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

Chapter 555 The Rise of the New God of the Lighthouse

"Squeak~!"

The cylindrical steel mesh covering nearly one-third of the base of the lighthouse is disconnected from the main body of the lighthouse!
Before the thousands of Devouring Beasts still climbing on top could react, they were pulled down along with the steel net by gravity.

"Boom——!"

The deafening roar of a heavy object crashing to the ground mingled with the thunderous hum of hundreds of thruster engines from the lighthouse!
Immediately afterwards, a massive number of high-explosive bombs were detonated simultaneously, sending flames soaring into the sky!
The enormous impact created a mushroom cloud.

The aftershocks even reached the lower part of the lighthouse, causing the entire massive floating city to sway slightly.

At the very bottom, the outer armor in many areas was damaged and deformed by this terrifying shockwave!
However, this did not prevent the lighthouse from being launched again.

Above the nail-shaped floating city, hundreds of engines, as dazzling as star rings, simultaneously spewed out scorching exhaust flames!
The massive floating city slowly rose into the air even before the violent explosions below had completely subsided!
And very quickly, its ascent speed exceeded two hundred meters per second!
Before the black beast tide below, which had been completely thrown into chaos by the explosion, could recover, it had already risen to a safe distance!

……

On the lifting platform.

After eliminating the last remaining Devouring Beast, the twenty Heavy Armor Warriors finally stopped their frenzied slaughter.

"Master Adam..."

Yan Feng dragged his chainsaw sword, now stained dark red, to Mo Yu. His scarlet eyes, still tinged with madness, remained filled with a brutal killing intent.

But in front of Mo Yu, he deliberately lowered his voice: "We can kill even more! Why stop us now?"

Linglong Moyu glanced at him, then swept his gaze over the heavy-duty warriors who clearly shared the same thoughts, and said indifferently, "All power comes at a price."

"You have just awakened, and the 'life essence' within your bodies has already reached its limit. If you continue, what will burn is your life force."

“I am not against sacrifice. But with you just awakened and in the ‘potential explosion period,’ and your combat power still has huge room for improvement, it is pointless to waste your precious life essence in this war of attrition…”

"This is a foolish act of suicide, not a noble sacrifice!"

The heavy-duty warriors fell silent.

Their brains, which had been burning with extreme anger, regained a little bit of their rationality at this moment.

Once they exit that adrenaline-fueled "turbulent" state, they no longer experience that inflated sense of power, ignoring pain, having unlimited energy, and feeling invincible.

On the contrary, due to the enormous exhaustion brought about by the previous exhilarating battle, I felt a deep-seated weakness originating from the depths of my soul.

This is a feeling of emptiness and weakness where even the slightest breath makes you feel like your body has been completely hollowed out.

One can imagine that if Mo Yu hadn't ordered them to stop forcibly, and had instead allowed them to continue their exhaustion...

When this battle ends and they are required to pay the corresponding price...

Of those twenty people, how many will be able to survive?

Even if they manage to survive, their bodies will most likely suffer permanent and irreversible damage.

From then on, he became a disabled person plagued by numerous illnesses.

and……

Yan Feng and the other heavy-duty warriors only belatedly noticed the time display on their cockpit control windows at that moment.

Previously, the commander of Jingnan told all the frontline soldiers that it would only take a maximum of fifteen minutes to restart the launch.

But now, more than forty minutes have passed since the lighthouse made its emergency landing.

It is clear that their Lord Adam has given them as much time as possible.

Let them vent their pent-up anger to the greatest extent possible.

At the same time, it also allows them to better seize the opportunity of their newly awakened potential and maximize the exploration of the new power within them!
And to be able to do this, to have such a precise grasp of their physical condition...

It is obvious that Lord Adam must have awakened long ago!

And he is more powerful than any of them!
"Boom~!"

Just then, a slight tremor came from the lifting platform.

Communication with Jingnan was quickly restored.

However, what was displayed by the holographic projection was not that dignified and beautiful face.

Instead, it was a gigantic Devouring Beast, its body covered in charred black, with several spots still burning fiercely!

Its two sharp claws, as big as a train, are gripping tightly the structural components at the bottom of the lighthouse that have been damaged by the explosion!

After securing its grip, the six sturdy limbs began to climb rapidly upwards!
It was obvious that the slight tremor just now was caused by the giant-toothed bijawed beast that had previously ambushed Mo Yu!
As if sensing something, it raised its head and looked in the direction of the surveillance camera.

That human-like face, under the uncanny valley effect, can further evoke the deepest fears in people's hearts!

Beneath that human head, a gaping wound resembling a crocodile occupying half of its body, was its true gigantic maw!

A claw as tall as a tower lunged at the surveillance camera!

"Beep——"

The surveillance footage shook for a moment, then went completely black.

"As you can see, the lighthouse was climbed up by this mutated Devouring Beast when it was taking off."

Jing Nan's holographic projection then appeared, a worried look on his face. "Right now, I just want to know, do we still have the strength to deal with it? If not..."

“Then I will immediately activate the final contingency plan and proactively detach the bottom of the lighthouse. But this will cause us heavy losses, and we will need to spend a lot of money on repairs afterwards.”

The twenty heavy-duty warriors, who had just been extremely weak, seemed to instantly recover from their weakness upon hearing these words.

"Lord Adam! Let's go!!"

"Yes, Lord Adam! We can do it! We can kill it!!"

A cacophony of voices, brimming with fighting spirit, emanated from the blood-stained mechs.

"All of you, report to the medical room immediately for a full check-up."

Linglong Moyu, carrying the chainsaw sword, activated his jetpack and floated into the air. "As for this two-jawed beast... I can handle it by myself."

Yan Feng and the other heavy-duty warriors were very unwilling.

But seeing Mo Yu's retreating figure, they ultimately did not dare to disobey his orders.

One by one, they stepped through the dark red, fleshy soil and walked into the lighthouse.

The clever ones, in the instant they turned around, had already submitted permission to watch the live battle on their terminals.

……

In the control room.

Jing Nan did not reject the applications from these heavy-dimensional warriors who had just made outstanding contributions, possessed explosive combat power, and were capable of killing superhuman-type Devouring Beasts.

If it weren't for Mo Yu, who could keep the situation under control...

If these twenty people have any other ideas, then the entire lighthouse will be transformed that very day!

No matter when, the saying "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" is a profound truth that reveals the underlying logic of politics.

All of this is based on the premise that Mo Yu can truly demonstrate sufficient strength.

Only in this way can we keep these arrogant and fierce soldiers in check and maintain their lofty status in their hearts.

This is also why Jingnan granted access to watch live battle footage.

Even if these heavy-duty warriors don't bring it up, she will still voluntarily demote them!

Jing Nan stared intently at the tiny figure on the screen in front of him, rapidly flying towards the enormous monster that was completely disproportionate to him.
"Hopefully... you can truly demonstrate unparalleled power. Otherwise, this lighthouse might... sigh~"

She sighed deeply.

She wasn't just thinking about the problem of those physically overpowered heavy 3D warriors.

And there's also the issue of her own brother Charles instigating a rebellion!
All sorts of things are mixed together, and just thinking about it gives you a headache.

At the base of the lighthouse, amidst howling winds.

Linglong Moyu piloted a jetpack, maintaining the same speed as the ever-ascending lighthouse, and floated in front of the giant-toothed bijaw beast.

Can he kill this massive Devouring Beast, as huge as a small mountain, all by himself?

With his current strength, it is clearly not enough.

It is really too big.

Linglong Moyu was unable to extract the spirit seed from the opponent's chest cavity in the same way she dealt with the snake dog.

But... he has a cheat code!
Linglong Moyu took out three pills with her backhand and put them into her mouth.

He had already used up his sharp metal power, but now he no longer cared about exposing his own strength.

Or rather, this is the time for him to demonstrate his power!
The powerful water element transformed into an icy blue halo, spreading across his body. His short black hair extended backward, transforming into a head of snow-white hair that danced wildly in the gale!

The giant-toothed bijawed beast sensed once again the fleeting, deadly danger emanating from the tiny human whose form had drastically changed! And from the even more potent aura of life essence!

"Roar!"

It raised its paw and slapped directly at the human. Its four limbs braced themselves, ready to pounce and drag him back to the ground to kill him once the human was subdued.

However, Linglong Moyu had no intention of engaging in battle and immediately took to the air.

Jing Nan, who was watching the game through the monitor, frowned, puzzled.

Seeing this, the giant-toothed bijawed beast chased after Mo Yu all the way up!
They climbed directly and unimpeded to the elevator platform.

The previously devastating battlefield is now deserted.

All that remained was a thick layer of dark red soil.

"Suck~"

The giant-toothed bijawed beast took a deep breath, sensing the life essence permeating the air.

Having a certain level of intelligence, it naturally guessed that the other party had intentionally lured it to this place.

But it doesn't understand where the crisis comes from.

"Let the water go!"

Linglong Moyu connected with Jessica's communication system and issued the command. Jessica, who was also paying close attention to the battle, paused for a moment upon hearing this before pressing the button.

She originally thought that Mo Yu asked her to store water in advance in order to clean the disgusting soil on the platform.

But now it seems that this is clearly not the case.

……

On the elevator platform, the giant-toothed bijawed beast surveyed its surroundings and, finding no ambush, discovered that it was not hiding anything.

The decision must be made quickly!

With a sudden burst of strength from its six thick limbs, its massive body leaped high into the air!

Two giant hands, each the size of a train, suddenly clasped together in mid-air!
Like two high-speed trains colliding head-on, it was about to crush that tiny figure completely!
Linglong Moyu noticed that the penetrating wound on the palm of its right hand had disappeared, leaving only a shallow scar.

He only felt the surrounding light dim, and then his escape routes were blocked by two palms, leaving him with no way to dodge.

but……

This is his home turf.

He didn't need to hide at all!

"Splash splash splash!!"

Like a floodgate being opened, a massive flow of water poured in from all directions above the platform, instantly engulfing the entire lifting platform!
The giant-toothed bijaw beast paid no attention to the lukewarm water, letting it drench its body.

In its eyes, at this moment, there was only Mo Yu, this tiny human who could pose a threat to it!
"boom!"

The giant hands came together.

A visible plume of frosty white mist was forced out from the crevice!

Sparkling droplets drifted down from mid-air.

Since the apocalyptic catastrophe, not a single real snowfall has graced this world.

The giant jawed beast's pupils contracted!
Despite its appearance as a fleshy animal, it was actually a mana plant. It felt a chilling current of cold air frantically penetrating its body!
"Click~ Click~"

A layer of fine ice crystals spread wildly upwards from its hands, which were about to close together! In an instant, it covered most of its forearm!

However, it felt as if a huge diamond was stuck in his palms, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not close them completely.

Linglong Moyu slowly walked out from between the giant hands.

A pair of eyes dyed ice-blue, like ancient ice.

Just looking at it on the screen makes you feel like the surrounding air has dropped by more than ten degrees.

It's a very strange feeling.

Unlike before, when he used the power of Geng metal, the killing aura it brought made him always want to cut something open.

Using the icy energy condensed from the power of water made his mind calmer and his thinking speed faster.

"Snapped!"

The ice crystals, as hard as steel, were suddenly broken free by the enraged beast!
The giant-toothed jawed beast swung its claws, which were stiff from the cold, at Mo Yu! It was hard to imagine that such a huge creature could possess such speed!

"Oh!"

Linglong Moyu simply waved his hand casually.

The water that was still flowing on the ground instantly turned into countless ice crystals, which spread upwards!
A huge, semi-circular ice shield covered his entire body from below!
The giant jawed beast's claws slammed heavily onto it, shattering the ice crystals!

Half of the ice shield shattered instantly!

But that's all there is to it.

Linglong Moyu reached out and grasped in mid-air.

More and larger ice crystals are emerging in a frenzy!

The shattered ice shield transformed into a giant ice crystal claw, even larger than the giant hand of the giant-toothed double-jawed beast!

He grabbed it by the neck in one swift motion!
"Roar--!!"

The giant-toothed bijawed beast let out an uneasy roar!
The enormous mouth, filled with sharp teeth, opened wide and snapped open the giant ice crystal claw that was holding it!

"madness."

Linglong Moyu gave a cold, dismissive laugh.

The water flowing beneath his feet turned into more ice crystals, which spread upwards.

The giant ice crystal claw, which had just been bitten and shattered, suddenly expanded!

The giant-toothed bijawed beast stared wide-eyed in terror!
It shook its head vigorously.

But the ice crystals that had already been stuffed into its mouth grew wildly, making it impossible for it to close its mouth! Instead, they were being stretched even wider!
The ice crystals that it had bitten off and accidentally swallowed had now formed a continuous line! They were also expanding wildly and spreading directly into its belly!

"squeak--!"

The giant-toothed bijawed beast moved its six thick limbs frantically, constantly shattering the increasingly thick layer of frost covering its body, trying to break off the giant ice crystal paw that had pierced its belly!

However, all of this was ineffective against the ever-increasing frost power of Linglong Moyu.

Its breaking speed cannot exceed the speed at which frost covers it.

In particular, as more ice crystals spread within its body.

Waves of cold air attacked from both inside and outside, freezing its joints and muscles, making it increasingly weak! Adding insult to injury!
"Wow—"

Jessica is good at reading situations.

After discovering that water could directly increase Mo Yu's combat power, they immediately drew upon another batch of water resources from the lighthouse and poured them down all at once.

Linglong Moyu gestured with his finger.

The water, cascading down like a waterfall, turned into ice crystals in mid-air and poured onto the head of the giant-toothed bijaw beast.

I poured a whole bucket of cold water on it!
It completely turned into a crystal-clear iceberg!

They were completely sealed inside, unable to move an inch!
……

Below the screen displaying live battle updates.

Everyone stared intently at the scene, deeply awestruck by this extraordinary power that was beyond human comprehension.

Many of the followers of the Light and Shadow Society who already followed Mo Yu knelt down in public, chanting the names of the Lord of Light and Shadow and Lord Adam.

Lying in his hospital bed receiving an IV drip, Yan Feng chuckled upon seeing this scene and said to his comrade beside him, "This power... truly worthy of Lord Adam!"

"If it weren't for his guidance, we wouldn't have been able to awaken our current power."

Even the doctor examining him chuckled and said, "If someone had told me before that we humans could one day return to the surface, I would have thought to myself that they were delusional. But now..."

He shoved one hand into the pocket of his white coat, turned to look at the figure on the screen, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

"Even if my generation may not live to see that day come, I believe that one day in the distant future, under the leadership of Lord Adam, we will surely be able to completely eradicate the Mana ecosystem and rebuild a new home for humanity on the ground!"

Similar words echoed in every corner of the lighthouse.

At this moment, in the hearts of the people of the Lighthouse, Mo Yu was no different from the god who guided them out of the apocalypse.

Charles was the only one who had ever seen the ethereal Lord of Light and Shadow.

But the "miracles" performed by "Lord Adam" were truly and vividly displayed before the eyes of every citizen of the Lighthouse!
As for the fact that he was not the next city lord appointed by the old city lord, he was not even the leader of the Light and Shadow Society.
Is this a problem?
When all the people of the entire Lighthouse genuinely believed that Mo Yu was the only "hope" capable of leading them through this damned apocalypse—

Does it really matter whether he is the "city lord," the "leader," or simply "Adam"?

These things are really just names.

The essence of rights does not lie in a piece of paper or a position.

It depends on how many people are willing to follow you and obey your commands!
……

In the control room.

Jingnan, who had deliberately made the live feed completely public, fell silent.

She never expected the live stream to be so successful.

"But... this is fine."

Jingnan turned his head and looked at his younger brother Charles, who was lying beside him looking as dejected as a defeated rooster. "The stronger he is, the higher his prestige among the people, and the less of a threat you can pose to him."

"This way, your chances of survival will be much higher. He doesn't necessarily have to kill you."

Charles lowered his head, his handsome face initially contorted with a grim expression, but quickly relaxed with a sense of helplessness.

The gap is really too big.

So much so that he lost all desire to fight anymore.

"Could it be that he was plotting against me from the very beginning?" Charles closed his eyes, recalling everything that had happened in the past few days.

Looking back now, he could see that many of the seemingly unintentional but actually manipulative things Mo Yu did to him were actually quite suggestive.

However, those choices were ultimately his own. And those actions were entirely consistent with Mo Yu's established persona.

Therefore, he was not quite sure whether his guess was true.

"no!"

Jingnan shook his head firmly.

She looked at him intently and said, word by word, "All of this is your own doing! It has absolutely, absolutely nothing to do with Mo Yu!"

Charles paused for a moment, then nodded wearily.

Even Fan Lu, who was standing next to him, could hear the admonition in Jing Nan's words.

Saints and gods must not be tainted with even the slightest flaw.

When someone tries to "smear" him, Mo Yu doesn't even need to say a word. Countless fanatical followers will step forward to help him erase the so-called "stain."

As a high-ranking member of the Church of Light and Shadow, she knew this all too well.
