Chapter 1282 God's Workshop
Chapter 1282 God's Workshop
As the pride of the Rothschild family's genius, her last and most core dignity was trampled into the dust and crushed to pieces by this man in the most brutal and direct way!
"I already said that."
Lin Zhen looked down at her from his high position, his deep eyes filled with absolute indifference as if he were looking down on an ant.
"Your ridiculous tricks are nothing compared to mine."
He bent down.
He picked up a silver core chip the size of a fingernail from the pile of parts.
"Quantum entanglement encryption, an antimatter annihilation engine, plus a poor-quality soul-binding protocol."
He examined the chip with the tone of a top-notch appraiser evaluating a poorly made counterfeit.
"The idea is good, but the technology is too outdated."
"Your engineers haven't even figured out the most basic energy loop stabilization algorithm."
"You think this piece of garbage, riddled with flaws, can take me down with you?"
In front of Alita, he placed the core, which she considered more precious than the world, between his two fingers.
A gentle rub.
"Click."
The ultimate chip, crafted from the hardest memory alloy in the "second quadrant," turned into a wisp of silver powder.
It slipped softly from between his fingers.
"puff--"
This mental torture finally broke Alita!
A mouthful of bright red blood gushed out of her mouth!
Her once proud and confident face instantly lost all color, becoming paler than a dead person!
Those once wild and intelligent blue eyes have lost their sparkle, leaving only deep-seated fear and despair!
It’s over.
She knew that she was completely finished.
She lost more than just the war.
It is also her entire dignity as a member of "higher civilization".
She was utterly crushed by what she considered a "native" in a way that she couldn't understand or resist—a kind of dimensional reduction attack!
Murong Yan watched this miraculous scene in silence.
Her heart, accustomed to grand occasions, still trembled violently.
Her husband once again redefined her understanding of "power".
At this moment, Lin Zhen crushed the chip, turning the crisis into a nonchalant performance.
Her fear transformed into boundless pride and fascination.
"Ghostly figure."
Lin Zhen didn't bother to look at the distraught Alita again and spoke calmly to the shadow behind him.
"My subordinate is here."
The ghostly figure emerged silently from the shadows.
"Take her downstairs and have a good 'talk' with her."
Lin Zhen's lips curled into a cold, emotionless smile.
"I think our Rothschild family's brilliant young lady would be happy to share some interesting stories about her beautiful hometown."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and took Murong Yan's slightly cool hand.
His gaze drifted into the distance.
That enormous sinkhole, in the darkness of night, resembled the gaping maw of a colossal abyss beast.
"Let's go, Yan'er."
His voice regained its unique gentleness and doting tone.
"Let's go see what fun 'treasures' our 'old friends' have left in their mouse holes."
At the edge of the enormous sinkhole, howling winds whipped up sand and gravel.
Yue Fei had already set up a simple pulley system for raising and lowering the rope at the edge of the pit.
Lin Zhen embraced Murong Yan's slender waist, grabbed the rope, and leaped into the air.
Without the slightest hesitation, he silently slid into the bottomless darkness.
Yue Fei and Elizabeth felt a pang of anxiety and followed closely behind.
Beneath their feet lay an abyss that seemed capable of swallowing souls; even the most battle-hardened warriors couldn't help but feel cold sweat trickling down their palms.
Elizabeth gripped the rope even tighter; she would rather fight the deep-sea monster again than fall into this unknown abyss.
The descent lasted for the entire time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Finally, I felt the solid metallic touch beneath my feet.
"laugh--"
With a slight hiss of pressure release, the alloy gate overhead slowly opened.
A blinding white light poured down, illuminating the platform brightly.
A wave of cold air, mixed with disinfectant and metal, rushed towards me.
When the group saw what was behind the door, their breath caught in their throats.
An incredibly wide, silvery-white metal passageway stretched endlessly to the horizon.
On both sides of the passageway were huge, transparent crystal rooms, the interiors of which completely overturned their understanding.
In some rooms, strange instruments emitting a ghostly blue light were operating on their own.
In some rooms, rows of honeycomb-like hibernation chambers were filled with unidentified creatures.
Further away, a huge room turned out to be a miniature ecological park, where several strange winged beasts were leisurely strolling among the mountains, water, grass and trees.
This is not an underground base.
This is a strange world that was forcibly shoved underground!
“My God…” Elizabeth murmured to herself, her blue eyes, which always burned with a wild fire, were filled with confusion for the first time.
She felt like a primitive who had stumbled into the realm of the gods, small and ignorant.
Yue Fei was so shocked that he lost his mind.
The shock that surfaced in his mind was no longer that of his own; it was fear.
He imagined what it would be like if this power were used for war. What difference would an army, or even a dynasty, be from such power?
All the military strategies and tactics he had learned in his life seemed so pale and laughable at this moment.
At that moment, he truly understood the weight of the word "God".
Their prince is a god!
In contrast, Murong Yan remained the most composed.
There was certainly shock, but even more so, a sense of pride and honor.
She clung tightly to Lin Zhen's arm, her phoenix eyes sparkling with curiosity, for she knew that all the miracles before her were the result of the man beside her, and would ultimately belong to him.
“My lord, this place… is truly amazing.” Murong Yan’s gaze fell on the ecological capsules.
"It's just a backyard garden simulating the environment of our home planet," Lin Zhen smiled. "The real treasures are inside."
He took Murong Yan's hand and walked straight into the depths of the passage.
Yue Fei and Elizabeth immediately composed themselves and quickly followed.
After passing through several metal passages, they finally stopped in front of a huge alloy gate that was several meters thick.
The electronic lock next to the door flashed a dangerous red light.
"Your Highness, this gate..." Yue Fei looked troubled, "I'm afraid it cannot be opened by human power."
He knew very well that even if he brought all the artillery of the Shenji Battalion, he wouldn't be able to leave a single scratch on this door.
"Who said you have to use 'force' to open it?"
Lin Zhen smiled calmly and extended his hand in front of everyone.
His palm gently pressed against the cold electronic combination lock.
next second.
A miracle happened.
The flashing red alert instantly turned into a soft green, signifying safety, the moment Lin Zhen's palm touched it.
"Crack...knock..."
The heavy creaking of the machinery filled the air.
The massive door, which Yue Fei and Elizabeth considered indestructible, slowly slid open to both sides right in front of them.
Behind the door was a vast, empty circular hall, even larger than all the previous rooms combined.
In the center of the hall, a huge sphere composed of countless blue light paths is quietly suspended.
Billions of data streams flowed rapidly across the surface of the sphere like a galaxy waterfall, exuding an ultimate beauty of wisdom and order.
Below the sphere is an even larger and more complex ring-shaped machine, like an altar offered to a god.
Inside the machine, dazzling, multicolored light flickered intermittently, as if a brand new universe was being conceived.
“This…this is…” Elizabeth looked up at this creation myth-like scene, her blue eyes filled with pure awe for the first time.
She felt a suffocating and trembling sensation that came from the depths of her soul.
Mortals should not pry into the realm of the gods.
Looking at the scene before him that stirred his heart, Lin Zhen smiled with satisfaction.
He opened his arms, his voice echoing in the empty hall.
"Welcome to God's Workshop."
