674: Chapter 614 Help, I’m going to be killed (5000, first update) 674: Chapter 614 Help, I’m going to be killed (5000, first update) Just when everyone thought the incident in the Avak Domain had come to an end.

Catastrophe, or rather, disaster struck.

What first appeared at the far end of the sky was a vortex-like convergence of natural Origin Quality, a visible Spirit Energy Field vibrating, gathering and rubbing together to create thunderous lightning that filled the heavens.

The destructive energy vortex completely altered the surrounding celestial phenomena—even the brilliant noonday sun became extremely dim, for in the presence of that excessively bright light, even sunlight bore little difference from shadows.

And right at the heart of this mass of light, a deep blue bolt of lightning shot diagonally from the heavens toward the ruins of the Central Research Laboratory in Avak.

Buildings, forests, and hills shattered silently before this surging destructive lightning, with ordinary structures lacking any Origin Shield or related Spirit Energy Field protections being no different than cookies under a hydraulic press when faced with the attack of a Fourth Energy Level powerhouse.

Lightning pulled countless electrical arcs across the sky, indiscriminately striking all targets within this airspace, while its true target was swallowed by the light, completely destroyed.

There was not even a shockwave—all was reduced to rubble under the sheer force of pure material disintegration, leaving in the center of the Avak Domain not any secret research lab of the Duke of Solin, but a surging lake of molten gold, raging with volcanic magma waves.

Clearly, to Fiery Flame Land, it felt like they had been conned by the Duke of Solin and The Empire working in cahoots.

They provided the technology, reaped the results, but just when they were about to harvest their gains, they encountered an unexpected turn of events—the Avak Laboratory was destroyed completely, not only were the final outcomes of the Dead River project stolen, but even those most precious researchers involved in the entire design and experimentation process were wiped out!

As a result, Fiery Flame Land’s investment in the Avak Laboratory was utterly wasted.

It was a total loss, and they even had to deal with the wrath of the King of the Mountain and the enmity of the Southern Ridge Worship Dragon Sect…

And with The Empire’s way of propaganda, not half a word about the Spirit Wisdom Institute would be mentioned; all the blame would be on Fiery Flame Land and the Duke of Solin.

Lost.

Completely baffled by the loss.

Even the arrival of the King Tianhong’s Heart Light Body from across nations failed to yield any benefits, as he was squarely defeated by Michael.

Of course, Fiery Flame Land was well aware that the Duke of Solin would never willingly collaborate with The Empire, but regardless, the fact that they had suffered a loss was undeniable.

Thus, adhering to Fiery Flame Land’s fine tradition of ‘If I can’t have it, neither can you,’ the King Tianhong directly ordered a super-long-range lightning cannon strike on the Avak Domain.

——Even if everything wasn’t a conspiracy, and it was truly just an experimental accident, they absolutely could not allow The Empire and the Duke of Solin another chance to sort through the data and seize the outcomes!

Indeed, that was their original plan; once their key personnel had carried off the data and the Dead River Armament retreated, the King Tianhong intended to engineer a laboratory accident to obliterate the entire Avak Laboratory.

Perhaps the Spirit Wisdom Institute harbored similar thoughts; Nightmare Spawn did not seem like a guard at all, but rather a covert means of destruction.

It can be said that the hearts of these major powers were all tainted, and the Duke of Solin was the swiftest and most ruthless.

“A catastrophe-level reaction!”

Inside the Floatstone Aircraft, the pilots immediately warned in loud voices as the lightning flashed in the distance, “Detecting the aftermath of an enemy Fourth Level attack!

Prepare to evade!”

Their voices were extremely tense, a far cry from their initial calm and indifference.

But this came as no surprise, nor did anyone find their reaction bewildering or amusing…

for that was a Fourth Level attack, one of the most powerful existences in the world, a strategic human weapon.

Their attacks, even just the aftermath, would require a full military force’s defenses to escape unscathed.

Lightning zigzagged at the top of the firmament; although the aircraft had not been hit yet, it seemed to be only a matter of time.

——Help, I’m about to be killed!

And why do I always encounter trouble while in a vehicle?

Although their outward expression was one of such, in reality, Ian, who had detected the gathering of the lightning earlier in his mind, suddenly realized, “So the hint of blood I saw earlier was here—although it’s just the aftermath, it’s not dangerous for me or Hua’an Mo’feng, only the pilot and Frost Butterfly are in some danger.”

But Frost Butterfly was protected by him and Hua’an, so there was not a hint of red on it.

“No, that won’t do.”

However, Ian was well aware that this could not be the end of it—he was currently only at the First Energy Level on the surface, and while Hua’an and Mo Feng might have some extra capacity to protect themselves from the aftermath of an attack by a Fourth Energy Level powerhouse, it was certain that he would suffer serious injuries.

Frost Butterfly would undoubtedly suffer as well.

This wasn’t really an issue with Foresight View, but rather his own problem of concealing his identity…

Ian’s current identity was just an ordinary First Energy Level, theoretically requiring him to react to many dangers, even to the extent of being injured.

For example, when facing the attack of Magnetic Light Knight Chris, he had to feign injury convincingly in order to blend into the Dragon Worship Cult.

But what was the reality?

On his own, using the Fairy Heritage, he could exchange blows with the opponent, and once he employed the Sand Armor Apprentice and Aether Crystal, he would have enough power to defeat a careless Magnetic Light Knight.

With preparation, Ian could obviously act without any anomalies, at most causing others to admire his fighting talent…

but in the case of such a sudden attack, Foresight View wasn’t smart enough to distinguish whether this crisis would threaten his disguised lower Power Level identity, so it would classify the danger as high—even if it deemed the danger non-threatening to Ian, he would ignore it.
