Shen Heng stared uncertainly at the Distortion doorway.
Although it looks like it, it's ultimately impossible to be sure, since this door is quite different from other Light Gate.
Furthermore, why turn the entrance to the palace into a teleportation portal?
After a moment's hesitation, Shen Heng raised his hand, and the concave triangular bone embedded in the bracelet glowed slightly.
The storage space was developed by the Research Department, using the residual materials from the Seventh Tier Darkwing Heavenly Spine Beast that appeared on Blue Star a few years ago.
Due to the scarcity of materials and the fact that it was no longer available, only thirty-two were ever made.
A portion of them were distributed, another portion was placed in the Martial World Easy Exchange for the vast majority of people to pursue, and the remainder was reserved as strategic resources.
The document in Shen Heng's hand was issued by the General Administration.
His mental energy swept across the space, which was roughly the size of half a football field.
The next instant, Shen Heng felt a weight in his hand as a piece of Calamity Beast appeared.
Then he lifted it up and threw it.
The thrown-out Calamity Beast vanished instantly upon touching the Distortion Barrier, disappearing without a trace.
Is it really a portal?
Shen Heng frowned slightly as he stared at the Distortion door.
He didn't know where the portal led, nor did he have time to figure it out. What he needed to think about now was how to destroy this place.
If it were an ordinary building, he could simply find a strategic location, set the countdown timer on the nuclear bomb, and place it there.
But now...
His slightly serious gaze swept across the entire palace.
With its relatively limited energy, even if it could damage the palace, its effect would likely be quite limited.
Or should we just throw it in?
With a thoughtful expression, Shen Heng looked at the Distortion doorway once more.
Throwing it in might cause the space inside the palace to collapse directly; or it might cause the space inside the palace to explode, and then remain stable without any damage!
The final result...
Perhaps I'd lean more towards the second one?
Shen Heng lowered his head, his brows furrowed in deep thought.
One message after another flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, a voice rang in my ears.
"Captain, the Bronze Skull Beast has returned!"
Shen Heng was slightly taken aback, and glanced at the distant horizon.
Aside from the patrolling Calamity Beast, no Bronze Skull Beast were seen, which was normal, given they had been dragged so far away. However...
Somewhat surprised, Shen Heng asked:
Why did it suddenly come back?
"They must have realized I wasn't actually Sixth Tier based on how fast I retreated, and that something was wrong, so they rushed back first!" Qin Yu's voice echoed back.
Shen Heng nodded slightly, as if in a moment of realization.
No wonder the Bronze Skull Beast was assigned to guard such a place...
Qin Yu's guilty voice rang in his ears.
"Captain, I'm sorry, I didn't act well. Otherwise, the Bronze Skull Beast wouldn't have returned so quickly!"
"It's alright. Even if the Bronze Skull Beast doesn't return, I'm still preparing to evacuate." Shen Heng said, glancing at the ground diagonally below.
The gaze seemed to penetrate the earth's strata, revealing the Calamity Beast on the other side of the mountain.
The voice of the Calamity Beast came from beside them, first with some doubt, then quickly evolving into fear and anger.
The next moment, one after another, the Calamity Beast rushed frantically towards the mountaintop.
"Are you sure it won't have any impact?" Qin Yu asked in a low voice.
"Well, you're not hurt, are you?" Shen Heng asked.
"No, no!" Qin Yu replied.
"That's good!"
Shen Heng nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the Distortion doorway.
"In that case, Captain, I'll go over there first and get ready to meet you!" Qin Yu said.
"Um."
Shen Heng responded, his gaze lingering on the door.
After pausing, he let out a soft breath, raised his hand, and took the nuclear bomb out of his storage space.
I did a few simple steps.
The timer on the nuclear bomb began displaying the corresponding countdown.
15, 14, 13...
Shen Heng did not leave, but stood there beside the nuclear bomb, gazing at the door.
If he remembered correctly, traversing this kind of space didn't mean being in one place one second and another the next.
There is a process of shuttling between them.
While it's uncertain whether this process can be destroyed, it seems to be the only option with a relatively high success rate at present.
Shen Heng waited on the side, and only moved when the countdown reached three seconds.
Raise your hand and pat gently.
The massive nuclear bomb flew straight toward the Distortion doorway.
Almost the instant the nuclear bomb was launched, Shen Heng's figure quickly disappeared backward.
The scenery rushed past on both sides, and Shen Heng's eyes were fixed on the nuclear bomb.
Under his watchful eye, the nuclear bomb rapidly approached the door and ultimately... penetrated it.
Shen Heng's gaze suddenly stopped, and he stared at that spot in a daze.
In view, a small portion of the nuclear warhead had already entered the doorway, but the latter half was stuck and no longer advancing, as if some force was preventing it from going in.
And then, in the next moment, it began to retreat rapidly outwards.
Wait, what the heck? When they threw in the Calamity Beast earlier, it was fine to go in, right? Why is there a problem now? Is it... that it detected the nuclear bomb as harmful, so it won't let us in? This palace has that function?
One thought after another flashed through Shen Heng's mind.
He wanted to do something, but then realized he couldn't seem to do anything.
Even if he got there now, it would be too late to send the nuclear bomb back in. After all, when he dropped the bomb, the countdown already had only three seconds left, and now...
Suddenly, Shen Heng's gaze paused again.
He was looking there.
Within the Distortion doorway, a tentacle seemed to appear faintly.
The tentacles bound the nuclear bomb stuck in mid-air and... pulled it inside!
A question flashed in Shen Heng's eyes, but he hadn't yet figured it out.
The next moment.
"Buzz--"
A trembling sound rang out.
The world exploded and opened up before Shen Heng's eyes!
At the foot of the mountain.
The Barbarian Bear was leading the remaining Calamity Beast, frantically rushing upwards.
It truly hadn't expected that these humans would be so despicable, tricking the Bronze Skull Beast out only to then trick it as well.
Moreover, this method...
It's that human, isn't it? It's that human, isn't it?! It's that human, isn't it!!!
Yes, it must be the human that Lord Lion King and the others were warning about, otherwise they wouldn't have used this method...
"Buzz--"
A trembling sound suddenly rang out.
The Barbarian Bear's figure surged upwards due to inertia, its gaze fixed blankly on the sky.
What is this...?
It looked up, somewhat puzzled.
There, something that reflected the scenery like the surface of water rapidly magnified...
