War Begins, Shrek-Tang Strikes First (Part 2)

"Rumble..." Several purple lasers shot forth, but instead of following arcing trajectories toward the ground, they slanted straight into the sky from Shrek City, only taking effect above the Federal Army. These lasers were also attacks from ninth-grade Soul Tools, meant to summon heavenly lightning.

The sky over this region suddenly filled with dark clouds, lightning flashing within them. Soon, bolts of thunder came crashing down—not just one, but several. This entire area seemed to have become a zone of heavenly punishment, dense bolts of lightning raining down with considerable force. Every strike was comparable to the sixth Soul Skill of an Assault Type Soul Douluo.

Such attacks might not mean much to a Titled Douluo, but they posed an enormous threat to lower-level Soul Masters, especially over such a vast range. The entire Federal Allied Army was covered, and the casualties that would result if they simply allowed the lightning to fall were easy to imagine.

The Federal Allied Army hurriedly activated its shield, forming a massive barrier that covered the entire army. The shield helped them withstand the bombardment of thunder.

However, this also brought trouble. Once the shield appeared, the Federal Army could no longer fire shells or use its various Soul Tools to intercept enemy attacks. This meant they could only remain on the defensive and allow the enemy to bombard them.

There was no other choice. If they did not activate the shield to intercept the rolling thunderbolts from the sky, they would inevitably suffer enormous casualties. That was unacceptable. Even if they did not want to activate it, they had no choice.

That had been Shrek City's intention all along—to force the Federal Army to activate its shield and abandon interception. Their heavenly lightning attacks would indeed be blocked, but far more Soul Tool
