Chapter 729: Chapter 657: Counterattack

“General, both angels are located above the urban area; we cannot use high-powered missiles or armed helicopters… they have all been called back.”

Armed helicopters were ineffective against the angels. The missiles hadn’t even reached them before exploding, and the machine guns couldn’t even penetrate the thin layer of light around the angels… Instead, the falling helicopters caused significant damage.

Modern technology, so proudly boasted about, appeared… utterly ineffective before those two angels.

“Does God truly exist?”

The General murmured, feeling a surge of helplessness.

“When will the Cabinet Elders arrive?”

“They are already on their way, needing at least thirteen minutes, but…”

The Cabinet Elders are the pinnacle of individual military force in Anxia Country. Before the advent of Source Qi, each of them was a renowned Martial Arts Grandmaster. After their Awakening, they paved the way into this unknown path.

With the complete Cultivation Skill from Immortal Gate, the Elders had made significant breakthroughs.

But… The General knew very well the capabilities of the Cabinet Elders; they were merely human and couldn’t possibly withstand heavy machine guns, let alone crush missiles with bare hands.

“This time, the Cabinet Elders are wearing the latest War Armor developed by the research department. They should…”

The Deputy wanted to say they should be able to contend with those two angels, but seeing the “Divine Mighty” radiating from the angels, he couldn’t bring himself to utter the word “contend.”

Could they only watch helplessly as the people of Anxia were brainwashed and turned into sheep for the Calamity Sect?

“What about Immortal Gate? What did they say?” the General asked, taking a deep breath, dreading more bad news.

“Immortal Gate… When we contacted them, they said reinforcements had already been dispatched.”

“That’s good.”

The General clenched his fists, filled with rage but dared not act rashly.

More and more people knelt, their foreheads touching the ground, praising the name of God, gradually forming a faith, an invisible power converging into a line.

In the sky, the halo behind the Ghost-faced Angel grew increasingly brilliant, resembling a golden wheel, clearly visible within a hundred-mile radius.

“Boom!”

A dull, low sound came from somewhere, and on the twisted face of the angel, a thumb-sized hole appeared. In an instant, the hole expanded, its edges falling off like shards, slowly disintegrating.

…

On the east side of Anhu City, atop an abandoned building.

Shay holding a pipe, the rings of smoke he exhaled slowly expanded, forming the words “loneliness.”

“It turns out, I’ve become so strong.”

He rested the Divine Weapon firearm on his shoulder, pretending to be a great master, but his facade cracked in less than half a second.

Reflecting on his journey, Shay sighed endlessly.

At the Awakening Tier, he could surpass three or four levels in combat, proud of his explosive artistry, but at the Transcendent Tier, he faltered.

Rune bullets were inadequate against Transcendent powers. Even though his Power of Explosion enhanced the bullets, they still couldn’t match the experts of the first echelon of Green Shadow.

Beam Weapons couldn’t synergize with his abilities. The Power of Explosion wasn’t a high-level talent, nor could it compare to some Advanced Magic.

He, an ADC, lacked sufficient output, and the path of a Gunner Master became increasingly narrow for him.

Until,

Recently, from the Lord, he had acquired the “Destruction Light,” which, after integrating into his innate abilities, changed the “Power of Destruction” from being limited to affixing on rune bullets.

“Now that even the smoke rings I blow carry the Power of Destruction, who can stand against me? Handling firearms is a man’s romance; why don’t many understand!”

In Green Shadow, the “Gunnery Class” was not favored by the market. The Basic and Intermediate Classes still had some students, but the High-level Class had very few.

The profession of gunman was costly and lacked particularly well-known top experts. Many Gunner Class students took it as a minor, solely for providing remote support in a team.

But now it was different; having mastered the “Power of Destruction,” once he advanced to the Second Tier, the gunman stream would have a significant figure—Shay decided to seize the source of students starting from the World Tree Academy.

“Uh, wait…”

Shay estimated his combat power after his breakthrough and compared it to Eileen, who led the “Magic Class,” and Kong, who led the “Swordsmanship Class,” feeling he mustn’t be too rash and needed to follow his own heart.

In the distance,

The body of the Ghost-faced Angel perished inch by inch, silently plummeting from the sky.

Another Ghost-faced Angel, even more powerful, suddenly realized this and with a twist of his gaze, he spotted Shay miles away.

He seemed to be distracted!

The Ghost-faced Angel, with seething anger, flapped his wings and a storm brewed, a streak of lightning vanished in an instant.

Divine Judgment!

Several dark red Thunder Arcs tore through the sky, and an energy-formed longsword appeared in the hands of the Ghost-faced Angel. With a swipe, the sword light had not yet arrived when the abandoned building beneath Shay’s feet exploded, dust filling the air.

Boom!

Violent air currents swept towards the west, and Shay, in mid-air, spread his arms, letting the dark red Thunder Arcs strike him, absorbed by the silver mechanized armor he wore.

On his left hand, lines formed, creating a hand cannon strapped to his hand; on his right, a revolving machine gun.

The mechanized armor clicked and morphed, extending two dark gun barrels from his back, aiming forward.

Near his feet, a black box automatically opened, and one silver orb after another flew out, resembling eyeballs, as Source Power gathered in front of him.

Boom!

In that instant, orbs, hand cannon, machine gun, and gun barrels all fired.

The tens of meters long sword light released by the Ghost-faced Angel, in that instant, was swallowed up in the endless radiance.

Along with his body, which struggled for less than a second, leaving only a broken body falling from the sky.

“Overdone, cooked through.”

…

“Thank you to the Immortal Gate for all your powerful aid. Here is a small token of our gratitude.”

A senior official opened a box, inside were variously colored dazzling Crystal Stones, clearly, fragments of Laws crystallized.

Even more than what was obtained in the first transaction.

However, Tang Yu was rather speechless, isn’t it possible to pack them separately? Different fragments of Law Crystals together can interfere with each other! At worst, they might suddenly explode and turn the surroundings into a black hole.

He glanced at them briefly, fortunately.

It seems the Anxia officials had just brought these crystal fragments from different places and hadn’t kept them together for long, so the impact was minimal.

He took them and slipped them into his pocket, discreetly transferring them into the World Ring inside, keeping the Law fragment crystals separated.

There were twenty-one pieces in total, including those from previous trades and occasionally found around the Black Seam, bringing the total Law fragment crystals to over thirty, covering the ten major classifications of Laws like gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, darkness, and space. These were enough to emulate the Holy City’s Enlightenment Stele of past years.

All these were his foundation.

“I wonder how Sect Master Tang views the God of Calamity and if there’s any chance if you try?”

What does he think?

Of course, he’s seen it on the computer.

He had only seen the projection of the God of Calamity on a computer, but combining various facts, Tang Yu was very clear that it was truly a deity, as mentioned by the voices from Dachang in the Unity Realm, not some second-rate god like the Frog God—with roasted frog as a threat, even the Frog God himself could not clearly explain how he became a deity—The Frog God had not mastered the method of becoming a deity!

But the God of Calamity certainly had, even refining Divine Envoys.

A deity comparable to a Transcendent Third Tier being still on his home ground, Lord Tang was fully confident…

He wouldn’t win.

Maybe Nancy could achieve a fifty-fifty chance?

But fifty-fifty wasn’t what he wanted; Sky Blue Star was not like Aino Continent, not like Earth, just a basic Life Planet and couldn’t withstand the residual effects of a Domain Level powerhouse’s battle.

The same level of residual battle effects could destroy a mountain on Earth, but on Sky Blue Star, it could obliterate entire mountain ranges.

If Nancy and the God of Calamity finished battling, Talin and the surrounding countries might already be gone.

Mere fifty-fifty combat power also couldn’t vanquish a deity.

If the God of Calamity turns out to be more powerful than imagined, it would be bad news.

He pondered for a while, “The power of the God of Calamity is unknown, but one thing is certain, success by belief, failure by belief. If we stop the spread of the Calamity Sect’s teachings and disrupt the atmosphere of belief in Talin, we could weaken the God of Calamity.”

…

The next day, led by Anxia Country, in collaboration with Sirin, Britan, and Flying Eagle among other nations, began domestic crackdowns, launching an eradication campaign against the Calamity Sect.
