Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 698: Chapter 0698: Prophecy (Seeking Subscriptions)

Gobble, chirp!

Strange noises echoed back and forth in the underground space.

Sadness!

Fear!

Despair!

Accompanying the sounds were various strong negative emotions.

The surrounding environment was transformed, as if standing in a mortuary, the smell of death pervading incessantly.

In this atmosphere, the beast slowly stretched out an arm.

Greenish-black, covered in a slimy substance, countless contorted faces of agony visible on the arm–the moment it appeared, it seemed to disrupt the void, reaching towards Su Lu.

Su Lu raised his right hand.

The arm of the Phantom Mecha emerged, the surface covered in mysterious symbols radiating a subtle glow. It met the green-black hand head-on, much larger, thicker, and more ferocious. It just took a squeeze.

Bang!

The greenish-black hand exploded at once, blood gushing out like a waterfall.

Not losing any momentum, the mechanical hand pressed down on the beast.

“Level VI?”

From within the beast, came the astonished voice of the Sixth Prophet: “Which kingdom’s ace are you from?”

The Natural Society kept records of the ace mecha masters from all kingdoms. This one was unfamiliar, and the harmony between their mecha and the imaginary space could be the nemesis of people like them, the extraordinary ones!

The extraordinary ones of the Natural Society depended on their mysterious ability and on the imaginary space.

Even if the firepower of the mecha masters was immense, and their destructiveness vast, they were at a loss against the extraordinary ones hidden within the imaginary space.

Things changed when Su Lu appeared!

An illusory figure of the Phantom Mecha appeared on his surface, transformed into a nine-meter tall giant.

With his hand reaching into the imaginary space, he grabbed the twisted, greenish-black monstrosity.

“Beyond… the times… of technology… you will bring… catastrophe to mankind…”

In discontinuous narration, a voice came from the mouth of the Sixth Prophet.

“Die!”

Su Lu did not express any emotion; his right hand applied slight pressure.

Bang!

The giant mecha’s fingers clenched, splattering a cloud of dirty blood.

After becoming an ace, vengeance became this simple.

Su Lu closed his eyes, feeling the last bit of obsession within his body dissipate. His soul fully matched his physical body, ensuring his rise to the fifth level wouldn’t have the slightest problem.

“It’s time to go…”

He had no interest in other insignificant beings, thus he stepped into the Spirit World.

Boom!

An instant later, the misted Spirit World experienced a change.

Around him, tendrils crept, forming walls and chairs. Countless buildings appeared, transforming the surroundings into a hall.

Within the hall, slender and intricate silhouettes of women stood, silently staring at Su Lu in the center.

“Tsk…Impressive… you managed to predict my landing point in the Spirit World and set a trap…Prophecy, is it?”

Su Lu directed his gaze to the core surrounded by seven figures: “Should I call you…the Grand Prophet of the Natural Society? Seems your prophecy isn’t that profound, only receiving revelation after the death of the Sixth Prophet?”

“Challenger of fate…in you, I see the potential of civilization’s destruction.”

From beneath the Grand Prophet’s robes, a mature female voice echoed.

“Civilization’s destruction? I won’t be made a scapegoat for that.”

Su Lu chuckled lightly:”Isn’t it your insane lot that created the uncontrollable Blood Wing and Beast Tide, the real sources of civilization’s destruction?”

Add it all up, the purpose of the Natural Society’s destruction of technology was still to protect humanity.

But this time, the actions of the Radical School practically mirrored the intentions of the Star Devourer Clan.

Human civilization, without having to lift a finger, suffered a terrifying blow.

“When everything returns to normalcy, we will aid humanity, defeating the Beast Tide!”

A woman prophet, clad in a black cloak, spoke.

“So…your target is the ace mecha masters and kings? You wish to control the entire human society, establishing an empire of your own?”

Su Lu’s reaction was swift, he inferred their intentions immediately.

“Correct…human beings are foolish, always repeating past mistakes…we’ve grown tired of correcting from the shadows, we must establish a nation led by us…and the ace Mecha Masters are the biggest obstacles.”

Another female prophet said, “And that includes you!”

At that moment, the voice of the aged Grand Prophet sounded again:” Morphy…make your choice.”

“Choice…heh…”

Looking at his surroundings, Su Lu suddenly sneered:” You’ve been stalling for time, waiting for the power of the ceremony to reach its peak, having long planned for my demise here. Even if I kneeled down and became your dog, I might not necessarily survive…if that’s the case, what’s there to discuss?”

As soon as he said this, the expressions on the women’s faces changed.

They were all powerful extraordinary ones. United, they could wield power within the Imaginary Space that even the major kingdoms and ace mecha masters would fear.

But they needed a ceremony, preparations, and time!

Why was this ace mecha master before them cooperating so readily even though he saw through everything?

“I prophesize…”

Without saying much else, the Grand Prophet started speaking slowly.

Her voice was old, but very heavy, carrying the flavor of history: “That which is decaying…shall ultimately perish!”

Wave upon wave of ripples emanated from the prophets, resonating within the hall.

Su Lu wore a look of bewilderment.

In that instant, he seemed to be viewing the torrent of history!

The brilliance of human civilization was ignited one after another on the vast land, slowly reaching its peak, but ultimately dimmed and extinguished.

A sense of melancholy gradually took root in his heart.

Amidst this historical panorama, rust started to surface on the Phantom Mecha and the joints seemed to be pouring with lead, making movements increasingly difficult.

“History’s cleansing, huh? Impressive …”

Su Lu marveled, as the various mysterious symbols on the Phantom Mecha began to flicker, filled with indescribable contamination.

A battle of the mysteries!

If it were any other ace, they would be severely disadvantaged at this stage.

However, the Phantom Mecha, inherently imbued with a part of the mystery, could provide some degree of defense.

“Um…”

Several female prophets trembled, blood trickling from their eyes.

This was the recoil of gazing upon a higher mystery!

“I prophesize…the mystery of the mecha shall be concealed!”

At this point, the Grand Prophet announced the second prophecy.

In an instant, the entire Phantom Mecha seemed to be enveloped in a shadow, and the many mystic symbols were hidden, unable to produce any harm.

Su Lu suddenly felt a tremendous pressure.

The female prophet didn’t give him a chance to respond, instead, the third prophecy followed:”I prophesize…Morphy…you will die!”

A prophecy of death! Instant-kill effect!

If Su Lu had not cleaned the imprint of a divine, even if the Grand Prophet exhausted herself, she wouldn’t be able to harm him in the slightest.

But now, he was just an ordinary person, only hiding the nature of the Star Devourer Clan, still within the lethal range of prophecy!

“So, it has finally come?”

Su Lu looked at the Grand Prophet, a triumphant smirk crossing his face:”Defying Destiny!”
