When a massive spaceship that could cover the entire Deep Blue Well was bombarded by the Firmament Orbital Station at the top of the atmosphere, it was a spectacular sight that could be seen from the surface of the planet. Of course, the heavy clouds of pollution had blocked the view of the defenders of the Tarash Plains, but for the Giant Dragon and the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft hovering above the clouds, the battle between the Sentinels and the Firmament Orbital Station was visible to the naked eye.
The Black Dragon, Coretta, and her dragons were circling in the sky. They had flown above the thick clouds, and not far above them, the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft released by the Dawn of the Dawn of the World was hovering above the critical point of the magic turbulence. The polluting clouds that covered the entire Tarash Plains undulated below them, and above them, at the end of the sky, they could vaguely see the battle outside the atmosphere.
A blurry silhouette was floating outside the atmosphere. It was the Sentinel Battleship that had entered space. It was intercepted at that altitude and was surrounded by countless tiny flashes of light. Farther away in the sky, there was a slightly distorted light curtain and an occasional beam of light. The powerful energy impact had temporarily interfered with the optical shielding system left by the navigator, exposing the Firmament Orbital Station to the world for a brief moment.
A fellow dragon flew beside Koretta and said in a low voice, "Sir, in space … something seems to be fighting with the Sentinels."
"… It's the Firmament Orbital Station's firepower." Koretta obviously knew more than the average soldier. She instinctively looked at the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and said in a low voice, "I don't know what's going on, but it seems that … our allies are prepared for this situation."
"Then what should we do next?" the Giant Dragon soldier asked. "The battle in space is already …"
"The battle in space is beyond our capabilities," Coretta said in a low voice as she slowly descended towards the clouds. "The defensive line on the ground needs support. The battle is not over yet. Those out-of-control monsters are still attacking the purification devices everywhere. Before the barricade is fully activated, we still have things to do."
The dragons let out a majestic roar in the clouds. Under the Black Dragon's lead, the massive figures turned around and dived into the thick clouds below without hesitation. They passed through the thick clouds and the dust clouds floating above the land. The war-torn Tarash Plains came into Koretta's sight like a giant curtain.
She saw the dim light of the Deep Blue Well creeping quietly in the center of the land. The light of the purification tower penetrated the clouds. The mutants, who had completely lost their command, were driven by instinct to rush toward the mortals. The wreckage of the Creeping Calamity covered the northern wasteland. Scorching lava flowed between the hills. Thick, poisonous blood steamed in the heat. The mortal allied forces formed an iron wall, supporting the final line of defense on this land that was more terrible than purgatory. Then, the dragons descended from the sky and rushed toward their allies who were fighting on the ground.
Outside the thick atmosphere, under the distant stars, in the dark space, sublight particles penetrated the Sentinel's thick force field shield. The chaotic gravitational field released by the gravitational bullets was tearing apart the solid armor of the ancient starship. Hundreds of space interceptors swarmed around the towering starship like a swarm of bloodthirsty bees. Under the intense fire of the anti-air missiles, wave after wave of space interceptors tore into the steel-forged flesh.
Gwen did not hesitate, nor did he show any mercy. He activated all the weapon systems he could. Due to the loophole in the identification mechanism, he had successfully removed the Sentinel as an "allied unit" from Firmament Station's identification mechanism. But he dared not bet on whether the enemy had any other way to turn the situation around. So all he could do was to throw all the weapons at the enemy.
After all, he was not a real navigator, so he did not really understand the complex combat system of Firmament Station. He would not be able to come up with a strategy, and Block A was the best he could do at the moment.
The Sentinel was very powerful. The main starship had the power to crush all the civilizations on this planet, but as a sub-unit of the Sentinel system, it was obviously no match for the more powerful Firmament. Under the intense fire, the giant starship that looked like a floating mountain finally began to disintegrate. Its shield was almost completely extinguished, and the melted and fractured main structure was exposed under the armor plates. Countless flowing streams of light were bursting out in the torn areas, and the multiple fractures in the energy pipelines made it extremely difficult for the starship to maintain its posture. But even so, it was … still 'alive'.
"Meaningless, all of this is meaningless …" In the public channel, the voice of the Sentinel echoed like a nightmare. "All the struggles are meaningless. All the redemption is meaningless. The Navigator has disappeared into the depths of the sea of stars and has not looked back for millions of years. Countless civilizations have disappeared in the river of time, and all the beauty and ugliness have gone with the wind. Why are you so obsessed with this worthless reincarnation? You … should be a higher existence … "
"… It seems that you do have a 'heart'," Gawain replied calmly. "The Reverse Tide has given you a human heart, allowing you to learn anger, jealousy, hatred, and fear. But there's more to a human heart … However, as you said, it's meaningless to talk about this now."
In the combat ring of the Firmament Station, a huge weapon had finally completed the long charging process. The armor covering the weapon platform opened like a curtain layer by layer, and the vertebral structure, which was filled with dazzling white light, extended out from the base. It adjusted its angle slightly in space and quickly locked on to the sentinel.
"Splitting Beam ready. Release in five seconds. Countdown, five, four …"
The Sentinel was enveloped in smoke and fire. It sensed that the deadly weapon had locked onto it, but at this moment, it gave up on the meaningless counterattack. With the last of its energy support, the Sentinel struggled to adjust its posture. The bow slowly pointed at the beautiful blue and white planet below. The shattered armor at the front of the Sentinel exploded, and a dark red light gathered at the end of the energy conduits. It was blazing but silent.
"… Three, two, one … Beam."
A pale beam of light, mixed with a lot of noise, blasted out from Firmament Station and hit the middle of the Sentinel's hull. The energy contained in the beam spread throughout the entire structure of the Sentinel in the blink of an eye. In just a moment, the surface of the Sentinel was covered with countless pale cracks. The uncontrollable energy began to surge and burn the interior of the Sentinel. It burned down all the cabins, walls, energy conduits, and the metal tanks that stored the flesh of Amoun the Giant Deer.
A series of explosions began. In this great tearing from the inside out, the Sentinel gradually disintegrated into several larger wreckage, and then further into smaller pieces. Countless pieces of hot metal scattered in space and were captured by the planet's gravity and began to fall into the atmosphere like a storm. In the public channel, Gwen heard the last sigh. "Finally … the service is over …"
"Target activity has disappeared, pollution source has disappeared, battle is over … weapon system shut down, energy mode returned to normal."
The Firmament Station's system began to report the result of the battle. However, Gwen was not in the mood to listen to the battle report. The moment he confirmed that the Sentinel had disintegrated, he began to quickly withdraw his consciousness and returned to his body on the planet's surface. Of course, before that, he did not forget to completely disable the hostile mark on "Amoun the Giant Deer" from the Firmament Station's system.
A more intense dizziness than usual suddenly hit Gwen. The aftereffect of controlling the Firmament Station's weapon system and rapidly transferring consciousness made everything in his field of vision shake violently when he opened his eyes. But he forcibly dispelled the discomfort in his head with sheer willpower. He then got up and quickly walked towards the window. Amber, who had been waiting by the side, immediately sensed something. She quickly caught up with him. "What's going on? Did you win or lose up there? "
"I won." Gwen quickly came to the window, his hand on the windowsill as he looked at the sky. The serious look on his face startled Amber. "But before the Sentinel disintegrated, it launched something at the ground. I don't know if I succeeded in intercepting it, then …"
His words came to an abrupt halt.
Amber came to Gwen's side. She looked up in the same direction as the latter. Her eyes slowly widened and her face gradually turned pale.
In the distant sky, a dark red light appeared in the depths of the thick and dirty clouds. It was as if a blood-red sun was falling from the clouds. The light quickly dyed the clouds in a layer of dark red. Then, the clouds split open, and the light like a giant sun fell from the sky. The process was silent, and seemed to take a long time.
Everyone on the battlefield saw the falling 'blood-red sun'. It passed through the thick atmosphere and clouds, and then silently fell a little north of the Deep Blue Well, falling among the flesh and blood of the Creeping Calamity.
The Tarash Plain fell into a dead silence.
However, nothing happened. The expected explosion that could destroy the world did not come, nor was there any tearing or shaking that shook the world. The cluster of light was like an illusion that quietly fell and quietly sank into the wreckage of the creeping disaster. It finally disappeared into the undulating mountains of flesh and blood, and there was not the slightest ripple.
"This …" Amber was a little confused. "Is this the final blow of the Sentinel? Why is it not as big as a 'p'? "
Gwen was also in a daze. But soon, he noticed that something seemed to be happening in the depths of the Creeping Calamity. His face instantly turned serious. "Wait, something's not right … there seems to be something in there …"
Almost as soon as his voice trailed off, something strange happened!
On the ground in the distance, the massive wreckage that should have completely lost its life suddenly made a sound.
It was the sound of a heartbeat.
The entire Tarash Plain heard the heartbeat. It was low, but it sounded directly in the mind of every intelligent creature.
It was as if the heart of the planet itself was beating.
Then, there was a second 'thump'.
In the depths of the Creeping Calamity, the flesh and blood that had completely lost its life suddenly wriggled after the second heartbeat. It was as if infinite vitality was injected into the wreckage out of thin air. The charred and withered biological tissues began to move again. They gathered, clustered, and coiled. Between the scorched hills and plains, between the flowing lava and poisonous blood, the new flesh and blood turned into a placenta-like 'sacrificial ground' in the blink of an eye. And in the depths of this terrible breeding ground, a translucent 'thing' was slowly bulging.
The reconnaissance aircraft released by the Dawn of the Earthly World arrived above the wreckage of the Creeping Calamity. The horrible scene was instantly transmitted to the rear. On the scorched and withered land, an embryo had rapidly grown to maturity. Something terrible was struggling to tear the tissue wrapped around its surface and kept rising into the sky.
A small part of its body had drilled out. Its body was made of horrible and shapeless flesh and blood, with countless twisted limbs, mouths, tongues, and eyes growing on it. This creature was like a clumsy baby painting. Its entire body was a pile of completely chaotic and crazy structures. And as its huge body broke away from the 'placenta' bit by bit, as its' essence 'gradually broke free from the gap between nightmare and reality, more and more people on the battlefield witnessed its existence.
People heard the sound of a baby crying — the sound of millions of cries stacked together. The sound seemed to tear apart reason and soul as it swept wildly over the Tarash Plain. And in this strange cry and the increasingly loud heartbeat, the crazy and chaotic flesh was still struggling to break free, little by little "squeezing" itself into the real world that did not welcome it.
He was "squeezing" with great difficulty, as if a powerful force was preventing and delaying his arrival. However, he was still entering the material world little by little. All kinds of terrifying and maddening visions and pressure began to spread all over the battlefield.
Now, Gwen knew what the sentinel's last "backup plan" was.
It did not just open a passage.
The power of the Deep Blue Net allowed the sentinel's body to enter the physical world, and the wreckage of the Creeping Calamity … was the seedbed that allowed the "reverse tide" to be "born" in the mortal world.
It was just that the reverse tide was obviously suppressed by some force, so it could not successfully descend into the real world. And the energy released by the sentinel at the last moment was to help it escape.
But at this moment, thinking of this … could not help him turn the situation around.
The nearby magic net terminal suddenly rang. Gwen turned his head and saw Rosetta Augustus and Bersetia Morningstar appear in the holographic projection.
"Is that the reverse tide?" Rosetta asked directly, his expression was unusually serious.
"I think so." Gwen's face was as calm as water. "The sentinel used its last strength to send it to the real world."
"Can we still fight?" Bersetia's voice was calm.
Gwen gently took a breath, and when he exhaled again, his voice was as firm as a rock.
"Yes, we can. The reverse tide is not a god of our season. It has no ideological connection with the mortals of our season, so its mental pollution has a limited impact on us. Such an ancient god will have a mental suppression on our soldiers, but it is not enough to directly cause them to mutate. As long as we activate the divine protection and try to avoid looking directly at the target for a long time, this battle can still be fought, and …"
"And we have to fight even if we can't." Bersetia obviously knew what Gwen wanted to say. "That thing obviously did not descend into the mortal world to make friends with us."
"Then let's start preparing," Rosetta said in a deep voice. "Just treat it as hunting another god."
After going through the baptism of blood and fire, facing the battle between the Creeping Calamity and the Dawn of the World, the warriors who had survived until now on this battlefield were not afraid of an 'EsGod' that should have died in ancient times.
Mortals had already undergone a metamorphosis in this war.
Gwen nodded gently, but at this moment, he suddenly heard Amber exclaiming, "Hey, look over there!"
Gwen quickly looked up, and the next second, all of his and the other two leaders' plans turned into shock.
In front of them, the amorphous flesh floating in the sky, constantly struggling out of a thick layer of 'membrane' suddenly twitched violently. Then, all of its limbs suddenly spread out and closed as if it was drowning, trying to catch something. Then, it struggled hard for the last time. The body, which was like a 'planet of flesh', finally broke free from the membrane, time and space, and flew into the distant wilderness.
Only half of it flew out.
The loud and noisy cries of babies and the heartbeats all over the plains came to an abrupt end, and all of the crazy visions ended in an instant.
