Chapter 881 -876 Immortal vs. Immortal
As the war continued, the Spirit Master Legion grew increasingly proficient in bond fusion, gradually catching up to the efficiency of the other two legions.
Even so, the Death Legion still persistently advanced towards the Alliance’s side.
Star Weapons could indeed inflict significant damage on the Death Legion, but most of their equipment consisted of energy-charging Star Armaments.
To put it simply, as time went on, the energy sources of the Alliance’s Star Weapons were running out.
“It seems that the Death State is keenly aware of the weakness of our weapons. Without the black clouds dispersing, we won’t be able to draw energy from the sun,”
Zhao Futu looked up at the sky, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
Their output had not weakened; they had destroyed many soldiers of the Death Legion.
But without the boost from the Star Weapons, they would not be able to completely exterminate the Death Virus.
If this were to continue, the Dead Beasts in the rear would keep absorbing the remnants of the Death Virus from the Dead Beasts ahead to strengthen themselves.
And what the Alliance would face was a bunch of monsters that could not be killed and only grew stronger the more they were fought!
“Create distance between us and the front, the three legions!”
With this thought, Zhao Futu immediately issued an order to the three legions. Without hesitation, they gave up their previously gained advantage and retreated rapidly.
In an instant, a large void appeared between the Alliance and the Death Legion.
Faced with this opportunity delivered to their doorstep, the Death Legion did not overlook it, nor would they let it go.
Even if there were any traps, at most it would lead them to death.
After all, they had emerged from death.
As the three legions retreated, the Beast Master Association also deployed dozens of rocket launchers. Although these were crafted with modern technology, they exuded a very ancient vibe.
“Fire the Star Cannons!!!”
As the Death Legion entered firing range, Zhao Futu immediately issued the order, and a barrage of shells poured down like a torrential rain into the Death Legion.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The explosions followed one after another, and surging flames ruthlessly devoured the Death Legion, while the tiny fragments mixed in effortlessly pierced through the bodies of the Dead Beasts.
The power of these shells had reached the maximum damage beneath that of Annihilation Weapons.
But while ordinary artillery might kill transcendent creatures, to the Dead Beasts, this artillery fire was useless beyond delaying their advance.
Thus, the Dead Beasts continued to advance, enduring the artillery fire. Some legendary Dead Beasts even intercepted the shells before they hit the ground.
However, Zhao Futu showed no disappointment at this scene; instead, he revealed a smile as if his stratagem had succeeded.
“It’s about time to wrap this up.”
Saying this, Zhao Futu threw a small ball shimmering with starlight forward. The ball wasn’t fast, but as soon as it left his hand, a Void Skate teleported it directly into the midst of the Dead Beasts Corps.
This star-bearing sphere naturally drew the attention of the Dead Beasts; one especially impulsive Dead Beast that appeared aggressive even in life simply swallowed it whole.
But soon, its body was pierced by a beam of starlight, and the star sphere floated out from within it.
After that, the ball spat out countless rays of light like a kaleidoscope. The surrounding Dead Beasts had no time to dodge and were perforated by it.
Furthermore, the fragments that had accompanied the artillery barrage also started to float upwards. As they came in contact with the beams of starlight, they were refracted outward.
In a flash, a large net woven from the beams of starlight appeared on the battlefield. All Dead Beasts within its coverage instantly perished, and before their bodies even hit the ground, they were purified by the beams of starlight.
However, this star net could only target Ferocious Beasts on the ground. Some smarter Dead Beasts immediately took to the skies, intending to attack the Alliance from above.
Naturally, the Association had anticipated this as well.
Simultaneously with Zhao Futu throwing the star sphere, the Star Cannons fired several more shells, which, rather than hitting the ground, hung in the air like beacons.
When the Dead Beasts approached from the sky, these shells emitted a beam of starlight that connected in pairs and flew towards them.
Seeing this, the Dead Beasts ascended to dodge the beams, only to see the singular beams of starlight suddenly spread out and form another large net that securely enveloped them.
Billowing black smoke filled the air, as the Dead Beasts that had managed to gather were nearly all decimated, leaving only the legendary Dead Beasts who retained their intelligence from life desperately dodging.
“The new weapons designed by the Super God Evolution Research Institute are really impressive; it’s just a shame there’s no time to mass-produce them.”
Zhao Futu was very satisfied with the results. These Star Cannons had been brought by Zhang Shan, who claimed they were a special gift from Professor Chu of the Super God Evolution Research Institute before he departed, still warm to the touch.
“These were rushed out by us working overtime. You use these first; we’re continuing production and will hurry to deliver them to every battlefield.”
That was what Professor Chu said. Because of the special nature of the Dead Beasts, the development of Star Weapons had never ceased, but it had been limited to either one-time-use Star Ammunition or the melee Star Armaments.
Weapons like Professor Chu’s, which can directly and continuously damage, are not common except for those forged from pure Star Metal.
But it must be said, such weapons are indeed very effective.
“Tsk, tsk… to construct a protective barrier with such means, if the energy is sufficient, ordinary Dead Beasts will probably never make it through, right?”
The Elemental Spirit yawned and quietly scattered the starlight in the palm of its hand.
“Indeed, that’s the case, but the problem is that the energy is not that abundant.”
As soon as the words fell, the vast starry network gradually dimmed somewhat, and some of the faster Dead Beasts immediately seized the opportunity to penetrate the giant net and continue their advance.
The war went on.
Perhaps because the starry web had eliminated the fools, the three great legions felt the pressure redouble. These Dead Beasts not only possessed the trait of immortality but also retained some of their former abilities, posing a considerable threat to the three legions that were already showing signs of fatigue.
Even the Spirit Master Legion, which had the shortest growth time, began to suffer casualties.
But facing such a life-and-death scenario, after a brief moment of covering their heads and wailing, the Spirit Masters actually burst into laughter.
Naturally, this was not because they lacked conscience. Anyone who could become a Spirit Master was a character filled with love. Their actions were simply because they had a sense of security.
It wasn’t because they had gone mad over the death of their cherished spirits. Although they weren’t as tough as Beast Masters, those chosen to be here were still very mentally resilient.
Their expressions were solely because, at the moment of the spirits’ deaths, another belt on their bodies lit up.
Then, in the bewildered gaze of the intelligent Dead Beasts, the Spirit Masters released a new batch of cherished spirits, identical to those that had died before.
Husky · Outer Wheel Reincarnation!
To accelerate the accumulation of battle experience, members of the Spirit Master Legion without exception all trained in “Six Paths”.
Although they had not given up their original bodies, they had also saved their progress in the Six Paths World and had the Outer Wheel record their data in advance, printing spare bodies for them.
The moment their cherished spirits were killed, their souls were pulled back by the devices of the Outer Wheel and directly injected into brand new bodies.
These new bodies were crafted to be the perfect match for the souls, stronger and in no way weaker than the original flesh.
Most crucially, almost all bodies created by the Outer Wheel were imbued with Star Metal.
And it was the kind brimming with energy!
“Come on, let’s battle another three hundred rounds!”
“You’re not afraid of death, neither are we. Let’s see who can out-kill the other!”
The experience of dying and coming back to life was extremely painful, but both Spirit Masters and cherished spirits became abnormally excited.
It wasn’t that the new bodies brought them any substantial enhancement, but overcoming the fear of death allowed any creature to burst forth with even greater strength.
Like this, the Spirit Master Legion, which had originally been novices on the battlefield, instantly transformed into daredevils unafraid of death, even snatching the areas of responsibility from the other two great legions.
“Is it really okay for them to be like this? Even though they can be resurrected, the impact of death still exists, doesn’t it?”
Watching the Spirit Master Legion fall into a frenzied state, Xiao Ding slightly furrowed his brow.
This reckless way of fighting was indeed effective, but it could cause great harm to these young people.
Even if they could win the battle, it would be at the cost of depleting the potential of this group of youths.
“Don’t worry, it’s different from our time now, they won’t do such a thing as draining the pond to get the fish. You haven’t seen who designed this game.”
Zhao Futu laughed heartily, “Whether it’s Beast Masters or their cherished spirits, all have a valve installed on them. If their condition exceeds the emergency threshold, they’ll be forcibly taken back to the Six Paths World, and they won’t be allowed to return until they are fully healed.”
“That’s good.”
Xiao Ding nodded slightly, but he still felt utterly astonished by Bai Qi’s design.
Life has always been an exceedingly mysterious subject, but in Bai Qi’s hands, life seemed no different from building blocks, capable of being assembled at will.
This kind of power, isn’t it something that only a Creator God should be able to wield?
“Uncle Xiao, stop dwelling on it. There’s nothing Bai Qi does that isn’t mind-boggling. Just don’t treat him like a normal person.”
Bai Tongchen slapped Xiao Ding’s shoulder forcefully, “If we consider him a normal human being, our families’ youngsters would probably seem no different from paramecia.”
“Speak for yourself, don’t lump our family in with yours.”
Xiao Ding snorted coldly and turned his head away, but Bai Tongchen was relentless and insisted on squabbling a few more words with him.
What they didn’t notice was that Bai Heguang, standing at the forefront, couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile upon hearing their evaluations of Bai Qi.
The achievements of his disciple, although he hadn’t played much of a role, still filled the mentor with pride.
