Chapter 493 In the face of absolute strength, everything is meaningless!
"The mission doesn't require a massacre, but rather, we must continue as before, break through to the 'Eternal Night' ritual site, release the flames, and cooperate with Ikashi's actions..."
"Tsk, but until now, it seems that no one knows who she is going to shake over."
As the thought flashed through his mind, Colin controlled the crazy fire giant, whose will was unified with his own, and moved forward.
Ignoring all traps and arrangements, he continued forward like a bulldozer.
Some of the Akashi forces that had gathered from other garrisons were immediately excited when they saw this scene.
"Charge! Defeat those unrepentant 'Nightfallers'!"
"Go! Go! Keep up with the team!"
"Be careful, don't get too close, and be aware of the remaining traps..."
A group of people shouted loudly and gathered from all directions, following the gap in the defense line torn open by Colin and rushed in one after another.
However, they did not dare to get too close.
Because the scorching flames emanating from the fire giants also have a certain suppressing effect on the power in them.
But no matter what, the current situation is much easier than they initially imagined.
Even easy!
In the initial conception, they would have to pay a huge price just to break through several layers of defense traps on the periphery. Only after at least half of them were killed or wounded could they send the remaining half into the "Night Faction".
Then, only then would I have the chance to see the other person...
But now, at least so far, except for some people who accidentally fell into some remaining traps, everyone else is basically unharmed.
As the front line continued to advance, more than ten minutes later, Colin saw the deeper part of the "Eternal Night" ceremony.
The place was already shrouded in an extremely dense darkness, and the entire area was pitch black...
And from within the darkness, one could faintly hear the prayers of the mortals chosen by the "Night Faction".
"The sublime and distant stillness and darkness..."
"We pray that you will recreate the miracle of 'Nightfall'..."
"May your... be able to come here..."
“…”
A faint whisper had already appeared in Colin's ears.
Millions of people were in the darkness, praying devoutly around a stone monument that came from nowhere.
With each recitation, the invisible darkness deepens...
"What a dangerous move."
Colin looked ahead and felt that this behavior was like staying outside a destroyed nuclear power plant, praying to the plant while absorbing the nuclear radiation emitted...
In other words, the humans here are physically strong enough, otherwise they would have been dead long ago.
"I guess he is the descendant of some powerful people back then."
A thought flashed through Colin's mind, and instead of continuing to look inside the night, he looked at the outer area.
There were also many people praying outside the "Eternal Night" ceremony.
However, from a distance, Colin, through some premonition, heard the content of the prayers of these people. It seemed that they were more inclined towards the health of their "relatives and friends", and even if they failed, they did not want to die, etc.
Of course, there were also some people who looked at him from afar , looking at the fire that illuminated half of the sky, with fear and terror in their eyes.
Further out, there are a large number of carriages and other things.
"It seems that although it's said that after death in the 'Eternal Night' ritual, people will ascend to the 'night' kingdom of God, in reality, most people still hope to live."
While thinking, Colin continued to move forward.
In this area right now, the only thing that makes him feel palpitations is the darkness in the center.
Elsewhere, I didn't see anything particularly threatening.
Even for those followers , the danger is only the power they possess.
But the quantity is too small to pose a threat.
As for most of the peripheral arrangements, there are giant iron arrows thrown from afar, strangely shaped shells and the like.
We were lucky enough to hit him in the knee...
Overall, it makes no sense.
"Overall, it seems like the level of combat here is more like the early stages of World War II?"
Colin pursed his lips, and after breaking through another line of defense, he continued to move forward. He quickly walked more than ten kilometers, and then suddenly a layer of black curtain barrier appeared in front of him, as if it was an energy field.
At a glance, Colin immediately estimated that this barrier could handle ordinary extraordinary people of the official level six or even level seven.
But for him...
"boom!"
The crazy fire giant raised his foot and kicked over.
Ripples spread instantly...
It didn’t break at all on the first try?
"Interesting! It can actually transfer the force from one point to the entire shield, evenly distributing the attack..."
Colin raised his eyebrows and immediately realized the situation. He was a little curious about this slightly counterintuitive shield.
But, these things can be learned later...
Now it’s time to get down to business!
With his thoughts gathered, Colin controlled the fire giant to raise his right hand, accumulate energy, and then punched the barrier with a simple punch.
Immediately afterwards, the entire barrier shook and exploded into a sky full of pitch-black matter.
"Unfortunately, all techniques are meaningless in the face of absolute strength."
"Without interference, the barrier that Hunger personally cast wouldn't have been able to restrain me, let alone this barrier that was only indirectly and crudely created using the power of Night."
Controlling his fiery body, Colin continued to move forward.
Moreover, during this process, the body of the giant transformed by the crazy fire was gradually growing taller.
From the previous height of 100 meters, it gradually rushed towards 300 meters...
Many members of the "Night Faction" who rushed up to try to attack him could no longer even give him a "pedicure".
This situation also made them more desperate...
The "Night Party" are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that even if they die, they will not see any hope at all.
Then their sacrifice would seem meaningless!
"Brother Shunzi, you're not giving them any chance at all, hehe."
The orange cat stood on the shoulder of the fire giant and looked down. Thinking about himself fighting side by side with Brother Shunzi, killing people indiscriminately, he felt an inexplicable... sense of pleasure?
On the other side of the shoulder, Aikasi and the others looked down and were equally shocked. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this "bonfire" messenger didn't seem to have much killing intention towards ordinary humans.
Just by walking this route, the "Dark Night" believers had no idea how many casualties they would suffer.
He will not be burned by flames like now, but will just let the "night" power in his body evaporate and fall into a coma, but he will not die.
Even if they were stepped on by a fire giant, they would not die...
At most, he would be seriously injured and fall to the ground.
"It's okay..." Akashi felt a little relieved.
Having seen the terrifying murderous nature of the "Bonfire" messenger when hunting deformed creatures, they were a little worried that he would become ruthless and burn all of their people to death.
In that case...
It’s hard to say whether choosing “night” or “bonfire” is better.
After all, the destruction of the world by "Night" was just a premonition, and that's why they called for the arrival of "Bonfire". But what if the "Bonfire" burned all the people first...
That……
Well, it looks like there's no need to worry about that now.
And it was at this moment that Colin spoke again.
"There are still several layers of defense. I plan to eliminate them all at once. You can start moving from the back to destroy that 'thorn device'..."
"Also, when you fall, Orange Cat, remember to make sure everyone lands safely. If anything unexpected happens, I'll let you know the consequences."
"Don't waste too much time, I have other tasks to perform."
“There’s not much leisure to stop here.”
The sound was transmitted to the ears of everyone on the body through the flames.
"Hiss, what the hell? I just wanted to simply tell someone to go down and execute the device destruction plan, why did your tone become like this..."
"This damn 'fake strongman', as my strength increases, the benefits have decreased and are not as obvious as before, but the side effects have not decreased at all..."
Kelin couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Although the words had the correct meaning, the tone left him speechless.
Hearing this, Akahi looked at the other two employees. Although she didn't say anything, they both seemed to see in her eyes that they were saying, "Is your boss okay?"
"It's a small matter. Brother Shunzi has a strange device. Once you use it, you will become a show-off. Don't worry about it."
The "Owner of the Fish Pond" waved his hand, indicating that it was not a big problem.
Although no details were given about Brother Shunzi's prop, it is not too unfamiliar inside.
Every employee has heard of...
Of course, even though he's a bit of a show-off, I've heard that Brother Shunzi's personality won't change much. Even when he was being arrogant, he reminded Orange Cat to make sure everyone landed safely, which was the best proof...
After all, in the Fire Giant, the characteristics of these users of the power of "Night" are compressed to the extreme.
If you jump from a few hundred meters and don't hit your head, you won't necessarily die.
But it is still possible to suffer minor or serious injuries or even lose limbs.
So...he really...
The "Lord of the Fish Pond" shook his head slightly, and without further explanation, he jumped over and got off the giant's shoulders.
Seeing this, the others followed suit and began to execute the plan they had made before...
…
"What should I do? It's getting closer..."
Inside the core circle, some stationed personnel asked anxiously.
The oppressive feeling of the terrifying flames approaching step by step was too strong...
At this moment, they could no longer see the friendly forces that had stepped forward to stop them. After those people were consumed by the flames, their "night" power was consumed, and they could no longer sense them. They immediately thought that they had turned to ash...
So besides the fear, I can't help but feel sad, angry, and helpless.
However, the white-haired old man did not speak immediately after hearing his words.
His dark eyes looked ahead, and he could clearly see that the sky, which should have been slightly dim, was now illuminated by a bright orange-red flame...
All the arrangements on the entire road have little effect on it.
But...even so, we must fight!
"Don't be discouraged. We still have several layers of defense. As long as night falls, the power of 'Night' will reach its peak. With the help of that power, we will definitely be able to drive out that Outer God believer!"
A calm and powerful voice came out of the old man's mouth.
It calmed people's restless hearts a little bit...
At this moment, the old man put his hands behind his back, turned sideways, and moved his gaze, sweeping across the millions of people and the land where he had lived for countless centuries...
Although this is not their hometown, all the memories of this group of people throughout history are spent here.
This land full of disasters carries too many of their memories and history.
Rebirth and death, as well as the struggle against aberrations, have persisted for countless generations. From ancient times to the present, many things have long been impossible to give up easily...
But now, it may be reduced to ashes under a flame.
No, absolutely not!
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and turned around again. His dark eyes were filled with determination and perseverance:
"The people are right behind us, we can no longer retreat...
"If death is unavoidable, then we, a bunch of old bones, can hold out for the final moments...
"When 'night falls', everything will be fine!"
As he spoke, the emotions of the people around him became firm again.
"Alright! Let's fight him one more time! Even if I die, it doesn't matter!"
"'Night' will protect us!"
"Okay, okay! When we win in the future, I'm going to use that invader's head as a wine glass!"
“…”
At this moment, a person who was in charge of watching suddenly shouted:
"Look! What is he going to do?"
Hearing his words, everyone calmed down their excitement and turned their gaze towards the fire giant in the distance, who was ten kilometers away but whose flames illuminated half of the world.
At this moment, they found that the giant seemed to be shrinking?
A large amount of flames rose from the giant's body, rising like smoke—
"Can't you bear using this power?"
Some people's eyes lit up, and they speculated with surprise, wondering if the other party could no longer hold on.
"No……"
The old man shook his head, denying the idea of the "awakened one".
At this moment, everyone discovered that the rising flames gathered again in mid-air.
It formed a mythical thing like the "sun" in the legend!
Moreover, compared to the fire giant, the flame seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation after it was gathered together. It was no longer so crazy, but the light it emitted was even more intense!
The originally dim and "comfortable" darkness had even receded somewhat...
The whole world became brighter than ever before.
Under the cover of strong light, everyone present saw the appearance of this world with their own eyes for the first time.
What made them feel even more strange and uncomfortable was...
They were clearly full of hostility towards the huge fireball in front of them, and were 100% certain that it was the enemy they had to stop at the cost of their lives, a terrifying enemy that could not possibly exist under the heavens!
But the body doesn't listen to them.
Even deep in my heart, there is a kind of indescribable sense of pleasure that emerges along with the faint heat.
This embarrassing situation made some people blush.
