249: Chapter 249 Absolute Martyrs

Ye Fei sat cross-legged in the most spacious corner, her hands pressed lightly against the ground.

Although she hadn't summoned any massive creatures, the dazzling golden [Myriad Spirit Divine Seal] on her forehead was emitting visible ripples.

She was attempting to use her spiritual power to span a distance of over a thousand kilometers, sensing the native ferocious beasts on the Extreme North Ice Field that had fallen into madness and mutation due to the high-dimensional descent.

Lin Shan still sat by the hatch like an immovable iron tower, his dark black Vibranium Battle Armor wiped spotless.

He didn't look at any data; he simply closed his eyes, feeling the [Indestructible Blood Core] within him let out a thirsty roar in time with his heartbeat.

For an [Absolute Martyr] like him, as long as the captain gave the order, even if what lay ahead was a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, he would unhesitatingly be the first to charge in, using his own flesh and blood to bear all the destruction for his teammates.

At the very front of the cabin, Chen Xi stood before a Holographic Tactical Star Map.

The screen displayed a forbidden zone completely dyed a piercing crimson—the [Extreme North Star Gate Crash Site].

"Captain, Senior Shen Ye just sent a final encrypted communication."

Li Murou, who was in charge of communications, suddenly opened her eyes and patched an audio clip into the cabin's main console.

"Zzt... Chen Xi... can you hear me? Zzt..."

Accompanied by severe electromagnetic interference, Shen Ye's raspy and urgent voice echoed through the cabin:

"Xia Qing and I have reached a Glacial Rift less than five kilometers from the Star Gate Base. The situation here is ten thousand times worse than we imagined!"

"Those so-called [High-Dimensional Observers] aren't a Vanguard at all! They're just the 'sappers' and 'patrol dogs' on the outermost perimeter of this base!"

Shen Ye's voice carried a deep tremor:

"Those alien scum are using the star gate to extract the energy from Earth's leyline core! I saw it with my own eyes—they're fusing that high-dimensional energy with Earth's high-tier ferocious beasts! They've created terrifying monsters that are half high-dimensional energy and half silicon-based biological flesh—[Silicon-Based God-Ascenders]!"

"These [Silicon-Based God-Ascenders] are immune to over 90% of physical attacks and can automatically analyze and adapt to most three-dimensional magic laws! Xia Qing just tried a wind-based reconnaissance spell, and a patrolling silicon-based monster almost used the magic's trajectory to perform a 'Dimensional Reduction Lock' on him!"

"Do not approach while invisible! Their radar can scan all wavebands in three-dimensional space! Chen Xi, if you come, you absolutely cannot attack head-on; you must find a way..."

"Zzt—Bang!"

The audio cut off abruptly with a piercing explosion. Clearly, Shen Ye and the others had been discovered and attacked, forcing the connection to be severed.

"Silicon-Based God-Ascenders? Half high-dimensional energy bodies? Able to analyze and be immune to three-dimensional laws?"

After hearing Shen Ye's final intelligence report, Su Xiaoxiao snapped her eyes open, a hint of gravity flashing in her violet-silver pupils. "Captain, if they can analyze and become immune to both magic and physical attacks, how are we supposed to fight this? They're like cheaters with an all-attribute immunity hack!"

"Cheating? Humph."

A cold, disdainful smile curled on Chen Xi's lips. He casually closed the holographic star map and turned to face his four battle-ready teammates, his eyes erupting with a wild, arrogant fighting spirit that made everyone's blood boil.

"In this universe, there's no such thing as an absolutely immune, invincible defense. If there is, it only means your hammer isn't big enough, and you aren't swinging it hard enough!"

Chen Xi slowly raised his right hand. Flickering at his fingertips was the [Mythic Card: Heavenly Domain], which radiated a nine-colored divine glow and sealed the origins of the Tower of Heaven and the star gate, along with a brand-new trump card he had forged over the past hundred days using countless rare materials from the Federation's treasury and fusing innumerable rule fragments.

"They are high-dimensional beings. They look down on the laws of our three-dimensional world, so they think we are lambs for the slaughter."

Chen Xi strode toward the heavy alloy hatch at the rear of the cabin, his voice drumming against everyone's hearts like a war drum:

"Since they like to play the high-dimensional suppression game, I'm going to teach them today..."

"What true [Reverse Dimensional Reduction Kill] looks like!!!"

"Beep beep beep—!!!"

An urgent alarm blared from the cockpit: "Report, Major General Chen! The Shuttle has entered the high-dimensional magnetic field interference zone! The stealth coating has been forcibly stripped! We are locked on by enemy anti-air fire!!!"

Through the porthole, everyone could clearly see that at the end of the blizzard, a massive star gate, a thousand meters tall and emitting a piercing blue light as if to suck in the entire sky, stood majestically upon the ice field!

Surrounding the star gate, hundreds of strangely shaped [Silicon-Based God-Ascenders], their bodies flowing with blue data light and metallic luster, had taken to the sky. The polyhedrons on their heads spun wildly as hundreds of blue destruction beams, capable of erasing everything, swept toward the Shuttle like an inverted meteor shower!

"No more dodging! No more hiding!"

Chen Xi's gaze sharpened as he slammed the emergency hatch release button.

"Rumble—!!!"

A violent hurricane from ten thousand meters up, along with negative eighty-degree cold, instantly rushed into the cabin.

Facing the incoming barrage of destruction beams, Chen Xi's coat fluttered in the wind, making him look like a god of death patrolling the mortal realm.

"Nirvana Battle Team, hear my command!"

"Lin Shan! Clear the path!!!"

"Roar—!!!"

Without a word, Lin Shan let out a roar like a prehistoric giant ape and leaped from ten thousand meters without a parachute!

In mid-air, the [Indestructible Blood Core] inside him exploded, and he pushed the causality laws of the [Absolute Martyr] to their limit!

"Draw them all... to me!!! [God-Tier - Causality Transfer - Endless Wall of Sighs]!!!"

A terrifying, dark red spherical shield, thousands of square meters in size, erupted in the sky over the Extreme North Ice Field, centered on Lin Shan's falling body!

The hundreds of high-dimensional destruction rays, capable of erasing a city in an instant, were forcibly pulled from their original trajectories the moment they touched the dark red shield—like light bending due to gravitational distortion—and converged to strike Lin Shan alone!

"Sizzle—!"

Under the terrifying high-dimensional erasing power, the vibranium armor on Lin Shan's body melted like snow and his flesh evaporated, only to frantically regenerate the next second thanks to his abnormal recovery abilities.

Weathering a net of firepower that could end the world, he forcibly tore open a blood-colored path through the high-dimensionally blockaded sky for the Nirvana Battle Team, leading straight to the Star Gate Base!
