Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 549 Unable to Restart! Dive towards the enemy!
"No! The remote reboot protocol is locked! We don't have permission!"

"Damn it, why don't I even have enough authority to speak for Lord Jingnan?!"

One report after another, filled with frustration, came from the desperate cries of researchers.

"What do you mean the system can't be restarted?!"

Charles was stunned when he heard the news.

Then a surge of anger ignited from his fear. He grabbed the collar of a researcher in front of him and roared furiously, his face contorted with rage:

"I don't care what methods you use! I'm giving you three more minutes! If the system can't restart within three minutes, I'll take your lives!"

The researcher was so frightened by his murderous expression that he trembled all over, broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"enough!"

Jingnan shoved Charles's hand away and shielded his men behind him: "My men are not for you to shout about! If you insist on disturbing our emergency repairs, then get out!"

"you……"

The Lightbringer, Van Lu, standing beside Charles, flashed a cold light in his eyes and suddenly waved his hand.

More than twenty fully armed priests stepped forward from behind!
The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at all the researchers present!
"..."

Inside the navigation control room, the researchers, already exhausted from the system crash, had never seen anything like this before.

They were all so frightened that they put down their work and looked at the priests in terror, their faces pale.

However, Jing Nan showed no fear, crossed his arms, and protected all the researchers behind him.

She first gave Van Lue a cold look, then fixed her gaze on Charles: "Every second you delay us here increases the chances of the lighthouse crashing."

"If you want to drag all of us down with you, you can continue your utterly foolish behavior."

"If not, then take your dog and get the hell out of here!"

"presumptuous!"

Fan Lu was about to raise his hand to give the order.

Charles grabbed her arm.

After his initial outburst of rage, he regained his composure and looked at Jing Nan, asking in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

"The central control system is malfunctioning, preventing us from restarting the energy system remotely. The specific situation is unclear!"

Jingnan glanced at the menacing clergymen behind Charles and knew he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to do something.

But the most urgent task now is to restart the energy system, otherwise everyone will die!
“We don’t have time to check each case one by one. The best thing to do now is to go to the ‘Computing Power and Energy Control Center’ immediately and perform a manual restart.”

"Then go and restart it manually!"

Charles stared wide-eyed in bewilderment.

It's already this late, what the hell are you still dawdling about!

Jing Nan bit her lower lip lightly: "Only one person has permission to enter and exit the 'Computing Power and Energy Control Center.' That is... the City Lord."

"..."

Charles froze for a moment, then felt his blood rush to his head. He covered his forehead, feeling his blood pressure soaring.

Morgan, that old man, really knows how to screw people over!
As Morgan's biological son and the head of the Light and Shadow Society, he was universally regarded as the "crown prince."

He still doesn't know where the 'Computing Power and Energy Control Center' is, let alone how to access it.

"You, you, and you, come with me."

Jingnan turned to point to a few of his most capable technical staff, then looked at Charles seriously: "If you don't want us all to be finished, send your people to bring Jessica to me safely as soon as possible!"

Charles was quite helpless.

In the current situation, even if he controls all the military power, it's useless.

If the lighthouse can't be raised, and it falls to the ground, the Devouring Beasts will come after it, and everyone will be doomed.

He had no choice but to pick up his personal terminal and send a message to Vanti, who was waiting outside the medical room: "Take a team and bring Jessica here immediately..."

Charles suddenly paused, then turned to look at Jingnan as he turned and left.

"The City Lord's Study!"

Without turning his head, Jingnan gave an address.

After giving the order, Charles, with a gloomy face, quickly followed behind Jingnan.

He wanted to see what secrets his good father had been hiding in his study that had kept it from him for so long!

……

In front of the medical room.

The atmosphere remained tense.

Seventy or eighty priests still surrounded the thirty city guards.

Both sides had their weapons loaded and were not letting their guard down in the slightest.

By this point, even if Victor were a fool, he should have guessed that Charles didn't just want his military power to fight the Devouring Beasts.

That's just a matter of communication.

With such a large mobilization, it's obvious what he really wants to do under this pretext amidst the chaos.

Meanwhile, Vatican received orders and led a group of people to find Jessica.

As a result, the law priests who had originally surrounded the area were reduced to a group of about fifty people, led by Sharif.

Against thirty city defense soldiers, they no longer had absolute dominance.

Victor's eyes flickered.

But in the end, they did not choose to act rashly at this time.

Before the energy system is restarted, the current beacon cannot withstand major upheavals.

Even if we're going to fight, we have to wait until the current crisis has passed!

……

Lower deck, on the elevator platform.

Linglong Moyu was directing people to lay down rings of high-explosive bombs. The entire lighthouse was actually a nail-shaped floating city, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

At the very bottom, there is only a very narrow pointed section, which is used only as a lifting platform. Although it is the only entrance and exit channel, it is not an indispensable core area.

If necessary, it can be blown up or detached to save itself from destruction!

After all the bombs were planted and the heavy weapons were in place.

The laborers, who had been temporarily conscripted, paid no heed to their physical exhaustion.

They slumped to the ground, silently praying that the lighthouse could resume its ascent soon.

More than two hundred fully armed citizens, although they had not participated in the heavy physical labor just now, were also so nervous that their palms were sweating, and they were silently praying to the Lord of Light and Shadow.

"Lord Adam! Even if you insist on staying on the front lines, please make sure you are equipped with heavy armor!"

The burly, law-wielding priest who often followed behind Mo Yu was now dressed in heavy, silver-white mecha armor and handed over a chainsaw sword.

Linglong Moyu accepted this ferocious weapon, which in theory had never been considered for human use!
"Om~!"

He waved his hand a few times casually.

The chainsaw blade's teeth spun at high speed, cutting through the air and emitting a piercing roar.

The heavy, cold texture, enhanced by the magical field, felt just right in his hand.

Linglong Moyu nodded in satisfaction and said again, "Go and get me another 'Dawn Type' jetpack."

The big guy looked distressed and said with difficulty, "Lord Adam! The 'Dawn Type' jetpack is specifically designed for Commander-class heavy units!"

"The terrifying force it generates in an instant is enough to compress, deform, or even shatter a person's bones and internal organs!"

"How about... I get you a single-soldier one?"

Linglong Moyu didn't speak, but simply turned her head and quietly gazed at him.

Less than two seconds later.

The big guy was defeated and turned away dejectedly to retrieve his potentially lethal jetpack.

When he returned it.

A similar heavy-duty vehicle, but much smaller, carrying a large-caliber sniper rifle, happened to walk by.

Seeing what the big guy was holding, she asked in confusion, "What are you doing with that jetpack? Keeping it as a backup? It doesn't suit your model at all!"

"It was Lord Adam who told me to get it..." the big guy said, looking aggrieved.

"Is he insane?! Not wearing heavy armor, but using the 'Dawn Type' jetpack on his bare body?!" Hilda immediately let out a sharp, explosive sound.

She pointed at the burly man with exasperation: "Why didn't you try to stop him? Were you just going to let Lord Adam act so recklessly?"

"I tried to persuade him! But Lord Adam, can I really persuade him?"

"You piece of trash! Watch this!"

Hilda stormed up to Mo Yu.

Linglong Moyu turned around and glanced at her indifferently.

Linglong Moyu turned around and glanced at her.

"..."

Hilda's indomitable spirit instantly deflated.

She lowered her head, silently took the jetpack from the big guy's hands, and then personally equipped her Adam.

The burly man following behind curled his lip and muttered under his breath, "Tch, not even as good as me. At least I dare to say something to advise you."

Hilda ignored him.

The big guy didn't dare to keep babbling.

As the thrust generated by the lighthouse engine gradually decreased, the entire floating city drew closer and closer to the ground.

Even elite priests like them could not hide their fear in the face of tens of thousands of Devouring Beasts that surged like a black tide on the ground.

And yet they are like this.

The other soldiers were even more terrified.

If a real fight breaks out, adrenaline will surge, and there won't be time to think about so many things, which might be better.

Yet, knowing full well that an abyss of death awaits them ahead, they can only watch helplessly as it unfolds.

This period was the most difficult and mentally taxing!

Then they saw.

The man who had been standing at the edge of the platform activated his jetpack.

"boom--!"

The "Dawn" jetpack used on Commander-class heavy vehicles makes propelling a mere human body a piece of cake.

Even if Linglong Moyu only activated the minimum driving force.

Yet, it was still propelled away by that terrifying force!

It left a straight trail of flame in the air.

After a brief moment, everyone saw him spin upside down in the air, and then... propelled by the immense power of the jetpack, he plunged headfirst into the ground teeming with Devouring Beasts!
"Lord Adam!!"

Hilda was immediately dumbfounded.

After realizing what was happening, she rushed to the edge of the platform and shouted, "Lord Adam! Come up quickly! Come back!"

However, whether it was an operational error or they simply didn't hear her cries, it's unclear.

Linglong Moyu continued its rapid descent, showing no sign of turning back.

Hilda gritted her teeth, activated her jetpack, and flew down without hesitation!

Upon seeing this, the big guy roared in anger without thinking and followed after him!

On the elevator platform, several hunters who hadn't participated in the ground mission stared in disbelief at this truly heroic scene, muttering to themselves:

"Are all these guys from the Light and Shadow Society this brave?"
