Unlike the shriveled or rotten image in the legends, the real Nether God, Hades, was tall and strong. He had a typical Atlantean appearance. He was mighty, strong, and had a serious face. His eyes were slightly sunken, he had high cheekbones and a high nose bridge. His messy black hair trailed down his back, and his thick beard made this immortal super human look a little old. All of the above combined to form the perfect image of an ancient Greek hero. When he waved the scythe-like weapon in his hand, this giant in a cloak looked more like a God of War who had walked out of a religious mural than a schemer who stayed in the underworld.
Ah, that's right. This warrior was about twelve meters tall …
"Do you Atlanteans judge seniority based on height?!"
As Hades roared crazily and the scorpions fired their cannons continuously, I shouted at Ares who was next to me. There was only one thought in my mind. No wonder the Nether God in the legends couldn't find a partner his entire life. In the end, he could only kidnap a bride. He and Archimonde, who also couldn't find a partner and could only grow an X tree, must have the same problem of height.
Ares replied in the same loud voice, "No! Our three forefathers have undergone an even more powerful ascension ritual and obtained a majestic body that far surpasses that of mortals. They are special. God has placed eternal energy and indestructible endoskeletons in their bodies. Please be careful of his death energy. That is a curse that can even corrode divinity metals! "
"Don't worry. His power definitely can't hurt me!" As I replied loudly, I quickly distanced myself from Ares. This unlucky child's voice was too loud. When he shouted, I couldn't even hear the sound of the cannons around me.
Sandora used a telepathic connection and said, "This is really a complete biochemical transformation. Not only did the research team of the old Empire transform Hades' spirit and body, they also created an artificial endoskeleton and internal organs for him. I even scanned his body with the energy feed of the psionic reactor. Spending so much to strengthen a soldier, his death ability is definitely not simple. "
"Didn't I say that it can even destroy the armor plate of an interstellar battleship? It's almost as powerful as the firepower of an interstellar war." I looked at the giant warrior who was convulsing on the Dawn Terrace. The dirty smoke had already shrouded half of his body. The giant scythe with blood-red runes had ominous black patterns spreading from the handle. This was a serious symptom of the abyss infection. But it was obvious that he was still trying to resist the madness deep in his soul. His eyes were red and his face was distorted. He kept swinging his weapon but never launched a real attack. Occasionally, he would throw some gray light from his hand, but these attacks landed far away from the defense line of the city guards. All these signs showed that Hades could barely distinguish between friend and foe, and was trying to control his behavior.
And I also saw the so-called death power in those light balls.
No one knew how the research team did it, but this Hades had indeed mastered the mysterious ability to cause serious damage to life and "intact objects." The gray light balls he threw did not contain any energy, but they could cause plants to quickly wither into ashes, towering ancient trees to instantly turn into dust, and inanimate things like sturdy temples and minarets would also show signs of rapid decay. This power treated living and non-living things equally, causing them to quickly meet their demise. Perhaps this light ball was not as powerful as the main cannons of the Empire's battleships, but on the battlefield, it was obviously more of a threat to the soldiers than a saturated bombardment.
But even with this kind of combat power, he should not be a match for a large group of heroic soldiers, right?
"Don't tell me that our armored scorpions can't defeat him?" Looking at the stalemate situation on the defensive line, Sandora said with slight dissatisfaction.
"Although Hades is powerful, he is definitely not a match for a large group of armored scorpions," Vega replied with a little grievance. "The biggest problem now is that this super soldier's power has gone out of control. His death power is surging out of his body uncontrollably, and he is relying on his last bit of consciousness to ensure that he does not self-destruct. Once we defeat Hades, he will immediately die from the backlash of his own power. All of his internal organs will instantly turn into ashes, and I'm afraid that even his soul will not be left. This is still the ideal situation. The worst case scenario is that his corpse may be preserved and then turned into an undead creature from the abyss. At that time, the dangerous death power will be used against our soldiers. "
Vega's gloominess immediately turned into my gloominess. After all, our original goal was to save this strong soldier who had been infected. If we really wanted to kill him, I had plenty of ways. The simplest way would be to place a Pandora in this place. I could guarantee that Hades would instantly split into different batches and gradually land in different parts of Atlantis. Moreover, the length of each batch would not exceed 1.2 meters — — But isn't that nonsense?
"We have to first think of a way to stop Hades' death power," Sandora frowned.
I became gloomy. "Those gray light balls are not energy, but something as mysterious as Shallow shallow's time. I can't control them."
"Visca has a skill that can suppress the reaction of a superpower …"
Sandora said halfway and looked at Hades' height of twelve meters.
"But after the battle, I'm afraid that we will have to spend a lot of effort to reassemble Hades."
I thought hard. Suddenly, an idea came to mind. I took my hand out from my pocket.
Feeling a slight pain in my finger, I took my hand out of my pocket. To my astonishment, there was a small green elf hanging from my hand. Dingdang was originally sleeping in my pocket and I might have poked her. Thus, the drowsy Goddess opened her mouth and bit me. Now, she was dangling in the air in a fishing position.
After being swung twice in the air, the little thing finally woke up. She immediately hugged my thumb and cried, "Wah! Ah Jun, don't touch me so casually! A girl's body is very precious! Jingle can't get married anymore! Ah Jun touched Jingle's … "
Sandora burst out in laughter. I quickly stuffed a lollipop into Jingle's arms to calm her down. Then, I turned the little thing in the direction of the Dawn Terrace. "Jingle, look at that big guy. Does he have death power?"
Jingle looked up and was shocked. "Wow! A human is so big! Ah Jun, you became smaller? Did Jingle become a microorganism? "
The Protoss was very good at looking at the world in a dialectical way.
Under my forceful shaking, the Goddess finally remembered the important matter at hand and started analyzing. "Yep, it's a much lower level, but it can indeed be considered the power of death. It's capable of turning 'living' things into 'dead' things, no matter if it's a life or a stone. That's strange. He's a living person. Why does he have the smell of death on him? And he seems to be alive and kicking. "
"Oh, then you should be able to neutralize his power, right?"
"Of course! Jingle is amazing! " The little thing flew into the air, puffed out its chest and said proudly, "As long as Dingdang gets close to this big guy, the power on his body will obediently dissipate, because Dingdang is the Goddess of Life …"
I was relieved after hearing that. I reached out and grabbed the little thing. As I twisted my waist, I aimed at Hades' head. Then, I heard Jingle's confused voice. "Huh? Ah Jun? Why do you have to grab Jingle? "
I didn't reply and only focused on aiming. Then, under everyone's shocked gaze, I suddenly swung my hand and shouted, "Go! Jingle ball! "
The rest of the process doesn't need to be described. The little guy, who was glowing with green light, yelled as he flew through the air in a beautiful parabola. When the target turned around, he accurately hit the back of Hades' head. I maintained my discus throwing posture and waited for a few seconds until the sound of the earth shaking and mountains collapsing came from the other side.
The artificial "Hades" was knocked down by the real Goddess of Life in one round. This was a humiliating defeat of a 1200cm against a 12cm. The power of death on Hades' body decisively dissipated in the face of a higher level and purer power of life. The powerful spiritual attack made the 12-meter tall giant faint on the spot. Fortunately, he wasn't completely controlled by the Abyss. Even if a completely fallen creature completely lost consciousness, it would still continue to move under the stimulation of the Abyss. That would be troublesome.
Reality proved that forcefully suppressing one's superpower after it was released was extremely harmful to one's health. This was completely different from sitting back after pooping … Oh right, don't eat while reading this.
Did I remind you too late?
After confirming that the target was no longer moving, Vega quickly led a few armored scorpions to install a lock and a purifying radiation crystal on Hades' body. Because the target was huge, they used the weight of a few hundred people to equip the giant like a terracotta warrior. Meanwhile, Sandora and I came to the side of Hades' huge head. We lowered our heads to look for Jingle as we talked.
"Obviously, he was knocked out by the spiritual attack," I judged in a professional manner.
Sandora looked down and said, "Based on this big bun, he might have been knocked out by you."
I was speechless.
"Ahem, no matter what, this method successfully neutralized his troublesome power of death. Speaking of which, where did Jingle go?"
Sandora and I searched through Hades' hair with great effort, but the little one's figure did not appear. This gave us a headache. You have to know, it is very difficult to find a little one that is not much taller than a comb from a head that is 1.3 meters tall and a pile of hair that is two meters long. Last time, when Jingle flew around the house and accidentally went into the warehouse, we searched for her for half a day. In the end, it was only when Anveena wanted to mop the floor that we found the goddess asleep in the mop.
At this moment, I heard a clear and melodious voice. "Ah Jun! What are you looking for? "
I did not raise my head. "I'm looking for you."
…
A few seconds later, the Atlantean warriors who were busy cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded raised their heads at the same time. They looked at the Dawn Terrace where the commotion was coming from.
"Hey hey! Don't be impulsive, little one! Impulsive is the devil! Impulsive is the devil! Don't bite my ear! "
"Jingle will bite you! Ah Jun, don't run! Jingle is really going to bite someone! Jingle is amazing! "
Vega shrugged and said to the dumbfounded You Youzi, "Continue to work. You will get used to it. We are already used to it. "
The purification of Hades didn't take up too much time because he originally had an extremely strong will. Furthermore, after Jingle rammed into him, the Divine Life Power had dispersed 80% of the Abyss energy in his body. I tried to get Jingle to agree to go and hit Hades' head again, but in the end, my ear was almost knocked out by the little one. Thus, this plan could only be scrapped. However, even if Jingle was unwilling to help, we still had a backup plan: Under the impact of a few hundred times the amount of Purifying Crystal, the twelve meter tall giant successfully woke up after sifting for about ten minutes. Other than a sudden leg cramp when he walked, he seemed to be fine.
Everyone in front of the Dawn Terrace was discussing the next advancement plan. The Armored Scorpion had already wiped out the main facilities in the middle city with its usual ferocity and efficiency. The Leader Bee had used it as the frontline fortification for the ground troops to advance. It used a roguish tactic of reviving on the spot to assist the army in clearing out the Abyss monsters which outnumbered us. The Schilling Main Engine was also gradually restoring power to the city's defense system. Their work was even more fruitful: Looking around, the black mist that had been permeating the ancient streets was now almost non-existent. The two-dimensional patterns on the ground had also retreated a lot. This meant that everything was developing in a direction that was advantageous to us.
The twelve meter tall Hades sat beside us and reported the situation. Because the amount of Purifying Crystal was a little too much, he was still cramping, but he had no problem speaking.
"To break through the defense line in the inner city, the first thing we have to destroy is the Sighing Wall," the gigantic Osiris said in a low voice. "That is a wall that surrounds the entire inner city. It is powered by the Everlasting Crystal. The Sighing Wall has no thickness or substance. It is a light screen formed by energy. Moreover, it can use external attacks as an energy source to convert it into defensive power. It is a very powerful barrier. Even the demon army was unable to break through it. When the disaster happened, Zeus activated the barrier in an attempt to imprison the demon's power. However, it was too late. My brothers and the monsters were trapped on the other side of the Sighing Wall. "
"Multi-energy Feedback Force Field," Sandora helped to translate Hades' words into something I could understand. "It provides energy independently and automatically adjusts its defense coefficient according to external attacks. It absorbs attack energy and uses it to strengthen itself. It is a high-level barrier. There is one outside the bridge of the Empire Admiral. Of course, it is not indestructible. Multi-energy Feedback Force Field is less resistant to kinetic energy. A kinetic energy impact of a sufficient amount can break it. "
Knowing that the invulnerable barrier that Hades had described actually had a weakness, I was relieved. I said to the big guy next to me, "Then prepare for battle. Where are your Underworld Gladiators?"
There was a sudden awkward silence.
At this time, Vega came over again and once again mentioned her attack plan that embodied the spirit of the Empire, which was to take the shortest route between two points in a straight line. From this point forward, we would wipe out the Ancestral Corridor and all the buildings along the way. Finally, we would reach the Sighing Wall. This time, Sister Scorpion had carefully revised her action plan. She used about three thousand words as a foreshadowing to explain in detail the advanced, effective, representative, and historical inevitability of a straight line attack. However, the specific action plan still had one regrettable sentence: Charge forward and chop them down. I could only reject this Pandora style of battle deployment again because I noticed that Hades had been trembling non-stop as he looked at the battle map.
The following operation was relatively smooth. Although we did not take the shortest route in a straight line, there were still many paths that could be used for a surprise attack in this city that had been destroyed by the monsters. The armored scorpions that were boiling with helium-3 chopped up the small fries along the way. Occasionally, a powerful monster would force the regular army into a difficult battle. Sandora and I would personally take action to make sure that no monster could live to see the back of our heads. During this period, Pandora and Visca had sent me a few messages through our spiritual connection, requesting to join the battle. However, after knowing the average height of the Atlanteans, the two little guys chose to listen to a couple of crosstalks to adjust their mood.
From this, it could be seen that Visca had killed without batting an eye. You have almost wiped out the entire race. How could you not remember the average height of the people?
After a rapid march, the ground troops finally arrived at the last checkpoint of the battle. It was a translucent energy barrier that emitted a silvery-white radiance.
The ordinary city buildings ended on this side of the Sighing Wall. Through this translucent barrier, I could see a completely different style of magnificent buildings on the other side. There were towering palaces scattered in a picturesque manner, as well as withered sky gardens that still retained a sense of exquisite beauty. Although shrouded in black mist, these buildings still retained their former grandeur and magnificence. Looking at these buildings, the Sighing Wall closed on the other side. Through the two layers of light barrier, we could vaguely see a series of temples built along the mountainside of Mount Olympus in the distance. Their remnant radiance was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.
Looking at those temples, I thought of the Saint Seiya again.
Sandora stroked the energy barrier in front of her. "This is the Sighing Wall, the last barrier of the inner city. Once we break through here, we can occupy the entire city. The mainframe can't take over the few main control hubs that are offline. We have to manually activate them after we enter. "
I listened to the frontline report from Vega through the command link as I said, "Yes, another troop has arrived at the falling point of the fragment. After we clear the inner city, they will start to move the fragment. They bypassed this barrier. Two scorpions were eager to try after hearing that kinetic energy could break the barrier. In the end, they broke their tails and were sent back to the mothership … "
* Bang!! *
After a sudden loud noise, a certain armored scorpion whose shell was waxed limped dejectedly in front of us. Her tail was broken in half and sparks were coming out from it. It might not have hurt that much, but it must have deeply hurt the dignity of this scorpion girl.
"… Now there are three."
