Base

Reke shook his head in disappointment; he had not found what he needed within the murals.

Glancing at the group, he stated, "Those with an energy reading below 8,000 need not follow."

Seeing Reke walking further and further away, the six-armed man asked, "Leader, what should we do? Should we follow him?"

"You idiot, didn't you hear what he just said? Or do you have 8,000?" the busty woman retorted sarcastically.

"Poison Scorpion, you two go up; I'll follow and take a look," the middle-aged man said after some thought.

"Leader, if we go, we go together," the six-armed man refused to accept.

"If you don't want to go up, then wait for me here," the middle-aged man did not force him.

The busty woman remained silent; she certainly wouldn't go up alone, as who knew what the situation would be like once they exited.

It was better to wait for the others to leave together.

Following Reke's warning, those with an energy reading of 8,000 did not hesitate and followed directly behind Reke.

As for the others below 8,000, some stayed behind, while some who refused to believe it secretly followed behind Reke.

Including the three with 8,000 energy readings, a total of ten people headed toward the sixth barrier.

The sixth space was completely different from the previous ones. After Reke entered, there was nothing there, until the ten people behind him also entered and everyone began looking for other passages together.

An electronic voice rang out.

"Congratulations on passing the previous levels and reaching the destination."

"To enter G5 Base, you must defeat the upcoming opponents."

"The level adopts one-on-one combat, and opponents will be arranged based on your energy readings."

"Those detected with substandard energy readings will now be erased."

"Boom—"

Seven energy waves appeared from above, heading toward the seven people with combat power below 8,000, instantly annihilating them.

Except for Reke, who could clearly see what happened, the other three only heard a loud noise beside them, and the seven people vanished, leaving behind seven deep craters in the ground.

Although Reke could have saved them, he did not move.

He had warned them long ago; if they were looking for death, Reke did not want to care. They were all adults and had to pay for their own actions.

"Detected that unqualified individuals have been destroyed; combat now begins."

The ground ten meters in front of Reke and the others split open, and a robot appeared in front of each person.

The robots encountered by the middle-aged man and the other two were the same as the one Reke destroyed in the fifth space; one could tell they were of the same type, only with different combat power.

However, the one that appeared in front of Reke was completely different. At first glance, it looked just like a real person, about 1.7 meters tall, wearing white clothes, with an ornament hanging around its neck and a hollow cavity in its chest.

The moment its eyes opened, it vanished, reappearing beside Reke with a whistling side kick.

Reke became interested. Although the opponent was a robot and he could not sense any aura, based on its speed just now, Reke judged it to be no less than 100,000 combat power.

Reke lifted his arm slightly, blocking the opponent's attack.

"Thud—"

A shockwave generated from the point of their collision, blowing away the people and robots not far from them, causing them to land heavily on the ground.

"What is this?" A bald, burly man landed on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and exclaimed.

"Bang bang bang bang—"

Reke and the robot moved and collided continuously. A robot that was unlucky enough to be directly beneath their collision was instantly obliterated by the two of them.

This scene was also seen by the other three. Ignoring the injuries in their bodies, they spat blood while running toward the barrier; they dared not stay here and wanted to run back to the fifth space.

As for the remaining two robots, because they were damaged by the shockwave, the circuits inside them disconnected, causing malfunctions, and they lay on the ground motionless.

"What's going on? Why can't we get out?"

The middle-aged man's hand pressed against the barrier, which felt like touching steel, blocking them firmly.

"Damn it, what is this situation?"

The bald man clenched his fists and struck the barrier, only to find that he could not shake this thin layer of barrier at all.

"Don't waste your energy; we can't get out until the battle ends. Go over there." The remaining person was an old woman, and she pointed to a corner of the space.

Seeing that the battle between Reke and the other party was becoming increasingly intense, the three dared not delay and hurried toward the corner.

If you were to ask how they knew the state of the battle when they couldn't even see clearly—

Of course, it was because the giant craters on the ground were increasing, and the sound of the two colliding was becoming more and more frequent.

Reke's speed was constantly increasing; he was testing to see the collective combat power of this robot.

Now that the test was almost complete, the robot's speed had reached its limit, roughly 120,000 combat power, which was about the same as the aura he had released earlier.

It was still enough to play around with Reke. Reke's tail hooked the opponent's arm, and he kicked the robot in the stomach, sending it flying and smashing heavily into the wall.

Stone chips flew, kicking up clouds of dust, and the robot's figure was obscured.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Before the dust had even settled, a barrage of energy projectiles tore through the haze, heading straight for Reke.

Seeing this, Reke furrowed his brows. It was not that he feared injury, but the space here was too confined; if he allowed the energy projectiles to detonate, the chamber would soon collapse, and he would be buried deep underground.

With this thought, Reke shrouded his palms in aura and swiped at the incoming projectiles.

As his arms swept through the air, one energy projectile after another was swatted away, dissipating into nothingness.

With a flicker of his figure, Reke appeared before the robot, grabbed it by the hair, and slammed it into the ground.

"Bang!"

A deep crater formed in the floor. Reke did not stop; he grabbed the robot's hair again and hurled it into the air. Before it could reach its apex, Reke followed in pursuit, appearing directly above the machine.

He clasped his hands together and raised them high, waiting for the target to reach him before swinging down with all his might to smash its head.

"Zzzzt—"

The robot's head vanished, leaving only severed wires visible at the neck.

Having dealt with the robot, Reke landed slowly.

After waiting a moment and finding that the electronic voice from earlier failed to appear, Reke first glanced at the two robots on the ground, then shifted his gaze to the three people huddled together in the corner.

"Hey, whose opponents are these? Hurry up and finish them off."

As Reke's voice rang out, the three people, who had been huddled together with their eyes closed in prayer, snapped their eyes open.

They stared at Reke in terror.

Looking at the three terrified individuals, Reke, feeling physically refreshed from the recent activity, did not get angry. He pointed at the robots and spoke again, "Hurry up."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The three of them, unable to even savor the joy of their narrow escape, scrambled to follow Reke's instructions and dispose of the robots.

"Congratulations, you have passed the final stage. You may proceed to the base on your own."

In the center of the room, the floor slowly split open, revealing a hole about ten meters wide.

What Reke did not know was that the moment the hole appeared, an invisible ripple emanated outward, instantly spreading across the entire planet, causing changes to begin in various corners of the world.
