"Damn it! Waldo! I won’t rest until I’ve dealt with you!"

A subterranean giant elder, along with tens of thousands of subterranean giants in the base, had furious expressions, to say the least. However, they didn’t hesitate for a moment and, with a resounding boom, sealed the entire base.

"Heh, you’re lucky you fled so quickly. If you were any slower, I can guarantee that all of you would be dead!"

Waldo sneered. If they were any slower, he could ensure that he would have killed them all. In his eyes, these individuals were nothing more than ants.

At best, they were larger ants. But ultimately, they couldn’t escape their fundamental nature.

"Launch the missiles and kill this man for me! Fire! Fire!"

Simultaneously, inside the base, the elders shouted loudly.

Instantly, the Third Base’s defense systems, including various missile systems, were all activated. The Third Base possessed numerous pre-catastrophe scientific and technological advancements, particularly in weapons technology.

In an instant, dozens of missiles shot into the sky like leaping dragons. Then, they descended towards Waldo with lightning speed.

Waldo, suspended in mid-air, felt a prickling sensation and a strong sense of danger. The subterranean giant’s missiles seemed different from typical ones.

They weren’t just conventional explosives, they contained various materials similar to nuclear weapons, which posed a greater threat.

Waldo lifted his head and saw dozens of missiles, densely packed. They effectively blocked every route, as if they feared he would escape, covering a broad area.

Meanwhile, on the walls of the Third Base, numerous weapon systems activated. Beams of red laser were fired at Waldo. These red lasers seemed to be the laser weapons of this world. Without exception, all were aimed at Waldo.

It was likely that even the Snow King, under the simultaneous use of so many weapons, would be evaporated in an instant. Yet, they were all focused on dealing with Waldo at the same time.

"Quite interesting," Waldo’s face changed slightly as he swiftly dodged the fast-moving lasers. Simultaneously, as the missiles approached their final destination, Waldo was forced to return to the ground.

However, the moment he landed on the ground, his expression changed again. He sensed that deep underground, immense energy was gathering.

It felt like something was about to break free and erupt, as if there were tons of explosives buried beneath the earth, like an impending super volcano ready to spew.

Feeling the energy gathering underground, Waldo’s face turned grim. "This is bad!"

However, before he could take any self-rescue action, the next moment, an endless burst of flames erupted!

Boom! Boom!

At that moment, it was as if mountains were crumbling and the eruption of a volcano. Endless flames erupted from the underground, with a tremendous pillar of fire surging hundreds of meters into the sky.

Waldo’s figure seemed insignificant amidst the explosion, like a piece of drifting seaweed in the ocean, instantly engulfed.

At the same time, in the sky, dozens of missiles descended, causing the previously covered ground to experience another devastating blow.

Boom! Boom!

Each missile unleashed its power. The endless shockwaves swept out like a storm.

The earth trembled and quaked as if a magnitude ten earthquake had occurred.

Even the nearby Third Base was trembling, teetering on the edge, struggling to withstand the explosions.

And at this moment, within Dawn City, all the top-level figures who witnessed this scene had their faces drastically change, their hearts tensing up.

"Waldo, be careful!"

"Waldo, sobbing... you’ll be fine, you have to hang on!"

"Oh no! Waldo was too careless, fell into an ambush by the opponent. If he could have left at the first moment, he would have been fine. But just now, Waldo, in order to kill that giant elder, put himself in a dangerous situation. Who could have expected the underground giants to be so sinister, burying so many explosives here! They are truly ruthless! The Lord of the City was truly careless this time, falling victim to their sneak attack. If he had run at the first moment, there would still be time."

As they saw in the video, when almost all the screens were dominated by flames and explosions, Calvert, Silva, Alanna, Helen, and other high-ranking members had an instant change in expression.

There was no doubt that Waldo was experiencing a tremendous crisis.

However, there was nothing they could do.

Even if Waldo’s physical body was incredibly strong, it was still a mortal body. As long as it didn’t exceed a certain range, he couldn’t be immune to missile attacks.

Not to mention Waldo, even the Snow King, whose physique was many times stronger than Waldo, might not survive under the assault of so many nuclear missiles!

Within moments, everyone had a grave and extremely unpleasant expression. Especially the two women, their eyes turned red. Naturally, they were most worried about Waldo. They wouldn’t know what to do if anything happened to Waldo.

Seeing this, Calvert, Silva, and others quickly reassured them: "Actually, we don’t need to worry too much. We should trust the City Lord! Have you noticed that just now, although the City Lord looked serious, he wasn’t hopeless? In other words, this round of missiles and the underground explosion, although somewhat unexpected for the City Lord, it’s clear that it’s still within his capacity."

As these words were spoken, everyone began to recall some details from just now. Indeed, many of Waldo’s actions were unusual and didn’t make sense.

For example, Waldo should have already sensed the threat from underground and the countless missiles locked onto him within the third base. So why did he still go up to kill the giant elder?

Was it impulsiveness, or was he confident?

From their understanding of Waldo, he couldn’t be impulsive,he was very rational. So, it could only be that Waldo was confident!

At this moment, Calvert thought of another point. "Right, don’t forget, the City Lord possesses two powerful abilities! No matter how fast the missiles are or how rapid the underground explosion is, the City Lord can escape using these abilities! With a blink, he can cross hundreds of meters in an instant, and he can fly at great speed. He can completely leave this area before the missiles arrive and the underground explosion occurs. However, the City Lord didn’t do that. Why?"

Calvert paused, and a glint of realization shone in his eyes. He said decisively, "It’s because the City Lord is confident and not afraid of the explosion!He has absolute confidence to face whatever is about to come! The reason he acted this way is to make the underground giants despair! To tell them that their every move is useless against the City Lord! To shatter their will, make them utterly hopeless, and completely fearful. This is the City Lord’s plan and intent!"

Upon hearing Calvert’s words, everyone present had a moment of enlightenment.

They suddenly realized.

It seems that way.

Waldo’s actions earlier indeed deviated from his usual behavior.

But...

Alanna hesitated, her face showing a hint of uncertainty.

In the end, she expressed her worry, "With Waldo’s strength, can he endure this? How can a human withstand such a powerful explosion?!"

Upon hearing this, others nodded slightly.

It’s not that they don’t believe in Waldo’s strength.

It’s just that this explosion is too astonishing.

With such a massive explosion, not to mention a person, even a city would be destroyed in an instant.

Can Waldo really survive this?

"Don’t worry too much. Didn’t the City Lord say it himself? His Overlord Physiology ability has already reached its highest level, undergoing a qualitative change! Perhaps, the City Lord can survive with this!" someone reassured.

Upon hearing this, others nodded slightly.

Now, this is all they can hope for.

Subsequently, everyone held their breath, waiting for Waldo to appear.

Their expressions were tense, fearing that the final answer they would receive would be unfavorable.

Meanwhile, within the third base...

Seeing this scene, the remaining four elder leaders, with contorted expressions, carried a cruel smile.

"Haha! This damned surface-dwelling human is definitely going to die!"

"Damn it! So many of us went to capture him, and he killed five of us! It’s truly despicable! If we had known, we should have killed him thoroughly from the beginning!"

"Indeed, the strength of this outsider is terrifying, and his methods are unique and mysterious. I suspect he holds a significant status in the surface world. If we could gather some information from him, it would have been the best, but..."

"There’s nothing to regret. He killed so many of us. If we don’t kill him, we might not even survive to see another day. Tell me, what’s more important, resources or our lives?"

"Of course, our own lives are more important!"

The remaining four elder leaders initially felt a slight regret over Waldo’s death. This was because if they had obtained information about the surface world and the pathway to it, they could have gained abundant resources.

However, with Waldo’s death, those resources went up in smoke. It would also be considerably challenging to venture into the surface world in the future.

However, after the recent reminder from the second elder, they came to realize that, compared to resources, their lives were more important.

Rumble! The continuous explosions caused the ground to tremble, resembling an earthquake. Everything was shaking and trembling. There was no doubt that this human was doomed.

"Should we still inform the entity on the Red Sun about his situation?"

"Let’s not rush. First, let’s search to see if we can find a pathway to the surface world. We can decide what to do after that!"

"Alright!"
