Chapter 985: Condition (1/2)
Han Jin nervously said, ”There's a lot of energy crystals hidden beneath Omphalos. I didn't notice it the last time I was here. They are used for energy cannons and are highly explosive.”
”What does this mean...” Han Shuo began to ponder the gravity of the situation.
”If they explode, the whole of Omphalos will be vaporized instantly! Oh heavens... If all those energy crystals go off, there's no saying whether we'd escape alive or not! Big Brother is still inside. I fear he'll be in danger if he stays!”
”Can that kind of explosion threaten an overgod?” Han Shuo immediately wondered if this could be someone's plot against the Hegemons.
”I think even overgods will die from the explosion!” Han Jin exclaimed.
Han Shuo's expression immediately changed. He informed Han Hao about it telepathically and asked him to leave through the underground path immediately.
”Han Jin, is there a way to stop the explosion?” Han Shou asked anxiously. Omphalos wasn't like Pandemonium; it was the hub of the Fringe with all sorts of shops and many gods still there. It was important that it survived. He didn't want it to be reduced to rubble.
”Not only are there energy crystals underground, there are also stashes of black crystal coins all around Omphalos. Those crystals, given their high purity and energy-density, will only exacerbate the explosion. All life in Omphalos will be wiped out instantly.” Andrina added after some thought. But the next moment, something flashed across her eyes as she smiled.
”Bryan, don't you think we should just let the godhunters be vaporized in an instant? How wonderful it is for all of them to be killed right here and now!” She hated the godhunters with a passion thanks to her grudge. Not to mention, she couldn't really care less about whether Omphalos survived; it was but a small price to pay for the deaths of all the godhunters.
Naturally, Han Shuo wouldn't opt for that. Not only would the Omphalos serve an important function in his future plan for the Fringe, he also wanted to go after the water, fire and life Hegemons for Han Shui, Han Huo and Han Mu. He wouldn’t let their precious souls be obliterated.
Not to mention, a sizable number of the godhunters might end up serving Han Hao in the future. Killing them all would be the same as handicapping Han Hao after his eventual takeover of the Godhunter Alliance.
”There are methods,” Han Jin said, eyeing Andrina. ”We can stop it if she agrees to help us.”
Andrina was a unique lifeform with a special ability to control energy crystals. She could definitely work something out, especially while working in tandem with Han Jin.
”Jin! Why are you not on my side?” she snapped.
Andrina seemed charmed by the idea and giggled. ”Hehe, Bryan, if you agree to let me have all of the energy crystals, I'll agree to help.”
”Deal. Take it all.” He couldn't afford to hesitate now. Han Shuo's priorities were elsewhere. While it didn't sit too well to give her all those crystals as snacks, he didn't have much of a choice, especially when the crystals were good as gone if they were detonated.
”Alright. Jin, let's isolate all the external energy waves!” she said as she pulled Han Jin towards Omphalos with glee.
......
Outside of Omphalos, Tyre and Logue watched the whole thing sinisterly. Their preparations were complete.
”Logue, let us move closer! Hahaha, don't worry. All it takes is for a pulse of my soul to flatten the whole of Omphalos. This place is still a little far from Omphalos, so we should get moving for the best results,” Tyre said. He couldn't stop himself from laughing with excitement at the thought of seeing the ruins of Omphalos. No matter how powerful he was, that didn't stop him from letting his imminent success get to his head.
