"We have no choice but to force our way through." Annie's voice was firm, and a resolute glint shone in her eyes.

Suddenly, a hail of arrows came flying from the woods on the right!

"An ambush!" Su Ting shouted, drawing his sword to meet the attack!

The group immediately split into formation and quickly engaged in battle. A group of masked warriors in black appeared from all sides, wielding weapons and surrounding them.

"Hmph, well done!" Lena scoffed, crossing her arms in front of her chest. Light flashed beneath her feet, and a ring of golden patterns suddenly unfolded.

"【Skill - Resonance of Gravity】- Activate!" As she chanted the incantation, the ground around her suddenly trembled slightly, and the oppressive feeling in the air instantly intensified!

The enemy took one step forward, only to feel as if they had fallen into a quagmire!

Taking advantage of the moment, Leah drew her staff from her back, and a blue chain of light descended from the sky, binding one of them instantly. Then, with a swing of her staff, a burst of ice completely froze him!

Chapter 939 None of You Can Escape

"You guys are really troublesome." A cold voice came from above.

Everyone looked up—a slender figure stood on a tree branch, dressed in dark gray clothing, holding a black crossbow in her hand.

“This time is different from last time.” The woman’s lips curled into a slight smile, her eyes turning cold. “This time… none of you will escape.”

Anne clenched her fists, her palms glowing blue again. "Who are you? A new face in the Dark Night Organization?"

"You all just mind your own business," she said, already drawing her bow and aiming an arrow at Su Ting.

At the critical moment, a silver-white arrow whistled in from behind!

"Don't even think about hurting him!"

Before the words were finished, a young man in a green combat suit leaped out, holding a bow in one hand, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's!

Leah exclaimed in surprise, "Ron? What are you doing here?!"

Ron landed steadily, sneering at the enemy assassins, "I've been tracking these people for days, and I've finally found an opportunity to interfere."

The woman in black's eyes flashed, she gritted her teeth, and then leaped up and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Su Ting didn't have time to ask too many questions and immediately ordered, "Let's go quickly, we can't waste any more time here."

The group regrouped and continued their advance into the base.

When they finally reached the ventilation shaft, a pungent smell hit them.

"It's poison gas spreading." Lena covered her nose. "It seems the fighting inside has damaged a lot of equipment."

"Then hurry down." Su Ting jumped down into the gap in the passage first, and the others followed without hesitation.

The passageway was dimly lit, and the sounds of violent impacts and roars filled the air.

“They’re risking their lives!” Anne exclaimed, her face pale.

The next second, the shockwave from the explosion nearly overturned a metal plate on the ground!

"I'm here!" Annie shouted as she rushed into the dusty room.

Before her stood Aiden, covered in blood yet still standing, and in front of him, a black-robed man covered in burns yet still standing.

The standoff between the two seemed to freeze the very air.

The moment he saw Annie appear, Aiden grinned: "I knew you'd come."

Anne didn't reply to him, but instead walked over and stood beside him.

The man in black robes narrowed his eyes and sneered, "A few more idiots have come to their deaths? You ants... you're not worthy to set foot in this place!"

Aiden raised his burned fist, a trickle of blood slowly sliding down his lip:

"Hey, you call us ants? Well, you'd better get ready."

Anne gently placed her hand on his shoulder, a pale blue light flowing around her. "Don't worry... this time, we'll fight this battle together."

Outside the door, footsteps approached again; more Night Elf troops were on their way.

At that very moment, Kevin struggled to his feet, leaning against the wall, his deep voice echoing throughout the room:

"Tell me... what exactly was the purpose of the core you created?"

The man in black robes gave a sinister smile and slowly spoke:

"In order to... welcome the era when the 'blood of the gods' will descend."

Annie looked up abruptly, “‘Blood of the gods’? What nonsense are you talking about!”

The man in black robes chuckled deeply, a strange sound like the grinding of a millstone rolling from his throat. "You think this is just an ordinary alchemy laboratory? This is the core of a ritual that can change the world... and this core is the key to a new era."

Kevin gripped his silver short sword tightly, gritting his teeth as he said, "So those kidnapped researchers... they were there to help you complete this ritual?"

Chapter 940 Are you crazy or stupid?

"Clever." A dark purple light flashed in the black-robed man's eyes as he slowly raised his head, as if completely liberated from the shadows. Crack-like patterns began to appear on his body, each releasing eerie energy fluctuations.

Aiden sneered, "So you've turned yourself into a vessel too? Are you crazy or just stupid?"

"No, I understand true evolution better than any of you." The man in black robes shook his arms, and a terrifying wave of power swept out, distorting the air in the entire room!

As soon as Su Ting and his group stepped through the door, they felt an overwhelming pressure and stopped in their tracks.

Lena gasped, "We can't let him absorb any more energy! Otherwise, this whole place will collapse!"

Annie was already standing in the heart of the battle, her hands rapidly forming hand seals, pale blue magic runes flashing in the air: "We must join forces to suppress those unstable core reactions within him! Otherwise, he will self-destruct in the next second!"

"Understood!" Ron was the first to draw his bow and nock an arrow. With a flash of silver light, three enhanced rune arrows shot out instantly, piercing through the air and heading straight for the black-robed man's chest.

At the same time, Su Ting drew his sword and charged forward, shouting, "Let me draw his attention!"

"Don't be impulsive!" Leah quickly cast a protective spell. "I'll give you a shield—hang in there!"

Su Ting leaped and slashed down, the blade flashing and striking the opponent's core interface area on the chest!

"Ah—!" the black-robed man roared, unleashing a palm strike of black flames straight at Su Ting's chest.

At the critical moment, Annie rushed in front of him, opened her palm, and a circle of blue light suddenly spread out: "[Barrier - Mind Resonance]!"

boom! !

The massive impact shattered several pipes in the ceiling, and thick steam billowed out, instantly blurring the entire room.

At this moment, the black-robed man's voice carried a hint of madness: "Since none of you are willing to die obediently, then come with me—become part of the sacrifice!!"

Suddenly, a strange vibration frequency came through the air, and then all the devices on the wall lit up!

"No!" Aiden shouted, "He's triggering the core program!! We must interrupt the startup process!"

Kevin's expression changed slightly. "How much startup time is left?"

Aiden dodged the oncoming iron plate while yelling, "If you don't stop him within thirty seconds, this place will fully activate the 'Divine Blood Resonance System'!"

Su Ting, clutching his left shoulder, forced himself to stand up despite the pain: "Quick! We need to split up, one person monitoring one group of control devices, and immediately seal off all access points!"

"Understood!" Leah immediately rushed towards the terminal in the northwest corner.

Lena then leaped into the air: "I can disrupt his mental link and delay his control for a few seconds."

"I'm going to disrupt the final energy injection point!" Aiden roared as he charged toward the central furnace area.

Anne turned to Kevin and shouted, "What are you going to do?"

Kevin calmly replied, "I have a question for him—is that test subject still alive?"

"Is this the time to ask that?!"

But at that moment, the man in black laughed.

“Heh… Ask away, I’m ready.” He slowly raised his hand and pointed to the ancient metal device behind him. “She’s over there, in the ‘Divine Embryo Chamber’… But whether you can awaken her depends on whether you have the ability.”

Kevin's eyes suddenly sharpened. "Are you serious?!"

Chapter 941 The So-Called Truth

"If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself." The black-robed man's body trembled violently, and a layer of dark shell that kept cracking and reforming appeared around him. "But if you waste your time... you will all rot here with your so-called truth."

Without a second thought, Annie quickly scanned the surroundings and immediately assigned tasks, "Everyone, get ready—attack simultaneously in five seconds! Ron, you cover Kevin as he pushes towards that red door. Su Ting and I will hold off the black-robed man for ten minutes. We must destroy the main control node before he restarts!"

"Roger that!"

With everyone working together seamlessly, a thrilling melee ensued.

Flames, lightning, and ice arrows clashed in the air, while dust and smoke filled the room. Every second was a life-or-death struggle, and every attack was tied to a choice of fate.

Just as the man in black robes was about to gather the final incantation, Su Ting suddenly slashed down with his sword—

"Shut up!"

The moment the blade pierced the core crevice, the entire building trembled violently!

Kevin finally reached the target entrance, pushed open the heavy metal gate, and saw a thin figure lying in a transparent container at the deepest part...

His pupils contracted slightly: "...Isa...are you still alive?"

At that very moment, Annie outside the door shouted, "Kevin! How much longer are you going to?!"
