Chapter 3

The next moment, alarms blared abruptly—alarms that resounded across the entire planet. Immediately after, several warships in Mars’ outer space orbit activated in an instant, and ground attacks instantly covered hundreds of miles around.

As the alarms sounded, several improved super hydrogen bombs in the sky also rained down without hesitation...

Hearing that sound, Kevin Walker couldn’t help but curse angrily, “Damn it... this alarm... that’s a primordial cosmic behemoth! Wasn’t it said that only one civilization had appeared on Mars...”

Kevin Walker was a top student, so he naturally knew what this alarm signified. If he hadn’t reacted to the earlier spatial tremor, the alarm made it clear—he had encountered the appearance of a primordial cosmic behemoth.

You have to know, whenever a primordial cosmic behemoth appears, the highest-level priority is to launch the strongest indiscriminate strike.

Looking at Mars’ current situation, and at what happened to Earth, Venus, and Mercury, it’s clear that just the appearance and extermination of a primordial cosmic behemoth brings about terrifying changes.

Who can guarantee what will happen if it lasts longer? Although there are now some who say to wait, to let more primordial energy flow in through the cosmic channel—maybe that would be better, since the more primordial energy, the greater the benefits.

But at present, no one dares to take that risk. Based on past experiences, after a primordial cosmic behemoth locks onto the coordinates of a former civilized star and opens a cosmic channel, it should suffer massive losses—who knows how quickly it can recover?

Once it recovers, will humanity be able to destroy it? Or will it transform all of Mars into this kind of primordial energy? What kind of existence would be there...

“Hurry... get inside... that’s...”

At this moment, Kevin Walker was unsteady on his feet, stumbling several times, one arm supporting another person as he tried to rush into the base. Unfortunately, he had already seen those beams of light in midair.

After obtaining the Atlantis civilization, before the antimatter bomb was perfected, humanity had further enhanced the power of hydrogen bombs into super hydrogen bombs. As a top student, Kevin Walker had even studied super hydrogen bomb simulation manufacturing... he couldn’t be more familiar with those beams of light...

“Boom...” Just a few steps away, Kevin Walker and the two soldiers were blown over by the massive shockwave right in front of the base entrance. Even separated by hundreds of miles, the terrifying force was still astonishing.

At this moment, rather than saying the super nukes destroyed the primordial cosmic behemoth, it was more like the behemoth was shredded by spatial forces in an incomplete cosmic channel.

Based on previous experiences, after a primordial cosmic behemoth was blasted apart, more primordial beasts would keep pouring in through the shattered cosmic channel, but other primordial behemoths basically couldn’t enter. The primordial energy would keep surging in, changing this world.

But this time was different. Just as the gigantic primordial cosmic behemoth was destroyed, a smaller behemoth, several hundred feet long, suddenly shot out of its mouth, soaring into the sky. It charged straight at the warship, and most terrifyingly, seemed to ignore distance, instantly appearing beneath the warship and swallowing it whole...

“Separate the main compartment, detonate the warship, boom...”

On the warship, a woman’s voice echoed through all communication channels.

The next moment, the small, enraged primordial cosmic behemoth was blown apart by the warship’s self-destruction. But its death was different from those previously killed instantly. Even as the super hydrogen bombs and other weapons on the warship exploded one after another, they only blasted it apart, sending it crashing down from the sky.

“What the... what is that thing...”

Lying on the ground, barely regaining some consciousness, Kevin Walker felt the rain falling from the sky. No, this wasn’t rain...

Kevin Walker wiped his hand, only to see a blood-red substance with specks of starlike white on his palm. Looking up, he saw things constantly falling from the sky, many landing around them.

Those things were enormous, and their impact was even greater, but fortunately none landed directly on them. Still, the situation clearly hadn’t improved. Because at that moment, Kevin Walker suddenly felt as if his body was about to explode, the stable energy inside him surging wildly.

Watching as many plants and animals around him erupted after being splashed with the primordial cosmic behemoth’s blood, while even more simply exploded and then underwent further changes, Kevin Walker immediately understood what was happening.

Even just a bit of blood—the power contained in the primordial cosmic behemoth’s blood was not something ordinary people, animals, or plants could withstand. The soldiers who still had some life in them, as well as the elderly men and women nearby, all lost their life force one after another.

Just as Kevin Walker felt he was about to burst, suddenly a beam of light shot out from his chest, his clothes offering no resistance at all.

“What’s this...”

Kevin Walker stared, wide-eyed. Wasn’t that a birthmark on his chest? What was this...

The next moment, that birthmark had already formed a huge Taiji diagram in front of Kevin Walker, spinning continuously.

As the Taiji diagram rotated, Kevin Walker felt his body lighten, and all the blood splashed on him was instantly absorbed by the Taiji diagram at his chest. Even much of the blood that had fallen nearby and not yet dissipated was continuously drawn in.

The Taiji diagram slowly turned, then suddenly transformed into a series of lines. At a glance, Kevin Walker recognized them—weren’t these the energy circulation routes from the Original True Explanation?
