Chapter 425 Spaceship !
The scene that met their eyes was one of utter bewilderment. It was as though they had just pried open a colossal metal structure, unleashing a seismic event.
The resulting explosion echoed through the vast expanse, transforming the once crystal-clear sea into a murky, swirling turmoil. The settling silt obscured their vision for an extended moment, but gradually cleared to reveal a scene of devastation. The metal structure had been blasted apart, and the seabed was littered with debris. In the distance, they could see a plume of smoke rising from the water.
They had no idea what had just happened, but they knew that it was something big.
The structural integrity unquestionably gave way, unveiling a colossal void that spanned well beyond 100 meters in breadth and ascended to towering heights of at least 70 to 80 meters. The expanse was of such magnitude that it could have effortlessly engulfed an entire city block, rendering it a mere morsel within the vastness. Its sheer dimensions and unfathomable depth were nothing short of stupefying, leaving one to ponder in amazement at the very notion of its creation. The cavernous expanse defied the limits of imagination, a testament to forces and technologies far beyond mortal comprehension.
Furthermore, the outlines of the opening were uneven, strewn with fractured pieces of metal mixed in with mud and stone. At this vital juncture, Bawang pleaded with the master, saying, "Master, you must see this!"
Liu Yong spurred into action, initiated the activation of his third-party vision, allowing his gaze to encompass the entirety of the scene before him. Within the scope of this comprehensive view, he beheld both the formidable presence of Bawang and the expansive, awe-inspiring cavity that stretched out before him—a cavernous breach of such staggering proportions that it presented Overlord with an unobstructed gateway into the heart of the spaceship.
Without delay, Overlord proceeded to offer a detailed and comprehensive recapitulation of the recent events, meticulously recounting the unfolding narrative to Liu Yong. This entailed the riveting tale of the gradual revelation of the cavernous breach, delving into the circumstances and intricacies surrounding its discovery.
Liu Yong processed the information and elucidated, "Bawang, this location was originally compromised, concealed beneath layers of compact mudstone. Your efforts cleared away some of the accumulated sediment, ultimately leading to the dislodgment of that immense metal fragment, causing the subsequent collapse and the formation of this colossal hole."
Overlord absorbed this revelation with keen interest, his excitement palpable. "Master, does this mean I can enter the spaceship through this breach and explore its interior?"
The mere notion of stepping into the spaceship ignited a profound sense of curiosity within Overlord, one that seemed limitless in its scope. Over the course of Liu Yong's prior expeditions into the vessel, Overlord had nurtured a fervent longing to partake in this exploration firsthand. Yet, the narrow confines of previous entry points had perpetually denied it this privilege. However, the expansive breach now revealed before them presented a tantalizing prospect that beckoned with the allure of undiscovered wonders.
Liu Yong recognized the low risk associated with entering the spaceship through this breach, given that the interior equipment had long ceased functioning. He also held his own aspirations to unearth potential treasures within. He granted Overlord the permission it sought, and joyously, Overlord embarked on its journey into the enigmatic depths of the spaceship.
As Overlord ventured forth, it soon found itself in an expansive chamber, its size dwarfing even the colossal creature. Both master and servant were awestruck by the sheer grandeur that greeted them.
Never in their wildest dreams had they anticipated such a spacious interior—a chamber spanning dozens of football fields in area and rising over three hundred meters in height. It was a stupefying revelation, one that underscored the true magnitude of the spaceship.
Liu Yong surmised that this immense chamber was likely just one of many within the spacecraft, highlighting the enormity of the vessel itself. Indeed, even Bawang, with its substantial size, appeared diminutive in the face of this cavernous expanse.
Yet the sensation went beyond mere size—it was an overwhelming spiritual revelation, indescribable by words alone. Only by being within the space could one fully appreciate its profound impact.
After a prolonged moment of reflection, Liu Yong broke the silence. "Overlord, this chamber is but one among many within the spaceship, and it appears to be laden with numerous objects."
Overlord, now fully attentive, turned its gaze to the surroundings. The chamber was predominantly filled with an abundance of gray-black, cylindrical metal bars, each measuring about a meter in diameter and some fifty meters in length.
Although these bars would weigh over three hundred tons each if constructed from standard steel, their gray-black composition, possessing a significantly lower density, reduced their weight to approximately one hundred tons per piece.
The chamber was teeming with these metal bars, with the quantities numbering in the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, or even millions—an incomprehensible multitude that left them utterly flabbergasted.
Liu Yong ventured a more precise conjecture, concluding that the spaceship was unlikely a war vessel, but rather a transport or mining craft. A battleship would house a diverse array of weapons, such as fighter planes and combat robots, as opposed to an abundance of metallic resources.
Yet the sight of such perfectly arranged, gigantic metal bars evoked an awe-inspiring spectacle.
"Too immense," they muttered in unison, overwhelmed by the grandeur of the space they found themselves in.
The Overlord, still captivated by its surroundings, ventured to pick up one of the metal bars, its movements revealing the object's unexpected lightness. It equated the bar's size to that of its formidable giant spear, yet marveled at the significant disparity in weight.
"Master, this bar, though similar in dimensions to my giant spear, is remarkably lighter. I find myself partial to my beloved spear, which surpasses two hundred tons in weight," Overlord confided.
With a nod, Liu Yong concurred, his attention never wavering from the panoramic view provided by his third-party vision.
But then, a new discovery seized his focus. Beyond the plethora of gray-black metal bars, a smaller collection of cylindrical, jet-black metal bars occupied a secluded corner of the chamber. Each of these bars measured approximately ten meters in length and half a meter in diameter, though their numbers were notably fewer.
Overlord, now brimming with curiosity, embarked on another exploration, reaching out to grasp one of these enigmatic bars. Its initial expectations were drastically exceeded as the object revealed an astonishing weight—far heavier than anticipated.
"Master, this metal bar is exceptionally heavy, weighing at least twenty tons, possibly even thirty," Overlord exclaimed, taken aback by the unexpected heft.
Liu Yong, equally astounded, couldn't help but respond in disbelief. "What an astonishing revelation! The dimensions—half a meter in diameter and ten meters in length—should warrant a weight closer to fifteen tons, yet it surpasses even thirty tons."
Bearing the weight of the mysteries that enshrouded their recent revelations, the two companions found themselves teetering on the edge of an extraordinary odyssey. With a profound sense of anticipation, they readied themselves to delve deep into the recesses of the colossal and enigmatic spaceship, where untold secrets awaited their inquisitive minds to uncover and illuminate.
