I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 505 - 505 504.Kind-hearted_1

Chapter 505: 504.Kind-hearted_1 Chapter 505: 504.Kind-hearted_1 Lu Ban was, after all, someone who cherished his teammates. If it had been a slightly more selfish Chosen by Gods, they might have let their teammates help block the knives to divert the attention of the swarm.

“I really am kind-hearted,” he muttered to himself.

Lu Ban had no time to dwell on this; he immediately moved towards the rocket launchpad while taking the radio out of his bag.

After a moment’s thought, Lu Ban adjusted the radio to the thunderstorm setting.

In an instant, the sky above the Wasteland darkened.

Torrential rain, possibly absent from this world for a hundred years, was on the verge of arrival.

First came the thunder, roaring like giants across the heavens, shaking the buildings of the industrial wasteland ruin.

Then the rain began to fall.

At first one drop, then two, the size of beans, the raindrops started to fall from the sky. However, due to the temperature, they evaporated before they could hit the ground.

Yet, with the ongoing evaporation, the temperature around them gradually decreased.

Boom—

A flash of lightning streaked across the pitch-black clouds, followed by the crackling of thunder.

The swath of thunderclouds spread over the entire industrial park, and above, the force of nature was showcasing its might. Another bolt of Lei Ting struck, hitting the highest part of the rocket launch platform.

Shivering light from the lightning snaked from the top of the tower to the ground, followed by loud noises.

Even after the lightning vanished, faint, dazzling currents spread across the scorched metal framework.

In the distance, Shuangxin and the others, riding camel bugs, stared dumbfounded at the spectacle.

In fact, they had never seen a real torrential rain.

Within the dark clouds, lightning flared and thunder, like the roar of a dragon, echoed over the desolate desert, piercing the soul.

For them, the people of the Wasteland in the post-disaster era, this torrential rain was like a miracle from the gods.

Shuangxin seemed to realize something, her heart unsettled. She clearly understood that this torrential rain was not a coincidence, it was Lu Ban’s doing. However, amidst the downpour, how he would fight the swarm, how he would close the wormhole, Shuangxin’s imagination was insufficient to conjure an answer.

Further away, in Future City.

Lin seemed to sense something, closing her eyes, as if calculating.

A moment later, the robot girl opened her eyes.

“Extreme adverse weather conditions have appeared near the industrial park, and Shuangxin and the others have not yet returned, they might run into trouble,” she determined.

Gazing at the central commercial street where the robots had built a towering bonfire stand, Lin looked hesitant.

…

“If this storm keeps up, could it possibly return the Wasteland to its original state?”

Lu Ban tucked the radio into his pockets as he made his way to the space below the rocket launch platform.

He also took out the can holding the cat from his bag.

Suddenly, Lu Ban felt as if someone was next to him.

He turned to look and saw a woman in a white dress, beautiful but with a vacant expression, standing by his side.

“You again?” he asked, recognizing her quickly. This was the projection of the Queen Bug he had encountered in the Nameless City before.

Perhaps the Queen Bug had been born by devouring the consciousness of this young woman.

No wonder it wanted to breed with Lu Ban. To a creature that had absorbed human consciousness, extracting stronger genes, remodeling itself, noble evolution was the instinct of life.

And who wouldn’t love Lu Ban, who could grow grass and breathe underwater?

There was another possibility, Lu Ban conjectured, that the Queen Bug sensed his presence and had come all this way to be near him.

In this mission, it wasn’t Lu Ban chasing after bugs, but these bugs were chasing after him.

To witness this hallucination meant the other side was not far away.

Above, thunderbolts exploded one after another, striking the buildings in the ruins, causing those already decayed buildings to collapse completely.

Meanwhile, some of the bugs were also hit.

In the blink of an eye, those insects had turned into charred husks, falling from the sky, and sometimes the swarming hordes on the ground were scattered by a bolt of thunder, leaving behind only the pervasive stench of burnt flesh.

After all, this was just a “Small-Scale Catastrophe Generator”; it couldn’t fully control natural disasters, and Lu Ban could only rely on it to block part of the insect horde.

Seeing the girl formed by the insects’ illusion standing beside him, Lu Ban thought for a moment and opened a cat food can.

Just as he opened the can, Lu Ban heard the “meow meow” of a kitten.

Hearing this sound, to use Lu Ban’s words, his heart melted.

The kitten immediately jumped out, hesitantly leaped into a corner away from Lu Ban, and started licking its paw clean.

Seeing that cat, Lu Ban’s heart suddenly calmed down, as if he became a pure and innocent kindergarten child with eyes only for that cat.

At the same time, the insect girl standing not far from Lu Ban also noticed the cat.

Her expression was wooden and unchanged, but her pitch-black eyes, devoid of whites, were fixed on it.

“You stay here and block these bugs; I’ll be back soon,” Lu Ban said to the cat, trying hard to shift his focus from it and suppressing the urge to cuddle and nuzzle the cat as he sprinted downstairs.

Downstairs, Lu Ban quickly came upon the wormhole with the effects of a gravitational lens.

Raising the crowbar, he thrust it in.

The crowbar immediately twisted, but the feel in Lu Ban’s hand told him that it was still straight.

After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Ban did not hesitate to approach the wormhole, seeing his limbs distort like ink dissolving in water.

Suddenly, Lu Ban felt a pulling force from inside the wormhole, and when he came to his senses, his feet were already standing on a desolate land.

“…This place is kind of fierce,” he said.

Before Lu Ban’s eyes was a land paved with steel.

The steel was not man-made, but formed by the cooling and solidifying of various metal elements—the planet itself was a massive iron clod.

With almost no oxygen in the air, Lu Ban quickly fell into a state of suffocation.

He looked around, and there was nothing on the ground, but the real anomaly lay in the sky.

When Lu Ban noticed that thing, he looked up.

This planet’s atmosphere was thin, and for that reason, the starry sky was dazzling and clear.

In that profound, dark, and vibrant night sky, a massive entity stretched across it.

No, it wasn’t an entity.

Lu Ban saw an eye that had opened.

Yet from the ground, the eye was as large as a basin, and instead of a pupil like that of a human, it contained a brilliantly shining star-like substance.

Beyond the eye, there were no facial features, only undulating, writhing sludge.

Above the sludge were even more eyes.

With eyes, mouths, and sticky bodies, such a massive monster occupied most of the night sky, exuding an oppressive feeling that took one’s breath away.

Around this monster were countless more, of varying sizes, some clustering, others dispersing, sludges.

Lu Ban also saw more distortions in time and space near this wormhole.

Circling that immense, possibly galaxy-surpassing creature were more planets revolving.

From the motionless body of the gigantic sludge monster, black, glue-like viscous fluids occasionally dripped, those fluids beginning to differentiate and grow into new entities in the void.

As his brain seethed as if on fire, the grooves between his brain’s lobes swelling and shattering into ash, he realized in a flash.

This was the progenitor of those sludge monsters, a deity, an Ancient Overlord.

All those rituals were merely to open wormholes around it so that the Old Overlord’s shed fragments could enter the Foreign Domain.

Lu Ban’s eyes filled with blood, and his brain burst with a pop, like an egg overheated in a microwave.
