Chapter 220: Chapter 130: Predestined Arch Nemesis Chapter 220: Chapter 130: Predestined Arch Nemesis Other people were clueless, but Alexey understood all too clearly.
The topic was an absolute taboo among the upper echelons of the government and military!
Because the words “Ancient God” were virtually synonymous with a minefield.
That minefield was such that unless one had a high enough rank and strong enough authority, touching it meant certain death!
Damn it!
Alexey, a general hardened by years of war, now had smoke billowing from his nostrils, and his eyes turned blood red in an instant.
“Captain Ruan…
name your terms, I promise you as the Deputy Commander of the Purple Jade Star that if the situation is resolved satisfactorily, you…
just say the word.”
“Tch, alright, this is a bit tricky.
Let me warn you in advance to get ready and smooth things over with the Constitutional Army.”
“Understood, thank you!”
With a bang, he tossed aside the communicator.
The officers and soldiers nearby were mystified as they watched their leader’s outburst.
What’s going on?
Not even the annihilation of an entire armored division by a Ghostly Floating Beast has seen you like this.
“Chief of Staff, you take temporary command.
I’m off to find the Commander.”
No sooner had Alexey spoken than he rushed off, leaving a crowd of people staring at each other in bewilderment.
The Chief of Staff cleared his throat and looked at everyone else, “First Fleet’s fighters, take off.
Second and Third Armored Divisions, move out.
Concentrate all firepower, and aim to destroy the Big King Land Squid in the shortest time possible.”
“Yes, sir!”
…
Racing through the skies above Mu Fan City, the message coming from the Shura Machine Body was highly unstable, with only 0.1% of energy remaining, and the power emanating from the entire mecha body began to wane.
How on earth to replenish energy!
Now, there was no Black to ask for advice, and Shura was completely unable to engage in a true dialogue with him, offering only a handful of command-execution type messages.
The view before his eyes shifted rapidly, and the thrust of 30 times the speed of sound put enormous pressure on every muscle in Mu Fan’s body.
But Mu Fan bore it silently, understanding the urgency and desire of Shura at this moment.
This mecha, which had twice saved him in moments of crisis, seemed destined to be intricately linked to him.
Now that Shura was making a request for the first time, how could he refuse?
“Energy…
obtainment, enables…
self-repair.”
A hundred kilometers passed in just ten seconds!
When Shura came to a sudden halt at the edge of the Primitive Forest, Mu Fan realized he had returned to familiar territory.
The view floating in mid-air offered an unobstructed perspective of below.
This was where he had slain those two gunmen!
The bodies lay scattered along the banks of the river, with even four partially melted Human-shaped Giant Beast carcasses fallen.
Looking further ahead, Mu Fan’s gaze abruptly narrowed.
He couldn’t see the details a hundred kilometers in the distance, but his perspective clearly identified the shape of a mountain peak!!
That was the rainforest from his previous ultimate contest!
He had made a special point of looking at the mountain’s shape from a distance before scaling it.
This was the energy source designated by Shura?
Shura’s pause lasted barely half a second before the blood-red eyes lowered to gaze at the giant beast carcasses on the ground.
The engines cut off, and Shura descended straight to the ground with a crash!
Shura knelt on the ground.
A rough piece of information transmitted into Mu Fan’s brain.
“…
Demon Servant…
energy.”
Shura’s right hand reached out to press against the puddle of bizarre melted matter on the ground.
The black liquid, as if startled, surged rapidly outward, yet Shura’s hand seemed to exert an incredible suction force!
The blackness gradually faded away, beginning to converge towards the center.
All four giant beasts eventually liquefied completely, leaving only a transparent watery stain on the ground.
0.11%,
0.12%…
It rose to 0.14% and then stopped.
Could this be Shura’s energy source?
The carcasses of the monsters…
that was the source of energy for the Shura Machine Body!
No, it’s just the corpses of these four human-shaped giant beasts!
No wonder even Black was unable to recognize the energy signature of the Shura Machine Body!
Demon Servants…
What is this!
Every word spoken by Shura seemed to Mu Fan to be laden with a vast amount of information.
At this moment, another mysterious door opened in the young man’s heart.
Shura suddenly looked up towards the depths of the forest.
“Energy source…
amplify.”
A powerful fluctuation came from his back, the result of the engines mounted there erupting in a jet of force!
A ring of red sonic booms rose again!
From the point where the river and the jungle met, a flamboyant, crimson wave exploded outward.
Again, the Primitive Forest began to topple in a straight line.
Following the direction in which the Shura Mecha was advancing, lay directly ahead…
the Thunderhawk!
Ruan Xiongfei watched with a fierce expression as four members of the Layela Clan stood side by side before him, clad in beast robes and adorned with gill-like whiskers on either side of their necks.
Their common features were their brown, withered hands and pitch-black feet.
Now, each of their long wooden staffs glowed with a dazzling purple light, merging into a vast energy shield.
Within this energy shield, aside from the four Layela clansmen, there was an altar ten meters in diameter, but at first glance it looked incredibly ancient and desolate.
The altar was entirely black, engraved with various unknown creatures, and at the center floated a blob of dark energy that constantly pulsed and morphed.
And behind the four Layela people and the altar, there was a black rift twenty meters tall, spewing mysterious starlight, giving the impression of falling into the most boundless darkness when one looked into it.
One Layela, appearing to be the leader, spoke a piece of text in a bizarre and ancient tongue.
Though small in stature, their voice seemed to resound from all around, reaching directly into Ruan Xiongfei’s ears.
“You damned mongrels, if you’ve come into human society then speak in a human tongue!”
Ruan Xiongfei detested this Outer Domain language, and without a Federation S Squadron brain trust with him, he couldn’t understand what the other side was saying at all—however, the mocking smile evident on those withered faces made their derision clear.
The Thunderhawk’s fists glittered with electric light.
Boom!
With the ferocity and speed of thunderbolts, a punch disappeared and reappeared in an instant.
A deep dent appeared in the massive energy shield covering thousands of square meters, and it was clear to see that the Thunderhawk’s massive fist was being firmly restrained by the purple energy.
As if it would shatter the next second, but after four or five seconds not a hint of movement showed.
“Damn it, these Outer Domain species, don’t tell me we’ve run into the Layela High Priest.
How can their energy defense be so strong!”
“Huh?
No, wait, it’s that blob of black energy!”
While exerting force, Ruan Xiongfei suddenly noticed under the leader’s command, three Layela clansmen stepped forward, their hands emitting an inexplicable purple glow, then slowly lifted the blob of black energy; with its elevation, Ruan Xiongfei finally saw streams of black energy spreading and merging into the massive protective shield.
Ancient God Worship Altar!
So, this is what you’ve been doing, opening such a massive Realm-Breaking Gate.
No, I absolutely cannot let you just walk away.
Thunderhawk, break it open for me!
Behind him, the sound of Angry Thunder exploded instantaneously as purple and blue electric lights converged at one point.
The four Layela were about to slowly enter the towering Realm-Breaking Gate, but the leading High Priest turned back once again with that mocking gaze!
Just as Ruan Xiongfei prepared to enter his overpower state, he suddenly saw the High Priest’s previously mocking eyes beginning to fill with an inexplicable fear.
“Ashura!”
This time, the Layela clansman finally uttered a common language phrase.
Stepping forward, their body withered by half in an instant, and around them a rich purple energy spread, a nearly tangible purple Energy surged forth from the tip of the staff, doubling the thickness of the energy shield in an instant.
And now, a powerful energy presence was rapidly approaching from behind!
It was the speed of lightning!
It was the sensation of encountering a kindred spirit!
The Thunderhawk violently turned its head!
A crimson surge shot into the sky, and eyes cold and bloodthirsty as if a Ghost God had descended, suddenly charged forward!
