Chapter 2112 - 1620: Mission (First Update)
Soon, the Creator-Swallower, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, directly drilled into the damaged wall.
Su Mo and the others stood quietly in place, waiting, without anyone making a sound, and the atmosphere felt very heavy.
Minutes later, the dim corridor suddenly lit up with one spotlight after another.
At the same time, the entire base’s life-support systems began operating again.
Kathuler and the others were very pleased. Clearly, the Creator-Swallower had succeeded and already gained control of the base.

"Open all gates leading to the central control room."
The old man hoarsely issued an order to Xiao Shi.
Gates in the distance of the passageway started rising one by one.
Immediately following, the Creator-Swallower emerged from the wall crack and reported in a deep voice.
"It’s done."
"Let’s go, guide us to the central control."
The old man issued a simple command.
"No problem."
The Creator-Swallower floated forward first.
The crowd then followed Xiao Shi, heading towards the central control.
Half an hour later, everyone reached the VI-type planet-level fortress, God’s Forbidden Zone’s central control room smoothly.
Su Mo turned his head to observe the surroundings. God’s Forbidden Zone’s central control room was unlike a conventional fortress control room, filled with various mechanical pillars, with a multitude of circuits clustered on them.
In the very center area, there was a massive central device. The device’s interior, if without any accidents, should be the original container for the artificial intelligence, God’s Eye.
The old man hoarsely spoke to the Creator-Swallower: "You take over the fortress’s control."
"No problem!"
The Creator-Swallower floated over directly and sank into the central device.
In an instant, all equipment in the central control room resumed operation.
Su Mo and the others gasped.
"Have you found what I was looking for?"
The old man asked Xiao Shi in a low voice.
"The entire base database has already been deleted. I roughly searched through the base’s cameras everywhere, but did not find what you’re looking for."
The Creator-Swallower gave a rather disappointing response.
Although the group didn’t know what the old man was looking for, they could speculate it seemed hard to find.
The old man, upon hearing Xiao Shi’s words, remained silent for a few seconds before speaking.
"Display the entire fortress’s internal structure map."
"Yes!"
The Creator-Swallower immediately displayed the complex internal structure map of the planet-level fortress, God’s Forbidden Zone, beyond everyone’s imagination.
Its densely divided regions made it dizzying to look.
However, from the structure map, it showed the base was initially designed to accommodate a large number of normal beings.
Thus, the facilities were quite complete.
The old man looked at the displayed structure map and hoarsely issued orders to Su Mo and the others.
"Everyone search, don’t leave any corner unchecked."
Coret and the others, upon hearing the old man’s orders, responded immediately.
"Yes!"
However, they promptly asked, "Sir, exactly what are we looking for?"
"No need to ask what you’re looking for. If you can find it, when you see it, you’ll naturally know it’s the thing!"
The old man didn’t reveal his intentions, he simply issued a cold order.
"Understood."
The crowd replied one after another.
Coret and the others then turned and left, beginning the search throughout the base.
Su Mo also didn’t linger; he led Sun Duoxiang and Kendi and others away from the central control room.
Only the old man and Anason were left in the central control room.
The old man quietly watched the various area surveillance images, personally supervising the search efforts.
In the corridor, Sun Duoxiang looked left and right, curiously asking Su Mo.
"Boss, what do you think we’re really looking for? It’s so mysterious."
"You ask me, and who do I ask? I don’t know what we’re looking for either. My mentor never told me."
"Boss, do you think there’s a possibility that your mentor is looking for a treasure trove, similar to the Eternal Sleep Clan’s treasury we took out before?"
"Alright, stop with the nonsense, hurry up and search!"
Su Mo replied irritably, but on the other hand, he didn’t think the old man was searching for a treasure trove.
The old man himself had vast wealth, and most importantly, he wasn’t very driven by riches.
"Okay, boss, don’t worry. Finding things is our expertise, we’ll definitely find them before anyone else."
Sun Duoxiang said confidently.

Negative God Star, Star Ring City, Divine Grace Square.
Icaroya stood atop a high platform.
Commander Lorrek, Commander Ezaloga, Commander Kelas, Commander Nan Qi and all the NCOs were gathered in attendance.
The vast Divine Grace Square was filled with a sea of heads.
Everyone’s expressions were tense, standing very straight.
Icaroya coldly addressed the crowd: "From this moment, the area we’ve occupied will serve as our temporary base camp, with Star Ring City stationed here. From now on, I formally announce the start of the Twilight of the Gods plan!"
"Yes!"
The entire square, each NCO solemnly responded.
With a wave of Icaroya’s hand, a giant virtual image appeared in the Divine Grace Square, displaying rows of neatly arranged giant equipment containers, each equipped with specially made drills.
Following that, all the NCOs’ electronic bracelets vibrated.
Everyone received a confidential message.
Numerous NCOs opened and read the messages.
Among the crowd, Krisia also opened it quietly and took a glance; it was a coordinate information.
The coordinates marked a location on Negative God Star, with the starting point set as Star Ring City’s current location.
Once the NCOs finished reading the message, they closed it and silently awaited Icaroya.
Icaroya scanned the crowd with a cold gaze and spoke in a stern voice.
"For the first phase of the plan, every team carries the equipped devices to the target area, deploy the devices down there, and send personnel to successfully report back; the task is considered complete. Remember my words, this mission is vital; even if it costs your life, you must fulfill the task. No retreat or excuses will be accepted, understood?"
"Understood!"
Every person present replied loudly.
"To ensure successful mission feedback, all mission execution teams will be accompanied by an additional supervision team. If unfortunate events lead to the execution team’s total destruction during the mission, the supervision team will provide the feedback. If the supervision team also perishes, with no information returned to Star Ring City, Star Ring City will send another execution team..."
Icaroya succinctly explained to everyone.
The many NCOs present listened intently to each detail with a serious expression.
