows how much time has passed; the companions who were in hibernation inside had already lost their lives in their sleep.

Even the circulating fluid in the cabin had turned black, and faintly one could see corpses with blackened skin soaking inside.

Seeing this, Athena couldn't help but turn back and glance at her own hibernation cabin.

Because she had awakened, the hibernation cabin's power had already gone out.

Noah's Ark was built in a hurry and had many flaws.

For example, insufficient power; the engine that provides its energy was originally a damaged and repaired one.

This isn't even the worst situation.

Originally it was supposed to voyage into outer space, replenishing energy via the sun, but instead a chaos broke out inside the ark.

During takeoff, the ark crashed from the sky and fell into the water.

At that time, ninety-nine percent of the Earth's surface was flooded.

Noah's Ark sank into the water, into very deep water.

Actually, back then it would have been fine if they had just left.

But to leave, they would have to destroy the ark's outer hull.

With their physical strength, they could easily swim from water several kilometers deep to the surface.

Even if they couldn't find land for a long time, they could survive for a long time.

But the precondition is that the whole world only has them.

Once they leave, they will face an even greater crisis.

Because, they were originally said to be a rebellious faction of the Witch Tribe, wanting to abandon their people,

a rebellious faction that wanted to leave Earth on their own.

The chaos that erupted earlier, causing the ark to crash, was instigated by outsiders.

「If we could have left back then, the world would certainly be different now.

「We could enter the Moon base and obtain its resources……」

Athena muttered to herself.

In her mind, scenes of that cruel past appeared.

According to the data she obtained after her previous awakening.

The floodwaters receded quickly, not as long as their leader had anticipated.

The Earth originally had vast land, with oceans covering more than half.

Suddenly the flood surged, submerging most of the land, but it also triggered strong geological changes.

The crust became active, and soon new land would form.

This time won't be too long, perhaps just tens of thousands of years.

No, perhaps just a few thousand years.

According to Earth's legends, mermaids have appeared.

So it's possible that during this flood, some of the people changed their bodily forms out of necessity to adapt to the environment.

When large areas of land formed again, they changed back to having two legs and returned to the land.

This group of people still retained memories of Noah's Ark, and thus turned them into legends.

Furthermore, based on them, mythological legends were created.

After all, surviving in a harsh environment requires faith.

They were like this, and Eastern civilization is the same.

Soon, Athena thought of the illusion she had recently constructed to show Lin Feng.

That was her grandest, most beautiful wish in her mind.

Unfortunately, that was merely her imagination.

Even the newly built Noah's Ark was not that magnificent and beautiful.

Any society composed of multicellular life forms has never known equality.

Even among the Witch Tribe, there is a strict hierarchy.

For example, the Xiūmián chuāng.

The Xiūmián chuāng where Athena is located is a third-class cabin.

In the ark, energy is first used by the first-class cabin; any surplus goes to the second-class cabin, and only what remains after that is supplied to the third-class cabin.

Below that there are also fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-class cabins.

The fourth-class cabin is used by ordinary tribe members.

The fifth-class cabin holds slaves, and the sixth-class cabin contains some life specimens collected when the ark departs.

It houses over a thousand kinds of animals, ten thousand kinds of plants and seeds.

No need to look at the fourth, fifth, and sixth cabins.

Even the third-class Xiūmián chuāng where Athena is located has begun to run low on energy, let alone the lower-class cabins.

Perhaps those three cabins had already lost power ten thousand years ago.

Athena walked while recalling the past and lamenting the present, her steps growing ever faster.

Finally, she reached the door of the cabin.

She activated the switch and opened the door.

Behind the door was a corridor with dim lighting.

After closing the cabin door, Athena proceeded along the corridor.

There were still corpses lying on the ground.

There were corpses of Witch Tribe members, as well as half-human, half-beast corpses.

As she walked, the airflow she generated caused the surfaces of the dry bones to exhibit a powdering phenomenon.

These are the corpses left over from the battle that occurred before the ark crashed.

After the crash, there was no time to clean them up.

Passing through the corridor, Athena went by the door of a cabin.

After walking a few meters, she turned back.

Next, she opened this cabin.

This is a second-class Xiūmián chuāng.

After the door opened, bright light illuminated the cabin completely.

If the third-class cabins still have a little power, then the second-class cabins must have sufficient energy.

Here, there are thirty-six Witch Tribe members in suspended sleep.

They are the leader's women and children.

Athena walked slowly, gazing with a complex expression at the higher-class Xiūmián chuāng.

Inside lay men and women who were all very young, beautiful, and handsome.

The beauty device created by Qi Yao was actually developed by the Witch Tribe long ago.

The sleeping leader, the women revered as Zeus, have very fiery figures.

If Lin Feng were to come here and see this scene, he would surely feel reverent.

Athena herself did not know why she had come here.

Probably she was remembering the past.

Once, she also had a chance to hibernate here!

As long as she agreed to the leader's terms and became his woman.

In myth, she is said to be Zeus's daughter, but actually she is not,

there is no blood relation at all.

Moreover, Athena has some doubts.

In the ark, the first ones who should be awakened should be the leader, or those people in the second-class cabins.

Why is it me in the third-class cabin?

Lost in thought, she continued walking inward.

Soon, two rows of small Xiūmián chuāng appeared.

Inside them slept a peculiar-looking animal.

Some were cute and adorable, others had ferocious forms…

Seeing these, Athena did not feel surprised.

Because their owner had given them a higher status.

In their owner's eyes, Athena was not as important as they were.

Whether they were Zeus's women, children, or pets, they were still alive,

merely in a state of suspended animation, like corpses.

If at this moment we do not start the wake-up program but simply cut off power to the Xiūmián chuāng, what would happen?

There are only two possibilities.

One is that they die in their sleep, just like the people in the lower cabins.

Two is that they possess Micro Robots inside their bodies, which forcibly awaken them.

Although Athena felt the impulse to kill them, she rationally discarded that idea.

Next, she exited the cabin, closed the door, and came to the first-class cabin where Zeus resides.

When the door opened, one could see that the first-class cabin was larger than the second-class cabin.

Inside were filled with various instruments.

A handsome giant nearly four meters tall was not lying down but standing inside the Xiūmián chuāng.

Moreover, he wore bright armor.

The armor also requires an energy supply.

Even while Zeus was in hibernation, he remained constantly on guard.

He held a long spear in his hand, emitting a dark blue light.

Athena merely glanced at him, then slightly bowed her body and performed a salute.

Before she was even born, this figure before her had already become famous, the bravest warrior of the tribe.

He had witnessed the rise of the Witch Tribe and ultimately led a portion of its people to drift to Earth.

Athena is rational, so she certainly would not truly revere him as ordinary people do.

Instead, she understood that the power Zeus possessed far surpassed her own.

Even the little girl estimated to defeat her would not be a match for Zeus.

Especially the weapon in his hand.

Because it was a strategic weapon developed by the Witch Tribe's scientists at their peak.

Its outward appearance resembles a spear, but it is actually composed of countless tiny machines.

In battle, it can not only release the power to destroy a planet, being unstoppable,

and is also extremely durable.

Its only drawback is that the user must provide it with immense energy.

This is not a weapon that ordinary Witch Tribe members can use.

It is said that once a Witch Tribe member stole it, hoping to keep it for himself,

but after merely swinging it once, the energy consumed sucked the thief dry into a desiccated corpse.

"Athena..."

Athena was bent over, wanting to leave the chamber, when suddenly Zeus's voice echoed from inside the chamber.

The voice was deep and full of majesty.

"Lord~"

Athena called out.

The voice asked, "Why have you come here?"

Athena hurriedly replied, describing everything she had just encountered.

After she finished, the chamber fell into silence.

Athena felt a pressure permeating the chamber that almost made her unable to breathe.

She knew this was her own psychological effect.

It is like someone walking a dark road: although there is nothing around, they still feel afraid.

But knowing that is one thing, yet they cannot control their own psychology.

Because Zeus is simply too strong!

A few minutes later, the voice sounded again: "Since you have already awakened, then change all of this."

"After you finish, I will naturally awaken."

"Yes!"

Athena responded with an affirmative.

Then she bowed respectfully and retreated from the chamber.

The chamber door slowly sealed.

Only after the door was closed did Athena's aged face show an expression of relief.

She let out a long breath.

A holographic projection suddenly appeared before her eyes.

It displayed a string of passwords.

It was the armory's password!

Athena's eyes lit up.

The most important place in the Ark, aside from the first‑class hibernation chamber, is the armory.

That is where Athena's weapons are stored.

Moreover, she can replenish her energy there and restore her body to a youthful state.

The reason she now appears so aged is not because the hibernation chamber lacks sufficient energy.

If the energy were insufficient, the person inside would die, but would not age.

The cause of her aging is that her soul previously projected outward, and she had a 'dream date' with Lin Feng.

Because only a spirit can leave this place.

Moreover, this is a conservative method.

A spirit is a special existence; aside from a few rare substances,

most matter in the universe cannot come into contact with it, let alone be destroyed.

A few minutes later, Athena entered the armory of the Ark.

Immediately, she found a box.

From the box she took out a tube resembling an enhancement agent.

After injecting it into her body, one can see Athena's body changing at a visible speed.

Her dry, yellowish hair became smooth and supple, and her skin, like soaked dried seaweed, gradually lost its wrinkles,

Luster, restored its blood color and elasticity...

In less than half an hour, a beautiful woman full of heroic spirit, with a fiery figure and extremely captivating, appeared.

Seeing her own reflection on the smooth metal wall of the cabin, Athena's face showed a charming smile.

She happily took back her weapon.

A spear, a shield.

The long spear used for attack naturally cannot compare to Zeus's long spear.

But, this is also a rare weapon among the Witch Tribe.

Moreover, the shield in her hand has excellent defensive power; believing with the current technology of Earth people,

no weapon can yet pierce it.

Since Zeus has already granted her permission, she can now leave here.

The first thing to do upon going out is to find Lin Feng, and the little girl beside him,

In front of Lin Feng, she will give that little girl a fierce beating!

Although at that time she existed in a spirit state, she also felt the pain of being beaten.

She has never been bullied by a child like this before.

She must regain her dignity.

This is not only revenge, but also a deterrent!

She wants Lin Feng to witness the power of the weapon in her hand!

Thinking this, Athena tightened her grip on the spear with her right hand.

If it were ordinary metal, this grip would likely leave fingerprints on it.

The exit hatch has already been opened.

Under the prompt of the holographic projection, Athena finally appeared outside the ark after ten or so minutes.

Breathing the outside air, Athena's mouth curled up.

Next, this world belongs to her—she sees it that way.

But she doesn't know that Lin Feng's weapon is even more formidable.

It's also a spear; his spear technique is unmatched, so a petite Athena is certainly no match.
