Chapter 95 (Seeking First Subscription!) Let's Turn Ourselves In

几分钟前。

Midtown, the laboratory of physicist Dr. Elias.

This is one of the most cutting-edge laboratories in Midtown. The walls are painted a pure white, making it appear clean and bright. The room is spacious and airy, filled with a high-tech atmosphere. The floor is covered with smooth marble, reflecting the light.

A complex network of pipes and colorful cables hung from the ceiling, connecting various experimental devices. Portable instruments and monitoring equipment filled mobile workbenches, and the room was filled with a faint electronic smell and the sound of machinery.

Dr. Elias and his assistant stood by the laboratory window.

"Finally, this moment has finally arrived!"

Dr. Elias wore an expectant expression.

"Finally, after so many years of research and pursuit, I have finally found a way to control this godlike energy!"

The assistant was equally excited: "It's unbelievable. You are certainly the first person in the world to figure out how time, the most common yet most mysterious thing for humankind, works."

Who would believe it? It's simply a miracle.

Several years ago, Dr. Elias first noticed the existence of that mysterious energy. Through his research, he gradually became convinced that this energy was the key to driving the entire spacetime of the world.

And now he is getting closer and closer. He is quite certain that he will be the first great scholar in human history to unlock the secrets of time.

The explosions that occurred in Central City before were all accidents, caused by his failure to obtain and open the energy field of spacetime energy.

Dr. Elias felt sorry for the few people who were caught up in the accident and disappeared, but who cares?

Scientific progress always comes with sacrifices. Throughout history, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Once they succeed and can harness this energy and unlock the secrets of time, no one will care about such small details.

Having learned from the previous two failures, all the instruments were calibrated and all the parameters were adjusted. This time would be the final one; he would personally open the portal to time and space and draw upon the energy of that miracle.

Dr. Elias pointed excitedly out the window, towards Midtown and the cloudless horizon: "Look at that azure sky!"

"I see it!" The assistant exclaimed excitedly. "Yes, Doctor, I see a miracle, I see the future! I see people reciting your name, you will have a place among all the great figures of history!"

Dr. Elias gave him a blank, expressionless look.

"I haven't even pressed the switch yet, there's clearly nothing there."

assistant:"."

"And now, the moment to truly witness a miracle has arrived!" Dr. Elias slammed the switch shut.

All the equipment in the lab roared to life, the instrument readings jumping wildly. Massive amounts of data flooded the large screen, the machines emitting a near-overload roar, radiating streaks of golden lightning.

The two eagerly approached the window, only to see golden lightning beginning to appear in mid-air!

This time, unlike the previous two failures, the powerful spacetime energy did not explode immediately after it appeared, but instead gradually tore cracks in space!

"We did it! We did it!" Dr. Elias exclaimed ecstatically. "Did you see that? We did it! The portal to time is opening, and behind it lies the secret of time!"

"Yes, but..."

The assistant looked at the instrument's readings with a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

"The portal is a bit beyond our calculations," the assistant stammered. "It looks less like a portal and more like a wormhole! A very powerful wormhole!"

It's generating extremely strong gravity; if it continues to expand, it might suck everything nearby in.

"Yes, this is worth noting down." The doctor nodded.

The assistant hesitated for a moment, then said, "But that would... the entire street below could be sucked in, and there could be heavy casualties."

"So?" Dr. Elias asked.

The assistant choked for a moment: "So...so...maybe we should consider turning it off?"

"Are you an idiot? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance to uncover the ultimate secrets of the universe! And you think you can let this opportunity slip away for a few insignificant lives?"

Dr. Elias rebuked him sternly.

"That's impossible. This sacrifice is perfectly acceptable for the progress of science; we'll intensify our efforts!"

"Yes, Doctor."

The wormhole rapidly opened, flashing with golden lightning. A bottomless vortex ripped through the air's calm, its powerful gravity transforming into a nighttime hurricane that effortlessly warped everything in its path. Glass shattered, dust and debris swirled in the air. Roads collapsed, vehicles lifted off the ground, crushed into dust before being sucked into the massive vortex.

If it is allowed to continue to expand, it may turn into a disaster that engulfs an entire city.

But no one will ever know this "if".

Suddenly, a golden light shot into the sky, followed by a giant enveloped in golden light. Before the golden light had even dissipated, the red-silver giant's arms formed a cross, and a vast, azure wave of light surged towards the wormhole like a raging river!

Specium Ray!

Specium energy can do much more than just destroy. Just as Zeta in the TV series can forcibly restore shattered space with his ultimate move, the Zestimm Ray, injecting a sufficient amount of Specium energy can achieve the same effect.

And so everyone witnessed this astonishing and shocking scene.

The giant of light emerged right after the wormhole, unleashing a powerful beam of azure light that abruptly halted the rapidly expanding crack!

The immense gravitational pull seemed to be severed instantly, and the unbridled gale was as if poured back into the void by the light. The expanding wormhole was instantly filled with the azure light, trembled with difficulty for a moment, and then seemed to quickly exhaust its power, beginning to shrink unwillingly under the suppression of the blue light.

In the laboratory, Dr. Elias and his assistant stared wide-eyed out the window, then slowly turned their heads to look at each other.

Then they quickly realized that the other person's mouth was wide open, just like theirs, big enough to stuff a pineapple into each of them.

No, can someone explain to them what this is?

A giant appeared out of nowhere and casually conjured up a beam of light—anything at all—that directly blocked their spacetime portal.

That's a wormhole!

Can't you at least give it some basic respect?

After a Specium was unleashed, Shen You stopped firing, and the cracks in front of him stopped expanding and began to shrink little by little.

After observing the wormhole and the energy readings, he had a thought, and his whole body shone brightly again, transforming into a ball of light that rushed straight towards the shrinking spatial rift and plunged inside.

A few seconds after it went in, a pair of hands even reached out from inside, grabbing the edges of the contracting crack from the left and right, and exerting force from the inside to accelerate the contraction process.

He even closed the door behind him after he went inside.

The survivors on the street stared blankly at the sky, at the location where the wormhole appeared and the giant materialized. They were all speechless, finding it hard to believe what they were seeing.

Dr. Elias and his assistant fell into deep thought.

Just seconds before, he thought he was about to master the power of the gods and make a name for himself in history.

But when Elias saw the giant who had suddenly appeared casually close the wormhole, as easily as closing a window, he suddenly felt that it was rather boring.

The laboratory fell silent for a moment.

Until his assistant suddenly spoke up.

"Let's turn ourselves in, Doctor. I suddenly feel it's pointless to have harmed so many innocent people because of this damn experiment."

"Okay, sure."

Dr. Elias nodded in agreement.

"Let me go get a coat first."
