Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 470 The Rising Mushroom Cloud

"Meow!"

(It wasn't Earthshaking Star that released the meteorites, it was Heavenly Obstruction Star!)

Black Charcoal's voice came through the team channel.

"What 'Heavenly Obstruction Star'? Never heard of it!"

Yun Xiaogui laughed loudly, his dragon eyes flashing with an unusually bright light, and the entire dragon floated in mid-air.

The two dragon claws seemed to have grabbed something and were pressing down desperately.

"Never mind, Earth Explosion Star!"

Li Xia raised his head, and a small point of light appeared faintly in the boundless sky.

Before long, the spot of light became brighter and brighter and more conspicuous.

A dazzling bright spot formed around the huge meteorite, accompanied by a thin, luminous trail that swept down.

Li Xia's pupils constricted as the bright spot widened, and within seconds, the halo around the meteorite had already dyed half of the dim yellow sky.

The entire city of scholars seemed to be put on pause, and everyone looked up at the 'sun' that had suddenly appeared overhead.

The originally slender trail of light became thicker, like someone dragging a red-hot iron plow across the sky. The smell of burning gradually drifted into the air, mixed with the scorching heat of the dust being baked.

Li Xia heard the whistling sound was no longer a sharp "scraping through the air," but had turned into a muffled rumble.

The air is vibrating!
Ruger, who was half-believing and half-doubting the pretext of assembling the Second Guards Corps under the guise of group drills, had completely lost his composure.

I just stared, mouth agape, at the bright meteor hurtling down from the sky with the force to destroy everything.

His body even began to tremble uncontrollably. It was actually—it was really just as that man had said.
Ruger stared in disbelief as the meteor drew ever closer to the ground, like a runaway train bursting out of the clouds.

"boom--"

The first loud bang didn't come from the moment it hit the ground, but from the instant the meteorite struck the thick clouds in mid-air.

The cumulonimbus clouds burst open like punctured cotton wool, with white cloud wisps carrying firelight surging in all directions.

Standing high in the sky, Li Xia also felt a sudden tightness in his heart. He realized that he seemed to have underestimated the power of the meteorite created by Aowu.

Bright flames burst forth from his body, propelling him rapidly into the higher sky.

Just as the meteorite was about to make contact with the university, an unusually bright defensive barrier suddenly appeared above the entire university.

The semi-circular shield is composed of illusory hexagons, with endless radiance flowing across them.

The instant the meteorite made contact with the protective shield, a burst of dazzling light illuminated half the sky.

The protective shield only held out for a moment before shattering with a crackling sound, exploding into a sky full of radiant light.

The scholars standing below suddenly exploded, and countless deformed and twisted monsters grew roots.

The roots lashed wildly toward the sky, releasing streams of filthy light in an attempt to resist the meteorite.

But it's like an ant trying to shake a tree.

The next second, an even more terrifying impact erupted from the point of impact—the ground bulged upwards the instant the meteorite crashed into the university.

Time seemed to stand still, and then a shockwave visible to the naked eye spread outwards from the point of impact like ripples on water.

The large trees in the university were uprooted, and pebbles shot into the air like bullets. All the buildings were as fragile as paper.

Nothing can withstand such a terrifying impact.

Even Li Xia, who was already high in the air, couldn't help but raise his arms to protect his head. He could feel the hot wind surging from the bottom of his feet, carrying the rough touch of sand.

As the tremors subsided, he slowly lowered his arm, and a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose.

The entire university campus no longer exists; only a huge impact crater remains at the epicenter, revealing the charred bottom of the crater, with wisps of smoke rising from the rocks around the edge.

The air was filled with a strong smell of burning, along with a metallic, acrid odor.

Such terrifying power!
Everyone who witnessed this was stunned for a long time, except for Li Xia, who jumped down and sped towards the ground.

The high temperature in the impact crater felt like a warm spring to him, with chunks of scorching lava appearing on his body.

As expected, Gerrard was not dead, and even his house was unharmed.

The meteorite created by Aowu was not a genuine meteorite. Compared to a meteor falling from space, this meteorite, which fell from tens of thousands of meters in the air, was certainly powerful, but it ultimately lacked the domineering nature of a real meteor.

The reason it has such great power is because the meteorite created by Aowu is large enough.

The giant rock sphere, hundreds of meters in diameter, created a crater about 3 kilometers in diameter, which encompassed most of the university campus.

(The university campus covers an area of ​​over 1500 mu, while regular universities range from 1000 to 5000 mu, and Zhejiang University covers over 9,000 mu.)

However, the howling meteor was blocked by the protective barrier of the entire university and then by those twisted monsters, so its force was greatly reduced.

Most importantly, Aowu avoided the location of the small building and deliberately chose the front section of the university campus.

"Cool!"

A excited message came through the team chat:

"Boss, did that old bastard Gerrard run away?"

"As expected, Xiao Lou is fine, he's still here."

Li Xia landed slowly in front of the small building. The main reason he deliberately let the building pass was because he was afraid Gerrard would run away.

After all, he wasn't stupid, and the meteorite was so conspicuous.

Even those who are slightly stronger will have a clear sense of crisis when facing death.

However, if he weren't targeted, Gerrard would most likely stay, since this place had been corrupted and polluted by him, making it the most comfortable environment for him.

"What about Black Charcoal's side?"

"Meow meow meow meow! Meow meow—"

(Aria has prepared the equipment, and the Second Guard Legion is assembled and heading towards Scholar City!)
Li Xia nodded, leaned forward slightly, and left clear footprints on the ground with her boots.

"Whoosh!"

He dashed towards the small building, his body moving so fast it was almost a blur. His left foot slammed heavily on the ground, causing the soft, muddy ground to explode.

He raised his right foot and kicked the wall of the small building hard.

With a dull, loud bang, the entire building seemed to jump up, and huge cracks appeared in the walls, with gravel falling down in a flurry.

Roots surged from the cracks, and Gerald, whose body had been partially integrated into the wall to reinforce it due to the meteorite impact, trembled violently.

It sprayed out a large clump of thick, foul-smelling unidentified liquid from its mouth, and tentacles also gushed out from its mouth due to the vibration.

It was as if he had swallowed an octopus's head whole, leaving only its tentacles dangling outside its mouth.

It's not broken?

So sturdy?

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Xia's eyes, but he quickly understood.

This mesh structure is extremely resistant to blunt force impacts, suggesting that it was recently reinforced to prevent damage from the shockwaves of an impact.

He gripped the Murakumo sword at his waist with his backhand, and a cold glint appeared amidst the clear, resonant sound of the sword.

The crescent-shaped slash dimmed the surroundings for a moment, and he slowly sheathed his sword with a backhand.

The moment the crisp sound of springs snapping together rang out, the small building in front suddenly trembled, and fine slash marks spread across the wall.

The upper half of the wall slid to one side under the influence of gravity.

Gerald was revealed to be packing his things in preparation for his escape in the hall.

Gerrard: ?

A flash of blue light appeared in Li Xia's eyes.

[Comparing the intelligence and mental attributes of both parties]

[Due to the difference in values ​​between the two positions, you receive 60% of the information.]

Gerald (Dean of the College of Ace, follower of the Old Gods, preacher)

[Category: Human/Abnormal]

Physical Strength: 6

【HP: 84%】

[Energy: 3342/3729 (cap reduced due to distortion and corruption)]

【Strength: 20】

Dexterity: 22

[Intelligence: 45↓ (Confusion, Abnormality)]

[Mental State: 45↓ (Confusion, Distortion)]

Physical Fitness: 36↑

[Skills: Aberration, Contamination Meme, Spell Mastery, Source of Substitution, ???, ???, ???]

(Due to distortion and twisting, the original system collapsed and was damaged by 66%)

1. [Aberration]

Increased maximum health, significantly improved self-healing ability, and +10 to physique.
2. [Pollution Meme]

Having become corrupted by the knowledge of the Old Gods, he can create spiritual seeds to implant into the bodies of those who receive the knowledge he spreads.

After a certain period of incubation and catalysis, the other party is transformed into a variant.

3. [Mastery of Techniques]

Gerald is well-versed in most of the magic in the world today and has an excellent understanding of its principles.

释放术法时，获得10%-100%的效果增幅、0-40%的消耗缩减，释放速度增加0-30%。

It also comes with a certain amount of corruption bonus.

(Due to distortion and twisting, the original system collapsed and was damaged by 66%, and more than two-thirds of the spells could not be released.)
4. [The Source of Substitute Death] (Ultimate Ability)

Gerald constructed a network of polluting hives, so that as long as one polluter remained, he could not be truly killed.

Each death is borne by a lower-level contaminated offspring.

[Evaluation: The dean of Ace University, holding a high position. Although his talent for cultivation is ordinary, he possesses superhuman talent in research.]

It was precisely because of his thirst for unknown knowledge that he was infected by the madness of the Old Gods' knowledge while studying the Old Gods' covenant.

He became a follower of the Old Gods and attempted to offer the entire world as a sacrifice to the 'great god' he worshipped.

"Hiss, this immortality is a bit tricky. What should we do, boss? Should we just use Doom?"

The killing power of Doom is unstoppable; no matter what kind of immortality or invincibility you have, it will all be destroyed with a single shot.

The only drawback is that you have to accumulate golden Destiny Bullets, which can only be triggered if Li Xia is put in a real life-or-death crisis.

Li Xia's current idea is to gradually evolve the Spear of Destiny and see if he can optimize this skill.

"The other side doesn't have enough bad luck."

Li Xia didn't even summon Ye Ji. The opponent was a noob, at most a noob with better survivability, even if he was 'ten times stronger' after being corrupted.

However, Dean Gerald's strength was already weak, so even with enhancements, it wouldn't make much difference.

"Hey, ask how many people are in total at Aria University."

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Li Xia's face:
"We'll kill as many as there are!"
