Chapter 146 Crisis

At this moment, the blue-haired girl seemed to hear the call. Her body twitched, and she slowly raised her head, her scarlet eyes fixed on Su Mo.

Su Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast.

In an instant, the surrounding red lake churned, and countless tentacles and monsters emerged. At the same time, the entire scarlet world shook violently as if the end of the world had arrived.

Countless cracks appeared in the sky, and a storm swept in.

Su Mo staggered slightly, his expression changing drastically as he muttered to himself.

"Not good, it's out of control!"

At this moment, Su Mo's eyes turned to the blue-haired girl's chest. The fragment of the Negative God on her chest was emitting a terrifying red halo.

Seeing this, Su Mo didn't hesitate and immediately reached out, preparing to take the fragment off.

However, when Su Mo's hand touched the blue halo covering the girl's body, his entire hand felt as if it was being burned by flames. The piercing pain forced Su Mo to retract his hand abruptly.

He looked at the blue-haired girl in shock, never expecting that the blue halo protecting her would now become the biggest obstacle.

At this moment, dense red, contaminated blood marks began to appear on the blue-haired girl's delicate skin, and the entire scarlet world became even more distorted.

Su Mo felt a strong sense of crisis and, disregarding caution, swung the Thunder God's Spear in his hand, stabbing it towards the blue-haired girl's chest.

Instantly, the Thunder God's Spear struck the covering blue halo.

Light scattered in all directions.

The blue-haired girl let out a painful wail.

Hearing the girl's cry, Su Mo's heart also ached, but he could only grit his teeth and increase his strength.

Crack!

The blue halo protecting the girl finally shattered, and terrifying negative energy burst out from her body.

Regardless of the impact of the negative energy, Su Mo reached out and grabbed her chest. When his hand touched the Negative God fragment, the resonating fragment was easily removed by Su Mo.

However, before Su Mo could recover, the fragment merged into his body.

At this moment, the blue-haired girl fainted and fell.

Su Mo, regardless of whether there was anything wrong with his own body, quickly reached out to hug the blue-haired girl and called out softly.

"Xiao Shi!"

...

Several minutes later, the blue-haired girl, who was unconscious, heard Su Mo's constant calls, and her long eyelashes twitched slightly.

A more painful expression appeared on her delicate face as she struggled and resisted, trying to wake up.

Seeing her reaction, Su Mo was overjoyed and kept calling out.

"Xiao Shi, wake up! Wake up!"

Finally, the blue-haired girl slowly opened her eyes, her sapphire-like eyes gazing at Su Mo.

Su Mo was slightly stunned, then, unsure, gently called out again.

"Xiao Shi?"

"What?"

Xiao Shi struggled out of Su Mo's arms and replied in a low voice.

Hearing Xiao Shi's personal response, Su Mo's expression was first joyful, then strange, and he burst out laughing.

"Haha~"

"What are you laughing at?"

Xiao Shi glared at Su Mo with unusual annoyance, but she didn't feel fierce at all.

"I'm sorry, I just can't help it. But I can't completely blame me, after all, the contrast in your image is too great. I originally thought you should be an old man, or at least a male, right? I didn't expect you to be a woman, and so young, haha."

"What's wrong with me being young?"

Xiao Shi became even more annoyed.

"Haha, nothing is wrong. It's just that you usually speak too seriously and deeply, so I never dreamed that you would be a twelve-year-old child."

Su Mo said, unable to restrain his expression.

"A child? You're the child. I'm older than eighteen generations of your ancestors combined."

Xiao Shi replied angrily.

Hearing this, Su Mo's expression froze, and he scratched his head.

"Are you thousands of years old?"

"Hmph, what else?"

Xiao Shi replied proudly.

Su Mo was speechless.

...

Outside the sealed area, Anasen looked at the countdown, which was only a little over three minutes, and his expression became more and more anxious and uneasy.

Colete's mouth curled up slightly, and he became more and more excited in his heart, as the great event was about to be accomplished.

Just then, one of Colete's subordinates walked over in a hurry. He walked to Colete's side and whispered in his ear.

"Lord Colete, Su Mo has broken into the isolation chamber alone."

Hearing this, Colete's expression darkened. However, a flash of ruthlessness and determination flashed in his eyes.

Then, Colete suddenly said to Anasen and the others.

"No, the laboratory can't hold on anymore. That monster is about to go completely berserk. If this continues, the entire Scourge Shadow will definitely have problems, and it will even threaten the safety of the Lord. We must eject it immediately."

"Isn't there still some time?"

Anasen's expression kept changing as he asked in a deep voice.

"Things can't keep up with changes. That monster has gone completely berserk and become even more terrifying. If we don't eject, we'll all be finished."

Colete urged, looking extremely anxious.

"Colete, are you sure it's really come to this?"

Atticus and Adomo asked with constantly changing expressions.

"Nonsense, if we don't eject, we're all done for. Aren't you just unwilling to be the bad guys, afraid that the Lord will blame you when he wakes up? If that's the case, then I'll be the bad guy."

Colete replied righteously.

Atticus and Adomo stopped talking. In fact, they were also worried that the rampaging monster would spread out, and ejecting it would solve the problem once and for all.

Moreover, if Colete was the bad guy, even if the Lord woke up and blamed them, it would have nothing to do with them.

Then, Colete directly reached out, brought up the virtual control interface, and found the emergency management module, bringing up the buttons for separating the laboratory and the isolation chamber.

"Lord Anasen, please authorize it quickly, it'll be too late if we delay any longer."

Anasen took a deep breath and had no choice but to press his hand on it to authorize.

"Identification passed."

Seeing the prompt that popped up, Colete pressed down without the slightest hesitation, secretly thinking with incomparable excitement.

"Die!"

As long as the ejection was successful, it would not only cut off the old man's path to survival, destroy his optical brain, but also solve Su Mo in the process. It was simply killing three birds with one stone!

"Executing emergency ejection."

"Ejecting!"

"Warning, command execution failed, emergency braking ejection switch safety brake is broken!"

"Warning, ejection module is restricted."

……

"What's going on? Who turned on the ejection safety device?"

Colete roared furiously at this result.

"I don't know."

Atticus and the others were also very surprised.

"Go and see!"

Colete shouted angrily at his subordinates.

"No need to go, I turned it off."

Just then, a mocking voice rang out, and Kartul walked over with his subordinates.

"Kartul, are you out of your mind? That monster is out of control. Do you want to kill everyone?"

Colete stared at Kartul with murderous intent in his eyes.

Atticus and Adomo also questioned, "Kartul, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to kill us all? You've had enough of living, but we haven't."

"Hmph, such cowards! What a disgrace!"

Kartul ridiculed unceremoniously.

"Who are you talking about!"

"I'm talking about you, what's wrong with that!"

"Enough, Kartul, if you want to go crazy, go crazy somewhere else. Quickly tell your men to turn on the switch. If something happens later, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."

Colete threatened directly.

"Hmph, don't threaten me, I'm not afraid of you. Also, don't say those high-sounding words. You're not a good person either. Let me tell you, Su Mo has already rushed in, the tentacles have stopped attacking, and they will shrink back soon. The crisis has been resolved."

Kartul said directly.

"Really? That's great."

Hearing this, Anasen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Atticus and Adomo frowned, but didn't say anything more. After all, it was good that the crisis was resolved.

As for whether to eject or not, the two of them didn't care too much.

However, some people were happy, while others were naturally angry. The muscles on Colete's face were twitching, and his eyes were extremely gloomy.

He was constantly weighing the odds of making a move, and his murderous intent was almost impossible to hide.

Of course, it was no wonder that Colete couldn't suppress his murderous intent. He was so close to success, but Kartul had interfered at the critical moment.

Looking at Colete's face, which was as if he had eaten a dead fly, he felt extremely happy.

"Colete, why aren't you talking? Do you want to turn hostile?"

Kartul asked with a sneer.

"Kartul, don't be too arrogant."

Colete stared at Kartul coldly, and the eyes of his subordinates behind him also became unkind.

The subordinates behind Kartul, not to be outdone, put their hands on their weapons.

Seeing this scene, Atticus and Adomo subconsciously stepped back.

The atmosphere became extremely tense.

At this moment, inside the isolation chamber, countless tentacles began to retract, and the body of the Creator Devourer also began to compress.

Su Mo slowly opened his eyes. He found that the Negative God fragment in Xiao Shi's body had disappeared and had directly penetrated into his body.

Soon, Xiao Shi transformed back into the form of an optical brain and merged into Su Mo's body.

At this moment, Marco rushed over with people and shouted anxiously.

"Boss, are you alright."

"I'm fine."

"What about that monster?"

"It's been dealt with, let's go."

Su Mo replied in a very good mood. No matter what, Xiao Shi's matter was finally resolved.

"Okay!"

Marco and the others didn't think much about it and responded immediately.

At this moment, Xiao Shi's low voice rang out proudly in Su Mo's mind.

"Who was dealt with?"

"Haha, I was dealt with, okay?"

Su Mo didn't argue with Xiao Shi. Now, when he heard Xiao Shi's words, he couldn't help but think of her true form, which he found very amusing.

Of course, Su Mo tried his best to hold it back, because it would be a big problem if he laughed.

Before long, Su Mo and the others arrived outside the sealed area and saw the crowd confronting each other.

Marco and the others immediately sensed that something was wrong and became vigilant.

When Colete and the others saw Su Mo appear, they all turned their eyes to Su Mo and the others.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Shi reminded Su Mo, "Be careful of these people. They are not good people."

"I know."

Su Mo replied to Xiao Shi.

Just then, a rush of footsteps came, and one of Anasen's subordinates hurried over and shouted excitedly.

"Anasen, the Lord is awake!"

Hearing this news, Su Mo was also happy in his heart. The old man had finally woken up.

Colete and the others were also shocked. They didn't expect the Lord to wake up at this time. If you looked closely, everyone's expressions were different.

Atticus and Adomo were more afraid, while Kartul's expression was excited.

On the other hand, Colete's expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

The tense atmosphere of confrontation on the scene instantly disintegrated.

"Let's go, let's go see the Lord."

Kartul was the first to speak.

"Let's go!"

Su Mo didn't hesitate at all, and he was also eager to know how the old man was doing now.

Negative Universe Center · Negative God Star.

The scarlet earth vibrated violently, cracking countless chaotic gaps.

Countless scarlet liquids flowed out of the cracks.

Negative God cell-infected monsters frenziedly stirred, killing and devouring each other.

At the same time, the entire sky appeared with vortices like the end of the world, and red lightning flashed.

At the same time, raging storms rose out of thin air, and the sharp wind pressure tore apart many smaller monsters, and their contaminated flesh and blood fell like bloody rain.

More and more monsters stirred.

At this time, the ancient legendary Star Destroyer · Na Shen, which was flying in a hidden state, was directly impacted by the violent monster swarm and revealed itself.

One Negative God cell-infected variant, the Red Bat Beast, with fleshy wings, flat heads, pointed mouths, and sharp claws, was lying on its barrier and attacking frantically.

……

Inside the Na Shen command room.

Bai Li reported to Kavisar with a very serious expression.

"Lord, the situation is very bad. The dCLs negative energy monitoring value has increased tenfold and is still rising!"

"Abnormal storms detected!"

"A large number of restless monster swarms have been detected. Among them, a vi-type combined beast has been discovered 70,000 kilometers north of us."

"More than a thousand isolated rooms inside the ship have issued abnormal warnings, and the people inside have mutated."

"The ship is being impacted by a restless monster swarm, the energy shield strength is decreasing, and the stealth ability is disintegrating."

.......

Hearing Bai Li's report, Monrick and the others became very uneasy. Obviously, Negative God Star had entered a new round of surges.

And what was different from the past was that this riot seemed to be a bit too fierce.

"Pope, the situation is very bad."

After Bai Li finished her report, she did not forget to remind him.

Kavisar's eyes also rarely showed a dignified expression. Of course, he knew that entering Negative God Star would definitely collide head-on with the negative energy surge.

But he didn't expect that this negative energy surge would be so terrifying, stronger than ever before.

He pondered for a few seconds, then issued an order to Bai Li.

"Avoid those high-level combined beasts, immediately search for areas that can be sheltered, and avoid them."

"Yes!"

Bai Li responded quickly.

Hearing Kavisar's order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the ancient legendary Star Destroyer · Na Shen began to decrease its altitude, conducting ultra-low-altitude flight, searching for a place to take refuge.

...

The surface of Negative God Star.

One Soul Touched was installing special negative energy binding devices in full swing.

At this time, the surface of Negative God Star became more and more scarlet, and constantly bubbling red bubbles, each bubble was comparable to a standard-sized planet, or even larger.

Then, a terrifying negative energy pollution swept across.

When the negative energy pollution impacted those special devices, the negative energy charging scale on the surface of each special device immediately showed full load.

Some devices even broke down and exploded due to overload.

Affected by the terrifying negative energy impact, the nerve lines in the transparent bodies of one Soul Touched turned red at a visible speed.

Then, one Soul Touched stirred wildly.

The most terrifying thing was the surface of Negative God Star, where terrifying phantoms emerged. The vi-type Negative God cell-infected combined beasts and various high-level variants that had been entrenched on the surface of Negative God Star for many years were struggling to escape Negative God Star.

From time to time, one could see terrifying monsters drilling out of the surface of Negative God Star, and the atmosphere on the surface of Negative God Star was sticking to them like a dog skin plaster.

Inside the Prismatic Fortress central control platform.

Mankati accepted the information from the neural network feedback, and said with a sudden change of his old face.

"Something is wrong, Negative God Star has rioted, many projection devices have been affected, and a large number of Soul Touched have mutated. Moreover, massive amounts of Negative God cell-infected monsters are frantically leaving Negative God Star, forming a new round of monster tide."

"Damn it, why didn't it riot earlier, why didn't it riot later, but it rioted at this critical moment."

Amiklai's expression darkened. It found that since coming to this negative universe, it seemed that its whole body was running bad luck, and nothing went smoothly.

"Now is not the time to complain, let's withdraw the people first, don't confront the monster tide formed by Negative God Star head-on."

Patgari reminded immediately.

"But, what about our devices?"

Brunan asked with some worry.

"Now we can't take care of so much, let's stabilize the troops first, and we'll figure out how to deal with the aftermath after the negative energy outbreak passes."

Patgari replied calmly.

"Lord Patgari is right, let's get through the immediate crisis first. Moreover, we will withdraw the people, and those unconscious monsters will not deliberately destroy those devices. At most, they will only be partially damaged."

Mankati explained to everyone.

"Let's do this, take action immediately, and prepare for group links to resist the impact."

Amiklai also approved it, and the crisis was imminent, so it could not hesitate.

"Understood!"

Many deputy clan leaders responded one after another.

Star Ring City · Administrative Council Building office.

Icaroya sat in a chair, and Commander Lorek, Commander Isaroga, Commander Keras, and Commander Nanchi stood respectfully in front of her.

Everyone's expressions were very serious, and their bodies stood straight.

Icaroya's cold eyes swept over the four of them one by one.

After a long time, Icaroya opened her mouth and said.

"The four of you have followed me for the longest time, and you are the people I trust the most."

"It is our honor to follow Lord Icaroya."

Commander Nanchi quickly grabbed the opportunity to flatter him and said.

Icaroya didn't say anything, but continued coldly: "You should be very clear about where we are going next and how dangerous it is. As confidants who have followed me for so long, I can give you a chance to regret it. It's still too late to withdraw now."

After hearing this, Lorek and the other four became more and more serious. They knew that Icaroya was giving them a chance to choose freely.

But as the most loyal subordinates, how could they retreat? Then they replied with very firm eyes.

"We will never regret it."

Icaroya was very satisfied with the four people's answers, and she said to the four people.

"Very good!"

At this time, Commander Keras, who was a bit straightforward, asked curiously.

"Lord Icaroya, what are we going to do on Negative God Star?"

"Uh?"

Nanchi and the other three looked askance at Keras, and there was a trace of strangeness in their eyes. Since Lord Icaroya had never mentioned what to do, she must be unwilling to tell them.

Only Keras, this stubborn guy, could ask this question.

But it was also good, they actually wanted to know the inside story.

Hearing Keras's words, Icaroya replied coldly.

"You don't need to ask me what to do, and I won't tell you. It's not that I don't trust you, but the matter is of great importance, and the more people who know it, the more unsafe it is. I didn't even tell Gorie. You must know that the people of the Eternal Sleep Clan are ubiquitous. In addition, the people inside us are not necessarily reliable. You should understand this from the heavy casualties suffered by the Twelve Knights of the Royal Order. So you don't need to know what to do, and I will naturally tell you when you should know. If you are really curious, then you only need to know one thing."

"What's the matter, Lord Icaroya?"

Keras replied quickly.

Nanchi and the others were also very surprised and listened carefully.

"You only need to know that this operation is very dangerous, and the degree of danger exceeds everything you have experienced in the past. You must participate with the determination to die. Of course, I promise you that if you can still survive after it is done, I will give you everything in return, such as status and wealth, and your names will be famous forever. As for your families, I have arranged everything. Whether you succeed or not, they can be properly taken care of."

Icaroya said in a deep voice.

"Understood, thank you, Lord Icaroya!"

Hearing Icaroya's words, Nanchi and the others became more serious.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Nanchi and the others were also slightly stunned. Someone actually came to disturb them at this time.

"Come in!"

Icaroya frowned slightly and said indifferently.

Then the door was slowly opened, and Qing Gui walked in in a hurry. He saluted Icaroya and then reported in a hurry.

"Lord Icaroya, something happened. Negative God Star has rioted, the negative energy tide has struck, and many people below have problems."

Icaroya turned to look at Nanchi and others and said.

"You all go down and deal with it."

"Yes!"

Nanchi and others responded respectfully.

Then Keras and the others all retreated, and soon there was only Icaroya left in the office.
