Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Shattered Barrier! War Gods Assemble!
Beautiful Country, inside the Hero Tower.
The young man and the middle-aged man stood side by side.
More than a dozen preserved corpses floated eerily in the air and then fell neatly, displayed before the two of them.
“What’s your talent, kid, that you can extract power from the dead?”
“And your control over gravity, it’s perfectly beyond my imagination.”
The Hero Tower is equipped with numerous sensing mechanisms. Once someone enters or has thoughts about the corpses of the War Gods, an alarm would be triggered.
Even Bai Di did not have the authority to disable these mechanisms.
“It’s quite standard, actually. If I could fully master the corresponding Supreme Law, the potential for improvement would be significant.”
Lin Yi smiled and responded.
Then he placed his hands one by one on each of the corpses.
One, two, a total of fifteen War God corpses, were all touched by him.
However, to Bai Di’s surprise, Lin Yi’s power did not noticeably increase, which was far from what he had described.
“Lin Yi, are you messing with me, kid?”
“Didn’t you say that after touching the War God corpses, your power would greatly increase, so why…?”
Lin Yi made a gesture to silence him, returned the fifteen corpses to their places, and then left the Hero Tower with Bai Di.
Wrapped in a wind mass, the two floated in the air thousands of meters high, overlooking all of Washington.
“Bai Di, improving strength isn’t something that can be achieved overnight.”
“I’ll do my best to help you with what I promised.”
“There’s something I want to show you.”
Before Bai Di could reply, Lin Yi used the Tier Four mechanical skill [Share] on him, replaying the memories he gained from two generations of War Gods of the Ross Clan in his mind.
In a matter of seconds, Bai Di’s mind was flooded with massive information.
He showed a look of horror, involuntarily stepping back two paces.
“How, how could it be.”
“How could they do such a thing when I have been so loyal, doing so many things for them.”
The Ross Clan held a huge amount of resources in the Beautiful Country, truly ruling it alongside other capitalists.
Every election of the person in charge of the Beautiful Country was controlled by them.
“You saw it with your own eyes, can it be fake? Think carefully about how many unspeakable things you’ve done for them over the years; the more you do, the harder you die.”
Bloodthirsty scenes replayed endlessly in his mind.
To keep things clean, anyone related to the person in charge, regardless of closeness, had to be eliminated.
Bai Di had long become heartless after being in high positions for many years.
But no matter how heartless, he couldn’t accept that after his death, his own family would be ruthlessly erased.
The unbearable truth nearly filled his entire mind, and it took Bai Di a few minutes to realize that Lin Yi’s purpose in joining the Beautiful Country was not pure.
Even after obtaining Poseidon’s Trident for the Beautiful Country, his allegiance still belonged to Xia.
“You, you wanted the corpses not to enhance your power but to gather intelligence!”
What was the use of realizing this now?
Bai Di clutched his face desperately, trembling in despair, helplessly kneeling in front of Lin Yi.
When Bai Di realized he had made an irreparable colossal mistake, he was heartbroken and wept aloud.
In that moment, he looked no different from a child.
“You, Lin Yi, you’re a demon!”
The first light of dawn broke, a thin mist, like a veil, enveloped the sky above Washington.
It cast a layer of tranquility over this city.
The birds on the branches had not yet begun to sing merrily, and the people were still immersed in sweet dreams.
Suddenly, a colossal shadow fell with a crash.
A visible wave of energy spread out from above Washington.
A deafening sound, like the cracking of the world, made the once tranquil city tremble in fear.
“Ha, old man, your methods don’t work, can’t even break a shield. Watch me, Old Cat’s turn!”
In the next moment, even before the populace awakened in terror could figure out what was going on, they noticed that the sky was gradually darkening.
A pair of giant cat paws, large enough to block out the sky, quietly appeared above the city.
With Wan Chong Mountain’s roar, the sharp claws mercilessly struck the faint shield, sparking brilliant sparks.
“Mr. Wan, what you’re saying, the teacher had a different occupation than you.”
“Let me lend a hand too! [Golden Rhinoceros Pendant]”
“Xia’s tactics are impressive; we can’t fall behind~”
A ray of sun light, transformed into a sword, parted the morning clouds and struck the city’s protective shield.
The Ten Thousand Jin Warhammer, thousands of meters long, and a strange black scythe hidden in black mist…
Hundreds of dazzling Forbidden Curses and advanced skills pounded the Washington shield one after another.
The shield, capable of nullifying most attack effects, shattered at this moment.
Under Lingxi War God Cheng Xiao’s Sumeru Realm, a hundred War Gods from various countries stealthily infiltrated the Beautiful Country and launched a surprise attack.
The defensive system which the Beautiful Country had been proud of for thousands of years finally showed a breach under the combined effort of everyone.
Just as the Sun God of War of the Ribuluo Empire was about to launch an attack on the defenseless Beautiful Country establishment, a shield, filled with white stars, appeared from thin air, covering the entire Washington.
“Hehe, remarkable!”
“You guys reacted pretty fast, but having entered my Beautiful Country, there’s little chance you’ll leave alive.”
A man wearing a tight battle suit of red, blue, and white stripes appeared out of nowhere.
His arms crossed over his chest, head held high, chin slightly raised.
Staring down at the hundred War Gods from various countries, his eyes were full of disdain and arrogance.
As if to say, the elite of each country couldn’t catch his attention.
Old Cat Wan Chong Mountain was famously hot-tempered.
Seeing the man’s arrogant demeanor, he cursed displeasedly.
“Ha, National Guardian Shield, one-on-one, I, Old Cat, am indeed not your match.”
“But today, it’s not just a hundred War Gods; do you think that turtle shell of yours can protect this city?”
“I advise you to surrender obediently!”
“Once you’re beaten to the ground looking for your teeth, I, Old Cat, won’t be ridiculing you~”
A hundred War Gods are indeed troublesome.
Across the Blue Star, there’s probably no country that could withstand such power.
But the Beautiful Country was well-prepared.
The National Guardian Shield didn’t take Wan Chong Mountain’s sarcasm to heart.
Instead, a sinister curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In that smile, arrogance and pride filled him, as if declaring his dominance over everything.
With the National Guardian Shield’s fingertip snapping, Wan Chong Mountain initiated the attack first.
But in the next second, a blade burning with the power of Descent Abyss unexpectedly pierced through his abdomen.
