Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

The violent energy impact, like an invisible giant hammer, slammed heavily onto the spatial passage.

The warm white light that had enveloped everyone instantly shattered, like ripped brocade, turning into countless chaotic points of light that scattered in all directions.

Xu Hao felt an irresistible force squeezing in from all directions, his body felt like it was being kneaded into a ball, his internal organs were churning violently and almost gushing out of his throat.

He tried desperately to grasp something, but found that everything around him became blurry and distorted, and the hand that had been tightly holding Lin Ya's also slipped away.

The world spun around me, a strong sense of weightlessness and compression intertwined, and my consciousness swayed like a small boat in a storm.

He felt as if he had been thrown out of a rapidly spinning vortex, his body tumbling and falling uncontrollably. The surrounding light flickered, the pure white light replaced by countless distorted colored spots and pitch-black cracks, like a shattered mirror reflecting a chaotic and dangerous scene.

The air was filled with sharp tearing sounds and deep rumbling, as if the space itself was groaning in pain.

It took an unknown amount of time before that suffocating sense of chaos gradually subsided.

Xu Hao felt a sudden jolt, crashing heavily onto the hard ground, his bones groaning in pain. He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, but the blinding light made him close them again. It took him a while to adjust to the light.

He found himself lying on a grayish-white ground, uneven and cracked, like a dried-up riverbed.

A strange, indescribable smell permeated the air, a mixture of the damp, earthy odor and a metallic chill that made one feel quite uncomfortable.

Looking up, the sky had an eerie grayish-purple hue, as if shrouded in a lingering gloom.

In the distance, distorted light flickered like a mirage, blurry and indistinct, vaguely revealing some strangely shaped rocks and black outlines like withered trees.

He struggled to sit up, his head throbbing and his temples pulsating. A dull, aching pain spread throughout his body, especially in his back and legs, as if he had been struck hard by a heavy object.

He looked down to check himself and found that he was covered in dust and some unknown sticky substance, and had several abrasions on his arms and legs, but fortunately they were not serious.

He tried to use the teleportation ring's power, but felt a strong sense of rejection, as if this space was hostile to his power.

The intermittent responsiveness made Xu Hao frown, realizing that the situation was worse than he had imagined.

Looking around, it was empty and silent, with no one in sight except for the whistling wind and the faint energy fluctuations coming from afar.

Lin Ya, Shi Shaowei, the people of Liyuefang, the professional squad... everyone had vanished, as if they had evaporated into thin air. He was all alone, abandoned in this familiar yet strange, broken and twisted area.

A chill of isolation and helplessness washed over him, but he quickly suppressed these negative emotions.

Now is not the time to be discouraged. The priority is to find other people and figure out exactly where we are.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and began to carefully observe his surroundings, trying to find any clues, while taking steps in one direction.

……

Inside the Combat Control Center (CIC) of the Henan aircraft carrier, the atmosphere suddenly shifted from the previous somber and oppressive atmosphere to an almost frenzied excitement.

"Confirmed! The target energy field is experiencing violent fluctuations! Peak reading... exceeds the threshold! Repeat, exceeds the threshold!"

The operator at the radar and energy detection station looked up abruptly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, pointing to the energy curve on the screen that had suddenly surged and fluctuated violently like an electrocardiogram.

"Energy property analysis...highly matches the annihilation reaction model of the Spirit Stone! Preliminary judgment: the attack was effective!"

Our weapons have caused substantial disruption to it!

Another analyst then reported that his fist clenched unconsciously.

On the screen, real-time images transmitted by high-magnification optics and energy detection equipment showed that the giant eye that had been hovering stably over Miami was now rippling with visible, chaotic energy waves, much like the surface of a lake where a boulder had been thrown in.

Although the giant eye itself did not appear to be directly damaged, this unprecedented reaction undoubtedly proved that the direction of the Enlightenment Stone missile's attack was correct!

"It works! It really works!"

"We can hurt it!"

Suppressed whispers echoed throughout CIC. A glint flashed in the commander's eyes; the previous despair vanished, replaced by a resolute determination to seize the opportunity.

Without any hesitation, he gave a deep order into the communicator: "Order! All standby crews, prepare for the second wave of attacks! Increase the number of launches, cross-saturation attack! Repeat, cross-saturation attack! Completely disrupt the energy field around it!"

The orders were instantly transmitted to the flight deck and various combat positions via encrypted data links.

More J-35S engines roared as ground crew completed final checks and load confirmations at top speed.

Soon, another batch of Enlightenment Stone missiles, gleaming with a silvery-gray luster, soared into the sky, tearing through the night sky with even more resolute momentum, like a swarm of moths drawn to a flame, resolutely shooting towards that terrifying existence hanging in the sky.

This time, the detonations were more frequent, and the released counter-energy was more concentrated and violent.

The space around the giant eye twisted even more violently, like boiling water, with countless tiny spatial cracks appearing and disappearing uncertainly at the center of the energy storm, emitting a silent roar.

Just as the energy storm of the second wave of attack reached its peak and was about to completely engulf the giant eye, a sudden change occurred!

The enormous pupil suddenly contracted, like a startled wild beast, and the previously pervasive indifference that seemed to see through people's hearts was instantly replaced by a chilling rage.

The strange energy that made up the eyeball churned and surged violently, its color changing from the previous eerie glow to a deep, ominous dark red, as if endless fury was burning inside.

A mental pressure far greater and more terrifying than ever before swept across the entire Earth like a tsunami without warning!

"Om-!"

This was not the sound of physics, but a cold and furious thought that resounded directly deep within everyone's mind!

Inside the Henan CIC, many people instantly turned pale, clutched their heads, and groaned in pain; some even had blood flowing from their nostrils.

The voice carried an air of contempt and fury, as if provoked by an ant:

"Good means! What a good means!"

The voice seemed to carry the texture of metal rubbing together, each word like an icicle piercing the depths of the soul.

"I never imagined... that those three wretched, long-forgotten ants could leave such a 'legacy' for you even more lowly insects!"

Oboro's thoughts clearly conveyed its astonishment and the ensuing rage.

"Very good! Excellent! You... have actually posed a real threat to me! Although... it's insignificant!"

With this thought, the energy field around the giant eye suddenly expanded outward, forcefully pushing aside and crushing the energy storm caused by the Spirit Stone missile! The dark red pupil stared intently at the tiny earth below.

"But! That's far from enough!!"

The voice suddenly rose in pitch, filled with an undeniable cruelty and declaration.

"Struggle! Cry out! Your little resistance is nothing more than a tiny, insignificant 'flavor' added to our grand feast of civilization's revival!"

You are destined to become nourishment! Your world is destined to be devoured and transformed by us! No one can change this fate! No one—can—!

The last few words, like billions of tons of seawater falling from the sky, crashed heavily into everyone's hearts, bringing suffocating despair.
