Chapter 600: Bombs Are the Best Way to Solve Problems

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sirens must be having a superb technology, much more advanced than the Tannaeans, for Nasaton to be able to remain in good condition after 10,000 years, and its database to be readable after unmaintained for so long. The MDT activated the spacecraft database by applying stimuli to the cables and scanning the wave feeds, and finally found the storage location of the navigation logs. On an ancient star map, a planet named Io was marked in the most striking place, where there were six Type Ia supernovae around it to tell its location.

Undoubtedly, this was the planet everyone was looking for.

"Do you have any impression of this name?" Hao Ren looked at the holographic star chart projected by the MDT and asked the siren queen casually.

"I hope I could remember even the slightest thing…" The siren queen shook her head in regret. "But we know nothing about our hometown."

Hao Ren knocked on the shell of the MDT. "Copy the star map and duplicate the navigation log of the spacecraft. It may come in handy later. Lily, go and find out where Rollie has gone, we're ready to go."

Shaqira swam up and asked, "You're going to leave?"

"There is one last thing to do before leaving," Hao Ren looked up over the city; the maelstrom was still running quietly. The centre of the maelstrom was brewing with a hazy light. "Let's prepare the explosives on this side. Katreina, you'd better bring some people with me. There are some things I want to explain to you."

The siren queen immediately reacted by calling her people. "Vanaessa! Sorma! Go and gather the elite soldiers and engineers, we're going to the maelstrom!"

When Hasse saw everyone was going, he could not help but asked, "Can I observe on the side?"

Vivian glanced at Hasse and said, "Come if your worldview is tough enough."

Hundreds of siren soldiers and engineers quickly gathered. They were all elites who just had out of the control of the brain monster. They were eager to find something to divert their attention away from the upset feelings. Hao Ren led them go near the maelstrom cautiously. As they drew closer, they could feel the pressure the massive portal was releasing.

The ubiquitous maelstrom occupied their entire field of vision, as if what was left in the heaven and earth was only the water that was capable of devouring all things. It looked like the entire sky was being distorted and converging into a broad passageway. Nangong Wuyue looked straight up at the centre of the maelstrom, even her tail had unconsciously rolled into the same shape of a maelstrom. "This thing is...so massive..."

"To tell the truth, watching the World Gate is less intense," Hao Ren shook his head, trying to shake off the dizziness brought by the maelstrom. "The scale of this thing is just enough to make people giddy. Well, everyone stops here. It's time to witness the moment of miracle."

Everyone stopped. Hao Ren moved forward and then opened up his dimensional pocket.

A light blue space crack appeared in mid-air and quickly expanded to as large as 100 meters across. In the space crack there was a silver-white metallic glow, it was a cube with a side length of tens of meters, a surface with blue lines and a series of bright red spots. The cube looked simple and unpretentious, but people with a certain level of strength could immediately feel the enormous energy contained within this thing.

Hao Ren approached the control panel on the side of the cube and made a few gestures, the latter immediately emitted a soft sound, followed by a circle of thrusting light at the bottom, pushing the huge metal cube to the centre of the maelstrom, and finally remained steady there.

The covers around the cube opened, exposing a group of crystallized cylinders that glowed with blue light. The cold sensation was especially daunting.

"The Petrachelys has a full range of functions. Not only the main gun, but also a bomb warehouse and bomb factory. This thing has just rolled out from the factory." Hao Ren cheerfully watched the cube that was suspended in the middle of the maelstrom quietly. Lights started to flash in a regular pattern, which was the signal telling the completion of the deployment process. "In the manual, this thing is called the Housekeeping Cleaning Assistant. It can effectively clean a large area, and the power is highly controllable. Each charge tube can be intelligently triggered individually. This should be enough."

The MDT made a loud whistle. "No matter what is the problem, a bomb can always solve your problems—if one does not work, then use two. If you cannot solve the problem that means you have not enough bombs; it's a universal truth."

Lily kept a distance from Hao Ren, exaggeratedly. Mr. Landlord, I found that you feel particularly dangerous just after touching these munitions."

Hasse pointed to the cube. "I would like to ask— are you sure this thing is made by... alien or human?"

"Look at under your feet," said Vivian, holding her hands in her arms and gesturing with her head at Nasaton below. "An alien spaceship with a history of at least fifteen thousand years is lying here and you never thought that the siren is different from other aliens. The world is big place. You still don't know many things. Is it so strange for us to yank out some alien munitions?"

Hasse felt that there was something amiss in what Vivian had just said, but he did not know how to put forward his argument, so he could only say, "Surely, my elder is very knowledgeable."

"This thing will hover at this side of the maelstrom, and once we've set up another bomb on the other side, they will pull nearly to each other and then boom! If the model put forward by the MDT was correct, the energy of the explosion will be completely absorbed by the maelstrom. So Nasaton and the entire world will be safe," Hao Ren looked at the siren queen. "Success is guaranteed. However, your soldiers should guard this place for before I issue a detonation warning; make sure you don't let anything fall into the maelstrom. Also, monitor the energy readings around the maelstrom. If there is an abnormal surge, let me know immediately. I have Plan B."

Lily was as blunt as usual. "Why I don't not know there are Plan B?"

Hao Ren grinned. "Look for Raven 12345 for a 'blessing'..."

When the siren queen heard Hao Ren's instructions, she nodded solemnly, but she appeared to be a bit worried. "I don't feel it safe putting an explosive over our heads..."

Y'zaks said faintly, "Relax, the maelstrom you've got for yourself is no less powerful than the bomb, and mind you, it has been hanging over your head for months."

The siren queen: "….."

After setting up the bomb on this side of the maelstrom, Hao Ren was ready to lead people to leave Nasaton.

The spatial layer and the invisible labyrinths that used to shelter the entire city had been temporarily disabled. They rose up unimpeded from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to the Shrouded Isle located diagonally just above the city. Now that the enchantment around the island had also been shut down, the sea and the sky around the island had returned to normal.

The water was wavy and foaming with bubbles as groups of people began to resurface—not only Hao Ren and his entourage but also those otherworldlings that had just gained their freedom.

"From now on, no one is going to believe in the day of return shit," said Shaqira, looking at the aliens who left the waters under the protection of other sirens. She breathed a sigh of relief. "A hundred years of chaos has finally ended."

Hao Ren shook his head and sighed. "But it's going to take a long time for the aftermath to settle."

Groups of otherworldlings that were prisoners in Nasaton left the Shrouded Isle in batches under the escort of the sirens that used to escort him. When all had finally left, Hao Ren and the rest began to depart. However, the siren queen suddenly emerged from the water. "Wait a minute, I will go with you."

"You?" Y'zaks' eyebrows twitched. "Don't you need to take care of the city?"

"I've got the follow-up works arranged. Siren is a much disciplined species, as long as the work instructions are clear there will be no supervision needed," the siren queen looked determined. "It's not that I can go back to my hometown everyday—I know that you have the ability to go to The Plane of Dreams. I won't ask too many questions. I hope you people can take me along. At least I can tell everyone how the hometown looks like when I'm back."

Hao Ren thought with his brows pulled together. He finally nodded. "Well, the trip should not take too long. What about you both—Shaqira and Sorma?"

Shaqira and Sorma looked at each other and nodded in unison. "We will tag along."

Hao Ren said, "Okay, well, the ship is big enough."

Hasse looked at them, and he finally squeezed a little smile out of his stiff expression. "Can I hitch a ride home in your ship?"

Lily's ears stood up in an instant when she heard the word 'ship'. "Oh right! Why not you transform into the Lexington, Nangong Wuyue?"

Wuyue was startled. "You haven't forgotten!"
