As the Teleportation Gate at the entrance thundered and collapsed, stirring up a chaotic spatial tide, Su Chen’s figure moved as if through uncontested territory, charging straight into the ruins of Elemental City.

HUMMM!

His Telekinesis Threads spread out like a spiderweb, rapidly unfurling as they were bolstered by the powerful amplification of his True Spirit Dominating Armor. In an instant, his Perception pierced through two layers of collapsed rock walls, seeping into one inner chamber after another.

At the same time, the figures of over a hundred laborers inside were rendered in perfect detail, projected into his mind.

Several hundred meters ahead, multiple heavy engineering machines were still running. A cold glint flashed in Su Chen’s eyes as he lightly raised his right hand. A sharp Wind Blade erupted from his gauntlet, wreathed in crackling electricity, and instantly blew the machines to pieces.

Guided by his Telekinesis, the Wind Blade flew like a four-bladed boomerang. On its return path, it carved through the figures standing behind the machinery.

Before the aftershocks even settled, he had already charged deeper into the facility.

Over a dozen heavily armored guards were gathered here, using cover to organize a counterattack.

But a single Telekinesis Shell, infused with the power of Flame Burst, shot out in an instant. It carved a trench in the ground as it flew, pulverizing a swath of enemies and their barricades into a slurry of blood and gore.

Through the dust and smoke, his figure flickered and phased directly into the warehouse behind them.

HUMMM!

As his domineering presence erupted, the weak-willed laborers all around had their minds overwhelmed and collapsed on the spot. As for the nearby Summoned Beasts and hired demonic creatures, they were crushed by a wide-area Gravity Skill and flattened into a bloody paste.

Wandering Dragon.

Su Chen was on a one-man rampage.

No one could stop the rhythm of his assault.

‘The Soul Pocket is almost full,’ Su Chen sighed to himself. During the attack on Lorentz Manor, he had already stuffed three Magic Guide Crystal Pillars and a sealed treasure chest inside.

Now, in a flash, he used his Telekinesis to grab a damaged Magical Doll, a Synthetic Alchemy Platform in decent condition, and the wreckage of an Elemental Sentry, stuffing them all into his Soul Pocket.

Of course, he also scavenged plenty of intact components.

‘I should destroy the rest.’

He had no intention of leaving most of the wreckage for the Olan People to study.

If they sought help from a Demon Monarch, they might be able to quickly reactivate the salvaged components. Not to mention, the Rune structure known as the “Mercenary Camp” offered the option to hire goblin researchers.

Those crafty little creatures also dabbled in Elemental Magic Guide technology and could help tinker with all sorts of weapons.

When he returned to Dongfu City, Su Chen would have to make a trip to the new city hub.

Just then, the shadows in a corner rippled.

With his Resonance Perception, her figure, hidden beyond the plane of reality, was clearly outlined.

“It’s me.”

A low, husky voice came through his earpiece. The female agent, codenamed “Night Owl,” emerged from the Void. Her expression was unreadable beneath her full-face battle armor.

“I have a Soul Pocket Rune. I’ll take some things for Dongfu City to study.” She had given him a heads-up beforehand, but to avoid friendly fire, she had first slipped into the rifts of reality.

Truth be told, she had been secretly observing his destructive power.

Judging by his rank of 18th on the personal contribution leaderboard, she was keenly aware of the significant gap in their strength. After all, she could only rely on stealth to get in, whereas he could just brazenly walk right through the front door.

Soon, after they had finished picking through everything, the remaining pile of wrecked components, along with some excavated Magic Guide Crystal Pillars, was burned to ashes.

Su Chen’s consciousness swept forward, discovering an inverted pyramid deep underground.

It was constructed entirely from an unknown white obsidian-like material, its tip pointing downward, plunging deep into the core of the ley lines.

The body of the pyramid was now tilted and crisscrossed with cracks, as if it had been torn apart from within by some immense force.

‘A Mage Tower?’

Su Chen rushed over immediately, killing the numerous hidden personnel in the area along the way.

At the same time, the Unsealing Key he carried grew slightly warm, pointing down toward the base of the pyramid.

With a thought, he sent out a slender thread of pure Telekinesis, attempting to perceive the internal structure. But as it delved into a descending corridor, the thread was silently and completely disintegrated.

It wasn’t severed, but erased, almost on a conceptual level of existence.

A faint pang of pain shot through his mind.

“Don’t get any closer.”

A woman’s voice spoke from beside him. “They triggered a lingering trap inside during their archaeological dig. It’s more extreme than energy Annihilation—something like a conceptual erasure. Even people who tried to phase through the rifts in reality to get past it died.”

‘That makes sense.’

The splendor of the old Elemental City far surpassed that of their current cities. Even after suffering a cataclysm, its remnants were not something they could fully comprehend or control.

‘No need to rush, then,’ Su Chen sighed to himself.

The Unsealing Key could open any sealed door in the world, but its power was limited to guidance; it didn’t have any feature that would help him get past the dangers inside.

Good things come to those who wait.

“Time to wrap up and go. You should leave first,” Su Chen reminded her.

“Understood.”

The female agent didn’t say more. With a brief acknowledgment, she immediately vanished into the Void to retreat.

Su Chen, meanwhile, narrowed his eyes. A surging, brownish-yellow energy suddenly emanated from his body, and even his pupils took on an earthy glow.

Resonance flared again.

His mind sank deep into the earth, synchronizing with its geological structure.

With his new Resonance IV ability, he could not only sense the pulsation of the Elements but could also dominate his environment through deep attunement. He could even raise or lower the activation threshold for a specific Element within a localized area.
