Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1548: Extraction Of Origin Energy

"That's why." "I see, thank you for your explanation, Mr. Tong Wu," Mitinus said, sideways. "But if you're going to the Wilderness to stop something, I think you need to save time. Please use it as a means of transportation."

Mitinus let out a ripple. A moment later, a whistling sound came from the sky. A black shadow descended behind Mitinus. Tong Wu saw that it was a flying beast. The flying beast looked like a wolf, but its body was huge. It had four wings on its back, and sparks drifted when it flapped. Even though it was a beast-like creature, Tong Wu could feel a strong aura coming from it. Tong Wu didn't hesitate to nod and walk towards the flying beast. Mitinas said, "Just let it know when we arrive at its destination. It knows how to return."

"Thank you very much for your help." Tong Wu stepped onto the flying beast and said to Mitinas Rushi.

Then, the flying beast flapped its wings, causing waves of hot wind to rise. Tong Wu's armor wasn't light, but the flying beast didn't seem to have any difficulty hunching over him, so he flew into the air. Tong Wu pointed in a direction, and it flapped its wings and quickly left. josei

Mitinus looked into the depths of the wilderness and whispered, "Perhaps His Highness Allen should come back."

At the end of his words, a cold wind blew from the direction of Canon Black Gate. The flames in Mitinas' eyes lit up a little, and the temperature in the Forgotten Realm dropped a few degrees.

The earth quickly retreated. Tong Wu estimated that he would arrive at Canon Black Gate tomorrow at this speed. The flying beast that Mitinus borrowed was astonishing in stamina and extraordinary in speed. Tong Wu wasn't good at speed. Having this flying beast as his substitute really saved him a lot of time. Tong Wu could feel that the closer he got to the Black Gate, the lower the temperature would be. Now that he was in the air, the wind was already filled with frost, and the surface of his armor was covered with thin white frost. Perhaps another general, Ice Wind, would like this weather, but most people resist the cold. Even at their level of combat strength, even if the temperature dropped a little, it wouldn't affect them much, but considering their own clansmen, they wouldn't be able to remain indifferent.

As they were flying, the flying beast suddenly became uneasy. Afterwards, Tong Wu felt a will coming from the depths of the Forgotten Realm. A magnificent and strict will swept across the earth, and there was nowhere for everything to hide. The copper martial artist was naturally exposed to that will, and an inexplicable killing intent erupted from that will. Tong Wu subconsciously released his Qi to resist it. The moment the two collided, Tong Wu's mind went blank for a moment. When he regained his senses, he discovered that he and the flying beast were falling to the ground. Fortunately, the flying beast had recovered before falling to the ground. The four wings spread outwards, bringing with them a wave of heat that blew across the ground. The flying beast flew a few hundred meters above the ground before climbing back into the air.

That will had already disappeared.

"Lord Alice?" Tong Wu murmured. He had indeed sensed Alice's aura from the previous connection. But not purely, there were other things mixed in with Alice's aura, and these things mixed with Alice's aura to form that cold and heartless will. Only after the Bronze Tortoise released her Qi did Alice's aura appear. She must have sensed the Bronze Tortoise. This also explained why that will had erupted with killing intent, but now it had quietly left.

The flying beast flew swiftly, bringing Tong Wu along in the frost wind.

One day and night later, Tong Wu saw the Canon Black Gate. Because he was in the air, he saw the scene behind the black door. That place was at the opposite extreme from the icy cold of the Realm of the Forgotten. The volcano behind the Black Gate was erupting, and boiling lava flowed down from the crater, forming several fiery red rivers on the ground. Hot smoke rose up from the ground and flames spurted out from the lava rivers from time to time. The heat waves from the Black Gate surged, and even the frost covering the ground in front of the Abyss Bridge had melted. Hot and cold currents collided, causing the entire black door to be enveloped in a hazy mist of water.

At this point, the flying beast didn't seem to want to get any closer. It lowered its height and finally stopped in front of the bridge of the abyss. Its two front claws uneasily dug into the ground, and its head lowered as it cried out in a low voice. Tong Wu jumped to the ground, patted it and said, "That's enough. You can go back."

Hearing this, the flying beast felt relieved. He turned around and flapped his wings, causing a heat wave to fly into the air. Not long after, it became a black dot on the horizon.

Tong Wu took a deep breath and strode across the abyss bridge. He stood in front of the black door and raised his head to see the giant black door. '"Lord Alice, are you here? I want to see you!" Said Tong Wu loudly.

His voice was like thunder, echoing inside and outside the black door. Moments later, the black door opened with a thunderous rumble, opening a passage through which he could borrow the bronze martial arts. Tong Wu strode in, and after passing through the black door, the scene changed. Previously, through the fog, he could only see the general scene behind the door. However, when he personally entered the Black Gate, he saw that there was a busy scene on the ground behind the door. On the ground, there were two beehives as big as mountains. One of them was slowly ascending into the air. It was unknown what kind of flying device the beehive was using, but it actually silently rose up like this. However, its size was truly enormous. Just the friction between it and the air produced a rumbling sound. Another hive is still under construction, and countless giant bees can be seen circling it, acting as builders. On the ground, there were huge bugs as big as mountains lying near the river of magma. They stretched out their tubular organs from their mouths into the magma, and the flames continued to transmit, as if they were absorbing energy.

The Black Gate had turned into an arsenal, but what it produced was not ice-cold weapons, but creatures. Tong Wu did not regain his senses and heard the sound of wings flapping. A giant bee with a fiery red body descended in front of Tong Wu, and the eyeballs on its head flickered with wisdom. Although he was speechless, Tong Wu seemed to have understood something, "Will you take me to see Lord Alice?"

The giant bee turned around and flew forward at a moderate speed. Copper Martial followed behind him, passing through the land behind the Black Gate and entering the underground hall beneath the volcano. The underground hall was extremely hot, and Tong Wu could clearly feel the tremors of origin energy surging beneath his feet. Every second, a large amount of Origin Energy passed under his feet, then rushed towards the volcano crater, and was released along with the magma. This volcano seemed to have turned into a huge pump, but it was not pumping groundwater, but the origin power of the planet. Suddenly, the Bronze Tortoise realm knew the reason for the climate change. Agares' Origin Energy was constantly being extracted, and geothermal heat and energy were being pumped to the ground. As a result, the climate inside the planet began to change. Right now, it was only the Forgotten Realm. Not long after, it would be affected outside the Forgotten Realm. In the end, this planet would be affected. Theoretically, as long as the Origin Energy of the planet didn't stop being extracted, sooner or later, Agares' energy would be extracted and eventually reduced to an ice-cold and desolate star of death!

All of this seemed to have been done by Alice. At this moment, an indescribable sense of danger flashed through Tong Wu's heart, causing him to almost explode with Origin Energy. He barely managed to control himself, only to see a black shadow about a hundred meters tall moving towards the lava lake deep in the underground hall. It was a human bug, perhaps called a bug man. The insect's head and feminine body came from the lava lake and stopped near the shore. Then, the worm armor on his chest opened to both sides, revealing the inner body cavity. Alice was in her chest, but she had only one face left, and the rest of her body was wrapped in tissue. Seeing this scene, Tong Wu's entire body trembled, but Alice calmly said, "Tong Wu, why did you come to the Black Gate? I should have said that the Black Gate is a forbidden area, right?"

Tong Wu controlled his emotions and knelt down on one knee, "I know, Lord Alice. However, the environment in the Forgotten Realm is getting worse and worse. Many tribesmen have died because of the low temperature. When we went to the castle, we wanted to discuss it with Lord, but we found out that Lord was at the Black Gate. I came to the Black Gate alone because of the time constraints. Please forgive me."

"Really? Then you can go back now." Alice's voice was emotionless, "You should know the reason for the climate change in the Forgotten Realm when you enter the Black Gate." That's right, that's because I'm extracting Origin Energy from the planet. The impact will grow stronger and stronger, and eventually, those weak beings will die. Only my children and strong enough people can survive. "Of course, if I kill Sbernak before that, then I don't need to continue extracting star origin power."

Tong Wu lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, if you want to fight against Demonic Shadow Empire, both the clansmen and I are quite willing to fight for your Excellency. Therefore, Your Excellency, there is no need for you to extract Origin Energy from the planet."

'"I know your loyalty, Tong Wu," laughed Alice. "But you have to understand that you can't fight against Demonic Shadow Empire and Bernard alone. So I have to do it my own way. Alright, you can go now. As for whether you want to explain the situation to the clansmen or not, you can decide for yourself."

"By the way, this is my last speech as Alice. Next, there will only be Queen Garde on Agares, not Alice!" After saying that, the bug armor began to close.

Tong Wu suddenly stood up and said, "Please wait, my lord!"

However, what he was waiting for was not Alice's response, but Empress Garde's sharp howl. Empress Garde opened her mouth and shouted, causing the sound waves visible to the naked eye to collide. Tong Wu covered his head with both hands, but his entire body was shaken out of the hall by the sound waves and fell to the foot of the volcano. He immediately stood up and wanted to enter the hall again, but he saw a swarm of giant bees landing in front of him. The giant bees all raised their tails towards him, and the sharp spikes at the end of their tails had already shown the swarm's attitude. Tong Wu wasn't afraid of these bees, he was just worried that he would offend Alice.

Helplessly, he could only choose to leave.

After coming out of the black door, the black door closed with a thunderous rumble. When Tong Wu turned around, the door was already closed. He stood there silently, recalling every word Alice had said just now. Finally, he let out a low sigh and walked over to the Bridge of the Abyss. Alice would not change her mind, so he had to go back and tell the other generals about the changes in the Black Gate. When necessary, they had to consider moving.
