Deity of Gods — King's City.
Mask, who possessed many heads, did not require a long period of sleep, or it could be said that as long as the resting time of each head was staggered, he could remain awake for long periods of time.
Therefore, the moment the Eye Demon guards noticed the anomaly, he received an alert.
[The enemy is here.] The King's unperturbed consciousness transmitted over. [From the night. ]
There was no doubt that the lowlifes were using the night to avoid the Devilbeasts' detection, but what could the few iron birds do? Did they think that I was unprepared?
[I'm urging those Bogle fools to get up, but I still need some time!] Undeserved's reaction was clearly slower, but compared to the other pitiful fellows who only had one head, he was already extremely vigilant.
"It doesn't matter if it's a little later." Nassaupelle took out the mini core. "I've said it before, I've already studied the iron birds' combat methods. Esteemed King, leave these annoying lowlifes to me. "
Under his magic power's control, the black stone walls that formed the dome of King's City extended out many crystal 'branches' — they were originally a portion of the first generation Symbiotic Demons, but after his special modifications, they no longer shot out crystal needles, but were instead a special type of miniature Symbiotic Demons.
After a few exchanges, he had already noticed a glaring flaw in the iron birds — the mechanical creations that the humans called Heaven's Fury or Heaven's Fire. Even though they were faster than the Bogle Beasts, they were unable to change their direction as agilely as the latter. The faster they were, the more obvious it was. Their flight trajectories were in a smooth arc, and they were unable to even roll when diving. This meant that at a specific point in time, they had to pass through a specific location.
In other words, as long as the height of the needles was determined in advance, the Symbiotic Demons' chances of hitting the iron birds would be greatly increased. Of course, the crystal needles themselves were unable to achieve this, but by changing the train of thought, turning the projectiles into Symbiotic Demons that could independently determine the situation made everything much easier.
These 'needles' would automatically explode when they approached the iron birds, turning into a group of Symbiotic Demons that could temporarily float. Once they landed on the iron birds, they would act like parasites, tearing and gnawing at the target's fragile outer shell.
Mask believed that this defense system would definitely leave a deep impression on the ambushers.
But through the Eye Demon guards, the humans' subsequent reaction surprised him.
The mechanical iron birds did not attack the Deity of Gods while the Devilbeasts were still in the air. Instead, they collectively turned south, as though they were deliberately avoiding King's City.
What did that mean?
Are the Zergs going to give up?
[Heh, they ran away. Looks like your toys won't be of any use. Wu Wang snorted lightly. "In the end, I still have to chase after the humans. "
No … it shouldn't be like this.
Nassaupelle frowned. Although it referred to them as insects, the numerous battles it had fought proved that these Demonic Bodies did not lack courage. Since the other party had taken the risk to plan this night voyage, why would they cower at the critical moment and retreat before the battle even started?
Currently, the Eye Demon Guards could only sense one source of vision, which meant that most of the worms had yet to "see" the Deity of Gods. While the night restricted the enemy, it also weakened the Eye Demon Guards' senses.
Could it be … that this group of iron birds wasn't the main attacking force of the humans?
A bolt of lightning flashed in his mind as he controlled all the Eye Demon Guards to look at the surrounding airspace of the Deity of Gods. This time, the Eye Demon Guards did not use magic power, but the visual abilities of the thousands of eyes.
[What are you doing? ] Wu Wang immediately protested in dissatisfaction.
Mask did not have the time to explain. At that moment, all his brains were connected to the Eye Demon Guards. After a while, he finally sensed something amiss in the vast night sky.
He saw an inconspicuous black metal flying towards the Deity of Gods. Its size was much smaller than the iron birds, and it was almost impossible to distinguish it from the dark blue background.
The cylindrical object immediately made Mask think of the explosives that the Fury of Heaven Roars had previously thrown … But did the humans make such a big fuss just for this?
Even so, Nassaupelle still ordered his subordinates to activate the magic power barrier.
It was also at this moment that an extremely bright flame bloomed in the sky!
This was also the last scene he saw through the Eye Demon Guards.
The beam of light lasted for less than a blink of an eye before all the Eye Demon Guards severed their connection with him. What was left in his mind was an extremely scorching pain and a white light.
He could not help but growl!
But this was not the end.
The Deity of Gods seemed to be pushed by something as the city within it trembled violently. The dome let out a sharp wail as the ground collapsed. Nassaupelle felt his feet sink as though he was floating.
…
Tilly did not see the moment of the explosion.
Even though she had prepared a pair of black sunglasses, it was extremely unlikely for her to catch a glimpse of the explosive thrown from a height of 7,000 meters with her naked eyes. Furthermore, wearing sunglasses made her already terrible vision pitch-black. After a few attempts, she gave up on the idea.
Hence, when the world lit up, Tilly realized what had happened.
At that moment, her back was facing the Deity of Gods. In an instant, the wings of the plane were illuminated with a dazzling radiance. Even the rivets on them could be seen clearly. As for the parts that protruded out of the plane, a striking shadow was pulled out!
In the past, only the first rays of dawn could illuminate the silhouette of all things in the night sky, causing the darkness to shrink back.
Tilly took a deep breath and tilted her head —
A gigantic fireball appeared hundreds of meters above the Deity of Gods. Even though its brightness was rapidly decreasing, it was still able to illuminate the floating fortress.
Green smoke billowed out from the majestic blackstone walls, as though it had been swept by a gust of air. But Tilly knew that it was not a gust of air, but a light that had reached a certain degree. It could produce an impact like a tangible object, and ignite easily flammable objects.
At the same time, the fireball's exterior distorted as a ripple rapidly spread outwards. If not for the Deity of Gods serving as a backdrop, she would not have been able to see such a shocking scene.
The ripple first collided with the floating fortress below, as though a gigantic palm had slammed onto a dusty wooden table. A large amount of dust was instantly stirred up, nearly covering the entire surface of the vertebral body. Following that was the other parts of the Deity of Gods, and finally the ground. From the sequence of the rising smoke, it was obvious that the ripple was not an illusion, but something real.
It continued to expand after hitting the ground and pounced towards the fleet!
"Prepare to attack!" Tilly raised the radio microphone and roared.
"Boom —!"
At this moment, the earth-shattering explosion reached her ears.
The silence of the night was finally broken. Accompanied by the rumbling, the plane trembled violently. At the same time, under the influence of the shockwave, the plane's body plummeted as though it had lost control, only stabilizing itself after a few seconds.
The loud sound was like the ringing of a bell that split the heavens and earth, announcing the arrival of dawn. A ray of morning light shone across the mountain ridge and onto the land.
The fireball had already turned into a yellowish-brown pillar of smoke. Its roots were deeply embedded into the Deity of Gods, while its top continued to rise, fusing with the layers of clouds.
Tilly gave the command to change direction once again.
When the fleet flew to the east, she finally saw the Deity of Gods shrouded in smoke and dust.
Overall, it did not seem to be affected much. Compared to the trees that had fallen to the ground, it continued to hover steadily in midair.
But the explosion did not leave it unscathed — the top of the obsidian pyramid that was faintly discernible in the smoke and dust had a huge hole!
