Cave Refuge

The intense shockwave produced by the missile explosion instantly shattered the interior space of the Spherical Lightning, a pity that if Zachary had been decisive like this from the beginning, perhaps the same explosion could have broken the original Spherical Lightning seal.

But now, after more than half a month had passed, the Spherical Lightning had absorbed too much thunder and lightning from the surrounding clouds, it was like stack armor in a video game.

If this experience were to be quantified, by now the health bar of the Spherical Lightning, after such a long time of absorbing lightning, had been raised by several dozen times.

A direct missile explosion could only cause vigorous destruction inside the Spherical Lightning, unfortunately, due to the long period of lightning absorption, the thickness of the Thunderball was absolutely far beyond any wall, so the destructive power of this missile was not enough to break the Spherical Lightning at this point.

When Zachary once again emerged from the Cave, he found that the Spherical Lightning had not only failed to compress the space inside further, but the space inside had actually expanded a lot after the explosion.

Seeing this situation, Zachary instantly understood why many people often say that brute force can work wonders.

Although this explosion did not achieve the result Zachary wanted, it made him even more certain that the spherical barrier could be destroyed.

It was like when a BOSS in a game reveals its health bar. Once a definite value appears, it's only a matter of time before the players will naturally eliminate it.

Since one missile was not enough to destroy the Spherical Lightning, Zachary would then choose stronger and more missiles to attack it again.

Normally, if it weren't for the Cave where Zachary could take cover, he would never choose to use such deadly weapons in a confined space. After all, once used, not even Zachary himself would be able to hide and would have to rely on sheer strength to withstand it.

However, once Zachary knew that he could enter the Cave at any time, many tactics usually reserved for mutually assured destruction were fully studied and innovated by him.

The second explosion, although not directly destroying the Spherical Lightning, had greatly expanded the interior space within the Spherical Lightning.

Although this space was of no practical use to Zachary, for him, it was significantly meaningful, as it proved that his method of breaking through was correct.

Perhaps this method of breaking free was not the most cost-effective, but after two explosions, Zachary had confirmed it was feasible and was ready to make his move once again.

After seeing the effects of the second detonation, Zachary decided not to waste the remaining missiles at hand, so the quantity of missiles used next was entirely based on the previous count.

The third time, fourth time, fifth time, repeated explosions constantly altered the interior space of the Spherical Lightning.

By now, the area inside the Spherical Lightning, blasted into pits and craters by the missiles Zachary had launched, actually possessed the quality of rapidly absorbing lightning for swift recovery.

Even though the Spherical Lightning could quickly absorb all the lightning appearing around it and under normal circumstances, most people's attacks couldn't exceed the Spherical Lightning's recovery speed.

But who could have expected to encounter a bug like Zachary, who would unscrupulously use all kinds of powerful weapons, without sustaining any damage from being in the same space.

Although the Spherical Lightning had absorbed enough electricity, it ultimately could not withstand the relentless onslaught of the missiles.

When Zachary saw that the edge of the Spherical Lightning had been bombed into a passageway by the missiles, he didn't act like the male and female protagonists in novels, who, knowing the urgency, still dilly-dallied over trivial matters and barely escape from danger at the last moment.

Upon discovering the passageway created by the explosion, Zachary immediately used Sword Control to sprint at full speed towards the exit.

When Zachary completely left the Spherical Lightning through Sword Control, that blasted passageway had only just begun to repair itself halfway.

Zachary, having left the danger zone, could finally appreciate from the outside the 'Cage' that had trapped him just moments ago.

While Dong Tianyu adjusted his mindset, preparing to observe the "Spherical Lightning" from the outside, he suddenly realized that the Spherical Lightning that had imprisoned him had become completely different from when it initially captured him.

The reason he said this was that, in the beginning, although Dong Tianyu was also trapped inside the Spherical Lightning, he had witnessed the entire process of its formation, thus he had taken note of its initial state.

However, as time passed, the Spherical Lightning continuously absorbed the lightning from the clouds, and so its appearance gradually changed.

But Dong Tianyu had never imagined that after incessantly absorbing lightning from the clouds, the Spherical Lightning had not expanded in its original form but had, along with the continuous absorption of lightning, transformed into an entirely different creature.

As Dong Tianyu kept retreating with Sword Control, he finally got a complete view of this entity formed from lightning.

If the initial appearance of these accumulations of lightning that emerged from the clouds was modeled after Dong Tianyu's appearance,

Then the second appearance of the Spherical Lightning was solely to capture Dong Tianyu and prevent him from escaping.

The different forms that appeared in the previous two instances were due to various reasons, but the appearance of this new form must have also been influenced by a certain event.

At this moment, what caught Dong Tianyu's gaze was the lightning conglomerate that closely resembled the UFOs from past movies and television.

Except, unlike the technologically advanced UFOs in those movies and TV shows, this UFO composed of lightning looked like a somewhat glaring light bulb, its body endlessly casting a ghastly white light.

Just as Dong Tianyu hesitated, unsure whether to stay put and investigate what that big fellow was, what capabilities it possessed, or to quickly leave this place to avoid any unexpected incidents,

Before Dong Tianyu could make a decision, the lightning-formed saucer started to rotate.

As the saucer sped up its rotation, the clouds floating around it began to be affected by the rotating disc, drawn in by the generated airflow, steadily moving closer to the saucer.

Dong Tianyu had never expected that within his Divine Sense, the saucer made purely of lightning would start to absorb the clouds that were being drawn in by the airflow it induced through its rotation.

With the rotating saucer picking up speed, the range of the airflow's draw also started to increase, more and more clouds were attracted by the airflow, and ultimately swallowed by the saucer.

Logically speaking, clouds are made of water, and although they form in the cloud layer, the two seemed incompatible; after all, pure water encountering high-voltage electricity would most probably break down directly from liquid to gas.

But at this moment, the state of the saucer overturned Dong Tianyu's understanding of some scientific theories.

The clouds drawn towards it by the saucer enveloped it like a car cover, directly covering it completely.

With this new "car cover," the previously unbearably bright saucer would not seem much different from the ordinary clouds floating in the sky if it remained stationary.

Watching this entity, which was difficult to categorize, Dong Tianyu suddenly had the impulse to take it into his Cave and dissect it.

Just as Dong Tianyu was preparing to attempt this, the saucer enveloped in clouds dissipated like ordinary mist, its essence gradually fainting until it vanished completely.

Ever since he had escaped from the Spherical Lightning, Dong Tianyu used his Divine Sense to lock onto it.

At first, in his Divine Sense, it was just a cluster of lightning, but as it donned a cloak of clouds, it terrifyingly turned into clouds in Dong Tianyu's Divine Sense.

What Dong Tianyu found hardest to accept was that it just disappeared before his eyes, and his Divine Sense did not provide any sort of abnormal feedback.
