CHAPTER 705: CHAPTER 426: THE SECOND LEVEL 8 BATTLEFIELD (PART 2)

"At first, I considered finding you a Fourth Transition Source Material suitable for a sniper, but now it seems more appropriate to look for a Fourth Transition Class that matches long-range attacks."

Upon hearing that they needed to start with a Fourth Transition Class, Lin Zeyu immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, let’s focus on long-range attacks. Get me a class ability that allows me to take out an enemy general from a thousand miles away with one missile to end the fight."

Lu Heng pondered and said, "Actually, your Second Transition Class ability greatly improves accuracy, but unfortunately, the range is limited."

Lin Zeyu’s Second Transition Class is Demon Hunter, and the class ability is Demon Hunter Mark.

As long as he marks someone, they can’t escape his sight, whether they go to heaven or earth or hide in the void.

However, the Demon Hunter Mark has a distance limit, with a maximum range of 10 kilometers. Beyond 10 kilometers, the mark disappears.

The new skill [Supersonic Energy Bomb] now has a maximum range of 100 kilometers, obviously relying on the Demon Hunter Mark for targeting is not enough.

Lin Zeyu nodded and said, "Yes, it would be great if the range of the Demon Hunter Mark could be increased, it’s a pity."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Fourth Transition Source Material is not something you can have just because you want it; it depends on luck. If there is a class that increases long-range precision, I’ll prioritize applying for it for you. As for whether we can come across it, we’ll have to see as fate allows."

Lin Zeyu also understood that there have only been two Fourth Transition Classes so far, one of which is the special class [Death God’s Deputy].

...

Two days later, a major news item spread in the Superpower User circle: a demigod-level Abyss Demon King had appeared on the Abyss Battlefield.

If this news hadn’t been about the world where the Abyss Battlefield is located, it wouldn’t have seemed like news to Lu Heng and his team.

However, this news did not come from the Elf World; it came from the Sikes Civilization.

Three days ago, during a summoning, the Sikes Civilization once again became an Abyss Battlefield, and the danger level reached 8.

For most Superpower Users, an 8-level Abyss Battlefield is a legendary hell world.

Since the summoning will distribute the Abyss Battlefield according to the combat power of the Superpower Users, those with lower levels naturally enter less dangerous Abyss Battlefields.

Currently, the first-tier Superpower Users entering the Abyss Battlefield are mostly 6-level, occasionally 7-level. An 8-level Abyss Battlefield like this had never appeared before.

In other words, there are now only two 8-level Abyss Battlefields humans have entered, one is the Elf World, and the other is the Sikes Civilization.

Due to the scale of the Elf World summoning only being 10 people, two top teams, and the Creator Organization’s raiding team nearly wiped out.

Lu Heng submitted the full report of this Abyss Battlefield event.

According to standard procedure, the Great Xia Military will analyze and summarize this Abyss Battlefield report, then choose the appropriate time to disclose the report content, to contribute to the Human Resistance Abyss Archive Completion Plan.

Starting about a year ago, representatives from several major countries on Blue Star sat down to discuss and set such a plan, called the "Human Resistance Abyss Archive Completion Plan."

The purpose of the plan is to collect information known to all of humanity regarding the Abyss World, summarize it, and publish it to help human civilization better resist the Abyss.

The plan itself is good, but executing it is not so easy.

Many countries would still hold back, and the newest and most valuable Abyss data would basically not be presented.

Da Xia is considered rather generous, publishing all the Abyss Battlefield data.

Of course, certain details will be redacted.

For instance, parts involving Lu Heng’s team of four’s combat power data will definitely be removed before publication.

Therefore, in the published data, there will be information on the Bone Sovereign, but how it died, and who killed it will not be in the data.

Not even the names of the Summoners will be mentioned in the data.

The Sikes Civilization’s 8-level Abyss Battlefield this time was not announced by any country but was leaked by the Summoners themselves.

Because this 8-level battlefield had a large summoning scale, with 100 people summoned.

Although less than a third of them returned alive in the end, when only one or two people spread the news, the intelligence of this battlefield quickly spread.

...

Lu Heng was preparing to have breakfast when he heard the news.

Upon hearing about the Sikes Civilization’s 8-level battlefield, his first reaction was to wonder if Yuan Yaoyao had been summoned?

From past experiences, Yuan Yaoyao was already deeply linked with the Sikes Civilization, and her chances of being summoned by them were much higher than others.

As he was thinking this, there was a knock at the door.

Originally thinking it was another teammate coming to share breakfast, Lu Heng opened the door and found Yuan Yaoyao standing outside.

She had a peculiar expression, as if she didn’t know whether to appear dazed, perplexed, or scared.

"What happened?" Lu Heng asked with a frown.

"Can you keep me company for a while?" Yuan Yaoyao made an unusual request.

A suspicion arose in Lu Heng’s heart, so he closed the door and took her into the elevator, going to the Training Room: "What’s wrong? Do you want to talk about it? If you don’t want to talk, that’s fine too."

Yuan Yaoyao kicked off her shoes, walked to the sofa, sat down hugging her knees, and stared off blankly while leaning against the sofa.

Seeing her unwilling to speak, Lu Heng didn’t press her for answers, trying to guess what might have happened to her.

It shouldn’t be that Yuan Hecheng was in trouble; if it were her father in trouble, she would certainly ask for help immediately instead of coming over to zone out.

Judging by her appearance, she wasn’t hurt, so it must be a psychological problem.

She had a Sikes Civilization smart Light Computer implanted in the back of her head, displaying both human and mechanical characteristics at the thinking level.

Moreover, the smart Light Computer has the function of calming biological emotions. Thus, whatever caused her psychological issue must be very serious.

Lu Heng sat beside her and asked, "Have you been summoned to the Sikes Civilization again?"

Yuan Yaoyao gave a slight nod but still did not speak.

"Was it an 8-level battlefield?" Lu Heng continued to guess.

Yuan Yaoyao nodded again, confirming the matter.

Seeing this, Lu Heng guessed what had happened.

The 8-level battlefield in the Sikes Civilization this time was extremely brutal, with only a third of the Summoners returning.

Lu Heng gently patted her back and comforted her, "Don’t be afraid, it’s all over now, isn’t it?"

Yuan Yaoyao lifted her head and said, in a voice tinged with fear, "The Second Gaia Star is gone..."

Lu Heng’s expression froze, he frowned and asked, "Was it destroyed by the Abyss Demon King?"

Yuan Yaoyao was silent for two seconds before shaking her head and replied, "The Sikes Military launched countless nuclear bombs, leveling the Second Gaia Star."

The Second Gaia Star of the Sikes Civilization was the planet where the Xavier Matrix resided, a commercial planet in the Capital Star Circle.

In the Sikes Civilization’s Capital Star Circle, there were two most dazzling planets, one was the Queen Star, and the other was the Second Gaia Star.

The Queen Star is the cultural and political center of the Sikes Civilization, the most developed in politics, culture, entertainment, and other areas.

The Second Gaia Star, on the other hand, is the commercial center of the Sikes Civilization, and also a tourist attraction.

The Sikes Civilization’s 8-level battlefield event this time also occurred in the previous timeline, but Lu Heng remembered that during that time, it wasn’t as severe, and the Second Gaia Star wasn’t destroyed.

It seems a butterfly flapped its wings, leading the Sikes Civilization’s 8-level battlefield this time to a different resolution.

Lu Heng calculated briefly, recalling that the first time he was summoned to the Sikes Civilization’s Second Gaia Star was more than a year ago.

Calculating the time flow, it’s been 12 years for the Sikes Civilization.

In 12 years, many things can happen.

Lu Heng had visited the Sikes Civilization twice, having a significant impact on this civilization, but whether this impact was positive or negative, no one could tell for sure.

Lu Heng pondered and asked, "Why did the Sikes Civilization use nuclear bombs to destroy the Second Gaia Star? Was their military system hacked?"

Yuan Yaoyao shook her head again, "No, the Mechanical Demon research succeeded, and the mechanical life on the Second Gaia Star underwent large-scale demonization, to the point that even professors couldn’t handle it. In the end, the military could only launch nuclear bombs to destroy all the Mechanical Demons on the planet. After the explosion, not a single intact city could be found."
