This gigantic monster emitting a strong smell of sulfur was only the beginning. The dense woods behind it kept shaking, and one after another, weird-looking 'demon-like' monsters jumped out while roaring crazily.
Although their original forms were obviously different creatures, including: human, forest wolf, short-tailed deer, bison, black panther …
But the curved horns, burning eyes, and ash-like gray scales were the common characteristics of more than a dozen "demon-like" monsters, which also meant that they had the same supernatural origin.
Crackle, crackle …
When these "demon-like" monsters of the same origin gathered together, an invisible heat wave instantly spread out, especially when the trees around them gradually withered and burned.
There seemed to be no burning process at all, and with a "bang", they directly turned into ashes.
It also created an ugly scar in the lush forest.
Screech!
Accompanied by an ear-piercing sound, the wheels of the locomotive rubbed against the steel rails, creating bright sparks.
As the steam locomotive slowly slowed down, the passengers on the train who suddenly encountered the sudden change did not panic too much.
Although the stewards comforted them in time, the more important reason was that this scene had gradually become a little bit common in the past five years, and it was not surprising.
Only the little princess, Christen, who had always been well protected and had never experienced such a situation, stuck her head out of the window and looked curiously.
"Ah, so ugly!"
Then, they retreated into Levina's broad and warm arms.
As the real masters of this country, Elvin and Olivia did not even lift their eyelids. To pay more attention to these guys was to think too highly of them.
Olivia was the only one who lightly snapped her fingers.
Mr. Abel, who looked very "steady" but was about to run to the front carriage, was frozen in place.
His little thoughts were seen through, and the young man could only touch his head embarrassedly.
He did not disappoint the calm citizens. Before the huge "demon-like" monsters charged towards the locomotive and the town.
Bang!
Accompanied by flying emerald butterflies of light, five [Giant Divine Soldiers: Furnace Type II] that were more than two stories tall and a group of fully-armed soldiers suddenly arrived.
In the first wave of attack, [Steam Launcher] threw the special [Holy Salt Bomb] two hundred meters away. The rain of red crystals that looked like sulfuric acid raised the sizzling sound of roasting meat among the demi-demons.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Then, he equipped the [High Pressure Steam Gun] with the [Coral Steel Bullet], and in just a few seconds, the 10 bullets were emptied.
The five [Colossi — Furnace Type II], which were bigger and stronger than the foreign version [Furnace Type I], had already charged forward with chainswords as wide as doors the moment their feet touched the ground.
Sitting in the half-open cockpit, the Steam Engineers wearing goggles did not forget to mock him.
"Where did this country bumpkin come from? You're really not afraid of death. It's already the year 201, and you still dare to cause trouble in the Duchy? "
"A brain is a good thing, but it's a pity you guys don't have one!"
"Hahaha, don't fight with me. My chainsword is thirsty for blood!"
"General, we'll take the head for you first."
Whoosh —!
Standing in the ranks of the soldiers, a major general wearing a black military uniform with a height of more than two meters let out a thunderous roar.
"Ha!"
Its body instantly expanded to three meters, and its body was covered with a full-body steel scale armor. Its head turned into a giant shark head with a sharp horn.
[Level 3 Activated Beast Skin — Rhinoceros Horn Shark]
Kaboom!
Gary's iron-colored warrior energy flames exploded, and he activated [Berserk]. However, he was the first to arrive. He raised his elbow that was like a battering ram, and he directly smashed a demon-like creature into pieces.
The Duchy's armed forces had the experience of dealing with large-scale "Spirit Waves" many years ago, and the soldiers were all well-tested.
After that, with the help of [Mental Network] and [Dream Cruise], the rapid response force formed by the backbone of the army could cover the entire Duchy in ten seconds.
It basically realized the combat concept of killing the "demon-like" as soon as they showed up.
"Oh! The Duchy's soldiers are so cool. I want to join the army too! "
"This is the power of the Transcendents!"
"General, go for it! Beat up those monsters …"
The passengers and the residents in the distant towns were not afraid. Instead, they began to cheer for Gary and his men who stopped the "demon-like".
The "Transcendents" hidden under the stage was no longer a secret to them.
In fact, this situation did not only happen in the New World where the church's power was weak, but it was a common phenomenon in the entire world.
In the past, even in the military, if a soldier did not reach a certain rank and serve a certain number of years, they would not even know about the existence of the Transcendents.
This was not only to maintain the stable rule of the upper class, but also because the world humans lived in was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Ignorant secret explorers would only lead to loss of control and disaster.
However.
As the 72 Demon Gods descended into the material world, the isolation of the Transcendents hidden under the technological revolution and technological innovation began to shake.
The 72 Demon Gods with chaotic natures were like 72 giant crocodiles that ran into a fish pond. They set off a huge wave in the material world.
As expected, the isolation of the Transcendents that the Church of the Seven Gods had painstakingly maintained for many years was completely broken by the attacks of the Demon Gods and "demon-like".
The bizarre and dangerous Transcendents were thus exposed before the eyes of the mortals.
It was just like how 16% was the outbreak point of the "herd effect".
In the past, most supernatural powers were excluded from the Old World by the church. Although supernatural incidents occurred from time to time, the frequency and influence were extremely limited.
The Church of the True Gods alone could completely solve and easily cover it up.
However, as the Demon Gods and the "demon-like" they created entered the scene, their strength and attack density were far from what the human Transcendents of the past could compare to. It had long surpassed the threshold of 16%.
Therefore, when 16 out of 100 people witnessed the existence of the Transcendents, the barrier of the past naturally collapsed.
The "Transcendents Isolation Policy" that the church relied on as one of the foundations of their rule naturally collapsed.
Therefore.
With the dawn of technology, the world's large-scale mysteries were dispelled. When the mortals opened their eyes and began to understand the world again, they suddenly found that the world seemed to have become even more mysterious.
The old order and tacit understanding were broken, and it would take time to re-establish a new order. However, the Seven Gods felt that it was completely unnecessary.
Even with the recovery of the Demon Gods' power, in the increasingly bad external environment, some of the ancestors of the "Titled Knight" of the kingdoms once again stepped forward to stabilize the situation, and the church began to turn a blind eye to it.
It could be seen that the Seven Gods' bottom line, especially the five Nature Gods' bottom line.
As long as there was no large-scale human extinction, large-scale species extinction, or serious ecological crisis in the material world that would affect their duties, they would no longer interfere in meaningless matters.
In other words, if the two long-lived monarchs, Levina and Elvin, wanted to work for two more years in this special period, it might not attract the intervention of the Churches of the Gods.
Rip —!
Before the armed forces in the town arrived, Gary grabbed the upper and lower jaw of the last crocodile-type "demon-like" and brazenly tore it into two halves.
After all the "demon-like" died.
Their magma-like blood converged into a puddle of scorched blood on the ground, and a phantom with three heads emerged from it.
His three heads were the head of a snake, the head of a man with two black pentagrams on his forehead, and the head of an ox. He held a round fire jade in his right hand and rode a hell snake that was emitting red smoke all over its body.
Aini, the 23rd Demon God of the 72 Demon Gods, was a Duke.
He liked to ignite the cities, castles, and holy lands that he passed by, as well as everything he saw. He was an extremely bad-tempered "God of Destruction."
"Roar!"
He roared angrily and unwillingly.
Facing the [Six-barreled Machine Cannon — God Slayer] in Gary's hand, he seemed to have sensed something and dissipated with the wind. He didn't appear in his true form at all.
Even though the Demon Gods were all goats and were the best at hide-and-seek in the world.
However, those who dared to set their hunting grounds in duchies were far behind the other Demon Gods in terms of power recovery speed. They were almost unable to survive.
"Order, retreat!"
"Yes, General!"
Whoosh —!
After finishing the job, the aftermath was handed over to the local garrison. Under the leadership of Gary, the rapid response force disappeared into a group of light butterflies again.
Elvin, who was calmly drinking tea and didn't even lift his eyelids, suddenly looked up at the sky at this moment and frowned slightly.
"This is … more? No! "
He suddenly stood up.
Then.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Suddenly, an exaggerated aria sounded in his ears, as glorious and sacred as a hymn. However, behind this sacredness, there seemed to be an indescribable horror that made people feel as if they were in the abyss.
Then, one after another, pure white light pillars suddenly descended from the sky.
In the entire material world, all existences above the level of divine creatures suddenly had a message in their hearts that didn't have any words or language as a carrier: "The first impact!"
