Chapter 634 Probability of 23
Hearing Lin Mo's shout, everyone gathered around.
Has anyone discovered the demon race's spatial wormhole?
Kyle, Fendona, Thorin, and Grom, who were on Adis's back, had just steadied themselves when they heard this and were all taken aback, glancing around.
The bottom of the pit was still churning with scorching air currents. Broken rocks, black crystals, and half-melted metal structures were mixed together, and there was no trace of the space wormhole.
Thorin wiped the dust off his face and said gruffly, "Didn't see it. The explosion was too severe; the crater is barely recognizable. Where would a wormhole come from?"
Warwick and Bahrain exchanged a glance, looking puzzled.
Ed was the first to react, his brows furrowing as he said in a deep voice:
"no."
"There is no spatial fluctuation in the entire area."
"What's wrong?" Balin asked.
"What's wrong with wormholes?"
Lin Mo did not answer immediately, but instead scanned the fifteen seventh-tier experts, speaking at an extremely fast pace:
"When you used your domain to confirm the Demon God's location, did you sense the existence of a spatial wormhole?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yes, deep within this dungeon," said an elven elder.
"At that time, the Demon race was still transporting troops through wormholes, and the fluctuations were very obvious."
Another seventh-tier Divine Human spoke up:
Yes, and it's quite obvious.
"That spatial fluctuation has been near the core area of the underground city. When we locked onto the demon god's aura just now, it wasn't far from the wormhole."
Lin Mo's heart sank, and he said:
"Everyone, when we were clearing space wormholes on Terra, we already verified one thing: space wormholes can only be destroyed from the opening end, and cannot be destroyed by explosion from the receiving end."
"At that time, Lord Ryze of the Holy Human race put in a lot of effort to clear all the wormholes on Terra one by one."
Kyle nodded slightly, clearly recalling the incident as well:
"That's right, the structure of the spatial portal is very special; it can be seen, but it cannot be touched."
"Therefore, the only way to dismantle it is through magic, by using space itself."
Lin Mo said:
"That's right, but now, the wormhole is gone."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. The wind rushed down from the collapsed pit, whipping up ice shards that hit everyone's faces.
A seventh-tier Divine Human stepped forward, his silver-white robes swaying slightly in the dim light, and looked at Lin Mo with a solemn gaze:
"Holy Son, do you mean... the Demon God didn't die, but escaped back to the Demon Realm through the wormhole and then closed the passage from the opening end?"
"This is one of three possibilities," Lin Mo said, holding up three fingers.
"The first scenario is that when the antimatter bomb detonates, the annihilation reaction destroys both the wormhole itself and the demon god simultaneously."
"Antimatter will annihilate all matter. If the medium that sustains the wormhole is also made of matter, it is theoretically possible that it could be wiped out on the spot."
He withdrew one finger.
"The second possibility is that the demon escaped into a wormhole just before the explosion, and the wormhole was subsequently annihilated by antimatter."
Take one back.
"The third possibility is that after the demon god escaped, it actively closed the wormhole from the opening end."
He paused, then uttered his final words:
"In other words, there's only a one-third chance that the demon god is dead, and a two-thirds chance that it escaped."
Bahrain couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his warhammer into the ground and cursed as he spoke:
"Damn it, this demon god is incredibly resilient!"
"Even with antimatter bombs devastating the area, is there still a 20%... no, a 30% chance of survival?"
"One-third," Ed corrected.
Bahrain glared:
"Is that the point? Don't argue with me!"
Lin Mo remained silent, letting out a sigh in his heart.
He still has three nuclear bombs in his spatial ring.
The original plan was to wait until the antimatter bombs cleared the area before dropping nuclear bombs into the wormhole to directly bombard one side of the Demon race's homeworld.
After all, it's only polite to reciprocate.
He never expected the explosion to destroy the wormhole itself.
But now, the wormhole is gone.
This retaliatory measure was naturally no longer an option.
Silence spread through the ruins, and the mood of the crowd visibly soured.
The continuous high-intensity battles, the exhaustion of mental and physical strength, coupled with the judgment that "the demon god may still be alive," all poured cold water on everyone's hopes.
Lin Mo glanced at everyone's expressions and encouraged them:
"Don't be discouraged, everyone."
Everyone looked up at him.
"Looking at it from another angle, we beat an eighth-tier peak demon god to the point of losing half its life, and we still chased after it. Even if it didn't die, it definitely wouldn't dare to come back anytime soon."
"This is already a victory. Apart from the final battle on Terra, we've never achieved anything like this before."
Bahrain paused for a moment, then grinned:
"That's true! Even if that bastard is alive, he'll probably be lying there for a long time. Whether he'll dare to come back is another matter!"
Lin Mo looked around at the bottom of the pit, where black smoke was still rising, and said:
"Let's go back and rest to get back into shape."
"Then press your advantage and dismantle all the space wormholes on Earth, one by one."
"With the demons' supply lines cut off, the remaining scattered troops can't cause any trouble."
"As for those seventh-tier demon lords who escaped, they were probably scared out of their wits. They either went back to where they came from or went into hiding. They're not easy to find, but they can't cause any more trouble now."
"Without the demon gods, we'll wipe them out one by one sooner or later."
Ed nodded: "That makes sense. Cut off the source first, then eliminate the threat."
Bahrain also grinned:
"Indeed, once the demon god is gone, it's gone. After the wormhole is destroyed, it'll have to think twice before it comes back."
Warwick replied, "We'll follow your lead."
After the discussion was completed, Lin Mo said:
"Let's go, everyone's tired, let's eat first."
He raised his hand, grasped the magic wand, and began chanting the portal spell.
A dozen seconds later, a dark blue portal opened in the ruins, and on the other side of the portal was the surface of Tianyong Underground City, next to the collapsed remains of the World Tree.
The dragon is too big to go to the dungeon; the surface is more suitable.
In case the demons arrive, the Terran Alliance can take action at any time.
Once the door was fully open, everyone passed through the portal one by one.
……
Tianyong Underground City, on the surface.
The area where the World Tree fell has been cleared of its broken roots, and dozens of construction machines are roaring back and forth.
Cranes, bulldozers, and cutting arms are operating simultaneously, and temporary protective sheds and steel structure supports are being erected rapidly. Some simple buildings can already be seen on the ruins.
The title of "construction maniac" is well-deserved, especially with the massive construction of underground cities and the support of unmanned technology, the speed is truly astounding!
When Lin Mo stepped out of the cockpit of the Pangu II, the soldiers who were working around him stopped what they were doing and stood there watching, their eyes filled with undisguised respect and excitement.
"Greetings, sir!"
"Greetings, sir!"
Shouts rose and fell.
The news had already spread that Lin Mo had led Terra reinforcements to confront an eighth-tier demon god head-on, and now that he had returned safely, there must be good news!
I just don't know if the demon god has been driven away.
Lin Mo nodded to them.
"Comrades, you've worked hard!"
The soldiers saluted excitedly and shouted.
"Serve the people!"
