Chapter 377 The Players’ Turf
Xi Wei hurriedly moved his tentacles to control the Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN) and stop it.
Although he knew from the start that it was an anti-world weapon powered by diviner power, he realized that he had still underestimated the power of the Elven SIN after actually activating it.
And he certainly did not expect that the tracer beams which calibrated the main cannons could instantly destroy the ancient Mecha Giant, which was built by the Dwarven King of the last era!
Indeed, the horrific cannon blast which the Players saw easily vanquished the Mecha Giant was actually the Elven SIN’s tracer beams, used for adjust the main cannons’ aim
—the actual main cannons were charging and had yet to fire!
Still, it made sense if one thought about it.
Just as its name suggests, anti-world weapons were armaments designed to fight other planes. Like how galactic-scale weapons would not be used within the atmosphere, the Elven SIN certainly would not be used to attack something within the same weapon.
It was even possible for the Tracer Beam to pierce the World Barrier at full power, shooting toward another targeted plane up int the Void.
There was no telling where the former Dwarven King got the confidence that some Mecha Giant alone was enough to claim control over the Elven Sin.
Even though both creations were at the class of Wonders, there was an insurmountable gap between the technology of both sides, and it was no different from pitting an arrow against an intercontinental ballistic missile…
Naturally, such a powerful weapon was not without its flaws-after just that tiny bit of firing just now had cost much of Xi Wei’s divine power.
To put it in more understandable units, it was probably the amount of divine energy used to revive Marni over a thousand times.
If he really did fire the main cannons, even an Intermediate God like Xi Wei (whose stores of divine power was on the side of lesser) would find it taxing Still, Xi Wei was quite pleased with the weapon he acquired.
“Right, since this thing is now mine, there’s no need to keep calling it Elven SIN now…”
With that in mind, Xi Wei pulled out his Pantheon Computer and spread his tentacles to clack away on the keyboard.

The earth shook, and a terrible rumble echoed in the air.
Hence, all the Players who were just finished with the (Elven Sin-Ancient Atrocities] event and were looking for a place to hold a feast looked blankly around them.
“What happened?!” Nervous, Marni promptly summoned his spirit familiar. It took him great difficulty to survive until the end of the event, and he is now afraid that some boulder flying out of nowhere would smash and kill
him.
“Look! It’s Crookes!”
The sharp-eyed Edward immediately found the cause of the anomaly. “Or as I should say, the tortoise colossus!”
Everyone looked towards the direction he was pointing and found that the tortoise which carried a small mountain and a city was slowly withdrawing its limbs into the Faint Crystal Stratum.
Its body, however, did not drop to the ground. It hovered in the air and slowly drifted to a higher location, where it could only be found if one looked up to the clouds.
Moreover, the ruins of the city over its back began to change as well. Endless bricks, boulders, clay, and illum crystals began to gather under the influence of an invisible strength, and eventually formed a profound castle.
The castle was probably half the former size of Crookes, but it stood higher than the hill near it. With the pinnacle of the hill and the top of the castle within sight of each other, they had the majestic splendor of twin peaks.
Hence, as the Players and the survivors of Crookes looked on in astonishment, the tortoise colossus had taken the shape of a floating castle city.
And unlike the survivors of Crookes, the Players soon received messages from the System.
