I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

The Rizer Clan are oviparous animals.

The females carry the eggs in a pouch in front of their stomachs for a long time. Now the young have turned into little monsters, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

Even the side with telepathy fell silent for a moment.

In other words, this unknown supernatural life form has transformed their descendants into the Dark Race, breeding them in this vast maze.

Death is not the most painful thing; if the descendants are eternally enslaved, herded like cattle and sheep, that situation is much more painful than death itself.

"Is there really no chance of saving them?" the General on the other end of the telepathy asked slowly.

The biological tissues have all mutated; there should be no chance of salvation, not to mention that we can hardly ensure our own safety..."

"Clear out as many as we can, then. How much ammunition do you still have?" the voice in the telepathy asked.

"For machine guns and the like, we still have over six thousand rounds. Four high-explosive bombs, thirty hand grenades..."

"Can hand grenades and machine guns be used?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Yes, simple thermal weapons based on redox reactions can be used. There is also a very strong influence of idealist interference here... Hence, sophisticated weapons are rendered inoperable."

Redox is a very common set of physical rules.

From combustion, to the breath of life, to many chemical reactions in cells, all belong to redox reactions.

Therefore, weapons like handguns and hand grenades could be used.

Idealist interference mainly disrupts devices based on microcurrents, like communicators, chips, and the like, rendering them ineffective.

Tado chuckled bitterly: "Actually, machine guns are useless too... because the monsters here can enter Different Space, and although it doesn’t last long, they can avoid a lot of damage."

"Moreover... We have reason to believe that its intelligence is increasing bit by bit through prolonged combat..."

"Because these monsters can predict, ordinary bullets have a hard time hitting them."

"They seem to be able to recognize them as a type of weapon known as firearms and then react in time... Of course, it’s possible that the eyeballs on us are passing the information to them."

This fact only added to the despair.

Even if the "intelligence" of this supernatural monster is different from that of intelligent life forms, it’s somewhat like an AI, learning little by little.

But taken together, these factors make them an almost invincible type.

...

Inside the Safe Zone.

Rize Civilization, Seventh Branch.

Generals sat around the table, fists clenched, their spirits sinking with each new message received.

The table was laid out with a plethora of data and corresponding theories, and around the table sat many members of the think tank.

What is called a "natural disaster"—at this moment, the Rize people had the most profound understanding of this term.

So many intelligent people had thought long and hard, but were unable to come up with a single suggestion.

They could only watch helplessly as the warriors faded away into the cold silence—indeed, they had obtained valuable data, but what of it?

It couldn’t be solved...

The Governor with foreknowledge ability, Lord Leon, was also at a loss for words for a long time.

The wise and powerful gentleman in everyone’s heart had his facial muscles tense like a piece of sculpture.

At this moment, he became an ordinary person, staring at the future full of darkness with despair... but he had to pretend that there was still hope for the entire civilization, for hope is a thing more precious than diamonds.

"Lord Leon, do we really have no other options?"

In the center of the table lay a metal ball.

On the screen, leaders of various cities were discussing in low voices.

After all, they were a technologically advanced civilization and had long since figured out how to use the communicator, exchanging information among compatriots being the most normal of choices.

"Now the best thing we can do is to observe the outside world through cameras..."

"At the same time, establish a complete dream protection mechanism. Many victims were first seen in dreams staring at that big eyeball before being dragged into Different Space."

"Seeing that eyeball should be a prerequisite for an attack... but how can we establish a dream protection mechanism?"

The many leaders in the communicator discussed animatedly.

Isn’t this somewhat of a solution?

Leon sighed, but do you not think of dismantling the Safe Zone and preparing to just cower forever?

Do you really think that the Safe Zone will always be safe?

Without solving that natural disaster outside, he, as a foreknowledge ability user, only saw a tragic tomorrow.

They will all be annihilated.

...

"The think tank in the back, for now, can’t come up with a good solution, they’re just having us explore the caves as much as possible to find more information," Tado said shakily.

"Don’t be scared, if it really comes down to it, give yourself a bullet. Even in death, you can’t be controlled by them. Better dead than a controlled spirit."

The second layer of the cavern.

Rize Civilization’s small squad.

A sense of despair permeated the group.

Even the most optimistic and resilient warriors could only think of suicide as their best option now.

They were just gathering as much data as possible, waiting for the moment death would strike.

Suddenly, the communicator of the ability user with huge power buzzed.

"Zzz…zZz…"

In the silence, it was especially loud.

"It seems we’ve received an unknown electromagnetic signal!" the strong Rize man adjusted the corresponding device, "A simple signal, it seems to come from the direction of the fork on the left, shall we go and check it out?"

The colder and more terrifying the greenish glow of the fire became.

The eerie cave also emitted a chill.

Every second spent here is agony, they were desperate for a swift end.

"Could it be that alien from the outside? Has he also fallen in here?"

"It’s not impossible... but it could also be a trap... This is just the simplest of electromagnetic waves."

"It can’t get any worse than it is now, no matter what we encounter, death is simply the best outcome. I hope everyone takes their own life before losing control. It’s better to die than to become a monster."

"Brothers, don’t fear death! Death is just another form of rebirth!"

The "Healer" holding the "resin" in his hand was in a similarly terrible state, as the captain, his willpower was also the strongest, continually comforting the many team members.

As the resin burned, that clump of blood wrapped inside began to "twitch."

It wriggled like tadpoles, as if it could burst free at any time.

No one knew what that blood was... But there was always a great horror brewing in their minds.

To release this drop of blood would brew a greater disaster.

But at this moment, they couldn’t worry about that anymore, the group supported each other, slowly heading towards the direction of the emanating electromagnetic signals.

The thick fog was impenetrable; the flashlight could not illuminate more than two meters ahead before everything became invisible again.

Only that one Rize person with the Eagle Eye ability could barely make out a little further ahead.

Everywhere around them lay enemies lurking in wait. If not for this clump of resin, they might have gone mad many times over.

The Eagle Eye ability user, at the end of the fork, saw a terrifying red glow.

"Stop! What is that?"

His companions noticed the shock and astonishment on his face, listening to the increasingly urgent flow of air.

"Eagle Eye?"

"Keep your voices down."

Eagle Eye ability user strained his sight, his eyes splitting with effort, finally making out the appearance of the terrifying red glow... Good God, what kind of monster is this?

A fight among monsters?!

His heart pounded violently, and he trembled with fright.

The silhouettes in those caverns might be a dozen or more, all transformed from their own people. But among them was an outcast with the head of a donkey, its eyes emitting a red glow like molten lava, continuously splashing outward.

A fierce confrontation ensued.

"Eagle Eye, what do you see?"

"It seems there’s a variable!"
