Chapter 125 – Burn it all
The drone passed through the tiny space crack with a buzzing sound and slowly entered a whole new world. The signal output to the outside world briefly flickered and quickly stabilized.
Although it seemed like a door had been blasted open, it was too daring to directly follow Superman inside. After all, no one knew what was behind the door, or if the environment behind it allowed humans to survive.
Not everyone has the body of steel that can survive in any environment.
Therefore, as an emergency measure in the Sky Eye camp, they decided to send a drone in first to investigate the situation behind Superman.
Contrary to their imagination, the space behind was not completely different from the present world, but more like a man-made structure. Unlike any architectural style recorded in history, it did indeed look like a palace.
An abandoned palace, like a meditation island isolated in the river of time.
As the drone flew by, through the high-resolution lens on board, everyone could see cracked foundations and unknown vegetation that resembled mint-colored moss. The towering buildings were majestic and weathered, and one could imagine the once magnificent palace adorned with weathered floral decorations and sculptures, bearing the traces of heavy years and a unique charm.
The heavy gate sealed the way forward, seemingly devoured by rotten planks and vegetation. However, when the drone flew to this point, it could be seen that the dusty door of the ages had already been opened.
Obviously, it was opened by pure brute force, as there were two large handprints left on the door.
Behind the door was the same towering vegetation, with purple vines covered in huge bell-shaped flowers, as if countless silent sighs echoed in the silent hall.
And some extremely wicked monsters.
When a huge head suddenly appeared in the drone's light, almost everyone exclaimed in shock. The grim head was covered with sharp barbed tentacles, and its skin was like countless snake scales. The sensors detected an incredible amount of heat.
Many people almost screamed when they saw it through the monitor.
But in the next moment, when the camera zoomed out, everyone discovered that it was just a head.
The body of this monster had long been torn apart, with its remains scattered everywhere, and only a hot head happened to fall in front of the drone's camera, startling everyone.
Looking further back, it was clear that this was nothing.
Similar scenes were everywhere in the palace ahead. Various monsters' broken bodies and limbs were scattered in a mess, and some of them still vaguely showed their terrifying appearance before their deaths. However, they encountered something far more terrifying than themselves in their final moments.
The camp fell silent.
The drone was flying too slowly and couldn't catch up with Superman who was leading the way. But it seemed unnecessary to catch up. Just by looking at the scattered limbs and remains, one could naturally imagine a scene of a red-caped figure rushing through.
Even the expressions of some monsters when they fell to the ground were completely bewildered, but with horrifying holes in their bodies. Perhaps they never figured out what had happened until their last breath.
"It seems that we are really not needed here." Professor Fang pondered.
The camera silently showed a scene of smooth progress, making it look as easy as going home.
"It's good to get used to it."
Commissioner Ya remained calm and had already lit a cigarette, offering one to Professor Fang at the same time.
"Want one?"
In the depths of the palace.
The girl squatted down, hugging her knees, and lightly tapped the lantern a few times with her hand.
After waiting for a few seconds, a blurry black mist emerged and condensed into an abstract face, showing a hint of displeasure.
The girl opened her snow-white palm, and this time there was a deep black metallic ore lying in her palm. The face glanced at it and immediately turned back into a black mist, swiftly devouring and digesting it, then returning to its original face.
The complexion also seemed to soften slightly.
"Speak, what's the matter?" it said.
"It's still the same, the intruder." The girl said, "He's about to come in."
"Hmm? Didn't I tell you to dispatch the Cunning Beasts to intercept?" the mist asked.
"I did, but they were all defeated in an instant." The girl said.
The mist: "?"

It was a little uncertain and asked, "All of them were killed? So many?"
"Not yet, but almost." The girl said.
The mist: "."
No, this is impossible. It immediately thought.
So many Cunning Beasts, and some of them were quite powerful individuals. Even in its most powerful state before transforming into its current form, it would not be able to kill them so quickly.
It had confirmed with this girl before that there was only one intruder, and it should be a human.
How strong can a human superhuman be?
"What should we do now?" the girl tilted her head, "Should I go stop him?"
"No, it's not time yet." The mist said in a deep voice, "Let me teach you another trick. Let's see how this trap works."
Crack—
The sound of a nine-meter-tall Cunning Beast being torn in half by Jiang Bei's bare hands.
Throwing the two halves of the body on the ground, Jiang Bei stepped on a pile of corpses and temporarily stopped, looking around and thinking.
Strange buildings, peculiar trees and vegetation, grotesque statues grinning on both sidesEverything seemed eerily familiar.
"Why do I feel like I've been here before?" Jiang Bei raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe it's not just your imagination." Xiao Qi said.
Even the abyss couldn't sever his connection with Xiao Qi, and this space was no exception. No matter where he was, at least Xiao Qi could always talk to him.
"What do you mean? Is it an illusion?"
But Jiang Bei didn't think so.
When the previous Mind Master used illusions on him, although he had no basis, he instinctively felt that he could sense the existence of the illusion.
He could even transform the entire illusion into whatever he wanted, seizing control from the other party. But this was based on intuition, he didn't understand the specific principle.
But he didn't have that feeling now.
"Of course you can't feel it. Because essentially what you see is real, it's just like a magic trick, but a Transcendent version. It doesn't affect your senses, it just creates a visual deception effect."
Xiao Qi explained, accompanied by the crunching sound of potato chips.
"Alright, any suggestions?"
"Burn it all." Xiao Qi said without hesitation.
Jiang Bei was taken aback at first, but after pondering, he immediately felt it made sense.
There's a saying that even a clever woman can't cook without rice, so if I confiscate all the magician's props, wouldn't he be unable to perform magic?
It made sense.
With that thought, he briefly closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, his eyes were a fiery red.
A hot surge erupted instantly, like a roaring red dragon. The superheated blast melted through all obstacles and shot straight ahead, as Jiang Bei spun in the air, firing in a 360-degree sweep.
In an instant, a red wave swept over, destroying everything in sight!
The rolling heat wave swept across, turning everything centered around Jiang Bei - whether Transcendent or not - into ashes.
Deep in the palace.
Black fog: "???"
