There can't be a Harvest Moon in the RimWorld.

"Get out of the way! Something's wrong!"

Ada Wong and I both noticed something was wrong, but it was too late. The 50-meter-tall Black Gilas's gaping jaws snapped shut!

Even the lips couldn't conceal the slanted fangs. The huge body suddenly rolled over, and relying on the swing of its long tail, it suddenly achieved a 180-degree turn in the air, throwing Zack off its back and pressing it down with its claws!

If Zach had been trampled underfoot, his flesh and blood would have surely died. Fortunately, at the last moment before landing, Zach's body floated away like a piece of paper, temporarily overcoming the effects of gravity.

Then, Zack kicked the monster dozens of times, generating tremendous elasticity to break free from its side. He then vanished into thin air and reappeared ten meters away, finally landing on solid ground.

But suddenly, a ferocious dark red dragon head emerged from the churning clouds, chasing after Blackgilas's figure as it fell together!

Such actions are quite obvious; there must be a trap!

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the monsters skimmed the edge of the camp like meteors falling to the ground, landing on the land of Kuroshio Island!

The two monsters landed one after the other, their slightly shrunken feet digging deep into the muddy coastline. Hundreds of tons of soil were lifted into the air by the shockwave from the monsters' landing, before crashing back down, triggering an earthquake that had never been recorded on Kuroshio Island before.

As Zack said, the two monsters' feet were immobile, and their twisted ankles seemed unable to move quickly, so they could only stand side by side, one in front of the other, deep in the muddy beach.

Sensing the monster's landing location, Zack once again leaped into the air, charging towards the imposing twin monsters, dodging the monsters' blazing red beams, his movement so fast it was impossible for the naked eye to follow.

But something unexpected happened.

Just as Zack's fist was about to strike, the two monsters suddenly moved again!

Undeterred, the injured Black Gilas turned and grabbed Red Gilas's arms, while the long horns on his back emitted a condensed, unyielding crimson light.

Then the two ugly, toad-like dragon-like monsters hugged each other and began to spin wildly!

Before Zack could even get close, he was violently thrown back by an invisible spinning force. Then, the twin monsters fired a crimson beam several times more powerful than the previous one, which struck Zack in mid-air!

The unprecedentedly powerful ray did not stop after hitting Zack; instead, it moved uncontrollably in all directions, eventually cutting deep into the ground of Kuroshio Island, leaving deep scars on the earth like a hot knife through butter!

Along the coastline, large amounts of reefs and soil have collapsed into the sea. The meat, eggs, and dairy products consumed by Chinese people will not affect Brazil's rainforest, but the geological scars on the islands will cause ground fissures!

A wide crack spread out with a deafening roar, splitting the artillery position in two. Men fell into the crumbling crater and were never heard from again!

"Watch out, Kai!"

I shouted a warning, because the crack in the ground stretched right between me and Kai, and it seemed to be widening. "Keep your gun safe, I'm going to find Zack! To see how he is!"

…………

I finally found Zack at the edge of a fissure in the earth.

The vast planetary gravity is unforgiving. Even someone as powerful as Zack, who was at the fourth level of the half-step gene lock, could not offset the damage from the fall and was left with only a trace of life.

"I'm going to... fight..."

Zach, lying in a pool of blood, was still murmuring.

I stared at him, dumbfounded.

Zack can actually speak now? Does that mean he has developed his own will? Does it mean he has truly entered the fourth tier?!

If this is the fourth level of the gene lock that I know, then Zach should be able to ignore the size difference and easily eliminate the monster!

Besides, why hasn't his injury healed at all?! What happened to the promised molecular-level self-healing function of cells? Was it removed by the developers?

This negative optimization... I never thought Zack would also be a victim of legitimate software.

[Dad, what's wrong with Zack?!]

I immediately dialed the off-site help hotline.

[You brat, have you forgotten what I told you about the "death threshold"? In alchemy, the limit to which various elements are heated and corrupted is the "death threshold."]

[The death threshold... Shouldn't that be a state of inner demons? Why can he still speak?]

Old Man Hook's tone was also a bit unpredictable.

[Zack is seriously injured, possibly due to continuous physical blood loss or severe mental trauma, which may have slowed down the "heating" process, leaving him with some remaining rationality.]

What would happen? Would it be good or bad for him?

Old Man Hook sent his last message, which ended our spiritual exchange.

Whether fast or slow, corruption ultimately leads only to death.

It really wasn't the fourth stage of the gene lock...

Then Zach's situation is even more dire now.

The "Heroic Chart" can bring extremely powerful strength, but it cannot help the body heal, because as long as one exists on the Kabbalah Tree of Life, there will inevitably be bottlenecks and limits. Only by breaking through the limits can one achieve a leap in life status.

The only consequence of failing to burn completely is death...

"Zack, you can't move anymore! I have to take control of your condition right now!"

But Zack, his eyes vacant, flung my arm away and staggered forward, bleeding profusely.

"I have to go... to save them... they're still waiting for me..."

After taking two steps, he collapsed again into the deep pit in the ground, blood gushing from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He was vomiting large amounts of blood and emitting intense steam. His body was as pale as a paper doll.

"Zack! Hang in there!"

I tried to help him up, but he pushed me away first, forcing me to swallow the blood back down.

Zach's once white teeth were now stained red, but the sharp knife embedded in his back was oozing even more blood, almost submerging his ankle, and the wound was worsening rapidly...

"Zack! Wake up! I'm here, you don't need to save anyone!"

"They're still waiting for me on the ship... I have to..."

Zach mumbled incoherently and took another step.

His mind seemed isolated from the world, yet an invisible thread bound his ribs forward, and even if his body was shattered and his brains were scattered, it could not stop his steps.

I had to stand in front of him.

"You'll die if you go any further! You have no choice, you have to give up, Zack! Get out of the Death Point!"

Zack stared at me with a vacant,狰狞 face, and muttered, "I had no choice... They're still waiting for me on the ship..."

But at that moment, the monster, which was spinning and emitting deadly rays, was suddenly struck by a strange beam of mixed light, triggering a violent explosion!

"There are still options!"

On the other side of the chasm, Kai walked towards us, gun in hand, shouting as he gritted his teeth and stared at the monster not far away—at this distance, he wouldn't miss even with his eyes closed.

“Kay! What are you doing!” I shouted at him.

Kay said firmly to me, "As long as we eliminate them, it will be over! This is our only option! We still have a choice!"

The twin monsters, which had been embracing each other, were separated for a moment, then immediately locked onto this spot and moved slowly and terrifyingly toward it, with deadly rays constantly surging out!

Amidst the roar of the explosion, I could only shout at the top of my lungs, "Be careful, that gun could explode at any moment!"

But Kay seemed not to hear, standing still and continuing to fire.

Each time the trigger was pulled, a mixed-color beam of light shot from the muzzle, producing a remarkably pronounced Tyndall effect the instant it struck the air. The swirling, tumbling column of mixed light, combined with the powerful red rays emitted by the monster, collided in mid-air, generating intense glare and vibrations!

Amidst the smoke and fire, Kai aimed again, determined to kill the monster.

But with each shot, an eerie and dangerous light emanated from the fluorescent tube attached to the short-barreled shotgun, gradually brightening as if it contained hidden suns...

Finally, Kay's shooting motion suddenly stalled.

He fired two shots without any response. I saw him look at the weapon in his hand with a puzzled expression and shake the unresponsive barrel.

The next moment, the fluorescent tube suddenly became brighter, as if a thousand suns were erupting at the same time!

The ray burst spread uncontrollably in all directions, rapidly expanding from Kai's center, engulfing me, Zack, the twin monsters, everyone in the camp, and the entire island one by one. The world was immersed in an endless hell of mixed light!

Chapter 652 This greatly shocked me

When my burning, melting brain realized something was wrong, I was already completely under the control of the radiation storm. Intermittent, intense pain emanated from my entire body, both physical and mental, interrupting my mental concentration time and time again.

Just when I was at a loss, through hazy and fragmented memories, I mustered my last bit of willpower and searched for a spell that might contain mysterious power…

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun... Taishang Laojun Xianzun... Tianzun Yang Jian Tianzun... Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun... these should be the ones, right..."

"Dark Sword 22, not belonging to this era... The Qin King above the Iron Curtain... The ruthless ruler who excels at slacking off... Roosevelt Khrushchev... Uh... Something seems off..."

"Never mind... just listen to my whispers in the void..."

In a daze, it seemed that as the incantation was chanted, something really did change!

In my hallucination, I saw sand turn into glass, trees into gold and stone, and my own body instantly stripped of flesh and blood under intense radiation, becoming translucent and bright as jade.

When I "opened my eyes," I was enveloped in a sphere outside of time, and the light outside this barrier was moving in a rhythm that alternated between fast and slow.

Before me, radioactive dust fell like flowers from the sky, and high-energy rays transformed into boundless precious light, shaking heaven and earth with a thunderous roar. Standing tall in this world, with hands in the gesture of holding up flowers to preach, it was a colossal Buddha descending from the sea of ​​light!

The giant Buddha's right hand was bent upwards into a ring shape, holding the transparent sphere I was in, while its other hand was pinching its middle finger with its thumb, its eyes lowered and silent.

here it is……

Namo Gatling Bodhisattva's Pure Land of Light?! No, this is also an incarnation of the "King of Light," why is he here?!

Whether it's the "King of Light" or Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, we're all old friends and we don't have any enemies, so why are you ignoring me like you're surrounded by enemies?

I had already woken up, but the giant Buddha behind me did not react at all. It still lowered its eyes and chanted, causing every ray of light in the world to rise and fall together, converging on the halo above my head that illuminates the three thousand worlds.

I scanned the area with a sense of unease, and suddenly noticed that the other hand of the giant Buddha, which held up a flower in the Dharma teaching mudra, did not seem to be completely joined between its two enormous, glassy fingers. Instead, an indescribable aura emanated from it.

In the tiny space between two fingers, I gradually saw a strange shadow!

Before the enormous Buddha statue, this tiny silhouette between two fingers is undeniably moving in the heavenly realm of radiant bliss, leaving a wound that can never heal!

It was an unsettling crack of light, a grey phantom shrouded in a vast veil. The shimmering, fine linen concealed its features, and its very existence. It floated in the air, untouched by the ground, unbound by physical constraints, untouched by any light.

A universe at your fingertips!

The concepts of tiny and enormous seem to have become narrow-minded. Within this phantom, I saw the ragged, gaunt figure of the "King of Light," wearing a crown of thorns—this figure was as if captured by a black hole, his fluttering, tattered yellow silk robe being drawn away and absorbed bit by bit.

Is the "Lord of Light" trapped?

wrong……

As I looked again, I saw unprecedented flares flashing in the "King of Light's" radiant eyes, cleverly forming the vast silhouette of a towering Buddha!

Is it the giant Buddha trapping the silhouette? Or has the silhouette captured the "King of Light"? Or is it the "King of Light's" pupil containing the giant Buddha?

Or is it……
