CHAPTER 465: CHAPTER 238 CONSTRUCT ATTACK_2

They hadn’t obtained a specific time from the Church’s records, only a very vague description of the distant past before the world’s destruction.

Simon looked at the group and nodded, "Yes, this is the most likely time, derived from the research of many scholars."

"It seems this city was ultimately affected by the Divine War," Chadite said with some lament.

Hearing this, Pororo scratched his head and said, "The whole world was destroyed. Did anyone escape?"

It seems unlikely that anyone did.

Thus, the group chatted casually as they arrived at the blue dot on the map. Alka looked at the ruin before them.

The exposed parts revealed it to be the ruins of a Temple.

"Is this the place?" Jason walked up, took a look, and asked.

Alka nodded.

"This site isn’t safe. Proceed with caution."

After all, it was clearly recorded that to explore this treasure, one’s strength must be at the Second Stage.

Although it was unclear what specific level of the Second Stage was required, even at Nine Spirals, they possessed the strength to confront it.

However, drawing on yesterday’s experience, the group immediately assigned tasks today. Lucilia began translating the patterns and text on the ruins.

Chadite began exploring the underground structure with his silver ripples, marking places for excavation.

The others already had their digging shovels in hand.

Lucilia jumped down and announced, "The name of this Temple is the Throat of Fury. For more information, we’ll need to dig deeper."

The group also began digging.

The entire process proceeded in an orderly fashion. Several hours later, deep pits surrounded the exposed ruins.

Lucilia continued her translation based on the newly exposed sections of the ruins.

Chadite, who already had a mental map of its layout, said, "Although these ruins were destroyed differently, their original structure is largely the same as the Temple we excavated yesterday."

"In such a small area, why are so many Temples needed?" Pororo asked, slightly puzzled.

Isn’t this a sheer waste?

Hearing his question, Jason, who was digging, turned his head and gave him a curious look.

"Because these aren’t Temples at all! Don’t you understand yet? Although these structures are called Temples, they’re actually research facilities."

"Is that so? I hadn’t considered that," Pororo chuckled.

"Then you should get that shark brain of yours working. You can’t just think of using it to ram or bite things. Besides those rather violent applications, you should try using it for its original purpose," Jason said with a smile, shoveling dirt.

Hearing this, Pororo just stared straight at Jason.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"I can tell. You’re insulting me."

"No way. What did I say to insult you?" Jason retorted disdainfully.

Pororo narrowed his eyes, his expression unfriendly. "Enough of that! I just don’t like to think, that doesn’t mean I’m dumb! Damn it, take this!"

With that, Pororo leaped down and threw a punch.

The two immediately started brawling. Clearly, Jason was no match for Pororo in close combat.

Several ribbons flew over, bound them together, and tossed them aside.

After a short while, Lucilia deciphered more information.

Alka listened to this new information, looking at the map in his hand.

[Destruction of Azula]

[Difficulty: Downer (Second Stage)]

[Fame: 0]

[Treasure Information: Vastva Project 1-9, led by war expert Azula at the Temple of the Throat of Fury.

The research subject was large-scale city defensive weapons. The final result was named Destruction of Azula by him.

Use a secret phrase to enter the Temple’s Superimposed Space, which is the Temple’s armory. Beware of the Guardian.]

Reading this information, Alka mused, So, this Temple also has a Superimposed Space. However, the Separation Space here seems not to be a research facility but an armory for storing weapons.

The fact that items were stored in the armory indicates the project was completed long ago.

So, what could the secret phrase be?

Even the weapon was named after Azula. Could this person have been that narcissistic?

Thinking of this, Alka said, "Lucilia, translate ’Azula’."

Lucilia nodded and uttered an unfamiliar name.

"The Magic Power has increased!" Julia exclaimed.

Everyone immediately readied themselves.

Unexpectedly, it succeeded on the first try. He actually used his own name as the secret phrase!

However, this time they were not teleported into a Superimposed Space.

Instead, a spatial crack appeared before them. Unlike a typical rift, its edges were remarkably neat. The crack then expanded, transforming into a large, blue door.

It was a Teleportation Gate.

Seeing this, Alka immediately shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

He recalled the Treasure Information’s closing remark about a Guardian protecting the armory.

Then, he and the others leaped out of the pit.

The surface of the Teleportation Gate rippled like water. An object emerged from within—a conical construct, roughly the size of a human head.

Its exterior was black and red. Flame-like Energy churned at its rear, emitting an orange-red glow.

"Please present a pass token!"

"No pass token detected. No matching profile detected. No standard Divine Power detected. Intruders! Engaging defense mode!"
