Looking at Hao Ren's high-spirited face, Hessiana could not find a place to vent her anger. She had to admit that Hao Ren was right: only Hao Ren could come up with such a crazy plan.
Bombarding the long-range missiles with firepower was a small problem. The most difficult thing was to deal with the phantoms in the sky. Hessiana had considered the possibility of breaking out of the encirclement in the air from the beginning, but the energy cloud of tens of thousands of wraiths over Tartarus was not something that an ordinary person could handle. Even Hasse could not say that he could get through it unscathed.
So riding a missile across Tartarus sounded cool, but in fact, no one present had even thought about it — except for Hao Ren.
He had the highest defense (Steel Membrane Shield) and the strongest negative energy resistance among all the people present. Although it was hard to tell from his appearance, this guy's glittering title of "Pope" was real! Since the day he signed the labor contract with Raven 12345, Hao Ren had a very high resistance to all supernatural negative energy damage, and his resistance to pure energy creatures like the phantoms was even higher!
So, Hao Ren's way of breaking out of the encirclement was not something that the average person could learn.
"Okay, okay, I know you're good," Hessiana said as she looked at Hao Ren dusting himself off. She had to admit that the guy's way of solving the problem had surprised her again. "You win this time. But the copper palace is up ahead. God knows what else is in there. You'd better recover quickly."
Hao Ren looked at his Steel Membrane Shield, which had dimmed a lot. In addition to the transparent light of the Steel Membrane Shield, there was a faint milky light floating on the shield. That light was what he relied on to break through the phantoms' blockade unscathed. The source of its power came from Raven 12345, and the foundation of its existence was Hao Ren's "faith" in Raven 12345. But after asking himself many times, Hao Ren had realized that all his faith in the goddess was based on "free anyway." So, he was very surprised that he could use divine spells. He really could not expect his Holy Shield to recover in a short time.
"The defense may be a little compromised, but you don't have to worry about the attack power." Hao Ren sighed. "But I guess there won't be too much of a threat in the copper palace. The demon hunters won't be reluctant to use the holy water when they attack this place."
Hasse nodded. "Of course, you can rest assured. The number of undead that can be resurrected in the copper palace is definitely not more than two digits."
They crossed the first layer of the copper palace wall, and the palace of Hades towered in front of them. The huge black tower that connected Mount Olympus and the Underworld stood at the highest point of the palace. Layers of complex mechanical structures and sheet metal plates were constantly operating on the tower, producing a continuous low buzzing sound.
There were traces of battle everywhere in the copper palace.
The buildings and the ground that had been melted by the Sacred Flame had cooled and solidified, forming a strange and inexplicable metal wreckage and ruins. The bodies of the powerful guards who were once stationed in the palace were scattered across the open space between the three layers of walls. The silver-white flame was still burning quietly on some of the more powerful undead, and broken demon hunter swords were scattered around these once powerful bodies.
Obviously, in order to break through this fortress, even the demon hunters had paid a high price.
But the bodies of the demon hunters had been taken away by their comrades, and only the desolate wreckage of the losers lay here.
As Hasse said, the demon hunters had used powerful sacred weapons and spells when they attacked the copper palace. So even though the copper palace was surrounded by a more powerful force of death, the wreckage here did not rise again like on the plains outside.
Along a passage directly burned through by the Sacred Flame, the group passed through the three layers of walls, passed through the ruins of the inner temple of Hades, and finally came to the foot of the rotating black metal tower.
Along the way, there were only a few wandering monsters that were not even a nuisance to them.
The metal tower was located on a cylindrical platform, surrounded by a circle of extremely thick walls. It was impossible to tell whether the walls were made of metal or stone. Its color was so deep that it almost completely absorbed the surrounding light. Even the space around the walls seemed to be distorted, forming a circle of slightly curved lens effect. There were vague dark stripes wandering on the lower half of the circle of walls. Just a glance was enough to make ordinary people feel dizzy.
Hao Ren saw the giant who was nailed to the wall at first glance.
The giant was wearing a black robe, about four meters tall, and a crown of thorns on his head. His pale, dry hair hung down from his face, covering his hideous face that had been eroded by the power of darkness all year round. He was nailed to the wall with his head down. Several gleaming silver-white swords had pierced his chest, and the hilt of one of the swords was wrapped in a sacred flame.
A broken black sword fell on the ground not far away. As the power of darkness dissipated, the giant sword was evaporating into a cloud of hazy smoke at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is Hades," Hasse said, pointing to the giant nailed to the wall. "Behind him is the Sighing Wall."
"Do we have to climb over this wall?" Hessiana glanced at the wall, which looked extraordinarily sturdy, and then looked over the wall at the metal tower. "It seems difficult to make a hole."
"No, the Sighing Wall has been broken," Hasse said, raising his hand to point to the other side of the wall. "We can go straight in from there."
Hao Ren frowned and looked over. "There seems to be something over there."
Hasse nodded slightly. "It is the guard of the Sighing Wall."
They came to the breach of the Sighing Wall and found a huge crack. In the open space less than ten meters in front of the crack, there was an unusually large body lying dead on the ground.
It was a three-headed black hound that would be four meters tall if it stood up. Its fur was as hard as steel, and each of its heads was embedded with ferocious-looking steel plates and spikes. There were traces of intense battles all around the hound. Countless silver shards of weapons seemed to be telling of how powerful this monster used to be.
But it was still dead. The stronger demon hunters had cut off the trachea of two heads and stabbed a long sword in the middle head.
Lily was shocked when she saw the huge dog. She jumped at least a meter and exclaimed, "Wow! That's terrible! "
Hessiana glanced at the husky maiden. "It's scary to see such a big one die in front of you."
Lily glared at Little Bat. "Who is the same kind as this three-headed guy? And my fur is much better than this monster! I'm just saying that this thing is terrifyingly ugly … "
"This is Cerberus, the most successful creation of Hades. It took the commandos a lot of effort to kill this guy," Hasse said solemnly. "Well, this guy is nothing to look at. We have to hurry. Let's stay away from this cursed body."
Hao Ren agreed. He carefully bypassed the huge body of Cerberus and was about to enter the Tower of the Underworld from behind.
But just as they passed by Cerberus, the dead synthetic monster suddenly trembled. With an indescribably horrible roar, one of Cerberus's heads suddenly rose and bit little Hessiana, who was tiptoeing behind Hao Ren.
"What the f * ck?!" As soon as the 'corpse' moved, Hao Ren realized what was going on. He turned around and saw the three-headed hellhound launching a sneak attack. At this critical moment, he pushed the frightened little girl away, put up his Steel Membrane Shield, and used his hands to block Cerberus's huge mouth that was about to close!
"Didn't you say this thing is dead?" Hao Ren roared. "How can it come back to life?"
"Damn it, the commandos must have overlooked it!" Hasse had already raised his sword and slashed at Cerberus's other head. "This thing is not a pure undead creature. Its skeleton is mechanical!"
With an ear-piercing sound of metal colliding, a piece of Cerberus's skull was cut off by Hasse. After the skull mixed with flesh and metal flew out, in addition to the beating flesh and blood tissue, there were a large number of shiny metal wires, ticking gears, and a hose flowing with green liquid!
"What the hell is the technology tree on Mount Olympus?" Hao Ren could not help but exclaim.
After a failed sneak attack, Cerberus immediately let go of Hao Ren's arm. The monster, which was a combination of necromancy, alchemy, and God-knows-what technology, suddenly jumped up and began to rampage on the battlefield.
Apparently, due to the necrosis of the biological parts, the monster was delirious.
The violent three-headed Cerberus was so agile and powerful that almost no one could keep up with its speed. At this time, only one person reacted and fought bravely.
A white shadow flashed, and Lily suddenly jumped onto Cerberus's back. She climbed on all fours to the head in the middle and began to fight the monster like a beast.
It was a fierce fight between fangs, claws, and a giant alloy sword.
"Go to hell!"
"You're so ugly, and you're trying to scare people!"
"So what if you have three heads? You can't get into Peking University even if you have three heads! "
"You're a disgrace to the Wang family. Your hair is a disgrace to the Wang family, do you know that?"
"Starburst Rending Slash!"
The ground shook. Lily, riding on Cerberus's head, unleashed an armor-piercing combo. Cerberus had already 'died' once. Even if its magic and mechanical structure were still functioning, it was not as good as before. Naturally, its combat power had dropped by many levels, especially the head in the middle. The demon hunter had pierced through the center of the head, which made it the biggest weakness of Cerberus.
The huge three-headed Cerberus could not fight back after Lily seized its weakness.
Hessiana was about to go up and help, but she stopped and even had the time to complain. "Tsk, tsk, it's a dog-eat-dog situation."
Hao Ren did not know how to answer. He could only smile awkwardly. At this moment, Lily, who was riding on Cerberus's head, cut something with her sword. Suddenly, the giant three-headed Cerberus let out an unprecedentedly terrifying roar.
Immediately after, the monster went completely mad. Its flesh and blood cracked inch by inch, and scorching steam began to erupt from its body. After another roar, the monster charged towards the inner hall of the copper palace like a main battle tank at full speed!
Lily came to her senses the moment Cerberus went completely crazy. She jumped to the ground and ran behind Hao Ren. "Mr. Landlord, Mr. Landlord, I … I seem to have made it crazy."
Before Lily could finish, she heard a loud explosion coming from the direction where Cerberus rushed out.
It seemed that the three-headed Cerberus had self-destructed, or it had smashed something in the copper palace, triggering a powerful chain of explosions.
A rumbling sound began to be heard under their feet.
Hessiana was the first to realize that something was wrong. "A three-headed Cerberus can't make such a big noise."
A faint roar came from the depths of Tartarus, and a kind of anger wrapped in the air, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
Hasse finally realized what it was.
"Damn it! Cerberus has opened the Abyss Prison, and Kronos has been released!"
