Chapter 133: Spatial Stabilization Device

The Invasion Alliance had changed its tactics, and from that moment on, heroes became the root cause of disaster. Even though they were working to protect the Blue Star, they were now ostracized by others because their presence invited catastrophe. Heroes had become misunderstood beings.

Countless heroes lost their supporters in an instant, and many, heartbroken, abandoned their original survivor bases. On the "Hero Combat Power Rankings," the number of heroes, originally 130,000, began to plummet in a short period. This signified that these heroes were dying. Soon, the number fell below 130,000. After another half hour, it dropped to 120,000. It wasn't until an hour later that the rate of death slowed, finally stabilizing at 122,947.

Fifteen thousand heroes had perished, including 1,000 Level 3 evolvers, with the rest being Level 2 hero evolvers. Such a death toll weighed heavily on everyone's hearts. The more people who died, the greater the danger they would face in the future. Moreover, the next wave of invasive creatures was about to arrive. Twelve hours later, the Great Night Civilization would make its appearance. An overwhelming pressure made it difficult for them to breathe.

Inside the ruins of the Northern Magic City Base, Qin Hao, having finished absorbing blood genes, opened his eyes. The surrounding heroes and evolvers had been waiting for a long time, but no one dared to disturb him.

"Qin Hao, here are the Star Energy Diamonds obtained from this hunt. The spoils of flesh and blood have also been registered," Zihui said as she brought over a dozen suitcases. Each was filled with Star Energy Diamonds, enough to make anyone covet them, yet everyone knew these belonged to Qin Hao, who had single-handedly slaughtered the invasive creatures.

With a mere sweep of his mental power, Qin Hao knew there were 25 million Star Energy Diamonds inside. It was a massive fortune. Each Level 2 creature yielded over a hundred diamonds, and Level 3 creatures yielded double that. The energy stones were piled high like a mountain.

Qin Hao did not put the diamonds away; instead, he opened the Hero System store.

The Hero System had updated again. As the strength of the invasive creatures rose, more powerful items became available at higher prices. Qin Hao scrolled to the bottom to see what had appeared in his store. The Peace Alliance had been closely monitoring Qin Hao, offering him the most suitable items to drain the Star Energy Diamonds from his hands. Now, items suited for him—or rather, for the current state of humanity—had appeared.

[Space Stabilization Device] [God-tier]
Price: 10 million Star Energy Diamonds, 10 million Hero Points.
Note: This product comes from the Void Civilization. Within a 100-kilometer radius, it significantly strengthens the stability of space, allowing only one space black hole to open per civilization.

Qin Hao was surrounded by 500 heroes; normally, 500 space black holes would appear, darkening the sky. If the Space Stabilization Device were activated, only one black hole would appear, and even if it were a massive one, the number of creatures it could spew out would be limited. This was undeniably a survival treasure.

Qin Hao purchased the item without hesitation. A space black hole appeared before him, siphoning away 10 million Star Energy Diamonds. In an instant, the diamonds in three large suitcases vanished, and then the black hole spat out a silver cube. This silver cube was the Space Stabilization Device.

"What did you buy?" Zihui asked, looking at the object in Qin Hao's hand, shocked that tens of millions of Star Energy Diamonds had just disappeared.

Qin Hao projected the device's attributes for Zihui to see. Through the Hero System, they could naturally scan its function, and after reading it, everyone was overjoyed. "This is perfect. With this, we won't have to live in constant fear."

"Exactly. It'll be just like before—block the black hole and kill all the creatures that come through," they said excitedly.

However, Qin Hao spoke up: "If this device only serves our 500 heroes, it is a waste. I intend to build a Hero City on Mount Hua in China, gathering all heroes together to resist the invasive creatures."

The crowd exchanged glances. They felt that Qin Hao had a hidden meaning behind his words. Zihui finally realized the implication and asked, "Qin Hao, do you plan on leaving?"

Although Qin Hao often went out, this time he was planning to build his own base, meaning he would no longer remain at the Sky Dome Base. This was a total departure.

Qin Hao scanned everyone present and said, "I intend to establish the Hero Base on Mount Hua, in the heart of China. I welcome any evolver who wishes to follow me. As for the survivors in the Sky Dome Base, once we leave, they will no longer be in danger. You must understand, the Invasion Alliance has changed the rules of the game and has placed the heroes in an unjust position."

"We are now the ones who bring disaster."

The final sentence struck the heart of every hero present. Since the Invasion Alliance changed the rules, a space black hole appeared beside every one of them. Today it was the Ancient Demon Civilization; at midnight, the Great Night Civilization would appear. In another half-day, the Kaya Civilization would invade as well. And that was not even mentioning the Star-Shattering, Dark Wing, Bloodthirsty, and Soul-Extinguishing civilizations, whose invasion patterns were still unknown.

However, in the survivor bases they had worked so hard to build, some executives didn't need to go out and hunt, instead living off the rent paid by survivors in Star Energy Diamonds. Heroes, meanwhile, earned vast amounts of diamonds by trading with evolvers to strengthen themselves. Not to mention the Hero Points gained from providing food to ordinary people. People always disliked change.

"Qin Hao, I will go with you," Zihui said.

"Zihui!" Li Lan, the leader of the Sky Dome Base, exclaimed in panic.

Zihui patted her hand comfortingly, saying, "What Qin Hao says is true. From now on, heroes will bring disaster. Only by gathering together and using the Space Stabilization Device can we avoid this situation. Leaving the survivors is inevitable."

"But they will starve! If we leave, there will be no creatures for them to eat."

"They won't. Although there are no heroes among them, they still have evolvers. Evolvers can ripen rice, vegetables, and fruits, and water-element evolvers have appeared; they won't starve. Besides, think about it—this concerns the lives of all heroes and survivors in China. We cannot be so selfish."

Hearing this, the others fell silent.

"Mr. Qin, I'll go with you."
"Mr. Qin, take me with you."
"Mr. Qin, can we bring our families? I'm worried about leaving them here."
"Yes, this is the only relative I have left."

Qin Hao replied, "You may bring them. Go back and pack now. I expect you to arrive at Mount Hua within 12 hours."
