Chapter 287 The Price of Awakening

Li Tianran didn't focus on the bronze palace any longer, because he was certain that it couldn't cause much damage to Kuangxi Island.

A miracle building without apostles, a miracle building with partially unsealed technological weapons—did they really think they could attack Kuangxi Island with just a few inferior-sequence followers from their race?

That seemed... somewhat laughable!

Li Tianran stared directly at the Babel Tower below. He was silent for a moment, then gently pressed his finger on the "Valley of Death" launch button.

After clearing all the Gale Followers who had invaded the Kunlun battleship, Li Tianran no longer had any concerns. He decided to unleash the Kunlun battleship's most powerful attack to end the war as quickly as possible.

As he pressed his finger, the terrifying energy that had previously dissipated into the air gathered again. A fist-sized ball of lightning rapidly formed beneath the Kunlun battleship, constantly expanding.

Seeing this, the Gale Apostle inside the Babel Tower looked extremely solemn.

"Black Night... are you confident?" the Gale Apostle asked softly.

Before it, an electronic display screen showed the figure of the Black Night Apostle. During the Kunlun battleship's bombardment just now, the two apostles had each retreated into their own miracle buildings.

At this time, the Black Night Apostle slowly opened its mouth, answering the Gale Apostle's question: "After all, it involves that one... no one dares to say they are one hundred percent confident. She... is the most special one among us after all."

"The Triangular Tower is also the most special of the miracle buildings."

The Gale Apostle looked at the terrifying lightning ball expanding beneath the Kunlun battleship, feeling the suffocating energy fluctuations growing stronger and stronger. A trace of unease appeared on its perfect, almost divine face.

"This is definitely sub-star-destroying level power. Do you know what that means?" the Gale Apostle said softly.

"It means that if you don't defend and face it head-on, even a miracle building will be blown into ruins..." the Black Night Apostle said slowly.

"I don't want to suffer the same fate as the Sky Apostle, do you understand?" the Gale Apostle asked very seriously.

"We don't want any more apostles to die either," the Black Night Apostle said. "Your fate is linked to our entire civilization. Don't worry, no one wants you to die."

"If the energy fluctuations are too great and we can't awaken her... I will immediately take on the brunt of the impact for the Babel Tower."

"This is a bold attempt. We must do it, otherwise, that one may never escape from Kuangxi Island for the rest of her life."

After listening to the Black Night Apostle's words, the Gale Apostle was silent for a moment and then hung up the electronic communication.

In the sky, the lightning ball's fluctuations grew stronger and stronger, almost completely formed, and could fall at any time.

...

"All personnel have entered combat positions!"

"The Boundary Tower barrier has been activated!"

"Ground-to-ground cannons and anti-aircraft guns are activated!"

"The Four Seas Dragon King engine is running normally!"

"The Burning Steel Wall has finished charging!"

On Kuangxi Island, facing the oncoming bronze palace, the island had made all the necessary preparations. All firepower had entered standby mode, and all personnel had arrived at their posts.

As soon as the bronze palace entered the attack range, they could give it a head-on blow.

"Island status is normal."

Reports from various systems quickly reached the command center. Chen Yu calmly commanded, then suddenly turned to the person next to her and asked, "By the way, has the shift been changed in the secret room?"

As the highest commander left behind on Kuangxi Island, Chen Yu was well aware of the importance of the secret room on the top floor of the Supreme Command Center.

Hanhan was lying there now, being watched day and night by a group of Cerebra-type Pioneers.

"The shift was just changed, and there's another batch as replacements, taking turns to watch, there won't be any problems," someone replied.

Chen Yu nodded. This was her first time staying behind on Kuangxi Island as the highest commander, commanding a war against the Apostle race. She was still a little uneasy.

She wasn't worried that the Pioneers under her command would make any mistakes or have any accidents during the war, because in countless wars, these people's minds and tactics had been honed to perfection.

Her only worry was that if the war dragged on for too long, the Cerebra-type Evolvers responsible for severing Hanhan's brain nerves in the secret room would become fatigued and unable to be replaced in a short period of time, ultimately leading to the complete awakening of the Earth Apostle.

"Transfer another batch of people over there, three waves of people taking turns to replace them, to eliminate any possible accidents," Chen Yu issued an order decisively. Soon, she selected another twenty people from the Cerebra-type Pioneers.

"No matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave the Governor's sister's side."

The door of the secret room opened and closed again, and the backs of twenty Cerebra-type Pioneers disappeared from Chen Yu's sight.

...

Inside the secret room.

The pale-faced Hanhan lay quietly on the platform. Many lines connected her brain and body. On the instruments on the side of the secret room, clear data showed her physical condition.

Heartbeat, pulse, and mental activity frequency.

Twenty Cerebra-type Pioneers formed a circle, staring intently at Hanhan.

Suddenly, a certain indicator on the instrument began to rise rapidly.

"Mental activity frequency is starting to rise, her brain nerves are starting to reconnect!" said one of the staff responsible for observing the instruments.

As soon as the words fell, the twenty Cerebra-type Pioneers surrounding Hanhan exerted their strength together. A terrifying brainwave turbulence, like a vast ocean, frantically rushed into Hanhan's brain, wantonly destroying it.

Sweat poured from everyone's foreheads, and their muscles trembled slightly. It was clear that even with twenty people working together, it was very difficult to suppress and destroy Hanhan's brain nerves.

Thirty seconds later, when the Pioneers were somewhat exhausted, the staff member responsible for observing the instruments spoke again: "Mental activity frequency has stabilized, you can stop!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This meant that the few brain nerves that had just been reborn in Hanhan's brain had been severed again.

A trace of pain appeared on her small face.

"So pitiful..." A female Pioneer couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene: "I don't know how long she will have to endure such pain."

No one could answer her question.

From the day the ancient civilization was revived, every fifteen minutes, the Pioneers had to work together to destroy Hanhan's brain nerves.

Constantly reborn and torn apart.

Hanhan had already endured such pain thousands of times!

And in the future, no one knew when it would stop!
