I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"Wow! This is..." Ling'er looked up at the blue energy body and exclaimed. As soon as she finished speaking, more discussions suddenly came from the surroundings:

"Is this the legendary ultimate power?"

"It's incredible that humans can create such a magical thing!"

"But if it falls into the hands of bad people, what kind of disaster will the world face..."

Hearing these voices, Shen Shiyan frowned and turned to his teammates and said, "Everyone, pay attention. We are not here to watch the fun. Since Ares let us in, it proves that he is ready to meet our challenge."

Meanwhile, near the doorway behind them, the staff member who had warned them not to go in was still nervously observing every move. "Oh, these people are really too impulsive. While I know it's important to stop those lunatics, doing this is really too risky," he muttered to the people around him.

At this time, a young woman stepped out from the crowd and said in a calm but determined tone, "No matter what the outcome, we must do our best to help them. Who is willing to join me and go in to support them?"

"Well... okay, I'll go with you." The man who had taken the old man away hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. Then several other kind-hearted people responded.

As more and more people decided to participate in this operation, the atmosphere on the scene gradually became tense. Meanwhile, Lin Chen, who was studying the energy body in front of him, suddenly asked, "What should we do now? Should we try to shut it down directly, or..."

Before he could finish, Ling'er interrupted him and said, "I think we should first find a way to weaken the power emanating from this crystal. Otherwise, even if we successfully seal it, it will be difficult to control it for a long time."

Just as everyone was arguing over their next plan, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted outside the door! Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the scene—a dazzling flame streaked through the night sky, soaring into the sky!

Li Wei turned to her teammates with a serious expression: "It looks like something unexpected happened outside. This must be one of the 'dangers' Ares mentioned. No matter what, we can't retreat. We must persevere to the end!"

After hearing this, Shen Shiyan nodded, "That's right, now that we have made the decision, we must move forward bravely." After saying this, he took the lead and took a step forward...

Just as everyone was about to delve deeper into the secrets of this mysterious laboratory, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded nearby, followed by several armed men in special protective suits rapidly approaching. The leader was a formidable-looking man, his face filled with hostility and vigilance, but upon seeing Lin Chen and the others, he seemed to relax his guard slightly.

"Who are you? How did you appear here?" the big man asked in a deep voice, and looked around vigilantly with his peripheral vision to prevent any potential threats from appearing.

"Hello, sir." Faced with this situation, Li Wei quickly stepped forward and explained, "Actually, we are here to stop a conspiracy. Someone is trying to use the powerful energy hidden in this facility to carry out sabotage. Please believe that we have absolutely no malicious intentions."

Hearing this, the other party hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded. "If that's the case, then our goals should be the same." He then changed the subject and added, "But please remember to be cautious. This place is full of traps and ambushes. If you're not careful, you'll pay the price."

Having gained the trust of his new allies, Lin Chen led his team deeper into the caverns. The burly man named Jackson followed behind him, protecting the makeshift group. They navigated through several intricate corridors before arriving at a spacious, brightly lit hall. However, to their surprise, several figures stood at the far end—among them, Ares, who had vanished for a long time.

Seeing Ares reappear, everyone stopped in their tracks. Ares continued to gaze at them with a smile, as if everything was under his control. "Welcome to my lab! It seems you've all passed the test successfully. Now comes the fun part—experience the true potential of this power!"

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly tense, Jackson suddenly whispered, "We must act immediately. If he fully activates the device, I'm afraid the entire city and even the areas beyond will be in danger..."

"I know, but this won't be the end of our story!" Lin Chen clenched his fists, his gaze fixed forward, his tone brimming with determination. "No matter what awaits us, we must face it bravely. Only in this way can we change the course of the future!" Ares's sneer echoed through the hall. His fingers gently touched the energy core before him, and the crystal, emitting a soft blue light, seemed to become more active under his touch. "Since you are so confident, let me test your strength." His words were filled with provocation and confidence.

As soon as he finished speaking, the energy fluctuations throughout the room grew incredibly intense. An invisible pressure permeated the air, causing everyone's breathing to quicken and their heartbeats to accelerate. At this moment, some of the staff members hiding in the corners revealed expressions of worry.

"This is really troublesome. That person is a legendary genius scientist..." One of the young interns whispered softly, his eyes full of fear.

At that moment, a resolute and clear voice rang out from the end of the group: "Don't be afraid, we're here!" It was Lin Xue, the young woman who had just decided to join the operation. She stepped forward, looking at the people around her with an encouraging look, "As long as there's hope, there's no reason to give up!"

Li Wei nodded in agreement after hearing this: "Yes, the most important thing now is to stay calm and act according to the original plan. Ling'er, you mentioned before that you wanted to try to weaken the power of this crystal first. What are your specific ideas?"

Ling'er, who was named, was taken aback for a moment, but then regained her composure and said, "Based on what I've learned and my recent research on its external structure, if we can find the device that controls the output frequency and modify it, we might be able to make it easier to control."

At this time, Shen Shiyan spoke up, "Time is running out, so we need to split up. Jackson, I, and a few friends who volunteered will be responsible for protecting this place; while Lin Chen, you guys should quickly find the thing that can adjust the frequency!"
