Gaining a tiny bit of weight every day, my weight is a billion tons.

Sorry everyone, I didn't manage my time well, so I can only do one long chapter. (o(╥﹏╥)o)

------

The afterglow of the drift hadn't faded yet.

Su Ming's gaze had already locked onto his next target.

100 meters away,

A huge black rock, as tall as a two-story building.

Basaltic heavy rock has a hardness comparable to that of C-grade alloy.

Su Ming moved his right wrist.

Time to try another big baby.

Shen Qingci leaned against Da Huang, her arms crossed over her chest.

She watched silently. She already had a premonition...

This guy's going to pull another trick.

Su Ming turned to face Hei Yan.

Stand with your feet slightly apart and lower your center of gravity.

The next second, in my mind,

The dark gold skill icon was activated.

[Quality Heavyweight]!

In an instant, Su Ming's right arm felt as if it had been ripped from this world.

[Mass Convergence] A terrifying constraint imposed at the microscopic particle level.

It was solved in a fraction of a second!

Ten tons of actual mass, five times the kinetic energy correction.

50,000 kilograms.

All of it was pressed onto one fist.

hum-

The surrounding air was rapidly expelled.

Shen Qingci's pupils suddenly contracted.

The light around Su Ming's fist... distorted.

The mass density of that small area of ​​space was ridiculously high.

Even the path of light was slightly bent.

A terrifying sense of oppression washed over us.

She instinctively took a half step back.

coming!

Su Ming made no move to gather his strength.

Just like that, an ordinary punch was thrown!

"boom!!!"

It wasn't a sound, it was an air blast!

The instant the fist strikes,

High-speed friction with air,

It actually produced a dazzling white sonic boom ring!

The shrill sound of the air being torn apart hadn't even reached Shen Qingci's ears yet.

The fist had already slammed into the surface of the black rock.

A translucent spherical shockwave rippled outwards from the point of contact!

Completely crushing everything in its path!

"boom!!!"

The rubble flew in all directions like shrapnel.

Two-story-high basalt towers

Starting from the point of contact between the knuckles and the ball of the fist

It exploded with spiderweb-like cracks.

The cracks spread and ran through the entire rock.

It then collapsed with a deafening roar.

Dozens of millstone-sized pebbles tumbled outwards.

The ground beneath Su Ming's feet silently collapsed by half a meter.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

When the view became clear again, the black rock was no longer there.

All that remained was a jagged pile of rubble.

The edges of several pieces of gravel at the point of contact between the fist and the surface.

It has turned slightly black due to high-speed friction.

It still retained a dark red hue.

Su Ming looked at the white smoke rising from the knuckles of his right fist.

He blew on it with satisfaction.

Turning her head, she raised an eyebrow at Shen Qingci.

Praise me! Praise me now!

Shen Qingci stared at him blankly.

After several seconds, he managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth:

"...You're really amazing."

Su Ming's smugness instantly vanished by half:

"Senior, your reaction is too bland, isn't it?"

At least give me some screams and some adoring looks!

Shen Qingci bent down to pick up the beverage bottle.

His eyes held a weariness born of a disillusionment with the world.

"I'm no longer surprised from the moment you killed the Wolf King without taking any damage."

I've seen all the biggest storms, so what's this?

Su Ming: "..."

Tsk, this isn't fun anymore.

He was a little depressed.

He went to all that trouble to show off his skills.

As a result, the audience has become desensitized.

After the two had a simple breakfast,

They began cleaning up the campsite, which had been ransacked.

Prepare to break camp and return to Jiangcheng to hand over the mission.

But before leaving,

A very real problem,

It was placed in front of the two of them.

Su Ming turned his head.

He looked at the near-fourth-tier behemoth next to him, which was five meters long, over two meters tall at the shoulder, and topped with two enormous dog heads.

Big Yellow was lying on the ground gnawing on a wolf bone.

Flames occasionally shot out from the left to roast the food.

On the right, it exhaled a sharp golden aura that cut the bone into small pieces.

They were having a great time.

Su Ming rubbed his temples.

Jiangcheng, a Class D satellite city.

The city defense system has zero tolerance for source beasts of the third rank or higher.

If he takes this thing back with him,

Before even entering the city gate,

The rhubarb would have to be shredded into a sieve.

Big Yellow seemed to sense something.

Both heads raised at the same time.

Four eyes looked at Su Ming with a pitiful expression.

The art style was incredibly bizarre.

Shen Qingci carefully packed away the last piece of equipment and walked over:

"Are you really planning to take it back to Jiangcheng? Its energy level is about to break through to the fourth tier."

Once it enters the city's defense perimeter, the radar will lock it as an intruder.

Su Ming thought about it and agreed.

And even if you bring it back, where would you put it?

My own small, low-rent apartment of just over ten square meters...

Once Dahuang goes in, he'll have to come out and sleep on the streets.

And the lease is about to expire.

He looked at Big Yellow with a serious expression:

"Do you want to stay here?"

Big Yellow's two heads shook wildly.

His eyes were filled with "No, no, no."

"So, do you want to go to university with me?"

Su Ming asked again.

Big Yellow paused for a moment, then nodded frantically.

Su Ming turned to Shen Qingci and asked:

Which schools offer pet classes?

Shen Qingci rolled her eyes.

But looking at Big Yellow's expectant face...

She also felt a little guilty.

She also likes the dog.

Although it's a bit of a stretch to call this size a "dog".

After a moment of silence, she said, "My dad... should have a way."

Su Ming's eyes lit up.

Yes! Yes!

How could I forget about my cheap father-in-law!

Mr. Shen's family is large and powerful.

The backyard is definitely much bigger than my rented room.

Moreover, the elderly person is retired.

Shouldn't they just pet cats and walk dogs, enjoying their retirement years?

Big Yellow is such a majestic and imposing creature.

It would be so prestigious to take it out!

Moreover, rhubarb also ingests metals.

If you put it in a scrap yard, wouldn't that be like being a VIP member at a buffet restaurant?

He wanted to give Dahuang extra food later.

I'll also sneak a bite myself.

Isn't it beautiful?

Besides, with rhubarb as a lubricant,

In the future, I can use the excuse of "visiting my beloved dog" to...

He would run to the Shen family every few days, freeloading off them.

I also took the opportunity to exchange martial arts insights with the long-legged senior...

perfect!

……

At the same time.

Thousands of kilometers away.

Deep within the Abyss lies an absolute dead zone designated as "Forbidden Zone No. 6" by the Federation.

In the perpetually lingering black miasma,

A colossal throne entirely constructed from the stark white bones of high-level source beasts.

Appearing and disappearing intermittently.

On the throne

A man leaned back lazily.

Purple vertical pupils, pale skin

He had exquisite features and wore dark purple feather armor.

Between his slender fingers

He was idly twirling a dark gold syringe.

On the wall of the syringe,

It prominently displays an emblem of crossed swords.

Below the twin swords is the character "捌".

Federal Military Industry – a symbol of Level 8 Top Secret clearance!

Beneath the throne

A colossal creature, as large as an armored vehicle, was kneeling amidst the bone fragments.

Shivering.

Third-tier peak source beast

【Mountain-Splitting Iron-Spine Rhinoceros】!

The purple-eyed man chuckled softly.

It seemed quite pleased with the fear it felt towards the ferocious beast.

He flicked his finger.

The dark gold injection transformed into a stream of light.

It precisely pierced the back of the iron-backed rhinoceros's neck.

"roar!!!"

The Iron-Spine Rhinoceros of the Mountain-Splitting Mountain let out a painful roar.

The massive body trembled violently.

The muscles bulged up one by one.

A violent energy far exceeding its lifespan limits,

It exploded inside its body!

in the blink of an eye,

Its aura surged.

They forcefully broke through the shackles of the barrier of life!

Fourth tier!

A dark red brand slowly lit up on the Ironback Rhinoceros's forehead.

It is exactly the same as the brand on the forehead of the Crimson Mane Wind Blade Wolf King.

The purple-eyed man stood up.

Stepping down from the throne,

He casually patted the ferocious fourth-tier Ironspine Rhinoceros.

"They actually advanced?"

The voice was so soft that it was difficult to tell whether it was male or female.

"Very well, then take a look for me..."

Are the defenses of those ants truly so fragile?

Purple vertical pupils pierced through the endless darkness.

Looking towards the world beyond the source,

"The show's about to begin!"

He casually tossed the empty syringe into the pile of bones.

He turned and sat back on the throne.

The No. 6 restricted area returned to deathly silence.

Only the empty syringe glowed faintly in the darkness.

……

On the distant border.

A piercing alarm shattered the deathly silence of the abyss.

And this is just the beginning.

At the same moment, different coordinates—

Deep within the tundra of the north, in the depths of an ice cave.

A pair of scarlet vertical pupils opened in the eternal night.

The frozen ground cracked, and a fourth-tier bear, its body covered in frost, broke through the ice.

Roaring to the sky!

In the eastern seas, a deep abyss rift.

Thick, purple mist billowed out.

A four-tiered sea serpent, nearly ten meters long, coiled around the precipice.

It emitted a sharp, piercing scream like a baby crying!

The western Gobi Desert, the epicenter of sandstorms.

Amidst the dust that blots out the sky.

A fourth-tier sand scorpion emerged from the ground.

The stinger, gleaming with a ghostly blue poisonous light...

It sticks up high!

East, West, South, North!

Four war zones.

Four terrifying source beasts forcibly catalyzed by a mysterious force.

At the same time,

Breaking free from the shackles of the Abyss, they charged toward the human defenses!

------

Jiangcheng.

Xinghuo Waste Treatment Plant

Five underground levels, the Void Prison.

There was no light, no sound, no matter.

Only absolute darkness and nothingness.

Lu Beichen slumped onto the floor of a ten-square-meter room, which was dimly lit.

This is the only "entity" that can be perceived in the entire space.

He leaned against the wall, his eyes vacant.

It's been four days.

I've been locked up in this awful place for four whole days.

That day, he followed Liu Feng, the military inspector, into the so-called "isolation room."

Once the door closes, the world changes.

He had assumed that the fifth floor would be like the gravity chamber on the third floor.

It was filled with high-tech equipment, but unexpectedly...

This place is actually a virtual prison independent of the real world.

This technology,

He had only seen it in documentaries from the Federal Supreme Academy of Sciences.

A forbidden method specifically used to detain high-level dangerous creatures.

The cost is extremely high.

Why would a junk collector have something like this?

"roar--!"

Deep in the void,

Another muffled and suppressed roar came.

During these four days,

This sound would occur from time to time.

Every time, it terrified him.

Is it...

Is this guy surnamed Shen secretly raising Source Beasts?

Is it still connected to the depths of the Abyss?

The former went to jail.

The latter executed his entire family.

Excitement flashed in Lu Beichen's eyes.

That guy was so careless!

They actually revealed such a crucial secret to me!

But then he thought about it again and felt uneasy.

The other party is so unscrupulous,

Was it... that they never intended for him to leave alive from the very beginning?

impossible!

Lu Beichen shook his head vigorously.

The two-person training mission his brother assigned him is about to expire.

I've been out of contact for so long.

His brother, Lu Beiyuan, will definitely come to save him.

All he has to do now is endure it.

As for seeking help from the family?

I'd rather die than do it!

He was the pride of the prestigious Lu family.

Unable to win over a woman,

Instead, it was easily defeated by a garbage dump's butler robot.

They were even detained as hostages?

If this gets out,

Does he still have any face left in Beijing's social circles?

He had to wait for his brother to come and rescue him quietly.

Then, let Shen Hongyuan and that poor F-rank kid...

Do you know what true despair is?

Just as he was envisioning a triumphant return,

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the void before my eyes.

Shen Hongyuan was wearing floral shorts.

Wearing flip-flops,

He was holding two iron walnuts in his hand.

He walked in out of thin air.

He looked Lu Beichen up and down.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Four days passed, and the boy didn't cry or make a fuss.

He didn't beg for mercy, nor did he break down.

It can still maintain that unruly bird-like demeanor.

He does have some backbone, though.

He casually threw a light blue recovery potion at Lu Beichen's arm.

The medicine transformed into specks of light and entered the body.

A warm current instantly surged into my legs.

The long-numbed senses quickly returned.

Lu Beichen pushed himself up and stood up.

The broken kneecap has completely healed.

He felt like he was back in action.

"snort!"

He looked at Shen Hongyuan.

His eyes regained their wildness.

"What? You've found out about the Lu family's background?"

Now you're scared out of your wits and want to beg for mercy?

Shen Hongyuan frowned and looked at him quietly.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Lu Beichen became even more smug.

They assumed the other party was intimidated by the Lu family's reputation.

"Let me tell you, my brother, Lu Beiyuan..."

The youngest chief engineer at the Federal Research Institute, a peak third-tier awakener.

My father, Lu Zhenbang, is the current head of the Lu Group, a fourth-tier gold-level expert—

"Your father, Lu Zhenbang, is a fifth-tier platinum-level..."

Oversees the Lu Group's energy businesses in the south.

Shen Hongyuan interrupted him.

"Your brother, Lu Beiyuan, has decent talent, but unfortunately he went astray."

Your grandfather's name was Lu Chengde; he died in a beast tide thirty years ago.

The walnut spun around.

"As for your great-grandfather Lu Zhiyuan, who has been in seclusion for twenty years..."

He's just a seventh-tier causal awakener.

His tone was as flat as if he were reciting a menu.

The expression on Lu Beichen's face

It froze instantly.

How...how did he know about Great-Grandpa's affairs?!

This is the Lu family's top secret!

He was stunned.

Knowing that the Lu family had a seventh-level patriarch in charge,

Shouldn't he kneel down immediately?

Why do you still have that deadpan look on your face?

"There are two things I hate the most."

Shen Hongyuan finally spoke, his voice turning cold.

"First, someone is after my daughter."

Second, someone is showing off in front of me.

Unfortunately, you have both.

Lu Beichen's Adam's apple bobbed.

His lips moved, but no sound came out.

"I had hoped your family would take you away sooner."

I told you to get lost. But since they're not coming...

I don't support idlers here.

Shen Hongyuan held up one finger.

"That recovery potion cost one million."

Then a second one was erected.

"The cost of food and lodging for these four days"

Five hundred thousand a day, two million in total.

The third one.

"From today onwards, for every extra day you stay..."

An additional one million yuan detention management fee will be charged.

Shen Hongyuan stood up, looking down at him.

"Now, get downstairs and tighten these screws for me!"

"You can get out of here when you pay it all back!"

He snapped his fingers.

Lu Beichen hadn't reacted yet.

The scene before my eyes suddenly spun around me.

The next second, he was already in the sorting workshop on the first floor of the factory.

There was a pile of rusty screws and wrenches nearby.

Several porters around him glanced at him.

He's back to work with his head down.

Lu Beichen stood still.

My mind went completely blank.

He, the young master of the Lu family

The heir to a top-tier wealthy family in the capital...

Tighten a screw?

……

Shen Hongyuan appeared in the office area on the first floor.

He was still muttering curses under his breath.

"Damn it, these young people nowadays, one after another..."

Not as cunning as I was back then, but even better at putting on airs!

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and the walnuts spun around with a crackling sound.

Just as I was getting annoyed, my phone vibrated.

Upon looking at the caller ID, it read: My precious daughter.

Shen Hongyuan's face instantly switched from a grim reaper mode to a benevolent father mode.

The wrinkles have all smoothed out.

"Hey! Daughter!!!"

"Dad, the mission is over."

Shen Qingci's voice came from the other end.

It carried a rare touch of lightness.

"How did the mission go? Are you alright?"

"It went very smoothly." Shen Qingci's voice carried a hint of pride.

"Dad, my points on the Elite Ranking are now 7100, ranking fifth in the school."

Shen Hongyuan suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

"Fifth?! Fifth in the school?!"

"Um."

"Good, good, good! She's just as good as my daughter!"

Shen Hongyuan was so excited that the walnuts stopped spinning.

"You've got the makings of a martial god! When you get back, Dad'll make you braised pork ribs!"

Shen Qingci was a little embarrassed by the praise.

He cleared his throat and continued:

"Dad, there's something else."

"What's up? Tell me!"

"We also tamed one..."

I want to take the third-tier canine-type source beast back with me.

Do you have a solution?

"What the heck?"

Shen Hongyuan's voice instantly rose eight octaves.

"Tamed? A third-tier Origin Beast? Honey, you're not kidding, are you?"

Source beasts are inherently violent and almost impossible to tame.

To gain the recognition of a Source Beast as its master, one must be at least a seventh-tier Awakened.

This can only be accomplished through a soul contract.

My daughter went out to gain some experience and she got this kind of incredible luck?

To be precise,

It was during the evolution of a Wilderness Mastiff.

It incorporates the source beast bloodline of a peak third-tier wolf king.

Shen Qingci corrected him,

"It has now found its master and is safe."

Shen Hongyuan remained silent for two seconds.

"Are you serious?"

"Seriously."

"...Okay, I'll call Lao Qin later."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Shen Qingci smiled brightly.

Listening to my daughter's laughter,

Shen Hongyuan's heart skipped a beat on the other end of the phone.

My daughter's tone... something seems off.

He cautiously probed:

"So... is that kid you were paired with still alive? He wasn't a hindrance, was he?"

Shen Qingci recalled Su Ming's smug way of beating up the Wolf King and drifting around with his ten-ton weight.

His lips twitched involuntarily.

Holding someone back?

He's lucky he didn't lead the whole team into a ditch.

"I'm alive and well."

She said irritably,

"Big Yellow recognizes him as its master."

Shen Hongyuan: "What did you say? Big Yellow is that Source Beast? And it recognizes him as its master?!?"

"Dad, the reason we got such high scores on this mission is basically all thanks to him."

Shen Qingci seemed to have started talking.

"He single-handedly killed nearly a hundred strange beasts!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone!

"...Taking away the young master?!"

Shen Hongyuan doubted that he had heard correctly.

"Except for those at the first and second tiers"

There was also a second-tier Origin Beast, the Sky-Shattering Bat.

A berserk wolf guard at the peak of the second tier.

A peak-level Tier 3 Crimson Mane Wind Blade Wolf King

Finally, that wolf king even unleashed its full power, reaching near-fourth tier...

With each sentence Shen Qingci spoke,

The breathing on the other end of the phone became a little heavier.

When she finished speaking,

Silence was all that came through the receiver.

a long time.

"What the hell?!"

A vulgar curse that shook heaven and earth.

It came out of the mouth of Mr. Shen from the capital.

……

Jiangcheng,

City Defense Command Headquarters.

Commander-in-Chief Qin Luo was frowning.

Staring at the expanding energy reaction diagram of the Source Abyss Crack on the large screen.

at this time,

The red encrypted phone on the table rang without warning.

Seeing the last name on the caller ID,

Qin Luo shuddered.

I almost slipped off the chair.

He pressed a button on the wall with lightning speed.

The doors and windows of the entire office were instantly sealed off with alloy panels.

Entering a state of maximum secrecy.

He took a deep breath.

They straightened their military uniforms.

Only then did he cautiously answer the phone.

"Hello, Zhennan Yuan..."

"Stop!"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little impatient.

"Old Qin, I've told you so many times, call me Old Shen in private."

"Yes, yes, Old Shen, what...what are your orders?"

Qin Luo's waist unconsciously bent down.

"That's right."

Shen Hongyuan's voice came through.

"My daughter is at entrance number three, and I need to bring a third-tier source beast into the city."

It is an evolutionary fusion, has recognized its master, and is absolutely safe.

Please help me with the paperwork for the 'Military Auxiliary Source Beast'.

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo immediately patted his chest and guaranteed:

"No problem! Don't worry! Let alone a Tier 3,..."

You want to get a level 7 one from there as a pet.

I'll leave the door open for you!

"Get lost!"

Shen Hongyuan laughed and cursed.

"Come over for tea sometime."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

My back feels completely soaked.

To get this gentleman to make the call himself,

It seems that the Source Beast is very important to his daughter.

He was just about to give the order

An intelligence officer rushed in, looking flustered.

"Commander, urgent military intelligence!"

"Northern tundra, eastern seas, western Gobi Desert"

Three Class A battle zones simultaneously reported that fourth-tier source beasts had broken out of the Source Abyss and were attacking the defensive line!

Qin Luo felt a chill run down his spine.

"At the same time? What a coincidence?"

"besides!"

The intelligence officer's voice was trembling.

"Outside the Sixth Restricted Area, the [Mountain-Splitting Iron-Spine Rhinoceros] at its peak Tier 3 that we've been monitoring..."

It has now completely broken through to the fourth tier!

It was hurtling around at an extremely high speed.

They've already destroyed two of our outposts!

"Damn it, what's going on!"

"Immediately activate the highest level of combat readiness!"

Evacuate all trainees and mercenary groups from within the Source Abyss!

Qin Luo made a decisive decision.

"Predict its movements!"

"Report! Its movement route..."

They're speeding from Zone 2 towards Entrance Zone 3!

and many more,

"You, you said you were heading towards... which entrance?"

Qin Luo suddenly remembered something and jumped up from his chair.

"Commander, we're heading towards Entrance Three!"

"Oh shit!"

Qin Luo wanted to cry at that moment!

He desperately wished he had misheard!

He snatched the communicator and roared into it.

"Who is the closest Tier 5 Platinum-level player to Zone 3?!"

"Report! It's Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng, who is currently on leave!"

"Send him there immediately!"

"We must stop that beast at all costs outside Entrance Number Three!"

Qin Luo's hand had already reached for another phone.

He hesitated for a second.

Should we... give that person a call?

No.

Let Chu Feng take over first.

That person's daughter is at entrance number 3; there can't be any mishaps...

otherwise……

He dared not think any further.

"The entire city is on Level Two alert! All trainees and mercenary groups inside the Abyss and in the outer Ash Belt must immediately send out evacuation signals!"

"yes!"

The alarm sounded throughout the city defense command headquarters.

At this moment, outside the Ash Belt 3 entrance.

Su Ming and Shen Qingci were standing side by side.

One person rode a dog's head back home.

A faint, sweet, metallic scent suddenly filled the air.

Big Yellow's two heads simultaneously perked up their ears.

A low, warning sound came from his throat.

Suddenly, the earth began to shake.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!!!"

It grew increasingly intense as it approached from afar.

It looked like something was moving with unstoppable force.

They were crushed down on them.

Su Ming suddenly grabbed Da Huang's mane.

"stop."

Big Yellow's four hooves were firmly planted on the ground.

Both heads turned to the southeast at the same time.

The low growl in his throat turned into a sharp sob.

Shen Qingci jumped to the ground.

He knelt on one knee, his left hand on the ground.

The Gengjin Blade Bone talent, with its ability to resonate with the earth, is operating at full capacity.

"Minimum level four!"

Fourth order?!

How could it possibly appear on the outskirts?

Immediately afterwards, her terminal warning light flashed.

A line of scarlet text appeared as a projection.

[Urgent Notice from the City Defense Command:]

An unusual disturbance occurred in the Abyss, with fourth-tier source beasts breaking through the blockade lines simultaneously appearing in all four war zones.

All trainees and mercenary groups within the Ash Zone must evacuate immediately! Repeat, evacuate immediately!

Shen Qingci's expression changed drastically!

Uprisings broke out in all four war zones!

This could not possibly be a coincidence!

The Abyss Catastrophe... is it really coming?!
