Chapter 1409 - Hao Ren’s Superweapon (1/2)

The whole grand temple complex was shaking violently.

The ancient temple on the central highlands had been standing in the heart of the ancient city of Ertos for nearly 10,000 years. Neither the wind nor the passage of time had fundamentally shaken its foundation. Even as the city lay in ruins, the streets went into a state of dilapidation, and even the words on the granite slabs were worn away and flattened by the wind, the magnificent complex still maintained its proud upright posture. It was as stubborn and strong as its material.

However, that day, the ancient temple was finally meeting its end.

The negative energy spread outward from the central area of the temple. Solid granite masonry quickly became as fragile as rotten soil due to the energy-based attack. The heavy mass of the great pyramid weighed on the crumbling columns and walls, gradually causing the entire structure to crack through the middle in a terrifying way. Huge slabs and columns crumbled down the pyramid’s slope. The sound of the rock breaking apart from the depths of the pyramid sounded like thunder rumbling in the depths of the earth. At last, the great pyramid came crashing down with a thunderous crash.

The collapse of the main building immediately affected the surrounding buildings. Smoke billowed from the two little pyramids and several of the arched palaces. Soon, they collapsed in a series of crashes. Clouds of dust rose from the uplands, blocking out the sun, as though an active volcano had erupted in the middle of the city. The colossi, who had been restless around the upland, fell silent for a moment. They raised their heads in unison and stared at the crumbling temple in eerie silence.

Flashes of light flared through the smoke accompanied by loud explosions, and a few figures emerged from the center of the smoky area. It was Y’zaks and the others. They went all the way to the edge of the uplands, then stopped a hundred meters or so from the colossi, watching for any movement from the colossi. They kept an eye on the center of the field.

The colossi did not seem to notice the intruders. They still stared up at the higher grounds, standing still.

A gust of wind swept over the uplands and finally blew away the thick dust. Over the ruins of the great pyramid, which had collapsed into disrepair, two swarms of bats were whirling rapidly and creating sharp, piercing sounds. Powerful electric current bounced between the bats. Shrouded in a crimson cloud, Vivian was standing in the middle of the bat swarms, with huge wings spreading out behind her.

Next to Vivian, Hao Ren was also floating in the sky. A pale blue halo hung around him. It was the glow of the antigravity field that the MDT brought. In fact, Hao Ren did not like air combat very much, but he was now facing the Malevolence, so he had no better choice.

Anyway, up to that point, he had gone through a hundred battles. His experience in facing the enemy mid-air had gradually increased, hence he could still cope.

As for Lily, she had to stay on the ground. One, she would assume the duties of holding up the fort, and second, because of her physical flexibility, the obstacles on the ground did not affect her very much.

The Malevolence was floating hundreds of meters away from Hao Ren and Vivian. The crimson mist around her kept surging, repairing her arm, which had just been shot off by Hao Ren.

The moment the pyramid collapsed, Hao Ren seized the opportunity to shoot. It actually hit the target, and although it failed to kill the Malevolence completely, it did weaken some of its power, which brought at least one piece of good news: the enemy was not invincible.

The divinity that the Malevolence carried was an unexpected situation. Once there was divinity involved, many things had to be replanned.

Vivian had a certain effect of suppression on all her Malevolences. This suppressive effect was derived from the power of the goddess of creation, so she was an important force in the battle.

Lily had eaten a large amount of divine food, which Hao Ren brought back from Raven 12345’s place. She had also eaten a lot of heavenly food when she was a guest in Raven’s place, so she was the one with the strongest divinity in the family after Hao Ren.

Together with Hao Ren, who was a demigod, the three of them were the best people to fight against the “divine Malevolence”.

As for the rest of them, they certainly had a certain degree of combat capability. However, they were now facing a crazy creature. It would be too dangerous for the weaker one to remain on the battlefield, so they had to take a back seat for the time being.

Y’zaks and Lorrisa were very strong, but for now, they were only able to serve as bodyguards at the rear.

“Hao Ren, this Malevolence is different,” Vivian quickly said as she calmed down. “She has divinity. Can you deal with it?”
