Chapter 2825 Utterly Hopeless
Super-spiritual ley line?
Those four words made Craig’s heart skip a beat, and his eyes widened with astonishment.
Is he talking about the same super-spiritual ley line we are thinking about?
The four men trembled involuntarily, clearly overwhelmed by their emotions.
Zephyr’s legs felt like jelly and he had to lean against the table for support so as not to fall over.
The news was simply too shocking for them.
They thought it would be a secret that they would bring to their grave, so they were stunned when the subject was brought up.
Levi could clearly see the drastic change in their expressions and knew something was amiss.
“What is a super-spiritual ley line?” he asked.
“Super-spiritual ley line embodies the energy capable of destroying the world. It is similar to what is commonly known as spiritual energy to people in Erudia. I guess you can call it the energy that all the ancient cultivators in Erudia needed when they cultivate. If the ancient legends were based on facts, it will be something the Esoteric Guild and the Ecclesiastic Order would love to possess,” Dr. Erebus explained.
“Since the energy is what the cultivators use, only they have the skill to control and manipulate it. That is why even though Lab of Gods found the super-spiritual ley line, they failed to control it, and thus were not able to tap into its incredible powers. Even Sacroria was stumped by it. As the super-spiritual ley line’s energy is beyond anyone’s imagination, releasing it will be like opening Pandora’s box that will bring the world to its end!” he added.
At that point in time, Craig and his pals had no doubt that Dr. Erebus was talking about the same super-spiritual ley line they knew.
“When the men initially discovered the super-spiritual ley line, they thought they found a replacement for sunstone. They tried ways and means to open it, but disaster struck as soon as a crack was formed on the super-spiritual ley line. The few thousand men who were in the exploration team died, and all the equipment on-site was destroyed. It was with the combined efforts of Sacroria, together with the elites of Lab of Gods, and with the aid of the most advanced technology, that they managed to seal the crack and prevent a disaster.” Dr. Erebus knew how terrifying that was, as he was witness to the close shave they had. Without his groundbreaking technology, Lab of Gods would not have been successful in their attempt to contain the super-spiritual ley line.
He threw a glance in the direction of Digital God, who still had butterflies in his chest when he recalled that fateful event.
“He’s right! I was there and could attest to that. We used a rare metal extracted from shards of an asteroid to seal the crack. We nearly failed to do so, but thankfully, Sacroria was there to lend a hand. After much difficulty, we managed to avert a disaster.” Digital God nodded nervously and went on to further elaborate.
“The super-spiritual ley line has been accumulating its energy for a very long time, probably a few million years. I did a fairly accurate assessment of its potential energy, and it is so immense it could destroy the entire earth, easy. No human can manipulate and control that level of energy!”
HIs words drew gasps of horror from those around him.
It is the same!
Craig, Zephyr, and the others knew instantly that Dr. Erebus and Digital God were talking about the Dragon’s Vein that was discovered under Project Atlantis.
Their description of their findings fitted exactly that of Dragon’s vein.
The super-spiritual ley line was found under the glacier of the South Pole. As such, both the Dragon’s vein and the super-spiritual ley line could be different sections of the same thing.
Due to the technological constraints in the past, they could not accurately work out the potential energy level, but their estimate was close to what Digital God had calculated.
Levi had a good picture of the situation after Dr. Erebus and Digital God shared their findings.
In short, the super-spiritual ley line was the source of an unimaginable level of energy, and as it was too immense to be controlled by humans, there was a high risk of it causing doomsday.
Dr. Erebus nodded in agreement and added, “That is what I have always been highlighting. Inventions can be beneficial to mankind, but they could also bring disasters. The key difference is whether we are able to control them.”
“So, the two aircraft you invented were meant to head to where the spiritual ley line was? You plan to send them to the spiritual ley line, release the energy from it, and destroy the earth?” Levi asked.
“Yes, the weapons on the aircraft and its self-destruct program were all fitted with the aim of destroying that spiritual ley line. And mark my words when I say that it will succeed in destroying it,” Digital God nodded and replied.
D*mn it! We are in an utterly hopeless situation now!
Upon hearing that, Zephyr collapsed to the ground, knowing all was lost.
