"Launch the Godslayer Operation! Target: the red-robed female war goddess, suspected to be the Sun of Light from the Lieyang Civilization!"
A muffled voice rang out from the central control room of the position, and all the soldiers stationed there hurried toward it!
Then, a monster over three meters tall with six arms growing from its back was released. Its muscles were dark brown, its mouth full of sharp teeth, and its eyes were pitch-black and lifeless, save for a pair of golden vertical pupils. A terrifying half-meter horn grew from its head, while a tail three or four meters long swung casually behind it, kicking up clouds of dust!
The most terrifying thing was the monster's six arms!
The lowest pair each held a massive sword glowing faintly red. They looked like godslayer-level weapons.
The middle pair each held two spears, also glowing faintly red. They too looked like godslayer-level weapons.
The uppermost pair held a gigantic sniper rifle. It actually looked more like a sniper cannon, and it was likely capable of firing Godslayer No. 1 Armor-piercing Rounds!
A monster covered in godslayer equipment, born specifically to slay gods!
"Holy shit, what the hell is that monster?" Zhao Xin's teeth chattered, and he could barely speak clearly.
"What a terrifying monster. It actually has six arms..." Rui Mengmeng's legs were trembling too.
"The monster's appearance isn't the issue..." Wei Zitong's expression was grim. "The important part is that it's covered in godslayer equipment. That's terrifying..."
"Godslayer equipment all over its body?" Zhao Xin's eyes widened as he stammered, "Then... then... wouldn't we be... dead if it even touches us?"
"Possibly," Wei Zitong answered.
"Damn it, Jace is seriously screwing us over!" Zhao Xin immediately protested. "How does this look like a map one person could clear easily?"
"Maybe..." Wei Zitong said uncertainly, "our party increased the map's difficulty..."
"This isn't a game. How would forming a party increase the difficulty?" Lena swept over from the center of the position with a Flowing Light Technique. As she restored energy to Wei Zitong and Zhao Xin, she said with an ugly expression, "This resembles the Six-armed Asura from Universe Edge, a battle race. But that race was driven away by the Shenhe Civilization a very, very long time ago. I never expected it to be recreated here..."
"Holy shit! Asura?" Zhao Xin looked utterly incredulous. "Asura, Taotie... can anyone tell me what else hasn't shown up yet?"
"There's plenty more!" Lena clapped her hands and stood up, regaining her usual confidence. "Don't be afraid. With this Goddess here, what's a mere Asura?"
As she spoke, she lowered her head somewhat awkwardly and whispered to Wei Zitong, "Little White Horse, you need to control it and stop it from attacking. Only then will I have a chance to break it down..."
"Alright!" Wei Zitong stood up and began assigning tasks with a serious expression. "Xin Ye, Mengmeng, Old Yi, I'll give you invisibility. Find a way to restrain and harass the Asura. Protect yourselves, and don't let its weapons touch you!"
"Understood!" the three replied in unison. With a thought from Wei Zitong, they entered an invisible state. This was a recent discovery of his: some abilities he had grown accustomed to could now be activated with a thought, without him having to shout those cringeworthy lines anymore!
After the sound of the three retreating footsteps faded away, Lena turned back and teased Wei Zitong again, topping up his energy while she was at it. Then, with a Flowing Light Technique, she shot toward the Six-armed Asura with a whoosh and unleashed a Micro Solar Flare bombardment in midair without the slightest hesitation!
At the same time, the remaining heavy weapons in the position roared to life. After fighting Lena head-on for so long, they already knew how to fight her: focus fire at all costs!
The Six-armed Asura looked up at the rapidly descending Little Sun in the air and narrowed its eyes. Then it casually flicked its tail, causing dust to explode beneath its feet. In the blink of an eye, its body was already over a hundred meters away. Its speed was no less impressive than Zhao Xin's!
The instant it came to a stop, its uppermost pair of arms rapidly raised that terrifying giant sniper rifle. Without even looking, it pulled the trigger at the sky!
A thunderous boom like heavy artillery erupted. Lena burst out of the flames in midair and was blasted backward like a cannonball, her left hand holding the Dawn Shield shaking violently!
The Six-armed Asura fired several more shots in succession. Although Lena blocked every one with the Dawn Shield, the blood slowly spilling from the corner of her mouth showed that she had been seriously injured. Even when she had been caught off guard by the position's Focus Fire earlier, she had not been hurt this badly. At least, no one had seen her bleed!
"So strong!" Wei Zitong's face changed drastically beneath his invisibility. With a roar, he directly negated the distance between himself and Lena, appearing behind her in an instant and using his body to halt her backward momentum!
Of course, after using that new skill, his energy was nearly depleted in an instant. He could only barely withstand Lena's backward force by relying on the effects he had stacked earlier.
"How are you?" Wei Zitong asked anxiously.
Seeing how concerned Wei Zitong was about her, Lena felt warmth fill her heart. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled. "N-No... cough, cough... I'm fine. I have plenty of energy. I won't die!" As she spoke, she also sent an Energy Orb into Wei Zitong.
Lena realized that she really liked replenishing Wei Zitong with Energy Orbs. She did not have to wait until his energy was depleted. Whenever she sensed that his energy was not completely full, she could not resist giving him one!
Wei Zitong had no time to pay attention to Lena's little thoughts. Holding her slightly trembling body, he forcibly activated invisibility. His energy was instantly drained, only to be immediately replenished by Lena again. Giving him an orb was something she was already very practiced at!
Originally, once the two entered invisibility, the Six-armed Asura lost its sense of their targets. But Lena's Energy Orb could not turn invisible, and the Six-armed Asura spotted it!
So, the Six-armed Asura raised its gun without hesitation and pulled the trigger!
Another deafening boom rang out, but the bullet did not hit its target...
The moment the Six-armed Asura raised its gun, Wei Zitong sensed the arrival of Great Terror. He immediately used Negate: Distance on an unoccupied, ruined gun emplacement, narrowly evading the deadly bullet. Naturally, his energy instantly bottomed out again...
Lena immediately sensed the lack of energy in Wei Zitong's body and was about to replenish him with another Energy Orb when Wei Zitong raised a hand to stop her.
"It will notice it. I can't make the Energy Orb invisible!" Wei Zitong said in a low voice.
"Mm, it really is troublesome. Then let's do this..." Lena smiled dreamily, then wrapped her arms around Wei Zitong's neck and pressed her lips tightly against his. One small Energy Orb after another was pushed from her mouth into his with her tongue.
Wei Zitong's eyes widened like bells. Though the two were currently invisible, he still could not stop his whole body from heating up, his heart racing faster and faster in half-second beats...
Once she felt that Wei Zitong's energy had completely filled up, Lena stopped sending energy over. Yet her lips refused to part from his...
Wei Zitong suddenly snapped back to his senses and hurriedly pushed Lena away. That brief intimacy had nearly caused him to lose control of his emotions and reveal himself. If the Six-armed Asura discovered them once they became visible, all their efforts would be for nothing.
Lena still seemed reluctant to stop. She said softly, "What? Afraid that monster will discover us? I'd rather it discovered us so we could do that again!"
"Stop joking..." Wei Zitong panted, his cheeks burning hot.
"Who's joking with you?" Lena leaped out of Wei Zitong's arms, summoned the Sword of Dawn, and strode forward. As she walked, she declared with overwhelming confidence, "With this Goddess here, you don't need to fear that ugly black monster. Relax, this Goddess has got you covered!"
Then she added, "I wasn't prepared before. This time, you need to control that thing properly!"
Wei Zitong was speechless for a moment...
The Six-armed Asura seemed to sense the movement on their side as well. It turned around and raised its gun in their direction, but Wei Zitong spoke first. "You are not allowed to move!"
The Six-armed Asura froze for a moment. It discovered that it could not control its own body...
Lena threw back her head and laughed. Raising her shield in one hand and her sword in the other, she revealed herself, gleaming with dazzling Golden Light. Her entire body shone as brilliantly as a Goddess bathing in the sun!
She swung the Sword of Dawn and issued a divine, solemn command!
"Xiong Bing Lian—attack!"
