Chapter 679: Devouring Heaven
Compared to using virus-based biological weapons, directly spreading poison and killing everywhere, the meat-grinder-style conventional warfare model rarely appeared in the Holy Progenitors' minds.
In war, when it came to the highest efficiency and speed of killing, it was either using space-based weapons to directly incinerate an entire planet into a glass sphere, or spreading modulated and modified viruses.
Compared to spreading bacterial viruses, space-based weapons were extremely energy-intensive, belonging to weapons with lower cost-effectiveness.
One goes in the macroscopic direction, while the other tries to go in the microscopic, avoiding engagement on the same dimension. A meat grinder has always been a waste of human lives.
......
"Everyone, pay attention, there are bacteria in the air!" Hanluo, whose perception was the most refined, detected a certain malice from microorganisms.
"What, is the air suddenly free of bacteria?!"
"......"
"They seem to be able to control the bacteria in the air and invade our bodies."
"I'm afraid these aren't ordinary bacteria."
"Invaded by a civilization that can toy with plagues... this world is definitely finished."
"This has nothing to do with us. Once the mission is complete, we can return to the Main God Temple. What does the world's survival or destruction matter?"
After quickly familiarizing themselves with combat methods for dealing with bugs and modified bacteria, the remaining members of the Hell Squad began to continue flying towards the direction of the dimensional gate.
......
"Six-tier powerhouses are indeed not easy to deal with. Bugs can't bite them, nor can they catch up, and they can barely observe the bacteria, making conscious defenses."
The temporary commander-in-chief in the base had a headache.
It hadn't even been a day since their arrival. Special weapons to deal with high-tier powerhouses hadn't even had time to be deployed, yet these experts had already launched a decapitation strike.
It truly caught him off guard.
But the arrow was on the string, and had to be loosed.
"Holy! Arrival!"
A signal was sent from the command center, instantly spreading throughout the entire base.
Finally, facing a target difficult to confront head-on, the commander-in-chief decisively threw out his trump card—
Summon the God Body!
Pure white spirit energy threads began to surge from the heads of millions of Holy Progenitors, automatically converging in the sky above the dimensional gate.
The dense threads quickly wove into a net of spirit energy, which then slowly curled up, transforming into a sphere of light.
However, the sky did not brighten because of this; instead, it grew even more somber.
Dark clouds pressed down on the city, as if to crush it!
A certain inexplicable pressure permeated the heart of every member of the Hell Squad.
The sphere of light slowly rose, creating a vortex as if it had struck the surface of water.
Almost in an instant, the vortex expanded wildly, immediately covering the entire area of the base.
Moreover, the vortex continued to grow outwards, shadows shrouding everything.
The vast majority of Holy Progenitors looked towards the sky with an attitude as if revering a miracle.
The sun was obscured by the vortex, leaving only the faint glow of the light sphere at the vortex's center.
In a trance, an indescribable phantom began to emerge from the vortex.
......
"Sis, why is the sky dark again...?" Lun Heping remembered that this seemed to be the third time the sky had turned dark in two days.
The first time they said it was a typhoon, but then it quickly disappeared.
The second time they still said it was a typhoon, but soon the sky brightened again.
They're trying to fool idiots!
"He's here." The girl put away her usual casual demeanor and said with a serious expression, looking up at the sky.
"He?" Lun Heping didn't react for a moment, but he could feel that the world was about to change.
......
"Reporting to the Cardinal Deputy Chief of Staff, the mysterious shadow appearing high above New York City is..." The breathless subordinate just broke off at the most crucial point and started to pant.
"......"
Cardinal Deputy Chief of Staff Zeppelin looked at this ill-mannered fellow with great dissatisfaction, staring at him until he felt a tingling sensation all over.
Stopping mid-sentence at a crucial point, who wouldn't be annoyed by that?
"...The Sky Observation Bureau combined hundreds of photographs taken from various angles and discovered that it might be the finger of some giant."
"...That old geezer wants to tell me that haze capable of covering an entire province is just the phantom image of a single finger?!"
"Damn it, that's a province! Do you understand what a province is?! Does he even know what a province is?! A province! Not a biscuit!"
The frantic Cardinal Deputy Chief of Staff roared at his subordinate.
"Calm down." A voice came from behind the Deputy Chief of Staff.
"Merlin, that's a whole province!" Zeppelin's hometown was under the shadow's shroud, his state of mind couldn't help but become agitated.
"Logically, He shouldn't have descended before the passage was fully repaired..." Merlin murmured to himself.
As one of the very few people who had previously engaged in close communication with that alien high-level being, he immediately realized that it must be the alien who called himself Bai.
......
"This is — sheer madness!"
At this moment, those who understood it best were none other than the Hell Squad, who were directly bearing this pressure.
"That's the projection of a finger from the alien god's true body."
At this critical juncture, Hanluo decisively activated Forced Calm Mode, lowering his emotions to an extreme low point, reacting based on reason.
"Seven Ultimate Limitations."
"Mountain Collapse!"
In Rational Mode, Hanluo chose a forbidden technique with extremely powerful explosive force—the Seven Ultimate Limitations of Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth—attempting to counter attack with attack, and destroy the giant finger continuously pressing down in one go.
Because there simply was no option to escape.
The phantom finger with a diameter of nearly a thousand kilometers pressed down indiscriminately towards the ground; the members of the Hell Squad, positioned directly in the center, were precisely the primary target.
Everyone knew clearly that escape was impossible.
Several streaks of saber light flashed past, leaving three imperceptible wounds on the giant finger.
The Mountain Collapse ultimate technique, powerful enough to easily cleave off a mountaintop, capable of toppling mountains and severing peaks, yet it didn't slow the finger down by half a jot.
Instead, Hanluo's hands, which had used the Forbidden Blade Technique, gained four or five wounds deep enough to reveal bone.
The aftershocks of the collision propagated through the air, blowing away all the small pebbles scattered across the ground.
The flying stones, carrying immense kinetic energy, struck the walls, their destructive power comparable to bullets.
......
"Devour! Heaven!"
After the Mountain Collapse ultimate technique proved ineffective, he unleashed the strongest move among the Seven Great Hatreds, the forbidden technique among forbidden techniques—Devouring Heaven!
Under normal circumstances, the user would absolutely not survive more than an hour after using it, immediately dying from the terrifying backlash.
But Hanluo didn't care.
As long as they weren't deemed dead by the Main God, they would receive a free restorative treatment upon completion of the main mission.
Regardless of how severe the injuries were, how much poison they were afflicted with, or how many curses they endured.
Once the Main God's healing light passed over, everything would return to its optimal state.
It was precisely because of this point that self-destructive techniques like the Demonic Disintegration Great X Art became the optimal choice for a massive number of Reincarnators.
The fatal after-effects of such explosive techniques, as long as the Main God was present, were no longer an issue.
