Rocot: Reborn

Chapter 326

Roccod's eyes were as cold as ice that had been frozen for thousands of years. He walked to the control console of the "Void Devourer" and his slender fingers danced on the complex buttons and screens like a pianist playing a piece of death music.

"You know what? You were so naive back then," Rocot said carelessly while operating the console. "Do you think I'm just after revenge? To take back everything that belongs to me? No, that's too boring. What I want is to make the world pay for your stupidity!"

"Stop! Are you crazy?!" the old professor roared hysterically, but to no avail.

"Crazy? Maybe," Roccod chuckled, "but all this is thanks to you..."

As Roccod pressed the start button for the last time, the Void Devourer emitted a deafening roar, and the entire hall began to tremble violently. At the core of the device, a huge energy ball gradually formed, emitting a frightening light.

"Goodbye, professor," Rocot turned around and gave the old professor a cold smile, "I hope that in hell you can reflect on what kind of sins you have committed..."

After saying that, Rocot disappeared into the portal, leaving only the old professor's desperate roar echoing in the empty hall.

"Lockold! You will die! Ah——"

The energy ball of the "Void Devourer" became brighter and brighter, and finally burst into a dazzling light, swallowing up everything...

At the same time, in a prosperous city thousands of kilometers away, people were living their lives as usual, unaware that a catastrophe was about to come...

"boom--"

There was a loud bang, as if the whole world was shaking. The old professor was blown away by this invisible shock wave, and hit the wall heavily, spurting blood from his mouth. He struggled to stand up, but found that he had lost all his strength.

"Hahahahahaha..." Rocot's crazy laughter came from the other side of the portal, echoing in the empty hall, like a death knell from hell, ringing the death knell of this world.

The old professor sat on the ground helplessly, watching the dazzling light gradually dissipate, his eyes filled with despair and regret. He knew that everything was over, the demon he created with his own hands would eventually destroy the world, and he would become a sinner in history.

……

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away in the Emerald Star, a futuristic city was bathing in the afternoon sun. The towering skyscrapers reflected the metallic luster, the air was filled with traffic, and various aircrafts shuttled through it, forming a prosperous and sci-fi scene.

In the most prosperous commercial district in the city center, a huge holographic projection screen is playing a popular virtual idol concert. The dynamic music and gorgeous pictures attracted countless pedestrians to stop and watch.

"Wow! It's the Star Whispering Goddess! Her new song today is so beautiful!"

"Ahhh! Goddess, look at me! I love you!"

In the crowd, a fashionably dressed young girl was waving her glow stick excitedly, completely unaware that a strange shadow was rapidly spreading in the sky.

"Look! What is that?"

Someone shouted, and everyone looked up at the sky. The originally clear sky was covered by a thick layer of dark clouds. The sunlight gradually dimmed, and a suffocating feeling of oppression filled the air.

"What's going on? Didn't the weather forecast say it would be sunny today?"

"Could it be... an energy storm?"

Energy storms are a disaster unique to this era. They are caused by the disorder of space energy. At the very least, they can cause large-scale power outages, and at the worst, they can cause space collapse and swallow up everything.

People began to feel uneasy and talked about it, but soon their attention was attracted by another thing -

The giant holographic screen that was originally playing the concert suddenly flickered a few times, and the picture was distorted and deformed, and finally turned into a field of snowflakes.

"What's going on? Is the signal faulty?"

"Damn it, this is the Star Whispering Goddess' concert!"

Complaints continued, but this was just the beginning of the disaster.

The next second, all the lights in the city went out in an instant, and the city fell into dead silence and darkness.

"what!"

"what happened?!"

In the darkness, screams, curses, and cries of terror mixed together, and the entire city fell into chaos in an instant.

……

"Report to the commander, an unknown energy fluctuation has been detected, and its intensity is rising rapidly!"

"What?! Direction!"

"According to preliminary judgment, the energy source comes from... from..."

"Where are you from? Tell me!"
