The red beam appeared without warning, but the moment it emerged, it swept up violent waves of energy and shot straight toward the dome's wall of light.
Fortunately, the wall of light was highly resilient. Though the red beam struck the dome's ceiling, it failed to pierce through it and was instead bounced back.
In the blink of an eye, the red beam began ricocheting wildly beneath the dome.
As the red beam ran rampant, many small and medium-sized experimental tools sprouted arms and legs, scrambling frantically to dodge and avoid being caught in its path.
Those experimental tools managed to evade it, but larger equipment such as workbenches suffered disaster after disaster. Even without being struck directly, they developed obvious cracks merely from the energy's spillover.
This showed just how powerful that red beam was.
Amid the chaos, Angel remained unmoved. It was not that he disregarded the red beam's threat, but that calculations showed it could not ricochet to his position anytime soon. Besides, in Angel's view, this was Boiling Gentleman's territory. He could not possibly allow the red beam to wreak havoc unchecked, so there was no need for excessive concern.
Angel had not been wrong. Boiling Gentleman indeed could not allow the laboratory to be destroyed. Yet what Angel had not expected was that the one who ultimately subdued the red beam was not Boiling Gentleman, but Spotty Dog.
After ricocheting repeatedly, the red beam suddenly shot toward Zhen's Birdcage. Spotty Dog happened to be nearby. Seeing the red beam bearing down on it, it opened its mouth and swallowed the beam whole.
That terrifying beam, brimming with destructive power, entered Spotty Dog's belly like a spark drifting into water, extinguishing and vanishing in an instant.
Not only did it fail to affect Spotty Dog in
