Chapter 693 - 321: Lies (Part 2)
"What is this!"
Chu Xiu suddenly stood up, his face showing a serious expression.
Almost at the same time, a stern voice from Green Lady came through the earring Chu Xiu was wearing:
"All who hear this message, proceed to the command center immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the seriousness on Chu Xiu’s face deepened!
Recalling the Heroic Spirits stationed at the front line is akin to giving the enemy a spontaneous opportunity! Green Lady’s actions imply one of two possibilities: either she’s certain the enemy won’t attack now, or the gravity of the current situation is beyond imagination!
Without hesitation, Chu Xiu swiftly moved and headed towards the center with Chen Yuan.
In just a minute, all the summoned Heroic Spirits had gathered in the command hall.
This time, not only Huang Anhua, the lone demigod, was present in the hall; five demigods were there, including Green Lady!
Everyone had a solemn expression, waiting for the demigods to speak.
Under everyone’s gaze, Green Lady slowly began, "I shouldn’t need to explain what that head is."
"Indeed, that is the true form of the Outer Realm Demon!"
"You may wonder why it looks different from before; it’s because, as a Star God, the planet itself is its true body. No matter how massive an external manifestation is, it’s merely a puppet-like avatar. The Outer Realm Demon has at least a thousand such avatars!"
"These avatars possess different abilities and can merge with creatures from their world, enhancing them further."
As if understanding what everyone was most concerned about, Green Lady wasted no words and directly addressed the most pressing issue.
Although she was still veiled, everyone could sense she no longer had the lazy charm from two days prior, but instead, she displayed a faint weariness.
Her words threw everyone into silence.
Whether it was the newly appeared faceless giant or other colossal entities previously glimpsed, their aura was incredibly overwhelming, far surpassing that of demigods, even surpassing Celestial Kings!
And yet such terrifying power was merely a puppet avatar?
The true might of the Outer Realm Demon is beyond comprehension!
With such a formidable entity coveting Blue Star, do they truly have a chance to resist?
As if seeing through their thoughts, Green Lady continued, "If the Outer Realm Demon truly descends, we would naturally have no chance of winning. However, there is still a slim hope for now."
"The pillars that descended later are called ’Black Death Pillars.’
"These so-called ’Black Death Pillars’ are the supports of the Black Death Prison. They are war artifacts refined by the Outer Realm Demon over eons. As long as the Horned Demons capture enough areas, they can set up and summon the Black Death Pillars to descend."
"Their function is to continuously transmit the Death Qi from the Outer Demon Realm into the world connected by the ’Black Death Pillars’, forming a ’Death Realm’ in the vicinity."
"Once eight pillars’ ’Death Realms’ connect, forming a complete whole, the area in the center of the eight Black Death Pillars will temporarily become part of the Outer Demon Realm, allowing the Outer Realm Demon to transmit the terrifying power of the [Star God]."
"When that happens..."
Green Lady didn’t finish, but everyone understood the desperate situation they were in.
If left unchecked, once the Death Realm is fully connected and the Outer Realm Demon descends, Peng City would be obliterated in an instant! Not only the Heroic Spirits, but even the demigods would have little hope of survival!
To prevent this, they must destroy the eight Black Death Pillars.
But the problem is...
Previously, when fighting within Green Lady’s domain, they still had decades of defensive resources accumulated by Peng City, yet they were still forced to steadily retreat.
Now, it’s their turn to assault the enemy’s domain; how could there be any chance of success?
For a moment, despair filled the hall.
Chu Xiu remained relatively calm, first because he had life-saving artifacts, and second because he believed the government wouldn’t gather them here just to meet their demise; they likely already had a countermeasure.
Sure enough, after everyone had processed the information, Zhao Fengming stepped forward and said loudly, "There’s no need to panic, everyone! The enemy has their tactics, and naturally, we have ours!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s spirits lifted, and they listened intently.
"Attacking the Black Death Pillars means playing into the enemy’s rhythm, which is the worst strategy. What we need to do is detonate the nuclear bombs according to the previous plan, cooperating with external forces to directly breach the Black Death Prison in one strike!"
Zhao Fengming’s words brightened everyone’s eyes as he revealed the government’s plan without hesitation!
"Through contact with the outer world, we’ve set the attack time."
"The Black Death Pillars require at least three days to connect and form the Death Realm."
"And in just two days, all preparations will be complete; forty nuclear bombs will simultaneously detonate above Peng City!"
Forty nuclear bombs!
Zhao Fengming’s words shocked everyone!
It’s important to know that Huaxia’s conventional nuclear warheads all have a minimum yield of fifty kilotons! Forty exploding together would create unimaginable power.
"These forty nuclear bombs will explode in different areas. With the immense pressure from the external nuclear explosions, the scaling ratio of the Black Death Prison will become vast, allowing King Tier attacks, let alone those of Heroic Spirits, to easily dismantle the Black Death Prison from within!"
