This is undoubtedly one of the most obvious weaknesses of the entire airship. Once the airbag is broken, crash is inevitable.
Code knew very well that if they lost the advantage of high-speed flight, the possibility of escaping back to the Broken City would be almost zero!
Fortunately, at this moment, a dazzling laser beam shot over from a distance, cutting off the sharp claws of the legendary beast. Then everyone saw a silver eagle flying through the middle.
It was faster than the wind and quicker than sound. Only a blurry afterimage could be seen when it passed by. The air currents it created almost overturned the airship...
"It's a supersonic fighter!" Hill shouted excitedly. It was obvious that the support from the parliament had arrived!
Chapter 596: The God of Lies and the Web of Shadows
In the sky above a foreign land, a silver fighter plane rushed through the intertwined flames of war. The laser beam shot out from the front end was like the sharpest knife, cutting off the sharp claws of a legendary beast. Then, amid the painful roar of the beast, it turned its fuselage, avoided the flapping of its wings, and shot it down with several missiles!
In such a brutal battlefield, losing speed upon landing means death. Facing the thermobaric bombs and Kagerou cannons that sweep the ground, even a legend would find it difficult to survive such an attack.
After dealing with this enemy, Lydia did not stop at all and quickly ran towards the next target.
With fear in his heart, Code sent out an electromagnetic wave to express his gratitude, and used the external field to repair the damaged alchemical protection. His heart, which had been in his throat, finally relaxed a little.
Although the journey ahead is equally thrilling, it is undoubtedly much safer in comparison.
In order to protect wizards like them who were unlucky and stranded on the other side of the foreign land, the Parliament dispatched a total of 150 supersonic fighters to carry out escort missions and eliminate those powerful flying monsters at specific locations to prevent the enemy from directly breaking through the airspace.
After more than three hours, Code and others finally saw the broken city that had been renovated several times.
"Fortunately, we are finally back!" The moment the airship landed, Hill was so happy that he almost cried.
Even Code's legs felt a little weak. The most dangerous moment on the journey, apart from the attack of the legendary beast, was when a Yangyan cannon fired. The edge of the cone-shaped destruction zone was only about 20 meters away from the airship.
Although there would be corresponding electromagnetic signals transmitted before the Yangyan Cannon was fired, telling them to dodge in advance, the range of that thing was too large. Once they were caught in it, all of them would be turned into atoms in an instant!
The person in charge of picking up Code was his old acquaintance Mori. The few people who had just escaped death had no time to reminisce about the past. Instead, they asked worriedly about the current situation and how many people were still stranded in a foreign land.
Obviously, they were not the first group of people to arrive at the Broken City, nor were they the last. Over the past three hours, more than 100,000 people had been gradually evacuated. It was expected that all those outside would return in half an hour, and by then all the defenders left in the Broken City would also leave.
"That means we only have four hours to evacuate?" Code frowned.
If he remembered correctly, many wizards from the Nature Conservation Association had applied for research projects on exotic marine ecology. That place was extremely far away from here. At the speed of an airship, it would take at least ten hours to reach the Broken City.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for them!" Mori shook his head helplessly. This doesn't mean that the parliament has given up on these people on its own initiative, but now they can't receive their electromagnetic wave communications at all. I'm afraid that they are in great danger.
This attack from the main world was too sudden and too intense. Even the legendary wizards could not resist the energy shock of the first wave of giant palms...
Those who are unlucky enough to be in the impact range have almost no chance of survival.
Kord sighed. "In that case, let's stay and help."
Mori was immediately overjoyed. They were very short of manpower now, and when the guards gradually withdrew, that would be the time when the defense would be most likely to have problems.
Although they planned to use large-scale hydrogen bombing to fill the protection gap created by the evacuation of the last batch of personnel, they still needed some high-end forces to ensure that no accidents occurred.
In the absence of the speakers, the Great Wizard is the highest combat power they can muster!
"Heaven... look up at the sky!"
As the two were chatting, a loud cry of surprise suddenly rang out. Code and the others immediately looked over with tense expressions, and a chill suddenly ran through their hearts!
A lightsaber made of energy and of nearly infinite length slashed down from the sky. The terrifying power made the wizards present feel that death was approaching.
Fortunately, the lightsaber was not aimed at them. It deflected and cut out a huge canyon on the battlefield where artillery fire roared!
This is the antimatter sword!
As the target of the lightsaber attack, the God of Fire was nearly split in half on the spot. Although he was the most powerful one who appeared, he was also the weakest. He was targeted by Lin En a lot, and his anger was aroused.
Ultra-high temperatures that were so hot that they could distort time and space and dissolve matter exploded from all over his body. It was a force more powerful than stellar flares, and the storm of fire covered the entire sky.
Under the high temperature of tens of billions of degrees, all the elements around were rapidly disintegrating, and fire soon began to rain from the sky!
Although these rains of fire were just the aftermath of magic, they were still powerful and smashed into every part of the ground almost indiscriminately. Both the Mengersai who emerged from the rifts in time and space and the wizards who defended the Broken City were within the range of the attack.
Lin En did not dare to ask for help too obviously, otherwise the creatures on this planet could easily be used as a target by the other side.
As for the mere high temperature of 10 billion degrees, he did not take it seriously. His body was already covered by a neutron shield, and the temperature required to dissolve neutrons was in the trillions!
However, in order to move the battlefield away from the foreign land and avoid causing too much accidental injuries, Lin En flew out of the coverage of the fire storm.
In fact, the gods who descended on foreign lands did not deliberately target the ants underground. After all, for them, believers were the key to maintaining their strength, but to put it bluntly, no matter how many died, they were just a number!
The God of Fire roared in anger after he erupted again but failed to achieve any results.
"Ankara, what are you waiting for?"
The God of Fire felt extremely aggrieved. There were clearly three gods who had arrived in the foreign land, but he was the only one who was actually fighting against the other side.
The God of Life and Creation went to deal with those alchemical creations that had strange appearances but could pose a considerable threat to them, while the God of Lies Ankara had been hiding in the dark since the war began, and would only provide assistance in critical moments.
After hearing the loud shout from the God of Fire, Lin En immediately became alert. Compared to the God of Fire in front of him who only had weak divine power and could not pose much threat, the other god whose priesthood and power were completely unknown was the target he really feared.
His perception within the divine realm had been expanded to the extreme, and an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart, but this area was filled with the opponent's divine power, and it was impossible to determine the specific location of this unknown god.
Where will it be?
As Lin En guessed the other party's priesthood and the abilities he might use, the sense of crisis in his mind became stronger and stronger.
This made Lin En extremely confused. He was under the protection of the neutron shield. Even for a god of medium power, it would not be easy to break through this defense.
Since the threat does not come from outside, it can only be from within!
The next moment after realizing this, Lin En discovered that part of his magic power suddenly went out of control!
No, that's not the case, because this part of magic power does not belong to you.
The one who made the move was Ankara, the God of Lies. His duties were lies and disguises. He could even silently integrate his magic power into the divine domains of other gods and launch a fatal blow at the most critical moment!
[Web of Shadows]
Silently, the divine power spread throughout the entire area transformed into fine threads, which instantly condensed into a huge shadow grid, and quickly closed in, covering the surrounding airspace of several thousand meters.
Lin En, who was trapped in it, was like a prey caught by a spider. A strange tearing force was exerted on his body and soul at the same time.
The true form of Ankara, the God of Lies, finally appeared. It was a blood-red, hundred-foot-tall Mother of Bloodlust, with strange mottled patterns all over its back and huge arthropod-like legs that trembled on the web of shadows like plucking the strings of a guitar. The invisible power was transmitted to Lynn's body through the silk threads.
The head with eight compound eyes opened its fangs full of sharp teeth, as if it was looking forward to enjoying this gluttonous feast...
Chapter 597: Killing God Again, Godhead of Lies
The attack by Ankara, the God of Lies, was undoubtedly very sudden. Long before the air raid when Lin En was fighting the God of Fire, Ankara had already begun to lay out his plans, quietly filling the surrounding area with his own divine power, and even analyzing and disguising it as Lin En's own magic power, directly disintegrating the protection of the neutron shield from the inside...
Bound by the shadow threads, Lynn was immediately in danger.
These threads are somewhat similar to his Mathematical Locks, both of which are high-dimensional creations that extend from four dimensions at the same time, tightly binding macroscopic matter, microscopic energy, and even the soul.
Ankara, the god of lies, who existed in the form of a giant mother of bloodlust, kept using his segmented legs to probe several times. After confirming that the opponent had no chance of escape, he impatiently waved his giant segmented legs and crawled along the shadow net.
The God of Fire looked extremely ugly, because Ankara's shadow web not only trapped Lin En, but also isolated himself from the outside.
Previously, I was the one who took the beatings and confronted the opponent head-on. Now that it is time to reap the fruits of my labor, this God of Lies intends to keep it all for himself without giving me any share at all!
"His priesthood should belong to me, Ankara! Don't forget, without my help, you would never be able to capture him so easily!" The God of Fire reminded angrily.
From the previous confrontation, it can be seen that the opponent should be a god of medium power. If he can obtain the opponent's divine position, he will definitely be able to get rid of the predicament of being a weak god.
This was also the reason why he took the initiative to request to enter this dangerous divine territory...
However, Ankara, the God of Lies, ignored the intentions of the God of Fire at all. She did not take the threat of a weak god seriously at all. After finally capturing a god as her prey, Ankara naturally wanted all of it!
Moreover, she knew very well that after the great Lord Harie came, the ownership of this divine domain would definitely not be hers, so the godhood, priesthood and divine power were the things that she could truly seize.
Seeing that the two gods from the main world had begun to argue about how their "corpses" should be distributed, Lin En's face remained calm, without any panic of being imprisoned.
Because the enemies hiding in the dark, whose strength and abilities are completely unknown, are the most dangerous. Once they are put on the stage, they lose their threat potential.
This mysterious calmness also made Ankara, the God of Lies, somewhat hesitant, and even his movement forward was slowed down by half a beat... but in the end, he could not suppress his desire for godhood and priesthood.
The only thing she was afraid of now was the possible existence of that great god, but from the test just now, it seemed that the other party was not in this plane, otherwise she would have been crushed to death long ago, how could she have waited until now!
"It should be about time!" Lin En suddenly spoke at the moment when the huge Mother of Bloodlust was approaching.
Ankara, the God of Lies, who was about to swing her forelimbs, paused involuntarily, because at the same time Lin En opened her mouth, a strong sense of crisis filled her mind.
Although Ankara was unwilling to believe that the god in front of him who was bound by the shadow web could pose a threat to him, the sense of crisis in his heart could not be faked, and his eight segmented legs suddenly lifted up the shadow web.
The densely packed shadow threads in the void, like real spider silk, surrounded Lin En and formed a closed cocoon!
But even so, the threat was still not resolved. Ankara realized that the danger did not come from Lin En inside the Shadow Network...
In the boundless void 10,000 kilometers away from the shadow-shrouded area, the five warships that were dealing with the invasion of the energy behemoth suddenly changed direction, and the terrifying electron beams in the reflection ports at the front were rapidly condensing.
After several seconds of building up momentum, five positron cannon shots crossed the barriers of time and space and fired into the sky above the foreign land.
The shadow web of Ankara, the god of lies, can weave a completely independent high-dimensional space. Without knowing the coordinates, it is difficult for outsiders to perceive and hit it.
This was also the reason why she was able to hide beside Lin En and the God of Fire without being discovered.
However, Ankara, the God of Lies, overlooked a very crucial factor, that is, Lin En was in the web of shadows, and he himself was the best coordinate!
Although he took back most of the power in order to deal with the gods from the main world, there was one exception, and that was the main ship of the spacecraft!
After all, that part of the power is used to trap Ella in the power melt and cannot be easily extracted. This also means that when necessary, the two parties can still contact each other!
By the time Ankara reacted, the positron cannon was already ready to go. In just one twentieth of a second, it had crossed a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers and bombarded the Shadow Web!
Several huge holes were blasted out of the spider-web-like layers of high-dimensional silk threads. Ankara, who was unable to dodge, was also hit by a positron cannon, and most of his body was directly evaporated...
The Bloodthirsty Mother, who was a hundred feet tall, let out a sharp and angry roar. Although the positron cannon blew up part of her body, it did not cause any substantial impact on her.
What really frightened Ankara was that at the moment when the power of shadow weakened, bursts of gray-white undead mist suddenly burst out from the inside of the cocoon.
A dazzling lightsaber cut open the sealed cocoon and severed all the shadow threads that bound the surroundings!
Lin En was indeed trapped in the web of shadows, but he was not completely powerless to resist. The reason why he cooperated so well was that he planned to lure out the god in front of him who was hiding in the shadows like a poisonous snake!
The identities of hunter and prey changed in an instant.
Ankara obviously realized this as well. He was the prey trapped in the cage because he had led the other party into the web of shadows!
With a piercing scream, the huge Mother of Bloodlust retreated, and the surrounding shadow threads were quickly retracted, and it wanted to evacuate this closed space and time.
Unfortunately, it was too late to retreat now. When Lin En raised his hand, the space and time around him began to twist and gather, and the invisible shadow threads began to crack layer by layer. Then the antimatter sword in his hand suddenly chopped down on the head, and the target was Ankara, the God of Lies who was locked on.
