Chapter 808: The Mastermind’s Death

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I’m ashamed to say that we didn’t kill the monster mastermind. It died from spontaneous combustion due to overloading.”

Shao Zhengyang told Meng Chao that although the monster mastermind’s Illusion Killing Array was powerful, it would have to pay an extremely tragic price if it wanted to trap more than twenty Deity Realm experts at the same time.

Whether it was a human brain, monster brain, or even a silicon-based computing chip, they all had to consume a large amount of energy and release an extremely high amount of heat when they were operating at an extremely high speed.

Most of the time, the performance of the brain or the chip itself was not limited, but its temperature was.

For a super computer, the cooling system was one of the most important core units.

For the human brain, the result of overthinking was that the brain was easily scalded.

The super brain in the depths of the monster’s lair had a diameter of several hundred meters. Its volume was more than ten million times that of a normal human brain, so naturally, heat dissipation was a big problem.

One had to know that when the surface area of an object was doubled, its volume would increase exponentially.

Plus, heat dissipation could only be carried out through the surface area.

It was also the reason why the higher the internal temperature of a creature, the harder it was for it to dissipate heat.

Therefore, when the monster mastermind crazily stimulated the brain tissue and released extremely intense brainwaves, the temperature at the core of the super brain rose from dozens of degrees to hundreds or even thousands of degrees at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Even though the inside of the super brain was filled with meandering “cooling tubes,” the temperature of the super brain remained very high.

The material that made up the “brain tissue” was a type of xenogeneic cell that was extremely strong and resistant to the cold as well as extreme heat.

However, it could not withstand high temperature that was as terrifying as a steel furnace after a long battle.

Not to mention, more than twenty Deity Realm powerhouses had activated their vitality magnetic fields at the core of the super brain and waved their sabers and swords.

Most of their attacks had been directed at their teammates.

The shockwaves that had spread out, the spirit flames that had raged everywhere, and the sabers and sword auras that had whistled out still left the super brain riddled with injuries. Even the “cooling system” inside the super brain had been shattered.

It had been a battle of wills.

It had been a compet.i.tion of who could wear out who.

Fortunately, the humans had the last laugh.

“I was struggling in the illusion where the super giant reptiles were running rampant. Several times, I felt exhausted and wanted to collapse to the ground, allowing the other party’s iron feet to trample me into a pile of mud.”

Shao Zhengyang said, “However, when I thought of the millions of Red Dragon Army troops behind me, if my collapse allowed the monster mastermind to recover a slim chance of survival and caused the beast horde to rise again and kill countless Red Dragon Army soldiers, I wouldn’t be able to wash my sins away even if I fell into the eighteenth level of h.e.l.l.

“Therefore, I gritted my teeth and condensed my spirit energy into an invisible rope. I grabbed my body that was about to fall apart and ran forward desperately. In the end, I couldn’t tell which direction was which. I just dodged instinctively.

“A super giant reptile with magma flowing all over its body opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and was about to shoot a high-temperature beam at me. Yet, I couldn’t dodge in time no matter what. Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the distant sky.

“The giant reptiles, the volcano far away, the rolling lead clouds, and the splas.h.i.+ng rain of fire all stopped in an instant.

“Then, the world changed from three-dimensional to a plane, from color to black and white, from lifelike to mottled. It was like an extremely fragile mirror that was frozen. Pieces of it cracked and shattered.

“Following that, I returned to the real world. In the monster lair, deep inside the super brain, me and the other Deity Realm warriors who had just woken up looked at each other in bewilderment.

“We saw that the super brain, which had originally been gray and rocky, had turned into a dark red color with a temperature of nearly a thousand degrees under the monster mastermind’s crazy stimulation. It was like a piece of red-hot iron.

“Even with the protection of spirit energy, the brain cells of carbon-based creatures could not be exposed to such a terrifying high temperature for a long time.

“As I expected, many ‘brain tissues’ were burning in the depths of the super brain. Some areas had already melted into deep dents.

“The spirit energy that should have been flowing according to its spirit tattoos and certain rules due to the vitality magnetic field’s restriction all rushed out like a flood that had broken through a dam. That caused even deeper damage to the super brain.

“Plenty of spirit flames spurted out of the holes that were supposed to be used to cool the super brain. Like a natural gas leak, they congregated into a colorful sea of fire above the ‘cerebral cortex.’

“The monster mastermind was burning in the most brilliant sea of fire. It danced and turned into countless translucent bubbles.

“In the end, the bubbles burst like soap bubbles, and the monster mastermind was vaporized.

“In its short half a century of life, especially in its last few minutes, the super brain released all the energy that it had acc.u.mulated over the past ten million years and fell into a new round of hibernation.

“That’s the end of the monster civilization.”

Shao Zhengyang’s voice was deep.

It was filled with emotion and respect for a powerful enemy.

The scene that he had described touched Meng Chao.

“The monster mastermind clearly possessed intelligence that surpa.s.sed that of humans. Even when it was engulfed in flames and on the verge of destruction, it didn’t think of… surrendering?” Meng Chao could not help but ask.

“Imagine this. You’re a human who claims to be the spirit of all living things. If there comes a day when the human civilization and the ‘canine civilization’ have a conflict, mankind will be forced to retreat. Countless people will be killed by the canine animals. In the end, you will be the only one left.”

Shao Zhengyang said, “At this time, the dogs from the opposing civilization agree to let you live. But the condition is that you must always be chained up and become a dog’s dog. Can you accept such a fate?”

Meng Chao was silent.

Indeed, although the vast majority of monsters were beasts that bared their fangs and brandished their claws…

If the monster civilization really originated from the ancient civilization, a creature like the monster mastermind, which possessed extraordinary intelligence, would naturally have its dignity and pride.

“It’s impossible for it to surrender.”

Shao Zhengyang sighed, “It’s too smart. It’s so smart that it knows the human mentality very well. Putting aside the deep hatred between the human civilization and the monster civilization, the fact that it possessed such a mysterious and powerful biochemical technology, as well as the ability to remotely control the beast tide, humans would definitely not allow it to continue living comfortably beside its bed.

“Even if humans accepted its surrender, they would definitely implant all kinds of chips into its body to monitor its brain waves and neural reactions at all times. They would regularly inject it with gene medicine to keep it weak and even conduct all kinds of inhuman experiments on it.

“In that regard, it has a lot of experience. Don’t forget that it has absorbed part of Jin Qianxi’s brain tissue and memory.

“Perhaps, it would rather die than repeat Jin Qianxi’s fate.

“So, until it completely turned into a bubble, it never begged us for mercy. Instead, it uttered one last curse while it laughed wildly.”

“What kind of curse?” Meng Chao asked.

“It cursed our Dragon City to be destroyed like Peach Blossom Town?”

“No.”

Shao Zhengyang shook his head and said, “It didn’t curse Dragon City to be destroyed. Instead, it wanted us to live forever.”

“What?”

Meng Chao was stunned. “Live forever?”

“That’s right. It cursed Dragon City to exist forever in pain, darkness, and chaos.”

Shao Zhengyang said, “It cursed everyone who lives in Dragon City to be driven by ambition and desire forever. They will never be satisfied and calm, only with greed and anxiety.

“It cursed all the powerhouses in Dragon City. They will become slaves of money and power. Every second, they will strive to be richer and stronger. For these two goals, they will give up everything in their lives.

“It cursed all the weaklings in Dragon City. They will be enslaved by the powerhouses forever. They will cry in sickness and famine every bone-chilling night.

“It cursed our human civilization. Even if it could sweep across the entire Other World and conquer all the foreign races, it would end up like the Earth era, splitting into hundreds of countries and conquering each other endlessly. It would even develop super weapons that were more powerful than nuclear bombs and raze the foreign world to the ground just like Earth.

“It cursed us. Even if we manage to obtain all the power of the ancient civilization, charge out of the Other World into the sea of stars, and conquer one planet after another, we still won’t be able to find the destination of our journey. We’ll only be able to continue on as zombies who are controlled by appet.i.te, living mechanically, numbly, and in vain.”

That was the… strangest curse that Meng Chao had ever heard of.

Thinking about it carefully, it contained a power that was even colder than the apocalypse.

Meng Chao swallowed with difficulty and muttered, “The monster mastermind just vanished like that, leaving nothing behind?”

“No, even though 99% of the monster mastermind’s brain tissue had turned into foam, it still left something behind.”

Wu Haibo said, “The spirit radiation here is too strong. We’ll set up a temporary laboratory somewhere else. This way.”

They continued to move forward along the “brain groove.”

A few silver tents were set up near the “medulla oblongata” if one were to name it in terms of the human brain.

There were only a few guards outside the tents.

However, they were all experts with powerful auras surrounded by spirit flames.

Some of them were even familiar faces that often appeared in the media, such as Luo Wu, the Soul Breaking Saber.

These experts naturally knew Lei Zongchao, the Battle G.o.d.

Even when they had just debuted, they had received Lei Zongchao’s careful guidance and were indebted to him for saving their lives.

Seeing Lei Zongchao appear, the influential figures all stood at attention and bowed to Lei Zongchao in a very orderly manner.

The laboratory was not big.

There was only a silvery-white metal base with a diameter of two to three meters.

However, the octagonal base extended eight folding, multi-jointed mechanical arms to the surroundings.

Each mechanical arm was embedded with dozens of crystals. Through the mysterious and complicated spirit tattoos carved on their surface, pure light was emitted.

The rainbow-like rays of seven colors converged and created a wonderful buoyancy, causing a shard of glittering crystal to float in the air.
