Boluo felt extremely aggrieved as he finally, and with great trepidation, began to use his ability. Meanwhile, Chen Gu noticed a detail: Liu Shichan, under the protection of several people, remained hidden in the distance, and the Burning Tyrannosaurus seemed to completely ignore them.
Although Leder was also scrambling in chaos with everyone else, chased by the Burning Tyrannosaurus, his agility and speed were by no means inferior to that of a professional—in fact, he was even better than Glove and the others!
Is this guy a professional too? Hu Ling wondered, having already sprinted past for the second time, roaring as he urged, "Boluo, hurry up!"
Dora, having rolled and crawled past countless times, was frantic. "I can't hold on anymore! I feel like vomiting..."
Poor Old Mo had only just managed to reform an arm when a terrifyingly large foot stomped down with a THUD. The Burning Tyrannosaurus roared as it chased after Hu Ling, leaving nothing but dust in its wake.
Only Chen Gu, without any complaints or prodding, offered nothing but positive, full-hearted encouragement. Waving his arms with fervor, he cheered, "Boluo, keep it up, you can do it, I believe in you! Blast yourself sky high!"
Boluo had already planted enough bombs inside the Burning Tyrannosaurus. Since this terrifying Energy Gathering Mechanical Species was wreathed in intense flames and its temperature was extremely high, the bombs would detonate in mere seconds.
Boluo clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and buried a bomb beneath his backside.
BOOM...
A bomb exploded on the Burning Tyrannosaurus's face, causing it to involuntarily tilt its head—the bomb's power was indeed somewhat laughable to it. Then, acting on instinct, it whipped its head back, and with a resounding THWACK, used its own face to send Boluo flying...
Chen Gu was horrified when he saw Boluo stuffing a bomb under his backside and shouted with great concern, "Don't do that! Just put it on your back..."
Immediately after, he witnessed the Burning Tyrannosaurus's unintentional masterstroke... Ah, well, it doesn't matter now, Chen Gu thought.
WHOOSH! Boluo flew several kilometers before crashing heavily to the ground. The moment he landed, the bombs he had planted inside the Burning Tyrannosaurus began to explode in succession.
The bombs were all placed at critical joints of the Energy Gathering Mechanical Species. One had to trust Boluo's professionalism as a demolition maniac; even with the considerable pressure on his bladder severely distracting him, he had still impeccably completed his task.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Violent explosions occurred one after another, these bombs far more powerful than the one Boluo had stuck beneath himself. Flames erupted and splattered from the Burning Tyrannosaurus, creating a world-shaking spectacle.
Finally, after dozens of bombs had detonated, everyone held their breath, looking towards the sea of fire. When the smoke and dust cleared, their hearts sank. The massive Energy Gathering Mechanical Species still stood, unyielding!
This is bad, Chen Gu thought. If Boluo fails, that damn woman Qing Ruyan will definitely grab me and throw me over... He glanced around, searching for a suitable escape route. He'd even madly calculated that, on his way, he could grab Big Rabbit and throw her at Qing Ruyan to block any pursuit!
But the next moment, as the Burning Tyrannosaurus tried to roar skyward, its body shifted, accompanied by a series of CRACKLING sounds. Then, the colossal, hundreds-of-meters-tall body suddenly split apart, its massive chunks crashing heavily to the ground.
"PHEW—"
Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief; it was finally over.
The Burning Tyrannosaurus was incredibly formidable, at least a Level Five, possibly even a Level Six. If one were to compare sheer strength, all the professionals present, even combined, would not have been its match.
However, the reason professionals were highly valued by the major Star Nations was due to the complexity and peculiarity of their abilities. With the right combination, professionals could even annihilate an entire fleet.
"Boluo!" Leader Hu Ling immediately remembered his good brother and roared as he rushed towards Boluo.
He and Glove pulled Boluo out. The demolition maniac looked especially pitiful; most of his bones were shattered, and his face was covered in blood.
"Quick, we need healing potions!"
Leder handed one over. "Our supplies are gone, and we don't have many healing potions left..."
Hu Ling snatched it away and quickly injected Boluo.
After Boluo's injuries stabilized, his eyes remained vacant. Being blasted hundreds of meters into the air and plummeting back down had clearly inflicted permanent psychological trauma on someone with such severe acrophobia.
"How do you feel?"
"Are you okay?"
"You were really brave!"
A deluge of free yet insincere comforts and encouragements followed, none of any real significance. Among them, 'Best Actor' Chen Gu's lines were the most heartfelt, his performance spot on!
Boluo suddenly shivered, his eyes flickered as if his soul had returned. He glanced around at everyone, his gaze finally settling on Chen Gu's face. His expression was a peculiar mix: three parts dumbstruck awe, seven parts resentment. His lips moved, but he hesitated to speak.
Chen Gu felt a pang of guilt and quietly hid behind the President.
Qing Ruyan stepped forward. "Boluo, you've endured much. Rest well."
Chen Gu didn't dare to linger and immediately ran towards the warship wreckage. "I'll go check it out, see if I can find anything."
Liu Shichan followed him, her words laced with sarcasm, "I wouldn't have guessed you were such a tactical genius."
"Heh heh," Chen Gu chuckled dryly.
The warship wreckage was massive. Even after several centuries of weathering, most of its internal structure remained remarkably intact.
Chen Gu and Liu Shichan searched together but found nothing. They only discovered huge claw marks on certain parts of the warship's hull.
"They must be from its battle with super lifeforms."
After a while, Qing Ruyan came over to meet Chen Gu. Seeing the President's somewhat unhappy expression, the individuals beside Liu Shichan couldn't help but worry. We need to figure out how to advise the Young Mistress later, they thought. She's playing with fire. The President is already very displeased; she clearly doesn't want to share her 'vase.'
Chen Gu gave Qing Ruyan a meaningful look, and she found an excuse to lead him away. The Liu Family members immediately surrounded Liu Shichan, bombarding her with earnest, unsolicited advice.
Chen Gu led Qing Ruyan deeper into the warship. The deeper they went, the better preserved the facilities became. Soon, they arrived at a cabin where Chen Gu whispered, "Take a close look."
This cabin looked ordinary, but Qing Ruyan quickly found a decayed scripture in a drawer beside the bed. Its cover was marked with the symbol of the Atomic Holy Church.
Qing Ruyan was startled. Searching further, she found the same symbol drawn on a wall.
Is this... Dilina's quarters? she wondered.
Chen Gu nodded. "Highly likely. If Dilina indeed resided here, it would imply that the cooperation between the Four Hundred Braves and the military during that ancient battle was exceptionally deep. The truth of the matter is probably far more complex than later generations imagine."
