Half a day later …
It was close to evening, and the afternoon sun was slightly dim.
On the horizon around the black island, white steel battleships gradually appeared. Thick and densely packed cannons were all aimed in the direction of the island. There were also groups of fighter jets that slowly took off from the sea. Like a hive of bees, they flew towards the island in clusters.
There were at least a dozen military satellites in the sky that had locked onto this area of the sea at the same time.
Among the densely packed fleet of aircraft carriers, the largest white aircraft carrier was like a white chipped wooden board. It slowly stopped in the deep sea area not far from the island, and aimed at the black island from afar.
There were more than a dozen spaceships of various sizes around them.
Garon, the captain, and a few other high-ranking officers stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the black island from afar. The afternoon sun shone on them, reflecting a faint halo on their white military uniforms.
Behind them were carrier-based fighter jets that were adjusting to take off. The fighter jets made a whistling sound as they took off, creating a large gust of wind that blew their clothes up continuously.
Garon was also wearing a general-level military uniform. This was a special promotion rank that the secret department of the Parliament had issued to him to prevent him from being exposed during the military exercise.
Among the few high-ranking officers beside him, the bald Nighthawk and Tu Lan were among them.
"The reconnaissance aircraft has sent back a detailed topographic map. There are no ships in the surrounding patrol area, not even a shadow of a person." The captain reported to Garon softly through his earpiece. The rumbling sound of the fighter jets taking off made it impossible to hear what they were saying.
"Are you sure there are no signs of human habitation?" Garon frowned.
"No, there are also no signs of human activity." The captain was temporarily acting as a signaller. He knew that Garon and the others were not familiar with many aspects of the fleet, and were complete amateurs, so he decided to explain it himself.
"Prepare for a full-scale bombardment." Garon took the military binoculars from the captain, and carefully looked at the island in the distance.
The island was desolate and full of rugged black stones.
"Level this island directly." Garon said calmly.
"Understood." The captain nodded. He began to give orders through his earpiece.
Soon, the first ship at the front fired its cannons.
Bam bam bam bam bam …!
Amidst the rumbling sounds, a round of cannons instantly retracted, emitting white smoke like piano keys. In an instant, more than a dozen cannons on the ship all exploded.
Then, the other ships started firing at the same time.
Round after round of bombardment shook the entire island violently. Large amounts of smoke, dust, and gravel soared into the sky. The black stone forest on the island was instantly shattered into pieces. The entire small island was flattened as if it was being hammered down by someone with a huge hammer. Every time the bombardment was launched, large amounts of black stones would fly in all directions.
Soon, the entire island was completely shrouded in black smoke.
After an unknown period of time, half of the island's height was directly flattened by the bombardment, and the island was filled with white smoke and dust.
"Get on the island!" Garon waved his hand and leaped from the aircraft carrier, landing on the sea surface.
Immediately, a small landing craft rushed out from below and caught him, flying towards the small island.
Tu Lan and Nighthawk jumped down as well and were caught by the landing craft, flying towards the small island.
Other than the three of them, no one else approached the island. This was Garon's arrangement in advance. Those who were not strong enough would only be sending themselves to their deaths if they went.
The three landing craft quickly approached the small island and quickly slowed down, stopping in front of a shallow area with many submerged reefs.
"Let's go!"
Garon flew up and walked on the sea surface, flying towards the island. The other two followed closely behind. Tu Lan naturally had no problem, while Nighthawk trained in the Shooting Shadow Secret Technique. After such a long time, he had naturally cultivated this ability in the Holy Fist Palace.
The bombardment stopped. There were still planes circling in the sky, constantly monitoring the situation below and providing the latest information to Garon and the other two.
After a few splashes, Garon landed lightly beside a flattened black stone crater and adjusted his earpiece.
"Keep an eye on the surroundings. If there are any abnormalities, inform me immediately."
"Understood," the earpiece replied quickly.
Garen raised his eyes and looked over. The entire island that blocked his line of sight was almost completely flattened. There were bomb craters of different sizes everywhere. It was a complete mess.
"Come out, Lion Mother. I know you're here."
He walked slowly towards the center of the island and spoke loudly at the same time.
His voice echoed in the air above the island, but no one responded.
Garon's expression did not change. Soon, he and the other two arrived at the edge of an inconspicuous bomb crater and looked around.
Boom!!
He stomped on the ground and the rocks on the ground exploded like explosives. Once again, another huge crater appeared. It was not any less powerful than the previous bomb.
What was even more powerful was that the rocks that flew out from the crater did not affect the two people beside it.
The power of this stomp stunned the officers and soldiers in the fleet who had never seen the power of the Holy Fist Palace. It was as if they were watching a sci-fi movie.
After Garon stomped on the crater, he and the other two gently landed at the bottom of the crater and stomped on it again.
Boom!!
This time, there were no more rocks flying out from the ground. Instead, a pitch-black hole appeared under their feet.
"It's here!" Garon's eyes moved slightly. He knew that he had found the right target and jumped into the black hole first. Nighthawk and Tu Lan followed without hesitation.
Below the black hole was an extremely dark and rugged tunnel. The three of them sped up and soon saw a faint light in front of them.
It was at the end of the tunnel, a blue light that was constantly flashing.
They quickly rushed into the light and saw a wide tunnel that was glowing with blue light.
On the flat ground of the tunnel, a beautiful naked woman with long white hair stood slowly. She held a black notebook in her hand and seemed to be quietly waiting for the three of them to arrive.
"Lion Mother?" Garon was the first to step forward and asked in a low voice.
"Holy Fist?" The woman's gaze was calm. "When I heard the explosion outside, I knew that I had fallen into your trap. My hiding place was exposed. "
"It's just a pure information mismatch." Garon said calmly. "If you knew that my Demonic Book could be sensed by me at any time, you wouldn't have let your disciple steal the Demonic Book."
"Yes …" Lion Mother sighed. "After thinking about it, this is the only reason." She lowered her head and looked at the Demonic Book in her hand. Her eyes were also flashing with an inexplicable light.
"I tried to destroy it. Unfortunately, no matter what I did, this book seemed to turn into nothingness in an instant when it was hit by a destructive attack. It was impossible to destroy."
"No matter what the reason is. Now, I've won. " Garon walked forward slowly. With every step, his body expanded a little. The thick, pitch-black aura on his body quickly spread out from his feet like black smoke.
"Yes, you've won …" Lion Mother nodded. She raised her head and strangely, tears of blood flowed out of her eyes. "But, in order to return the world to its rightful path, even if my body falls into the abyss of nothingness forever, I won't let you off so easily …!!!" Her last words instantly exploded from her calm voice to a terrifying sharpness.
In the blink of an eye, a wine-red beam of light surpassed sound and movement. It was like a real light that shone on Garon's body.
When the red light landed on Garon's body, his body started to distort slightly.
"This is …?" He was slightly shocked. His body did not feel any pain. Instead, the strange thing was that the Demonic Book Soul Seed in his mind started to change faster and faster.
In an instant, the repulsive force of the world increased by a few times.
Garon's face turned pale. All the aura in his body instantly shrunk back into his body. Only a layer of black shadow appeared on the surface of his body, protecting him like a black armor. This layer of black armor was constantly resisting the repulsive force of the planet outside.
"The repulsive force … has increased … This bastard!" Garon's gaze sharpened slightly.
Lion Mother's red light continued to connect to Garon's body like a laser. Meanwhile, her entire body was melting like a candle.
As the red light continued to flow in, Garon felt the repulsive force getting stronger and stronger.
"Kill her!" Garon could not move at all. He could only roar loudly. He could not leave yet. There were still many things that he had not completed!
Tu Lan and Baldy shot out before he could shout. A twisted stream of water turned into a huge icicle and Tu Lan smashed it with her palms.
With a loud bang, the icicle that was as thick as a person's waist flew out and pierced Lion Mother's body without any resistance.
Psst!
Lion Mother's body was pierced with a huge hole. She cried out in pain. Her face had already melted to the point that she did not look human anymore. Her body was also melting at an accelerated speed from this attack. In just a few blinks of an eye, she turned into a puddle of blood and lost her human form. The red light was also cut off.
Bam bam bam!!
Garon took a few steps back. His forehead was sweating slightly. Luckily, he brought Tu Lan and Baldy here as a precaution. He did not expect it to work.
Lion Mother was actually able to sense that he was being rejected by the planet and used this phenomenon to try to speed up his departure.
"She's dead?" Tu Lan could not believe it. She controlled the icicle and smashed it into the puddle of blood a few more times. "Is she really Lion Mother? How did she die so easily? "
She was prepared for a tough battle. After all, she was the mysterious Witch King in the history of witches. She did not expect her to be defeated so easily.
"She used all her life force as the price in exchange for the repulsive force to expel me." Garon's face was pale as he answered. "You could say that when you hit her, she no longer had any power to protect herself. She did not have the intention to live. "
Tu Lan and Baldy couldn't believe it. The famous Lion Mother had died just like that.
"Go check this place." Garon leaned against the wall of the cave and waved his hand, indicating that the two did not need to care about him. He was not injured. He was just tired from resisting the repulsive force of the planet.
The two quickly dug out some things in the cave. There were a few ancient books, some bamboo pieces, stone pieces, and a huge black crystal ball with a wing imprint on it.
"Lion Mother should be proud to be able to cause me so much trouble." Garon replied. He felt that he only had one day left. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
A mere Death Apostle had such a special method. She must have known that attacking methods were useless against him, so she chose this method. She did not want to kill him, but to expel him faster.
