Chapter 1199: Early arrival

The dock.

The Soul Shrieker and Raging Flame Traveler were both standing in the darkness.

「 How is it, can you sense it? 」the Raging Flame Traveler asked.

The Soul Shrieker opened its eyes and replied: 「『 I can feel the power of [Chaos] on the other side of the ocean, most likely an unawakened Deity of [Chaos], but my senses were a bit blurry. I will need to approach closer before I can pinpoint their location 」』

The Raging Flame Traveler pondered: 「 Our oppositions arrived much earlier than we did, so once we find that Deity, they would most likely not be too far 」

The Soul Shrieker clenched its fist excitedly and declared: 『「 That would be our best chance to kill them, then take the Deity away, killing two birds with one stone 』」

「 Then, let us first cross the ocean! 」the Raging Flame Traveler said.

「『 Indeed, I’ve calculated the distance, we will only need to journey for half a way 」』

The two monsters turned to the boundless ocean in front of them.

Oom!

An aquatic fish the size of a cruise liner leapt out from the water, completely obscuring the stars and moon.

It was struggling, trying to escape.

But a bloody maw that was larger than the fish itself emerged from below, caught the fish, and pulled it back into the sea.

The impact caused an intense wave mixed with blood to surge.

The short struggle between the two aquatic creatures had caused a 3-meter-tall tidal wave that crashed towards the shore.

Shuu—— oom!

The Soul Shrieker and Raging Flame Traveler were completely soaked.

They silently stood on the beach, motionless for now.

「『 Detestable, I didn’t think the ocean would also be changed 」』

「 Hm 」

『「 Our strength had been sealed, if we tried to directly cross, there’s a chance…』」

「 Hm…」

…

Two days later.

On the other side of the ocean.

“This is their best chance to kill us, but also our best chance to kill them” Gu Qing Shan stated.

He was currently underground, carefully dealing with some broken power lines.

Ye Fei Li pushed a large collapsed rock aside and asked: “When will they arrive?”

“Hard to say for sure, we’ll have to see who finds the other party first”

“Is there a difference?”

“If they find us first, they’ll have the initiative and can ambush us anytime they wish; if we find them first, we’ll be able to meticulously design an ambush that will make sure they won’t live to see another day”

Gu Qing Shan carefully attached two wires to one another and casually replied.

Ye Fei Li pondered and muttered to himself: “As a Man Killer Fiend, I still haven’t killed a Deity yet… I truly wonder how much power I would gain from killing a Deity”

At this point, Zhang Ying Hao’s voice resounded from their communicator”

[The powerline on my side is done]

“Got it”

Gu Qing Shan opened the metal casing of the powerline, stuffed the wires back in, then closed it up.

The two of them soon returned to the main facility.

“When I pull this trigger, both the powerline and network will be restarted, humanity’s system will be able to discover this place immediately; are you sure about this?” Ye Ru Xi asked.

“Hm” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Ye Ru Xi pulled the main power switch of the research center.

One after another, lights began to turn back on.

Lines of code appeared on the large monitor one by one.

Gu Qing Shan stood in front of the computer, quickly operating it with both hands.

Following his movement, packets were sent out into humanity’s information network after being encrypted, then returned.

The sound of typing grew louder and louder, as well as more rhythmic.

After a while, Gu Qing Shan stopped.

“Alright, they can now no longer discover us. The next task is to take control of every satellite” he muttered.

“But that’s very tiring work, especially for humans at this level, then——-”

The sound of typing resounded again.

Zhang Ying Hao looked over from the side, then asked: “Artificial intelligence?”

“Right, just a few simple lines of AI algorithm, but it’ll save me a lot of work” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Zhang Ying Hao thought for a bit, then asked: “I’ve always wondered, when Impartial Goddess awakened back then, what exactly did you do?”

Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: “I simply gave her a small push on her path of advancement. In reality, she’s the one who’s really incredible”

Gu Qing Shan quickly operated the computer and soon took over the full command of the satellite cluster. He then had them scan over the vicinity of this city once.

“Once every ten minutes, scan for any anomalies that show up on the map, effective immediately” Gu Qing Shan ordered.

Ding!

A noise came from the large computer, signaling the acceptance of this order.

“That’s the first security issue dealt with, now, we’re going to take a look and see if the human alliance is hiding something considerable apart from nuclear weapons”

Gu Qing Shan clicked on a symbol and continuously punched in lines of code one after another.

Surveillance footage appeared on the screen following each line.

Weapon reserves, research centers, airports, military bases, anti-air radar clusters, and even the upper-brass meeting rooms were being displayed one by one.

Gu Qing Shan pressed a button.

One footage was zoomed in.

The upper-brass of the human alliance were conducting a meeting.

[With 6 nuclear bombs, no one would be able to escape such an explosion, I believe that we should focus our efforts on…] one of them was presenting his point.

Gu Qing Shan pressed another button.

The footage continued to be extracted.

It wasn’t until a few moments later that Gu Qing Shan abruptly pressed another button.

Another footage was zoomed in again.

Inside a 30-meter deep metallic facility, a large number of people were conducting research on the prototype of a certain machine.

“This is the Mech armour of your world?” Zhang Ying Hao asked Ye Ru Xi with interest.

Ye Ru Xi observed the machine onscreen, then turned to Gu Qing Shan and replied: “My ranking wasn’t sufficient, I’ve never heard about this before”

Gu Qing Shan observed the large machine and commented: “There aren’t any issues with the mechanical structure, but it’s still too primitive, and they shouldn’t have begun with something so big right away”

He thought for a while, then resumed typing.

“It’s still not yet time for Mechs, we need to make something else first for now”

A mechanical arm appeared on his screen.

It was the one he created yesterday.

[All materials have been prepared]

[Manufacturing blueprint received]

[Begin construction]

The arm began to move.

It was extremely fast, quickly finishing a certain object from numerous electronic parts and material.

“What kind of toy are you making?” Ye Fei Li asked.

“A foundational-type warp apparatus” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Very quickly, a warp apparatus was finished.

“I’ve made quite a few, some attached to satellites, some sent on airplanes or other modes of transport to every corner of this continent” Gu Qing Shan explained.

“What’s a warp apparatus?” Ye Ru Xi asked.

“A technological teleportation device” Ye Fei Li replied.

Ding!

The computer issued a warning before displaying some footage on-screen.

The footage was of the Raging Flame Traveler and Soul Shrieker outside of a certain city.

Next to them was a large container truck, the truck driver had already been killed, his body casually thrown to the side.

From how worn-out the two monsters were, they had clearly been through a lot.

“It’s time for battle” Zhang Ying Hao took out his assault rifle and loaded its bullets.

“There’s no time to make any plans, from how they seem, I think they’ll find this place very soon” Ye Fei Li’s crimson glow manifested.

“They’re too early, I still haven’t finished dealing with the apocalyptic monsters, it would be better if they returned later on” Gu Qing Shan scowled.

He quickly began to operate the computer, sending various orders out.

Almost right away, the orbital satellite just above that city opened its hatch and prepared to send in its package.

As the mechanical package began its descent, the Soul Shrieker and Raging Flame Traveler both reacted immediately.

「 A human artifact? 」the Raging Flame Traveler looked up and observed the thing in the sky.

『「 I don’t know. Regardless, this is a greatly obsolete technological world, none of their means could ever possibly harm us 』」the Soul Shrieker looked up and replied.

While the package slowly descended, it was constantly broadcasting a message in an electronic voice: [Welcome to the ruined city, I am the technological manager of the Chaos faction, how may I serve you?]

Its constant broadcast of this message had also successfully deterred the two monsters from attacking it immediately.

The mechanical package successfully parachuted in front of the two [Chaos] monsters.

The package then slowly opened up while the electronic voice started saying something else:

[How may I help you? Whether it is murder or destruction, I can accomplish them both, please inform me]

The Raging Flame Traveler observed this mechanical item and commented: 「 This thing looks a lot like the product of those mad scientists from the Era of [Chaos] 」

「 We want to find someone; can you do that? 」

[Affirmative, search complete, location confirmed, commencing activation] the electronic voice replied.

The Soul Shrieker and Raging Flame Traveler exchanged glances.

If this was a trap, they didn’t have anything to fear, because technological artifacts cannot hurt them.

The Soul Shrieker spoke: 『「 Wait a minute, I still haven’t told you what we—— 』」

Right away, the warp apparatus was activated.

Space was distorted and collapsed, sucking the Soul Shrieker and Raging Flame Traveler inside.
