Chapter 325: The Last Volcano
The tail of the giant snake was really terrifying. Countless people on land and on the seabed died miserably. A magic circle set up by over 300 Legendaries had shattered, and over 10 volcanoes were destroyed.
Out of the 300 Legendary creatures, over 100 Legendary creatures were killed by this huge force. This power surpassed the Rule Power. The Legendaries could not even resist it.
Wei Huo and the others had also lost a divine weapon while trying to block the aftershocks of the huge force. However, they were still pushed tens of thousands of meters away.
At that moment, the seawater that had been pushed hundreds of thousands of meters into the sky descended and terrifying tsunamis attacked the land one after another. Fortunately, land people only needed to resist the tsunami and not face the huge force.
However, the underwater world had been completely destroyed by the huge force. Countless cities had been destroyed, and countless people had died during this disaster.
Blood flowed out of the corner of the Legendary old man’s mouth. He said, “It’s alright. We have already moved many of our people away. As long as we kill this giant snake, everything will be worth it!”
Only about 200 Legendary creatures were alive in the underwater world. The old man said, “Use our final move. Lead the energy of the Earth Core out!”
A Legendary creature asked, “Chief, are we going to die with it?”
The old man said, “No! We want this planet to die along with the giant snake!”
All the volcanoes under their feet suddenly erupted, and endless magma was spewed out. The arrangements made by the Atlanteans over the past thousands of years were finally put to use. The power within the Earth Core was guided by many devices and sprayed out of the volcanic craters.
That was not the end. The volcanic craters were too small, and the Earth Core’s energy was too strong. Hence, the volcanic craters collapsed, and the ground cracked open. An endless power surged out. The seawater kept evaporating, and countless fish and prawns were cooked alive. The heat spread to the surface of the sea, and the temperature on land started rising rapidly.
Wei Huo and the others were 10,000 meters away but could feel the temperature and see the Earth Core energy spewing out.
The golden armor said in shock, “What are they doing? Are they trying to destroy Earth?”
Xiao Liang said, “They are channeling the energy of the Earth Core. If the energy of the Earth Core is channeled, the seawater will evaporate completely.”
Wei Huo frowned. “The magnetic field is weakening.”
All living creatures had the ability to sense magnetic fields. Given Wei Huo’s current mental strength, he could completely sense the changes in the magnetic field.
The golden armor said, “The evaporation of seawater is a small issue. If the energy of the Earth’s core is guided out, the Earth’s rotation will slow down, the magnetic field will weaken, and the atmosphere will dissipate. Then, endless cosmic rays and solar storms will invade the Earth. Before long, the Earth will become dead silent like Mars!”
Wei Huo’s heart skipped a beat when the golden armor mentioned the words ‘dead silent’. It seemed as if it was something he had been chasing all his life.
However, before Wei Huo could think about it, the old man at the peak of the Legendary stage had already done something irreversible. He had completely detonated the energy coming from the Earth Core. Then, the energy soared into the sky and attacked the giant snake.
“You can’t escape!” the old man shouted. “Your body is too huge!”
One Legendary Atlantean after another was swallowed by the gigantic Earth Core energy. The old man was struggling to hang on, but he eventually laughed and said, “Monster! You will die today. The Earth Core’s energy has been completely stimulated by me. It will explode like a punctured balloon. All the energy will spew out of the huge hole under my feet. You will die!”
However, the giant snake did something unexpected. It turned its head around and opened its mouth to swallow the huge energy. The endless Earth Core energy was swallowed by it.
The old man sneered, “It’s useless. This will only make you feel bloated. Although you’re at the Mythical stage, you can’t digest all the core energy of a planet. Instead, it will accelerate the leakage of the planet’s energy. Then, all life on Earth will die!”
The giant snake acted as if it could not hear anything. All it could do now was devour everything. Otherwise, it would be devoured by the endless energy of the Earth Core and would die in the end. The only thing it could do was activate the devouring Rule and devour the world!
The old man no longer paid attention to the giant snake. His body seemed to have disappeared as he said, “It’s useless. Mars was like that 80 million years ago. The Earth Core’s energy was exhausted, and only an interstellar spacecraft could leave the planet. Even Mythical creatures can’t survive on such a dead planet. As for you, you can’t leave Earth because your body is too huge. You’re dead!”
The giant snake absorbed the Earth Core energy crazily. Its body started growing larger, but the volcanic crater that released the Earth Core energy kept getting larger too. As the old man had said, Earth was like a punctured balloon. As the Earth Core energy surged, the hole would grow larger until all the energy was released.
Then, the Earth would become a dead star and this hole would become the biggest and last volcano on Earth.
It was just like the largest and last volcano on Mars: Olympus.
One could tell from the old man’s description that the planet’s volcano seemed to have experienced an Earth Core energy leakage like this one. In the end, it had exhausted its energy and died.
Upon seeing this, Wei Huo and the others kept retreating. The hole in the Earth Core’s energy was getting larger and larger. Endless energy was released, and the temperature on the surface of the Earth rose rapidly. The seawater kept evaporating, and the surrounding soil kept bulging and melting. It seemed like it was about to form the biggest volcano on Earth.
The golden armor said, “We have to stop everything. Otherwise, Earth will become a second Mars!”
Xiao Liang said, “How can we stop it? We can’t even approach it now. The Earth Core’s energy explosion is not something we can stop! Even a Mythical creature might not be able to stop it!”
However, at that moment, the gigantic snake rushed toward the exit. At the same time, it released a thought for the first time.
“It’s not that I can’t leave this planet. I just don’t want to devour the planet that gave birth to me and raised me.”
The giant snake rushed toward the energy outlet and seemed like it wanted to block the hole with its own strength. The old man sneered and said, “You’re just a demon snake that slaughtered countless lives. What right do you have to say that?”
The giant snake sent out another thought. “Humans are outsiders and parasites on this planet. Besides, I slaughtered you to ensure the balance of Earth’s ecology. Humans have been here for over 2 million years. Not only have they not gone extinct, but they are thriving and reproducing. You should thank Earth!”
The giant snake had already rushed into the energy outlet. It really planned to block the leakage by itself and save the planet. However, the Atlantean elder shouted, “Don’t even think about it! Your body is ours!”
After saying that, he took a crystal ball out of his pocket. The crystal ball emitted Rule Waves. He lifted the crystal ball as if he was about to attack. However, at that moment, a black sword rushed over from afar and pointed at the old man’s head!
