Natural Disaster 049

At this moment, the contemptuous illusions of the Grantian regarding the Gamma Rank were finally shattered.

"Even the most powerful human is just Carbon-Based Life; there's nothing that overwhelming firepower can't solve!"

This statement is predicated on the premise that a major power with sufficient firepower is qualified to say it.

The Bermudes soldiers of Sisron fought bravely against the Duchy's garrison, their hearts filled with unwavering faith. But when Archduke Gamos descended amidst the roaring thunderclouds, they lost all will to fight. People cried out and fled in panic, and the officers had to coordinate order, ensuring everyone took their supplies and retreated in an orderly fashion.

The Alpha team, still clearing out enemies in the Surut Palace, hadn't even recovered when they were immediately trampled underfoot, utterly Power of Resistance.

They didn't do it entirely out of fear, but rather because no mortal would be foolish enough to use their body to withstand a tsunami.

Heaven and earth were connected, thunder roared, and a towering body, as tall as a castle, was entangled with all sorts of strange ghosts and evil spirits. The green wolf skin cloak was whipped up by the storm, like an eerie glow in the endless night.

Archduke Gamos slowly lowered his three giant hands, and the placenta with its umbilical cord attached smashed to the ground like a meteor hammer. His white robes were mournful, and the snail tentacles on his head slowly turned. His four eerie blue demonic eyes reflected the collapsing army and the ruined city. The long night brought snow and sand, and a thunder dragon on the horizon instantly tore through the sky, illuminating his demonic figure and the creeping monsters at his feet.

The shaman stands amidst natural disasters, commanding the thunder and ghosts of nature.

The heavens and earth howled, the wind whispered, bringing a sharp lament that sent chills down one's spine, made one's scalp tingle as if pricked by needles, and made it difficult to control one's emotions, making it hard not to think of an absurd idea:

This planet is crying.

She was unable to sustain beings beyond the ecosystem. Her enormous size and incredibly sturdy structure made gravity seem like a joke. The spiritual energy flowing in from all directions seemed to be converging into an endless funnel, which could never be satisfied no matter what.

Boom! The Grand Duke instantly swung the umbilical cord, and the swaying placenta slammed down heavily, shaking the earth. A deep ravine immediately swallowed countless fugitives into it. The modern forest of reinforced concrete was like a joke under his force.

In desperation, people raised their Rocket Launcher and aimed their 122mm Howitzer at the Grand Duke, hoping to kill him with a light rain of bullets and sparks—but as the flames propelled the warheads toward Archduke Gamos, they flew past as lightly as if passing through a curtain of water, creating a ripple.

Boom boom boom boom—

The long barrage of bullets pierced through the Grand Duke's chest and spine, tracer bullets intertwined and danced in mid-air, but they could not bring the bloodshed and death they so eagerly anticipated. The cannon fire was like a million gongs and drums playing in unison, the metal sizzling and sparks flying, and bursts of flame blooming in the air, as if these were not weapons of killing, but fireworks to celebrate the New Year festival.

Never before had the soldiers so thirsted for killing and power; they poured out their firepower in desperation, but to no avail.

Archduke Gamos stands among mortals, enjoying the steel symphony of humankind.

"This is the true Gamma Rank."

Gravity lifted the rubble and debris, the flame in Li Aoz's left hand went out, he caught Alexia, and together they jumped out. Facing the nearly 40-meter-tall Grand Duke, the two of them looked like ants.

The planets in the universe are incredibly diverse, but they all seem to experience crisis and fear when faced with an overly powerful individual.

Gamma Rank beings are merely the most numerous and central force in the universe, but for the Azure Planet, they are already considered catastrophic.

This is still a Gamma Rank being in its prime, already old and frail, its brain chronically oxygen-deprived and lacking energy. Perhaps large-scale, high-density bombardment and ballistic missiles could indeed defeat it, but for the underdeveloped agricultural country of the Grant Duchy, it is no exaggeration to say, "—Grand Archduke Gamos is a god on earth."

"Deities?"

Alexia clasped her fists together and said in a deep voice, "The gods of the past should give way to the newborn humans."

Li Aoz tilted his head and said, "I think so too."

The next moment, the two suddenly sprang into action.

Gravitational Acceleration —150G!

Clad in armor and in his Overlord Form, all his Aoneng was integrated, and with the added 50% movement speed boost, Li Aoz's actual speed instantly surpassed 6 times the speed of sound. A dazzling red shadow tore through the sky, piercing Gamos's head like a longsword.

"Duh——!"

The Grand Duke's figure swayed, and the flames dispelled and frightened away the ghosts on his body. His huge body displayed a flexibility that seriously violated the laws of physics, as if it had no weight. He immediately dodged Li Aoz's attack and fled into the spirit world.

Traditionally, people have always believed that the stronger a creature is, the slower it is and the more clumsy it is.

But they forgot one thing: for superhumans, what is powerful is not just strength, but output power.

Strength and speed are always complementary; without great strength, there can be no explosive acceleration.

Gamos's katana form has four eyes, each of which can rotate independently, giving it a field of vision similar to a third-person perspective.

Missing its first attack, Li Aoz's body was immediately exposed to the Grand Duke's capture. All six arms flapped and grabbed simultaneously, each strike reaching the speed of a cruise missile. Moreover, they were immune to heat decoys, relentlessly pursuing Li Aoz's figure in front of the human brain, the most excellent perception computer. At the same time, the Grand Duke even released a dense wave of evil spirits, which swept across the sky and flew towards Li Aoz like locusts.

Archduke Gamos remained silent, Li Aoz knew he was serious.

Compared to Nethermark Professor's arrogant words, who seemed like a newly crowned clown, Archduke Gamos was a skeleton trapped on the throne, decaying and rotting, yet still a king.

He possessed his own lofty dreams and authority, was always aware of his own strengths and weaknesses, and understood the principle that even a lion needs to exert its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

Most superhumans in the [mysterious] category are like this: stubborn and arrogant, but also cowardly and sensitive in their inner psychology. This stems from their obsessive and mysterious Worldview. From the beginning, they have believed in the idea that the mind is superior to things and that consciousness is singular. This makes their definition of monarchs and kings more inclined to be an expectation of 'divine selection'.

From the very beginning, Li Aoz and Alexia were under the pressure of the Grand Duke's all-out attack. Li Aoz had no time to waste; just dodging the Grand Duke's attacks had exhausted all his energy.

But the Grand Duke is different. The other party can freely enter the spirit world. Even if he can prohibit the other party from replenishing their life by devouring spirits, he still cannot kill the other party.

Professional players value the [Strange] type's exceptional survivability—if you can't kill a [Strange] type superhuman in one go, it's as if you haven't done any damage. The powerful control and excellent margin for error make it perfect for the needs of professional players.

For Li Aoz, the reason he dared to face a powerful figure like Archduke Gamos was because he had enough confidence to inflict an unbearable amount of damage on the Grand Duke.
