Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1267 - 488: Lin Xian’s Crystal Grid Evolution (Part 2)

"Wow, Brother Lin, your newly designed battle armor... oh, mecha? No, what exactly is this?" Sha Sha exclaimed in shock.

Luo Yang’s eyes also widened, admiring the six war machines in front of him with a fervent gaze, he said: "This isn’t cover armor, it doesn’t have external folding and life maintenance systems. This is mecha, it should be smart combat robots!"

KIKI looked at Lin Xian in amazement: "Is this the new drone you mentioned?"

Lin Xian made no response, looking at her and Chen Sixuan: "I’ve built six initially, and synchronized the combat authorization with Viola. I originally wanted to test them out but everyone’s evolution was beyond expectation, so I brought them out, in case of any issues they can be used, and meanwhile, I’ll collect combat data for improvements on the second batch."

"Alright~, don’t worry, let’s not waste time, the sooner we start, the sooner we finish~ goodnight, we’re waiting for you." KIKI saw him worriedly taking out his self-manufactured robots, secretly moved but urged him with words, and closed Lin Xian’s hibernation pod, greeting him from outside.

Looking at the faces of the few people, Lin Xian took a deep breath, immediately without hesitation, he pressed the crystal grid cultivation device on his chest.

Just heard a slight hiss, instantly, Lin Xian felt a fierce dark energy piercing directly into his chest like fluid, rapidly surging through the veins and vessels throughout his body. At that moment, he just felt a wave of coldness all over his body, was about to inhale a cold breath, but found his vision instantly dim and blurred, and his entire consciousness sank into the abyss.

Fine!!

A piercing ringing sound gradually rushed into the core of his consciousness from afar, Lin Xian abruptly opened his eyes to find himself in a dark and dilapidated room, the door opened, in the shadow stood a humanoid crimson creature whose body’s edges were continuously disintegrating and recomposing, completely indescribable, staring into the room with its huge hollow ’eyes’!

A physiological sense of horror exploded in his mind, he instinctively took a step back, but suddenly realized that this seemed to be the room where Chu Yan hid in during his spiritual link with her previously.

Having realized this, Lin Xian turned around, but what he saw was a strange collapsing metal sphere in front of him, continuously enlarging, then swept past him towards the door, and during its flight, it rapidly expanded into a miniature black hole with a diameter of two meters!

At this moment, time seemed to be pressed on a slow-motion button, the walls, bricks, floor, dust, along with the cold light on the ground were at this moment distorted and attracted by the black hole, beginning to collapse toward the center.

"Is this... a gravitational lens?"

At this moment, that eerie crimson creature at the door was also quickly spiraled into it, Lin Xian seemed to see the twisted hollow eyes sliding past before him, at the same time, his own consciousness was drawn in, and then began to spin into a vortex, sucked into it.

"Chu Yan!"

Lin Xian tried to shout but found no sound could come out, at this moment he couldn’t make any response, his entire consciousness was stretched into an infinitely long thread, then falling into the abyss of the endless black hole.

After his consciousness fully dissolved, at this moment, Lin Xian found he seemingly couldn’t sense his body’s existence, no, strictly speaking, he didn’t even have the concept of ’body’ anymore, in the midst of darkness and void, he felt like a piece of air, perceiving this world from every dimension, from one-dimensional to three-dimensional.

At this point, Lin Xian felt incredibly flustered, it was a kind of panic about losing control over oneself and one’s consciousness completely, no one in the world could endure this sense where both body and dimension of the world completely disintegrated.

Is this the nightmare KIKI talked about?

No, if this feeling arose, others would definitely mention it, Lin Xian hadn’t received any similar feedback, does that mean only he encountered this situation?

"Chu Yan?!" Lin Xian attempted to shout.

No one responded.

Lin Xian’s consciousness disintegrated, feeling like it didn’t exist in this world, his consciousness was suspended in this abyss where even "existence" itself was denied, feeling neither limbs nor heartbeat, even losing the boundary of the concept "I". Time lost its meaning, space ceased to exist, there was only the infinite, suffocating void.

Unknown how long passed, just when the consciousness was about to completely fade into the void, a point of light unexpectedly emerged, he began to perceive the void gradually lighting up, finding himself seemingly appearing in a dark cosmic deep space.

Like the delicate glow of a cosmic embryo beginning to unfold, the point of light quickly spread, tearing through the pure dark curtain, revealing a cold and dead celestial deep space before him, sparse stars, distant nebulae emitting strange dark red and eerie purple hues, like unhealed scabs of cosmic wounds.

Then, he saw a bizarre scene, an indescribably immense contour slowly writhing amid the sea of stars, it was a ’colossal entity’, a presence beyond biological concept but distinctly similar to Lin Xian’s understanding of biology, drifting in space. Before ’it’, a planet with azure oceans, vast mountains and land, was like a small orange, gently rotating before the cosmic monster’s head, as if with a breath, the planet’s atmosphere would completely rupture, altering the appearance of mountains and rivers.

Silent terror pervaded in the vacuum, Lin Xian could "hear" the desperate laments of the planet’s core being forcefully compressed, continental plates fracturing in despair, a direct impact on the level of consciousness, completely defying physical laws, the colossus’ head composed of countless dented stellar whirlpools, in moments evaporated the blue ocean, turning the green lands into molten magma, the entire planet being inch by inch, byte by byte, torn apart and devoured, assimilated into the chaotic furnace within the giant’s body.

Lin Xian realized at that moment, the planet was being devoured!

What kind of monster is this exactly?!

Just as Lin Xian was full of shock while the gluttonous feast of devouring was occurring, another equally horrifying spectacle occupied a corner of deep space.

A head.

A head like a giant planet, quietly suspended amidst the nebular dust.

It was already dead, undoubtedly, the dark red surface showed decay on a cosmic time scale, eye sockets were empty pits, bottomless, seemingly leading to another dying universe.

Its massive mass formed an invisible gravitational cage, capturing countless cosmic dust, shattered small planets, and even frozen gas clouds. These substances circled it, following invisible orbits, slowly rotating, colliding, coalescing, forming a dazzling and strange ring of star dust.

Lin Xian’s consciousness shook in horror, what is this thing, a dark civilization?

Or was it the linked abnormal body creature?

Such life forms surpassing stellar scale, once walked the universe? What are they? How were they born, and why did they perish? Are they the ultimate end of natural evolution, or creations from an unimaginable civilization?

The head’s hollow eye sockets seemed to transcend time and space, coldly ’staring’ at the giant devouring the planet, also ’staring’ into Lin Xian’s consciousness state, conveying the indifference and stillness of the universe itself.

At that moment, with no warning, a beam of light appeared at the edge of perception.

Not shot from any specific point, more like the background of the universe itself was torn open with a wound, transcending the concept of speed, by the time Lin Xian ’became aware’ of its existence, it had already crossed the starfields, reaching its target.

Its target was precisely the planetary giant that had just completed the devouring, emitting destruction waves.

The light struck the giant.

The giant, asteroid belt, nebula gases... along with the starfield where they existed, were completely reverted to their ’prototypes’ under this inexplicable beam of light, from the most basic one-dimensional lines to warped three-dimensional fragments, then to shattered honeycomb-like, tearing universe space generating gravitational wave scars—four-dimensional fragments...

Genuine dimensional ’annihilation’!

Lin Xian watched this utterly terrifying scene, his consciousness also began collapsing under the sudden impact, experiencing a sensation that transcended pain, just before his consciousness was completely shattered, fully plunged into ultimate void, in that billionth of a second’s remnants of thought, Lin Xian’s perception focused like a dying glimmer on the object delivering the final blow to his consciousness, that was the beam of light fragmented into countless stardust, one piece flew before Lin Xian, shattering his consciousness, but before it was completely broken, Lin Xian was horrified to discover

The light point that flew past him was actually a metal dice!
