I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Suddenly, they noticed a figure rushing towards them amidst the swirling sandstorm.

Chapter 880 Colonies

Urukk found it very strange.

With the water vapor evaporating, let alone humans in the midst of a storm, even those who approach this area will fall ill from the plague, be corrupted and alienated. How could anyone be inclined to venture into the tiger's den?

Although Urukk didn't know that some humans would see signs warning of flash floods and continue climbing, even if someone had already been swept away by the flood the day before, it was clear that the person in front of him was not the kind of bear who would die if he didn't court death.

Urukk saw that the insect beneath the man had begun to mutate; green mold grew on its flapping wings on the sand, flowers bloomed on its head, and its movements gradually slowed down.

Then, the man reached out and easily inserted his hand into the insect's head, causing the insect to lose its balance and fall into the sand.

"I no longer have to suffer."

Lu Ban touched the insect that had stopped mutating due to death. His hand transformed into a mass of crimson flesh and blood, quickly devouring the insect's corpse and merging with it.

"The taste is indeed awful."

Lu Ban looked at the huge curtain of rain rushing towards him.

What kind of torrential rain was this?

The sky and the earth were as if covered by a blurry frosted glass. Raindrops formed lines, reflecting everything in the outside world. Behind the rain curtain were endless dark green clouds, and within them, green lightning bolts, like long snakes, meandered and twisted.

In this heavy rain, the boundaries of things became blurred.

Lu Ban could see an army marching among them, as well as many more ordinary people riding insects like traveling merchants.

These ordinary people have greenish bodies and many broken skins. Mushrooms and shoots are growing from these broken areas.

They are like a fusion of organisms and plants, thriving under the nourishment of rain.

Apart from the torrential rain, the world was completely silent.

The surrounding water vapor glowed green, and upon closer inspection, Lu Ban could see tiny colonies of bacteria permeating the water vapor through his [True Vision].

These germs have sharp shells and slender limbs, like bullets with legs.

When pathogens come into contact with cells, they use their sharp heads to pierce the cell membrane, injecting substances into the cell, using the cytoplasm to proliferate, and eventually take over the body, turning it into a tireless warrior.

Even now, those bacteria are entering Lu Ban's body through his respiratory tract, attempting to erode his health.

Even the hairs in its nose turned green.

Lu Ban took a deep breath.

In his lungs, the bacteria tried to replicate his behavior, dividing, multiplying, and taking over all the cells, transforming Lu Ban into one of those zombie-like "vegetative state" beings.

However, Lu Ban quickly absorbed, devoured, and digested these germs, turning them into nutrients just like the insects.

Germs are nothing more than a form of contamination.

The level of pollution was not enough to affect Lu Ban; in fact, he could even influence these germs.

The rain, like a wall of sighs, rushed towards Lu Ban.

bang——

In an instant, Lu Ban felt that all he could hear was the sound of rain.

The surge caused by the heavy rainfall has submerged Lu Ban's feet, and deeper still, the desert has sunk into the sea, a deep and mysterious place where unknown dangers lurk.

Lu Ban walked towards that group of people first.

In the distance, amidst the torrential rain, he saw these "vegetative people" slumping like zombies, moving through the shallow water. This was partly because the sand, soaked with rainwater, was indeed difficult to traverse, leaving deep puddles with every step, and partly because these creatures didn't seem very intelligent, their movements somewhat sluggish.

However, their senses are quite sharp.

They spotted Lu Ban from afar.

Several people developed moldy bone spurs in their hands, which, together with fascia, formed bows and arrows, with the arrows centered around the spine.

Soon, they launched their attack in this somewhat bizarre way.

Arrows formed from spines flew towards Lu Ban, but before they could hit the ground, they all exploded, breaking into countless fragments and spores. These fragments were far more terrifying than the storm. In an instant, the sand within dozens of meters of Lu Ban's location was baptized by the fragments, splashing water everywhere.

The spores covered the area, and the high concentration of germs even began to contaminate the water. The raindrops that fell to the ground were as sticky as glue, forming a mud puddle around Lu Ban and restricting his movements.

Lu Ban was naturally unable to escape the attack of these fragments.

His body was riddled with wounds, not a single patch of skin intact. At the wounds, countless germs began to multiply and grow wildly, tearing at his flesh.

Lu Ban simply melted away, turning into a puddle of flesh and sinking into the water.

Amidst the foul-smelling rainwater, Lu Ban could sense a large number of bacteria.

If this rain were to fall on Utopia, it would likely turn everyone in the city into "vegetative state" in a short time, and after a longer period, the entire wasteland would be left with only these severely contaminated zombies.

He divided himself into dozens of pieces, wandering in the water, searching for any possible traces of the chosen ones.

Soon, Lu Ban spotted a strange-looking creature swimming in the deep sea.

The thing looked like an octopus, except its head was full of eyes and was encased in a transparent helmet, like an astronaut.

His tentacles swam in the water, looking quite content.

However, as Lu Ban approached, the other party immediately noticed the intruder's presence, and several eyes turned towards him.

"Ok?"

Urukk found it very strange.

He had initially thought it was a reckless human from the wasteland, but now it seemed that this guy wasn't exactly a decent human either.

Could this be a potential hostile chosen one?

Urukluk thought about it and immediately became serious.

However, this aura appeared from all directions, and many places had that guy's scent, as if it had become a clone.

Uruk's tentacles wriggled, and soon, the end of one of them turned into something resembling a gun barrel.

The octopus race is proficient in bio-modification technology. This bio-modification includes not only physical and mental strength, but also the weaponization of the entire body.

While others' "armed to the teeth" is a metaphor, the octopus man's "armed to the teeth" truly means he can fight with his teeth.

At this moment, what Urukk generates is one of their commonly used weapons.

bang——

In the water, the gun barrel made a crisp sound, and a bullet the size of an egg was fired from the barrel, moving towards Lu Ban's position at a not-so-fast speed.

One of the land obstacles was the target of this projectile.

He hadn't figured out how to deal with this inexplicable thing yet.

The next moment, when the projectile was still more than ten meters away from Lu Ban, it exploded.

A mushroom cloud rose from the ground.

Chapter 881 Nuclear Fusion Rocket Launcher

In the universe, although civilizations may take different forms, some things are similar.

For example, the energy source for most planets is the star in their respective star system.

That is, nuclear fusion inside the sun.

The energy released by these nuclear fusion processes supplies the energy needed by most habitable planets, enabling civilizations to develop.

Of course, there are also some extremely special alien realms where creatures feed on other substances, such as extreme emotions or dreams, or the products of pollution.

But the source of all this is still the energy provided by the sun.

Therefore, for the vast majority of civilizations, the power of the sun can be considered the ultimate weapon.

Octopus-men are no exception.

Their world also has a sun, so after the octopus people ended their long war and flew into space, they also studied their own star.

Controlled nuclear fusion and miniaturization are already standard technologies among the octopus people. Even newborns who have just started learning can use simple materials and the convenient tools buried in their genes to create a small nuclear bomb.

Uruk uses this kind of technology.

What he just launched was a small fusion bomb.

The fusion bomb had a wide radiation range. Almost instantly, the area where Lu Ban's flesh was located was evaporated, and the surrounding sand and gravel didn't even have a chance to melt, turning directly into a gaseous state.

As for the raindrops and the pool, they no longer exist.

A mushroom cloud pierced through the clouds. Within the pure black cloud, lightning caused by energy leakage intertwined with the dark green lightning that was already present in the storm, creating a symphony of thunder.

Centered on Lu Ban's location, everything within a radius of several hundred meters evaporated, leaving behind a huge crater.

Further away, the remaining gravel was still molten, cooled by the water rushing in from outside, and billowing white smoke.

In the world of Lu Ban, there were some designs that were unclear whether they were just for fun or based on reality. One of them was the shoulder-fired nuclear rocket launcher, which could be considered a suicide weapon because its destructive radius was greater than its launch radius.

Urukuk held a similar weapon.

He himself was also within the kill radius of a nuclear bomb.

However, in the steam, slippery tentacles spread, and Urukk crawled out of the scorching steam as if nothing had happened.

His tentacles were covered with a translucent shell. When he shook it, the shell would fall off and quickly dissolve in the water, scattering and polluting the water, creating many bubbles.

This is an adaptive shell that automatically generates when each octopus is attacked. Under the protection of the shell, even if a nuclear bomb is detonated in front of them, it will not cause any damage. Not to mention, the octopus's body has been modified to absorb nuclear radiation. The radiation that would kill people is just a snack to them.

When facing unknown enemies, Urukk usually uses these weapons to probe and try to get a shot at them.

If the problem is solved, then Urukluk naturally has nothing to worry about.

If the other party doesn't resolve the issue, then we can discuss other things.

Now, looking at Lu Ban, who was now completely gone, Urukruk was very satisfied.

The explosion also caught the attention of Utopia, a hundred miles away.

By the time the shockwave reached this point, it was already at its last gasp, but it still brought a gust of wind to Utopia.

On the Great Pyramid in the center of the city, Plato gazed at the torrential rain still on the horizon, and the mushroom cloud rising from within it.

"That's an ominous rain; it will bring destruction to this city."
