Chapter 1735: The Heavenly Network
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As a Deity Realm warrior, Meng Chao naturally did not need to worry about falling from a high altitude after the cabin was completely torn apart.
He believed that Lu Siya, who had been chosen by the monster mastermind, would not be smashed to pieces either.
However, he had to consider whether the monster’s power in her soul would be completely released when the burning shock wave hit Lu Siya’s body like a flood.
‘No, Lu Siya can’t block the violent shock wave with her own strength.
‘The instinct to live will only force the monster’s power out of her body, turning her into a wild banshee or the Monster Queen again.
‘I’m afraid she won’t be able to turn back into the real Lu Siya this time.
‘I can’t let this happen!’
Meng Chao’s mind raced. As the cells in his body rubbed against each other at high speeds and his nerve endings trembled at high frequencies, the nanometal threads that were made of the spirit magnet retracted and gathered on his right arm. They then continued to extend and expand until they finally turned into a large, arc-shaped shield that was three to five meters in diameter.
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and crossed his arms. He placed the large curved shield above his head to protect Lu Siya, who was at the core of the cabin, under his feet.
He had just raised his shield when a destructive tide of spirit energy approached him.
With a deafening roar, the destructive power that could topple mountains and overturn seas made the bones in Meng Chao’s body creak.
Every muscle fiber, every blood vessel, and every bone in his arms seemed to be corroded by magma. He lost all senses except for pain.
In his daze, Meng Chao felt an invisible giant hammer that was more than one hundred meters in diameter and weighed more than a hundred million tons appear in the sky.
He, on the other hand, was an iron nail that was being hammered by the giant hammer and twisted out of shape.
At a few points, his numb arms almost hung down loosely because he was in so much pain.
However, thanks to the spirit magnet, he completely solidified his body, totem armor, and arc-shaped shield into one.
The surface of the arched shield, which seemed as smooth as a mirror, was also filled with interconnected, invisible flow grooves. Through the numerous flow grooves, the power of destruction was discharged into the air around the cabin core.
With this method, Meng Chao managed to reduce the super crystal bomb’s destructive power by seventy to eighty percent.
Even so, when the remaining twenty to thirty percent descended from the sky in the form of fire and a large amount of burning debris, it still filled Meng Chao’s field of vision and devoured the core cabin where Lu Siya was.
Meng Chao was surrounded by raging flames and thick smoke.
The entire core cabin was torn into pieces by the blast. The solid cabin walls and the deck were shattered, melted, and burned as they were replaced by walls of fire.
When Meng Chao lowered his head to look, he saw a fireball that resembled a heart and a tumor expanding and contracting at Lu Siya’s location. It grew increasingly big as it expanded and contracted.
The fireball seemed to boast a weird vitality and attraction force. It kept shooting out tentacle-like streams of fire, pulling, and swallowing the burning pieces around it. With the replenishment of the burning pieces, it grew at a visible speed.
No… Rather than comparing it to a heart and tumor, it seemed more suitable to call the big fireball a flower or pupa. It seemed to be moving with a weird rhythm.
In his daze, Meng Chao “saw” that the surface of the flames colliding with each other constantly, and the ripples that surged from each other gradually gathered into an unfathomably deep vortex.
Then, the faces of incomparably ferocious monsters appeared in the depths of the vortexes.
When these monsters made of flames laughed hideously, a powerful aura, like that of an Apocalyptic Beast, gushed out of the vortex.
“See, this is how you humans treat your own kind.”
Meng Chao heard a voice from the depths of the cocoon-like fireball that seemed to come from the ancient era and definitely did not belong to a human. “Is this the so-called ‘civilization’ that you want to protect at all costs?”
Lu Siya was speechless as she faced the monster mastermind’s question.
Meng Chao could hear her panting in pain, and countless cracks had appeared on the line of defense in her heart. It was cracking continuously.
This was different from when the monster mastermind devoured Lu Siya at the peak of Mist Mountain a year ago.
The situation before him was ten times more dangerous and unsolvable.
To make matters worse, while Lu Siya was struggling to resist the monster mastermind’s invasion, the sounds of gunfire came from several cabins on the Golden Roc!
Ratatatatata!
Hundreds of six-barrel Vulcan cannons fired at the same time, and the barrage of bullets covered the sky and the earth. They formed a net that symbolized death and destruction no inferior to the super crystal bomb’s explosion. It locked Meng Chao, Lu Siya, and the monster mastermind at the center of the net!
‘A dense array!’
Meng Chao’s scalp went numb.
The dense array originated from the earth era. It was a classic close-range defense system that could achieve automatic search, detection, evaluation, tracking, locking, and attacking of threatening targets.
With the six-barrel Vulcan’s firing rate of more than 6000 shells per minute as the core, supplemented by an electronic closed-loop correction system and a hydraulic automatic loading system, it formed a continuous fire attack. It could form an impenetrable defense network around important combat units such as warships and armored airships. It could intercept small aircraft and anti-ship missiles on earth and tear flying monsters into pieces in the Other World.
The loading method and the attack principle were relatively traditional. However, in the Other World where spirit energy was abundant, material structures were unstable, and sophisticated weapons such as military satellites and ballistic missiles could not be used, various close-range defense systems led by dense arrays had become the most important firepower pivot point for the armored airships of the human race.
It was especially so after they used “enhanced-destruction standard ammunition” that was mixed with monster bone powder and crystal powder. The firing speed, penetration, and damage of the close-range defense system in Dragon City had increased by more than 50%.
In the meantime, some special warheads were engraved with runes and embedded with high-level crystals. These could even split into hundreds of pieces aside from releasing regular spirit energy attacks such as electric arcs, frost, and flames after they invaded their target’s body. Each piece had an independent attack rune, ensuring that it could tear open a cavity more than one or two meters in diameter inside the target’s body.
Even giant monsters that were more than ten to twenty meters tall would be torn into pieces and turned into mush under the barrage of such ammunition.
