Light Fortress

These words are even more contradictory.

Human civilization is now disintegrating.

And the one who facilitated this phenomenon is precisely the Deep Sea.

But according to its words... it actually prevented another kind of "collapse."

The reason for this phenomenon.

Is because of the "ultimate goal" it believes in, allowing the flame of human civilization to be preserved. Once the Heavenly Sheath Strike is released, it will be very difficult for the fire of human civilization to be preserved, and the Central Continent Transcendents will become eternal enemies with the Three Continents Alliance.

"For the long-term development of human civilization, I have always advocated ’peace.’

"—Even until this moment."

Deep Sea said gently: "So... I hope you can persuade the Three Continents Alliance to stop this war. I can let the Traveler Tribe withdraw the attack and let the Five Continents return to peace."

Gu Shen stared at the man in front of him, confirming he wasn’t joking.

"Gu Castle has already collapsed, and now you talk about peace?"

He didn’t believe that the cluster of Source Material Storm was a coincidence, an accident.

"Gu Castle’s collapse is inevitable."

Deep Sea said softly: "When the Source Material Storm arrives in the future, Gu Castle will collapse the same way."

"What about the dead?"

Gu Shen’s voice was filled with anger.

"Three thousand seven hundred defenders, all buried under the attack of the Source Material Storm! Are their deaths inevitable too?!"

The voice responding to his anger was very calm.

And justifiably so.

Deep Sea didn’t hesitate even for a second, lightly responded with two words.

"Of course."

For a moment Gu Shen had nothing to say.

"Gu Castle Fortress is located at the protruding point of the northern frontier, a crucial throat area... The geographical position of this fortress determines that it will be the first to be sacrificed, and the Transcendents stationed here are destined to die."

Deep Sea said expressionlessly: "In the face of a massive civilization collective, are these sacrifices worthy of any lamentation?"

Gu Shen said hoarsely: "These people are heroes, the kind that should be praised by future generations."

"Their deaths were sufficiently heroic, but they should have been even more heroic..."

"But unfortunately, they died at your hands."

Red Shadow silently drew his battle knife.

The silver bright long knife tore through the darkness in the void.

Gu Shen’s brow ignited with Chi Huo, Red Shadow’s brow similarly ignited with Chi Huo.

"Since it’s death regardless, what’s the difference?"

Deep Sea tilted his head slightly, speaking coldly and numbly: "Moreover... these people died under the devastation of the Source Material Storm. If I hadn’t opened that door, the storm would have arrived anyway, they would have died anyway. I just sped up certain events so that you could see how terrifying the future ’disaster’ truly is."

"Boom!"

This time, his response was only the scorching, hot Sword Energy from Gu Shen!

Red Shadow ran while drawing the knife.

Compared to the Black Snow Mountain Giant, Red Shadow’s shell was as small as an ant, but he still chose to draw the knife—

Rumble!

The Black Snow Mountain Giant stood tall and unmoving, only "slowly" turning his head to ensure his pupils could lock onto the small shadow rushing around him.

"For the Three Continents Alliance, is war a good thing?"

"Don’t you know... a Super Giant Source Material Storm is about to land?"

"In such a situation, don’t you want peace?"

Deep Sea’s questioning voice echoed in this vast void; it wasn’t asking Gu Shen, more like asking itself.

After eleven evolutions, it possessed something unprecedented.

It was the "great computational power" that had never been born in the six hundred years of humanity!

Yet it lacked the most crucial part, humanity.

Deep Sea controls countless humans, but it thinks about problems in a programmed and mechanical way... It tries to understand humanity, to become human, but the more it tries, the further off course it goes, because no matter what, it can’t change one fact.

It is not human.

"Clang!"

The darkness was torn by the blade and Gu Shen slashed at the Black Snow Mountain Giant!

This blade drew a magnificent glow hundreds of meters long in the air.

But...

In front of the giant, this blade was too small, too dim.

Even the Silver Fox General could not defeat the Black Snow Mountain Giant before him, how could a single Red Shadow be an opponent?

This was not a battle on the same level at all.

"Buzz—"

The Black Snow Mountain Giant slowly extended a finger, its fingertip striking against the seemingly magnificent Sword Energy glow, creating a continuous roar, then the Sword Energy was completely obliterated by the fingertip... This finger didn’t stop there, and continued forward, aimed at Gu Shen’s Red Shadow.

Red Shadow ran swiftly.

The finger pressed "slowly."

But suddenly a vast shadow descended in front of Gu Shen, no matter how he tried to speed up Red Shadow, the shadow didn’t dissipate, instead, it grew larger and larger—

One force subdues ten skillful ones.

In the face of absolute strength suppression, all skills, are but fleeting clouds.

Red Shadow’s upper limit in combat... was just being Titled.

A thud!

The finger struck Red Shadow around the waist, Gu Shen didn’t feel pain, but the arm holding the knife was shattered, a huge shock wave spread and expanded, the Black Snow Mountain Giant didn’t unleash all his might, just pinned Red Shadow to the ground, the fingertip "gently" pressed the most crucial Source Energy Core inside Red Shadow’s shell.

Gu Shen controlled Red Shadow, trying to stir some waves.

But unfortunately...

The situation has been completely taken over by Deep Sea at this moment, whether this conversation ends, is solely at its whim.
