On the dark and deep street, the sudden sound of metal scraping on the ground made one's scalp tingle, especially when the sound was like dense raindrops hitting one's eardrums.
Lotus suddenly screamed, "Look, what is that!?" Brendel looked back and saw the girl with a pair of oversized glasses covering her mouth, pointing to a spot not far away with a horrified expression. There was a collapsed building in that direction. The huge metal structure was blown apart from the inside, and the metal wreckage and glass shards piled up like a mountain, covering a crossroad. The ruins were covered with dust, as if it had been buried in the long river of history. At this moment, countless beetle-like creatures were pouring out from the ruins, like a black stream, rushing towards them.
These beetles were about the size of a football, and looked like Coleoptera beetles. Their keratinized wings were covered with dark red veins, and a pair of compound eyes flashed with a dim red light in the dark. But the most eye-catching thing was their huge mouthparts, which were more than a foot long, like a pair of sharp blades.
When they were discovered, hundreds of thousands of beetles spread their wings, and a sharp whistle sounded as if the air was ignited. A black wall suddenly rose up in front of everyone's eyes, and a black storm rained down on them.
"Beetle larvae!" Aloz screamed.
Brando stepped out from the crowd, and pointed the tip of his sword in the direction of the beetles. The tip of the sword shone with a dazzling light, and a layer of translucent hexagonal network fell from the sky. The beetles immediately hit the network like raindrops, and fell to the ground.
He looked back, and shouted to everyone with a serious face, "Run!"
Everyone looked around, and found that the disgusting creatures were everywhere, and their numbers were uncountable. The squeaking sound was the sound of the beetles crawling on the metal ground.
"We are surrounded, Mr. Brando!" Princess Magadal shouted anxiously.
Brando took a deep breath, and felt guilty for his negligence. The city attracted too much of his attention, and he did not notice the threat close at hand. However, these Horseshoe Mites were not simply hiding. Otherwise, his Darkness Perception would have warned him long ago.
He closed his eyes. Everyone heard a soft buzzing sound, and a layer of black ripples swept out in all directions with Brendel as the center. It was as if there was a visible airflow that made everyone's robes flutter. When Phoenix Fire turned around, her emerald eyes reflected the scene of thousands of Locusts being swept away by the black ripples. The swarm of Locusts formed a white ripple, and from afar, this ripple was spreading at a speed faster than the speed of sound from the front to the back of the swarm.
Phoenix Huo saw this scene, and her eyes were filled with horror. She murmured, "Calm Ancient Well, the realm of Oneness of Heaven and Man … This is the materialization of the power of the soul … Teacher …"
She turned around and saw that Fang Qi was looking in that direction with admiration. The latter noticed her gaze and turned back, his dark eyes shining. "… This is what I'm after, the ultimate power."
"Me too." Phoenix Huo clenched her fists.
Brendel used Darkness Perception and Heaven's Eye's power to scan dozens of streets in an instant. Everything within a few kilometers seemed to be under his observation, and he 'saw' everything. Then he understood the source of these Horseshoe Mites.
The beetles did not appear out of thin air.
Brando tilted his head. "Aloz, do you see the building over there?"
His eyes fell on the building where the Brimstone Spear was.
"I see it."
"Can you find a way to open a passage?"
The little female dragon looked at the swarm and frowned. "Tsk, it's a little difficult."
"Miss Magadal, is it okay for you to do it?"
"Me?" Magadal asked nervously.
"Yes, you can try."
"Then … Okay, I'll try, Mr. Brando."
Magadal sighed softly and stepped forward. She looked up. Although her face was still pale due to her nervousness, she looked at the beetles with a calm gaze.
She held the Book of Gaia in her left hand and placed it across her right palm.
The magic in the air became active, and dozens of beetles let out a sharp cry. They spread their wings and flew towards them like cannonballs.
"Aloz, cover Miss Magadal."
"I know." The little female dragon's eyes shone brightly. It was these damned insects that caused her and Flora to be separated. Now, she wanted them to pay a little compensation.
She looked up, and gently opened her hands to the side. She took a deep breath, and even her small chest seemed to swell. Ah Luo opened her mouth wide, revealing her white fangs. Finally, she sneered at the bugs in front of her from the corner of her eye.
It was as if she was looking at a pile of corpses.
What followed was a roar from the Vast Expanse.
"Roar —"
The dragon's roar swept across, and the harsh sound waves caused the Lines of Law in her field of vision to vibrate at a frequency visible to the naked eye. Silver lines spread out in all directions, and as they vibrated, they formed sharp peaks and valleys. Wherever they passed, the wind howled, and sparks flew from the metal floor. The fire borrowed the strength of the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a sea of fire, engulfing the beetles that flew towards them.
Aloz opened her mouth wide, and an endless roar burst out from her small chest, forming a storm in the blink of an eye. The horseshoe beetles lowered their bodies under this terrible power, hooking their six legs tightly to the ground, as if the slightest mistake would blow them away.
At this time, Magadal's right palm drew a 120 degree arc in the air, and finally landed gently in front of her.
It was a blade.
Countless silver lines flashed in the air.
With a loud bang, half of the street seemed to have been sunk by this blade. The streets on both sides collapsed towards the center, and the low, deep sound of metal breaking echoed in the air.
Thousands of locusts were reduced to ashes by this attack.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Although Magadal had shown greater power on the previous battlefield, but in the smoke-filled battlefield, it was not as direct as this scene. Andrea had claimed more than once that Magadal was the 13th daughter of Gaia, a real Titan. And at this moment, they finally believed that this elegant and cultured princess was a descendant of the Titans.
"This power …" Lotus could not help but widen her eyes, and gasped, "Miss Magadal is also so powerful …"
"… That is not Miss Magadal's power," Phoenix Flame shook her head gently, and looked up at the city with some respect, "This is …"
"The power of Tiamat." The little female dragon finally stopped roaring. She replied excitedly, "This is the battle style of the Divine People. After tens of thousands of years, there is finally someone who can fully display the power of Lady Martha again. Although it's not complete, it already has the grandeur of the past. I've finally seen it. This is a power that even Lady Owenlos and the previous King have never seen before. It's the network of the divine people. "
"Network?"
"Legend has it that with the help of Lady Martha, the Divine People weaved a large net in this world. Everything comes from this original network. That is the first generation of the Net of Law, that is the source of the Divine People's power. In this network, anyone can become a God. They are omnipotent. "
"But, they still can't defeat the Twilight Dragon, right?" Lotus looked up at the dragon girl who was only half a head taller than her.
"Yes, but can we defeat the Twilight Dragon …" Aloz could not help but look confused. Her gaze involuntarily fell on Brendel, who was not far away.
Brando pointed at the building not far away and shouted to everyone, "Leave this place immediately, go inside, quick, now, save time —"
"Where did these beetles come from?" The little fairy Lute flew to Brendel's side during the evacuation and asked.
"They were brought in from the outside. I just 'saw' a few craters, and they all came from the nearby tunnels. Obviously, there were eggs that fell into those places." Brando pointed to the sky, "They came from 'there'."
"Who brought them, Akentu?"
"It is possible, but it is more likely that they were originally sealed together with Akentu, and when the seal was broken, they came to this world."
"How is that possible?" Lute shouted in surprise.
"There is such a possibility, if these insects were together with the demons, and were an advance army. When they tried to invade the Stagnation Realm, they were ambushed by the ancestors of the Bugas, and as a result, were forever sealed outside the Stagnation Realm, until today, when they saw the light of day again. "
Brando maintained the Wall of Law behind him, while looking at the possible threats on both sides of the street. Magadal's attack just now almost eliminated all the threats in this direction.
"In that case, why didn't the ancestors of the Bugas kill them in one fell swoop? Why did they make such a troublesome and dangerous thing like sealing them?" Lute was puzzled, "Could it be that they didn't foresee the situation today?"
"Of course they could foresee it, but what if they had to do it? For example, it was beyond their ability, or, at that time, the ancestors of the Bugas did not have enough time to complete all of this. "
