Chapter 240
Iron 72 didn't have any parting words. He just took a deep look at Lithium 60, then pulled Adam and rushed into the sky.
Li 60 did not say anything to the two of them. He threw a heavy punch. His arm and half of his body turned into a cannon barrel, nailing the mother's defense field. He said disdainfully, "Kill a Titan? Stop dreaming. You have never killed a Titan. Even if a spark is extinguished, countless sparks will ignite elsewhere. The Titans will never perish! "
"Boom!" The explosion was accompanied by Li 60's angry roar.
"Open!!!"
Retreating was different from sneaking in. Without the 'burden' of lithium 60, there was no need to move towards a specific target. The strength of Iron 72 was not something ordinary Gold Eaters could stop. Only the mother had the ability to do so, but it probably did not have the time now.
Adam couldn't help but look back. The mother body's defense field didn't even last for a microsecond before it shattered into pieces together with the surrounding space. Adam discovered that this quasi Super Dimensional Gold Devourer was actually a half-energy life form. Only a small part of its body was flesh and blood, while the rest was more like … a steady burning fire!
"This form!?" Adam blurted out.
Iron 72 didn't say anything. He pulled Adam's arm even harder, and his speed increased by a notch.
Li 60 opened his arms and hugged the mother. No matter how hard it tried, it could not escape from Li 60's grip.
"Got you!"
The mother panicked and struggled frantically in Li 60's hands. It kept roaring, but Adam could not understand whether it was begging for mercy or threatening. The huge nest disintegrated inch by inch, turning into pure energy and dissipating between heaven and earth. Li 60 firmly imprisoned the mother. No matter how hard it struggled, it was useless.
Li 60 laughed heartily. His body collapsed inwards as he laughed, and an unknown substance appeared, turning his originally silver-grey body into a pure white. Adam had previously used all his strength to reduce his height to 84 meters, but now he was constantly breaking through this limit. When Tie 72 pulled Adam 75 kilometers away, he had shrunk to five meters. He stood inside the power furnace, bathed in the flames, and let the Origin Flame sublimate. His laughter did not stop for a moment.
Lithium-60 was like the sun, overshadowing the world.
Strangely, the first thing that Adam saw was not the energy, but the disintegrating body of the lithium 60. One by one, it burned in the tinder. Even the last trace of a smile could be seen clearly.
Then came the release and explosion.
There were no flames, and it was impossible to measure the temperature of the core. Adam's dynamic vision slowed down the scene a thousand times. He could see that all the combustible objects around him, including the low-level Metal Eaters, had spontaneously combusted. There was no medium for sound, and the explosion point was silent. The sand and stones turned into magma, and the minerals turned into molten state. They were all vaporized in a few microseconds.
The mother struggled for a few seconds before disappearing along with the surrounding substances.
Then, a blue and white flame shot up into the sky, and the energy shock wave spread in all directions. The blue and white mushroom clouds stacked on top of each other until they reached a height of more than 655 kilometers.
The air from the outside world rushed into the vacuum. The huge atmospheric pressure rolled up thousands of hurricanes that connected the sky and the earth, but it did not blow away any impurities.
Finally, there was the sound of an earth-shattering explosion.
The sun fell.

Adam and Tie 72 stood a thousand kilometers away. The huge shock wave was steadily blocked by Tie 72's body. The two of them stood quietly, not saying a word.
"Master, do you still remember the Hyperdimensional Strike? Although I know that the power of a Titan's self-destruction is not as strong as the Hyperdimensional Strike, why do I feel … "The Devil's voice was unusually gentle. It thought for a long time but could not think of an adjective to describe it, so it could only sigh instead.
There was no need to escape. Thousands of nests and hundreds of thousands of Metal Eaters had been turned into ashes. Although there were still countless monsters in the vast border area, they would definitely not dare to come close.
Tie 72 stood motionless for a long time until the mushroom clouds disappeared and the hurricanes stopped. Only the shock wave and the energy storm were still stirring up trouble. Only then did he say, "Let's go."
Titans were long-lived species. Tie 72 had lived for a long time. He had seen more than one self-destruction, but no one had been able to leave a trace of life. His gaze could not penetrate the energy storm, and he felt that Lithium-60 was no exception.
However, Adam was different. The violent electromagnetic disturbance in the explosion area could not block his perception. "Lithium-60 might not be dead."
Tie 72 was slightly stunned. Before he could say anything, he heard Adam say, "No, he's dead, but his fire seed has not completely dissipated!"
Tie 72 could not believe it. "You're saying that he succeeded in transmitting the fire?!"
Adam flew forward. As the chaotic magnetic field and energy passed by him, he calmed them down. He said to Tie 72, "I'm not sure. The fire seed is very weak and very dangerous."
Tie 72 suddenly accelerated, forcibly suppressing the violent energy around him. He shot straight towards the center of the explosion like a sharp arrow.
This was still a forbidden zone for life. Adam saw that Tie 72's body had begun to melt, but he still wanted to break through the high temperature. He had to stop him. He said, "The fire seed seems to be absorbing some special energy. I think I should have the right to know something, right?"
Tie 72 said in a deep voice, "Of course. You originally had the right to know about the Metal Eaters after this mission."
"You should know about the origin of the Metal Eaters. They were creatures created by the Wise Ones. Other than smelting metal, they could also be used as an external fire seed to increase the Titans' ability to absorb energy during battle. However, they defected later, and this ability was not used by the Titans. Instead, it became their innate ability. After the Metal Eaters become royalty, they can transform into fire seeds and have the ability to transmit fire. However, they rely on reproduction, and the potential of newborns is not great. They can only evolve by devouring other fire seeds. "
Adam understood. This was another tragedy caused by taboo knowledge that he could not control. The Titans were still considered lucky. Although they had lost a lot of territory and the ability to cross realms, at least their race was still continuing and their civilization was still thriving. They were much luckier than Katos.
Although it was a bit cruel and selfish to say this, the current state of the Titan Plane was the most suitable for them to befriend. If their research was successful and they obtained more power, perhaps Adam would bring an endless war between the two worlds after he left this plane.
They stopped talking, each with their own thoughts. After three days and three nights, the temperature finally dropped to a level that Tie 72 could endure. After Adam cleared out a few groups of returning Metal Eaters, he saw Tie 72 holding up a small space in the high temperature zone to protect the tiny fire seed below him. He reached out his hands again and again, but he did not dare to move for fear of extinguishing the fire seed.
