Chapter 165 Onslaught
In the pitch-black depths of the sea, scattered mental energy suddenly gathered like venomous snakes that had discovered their prey, filled with intense aggression.

And indeed, that was the case.

Through his mental energy, Li Tianran saw three colossal objects located on the seabed.

A bronze palace, a giant city, and a massive ark!

The moment he saw them, this mental energy, condensed from all of humanity, erupted with intense fluctuations. Without hesitation or any exchange, under Li Tianran's direction, the mental energy instantly pounced, as if to tear those three miracle buildings to shreds.

Boom!

A resounding vibration echoed through the seabed, and undercurrents surged wildly. The three miracle buildings seemed to have detected the presence of that vast mental energy. Before fully awakening, the apostles apparently didn't want to confront this deadly threat head-on.

The three planetary-grade engines began to operate, and the miracle buildings shuddered, slowly pulling themselves out of the seabed silt and moving rapidly into the distance.

No, it would be more accurate to say… escaping!

The miracle buildings fled at high speed, but no matter how advanced the technology, it couldn't surpass the speed of mental energy. In just an instant, that vast mental energy had completely enveloped the miracle buildings, frantically invading their interiors.

Crack!

Crack!

On the exterior of the three miracle buildings, purple-blue electromagnetic light appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. The exterior of the miracle buildings began to turn charred, as if it had been scorched by flames and lightning.

The mental energy, concentrated from the will of tens of millions of humans, could indeed instantly kill any living creature, but when facing the ancient civilization's technological core, which surpassed humanity by an era, its destructive power wasn't as invincible as when it slaughtered sea beasts.

The miracle buildings were, after all, products created by the apostles using all the top resources of a race. They had spent centuries building them to be solid and flawless, so naturally, they couldn't be easily defeated.

Even the Kunlun behemoth, humanity's most advanced warship, took nearly two hours to destroy the Babel Tower on the Great Desert Battlefield, firing tens of thousands of laser cannons and Death Valley missiles!

And at this moment, this vast mental energy was definitely more powerful than the Kunlun behemoth in terms of killing living creatures.

However, when facing technological entities like the miracle buildings, its destructive power was greatly reduced.

Buzz!

A layer of azure light罩 (guang zhao, light shield) appeared on the exterior of the miracle buildings, resisting the impact of the mental energy.

When it came to the application of mental energy, the ancient civilization was earlier and more proficient than humanity. The apostles knew very well how powerful concentrated mental energy could be, so they prepared measures to resist mental energy intrusion when they built the miracle buildings.

That azure light shield looked very fragile, seemingly flimsy, swaying gently like a bubble, as if it would burst if poked lightly.

But this very light shield blocked the vast and terrifying mental energy impact.

Sensing the miracle buildings' resistance, Li Tianran increased the output of mental energy, no longer holding back, and unleashed all of his power.

A storm surged on the seabed.

The blue lightning, materialized from mental energy, flickered continuously, like an underwater thunderstorm, and the dazzling light completely illuminated the pitch-black seabed.

In this sea of lightning, the three miracle buildings swayed like small boats, seemingly about to capsize at any moment!

In fact, compared to the three apostles, Li Tianran preferred to destroy those three miracle buildings, because he had seen the miserable state of the Gale Apostle after losing the miracle building. Now that he had completed his second evolution, he knew very well that even a second-stage evolver with extremely strong vitality, as long as they lost the protection of technology, was just a stronger ant in the face of planetary-level weapons like the Kunlun behemoth and the miracle buildings.

Even the Night Apostle, with the strongest defense, couldn't withstand a few laser cannons from the Kunlun behemoth!

"As long as we can knock off the apostles' hard shells, the remaining group of second-stage evolved creatures won't be able to pose too much of a threat to the human world…" Li Tianran frowned. He didn't know if mental energy could destroy the miracle buildings, but he could only try his best to do so now.

He didn't have much time left.

Li Tianran could already sense that this vast mental connection was gradually weakening, no longer as powerful as it was at its peak. Within thirty seconds, it had weakened by about five percent.

This was because the people participating in the connection were slowly weakening, their bodies were slowly approaching their limits.

Although there were many people participating in this mental connection, most of them were ordinary people, and their physical strength couldn't compare with that of evolvers. Their mental energy was already close to drying up.

At this rate, the mental energy would be weakened to its limit within five minutes at most.

At that time, not to mention lethality, even the coverage area would be greatly reduced. Don't forget, Li Tianran was standing inside the high walls of the human defense line, launching a remote attack on the apostles.

If the mental energy was weakened to its limit, it probably wouldn't even be able to cover the entire human world, let alone leave the high walls and go deep into the sea!

"Boom boom boom!"

Mental energy collided with the shields outside the miracle buildings again and again. Its attacks were like waves, one after another, giving the opponent no chance to breathe or recuperate.

Finally, under the endless mental impact, dense spider web-like cracks appeared on the outside of the shield, and the next moment, the shield shattered directly.

…

"Star, is this also part of your plan?" Inside the bronze palace, the Ocean Apostle's 3D projection appeared in front of the Star Apostle. Its tone was grim, mixed with a hint of unease and anger: "You failed to kill too many humans, and instead put us in danger!"

The Star Apostle sat on the throne, its expression full of that strange smile, and there was no panic. It simply spread its hands and said calmly: "Everyone, perhaps the human race has some advantages that we don't know about. I admit that this attempt has failed!"

"But if you start to fear because of this, then I'll be too disappointed…"

"Mental energy can't break through the protection of the miracle buildings. Even if those ant-like creatures unite, they can't shake our technology!"
