Chapter 783: Chapter 743: Destroyer of Dinosaur Island

The background music that had been ringing in their ears suddenly changed.

From the original grand and tragic, passionate melody, it gradually became simpler. The complicated sounds of musical instruments and reverberations disappeared unconsciously, leaving only a grand aria.

It was a magnificent elegy about the end of the world.

The title: “Score·Doomsday·0013 (0825)”

This was not an official title, as it also came from Cloud Dream’s music department. The name meant: This piece was used for background music, themed around the end of the world, number 0013, and entered into the database on August 25th.

In fact, there were more than 30 pieces of music with the theme of “end of the world” in Cloud Dream’s music library, ready for use at any time.

Lincoln lacked musical talent, so he paid extra attention to this aspect from the very beginning, investing a lot of money and manpower to build Cloud Dream’s music copyright library early on.

This move not only prevented music from becoming Cloud Dream’s shortcoming but was also frequently praised by players.

—Of course, not in the current situation.

Players currently on Dinosaur Island, upon hearing this background music, had no mood for praise, and even wanted to drag the composer out to pay homage to the heavens.

Because just listening to the music, everyone realized: They were doomed!

Their intuition was very accurate. Phase Willow’s body had exhausted to the limit, and blood began to spurt simultaneously from its nine mouths.

Starting from the farthest coastline of the island, all the surging water and flames began to roll back in, converging into that never-ending pool of energy.

Endless water flow and countless flames converged.

However, the volume of this energy mass did not increase, but rather shrank!

It was as if endless materials were compressed to a single point by this terrible pulse.

Compressed and compressed again until the limit was reached, and then—

Silently exploded.

As if a supernova erupted in front of them.

Infinite light burst forth, and all the lives bathed in those rays were destroyed in an instant and turned into dust.

Players, one after another, lost their lives, but their consciousness was pulled high into the sky, overlooking this grand destruction from the best VIP vantage point.

This was an extremely spectacular visual wonder.

And the end of Dinosaur Island.

The dazzling light completely enveloped the entire island, and the players, in their conscious state, watched the astonishing “cutscene.”

Just when Super Tomato thought he would respawn at the revival point, he suddenly felt a strong force pulling him down from the sky.

Then he began to plummet quickly.

“Thud!”

In the blink of an eye, he fell to the ground.

Caught off guard, Super Tomato stumbled almost falling to the ground.

His reflex reaction was to step to the left, trying to adjust his center of gravity, but his left foot ended up stepping into thin air!

When one foot stepped into nothing, he began to topple to the left, and while trying to reach out to brace himself, he looked down to find what caused it.

But the moment he saw it clearly, he was dumbfounded—

There was nothing to his left!

Only a huge chasm that was hundreds of meters deep!

“!!!”

Super Tomato hurriedly threw out his grappling hook and held onto the edge of the chasm, preventing himself from falling.

Upon crawling up the chasm, Super Tomato observed that the chasm was astonishingly vast—

Starting from where the explosion occurred, it extended to the farthest end of his vision, and the farther away it was from the explosion point, the larger the chasm.

He took a deep breath, finally having the opportunity to sort out the current situation:

Firstly, he was revived on the spot.

Not only him, but everyone who had died in that explosion earlier had now revived in the same spot. They all looked at the explosion center in surprise.

This was also the second major issue:

There was only a bottomless pit left there, and at the edge of this pit, were one after another of huge chasms, all extending from the explosion center to the end of their sight.

Super Tomato had a terrible guess: These chasms might have completely divided Dinosaur Island.

But that was not the most urgent issue.

The most pressing problem was—

Phase Willow had disappeared.

Not even a single hair or scale was left for them.

“???”

“Where’s my loot?”

Super Tomato quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the Molten Mountain Dragon’s corpse, but the Molten Mountain Dragon that was originally lying there had disappeared as well.

“???”

“Where’s my BOSS? Where’s my huge BOSS?”

“Where’s my loot!?”

Everyone was stunned.

Looking back and forth, they stubbornly ran toward the giant crater, trying to find any shred of evidence.

But beams of light falling from the sky interrupted their actions.

“This scene seems familiar…” Camille Victoria said, staring at the rays of light on the other side of the huge pit, across from Super Tomato.

“It was when we landed on Dinosaur Island, right?” Shuihua also recalled that moment.

At that time, the System also awarded many players with Achievement trophies simultaneously.

“It should be the same this time, right?”

The light pillars slowly faded, and sure enough, Achievement trophies materialized in front of everyone.

Shuihua held up the trophy in front of her and saw a scene of a Moltan Mountain Dragon and Phase Willow battling flames and water, cast in gold.

The name of the achievement on the base was—

[Destroyer of Dinosaur Island]

“???”

“Destroyer of Dinosaur Island?” Shuihua looked around.

The entire battlefield had been completely ripped apart by a giant deep pit and 11 wide ravines. If not close to the center, it was impossible to cross the ravines even with a grappling hook.

One could easily imagine that the entire island had been torn into 12 segments by the ravine.

Calling it destruction was not an exaggeration.

But…

“Wasn’t the destruction of Dinosaur Island caused by the Phase Willow? What does it have to do with us?” Shuihua was discontented.

“Well, maybe if we hadn’t besiege him, he wouldn’t have chosen to sink the island?”

Lance walked over from a distance.

He didn’t care much about these hollow titles, he cared more about: where to find materials? Can my weapons still be upgraded?

“That’s just quibbling! It is clearly Lincoln’s bad taste!”

Shuihua put away the Achievement trophy and walked with Lance towards the giant pit, hoping to find some residual materials or other clues.

Just a few steps away, Shuihua saw a red glowing object in the dirt.

She curiously ran over to pick it up, not caring about the mud on the surface.

Afterward, a deep red prism crystal appeared in her hand.

The system showed her the name of the gem—

[7th grade weapon upgrade material·fire]

Shuihua’s eyes widened instantly, full of surprise, she unconsciously looked down at her feet and began searching the ground, attempting to find more of these gems.

“What are you looking for?” Lance asked curiously.

Shuihua threw the red gem at him without any hesitation.

Two seconds later, Lance also bent down and started treasure hunting in the mud.

A minute after, Camille Victoria and the team members also joined the treasure hunting line.

And soon there were results—

“Found one!” Queenie held up a green gem in her hand.

Shuihua looked over curiously, and discovered it to be [7th grade weapon upgrade material·poison].

So everyone searched even more eagerly.

“Look what I found!”

“7th grade water armor upgrade material! Awesome, big profits!”

“Master’s going to graduate today!”

The cheerful voices of other players sounded not far away.

Apparently, everyone had discovered this little secret and began treasure hunting.

“So, Phase Willow was also shattered by the explosion, and the core upgrade materials turned into gems and scattered in the mud?”

“But, how big is the scattered area?”

“Just around the battlefield? Or a larger range? Is it the entire island?”

“Are there still living monsters on the island? If there are, will they eat the gems? What will happen if they do?”

Super Tomato did not rush to find the upgrade gems, but made guesses as he finally approached the edge of the giant pit.

At the moment he saw the bottom of the pit, he froze in place:

“What… what is that?”

—At the very center of the pit, irregular fragments produced by the breaking of space enveloped a pitch-black crack.

Light constantly refracted off the fragments, making it look dazzling and dangerous from a distance.
