The white beam of light that suddenly pierced the sky not only startled the onlookers, but also Lily herself. She swallowed her scream and closed her mouth as if she was afraid of spitting something out. The remaining white light slowly flowed out from the corner of her mouth and swelled up on the hair on her cheeks like flowing flames.
She looked up at Lockmarton and bared her fangs, flames flying out from her mouth.
Hao Ren was stunned to see this scene. He was shocked. What was that all about? Why did Lily suddenly release a light cannon?
But when she noticed Hao Ren's astonished gaze, Lily could only shake her head in confusion. She let out a whimper from her throat. She obviously could not explain it.
The battle cries and explosions on the battlefield drew Hao Ren's attention back to the battle. He knew that now was not the time to look into the details. Lily's strange transformation could be studied later, but if Lockmarton did not finish him off soon, he would be in big trouble!
Spiral Hill had been completely embroiled in a grand and chaotic war. The entire battlefield was undergoing earth-shattering changes in the flames of war.
The battlefield could be divided into two layers.
On the ground below, the soldiers of the Sanctum Expeditionary Force were still fighting Lockmarton's minions. The flesh and blood of humans formed a torrent, constantly washing away the land that was eroded by the power of nightmares. The souls of their ancestors fought side by side with them.
After Lockmarton's physical body appeared, the monsters of Chaos seemed to have been greatly strengthened. They condensed from nothingness at an astonishing speed and fought desperately to protect Spiral Hill in the middle of the battlefield. Under the vast sea of light in the sky, the battle was particularly tragic.
White light flashed across the battlefield. It was Y 'zaks, Y' lisabet, the Nangong siblings, and the others. No matter how strong or weak they were, in this place infested by evil, the "divinity of Raven 12345" that they carried with them was the strongest power to eliminate evil. It was precisely because of their activity that the line of defense of the Sanctum Expeditionary Force could last longer without collapsing.
Above the battlefield, there was a "war at the level of the gods."
Ten wardens flew in the air and launched attack after attack on Lockmarton's tentacles and body. The three magic-powered warships seemed to represent "mortals stepping into the realm of gods with their own strength". They were the only human weapons that could fight Lockmarton at this level. Other than that, the main force of the attack was artillery, missiles, lasers, and armed autonomous drones.
Hao Ren stayed on the ground. He had to control the summoned firepower points while holding the Gungnir and Godslayer to deal with the strange things that appeared around him and Lockmarton's sweeping tentacles. The former were basically the illusion of a nightmare, but when Lockmarton was around, the illusion itself was real!
This was a combination of weapons that he rarely used, but it was especially useful at this moment.
The divine spear Gungnir had been repaired. After obtaining this "divine weapon" from Northern Europe, Hao Ren specifically asked Odin about its usage, and now he was familiar with it. In addition to its own sharpness, it could also summon energy missiles that could continuously track the target. It was perfect for dealing with those weak but elusive illusionary monsters. As for the Godslayer …
It was indeed noisy and annoying, but it was a divine weapon that could cut through everything in the truest sense!
After testing it in actual combat, Hao Ren found that the Godslayer could cut through Lockmarton's tentacles without any resistance!
With this kind of power, its chatter seemed acceptable. Perhaps it was because the Godslaying Sword realized that this was an important battle, but it was not as annoying this time. Although it still could not help but find time to speak, at least it was not as endless as usual.
A huge tentacle hung down from the clouds. It penetrated the layers of defense formed by the wardens and slammed heavily on the human army below. The massive spiritual pressure crushed the mortal army. At this moment, two white lights lit up in the mortal army. It was the divine attacks of Calaxus and the pope. The two divine spells hit the tentacle, causing it to twitch and retreat into the sky.
Lockmarton began to roar angrily in everyone's mind. It projected its terrifying image into everyone's mind and launched another round of attacks in everyone's mind. There were soldiers constantly falling into a trance and then disappearing into thin air.
These warriors had defeated countless monsters in the real world. Their bodies were still strong and unscathed, but they were defeated in the spiritual battlefield and became Lockmarton's nightmares.
But in the real world, the wardens had cut down another two huge tentacles. A round of miniature nuclear bombs bombarded the center of Lockmarton's body, shattering the clouds and blowing up the thick fog. The core area of Lockmarton was thrown into chaos.
This chaotic and massive battlefield seemed to be happening on two different levels at the same time, one in the real world and the other in the spiritual realm.
Hao Ren felt that he had been split into two. As a demigod, he could "see" what Lockmarton saw on a certain level and feel things that were beyond human perception. Sometimes, he saw the bombardment in the real world, and he saw the knights and wardens fighting against Lockmarton. Sometimes, he jumped into another battlefield. In this battlefield, he saw countless shadowy monsters and erratic lights colliding with each other. Sometimes, he saw all kinds of strange phantoms. It was like a dream.
He withdrew his consciousness from the spiritual battlefield and looked up at the sky.
Lockmarton's huge body was still floating there. The attacks did not seem to cause any damage to it, but Hao Ren could feel that the unprecedentedly powerful monster was exploding with anger.
Lockmarton was furious.
The weak mortals were challenging the King of Nightmares!
The wardens who had been defeated once still dared to come back!
A bunch of challengers who came from nowhere dared to look down on the majesty of the Great Lord!
More importantly, this bunch of weak, pitiful wretches had actually made it this far. They were still evenly matched with the Tyrant of Nightmares, and there was no sign of them being eliminated!
Hao Ren could feel Lockmarton's anger and read what he wanted to read from the anger — fear in the midst of anger.
The weak mortals had held on for so long and possessed such tenacious and indestructible strength. This was beyond Lockmarton's expectations.
As the mortal army continued to weaken and restrain the Army of Chaos, the entire Spiral Hill was completely surrounded. Lockmarton's connection with the outside world was weakening, and after losing this connection, the wardens' attacks were starting to pose a threat to him.
Not to mention the endless and powerful firepower bombardment.
"Geddon!" After sensing the change in Lockmarton's emotions, Hao Ren immediately called for the Lord of the Mountains. Before they set off, he had asked Geddon to bring a mind converter with him to ensure instant communication during the battle. "Lockmarton is losing his patience and confidence."
The Lord of the Mountains immediately gave instructions to his comrades, and all the wardens unleashed their full strength, as if they had completely given up on defense and hope of survival. They launched a ferocious attack on Lockmarton, as if they wanted to perish together with him!
Even as strong as Lockmarton was, he was "flustered" and "dizzy" after the sudden attack. Hao Ren noticed that most of its tentacles began to shrink towards the center, and the number of monsters shuttling through the battlefield had suddenly decreased.
Hao Ren immediately connected to the real world and sent a command code to Lady Gloom, who was on standby.
Lockmarton temporarily went on the defensive. Although it was a crazy and illogical monster, some of its instincts still remained in its mind. Facing this unprecedented situation, it was confused and uneasy.
What went wrong?
Why did the wardens suddenly regain their fighting spirit?
What gave them the confidence to do so? Weren't they always afraid of death?
What were these insects trying to do?
Hao Ren himself had the inexplicable ability to read the minds of high-level creatures in the Plane of Dreams, and now he was so close to Lockmarton. Lockmarton's special attribute made a large area around him its "mind permeating zone", so at this distance, Hao Ren had directly entered Lockmarton's mind!
Due to the huge difference in their way of thinking, and Lockmarton's mind was too contaminated, Hao Ren could not directly read Lockmarton's memory. But with his demigod status, Hao Ren could still directly sense Lockmarton's emotional changes.
Especially as the battle went on, these emotional changes became more and more obvious and intense.
"It's time," Hao Ren hinted to Geddon, the Lord of the Mountains.
So the ten wardens in the air roared at the same time, and then another kind of power exploded from them.
It was the power of a god. Although it was not very familiar, and although there seemed to be some strange mutation, from the form and nature of the power, it was indeed the power of a true god. In Lockmarton's worldview and knowledge, there was only one god, and that was the goddess of creation.
The goddess of creation was resurrected? Was she back? Or was she not dead all this time? Or did these wardens find the legacy left behind by the goddess? Could it be that this legacy was specially arranged by her to deal with the failure of the shelter?!
In the blink of an eye, the war turned from a desperate struggle of mortals into a premeditated, well-planned, well-prepared, and highly successful hunt!
When the most terrifying thing in the past ten thousand years happened, even the Lord of Nightmares himself would fall into a nightmare.
Hao Ren saw all of Lockmarton's tentacles retract in an instant, and the power of Chaos around Spiral Hill disappeared in the blink of an eye. Layers of defensive power appeared around the huge chunk of flesh in the air, and then a powerful energy wave exploded from the monster's body. Under the energy wave, the entire space around Spiral Hill trembled unstably.
Then, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky above Spiral Hill, and a strange starry sky shone brightly outside the crack. In the starry sky, there were many glowing, strangely structured things floating in the air.
Lockmarton's body instantly passed through the crack and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
The prison that had been indestructible for ten thousand years, the divine barrier that Lockmarton had struggled so many times to no avail, opened an opening and "released" the prisoners inside.
At the last moment when the huge chunk of flesh passed through the crack, Hao Ren heard Lockmarton's last thought in the rapidly dissipating "mind field":
"Huh?"
