Peeking

Lu Yuanming carefully placed the gray light cluster onto a Masterpiece Full Body Armor.

This full body armor was manufactured by the staff operating the Large Lathe, which Lu Yuanming had created using Colorless Light Particles. They had made it according to his current physique. The armor consisted of over a hundred components of varying sizes. In the future, as his height continued to increase, he could replace some of these components to adjust the armor's size. It could be considered Cold Weapon Armor created with the support of modern technology.

This was a choice born of necessity.

Scientific technologies beyond Chemistry and Electric Energy were confirmed to be ineffective in this Dark Matter World. This meant that neither vehicles nor modern firearms could be used. The firearms currently possessed by the team could still be used, but only thanks to Lu Yuanming's Colorless Light Particles.

Unless a substitute for Gunpowder could be found among the special products of the Dark Matter World, the scale of firearm usage would always be limited, existing only as the organization's trump card. Currently, the newly recruited army basically incorporated Cold Weapon Training into their daily drills.

After Lu Yuanming confirmed that the gray light cluster could "Enchant" certain equipment, his first thought was to create a suit of armor. This full body armor was his test subject.

As the gray light cluster was placed on the full body armor by Lu Yuanming, a peculiar reaction began to occur. Lu Yuanming's eyes widened as he watched the gray light cluster spread like liquid to every part of the armor. Before he could react, the gray light cluster suddenly expanded, engulfing him within its gray radiance.

Lu Yuanming had remained vigilant. The moment he was engulfed by the gray light, his muscles tensed, and he violently recoiled, instantly escaping the range of the gray light and crashing into a Sedan behind him.

"?"

Lu Yuanming's eyes widened as he looked around. The area was filled with people. He was standing in the middle of a main road, with a Sedan behind him whose door had been dented by his impact. Yet, no one paid any attention. The owner of the Sedan had already abandoned the vehicle and fled. The surrounding crowd was in a panic, fleeing in all directions. No one seemed to notice him, a Giant nearly two meters tall, who had suddenly appeared.

Because a war was unfolding directly in front of him.

A large number of Worm-shaped Spaceships were descending from the sky. Aliens emerged from these ships, equipped with Personal Flight Devices. They were firing Energy Weapons indiscriminately at all living beings and buildings around them. Many tall buildings were directly blasted apart and collapsed. On the ground, Human armies were firing back, and weapons similar to FGM-148 anti-tank missiles were continuously bombarding the enemy. There were also Fighter Jets battling the Worm-shaped Spaceships.

Compared to all this, Lu Yuanming's appearance was truly insignificant.

"What's going on!?"

Lu Yuanming was stunned. One second he was in the Base manufacturing weapons, and the next he was on this terrifying battlefield. Moreover, there was a Blue Sky and White Clouds here, clearly not the Dark Matter World, but the real Living World... Had he transmigrated again!?

Just then, an Alien flew by in the sky nearby. It seemed to have spotted Lu Yuanming... He was too conspicuous, standing at nearly two meters forty, he towered over the crowd. So, the Alien casually fired an Energy Weapon towards Lu Yuanming.

As the Alien aimed, Lu Yuanming's skin crawled. In his senses, everything around him slowed down. In his eyes, the Alien looked at him, its Helmet began to glow red, then the Alien's hand pressed down on the Energy Weapon, and the muzzle of the Energy Weapon began to charge...

At the critical moment, Lu Yuanming lunged over ten meters to his side. Behind him, a fierce firelight erupted. The shockwave and heat from the explosion spread almost brushing against Lu Yuanming's back. If he had been even a tenth of a second slower, he would have been blown to smithereens.

This was definitely not an illusion!

Lu Yuanming dared to swear on the Burn Injury on his back and the half-exposed Buttocks that this was absolutely not fake or an illusion.

He had truly transmigrated again into a brand new Living World, and this Living World was a battlefield where Aliens were invading Earth!?

Despite being filled with questions, Lu Yuanming had no time to ponder. He rolled on the ground and fell under a Bus. The Alien that had fired the Energy attack didn't even look at the explosion behind it and flew away. The explosion had engulfed everything within a ten-meter diameter. The people who had stood there were reduced to nothing, not even dust remained. Such fiery explosions were happening everywhere on the battlefield.

Lu Yuanming crawled under the Bus and looked around. He suddenly realized that the scene before him seemed strangely familiar. He felt like he had seen this scene somewhere before, a strong sense of déjà vu.

Just then, a Golden-red Robot flew overhead. Several Laser-like attacks brought down a group of Aliens. Seeing this, Lu Yuanming's face was filled with disbelief.

"The Avengers' Battle of New York!?"

Lu Yuanming cried out involuntarily. At the same time he spoke, that goosebump-inducing sensation returned. Without a second thought, Lu Yuanming rolled out from under the vehicle. But this time, it wasn't an energy attack; the bus behind him had simply vanished.

A creature made of various twisted spiders stood beside the bus. Its two forelimbs touched the bus's exterior, and the bus began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a second or two, the bus had completely disintegrated into dust.

"...There's nothing like this in the Avengers."

Lu Yuanming stared at the spider, feeling an overwhelming sense of horror.

The spider wasn't large, about three meters tall, twice the size of a normal supermarket spider, but nowhere near the size of a super giant spider. However, its appearance was incredibly terrifying. Its entire body was composed of human limbs or organs. Its limbs were assembled from finger bones, one segment after another. Its eyes were made up of dozens of human eyeballs. Its skin was composed of human faces, and its body was made of human muscles.

It was a monster that looked utterly grotesque and terrifying just to behold!

After Lu Yuanming rolled out from under the vehicle, the spider didn't hesitate and lunged directly at him, its forelimbs reaching out to stab him. Having witnessed how the bus had rotted and disappeared, Lu Yuanming didn't dare let the spider get close. He immediately rolled forward and ran, trying to put distance between himself and the twisted spider. The spider seemed to have fixated on him, chasing him relentlessly. Fortunately, the spider's crawling speed wasn't fast. Its limbs, entirely composed of human hand bones, seemed to have uneven weight distribution, which gave Lu Yuanming an opportunity to gradually increase the distance between them.

This was also thanks to Lu Yuanming's current physical condition. After his soul grew again, his hundred-meter speed was now around seven seconds. This was a very strange thing; as his body grew larger and stronger, his agility and speed had actually increased. So, despite his tall stature, he wasn't slow at all and was incredibly agile. Once he started running, the twisted spider's distance from him began to widen. After running through a block, Lu Yuanming had already put at least five hundred meters between himself and the twisted spider.

Lu Yuanming was running away from the battlefield. That battlefield was too terrifying. The movies only showed the Avengers beating up aliens, but in reality, these aliens were incredibly powerful. A single attack could annihilate everything within a ten-meter radius. And if the bug-shaped spaceship unleashed an energy attack, an entire building would be cut in half. Lu Yuanming truly didn't dare to get close to such a battlefield.

Just as Lu Yuanming was planning to escape from a distance, he suddenly saw a thick fog ahead. The fog blocked the street entrance in front of him. As Lu Yuanming got closer to the street entrance, the fog showed no signs of thinning. He couldn't see anything beyond the fog at all. The closer he got to the fog, the greater the sense of dread that arose in Lu Yuanming's heart.

Do not enter, do not enter, do not enter...

When he was about five meters away from the fog, Lu Yuanming couldn't help but tremble all over. His instincts screamed at him to get away immediately, to absolutely not touch or enter the fog. There was a great terror within, a terror beyond his imagination.

This instinct was so direct, as if a voice was speaking directly in his mind. This made Lu Yuanming subconsciously start to move away from the fog. Just as he was backing away, the fog suddenly churned, and a giant bluish-gray claw extended from the fog, sweeping out. It narrowly missed Lu Yuanming's body, missing him by a hair's breadth. Lu Yuanming would have been caught directly by this giant claw.

The moment the giant claw brushed past Lu Yuanming's vision, he felt his heart pound intensely. All surrounding sounds disappeared. The giant claw's speed seemed incredibly slow, brushing past him inch by inch. But this was merely an illusion. Because as the giant claw moved, everything around Lu Yuanming seemed to have frozen. This scene was merely Lu Yuanming entering a bullet time state, or rather, a death replay state, under extreme duress of facing death!

In this state, Lu Yuanming watched the claw sweep past him. He saw many details of the claw. Its color was bluish-gray. Its material was definitely not flesh and blood, nor metal, nor iron, nor chitin or cuticle. It was a material that Lu Yuanming couldn't comprehend. The surface of the claw was covered with various twisted symbols and graphics. These symbols and graphics seemed alive, constantly changing and twisting. And although Lu Yuanming had seen them, he couldn't understand them, nor could he remember them. As long as he wasn't looking, the memory of the symbols and graphics he had just seen would disappear...

The claw swept past and retracted back into the fog. The moment the claw retracted into the fog, a minuscule corner of the fog was lifted. Through this corner, Lu Yuanming saw countless monsters. They were grotesque, roaring, terrifying, incomprehensible, unnamable...

Lu Yuanming felt his eyes ache intensely, his ears roar. His brain seemed to be stirred into a pulp by an incomprehensible force, causing him to fall to his knees in pain. Blood seeped from his ears, nose, and eyes. What Lu Yuanming didn't see was that as soon as this blood left his body, it immediately became active. Each drop of blood seemed to transform into some kind of living, weird life, scrambling to re-enter his body.

Also, without Lu Yuanming's knowledge, the colorless light particles floating around him suddenly fell into his body one by one. With each particle that fell, the image of the giant hand and the monsters behind the fog in Lu Yuanming's mind faded a little. In a short period, more than twenty colorless light particles merged into his body. At this point, the images of the giant hand and the monsters in Lu Yuanming's mind had completely distorted.

This was akin to dreaming.

When people dream, they often dream of things they find terrifying, funny, or incredibly powerful. But once they wake up, this feeling quickly fades. Even if they still remember, the feeling from the dream is gone.

This was exactly how Lu Yuanming felt now. He still remembered the giant hand, and he still remembered the monsters behind the fog, but he no longer had that feeling from just now.

Only then did Lu Yuanming completely emerge from his pain. He straightened up from his crouched position and wiped his face with his palm. His palm was covered in blood. He casually flicked the blood from his palm and, not daring to look at the fog again, turned his back and looked towards the street he had come from. At the end of the street, the twisted spider had already appeared.

This twisted spider was originally an extremely grotesque and terrifying monster, but now, in Lu Yuanming's eyes, it evoked no fear at all. Compared to the giant hand and the monsters behind the fog, this spider was simply a harmless little bug.

(I know what the gray light cluster is now. It's a fragment of human civilization essence, and this spider is a distortion produced when fragments of civilization essence fall into the dark matter world. As for the giant hand, those monsters...)

(They are the true monsters of the Dark Matter World, they do not originate from our Human Civility itself!)

At this moment, Lu Yuanming saw an incredibly dark and terrifying corner of the Dark Matter World.

Countless monsters, as large as mountains, as large as stars, the Unnamable lurked in the depths of the Dark Matter wilderness. The moment Human Civility fell from the Material Universe, it was the moment they would pounce and feast...

Lu Yuanming took a deep breath, then strode towards the Twisted Spider, his speed increasing. Then he leaped more than four meters high, dodging the Twisted Spider's stabbing forelimbs, and lunged directly at the Twisted Spider's body.

Fists, claws, teeth.

At this moment, Lu Yuanming seemed to have lost all reason, tearing and beating the Twisted Spider with all his attacks. He paid no mind to the Twisted Spider's hideous terror, nor did he care about any of its counterattacks.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuanming stood up from a pile of mush. Everything around him began to crack and crumble. When Lu Yuanming came to his senses, he was already back in the Base, and the full-body armor in front of him had actually disintegrated.

Then, as Lu Yuanming willed it, a golden-red full-body armor enveloped his body. At the same time, the name of this armor naturally appeared in his mind.

Armor!
