Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1394 541: Ignition Stone (Part 2)

In the sky, there is a swarm of steel and blazing stars.

Thousands of starships tear through the snowstorm, forming a battle array that blots out the sky at low altitude. The Storm Missile System and Pulse Laser Sky Array weave an interceptive fire net across the heavens.

Twelve third-generation "Emperor" mechas stand like Titans from mythology, positioned at key nodes of the city walls or at the core of fleets.

They tower at hundreds of meters, their cold alloy armor reflecting a chilling light under the polar day. The massive nuclear power engine exhausts on their backs surge with torrents of destructive energy, gripped in their hands either a Vibration Cutting Ship Sword powerful enough to tear the earth or a Plasma Diffraction Giant Sword that can melt through mountain rocks.

At their feet, tens of thousands of various mechas form a steel torrent, from the colossal Planet Raiders to the agile Ghost Wolf Iron Hunter Power Armor, like a metal pedestal for the Titans.

Countless mecha operators have all completed neural connections, maneuvering giant weapons towards the battle zones.

Millions of interstellar army soldiers clad in power armor form dense battle lines along the city walls and fortifications, shouldering heavy flamethrowers and single soldier energy weapons, beneath their cold helmet visors is a silent resolve to face death.

Within Kunlun City, shrill alarms echo like the wailing of a dying beast, piercing through every steel street. Massive transport ships roar as they sweep over dense automated architecture, unloading platoons of fully armed soldiers and crates of energy ammunition onto the frontline positions.

Track-type self-propelled artillery rumbles down the wide icy highways, kicking up swirls of snow dust.

Tens of thousands of Superpower Users gather in designated areas, the Crystal Grid Energy on their bodies forming visible energy ripples.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Tens of thousands of cannon fires explode over the polar skies.

The snowstorm intensifies, ice crystals pattering against the cold barrels of giant cannons and mecha armor, creating a fine rustling sound.

Below the kilometer-high giant wall, the endless dark tide formed by billions of Abnormal Bodies finally reaches the edge of cannon fire range. Countless pairs of inhuman eyes brighten in the blizzard, tightly locking onto the small yet stubborn human defensive line atop the high walls.

The decisive battle, under this polar day in the frozen hell, officially unveils its grand curtain.

Greenhouse.

The battle has been ongoing for over half a month, countless lives lost, yet here it's as if in another world, without cannon smoke or cries of pain.

Majestic snow-capped mountains, clear lake waters, birds chirping and deer calling in the forest.

The wind whisks by, carrying the fragrance of plum blossoms.

By the Snow Mountain Lake, Lin Xian holds a fishing rod, sitting all day long, scattered on the grass around him are cups of alcohol.

There are all kinds of drinks among them, beer, baijiu, red wine, various domestic and international famous wines he has tried all, not out of curiosity for the taste, but simply wanting to understand that when different drinks are mixed and drunk, you're less likely to get drunk.

The clothes he's wearing still reek of sourness, but are wrapped in a wind blanket.

Lin Xian is very fond of this wind blanket, it was sent by Chen Sixuan, although she didn't know if it would ultimately reach Lin Xian, she led her companions on the Infinity to the frontline battle.

"Wen Zhuo, you don't actually need to accompany me."

Lin Xian speaks to the air: "You would prefer to support the frontlines, wouldn't you?"

"Yes, but this is my duty." Wen Zhuo's holographic projection appears by his side, looking at the lake surface.

He does not deny it, preferring to go out and kill enemies rather than continuously monitoring Lin Xian.

"The first time I met Zhou Wuer, he said something to me." Lin Xian recalls: "He said that seeking a once-and-for-all solution is unwise, there is no absolutely steadfast fortress in this world. To the Dark Civilization, the Foundation, to us, it's all the same."

Wen Zhuo is silent.

"Do you know your duty?"

Wen Zhuo replies: "To save humanity."

Lin Xian quietly lowers his head: "That's right, I count myself as human too."

He gazes at the tranquil lake surface and asks: "Have you ever thought about the day we fail?"

"We've always been failing." Wen Zhuo calmly states: "This is inherently an asymmetrical force, adopting such an attitude makes it easier to accept everything."

"Indeed..."

Lin Xian sighs: "This is inherently an asymmetrical force, we have never truly won, apart from fleeing still fleeing."

Whether it's Yu Bei City's high-altitude corridor, Xilan City's fortress plan, or Dawn City's three days and nights of darkness, they have not triumphed, ultimately still exiled, still struggling to find light in the cracks of darkness.

Lin Xian once had unrealistic fantasies, he imagined that his mechanical superpower truly came from another dimension's presence, and such power could affect the High Tower Civilization's extinction process.

However, this fantasy was eventually defeated by reality, even welcoming a more terrifying reality.

Wen Zhuo looks at Lin Xian and asks a question

"May I ask you a question?"

"Of course."

"Do you regret being the Sword Holder?"

Lin Xian, upon hearing, remains silent for several seconds: "There's nothing to regret, place the Mechanical Heart in anyone's hands, they would struggle to survive."

"But individual struggle for survival and standing out to save others are two concepts."

"Stop kidding, I just want to save myself." Lin Xian's eyes are empty, muttering: "I've never had the intention of being the Savior."

"Oh, is that so?"

Wen Zhuo says: "In Xilan City, you drove the No.1 Machine possessing the power to confront S-Class, you could totally have had a second choice, like leaving the blizzard."

Lin Xian chuckles: "Impossible, I can't pilot it out by myself, there's also Chen Wei, that machine requires two people with neural resonance."

Wen Zhuo looks at him: "Doesn't that precisely show, that within yours and Chen Wei's hearts, the thought of retreat has never existed."

Lin Xian remains silent.

Wen Zhuo turns away, holographic projection gradually fading, lastly saying.

"Stop deceiving yourself, Lin Xian, your heart is not human, but you are destined to be a good person."

The wind passes over the grass, leaving behind silence.

Lin Xian stares at the lake surface, and at the alert from the Mechanical Heart that's been flashing for tens of hours.

[Casimir Cavity Vacuum Fluctuation Engine has completed manufacturing]

[Strong Interactions Force Confinement Field has been generated]

[Star Dust Furnace construction has completed, waiting for 'Fire Stone' ignition]

Before the Black Star Mechanical Celestial Body, the magnificent mecha giant shadow in sight reveals only a contour.

"Lin Xian."

In consciousness, Chu Yan's voice arises: "Have you figured out your question?"

"No."

Lin Xian says: "There may eternally be no answer, our thoughts, perhaps to them, are not worth mentioning."

"Perhaps so, then don't think about it."

"Then don't think about it."

The success of the Black Umbrella Plan prompted the Black Tower Civilization to launch the annihilative attack on us in advance. If we could solve those world-class creatures and halt the process of 'Angel' devouring, we might truly find a glimmer for Kunlun City."

Chu Yan's voice concludes.

They are aware in their hearts, humanity lacks the possibility of defeating the Black Tower Civilization, yet through such strategies, they may seek breaking open the Heavenly Veil for the chance to allow some people to escape.

Yes, the unanimous plan discussed by the Phoenix Society Strategic Committee is centered on a single world-class creature.

No matter which one, as long as they can open a passage in the Heavenly Veil, it would be considered a success.

This is precisely the committee's plan, to comprehensively counterattack, hunt or injure one of the world's creatures, obtain a portion of live organism, and then use Phoenix City and Silent City's two Floating Cities as engines to head for the Heavenly Veil.

"Then we have only one choice left."

Lin Xian swiftly flies to the head region of that Planet Titan, four abyssal hollow giant eyes at this point erupting with magnificent light.

The Star Dust Furnace is waiting to be ignited.

[Congratulations, the Mechanical Heart has been upgraded to Level 9.]

[Confirm whether to upgrade to Star Dust Mechanical Core.]

The light screen of the Mechanical Heart pulsates, Lin Xian observes the text in front, his expression incomparably calm.

Perhaps he should have guessed long ago.

Having devoured and absorbed all of Blue Star Technology's Mechanical Heart, what's ultimately evolved is precisely this World-Ending Titan's...

Furnace Ignition Stone!
