"Data integrity confirmed...Starting decompression...Building 3D image model..."

Soon, the holographic projector in the center of the laboratory lit up, and a series of clear and stunning images began to unfold slowly in front of the two.

Chapter 126 [Gods]

The first thing to appear was the tunnel leading deeper underground, covered with eerie purplish-red veins.

Then, the scene suddenly opened up, revealing an unimaginably magnificent underground cavern.

In the center of the empty space stood a black altar that exuded an ancient and ominous aura.

Child Emperor's breathing began to quicken.

As a top scientist, he immediately realized that this place was different from others.

The geological structure and energy field reactions here completely exceed any known natural phenomenon.

"This is... the ruins of an ancient civilization?" He pushed up his glasses, his eyes sparkling with excitement and doubt.

"Keep watching." Lin Mo's voice was deep, carrying an unquestionable tone.

The scene shifts, and the robot's camera moves past the altar, focusing on the enormous mural behind it that almost completely covers the rock wall.

As the scan data recorded by "Little King" was gradually restored, the entire mural was presented to the two of them with unparalleled clarity.

The murals are simple and wild in style, with lines full of primal power.

When Child Emperor saw the bottom half of the mural, with its creature strikingly similar to the Monster King Orochi, and the countless monsters kneeling below it, his expression changed for the first time.

"This creature... seems to be the mastermind behind the Monster Association."

Tong Di's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Even a single image on the mural exudes a sense of overwhelming oppression.

He could imagine that if this being were to appear, its strength would be absolutely immeasurable.

Lin Mo nodded, then, under the astonished gaze of the Child Emperor, slowly shook his head and uttered a statement that baffled the child:

"Just a minor character; the important part is yet to come."

"what?!"

Child Emperor was stunned.

The terrifying creature depicted in the murals, worshipped by countless strange people like a god, was actually just a minor character.

At Lin Mo's prompting, Tong Di moved the holographic image's perspective further upwards.

When the middle part of the mural came into view, Child Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

In the scene, the monster king Orochi, whom he believed to be the final boss, maintained a posture of fear, resentment, and even despair.

His entire body was writhing wildly, as if he were struggling with all his might to escape this place.

That didn't seem like a king, but rather like a... sacrifice.

Tong Di's heart skipped a beat. He struggled to shift his gaze upwards.

The very top of the mural is also the core of the entire image.

There was only a human-shaped outline formed by countless lines.

It seems to be composed of countless vortexes and shadows, or as if it is indifferently looking down on the whole world from the void.

From the center of that outline, a black line extends, connecting to the top of the "Monster King Orochi's" head.

A primal fear, originating from the depths of his soul, instantly took hold of Child Emperor's heart.

"This...what is this..."

His voice became hoarse with shock, and his mind nearly collapsed at that moment.

"This can't be biological... Where's the scan data? Where's the energy analysis?!"

He frantically typed on the keyboard, bringing up the depth scan data that the robot had taken of the mural.

A series of red warning boxes, representing "unable to resolve" and "energy exceeded limit," instantly filled the entire screen.

As Tong Di looked at the analysis report in front of him, his face grew paler and paler.

However, the data recording was not yet finished, and the auxiliary murals next to it began to appear one by one.

From the sky cracking open and shadows descending; to the showers of light and the transformation of all things; and then to the rise of monsters and the outbreak of war with humanity...

Each primitive and savage mural, like the most terrifying epic, clearly tells a shocking truth.

"The origin of the weirdo..."

Child Emperor's voice trembled slightly, "So, the monsters are not a natural product of Earth... but rather a... foreign... invasion and transformation!"

This discovery completely overturned the Hero Association's, and even all of humanity's, fundamental understanding of "monster disasters."

This is not a natural disaster, nor is it evolution; it is a calamity brought down by an unknown creature!

Finally, when the spiral symbol composed of countless wriggling tentacles appeared directly above the altar.

Tong Di glanced at it, then abruptly turned his head away, letting out a painful groan.

"Ugh... such intense mental pollution! Just a single image data point is this terrifying!"

He clutched his forehead, his face pale. "Mr. King, you faced these things head-on, and yet..."

He couldn't imagine the terrifying mental impact King must have endured in that environment.

"I destroyed that altar." Lin Mo said in a calm tone, uttering a shocking statement.

"Monster King Orochi has also appeared. I controlled Little King... that robot, and fought against him."

Child Emperor suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with shock:

"You...you fought the Monster King?! What happened? You killed him..."

His words carried a hint of expectation that he himself was unaware of, hoping that KING, hailed as the "strongest man on earth," could create a miracle.

“He’s very strong,” Lin Mo interrupted him, giving his answer.

“I used the self-destruction of Little King’s core energy to trigger a chain reaction of collapses in the entire underground cave, burying him and that place completely.”

“But,” Lin Mo’s eyes became extremely solemn, “I can say with certainty that he is still alive. That level of collapse could not kill him.”

Child Emperor took a deep breath, forcing his chaotic mind to calm down.

He knew that now was not the time for shock or fear.

As an S-class hero and a representative of human wisdom, he must shoulder his responsibilities.

"The Monster Association is indeed a huge threat, but with Bald Cape Man and... me here, it can definitely be resolved."

Seeing the renewed fighting spirit in Tong Di's eyes, Lin Mo timely steered the conversation toward the core issue.

“But this enemy,” Lin Mo pointed to the terrifying silhouette of the monster king Orochi floating above the mural in the holographic image.

“We know nothing about it. I even have reason to suspect that the ‘god-level’ disaster that Granny Shibabawa prophesied, capable of destroying humanity, did not refer to the alien dark matter pirate group that later descended, but rather…”

He paused for a moment, and the entire laboratory fell into a deathly silence.

Child Emperor held his breath, waiting for the name that was about to be bestowed upon him, the name of ultimate terror.

Lin Mo's gaze pierced through the images, as if he saw the indifferent, indescribable existence hidden behind the dimensions.

"I'll call him—"

"[Deities]"

Chapter 127 The Lonely Guardian of Humanity, the King

When Lin Mo uttered those two words, Tong Di's mind went blank for a moment.

"Shen... Ming?"

After a long while, Child Emperor finally managed to squeeze out those two dry syllables from deep in his throat.

His voice was so hoarse it didn't sound like his own; it was as if every word had exhausted all his strength.

"This is impossible……"

Tong Di subconsciously retorted, which was more like a rebuttal to himself than to Lin Mo.

"Gods" and the like are simply impossible for a genius scientist like him.

"It is impossible for such an omnipotent individual to exist in the universe."

"Don't be nervous, Child Emperor, calm down. It's just a code name."

Seeing Tong Di's pale face, Lin Mo couldn't help but speak up to comfort him.

"And the 'deity' I'm referring to is not the god in the religious sense that you understand it to be."

Lin Mo's eyes were incredibly deep, reflecting the humanoid silhouette in the holographic image, and he continued:

"Actually, compared to those 'omnipotent' gods, I prefer to call it a higher-dimensional 'life form'."

"Higher-dimensional life forms..."

This word awakened Child Emperor, and his scientific instincts began to stir. He started trying to analyze the concept using logic he could understand.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

The heartbeat of the "Emperor Engine" rang out again in the silent laboratory, giving Child Emperor a strange sense of security.

Finally, Child Emperor stopped trembling.

He slowly raised his head. The innocence of childhood had completely disappeared from his youthful face, replaced by a calmness and decisiveness beyond his years.

“I understand, Mr. King.”

Although his voice was still a little hoarse, it had regained its clarity and coherence, and every word was forceful and resonant.

“You are right. Whatever it is, it exists, it is hostile to us, and it is trying to interfere with our world.”

"These three points are enough."

Child Emperor walked back to the control panel, his hands flying across the virtual keyboard.
