Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!-Chapter 828 - 827: The trouble has gotten bigger!!

Although the Little Fire Dragon showed great strength, Fang Zheng didn’t let it follow him and fight all the way.

The reason is simple, the Little Fire Dragon’s attack power was too strong, and Fang Zheng couldn’t find any usable parts at all! It was a waste of effort!

So Fang Zheng used the Little Fire Dragon as his secret weapon, carrying it on his back while he and Iona were responsible for crossfire — by the way, Iona as a Fleet Girl, was also quite skilled in shooting. However, Fang Zheng noticed that she didn’t like using rifles or sniper rifles, but often carried a grenade launcher around instead...

Maybe that’s some kind of occupational habit?

Anyway, with the cooperation of the two of them and a dragon, all those invading Forerunner Guardians were basically wiped out, and Fang Zheng discovered that these Forerunner Guardians could be categorized as follows.

One type looks human, carrying guns and firing BIUBIU wildly.

Another type looks like a dog, but can climb walls like an Alien. The first time Fang Zheng encountered this thing, it suddenly jumped down from the wall, scaring the Little Fire Dragon.

Additionally, there’s the kind with two large electric fans buzzing around like flies. These don’t have direct attack power but can repair other Forerunner Guardians’ injuries and even create shields. Quite annoying, and when encountering something like this... Fang Zheng just let the Little Fire Dragon drool on it directly.

But for Fang Zheng, the greatest benefit gained along the way wasn’t the Little Fire Dragon suddenly breaking through and mastering supreme skills, but rather the weaponry and technology of these Forerunners!

If Fang Zheng thought human weapons were weak with insufficient ammunition, and Star Alliance weapons were uncomfortable to use, then the Forerunner weapons were exactly what he was looking for. These Forerunner weapons appeared to be composed of several black geometric shapes connected and combined, with their slender, heavy, and straight-line-filled appearance looking very cool.

Moreover, the ammunition used by these Forerunners is different from others. Humans still use gunpowder, the Star Alliance uses plasma, but the Forerunners use — light!

Yes, light!!

This was the conclusion Nymph told Fang Zheng after analyzing the weapon in his hand, and it practically made Fang Zheng’s eyes pop out of their sockets.

According to Nymph, the Forerunners have a technique that can "solidify" light. Using this technique, the Forerunners can use light not only as ammunition but also as melee weapons, for building bridges, repairing roads, creating shields, and various other purposes!

After listening to Nymph’s explanation, Fang Zheng was already astonished by the Celestial Beings. The ability to materialize light was only slightly inferior to the Third Magic. Even in the mysterious magic of the Main World, there was nothing that could use materialized light so extensively!

So Fang Zheng decisively ordered Nymph, ignoring human technology and disregarding Star Alliance data, but the "hard light" technology of the Forerunners must be obtained!

Of course, during this journey, Fang Zheng was still racing against time, rushing towards the Chief Officer’s location, but the Chief Officer was even a bit faster than them, and he kept darting through various teleportation gates, making it hard for Fang Zheng to lock down his position.

And the closer they got to the core, the fiercer the resistance encountered by Fang Zheng’s group became.

"These damn guardians..."

Hiding behind the photon barrier, watching those Forerunner Guardians pouring ammunition towards him madly, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but complain. Honestly, if he could, he didn’t want to waste time here, yet the Chief Officer was charging inward, and not only that, he had shut down the light beam firing array, causing Nymph’s control over Shield World to become unstable, in this situation...

Forget it, better just tell him directly.

With this thought, Fang Zheng opened his personal terminal again.

"Calling the Chief Officer, can you hear me?"

"What’s up?"

Soon, Fang Zheng heard the Chief Officer’s response from the other side, accompanied by the sound of gunfire and explosions.

"We need to leave this planet as soon as possible; there’s a very dangerous thing trapped here... Do you get my meaning?"

"A very dangerous thing?"

"A trapped Forerunner! It’s quite dangerous! And it’s right in here; I think we should retreat immediately, not delve any deeper!"

"Forerunner?!"

At this moment, Cortana popped out again.

"How do you know these things? Who exactly are you?"

"We’re just passersby, whether you believe it or not, at least I do."

Fang Zheng didn’t feel like explaining anything to Cortana.

"Anyway, I hope you stop going further and retreat immediately!"

"No."

But soon, the Chief Officer denied Fang Zheng’s proposal.

"The Star Alliance is also looking for that thing; whatever the Star Alliance intends to do, I must stop them. Since that thing is so dangerous, I’ll destroy it with my own hands!"

"Hey, don’t..."

However, before Fang Zheng could finish his sentence, he heard the Chief Officer hang up the communication, leaving Fang Zheng utterly baffled.

You’re the protagonist, man! If you don’t go, there’d be no issue; if you go, there’s definitely trouble!

"Ah... what a hassle!"

Fang Zheng complained once, then directly tossed aside the rifle in his hand, grabbing the Little Fire Dragon climbing onto his shoulder. He held the Little Fire Dragon’s upper body with his left hand, gripping its hind legs with his right hand, aiming forward.

"Little guy, fire!"

"Yaa yaa!!"

Hearing Fang Zheng’s command, the Little Fire Dragon let out two cries, then opened its mouth, and a fireball suddenly shot out from its mouth, flying forward. With a colossal boom, the Forerunner Guardians in front of them were blasted into fragments. Then Fang Zheng swung the Little Fire Dragon onto his shoulder again, charging forward with Iona.

Once inside this base, they could reach the core!

"Master!"

At this moment, Nymph’s voice suddenly sounded again in Fang Zheng’s ear.

"The Chief Officer has reached the prison, the Star Alliance Warrior and Forerunner Guardians are in a melee; he’s going to charge in... the console has been activated, the seal is about to be lifted!"

"——————!!"

Just then, Fang Zheng suddenly felt a tremor beneath his feet. With a rumbling like muffled thunder, the entire ground seemed to shudder for a moment. Immediately, without needing Nymph to say more, Fang Zheng could feel a strong energy reaction gradually emerging nearby underground...

"Damn it, I knew nothing good would come of this! Iona, hurry, let’s rush!!"

So Fang Zheng picked up the pace with Iona, quickly rushing into the passage, and as they passed through it and reached the corridor’s end hall, Fang Zheng already saw Forerunner Guardians and Star Alliance Soldiers lying all around, while the Chief Officer was also down on the ground. At the same time, in front of Fang Zheng, a giant black metal sphere was slowly ascending, seemingly ready to leave.

No escape, not happening!!

"Lock of Heaven!!"

With Fang Zheng’s summoning, chains appeared out of thin air, tightly wrapping around the giant black sphere, forcibly stopping its further movement. Meanwhile, Fang Zheng sprinted forward, taking a leap, and the next moment, the enormous Time Dragon appeared, opening its mouth and aiming at the giant black sphere.

"Die, Breath of Banishment!"

The breath, turbulent with the flow of time, burst from Fang Zheng’s mouth, instantly engulfing the black sphere completely.
