The supercritical accelerator was the most powerful weapon of war that the human civilization had ever created. By projecting a physical 'cannonball' that was faster than the limit of a missile in a magic field, it would release terrifying energy to destroy the target the moment it stopped. The destruction it caused was simple and crude, but the underlying principle behind it was complicated and ingenious. In fact, even its creators had only explained the way the supercritical accelerator destroyed the physical object in theory after the 'unified wave model' was invented, but they could not record the specific parameters and the destruction process at that moment in any form.
People only knew that when a supercritical flying entity passed through the magic field in the natural environment at a high speed, it would accumulate a terrifying 'energy bubble' that was compressed to the extreme around itself. The bubble would be released the moment it stopped flying. Based on the description of the 'unified wave model', the violently released magic power would temporarily break through the 'boundary' between reality and illusion, destroying the stable structure of the solid matter within range and causing it to 'evaporate' in the material world. In the process, it would further release energy and create a shockwave with a huge range.
This powerful weapon was well received by the enthusiasts the moment it was introduced, and with a sufficient budget, Rebecca even built eleven accelerators on the Dawn of Earthly Dawn. Together with the first prototype, the Dawn of Earthly Dawn carried twelve of these 'super cannons', and that was the limit of what the aerial fortress could carry.
And it was not only the Dawn of Earthly Dawn that had them. Because her hand slipped and she wrote a few more numbers in the report, and it was miraculously approved, Rebecca happily installed another accelerator on each Gorgon. She had intended to install two, but the redundancy of the Gorgonian energy matrix was limited, and supporting one accelerator was the limit.
The first round of attack was not a full blast. To confirm the damage, the enemy's weakness, and to prevent any possible 'creeping disaster', the Dawn of Earthly Dawn only fired half of its accelerators in the first round of attack, and ordered the surrounding Gorgonian formations to be on standby.
It was a thunderous boom that reverberated throughout the sky. The army on the surface saw six consecutive flashes of light from the edge of the 'flying city' in the sky, and the speed of the accelerators was beyond the visual capture ability of even the most powerful of Transcendents. They only saw the flashes of light turn into straight beams, and like charged spears, bombarded the 'living mountain' at the edge of the Deep Blue Well.
Of course, the Creeping Disaster would not be unresponsive to such an obvious threat. A second before the Dawn of Earthly Dawn fired, a thick layer of energy shield appeared above the filthy flesh colossus, and in the next moment, the six accelerators bombarded the surface of the shield almost at the same time. The god-like flesh colossus showed its strength at this moment, and the energy shield blocked all of the accelerators that could flatten a small hill, and it was not until the fourth accelerator successfully destroyed the shield.
A large patch of noise appeared on the surface of the thick energy shield, and then it exploded into light particles. The fifth and sixth accelerators passed through the light particles and landed on the surface of the Creeping Disaster, and a dazzling white light ball exploded from the point of impact.
A part of the 'epidermis' of the Creeping Calamity spasmed and contracted violently at this moment. Although it could shut off its sense of pain, it was impossible to shut off the natural reaction of biological tissue when it was injured. Around the landing point of the accelerated body, a large number of blood vessels burst due to the intense pressure change. The thick, dark skin cracked like canyons as dark red blood steam gushed out from within, mixed with fragments of biological tissue that were torn apart by the shockwave. This scene was as spectacular as a group of volcanoes erupting in an instant.
However, for the wriggling disaster that was as large as a mountain range, these volcanoes that 'erupted' on the surface of its body were not a fatal problem.
"Hit confirmed!" In the control hall of the Dawn of the Earthly World, an observer reported loudly, sounding a little nervous. "Four shots were blocked by the energy shield, and two hit the target. The target is still maintaining high activity and has begun to regenerate. The destructive effect of the first round of attack … is not ideal, and no structure similar to the target's weakness was observed."
Gina Prince's face turned gloomy. The situation was as tricky as she had expected. The supercritical accelerator was powerful, but the enemy she was facing today had an exaggerated scale and amazing regeneration ability. The Creeping Disaster's' limbs' that stretched hundreds of kilometers and its physiological structure that had no specific weakness were its best defense against a 'powerful killer weapon' like the supercritical accelerator.
But it did not matter. If one round was not enough, they could just fire a few more rounds. The Creeping Disaster would bleed, and things that bleed … would die.
"Load the accelerator and order the Gorgon formation. Fire all the missiles in thirty seconds," Gina ordered loudly. "If you can't find the weakness, then don't care about the weakness. Strafe the target from the beginning to the end. Aside from its large size, that thing's local defense is not worth wasting more than two accelerators."
"Yes, sir … Target's high energy response!"
In this short period of time, the Creeping Calamity had already recovered from the limited damage caused by the previous round of bombardment. It once again raised the thousands of eyestalk 'thickets' on the surface of its body. Then, several concave structures shining with streams of light cracked open in the 'thickets'. A huge dark red ball of light flew out of the giant biological cannon's chamber and fell into the sky like a retrograde meteor.
This time, its target was still only the Dawn of the Earthly World. Even if the Gorgon formation around the latter had begun to show a high energy response, the Creeping Disaster was still unaffected as it poured all its power into the largest aerial fortress. It was hard to tell if it was some kind of intelligence or pure instinct at work.
Andesha Wendell stood on the ground and watched the mythical battle unfold between heaven and earth. It was the flying fortress and the creeping disaster on the ground. It was the lightning from the sky and the fire from the earth. This scene could even be directly placed in any religious scroll without any contradiction. But all of this was caused by the power of mortals.
The location of the battle between the Dawn of the Earthly World and the Creeping Disaster was far away from the Typhon's position, but the scale of the battle was enough for nearly two-thirds of the battlefield around the Deep Blue Well to witness the battle. Andesha did not know what the ordinary people on the battlefield would think after seeing this mythical battle, but she knew that this scene was enough to have an unforgettable impact on any soldier who believed in the gods.
Some people would probably find it difficult to pray to the gods they believed in with the same reverence and fear as before. The sages who created the original myths of the past, their imagination when describing the gods had finally touched the 'boundary' in this era. But this was not a question that Andesha, as a frontline general, should consider at this moment.
Andesha Wendell turned around and saw the purification tower that was built by her soldiers not long ago. It was glowing faintly under the dim sunlight. The purification core and runic array on the top of the tower lit up one by one. Andesha Wendell's eyes widened as she looked at the tower that was built by her soldiers not long ago. It was glowing faintly under the dim sunlight, and the purification core and runic array on the top of the tower lit up.
This was the second purification tower that the Winterwolf Knight had built after entering the Tarash Plains. It was also the last purification tower on the front line that the Typhon Empire was in charge of. It was the terminus of the blockade wall, and according to theoretical calculations, when the purification tower and the other 'terminus towers' were activated, the resonance would be enough to cover the entire Deep Blue Well and complete the 'closure' of the blockade wall.
The activation of the terminus tower meant that the final moment had arrived. Andesha Wendell took out the communication crystal that she carried with her and injected magic into it. "This is the Typhon Empire's Winterwolf Knight. The eastern terminus tower has been activated."
"Roger that. This is the Cecil First Legion." Philip's voice came from the crystal. "The northern terminus tower has been activated."
"This is the Augoray Army. The western terminus tower has been activated …." "The southern terminus tower has been activated …."
The commanders on the front lines reported back. The light from the purification towers pierced through the chaotic haze that had not dissipated for seven centuries over the Tarash Plains. After all four towers were activated, Andesha heard a magnetic and dignified female voice from the communication crystal. "This is the 'Tower'. The activation of the terminus tower has been detected. Commencing the activation of all the blockade wall nodes in the wasteland. Please persevere until victory."
It was an unfamiliar voice. Many of the low-ranking officers did not even know about the 'Tower' codename for this joint operation. But Andesha's lips curled up slightly. She looked up and saw the purification tower behind her emitting a brilliant beam of light. In the distance, under the cover of the dusky sky, beams of light lit up one after another …
A slight tremor came from afar. Endless malice and murderous intent surrounded the battlefield beneath her feet. The roars of the mutants and the biochemical beasts reverberated across the land. Andesha unsheathed the Knight's sword from her waist. She knew that the filth on the land had been completely enraged. The energy field released by the activation of the terminus tower was gradually compressing the last living space of the monsters. For this, they would erupt with all their strength and attack every single defensive line on the Tarash Plains.
"For our continuation!"
Gwen sat quietly in the frontline command post. His face was shrouded in shadows like a frozen statue. Amber stood beside him like a sentinel. Although her petite figure could not give off the 'dignity of a guard', when she stood there, every general and soldier knew that the emperor was not to be disturbed at this moment.
Gwen's consciousness went beyond this shell and slowly rose up. Finally, he came to the center of the stars. He looked down at the land and saw light in the darkness.
The core of the wasteland was still shrouded in thick, turbid clouds. Coupled with powerful energy interference, all of these made it impossible for the advanced satellite surveillance system to see the scene in the depths of the chaos. But in the midst of the chaos, he saw a few spots of light piercing through the haze like sharp swords piercing the sky. And beyond these spots of light, there were many dim spots of light that lit up one after another. It was like a great wall that extended in the wasteland towards the edge of the civilized world.
He knew that Milmina had begun to 'adjust' the barricade wall. She was' patrolling 'the towers, turning all her observations and calculations on the wasteland over the past few months into the parameters needed for the barricade wall to operate.
This work could be done by mortals with enough manpower and material resources, but as the designer of the wall, no one was more suitable than Mirmina for this job.
A god, as a mortal, as a mortal, fighting on the battlefield of mortals without any worship or chains of faith. Vaguely, Gwen felt that he had grasped the key to something.
"Communication signal received."
A voice suddenly rang in Gwen's mind. It was a notification that he had never heard before. But after a brief moment of surprise, Gwen was calmer than he thought. He connected the signal.
In the first few seconds after the connection was connected, Gwen did not hear any voice. But he still waited patiently and guessed what the voice would say to him. And when the voice finally broke the silence, what 'they' said surprised Gwen. "This is beautiful, isn't it?"
Gwen was silent for two seconds. He did not expect himself to be so calm. "Are you referring to this planet, or the civilization on this planet, or this scene that you have created?"
"Everything," the voice that seemed to be made up of two voices said faintly. "Birth, prosperity, decline, everything is a cycle. If civilization itself is beautiful, so is its decline."
"… So is your decline."
"You have begun to touch the mortal side, Firmament. But this is good. We can't escape this abyss." The voice of the sentinel seemed to have a smile. "I can feel that you are looking forward to my destruction. But you should also know that you can't take the initiative to attack your own 'compatriots', and I … have prepared a lot of surprises for your 'toys' …"
That signal disappeared, just like how it had come without a trace.
On the ground, north of the Deep Blue Well, the powerful energy shock after the second round of supercritical accelerator strike was gradually dissipating. Deep in the scorching interference cloud, the surface of the massive body of the creeping catastrophe was covered with scorching 'rifts' and scorched 'scars'.
It seemed to have quieted down.
"Is it … destroyed?" In the control hall, a technical sergeant muttered to himself. "That's it?"
Gina Prince stared at the holographic projection. She heard the technical sergeant muttering to himself and slowly frowned. "Don't relax. It shouldn't be so easy. That thing …"
Before her voice trailed off, there was a sudden change.
There was an amazing energy reaction in the flesh and blood giant creeping beside the Deep Blue Well again!
The damaged limbs quickly healed, and the organs that had turned into steam in the overload grew again from the flesh and blood reserves. On the surface of the dark and dirty 'living mountain,' depressions that represented the biological cannons once again appeared in front of everyone. More powerful magic than before was surging in it, and in the flashing black-red light, there was a trace of flowing blue flame.
"The target is still alive! The target is still alive! High-energy reaction! "
