CHAPTER 419: CHAPTER 246: DARK ENERGY CONVERTER AT 11% (TWO-IN-ONE)

Qin Shou’s expression tightened as he ordered Galatron to release drones to investigate the movements of the Dark Volcano.

But in the next moment, the earth shook violently. The Dark Volcano’s crater erupted with boundless dark energy, shooting straight into the night sky, blotting out the moonlight. Darkness engulfed the land, transforming it into impenetrable pitch-blackness, leaving only faint glimmers from scattered energy bursts.

"Beep... Special dark electromagnetic wave interference detected. Mechanical equipment unable to operate. Signal strength reduced by ninety-five percent..."

"Beep... Signal transmission failed..."

"Beep... Immediate evacuation is advised..."

"Beep... Intelligent system is about to shut down..."

"Beep beep beep..."

The communicator stopped functioning, and Qin Shou’s cheek twitched.

Under these circumstances, it was even more challenging than the South American ordeal.

Even the communicator was useless, leaving the intelligent system to shut down passively.

Gazing at the faint energy glimmers dotting the nearby night sky, Qin Shou didn’t hesitate further. He summoned Groot, who carried him underground, moving towards the main force from beneath the surface.

Underground, emerald-green vines formed a protective shield as Groot sped swiftly through the subterranean terrain while carrying Qin Shou.

"Crunch crunch crunch..."

The sound of stones grinding reached their ears as Groot and Qin Shou suddenly entered a maze of crisscrossing underground tunnels.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

Suddenly, countless crimson dots flickered, surging towards Qin Shou’s position like an overwhelming tide.

"Not good, a trap."

Qin Shou frowned immediately, retracting Groot and activating the Reynard Transformation Card to enter stealth mode.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

The countless crimson dots paused momentarily, then surged towards him again.

Indeed, the second-level invisibility device was ineffective.

Cursing internally, Qin Shou reverted to his original form, with light energy radiating from his hands.

"Buzz..."

Brilliant light illuminated the tunnel, revealing swarms of black rats packed tightly together in his sights.

"Dark Mouse Beasts!"

Qin Shou hurled the energy orb in his hand forcefully into the midst of the Dark Mouse Beast horde. Blazing heat erupted, incinerating swaths of mouse beasts into ash while dispersing significant amounts of dark energy.

An attack coupled with the sensing of light energy provoked the Dark Mouse Beasts into a frenzy, rushing at Qin Shou with heightened mania.

Calculating his direction, Qin Shou released dazzling light energy all around him, dispersing nearby dark energy as beams of light energy shot forth.

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, explosions of heat, destruction beams, and shockwaves swept through the Dark Mouse Beasts, filling the air with incessant screeches and cries.

Then, gentle light unfurled, healing some barely alive mouse beasts, rejuvenating them to full vitality, as they charged unrelentingly at Qin Shou.

Qin Shou: "..."

I knew this would happen...

Light energy won’t do. Switch!

Immediately, he retracted the light energy, allowing inky-black dark energy to envelop his body.

Before Qin Shou could make a move, the indefinite hordes of Dark Mouse Beasts suddenly halted their attack, sniffing curiously at their surroundings before dispersing in all directions, as if Qin Shou was no longer present.

Qin Shou: "..."

Are you kidding me?

As one Dark Mouse Beast passed nearby, Qin Shou gave it a slight kick, provoking an annoyed screech from it.

Other than that, there was no hostility whatsoever.

Looking down at his body shrouded in dark energy, Qin Shou slightly nodded.

It must be due to the dark energy within him.

If that’s the case...

Turning around, Qin Shou quickly raced through the underground tunnel opened by Groot towards the surface.

Soon, when Qin Shou emerged to the surface, his eyes fell upon an endless army of Dark Monsters.

Dark Demon Scorpions, Dark Centipedes, Dark Giant Pythons...

Above, jet-black Vulture Monsters hovered, diving down occasionally to attack the Drue Star People still resisting.

A flock of Dark Bats swept across the skies, draining struggling Drue Star People into desiccated corpses in an instant, which plummeted to the ground and were crushed by the relentless Dark Monsters.

"What happened to these Dark Monsters?" Qin Shou wondered internally.

Shrouded in dark energy, Qin Shou did not attract the attention of the Dark Monsters.

Carefully avoiding the passing Dark Monster army, Qin Shou sped toward the direction of the main force, showing no intention of saving the Drue Star People.

Earthlings already have enough to deal with; no point saving aliens.

...

Under the night sky, before long, Qin Shou transformed into a streak of jet-black light, silently approaching a position near the main force.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Roar!!"

"Screech..."

"Thud thud thud..."

At this moment, five members of the Golden Dragon Team had each transformed into gigantic Nightmare Five Star Beasts, rampaging through the armies of Dark Monsters.

The Ruijin Dragon Beast soared into the sky, executing Divine Dragon Tail, clearing massive swaths of Dark Monsters with its powerful dragon body.

The Fiery Giant Dog’s three heads spewed cascades of fireballs, exploding within the dark energy hordes.

The Mechanical Locust leapt repeatedly, each landing quaking the earth and killing scores of Dark Monsters.

The Luminous Poison Jellyfish floated midair, its densely packed tentacles spreading out and injecting potent venom into the Dark Monsters it passed.

"Crunch crunch crunch..."

On the ground, a massive entity resembling a pangolin burst out from underground. The Earth Boring Giant Armored Beast charged out, its armored body scattering the Dark Monster army.

"Hah!!"

Not far away, two towering giants roared continuously, wielding broadswords that swept through hordes of Dark Monsters, unleashing an unstoppable power crushing all in their path.

High above, enormous airborne battleships fired various energy weapons, detonating within the dark monster armies.

On the battleship deck, endless swarms of Dark Bats and Dark Vultures attacked the ship. Leng Xinlan and others piloted third-level mechas, infusing their innate energy into mecha weapons to amplify ranged attacks.

But as the dark energy grew increasingly dense, mecha performance rapidly declined, seemingly about to shut down.

Before that, the aerial battleship had already ceased operations.
