The blinding light illuminated the vast underground space that had been shrouded in darkness for ten thousand years.
The smell of decay and the sense of time's passage emerged along with the excavation of the cave.
Rows of black coffins, made of unknown materials and not yet completely decayed, stood silently in the vast space, arranged in neat rows, orderly and solemn.
Illuminated by the lights, the pure white crosses on the coffins stood out starkly against the black of the coffins, even conveying a sense of deathly sanctity.
The entire underground space is enormous and seems endless.
This seemingly endless expanse was completely filled with a sea of black coffins, adorned with pure white crosses. These coffins resembled knights of the Church, accompanying His Holiness the Pope into the endless Hell.
This scene has an exceptionally strong impact on people.
Even though the world is full of grand-scale movies and games thanks to technological advancements, and even cities built by extraterrestrial colonists are incredibly magnificent, this grand scene, which blends millennia of decay with religious Divinity, still sends chills down one's spine.
"Pale... Pale... Pale Holy See! It's the symbol of the Pale Holy See!" Professor Charles exclaimed excitedly, his white hair gleaming as he frantically tried to rush inside.
"Professor, please calm down!" Professor Jenny quickly stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and pulled him back.
Meanwhile, Superman Benny, who was also stunned by the sheer scale of the scene, finally came to his senses.
"Gurgle..."
A soft swallow escaped his throat, and a slight tingling sensation rose in his scalp.
He felt he might have exaggerated just now.
How many coffins are there in total? There's no end in sight!
With so many coffins, who knows what's hidden inside?
Even if they were all ordinary people, Benny would be beaten to a pulp if they all attacked him. What's more, none of these are simple relics from ten thousand years ago, let alone the fact that this involves the legendary religion created by the gods, the ' Pale Holy See ' that was annihilated along with the Great Hibernation of the Southern Continent. The things in this coffin are even more terrifying when you think about them!
It should be noted that even His Highness Alexander, the last Pale Holy See pope who seized power in historical records, had only a few tombs, at most comparable to those of some kings and generals.
But this place is completely different!
Now, the light shines so brightly that it can't even penetrate the dense forest of coffins, let alone the seemingly vast, pitch-black space ahead.
Moreover, whether it was the deathly silence and terror of the scene before him, or the unseen Pressure sent chills down his spine, Benny's feelings were completely different as the wall opened!
He even stood at the cave entrance, hesitant to take a single step forward.
"Whoosh!" The drone flew past Benny's forehead.
"Awooo!" So abruptly, Benny, who was already intimidated, let out a loud scream and jumped back five meters.
Feeling the sudden barrage of gazes from those around him, Benny quickly realized what was happening.
A burning sensation spread across his face, fueling Benny's inner resentment. He then coughed and said:
"Ahem, seeing that you're all so engrossed in your thoughts, I have to interrupt you."
What, are you too intimidated by this scene to go inside?
Hmph! Don't be afraid, follow me. I want to see what's hidden inside!
Having said that, in order to truly salvage his reputation and to echo his words, Benny had no choice but to bite the bullet, take the lead, and prepare to activate his armor's flight mode at any moment before going inside.
This performance finally dispelled everyone's doubts.
Then a chorus of praise followed.
"As expected of Benny, as expected of an S-class warrior, truly skilled and daring!"
"It has to be Benny! Let's go, guys, Benny's leading the way!"
"Fast forward, Jenny, turn on the camera and record everything around us! This is extremely valuable research data!"
"It's been open for a while, Professor. This scientific expedition is to be broadcast live to the higher-ups."
As Benny advanced, the group finally followed behind him, with the AI robot as the outermost guard and the soldiers as the innermost guard, and stepped into the cave.
It must be said that technological advancements have indeed brought many benefits.
For example, the nano-clothing these people are wearing now has a simple life support system, so there's no need to worry about the air quality inside.
