The huge black pyramid towers majestically above the golden sand sea. Its dull surface swallows up the sunlight and casts a suffocating shadow. The illuminated geometric patterns on the surface are like resurrected nerve bundles, flowing with a glimmer of cold and dead energy, firmly locked on the tiny humanoid existence hundreds of kilometers away that exudes terrifying energy.

Invisible scanning waves swept over Xiao Han, with an inanimate and programmed analysis intention, trying to analyze his energy composition, life form, and threat level. This feeling of being examined as an "object" instantly ignited all the anger and impatience accumulated in Xiao Han's heart.

He hates being observed, hates being analyzed, and even more hates these endless old rags crawling out of the ground disturbing his purity!

Not even a trace of hesitation.

The moment the scanning wave touched his body--

Xiao Han moved.

It was not an instant movement, but the ultimate expression of pure physical speed! The sand dune beneath his feet exploded into a huge crater, and his body turned into a blur that tore apart the space. Hundreds of kilometers were as close as a stone's throw beneath his feet!

Within a thousandth of a second, he had appeared directly in front of the huge pyramid!

There is no testing and no communication.

The right fist is pulled back simply and directly, and then punched out!

The movement was simple and unpretentious, but it contained the absolute power that could shatter stars! The space in front of his fist was instantly compressed, distorted, and even shattered! A ring-shaped white shock wave cloud visible to the naked eye exploded in front of his fist!

Boom!!!!!!!!!

It's not an explosion, but something deeper and more terrifying, the ultimate cry when the material structure is forcibly torn apart by absolute force, Oblivion!

The huge, seemingly indestructible black pyramid of unknown material, the front area in contact with Xiao Han's fist, disappeared instantly like an ice cube thrown into a steel-making furnace! It was not shattered or collapsed, but completely disintegrated from the atomic level!

An extremely huge circular gap with smooth edges like a mirror instantly penetrated the base of the pyramid and spread crazily toward the depths!

The interior of the pyramid is not a cavity, but is filled with countless extremely complex and still functioning precision crystal structures and energy conduits. At this moment, under the impact of incomprehensible force, these structures are like being run over by an invisible giant, and they are silent in pieces Oblivion!

Those illuminated geometric patterns flashed crazily, trying to stimulate some kind of defense mechanism or counterattack system, but in the face of that absolute torrent of power, any form of energy barrier or space distortion was like paper, torn, penetrated, and destroyed in an instant!

Xiao Han's fist moved forward relentlessly, pushing his body forward, like a red-hot iron penetrating butter, directly entering from the front of the pyramid, and then piercing out from the back!

Boom!!!

It wasn't until he completely penetrated the pyramid and appeared behind it that the belated loud noise of complete structural collapse suddenly erupted!

The huge black pyramid lit up countless spots of destruction from the inside, then collapsed inward as a whole, and then uncontrollable energy spurted out from countless cracks, and finally turned into a terrifying energy storm that swept the world, mixed with completely crushed material fragments, rising into the sky!

A mushroom cloud mixed with black dust and destructive energy rose slowly over the desert.

The shock wave spread wildly outward in a circular shape, completely flattening and vitrifying sand dunes for hundreds of miles!

Xiao Han was suspended in the center of the explosive storm, with an invisible force field exuding all over his body, repelling all the energy and debris that rushed towards him, Oblivion. He looked at the destructive fireworks indifferently, with no wave in his eyes, as if he had just smashed an eye-catching stone casually.

Noise sources, removed.

However, at that moment when the pyramid was completely destroyed and the energy storm began to weaken -

An extremely weak but extremely clear "information flow" seemed to escape from a broken node at the core of the pyramid, not through energy waves, but directly acting on the space itself. Like the last sigh, it spread instantly, penetrated the energy storm, and also penetrated Xiao Han's protective force field, directly reflecting into the depths of his consciousness.

It was no longer the vague emotional imprint before, but a relatively complete, cold, and automated message:

[Warning: Watcher Array-The seventh outpost has been completely destroyed.]

[Final identification: Abnormal individual energy characteristics have been recorded.]

[Information uploaded to... main network... lost contact...]

[Execute final protocol: Broadcast... alarm coordinates to all still operating...'Inheritors' units...]

[Message content: 'Wraith' has been awakened... the silence is no longer...]

The information stopped abruptly, like a kite with its string cut off, disappearing completely.

The destructive energy storm also gradually subsided, leaving only a huge, molten vitrified crater, and thick dust and energy residue that filled the air.

The desert became "quiet" again, with only the strange whimpering sound of the wind blowing across the glassy surface.

But Xiao Han was suspended in the air, his face even more gloomy and ugly than before.

Did he get it? Not entirely. The terms—"Watcher Array," "Inheritor Units," "Wraith"—meaned nothing to him.

But he captured key information: alerts, coordinates, broadcasts.

This damn piece of shit, before it was completely destroyed, actually broadcast the coordinates of this place and its energy characteristics like a distress signal?!

Broadcast?!

It's radio again!!!

He finally got rid of that damn "Leviathan Echo" and finally found this seemingly quiet corner!

As a result, now, there is another inexplicable ancient broadcast from hundreds of millions of years ago, carrying its coordinates and shooting into the unknown depths of the universe?!

A far more violent anger than before instantly swept away Xiao Han's sanity!

Why is it so difficult for him to pursue absolute silence?! Why do these bugs, whether living or dead, current or ancient, always use various methods to make noise and expose their existence?!

"Uhhhhh!!!"

He made a sound for the first time, and it was a roar that was suppressed to the extreme and finally burst out, mixed with boundless anger and irritability!

Along with the roar, the terrifying Heat Vision in his eyes erupted again, no longer condensed into a thin line, but like an out-of-control torrent, wildly shooting at the huge pit below that had become ruins!

Boom boom boom boom!!

Wherever Heat Vision went, the vitrified surface was melted and evaporated again, and the huge pit was further expanded and deepened, as if he wanted to pour all his anger on this land!

He wants to destroy everything! Destroy this planet that keeps causing him trouble! Destroy everything that might receive that damn broadcast!

The crazy destruction lasted for nearly a minute, and he barely stopped until the ground under his feet was completely transformed into a sea of rolling, hot magma.

He was panting (not because of exhaustion, but because of the extreme mood swings), suspended above the magma sea. The red light in his eyes gradually faded, but the cold anger that wanted to destroy everything still lingered.

He looked at the land destroyed by his own hands and the magma that was still bubbling. He didn't feel any pity or regret in his heart, only an extremely unpleasant and irritable feeling that things were out of control.

The coordinates have been broadcast.

This means that before long, there may be more and weirder "bugs" attracted by this ancient signal and come to this damn galaxy!

It's no longer quiet here.

He needs to leave again.

This thought made him feel extremely bored and irritable.

He raised his head and looked at the boundless starry sky again. Super-Senses began to search again with unprecedented and angry efficiency.

This time, his standards have become even more extreme: not only no intelligent civilization, but preferably no ancient ruins, abnormal space structures, or even slightly active star systems of any kind!

He wants to find someone who truly has nothing, is extremely silent, and doesn't even bother to let the dust of the universe drift by -

Knowhere.

And in the depths of the universe that he could not see, the last broadcast signal sent by the ancient outpost was penetrating Nebula at a speed exceeding the speed of light, passing through the galaxy, and spreading towards some extremely distant and extremely secret coordinate points.

Some "Inheritor Units" sleeping deep in the sea of stars, whose shapes are completely different from the black pyramid, but whose core lines are vaguely similar, have internal indicator lights that begin to change from dark to bright...

Wraith's tombstone has been erected, and what it summons may be an even older nightmare.

Xiao Han's journey to find peace seems to be trapped in a vicious cycle where the more he struggles, the more noisy he becomes.

The storm never stops.
