I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 2059 - 1382: Dismantling the Nails (Part 2)

Chapter 2059: Chapter 1382: Dismantling the Nails (Part 2)

After Ling informed the planetary consciousness of Qingtian Star that there was no need to exert effort for the time being, the planetary consciousness immediately buried its head like an ostrich.

It enclosed itself to avoid the unknown ahead. If the crisis was overcome, it would be akin to having slept and waking up to a new day, greeting a brand-new life.

If the crisis was not overcome, it would die in a state of self-enclosure without any awareness...

Crack, crack, crack—

A slight cracking sound arose, and the Hundred Clan army active on Qingtian Star halted in confusion: "What sound is that? How’s the planet’s reaction detection?"

Though puzzled, the army general still issued a high-alert order.

"Planet’s reaction is normal. No, wait, there’s camouflage in the planet’s reaction; something’s wrong with the ’nails’!" The engineer beside the general was the first to confirm the cause of the problem.

In the distance, a gigantic black nail rose up from the ground. It was a nail that the Star Destroyer had previously implanted inside the planet.

Such a nail wasn’t initially a weapon but a type of device meant to influence the planet’s ecology.

It was specially employed by the War Hundred Clans to transform some planets, such as making those Overgrown Wilderness planets more active while also adjusting the planet’s temperature, ensuring that such planets could provide conditions for long-term survival.

Not every planet can guarantee life’s survival. Planets with harsh environments still need some transformation, and this type of thing is a matured technology developed by the Hundred Clans.

However, now to restrain the Tianhe Witch inside the Thunderstorm Land, they’ve directly used this equipment for destructive purposes.

Having continuously implanted over twenty ’Life Pillars’, if all these Life Pillars operated at full capacity, they could directly cause Qingtian Star to explode.

However, to disrupt the Thunder Array created by Lin Yaoyao, the War Hundred Clans weren’t willing to use such extreme methods, at least not while Qingtian Star still held value.

But they wouldn’t let Qingtian Star go because of this value, implanting so many Life Pillars naturally anticipated future possibilities.

If disruption proved useless and the Tianhe Witch possibly concocted other schemes, they’d simply blow up Qingtian Star.

By then, only an empty Thunderstorm Land would remain, no matter how well they hid, what of it?

Without the planet’s support, without enough resource supplies, how would they use the Thunderstorm Land’s energy?

Bear it with their own bodies?

This was a good idea, but given the special nature of Thunderstorm Land’s energy, doing so was a slow death.

"What’s going on? Have the Life Pillars gone out of control?"

Someone in the army loudly questioned the engineer beside them. They were here to guard the Life Pillars.

Though no humans were left on Qingtian Star, many animals remained, and when the planet was in extreme pain, it would spawn special planetary spirits.

Those planetary spirits would attach themselves to the planet’s living forms, thus creating super biological entities. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Once these super biological entities appeared here, the army would destroy or capture them immediately.

The Life Pillars weren’t particularly strong and were easily destroyed without sufficient defense.

Yet now, without a super life form appearing, the Life Pillars surfaced unusually.

"No, the Life Pillars were squeezed out by the planet itself; there’s an abnormal planetary reaction." The questioned engineer swiftly operated a computer, growing increasingly panicked: "It’s too late!!"

He attempted to stuff the emergent Life Pillar back, but the planet’s overt abnormal reaction directly disrupted the internal structure of the Life Pillar.

Though this Thing could be destroyed by a super life form generated by the planet, its function was enough to redirect powers inside the planet like Earth Fire.

The massive Life Pillar, like a sharp arrow, shot out from the planet amid nearby soldiers’ gazes, flew into the sky, and as it neared a Star Destroyer, it was flung out, followed by a violent thunderstorm.

"It’s the thunderstorm from Thunderstorm Land... that Thing damaged the Life Pillar!" The engineer watched this scene, suddenly realizing, then feeling tangled: "How could this planet do something like this?"

Thunderstorm Land was in the southern hemisphere, and they were in the northern hemisphere. Thunderstorm Land and Qingtian Star had no real connection; how could it transmit thunderstorms this far?

Did the Tianhe Witch do it? That’s even less likely; although the Tianhe Witch’s Thunder Array was unique, that Formation bore the energy of Thunderstorm Land and began self-destruction upon formation.

How could it support the transmission of Thunderstorm Energy here?

For the planet itself to act would be plausible, but Thunderstorm Energy would harm the planet itself severely; the planet, too, has a survival instinct stronger than that of ordinary life forms.

Thus, under most circumstances, even if the planet itself had clear consciousness, it wouldn’t act like this, right?

"Retreat!!" The army general very straightforwardly issued a follow-up command.

Since the Life Pillars here had been destroyed, they had no reason to stay here.

He delivered the command quickly, but the planet’s movement was faster. The ground split open, and a mass of Earth Fire Magma emerged from the ruptured land, the surface of which adhered with raging thunderstorms.

"Prepare for battle!" Realizing there wasn’t enough time to retreat, the army general decisively changed the command.

The elite soldiers prepared for combat, as the now humanoid Earth Fire Magma rushed in, its mountainous body pierced by the army’s weapons, leaving massive wounds.

They were the elite of the War Hundred Clans, equipped with top-tier weaponry. Despite the terrifying Super Elemental Life Form towering like a mountain, eliminating it wasn’t too challenging.

However, when this super life form approached within a certain range, after striking the army’s makeshift protective barrier twice, it self-destructed.

The decisiveness of the self-destruction was unlike anything a life form would do, clearly detecting life signs from the Earth Fire Magma.

But such confusion was destined to remain unanswered, as the self-destructing Earth Fire Magma, accompanied by an exploding thunderstorm, blasted through the army’s protective barrier, turning everyone within the explosion radius to ash.

Similar incidents occurred elsewhere.

The War Hundred Clans were caught off guard by such sudden events, but they responded quickly; the Star Destroyers near Qingtian Star, at the risk of severe damage, forcibly retrieved the ejected or destroyed Life Pillars!

The R&D department urgently needed Thunderstorm Energy, and the destroyed Life Pillars carried a large amount of it. They couldn’t miss out.

Whether this was the enemy’s scheme was irrelevant; the War Hundred Clans understood the Life Pillars well, knowing planetary energy could hardly directly affect them.

So many Life Pillars could obliterate Qingtian Star in an instant, so to survive, the planet had to destroy the Life Pillars most efficiently.

The highest-efficiency thing was naturally the Thunderstorm Energy from Thunderstorm Land.

Yet the massive release of Thunderstorm Energy in Qingtian Star’s upper atmosphere also severely affected the War Hundred Clans’ shielding.

During this period of influence, the War Hundred Clans detected the Dusk glow emitted by Thunderstorm Land.

The Dusk glow that appeared resonated with something on the Tianhe Army’s side.

Though the War Hundred Clans cut off the resonance as quickly as possible, the information Liu Hongzhao and the others intended to transmit had already gone out.

This type of transmission wasn’t easy.

The War Hundred Clans’ jamming and blockade ranged vast; merely disrupting Qingtian Star’s surface wasn’t enough.

Yet Ling, by directly communicating through the planet, combined with a replica of the Evergreen Eye, exploited the interference with the planetary surface’s shielding to make a long-distance ’shout.’

Shouting through the planet, they sent out the relevant intel.
