There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 278, The Destroyer of the World (Part 1)
[Advancement Quest: Protect the World]
Mission countdown begins: two hours
Mission objective: A group of greedy, expansionist individuals have discovered this world. Defend your world, defeat them, or destroy them.

Task Reward: Successfully Upgraded

The original advancement quest has been changed to this.

But it's not a big problem; there's only one thing to do anyway.

"Kill!"

I can't wait any longer.

Beyond the 33214 world.

A world that is not big enough is slowly gliding toward the world around it.

The two worlds are already very close, and they are about to collide.

This was not an accident; almost everything in this area was connected to that decaying, super-large world.

The recent invasion by evil forces activated a bit of the world's instincts in the Rotten Land, which had already begun to rot, resembling a giant floating corpse.

However, even the slightest movement in this colossal world can have a huge impact on the surrounding world.

And so, a world that was also being pulled toward a land of decay changed its trajectory.

This is the origin of this series of events.

In terms of world volume, World 33214 is the larger one, but things are not always calculated that way.

The world that was struck has already undergone an extraordinary recovery.

In the fiery world, lava flows everywhere, and strange metal towers stand tall on the earth.

Extraordinary recovery is often accompanied by exceptionally horrific disasters.

The original inhabitants of this world have yet to recover from that catastrophe. The earth cracked open, everything was swallowed up, and lava surged from the depths of the world. The survivors hid on the high mountain peaks.

Fortunately, this disaster didn't come away empty-handed.

Psychic energy and unimaginable primordial gold from the earth's core appeared along with the gushing lava.

The surviving Newts used these two items to quickly recover and build towering metal towers in this terrifying lava world.

Moreover, the world began to move after this disaster.

An invasion is about to begin.

Numerous spaceships and complex structures engraved with strange patterns—no, to call them structures would be a stretch; these behemoths, each three to five meters tall, were more like mechs.

In the journey of the world, World 33214 is not the first world to encounter these events.

The outcomes of the previous few encounters are quite clear.

They ruthlessly plundered it.

The atmosphere on the field is now generally jubilant.

The Newts are a strange race with red skin, four fingers, no nose, no hair, and two indented lines on their heads.

Before launching this war of aggression, their most powerful psychic priests provided intelligence about the other world.

A world with a mild environment, abundant resources, a faint trace of supernatural energy, and a predominantly advanced civilization.

Such a world is simply the best prey.

A towering metal tower began its preparations for movement, anchoring itself in contact with the ground, its sharp metal feet extending from the openings in its outer shell and plunging into the earth.

The enormous tower slowly rose to its feet, swaying precariously.

This is the city inhabited by the Newts, and also a mobile super fortress and super mining machine.

As the departure point approached, the high priest among the Newts felt a sense of unease.

I repeatedly lingered at the top of the tower.

He was facing a world that was both extraordinary and rare, so why did he feel so uneasy?

It was as if something extremely important had been left behind.

The high priest's unease did not affect the joy on the field at this moment.

One by one, the Newts boarded their psionic mechs and waited anxiously.

They are waiting for the world to collide completely.

Coincidentally, Xiao Yang was also waiting at this moment, waiting for time to slowly pass.

Two hours isn't a long time, and it passed quickly.

The two worlds officially collided.

At that moment, amidst a tremendous commotion and a piercing sound that could be heard by everyone in the world, a completely different world appeared in the sky, where almost all of the land was covered by lava.

Unfortunately, it's daytime now.

This scene shocked almost everyone.

In this relatively peaceful world, who has ever seen such a spectacle?

After all, the 33214 world is not the stinking Rotten Land; the world is relatively healthy, and its various defense mechanisms are quite complete.

Such a terrifying collision, a collision between worlds, did not create a breach for the time being; the two worlds were locked in a stalemate.

Until a terrifying crimson beam of light struck the point of impact from afar, and with the prying motion of the beam, cracks finally appeared at the point where the worlds collided.

The world shattered, and a huge hole appeared.

One spaceship was the first to enter world 33214, while the rest of the team was still preparing.

The world was shattered in a megacity, and the apocalyptic scene triggered unspeakable terror. To make matters worse, these invaders were not exactly civilized.

Psychic power is really a very useful thing; the Newt who were the first to break into the spaceship in world 33214 were already able to speak Chinese.

The spaceship flew through the sky like a giant fly, accompanied by broken Chinese.

"Earthlings, this is the Newt, a race far more advanced and civilized than yours. Please do not misunderstand, we have not come here to bring war and destruction, but to spread civilization and the future!"

These guys aren't stupid; they know to feign weakness at a time like this.

After all, their main forces are still stuck at the border between the two worlds.

Just as the Newts were advancing triumphantly, Xiao Yang was somewhat dumbfounded on the other side.

He had identified the objective of the mission. But now a problem arose: how was he going to get there?
He was already wearing the Dragon Hunter's Armor and had the Rusty Great Axe in his hand.

But how do we get across?
He can't fly, can he?

For a moment, there was silence.

Finally, Xiao Yang, somewhat dumbfounded, found a solution. His gaze fell on the dungeon door that was disguised as an ordinary cellar door, which was stuck in the cellar of his old house.

After a brief pause, Xiao Yang's figure appeared at the point where the two worlds collided, landing precisely on the other side of the Earth Fire World.

The dungeon gates have brought us here.

Although it didn't come without a price, I had to say a few insincere flattering words.

Forget about it, we've already arrived at this point anyway.

The Dungeon Gate has added another embarrassing story about the current Dungeon King.

His sudden appearance and landing immediately drew the attention of all the Newts on the field.

The reason it attracted so much attention was the psionic alarm that started going off like crazy.

These alarms serve only one purpose: to emit a frantic, piercing alarm sound when a dangerous location is detected.

Amidst that exaggerated voice, his gaze met the eyes of the Newts before him.

A prompt for the God Game popped up.

[Dungeon Crawlers in progress]

[Dungeon Conquest Rewards Arrived]

Without checking the reward for advancing into the dungeon, Xiao Yang thought for a moment and then simply pulled off his mask, revealing his face. He wanted to show a relatively gentle and kind smile.

Xiao Yang had no intention of attacking the moment they met.

He originally thought that encountering such a mission might involve followers of evil gods, exaggerated monsters, or ferocious beasts, but he didn't expect it to be another race, a race with intelligence.

In such a situation, taking direct action would obviously be inappropriate, especially for someone who subscribes to the ideals of the Holy Light Church and is a benevolent figure throughout the myriad realms.

Since these guys in front of him haven't done anything substantial yet, there's still a need for conversation. He's not a bloodthirsty madman.

“Let’s talk. If you back down now, it will be a good thing for everyone.”

Although Xiao Yang's gentle and kind smile was rather stiff.

But he has already shown the greatest goodwill.

Just as Xiao Yang was speaking so earnestly, suddenly, a scorching beam of energy streaked across the sky and struck his face, which was plastered with a stiff smile.

Unfortunately, these guys not only refused to accept his friendliness, but also lacked any sense of martial ethics.

Xiao Yang's expression froze completely.

The beam of energy that hit him didn't cause him any serious damage; it only made his eyes a little red.

This attack is not the end.

In an instant, all sorts of missiles and beams of light rained down on Xiao Yang.

A cloud of dust rose from the ground, and then everything calmed down.

Xiao Yang himself wasn't seriously injured, but his expression clearly betrayed his barely concealed distress.

He pulled down the visor of the Dragon Hunter's helmet.

Xiao Yang's expression turned completely ferocious at this moment.

There's nothing more to say!

"Damn, you're asking for it, aren't you?!"

Amidst loud roars, the battle began.

The force that Xiao Yang blocked was a fairly elite vanguard, possessing a considerable number of psionic Gundams.

These giant humanoid robots, enhanced by advanced technology, possess practical utility.

Earth Core Gold is a special metal with an astonishingly high energy conductivity.

It is also influenced by flexibility or willpower.

In other words, this is a kind of ideal metal.

This magical metal can achieve something like this:

"I think I'm very strong! Extremely strong!"

Then the Earth Core Gold really did become more effective and its various attributes became stronger.

Each psionic mech equipped with Earth Core Gold is a true treasure. When operated by a qualified pilot, it can easily demonstrate the power of the elite, and if the pilot is even more powerful, it is not impossible to demonstrate the power of a lord.

In the advance team, a Newt mech pilot turned his mech's power up to the maximum.

As his teammates fell one by one, his red eyes shone brightly as he piloted the mech.

Since the monster appeared, things have changed drastically. Teammates are dying one by one. In this short time, he felt fear, but he still swung the knife.

"Die! Monster!"

In an unparalleled brilliance, the blade was cleaved down.

Xiao Yang slowly turned his head.

He easily grasped the knife in his hand.

He didn't quite understand what the guy in front of him was doing.

How come he charged at me with such a selfless act after killing only a few of his comrades?

Does he understand something?

He appeared as an invader, while I am here as a true hero, a guardian of the world.

"Why does it feel like we're facing a super villain?"

Xiao Yang said this without saying a word.
