Chapter 425 The Situation is Settled

Bai Ye swiftly passed through the sky and glanced down, finding that the Rhine Corporation had not yet been destroyed.

Bai Ye had killed many mutated crystal beings, but a considerable number were still emerging from the surrounding buildings.

Bai Ye pondered for a moment and quickly understood.

That towering building was likely not the Rhine Corporation's main base.

It was the tallest structure in the vicinity, and compared to other buildings in the wasteland, it was clearly built after the wasteland era.

Given its distinctive appearance, Bai Ye had naturally assumed it was the Rhine Corporation's headquarters.

In reality, the building probably belonged to the Rhine Corporation, but it wasn't the location of their central control. Looking at the mutated crystal beings that had once again filled the streets,

and the numerous turrets emerging from surrounding buildings, with a large contingent of combat robots preparing to establish a defense line ahead,

Bai Ye felt a headache coming on. He had indeed undertaken this mission in his previous life and succeeded.

However, in his past life, Bai Ye's strength was not as formidable as it was now. Furthermore, the ruined city back then was not as deserted as it was currently. While the number of selected individuals exploring this area was not large, it was not insignificant either.

Bai Ye had merely been lucky to obtain a hidden quest. In fact, the war between the androids and the Rhine Corporation was a large-scale mission. Other selected individuals could accept the mission and choose sides to participate.

Therefore, although Bai Ye had completed the mission in his previous life, he had never actually infiltrated the Rhine Corporation's main base.

He had participated in the war and led the charge in destroying two of the Rhine Corporation's defensive lines, but he hadn't managed to breach their headquarters. That was accomplished by other selected individuals.

Thus, luck played a part in the outcome, as the selected individuals on the android side, in terms of overall numbers and strength, had overpowered those on the Rhine Corporation's side.

Now, with Bai Ye aiming to handle everything himself, he had to resolve all issues before the androids arrived.

This was because, in a direct confrontation, the mutated crystal beings were actually stronger than the androids.

However, the androids had a larger number, especially since more than half of the androids in the affluent district had decided to resist the Rhine Corporation.

It was hard to say who would win, but the death toll would be uncontrollable.

As Bai Ye thought, a sudden idea struck him.

The third underground facility was built beneath the ground. If this was the Rhine Corporation's main base, could it also be underground?

Bai Ye considered it and decided it was worth a try, as there was no other obvious location that appeared to be the Rhine Corporation's main base.

While thinking, Bai Ye's body exuded large amounts of venom, and he shot through the air. The venom rained down, falling into the crowd of mutated crystal beings.

Hiss, hiss, hiss…

As the venom landed on the mutated crystal beings, their faces contorted in pain.

Bai Ye's venom corroded the crystals on their bodies and continuously invaded their interiors.

Then…

Bai Ye took a deep breath and raised his hand!

The Kongtong Seal!

Jade Dragon Soaring Heavens (Releases the Jade Dragon from the Kongtong Seal for attack, duration 5 minutes, cooldown 60 minutes)

The Kongtong Seal spun in Bai Ye's hand, and two blue dragons appeared around it.

"Go!"

Bai Ye let out a soft shout and pointed downwards.

The two blue jade dragons immediately soared down.

As they flew, the two jade dragons grew larger and larger, becoming extremely thick before skimming along the ground.

The surrounding mutated crystal beings launched attacks, but they were utterly unable to stop the two jade dragons.

Wherever the jade dragons passed, the crystal beings in front were sent flying, landing in disarray. Some were even utterly crushed, their crystalline bodies shattering, their forms breaking apart.

At this very moment…

Bai Ye raised his right hand and pressed down fiercely.

Imperial Seal Descends (Transforms into a colossal golden seal and smashes towards the ground)

As Bai Ye brought his hand down, the Kongtong Seal transformed into a golden light and plunged downwards.

The Kongtong Seal continued to grow, eventually becoming as large as a small mountain before smashing into the ground.

Rumble!

The moment the Kongtong Seal hit the ground, the earth completely collapsed.

Countless fragments of rock churned upwards, the ground caved inwards, and then, Bai Ye's eyes lit up. His guess was correct; the Rhine Corporation's main base was indeed built underground.

And with the impact of the Kongtong Seal, the Rhine Corporation's main base began to collapse, screams echoing everywhere.

On the surrounding streets, hidden doors opened, and the influential figures who saw the writing on the wall abandoned others and immediately fled in aircraft.

More Rhine Corporation employees, however, were reduced to a bloody pulp by the impact of the Kongtong Seal.

At this point, the androids finally arrived, clashing fiercely with the mutated crystal beings.

Bai Ye looked down with satisfaction, his mission accomplished. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of lightning and shot through the air.

The next moment, Bai Ye appeared beside Yimi.

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Did you enjoy the show?"

Yimi was silent for a moment, then nodded honestly.

Yimi understood what Bai Ye wanted her to see, which was naturally Bai Ye's power.

This was a form of deterrence, and also a source of confidence.

Yimi had truly witnessed it.

When Bai Ye unleashed his full power, Yimi felt an unimaginable might.

The androids participating in this war numbered over three thousand, and the Rhine Corporation could deploy over a thousand mutated crystal beings.

Simultaneously, the Rhine Corporation possessed a vast amount of technological power, with all sorts of combat robots and Annihilation Cannons capable of inflicting terrible damage and destruction.

Undoubtedly, if selected individuals were involved, this would be a massive, large-scale mission.

Yet, Bai Ye, solely on his own, had determined the course of the battle.

To single-handedly decide the fate of a large-scale mission was truly unimaginable.

However, what shocked Yimi even more was the appearance of Situ Chicheng.

Yimi didn't find Situ Chicheng's appearance strange, as Bai Ye possessed the Life Crystal, and the Divine Followers would surely try to reclaim it.

The problem was that the opponent's surprise attack failed to kill Bai Ye, and then Bai Ye retaliated, completely crippling Situ Chicheng with his full power.

Yimi herself had been pursued by the Divine Followers and knew how terrifying they were. Most importantly, there was a stark contrast.

Yimi was truly hunted, and only she knew how miserable her experience was.

But Bai Ye…

That wasn't a chase; it was a counter-kill.

This contrast and difference were what profoundly shocked Yimi and made her truly feel Bai Ye's terror.
