Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1270 - 510: Mech Janitor 3

"Understood, need to check the relevant invitation proof and destination coordinates."

Just as she prepared to retrieve the standard form, one wall of the control room suddenly lit up with dazzling red light.

Sharp alarms sounded, and all staff immediately went on alert.

"Abyss Fifth Layer detected abnormal energy fluctuations!"

"Fluctuation intensity exceeds safety threshold by 200%!"

"Source location... cannot be determined, seems to be moving!"

The female deputy captain’s face turned pale instantly, and she quickly operated the console:

"Immediately notify the ’Eye’ team to conduct a deep scan! Also send an emergency report to headquarters!"

Uther and Ron exchanged a worried glance.

Abyss Fifth Layer, that’s within Nari’s territorial range...

"Warning! Detected rapid movement of a super large life form!"

"Energy level assessment: Overlord Level!"

"Movement direction: upward! Suspected target is the Fourth Layer boundary!"

The voice of the on-duty technician sounded sharp due to panic, his fingers swiftly operating the console, trying to obtain more detailed data.

On the main monitor screen, the originally regular energy waveform turned into violently fluctuating seismic waves.

"Immediately activate the first-level combat readiness protocol!"

The female deputy captain’s voice spread through the intercom system across the entire observation station:

"All non-combat personnel, immediately go to the emergency shelter! Repeat, all non-combat personnel, evacuate immediately!"

She turned to the communications operator next to her:

"Send an emergency alert to the Conquest Faction headquarters—Overlord Level Apostle ’Eye of the Abyss’ Nari, suspected of leaving the established territorial range to enter the shallow area!"

In the midst of this chaos, the control room door was pushed open abruptly.

Leading the group was Lewis, captain of the ’Eye’ team, an expert specializing in perception, fully in combat mode as a Dark Sun Level Wizard.

"Monitoring data has been confirmed,"

His voice cold as machinery:

"The abnormal energy source is moving upward at a speed of 12 units per second.

Based on this speed, it will reach the safety boundary between the Fourth Layer and Third Layer in 8 minutes 47 seconds."

Following him was Magda, captain of the ’Recycle’ team, a female witch who had completely mechanized her left arm.

The surface of the metal arm was covered with precise sensors and computing devices, conducting high-speed data calculations.

"According to historical archive comparison," her voice carried a metallic quality:

"The last time Nari left the territory was a year ago, directly causing the ecological system reconstruction of parts of Abyss Fourth Layer.

Her mechanical fingers swiftly moved in the air, projecting a series of holographic charts:

"The energy release at that time caused a week-long ’Chaos Storm,’ completely destroying 13 small exploration bases, causing immeasurable losses."

The last one to rush in was Balthazar Ironbeard, captain of the ’Border Guard’ team.

This short and stout combat expert exuded a steely murderous aura.

"Defense deployment is already in place," his voice rumbled like thunder:

"All passages from the First to Third Layer have initiated the highest level of lockdown, thirty-two Rune Cannons are in charging state."

He shook his head heavily:

"But to be honest, if Nari really decides to ascend, our defense devices can at best buy time for evacuation."

The atmosphere in the control room turned as silent as a grave.

The three captains simultaneously turned their gaze to Uther, waiting for the highest commander to make a decision.

Everyone’s expression was unusually tense; they were acutely aware of the powerlessness of facing an Overlord Level Apostle.

Uther, however, did not rush to issue orders.

He keenly noticed the subtle change in expression on the young man’s face beside him.

It was not fear or confusion, but a kind of... concerned worry.

"Ron." The old professor asked softly, his voice carrying a hint of probing:

"What are your thoughts on the situation at the Abyss Fifth Layer boundary?"

This question turned everyone’s gaze in the control room to Ron.

Ron was silent for a moment, as if carefully considering how to answer.

"I believe," he finally spoke, his tone unusually cautious:

"Perhaps we shouldn’t hastily label this phenomenon as a ’threat.’"

Lewis’s gaze immediately locked onto him: "Based on what judgment?"

"The behavioral logic of Overlord Apostles often exceeds ordinary understanding."

Ron chose a relatively safe angle:

"If Nari truly intended to attack, with her level of capability, there’s no need for such ’conspicuous’ movement."

Magda’s mechanical fingers stopped computing, coldly looking at Ron:

"Then, what situation do you think would cause an Overlord Apostle to leave her survival territory?"

"I don’t know the specific meaning." Ron feigned ignorance, shaking his head:

"But I believe, if Nari truly wanted to cause destruction, discussing defense measures now is already too late."

Just as the atmosphere grew heavier, the monitoring equipment reported new data changes.

"Energy fluctuation is starting to slow down!" The on-duty technician excitedly reported:

"Movement speed decreases from 12 units per second to 8 units... 7 units... now 5 units!"

The energy curve on the main screen began to level off, the glaring red alert gradually shifted to a relatively mild orange warning.

The massive light representing Nari no longer ascended to the upper layers.

She started a slow circular navigation near the Fourth Layer boundary.

"What does this mean?" Balthazar furrowed his metal brows: "What is she... waiting for?"

Lewis’s perception tendrils extended further, attempting to decipher the meaning of this unusual behavior:
