Chapter 412 Traveling with the Sun God King! It's so pleasant!

Helios?

Whether before or after his transmigration, Xia Fa was quite cultured, just like the readers. He was not only proficient in physics, biology, materials science, chemistry, medicine, etc., but also had some knowledge of various mythological lineages around the world.

Therefore, he immediately recalled what "Helios" meant.

In Western mythology, when people mention the sun god, they often immediately think of "Apollo".

In fact, Helios was the true first-generation sun god, and was hailed as the strongest god because of his power of "harmony".

Later, because people gradually confused the concepts of Apollo and Helios, Apollo eventually replaced Helios and became the representative of the sun god.

Now, looking at the tall and gentle man in front of him, Xia Fa immediately thought of many things.

First and foremost, there is his incredible strength.

In an era where the strongest mutants could only reach the whale level, he effortlessly annihilated a subterranean creature comparable to a demigod.

Just now, I personally experienced the full force of this alien subterranean creature's attack. To be honest, if I hadn't just happened to have mutated my body hair to be several times thicker, like wearing a layer of soft armor, I probably would have been cut in half long ago.

This confirmed to Xia Fa that this alien subterranean creature indeed possessed the same strength as the demigods of the extraordinary era, such as the giant deer-like [Imprisonment Chains] he had encountered in the Mist God Hunting Grounds, and was even slightly stronger than the Imprisonment Chains.

Even under these circumstances, Helios was able to kill him instantly, leading Shafa to suspect that his strength might have reached the level of an angel!

His superpowers are suspected to be related to the sun, and he's named Helios. He possessed angelic power even when everyone else was only at the whale level.

All of this made Xia Fa think of the legendary Sun God King, the only true god in the billions of years since the birth of mankind who was stronger than [Absolute Defense]!

"Could it be that I've actually run into the Sun God King before he became a god?"

As this thought arose in his mind, Xia Fa found himself feeling an overwhelming excitement, as if he had met a legendary figure.

At that moment, the tall and handsome Helios reached out a hand and pulled him up.

Even though his own "Teguru" form had all his bones broken, the moment he was pulled up, Shafa clearly felt an incredibly warm power emanating from his palm.

Like hot water, it flowed through the whole body in an instant, not only healing broken bones instantly, but also restoring strained muscles to their original state.

Xia Ding looked closely and saw that Helios's palm was indeed emitting a warm, off-white light.

"Alright, you can move around normally now. By the way, friend, you also received the mission to destroy the Mother Nest, right?"

Helios then spoke with a gentle smile.

If Xia Fa hadn't witnessed him transform into a blazing pillar of light and instantly kill that demigod-level alien subterranean creature, he would have thought that Helios was a harmless person.

"Yes, it's just a pity that all my teammates are dead, sigh—"

As Xia Fa responded, perhaps having witnessed Sanders' murder firsthand, his sigh carried a genuine sense of sorrow.

Regardless, Sanders sacrificed himself for humanity in this era, and for that alone, he deserves greatness.

Seeing this, Helios reached out and patted Shafa on the shoulder. After pondering for a moment, he said, "How about this, brother, you come with me? All my teammates have been sacrificed. We can look out for each other."

Upon seeing this, Xia Fa asked in surprise, "Your teammates have all perished too? Really?"

Logically speaking, given Helios's strength and character, unless a super subterranean creature is born from the brood nest, who could possibly kill his teammate?

Helios's face now showed an uncontrollable sadness, as if it was because he empathized with Shaphat's grief that he extended the invitation to act together.

"I understand what you mean. With the strength I just showed, no one should be able to hurt my teammates, but—I wasn't this strong from the beginning."

Xia Fa couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

Helios shook his head: "Just now, our group was preparing to sneak to the Mother Nest by waterway, but we were ambushed by a different subterranean creature leading more than a dozen other subterranean creatures. My teammates all sacrificed themselves to protect me. I was originally just the healer in the team, and what I awakened was only the Glimmer Mutation."

Xia Fa understood that the Glimmer mutation was the worst among elemental mutations, a lower grade than the Holy Light mutation. However, the Glimmer mutation was particularly strong in healing, so it was still popular among mutant teams.

He thought for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Could it be that you were in the final moments of life and death—"

Helios nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the upper right of the tunnel, as if looking through layers of soil at the place where his teammates had perished: "Yes, seeing my teammates all dead, and knowing I was about to be utterly defenseless—after all, I'm not even a whale-level mutant, just an elephant-level one—but somehow, just as I watched those alien subterranean creature's bone spikes pierce through me, my body—"

He raised one palm, and a pure white miniature sun condensed in his palm, slowly rotating and radiating astonishing heat, even distorting the surrounding space—this indicated that the miniature sun was extremely heavy.

"—And so this power was born."

Xia Fa stared intently, and his heart was shaken.

Because he immediately recognized that Helios had not only awakened the "Pure White Incandescent Sun," a god-level mutation just like his own, but that Helios's current level of development of the "Pure White Incandescent Sun" mutation was already higher than his own!

He himself had about 20%, while Helios had at least 50%!

"Truly worthy of being called the Sun God King—"

Xia Fa sighed inwardly. By now, he was 90% certain that the person in front of him was the Sun God King in his youth, before he became a god.

Even if it isn't, it's probably closely related to the Sun God King.

"So you've reached the whale level now, right? And this mutation of yours—"

"Well, the moment this power emerged from my body, or more precisely, the moment the luminous mutation developed into this mutation, I broke through to the whale level. As for the name of this mutation—" Helios pondered and shook his head, "I don't know what it's called either."

For some reason, a wicked thought suddenly popped into Xia Fa's mind, and he decided to tell Helios the name of this god-level mutation directly.

Although he knew that this god-level mutation was through spiritual intuition, just like when he obtained the secret ability, he could know the corresponding name as soon as he obtained it.

However, mutant people probably lack spiritual intuition, which is a product of the extraordinary era.

Therefore, Helios did not know what his god-like mutation was called.

"Let me think... Since you can condense such a terrifying mini-sun, and this mini-sun is white and possesses healing abilities like those of a mutated holy light, why not simply call it—Pure White Blazing Holy Sun?"

Xia Fagang tentatively offered a suggestion, but to his surprise, Helios's eyes immediately lit up: "What a great name! It's both artistic and popular! Not only does it immediately reveal what kind of mutation it is, but it also gives off a very sacred feeling. Brother, what's your name? I suspect you're an artist!"

Shafa smiled and said, "My name is Teglü."

Since Sanders is already dead and Helios doesn't know about Tegruna's reckless nature, he doesn't need to pretend to be reckless and simple-minded anymore.

Helios muttered under his breath, as if trying to memorize the name: "Alright, if we manage to get back alive this time, I'll treat you to my own cooking!"

The Sun God King could cook?

Looking at Helios, who appeared as an honest and forthright elder brother, Xiafa couldn't help but chuckle.

The fact that the Sun God King could cook when he was young—if this news were to reach the children of the true gods and the celestial beings, it would surely shock countless people.

"I've got that in mind. Let's get going without further ado."

Xia Fa smiled and spoke. Now, he suddenly had the young Sun God King as an ally, especially in this era where the strongest enemy was only a demigod, while the Sun God King was an angel. He suddenly felt a sense of relief.

In this way, I won't be too afraid of failing the 100-meter sprint this time.

Just now, when that strange underground creature shattered all his bones with a single blow, he really thought that all his training had been for nothing.

Perhaps due to his repeated attempts to deeply explore the mutations, Xia Fa found that several fragments of memories related to Tegru had surfaced in his mind.

That was Tegrus in his youth. Ever since awakening his saber-toothed tiger mutation, he had trained day after day in the training grounds of the Animal Mutation Association building, all for the sake of mastering the "complete mutation form".

In this era where mutants have existed for over 30 million years, the methods for mastering the complete mutant form have been simplified to the bare minimum by generations of geniuses. Coupled with the power of technology, even those with mediocre talent can master it in a few years at most through training and medication.

However, it took Tegru a full fifteen years and he paid dozens or even hundreds of times more blood, tears and hard work than the average person before he finally mastered it.

"In terms of the depth of mutation development, the fully mutated form can only be considered to have reached about five percent of the development depth of the animal-type mutation at most. Even so, it took Tegl fifteen years —"

Xia Fa sighed inwardly, admiring Tegr's perseverance while finally understanding why his repeated attempts to further develop the saber-toothed tiger mutation had failed during the life-or-death moment.

Unfortunately, Tegr's body simply has very low talent.

As he pondered this, Xia Fa re-entered the fully mutated form of the saber-toothed tiger and began traveling through the tunnel.

Helios followed behind him. With the abnormal level of the divine mutation of the Pure White Incandescent Holy Sun, he didn't even need to enter his elemental body. He could easily surpass Shafa's speed by spewing out flames from his hands and feet.

Therefore, Helios had to stop and wait for Shaphat every time he flew out.

Finally, after running and flying for more than ten minutes, a thick earthen wall appeared in front of them.

To be precise, it's the end of the tunnel.

Xia Fa was about to step forward and dig with the saber-toothed tiger's claws when Helios stopped him.

"I'll do it. It'll be a good opportunity for me to test out the abilities corresponding to my new mutation."

Helios smiled gently and placed one hand on the earthen wall.

The temperature in the originally cold and damp tunnel suddenly rose.

Xia Fa watched helplessly as the earthen wall was instantly burned and melted, turning into flowing lava.

In the blink of an eye, the last two kilometers or so of the underwater tunnel were completely burned through by Helios!

The sound of surging waves rose, and seawater rushed in, bringing with it a salty, icy smell. Before Helios could speak, he pulled Shaphat to his side.

Then, with Helios at the center, a halo of the sun immediately formed around him, followed by the formation of a sphere of light.

The seawater automatically avoided it, colliding with the lava beneath their feet, which then cooled rapidly.

Fortunately, as a whale-level mutant, Xia Fa is not afraid of magma, but now, whether he is afraid or not is no longer important.

"Look, that should be it."

Helios then pointed to the sky, and Shaphat looked up and found that inside the dazzling solar sphere, the view was completely unobstructed.

Just a few kilometers ahead, there was a huge circular mother nest, constructed entirely of insect-like exoskeletons and some kind of sticky substance.

Thousands upon thousands of subterranean creatures roamed and patrolled around the circular mother nest, including several alien subterranean creatures.

"The birth rate of these alien subterranean creatures has accelerated again. We must quickly infiltrate the nest and destroy them—"

Helios murmured to himself, then suddenly turned to Shafa and asked, "Brother Tegl, you should be smarter. Do you have any good ideas on how to infiltrate? After all, there are too many subterranean creatures here."

sneak into?

When Xia Fa heard those two words, he almost burst out laughing. With your angelic strength, plus the god-level mutation "Pure White Blazing Sun" with 50% development depth, you still need to infiltrate?

They don't even need to use the tactical bombs they carry; one shot is enough to destroy this mother hive!

"Brother Helios, will you believe me?"

"What's wrong?"

"If you'd like, just summon the same kind of intense sunlight pillar you just used towards the mother nest. Remember, the more powerful the better, but only keep about 10 or 20% of your stamina."

Upon hearing Shafa's words, Helios pondered for a few seconds and immediately agreed.

"Okay, Tegru, I'll listen to you! You always seem so mysterious, your judgment should be right."

Just then, dozens of holes were dug out in different places on the seabed around them, and hundreds of mutants dressed in special operations suits swam out from them.

Such a commotion immediately alerted the underground creatures patrolling around the mother nest.

These subterranean creatures immediately began to howl in the direction of the group of mutants, emitting piercing and unpleasant sounds. Then, led by those few alien subterranean creatures, the army of subterranean creatures swam over at lightning speed, their formation extremely ferocious.

However, these mutated humans who had finally reached the vicinity of the mother nest showed no sign of fear. They roared and were about to charge out.

At that moment, Helios raised his hands, forming an "O" shape, and aimed them at the mother nest several kilometers away.

"Brother Tegrus, I have a feeling there's something good in this mother nest. Let me give it a try. If I succeed, we'll split the good stuff inside!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely dazzling and blinding light suddenly shone in the sky above the sea!
