At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 640 War

"Zhang Qi? Do you know my teacher?"

The sudden illumination of the cell did not lull Gu into a false sense of security.

He could clearly sense that the man in front of him, who was suspended by chains, possessed a terrifying power within him, like a dormant volcano.

Moreover, judging from what the other person said, it seems that they know his teacher.

This armor carries the power of his teacher...

"teacher……?"

Yang Lie's cloudy eyes suddenly narrowed, as if he had been stabbed hard by this word.

He carefully examined Gu. Although Gu was completely covered by the sacred golden armor, he could feel the life force beneath the armor. It was young and pure, yet it also carried the sharpness of a newborn calf.

He was completely different from the unfathomable, deep-seated deputy commander he remembered.

Oh, I see...

In the instant his thoughts were clear, Yang Lie suddenly grinned, his cracked lips parting to let out a hoarse and maniacal laugh.

"Hahaha... Hahahaha!"

Laughter echoed in the empty cell, filled with the ecstasy of surviving a catastrophe and a touch of melancholy reminiscing about the past.

A hundred years ago, Zhang Qi, one of the strongest leaders in the human city, mysteriously disappeared without any warning.

Immediately afterwards, the world changed drastically, and the terrifying being known as the "Snake" joined forces with all the ancient races to launch a devastating all-out attack on humanity's last bastion.

That battle was a bloodbath, a cataclysmic event.

It was a battle even more brutal than the one after the Battle of the Silver Lands. Those myriad races had gone mad for some unknown reason, and they were desperately trying to kill them.

Finally, the Great Lord turned the tide in a desperate situation, unleashing a power beyond everyone's imagination, and single-handedly severely damaged the "Serpent" and the highest combat power of the allied forces of all races.

But no one could understand why, at the final moment, the Great Lord would spare the "snake" and then choose to disintegrate, turning into several parts of its essence and dissipating into different dimensions.

Since then, both sides have lost all their trump cards.

Humanity has lost its strongest, while the holy positions of all races and the serpent remain hidden behind the scenes.

The war entered its most brutal and protracted phase, lasting for a century.

These "foot men," with their immortality, became the backbone of this desperate war.

But they were fighting against the allied forces of all races across the entire prehistoric continent.

Fortunately, with the snake's retreat, the suppression of humanity by this world disappeared. Not only did other types of human superhumans emerge, but even killing other races no longer resulted in being marked.

Thus, the battle remained on a delicate balancing act, with neither side able to secure a decisive victory.

Everyone knows that the balance of the war will tip in one direction depending on which side's strongest member... will be the first to return.

Unexpectedly, deep within this dark and hopeless prison, he heard news of Deputy Commander Zhang Qi again.

Even if he is just his disciple, he is enough to ignite a spark of hope.

"Let me put you down first."

Gu interrupted Yang Lie's thoughts. He could sense the intense emotional fluctuations in the other person, but now was not the time to reminisce.

He stepped forward, his right hand, covered in golden arm armor, grasping one of the thick chains.

With a slight release of the power of the microcosm, the special alloy engraved with energy suppression runes let out a groan of unbearable strain and snapped in two.

Just as the last chain binding Yang Lie was torn, a sudden change occurred!

The surrounding air twisted without warning, and several blurry shadows seemed to seep out from the folds of space, breaking the double cloaking of optical and mental concealment.

They emanated a power originating from the same source as Yang Lie, yet far more sinister and twisted. [Magnetic field rotation]

It was human, or rather, it used to be human...

Gu's eyes turned cold in an instant, not only towards the person who launched the attack, but also towards the Heavenly Serpent Clan.

Those who can awaken the power of magnetic field rotation are all people who awaken their power in desperate situations and have a firm will.

Such a powerful being would not attack his fellow human. The only explanation is that this weapon was created by the Celestial Serpent Clan using his own kind as materials.

Golden light gathered on his fist as he prepared to deliver his comrades.

But the other person moved even faster.

"Hellish Reincarnation..."

A barely audible groan escaped Yang Lie's lips as he landed.

He didn't even turn around, he just casually waved his hand behind him.

With this simple action, the entire physical structure of the cell began a terrifying movement.

The cold metal walls and ground surged violently as if imbued with life, instantly transforming into billions of blades thinner than molecules.

In the blink of an eye, this space transformed into a rapidly spinning meat grinder made of countless swords.

In the blink of an eye, the attackers didn't even have time to scream. Their bodies, weapons, and the magnetic field they generated were instantly disintegrated and annihilated in this storm of blades, completely erased at the most basic particle level, leaving not a trace of their existence.

So strong!

As the ancient fist energy slowly dissipated, the gradually calming metallic ground was reflected in his golden pupils, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

This method of directly interfering with the structure of matter and completely destroying the enemy at the molecular level is truly formidable.

Based on this one move alone, the man named Yang Lie in front of him is already above him in terms of skill and understanding of power.

"call……"

Yang Lie exhaled a long breath, as if expelling a century of imprisonment and torment from his body.

He slowly turned around, his deep gaze falling on Gu. Then, using his power, he initiated an atomic recombination, weaving the free carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules in the air into a sturdy black military overcoat, which he draped over Gu's bare body.

"Let's go, kid."

His voice had regained some strength, carrying an undeniable resolve.

"Tell me about your master on the way... and what's the deal with the golden armor you're wearing?"

However, before Gu could answer, the entire earth, no, the very foundation of the fortress, began to tremble violently.

"Rumble--"

The ground beneath their feet suddenly arched upwards and tore apart, with deep, bottomless cracks spreading out like a spider web.

Immediately afterwards, a massive "object" that defied description, a mixture of flesh and metal, was forced out from the depths of the earth.

It was a writhing mass of human flesh and blood, with countless painful and distorted faces appearing and disappearing on its surface, and countless arms scratching wildly, emitting silent howls.

Its massive body smashed through the cell ceiling, completely blowing away the dozens of floors above and revealing a much larger and darker space inside the fortress.

Upon seeing that colossal, towering figure, and the terrifying aura emanating from it—a multitude of people's despair and suffering—Gu instantly understood the identity of the creation before him.

The Celestial Serpent Clan created this ultimate weapon using tens of thousands of humans as raw materials.

An entity known as "Number One"...
