The night sky was dark. Only the faint moonlight illuminated a small area.
A dozen red spots of light were exceptionally eye-catching in the sky.
"What a powerful radiation reaction …!" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes as he stared at the dozen scarlet spots of light.
"Powerful weapons like strategic nuclear warheads?"
He raised his right hand high.
"Whizz!"
The ground shook slightly. Countless black palms exploded and turned into black tentacles formed from raw ores.
These tentacles coiled around each other and kept rising into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they formed a huge black vine tree with a diameter of 1,000 meters.
The huge root system at the base caused the vine tree to become thinner the higher it went. When it reached the height of 1,000 meters, it was already like a sharp thorn.
"You're trying to make me leave with just this? It's far from enough … "Lu Sheng spread his fingers. The poison dragon and the white lion's bodies were coiled and lifted high into the air. They were wrapped inside the huge vine tree. They frantically tried to break free, but it was to no avail.
They were not the only ones. The remaining Iron Screen generals and the four generals were also crippled. They were wrapped in the roots and mixed into the huge tree.
The other six members of the Seven Leaves army were lifted high into the air by the huge mechanical hands. They stood dozens of meters below Lu Sheng.
"Lin Lin …" Esha suddenly spoke up. "When I was attacked, that girl … helped me … Can you …?"
Lu Sheng followed Esha's gaze. He saw Quan Shihui, who was wrapped in vines with an apathetic expression.
This girl, who was once heroic and hearty, was now dressed in rags. Her eyes were filled with death. The sleeves of her blouse were torn, and there were a few holes in her skirt. Her stockings were also torn with large holes.
However, she did not resist at all. There was an obvious wound on her chest and abdomen. Blood was seeping out of it. The wound was severe. It almost reached her internal organs. Judging from her complexion, she seemed to have been bleeding for a while.
"Where's the Light of the Northern Mountain? Has he escaped? " Lu Sheng controlled the black tentacles to bring Quan Shihui over. He placed her on another huge mechanical hand below him.
The entire Platinum Academy had been reduced to a world of black mechanical hands.
A large number of black hands extended from the ground like a forest, and then broke down and fused into the vines of the black tree.
Some of the black hands that soared into the sky hadn't completely disintegrated. They were still there, like ancient towering trees and pitch-black stone pillars.
In reality, Lu Sheng could not control all the black hands perfectly. He could only control a portion of the black hands with his own power. After all, although his Harmonizing Power was sufficient, this body of his did not carry much weight.
Therefore, even though it had been strengthened as much as possible by the Modifier, it wasn't an easy task to carry the entire Grieving King in one go.
Lu Sheng's main focus was to control them separately, one area at a time.
At this time, more than ten red dots were flying over from the edge of the night sky, attracting everyone's attention.
The Light of the Northern Mountain was hiding in a corner of the ruins. When he raised his head and saw the red dot in the sky, he could not help but tighten his grip on the long spear in his hand.
"Intercontinental Death Ray … How cruel …" He wanted to run, but he knew very well the radiation range of the Death Ray. He knew that even if he ran now, it was too late.
The Death Ray could easily cover an area of a few thousand meters.
More than half of Platinum City would be completely destroyed by this radiation. How determined did the federation have to be to order the firing of so many Death Ray Cannons?
He had no way of knowing.
Now, the only thing he could do was pray. He prayed that the colossal figure that was a thousand meters tall could really withstand the Death Ray Cannons.
Otherwise, everyone would die together.
"However, even if it can withstand the attacks, I'll have to be prepared." The Light of the Northern Mountain was never a selfless person.
When he met up with Deputy Screen Master Quan Shihui, they were ambushed by a large number of black hands. He had no choice but to launch a sneak attack on Quan Shihui, greatly reducing her speed. He had no choice but to stay behind and cover the retreat while he quickly left.
He did not regret this. He knew very well that he carried the most important mission. As long as he was still around, the Iron Screen was still around, and there was still a chance for the federation to rise again in the future.
However, if he were to die, the Iron Screen might …
"It's time to go … Help me block the attacks." The Light of the Northern Mountain looked at the incomparably tall and terrifying colossal figure from afar. He turned around and swiftly dashed toward one of the underground laboratories.
He made no sound when he moved. It was as if the wind was slowly flowing out of a hole.
"Screen Master. Where do you think you're going? "
Suddenly, he heard a familiar female voice. It was the voice of a person whom he had clearly seen being swallowed by the tentacles and completely perish.
"You …!?" The Light of the Northern Mountain turned his face toward the source of the voice.
Quan Shihui stood silently on a cluster of black roots. She looked down at him from above.
"Screen Master … That slash of yours really hurt me …"
The Light of the Northern Mountain met her deathly eyes. His movements stiffened.
The two of them stared at each other for a moment.
"Pcchht!"
In an instant, he retreated rapidly. He stomped on the ground and created a huge crater. He borrowed the tremendous reaction force to shoot backward and fly out of the academy.
However, at the same time, countless huge black hands rose from the direction he flew out from. They were like layers of iron walls.
"Bam! Bam bam bam bam bam! "
Amidst a series of collisions, the impact of Light of the Northern Mountain's retreat was negated. His entire body was embedded into the black mechanical hands. He was bound by a large number of metal tentacles and pressed down.
"Boom!"
The ground shook violently. The black mechanical hands grabbed the Light of the Northern Mountain and slammed him into the ground. The terrifying impact and pressure immediately shifted his internal organs. Even though he was wearing armor, his body was a bloody mess.
"Iron Screen, it's over." Quan Shihui walked up to the Light of the Northern Mountain. The short blade in her hand twisted, spun, and elongated. It turned into a thin sword that resembled a spike.
"Ah!"
The Light of the Northern Mountain broke free from the tentacles. A thin white screen of light shone from his body. With the help of this screen of light, he shot into the air. He fended off several tentacles that came charging at him from all directions. Then, he bolted out of the academy.
However, before he could get far, a huge hand that was more than thirty meters wide came crashing down.
"Bam!"
A huge palm print instantly appeared on the ground.
The huge hand lifted and moved away. Quan Shihui walked to the edge of the palm print. She lowered her head and looked at this big brother whom she had once admired.
"Remember, don't let me meet you in your next life."
The thin sword suddenly stabbed forward like a venomous snake. It accurately pierced the left side of the Light of the Northern Mountain's armor.
"Pfft."
Blood splattered all over Quan Shihui.
However, she did not loosen her grip. She merely watched silently as the Light of the Northern Mountain's life force rapidly diminished.
Unfortunately, the Light of the Northern Mountain did not show the slightest hint of regret even in death.
Quan Shihui lifted her head and looked at the top of the huge vine in the sky.
Sharp spikes suddenly extended from the top of the vine. They charged toward the dozen red dots that were flying toward them. The instant they were about a hundred meters away, the spikes suddenly exploded and transformed into countless black roots.
In an instant, the earth seemed to have plunged into darkness. The countless roots that exploded from the vine blotted out most of the moonlight. It was like a black net.
A large number of roots shot out from the main body. They were like countless spikes. They shot toward the dozen red dots like raindrops.
"Boom!"
The first dot was completely detonated in midair.
Blinding red light dyed most of the night sky red in the blink of an eye. A huge hole was blasted in the clouds. The clouds burned violently as if they were set ablaze.
Then, the second, third, fourth …
The dots were detonated by the numerous spikes.
In the blink of an eye, it was as if a dozen blinding red suns had appeared in the sky. These suns only lasted for a few seconds. However, the effect they brought was to plunge the entire Platinum City into daylight.
"Nobody can stop that man now …" Quan Shihui covered her eyes. She could already see the end in her heart.
Whether it was the Platinum Academy or Platinum City, they had completely cemented that man's terrifying reputation. Now, even the Intercontinental Death Ray could not do anything to him. What else in the world could defeat this man head-on?
She could already feel the pain in her abdomen. Although she was curious about what the future would bring, she could no longer see it now.
Quan Shihui let go of the thin sword in her hand. As her body relaxed, she finally fell backward. Her vision quickly blurred …
…
After easily intercepting a dozen Death Ray Cannons, Lu Sheng once again sensed the situation within a thousand meters around him.
The Iron Screen's Light of the Northern Mountain was dead. Deputy Screen Master Quan Shihui was dead. The rest of the members were dead.
The White Feather Army was dead. The Poison Dragon and White Lion were dead.
Jorin's spirit was slowly fusing with his own. Lu Sheng could feel a special fusion that was similar to a chemical reaction taking place.
'I've finally taken care of it. It took less than 40 days. According to the ratio, less than a day has passed. 'Lu Sheng was satisfied with his own efficiency. This time, he did not care about anything else. He only cared about karma. As expected, his efficiency was astonishing.
'Now, it's time to deal with the aftermath.' Lu Sheng hugged Esha tightly.
Platinum City was already his. The ordinary troops stationed at the periphery could not even stand up to the White Feather Army, let alone a top-notch armor like the Grieving King.
Lu Sheng felt his spirit expanding and growing rapidly. He suddenly thought of something.
Jorin's karma and wishes did not include Esha.
He had mixed feelings. Jorin was actually a version of himself from another world. Esha had been so kind to him and had done so much for him. Yet, she could not enter his heart. It was clear that he was an absolutely heartless person.
'Forget it. I'll take care of it for you.'
The battle of Platinum City did not cause much damage to the Alan Federation as a whole. However, it was an extremely heavy blow to the federation's reputation.
The other countries began to report on Platinum City to test the waters. The news spread like snowflakes in all directions.
In just a few days, the entire world knew about the shocking incident that happened in the powerful Alan Federation.
Platinum City had a new owner. The person in charge was a man who called himself Sheng.
Although the federation had sealed off the area where the city was located, it could not stop many criminals from fleeing to this place to escape the federation's sanctions. They gathered under the command of this man who called himself Sheng.
The federation could do nothing about this. Their most powerful strategic weapon, the Death Ray Cannon, had been declared ineffective. This was a terrifying weapon that could destroy half a country in an instant. However, to Platinum City, it could not even reach the sky above the city before it was detonated by the huge, towering vine tree.
In the following days, special forces infiltrated the city, spies laid in wait, long-distance assassinations, powerful armored teams hunted them down, and many other methods were used against Platinum City. At the same time, they sealed off the city's entrances and exits. They cut off the city's water, electricity, and food supply.
The federation was determined to destroy the Seven Leaf terrorist organization in Platinum City.
