It's less than an hour before Abyss Dark Tide arrives at Mars Orbit.
Scarface stood in front of the holographic projection in the main control room. His scarred face looked particularly grim under the reflection of the faint blue screen. His mechanical left arm was constantly calibrating the parameters of the air defense array, but if you look carefully, you will find that the mechanical hand made of the most advanced alloy is trembling slightly.
"Scarface boss."
An adjutant, covered in bandages, came over with a dry voice.
"The charging of the first to fifth arrays has been completed. But... the morale of the brothers is very low."
The adjutant swallowed and turned to look out the window at the soldiers squatting in the trenches with empty eyes.
"Everyone is watching the broadcast on the Star Network...Pluto and Neptune were gone within ten minutes. Not even the scum was left. Can we really deal with that kind of thing with the junk in our hands?"
Scarface was silent for a long time.
He took out a crumpled cigar from his pocket and held it in his mouth, but did not light it. Because strict oxygen control was implemented in Mars's defensive position, not even a trace of extra Mars was allowed to appear.
"Shattered metal?"
Scarface sneered, turned around, and stared at the adjutant with his one remaining eye.
"Back in Consortium's gladiatorial arena, we didn't even have any scrap metal, we only had sharpened bones in our hands. How could we survive differently?"
"But this time it's different!"
The adjutant's mood suddenly collapsed. He lowered his voice and roared, "Consortium is at least still a human being and a living thing! Those monsters... that black sea is not here to fight at all, it is here to 'erase'! The souls of those swallowed by it no longer exist! We are going against the laws of the universe!"
"Pah!"
A crisp slap sounded in the main control room.
The adjutant was beaten so hard that he turned his head away, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Scarface took back his hand, his eyes colder than the freezing temperature outside.
"Listen."
Scarface said word by word.
"If the law of the universe is to obliterate us, then we will smash this bullshit law together. Why do you think we are standing here? To win?"
Scarface stretched out his mechanical finger and pointed at the position of the earth on the star map.
"We are standing here to delay time. As long as the Origin Barrier is built, millions of people on the earth will be able to live. We, the lonely ghosts who have died in the major Sandbox Universes long ago, have picked up this life. Now, it is time to use it to pay the bill."
The adjutant gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and tears mixed with blood flowed down. He stood up suddenly and saluted an extremely standard military salute.
"Yes! Sir! Fight to the death!"
At this moment, the piercing highest-level air defense siren sounded shrilly over the entire Mars Defense Line without warning.
"Woo--Woo--Woo--"
The red warning light illuminates the entire Mount Olympus like the legendary Avici Hell.
"Coming."
Scarface spit out the cigar in his mouth and strode to the window.
Through the special radiation-proof glass, everyone raised their heads and looked at the deep space of the universe that should have been pitch black and dotted with starlight.
Now, the starlight has disappeared.
Instead, there was an endless black curtain. It was like a sore that was expanding infinitely, pressing towards Mars at a speed that defied common sense in physics.
In front of it, Mars is as small as a red glass marble that can be crushed at any time.
That kind of pure "nothing" and pure "dead silence", without even contact, has made many soldiers on the defense line feel suffocated. Some magicians with weak mental power even started to have nosebleeds and held their heads in pain.
"This is Dimensional Reduction Strike... we are meaningless in front of it..."
In the trench, a soldier threw away the high-frequency concussion gun in his hand, fell to his knees on the ground in despair, and held his head in his hands.
Panic spread like a plague among the 100,000-strong army.
Just when this despair is about to reach its peak, some people are even ready to commit suicide by detonating a miniature nuclear bomb in their bodies.
"Boom!"
There was a loud sound that shook the sky.
Mars The thin atmosphere was suddenly torn apart by a dazzling golden light!
What kind of light is that?
It is not dazzling, but it carries a kind of weight and majesty that makes people want to worship it. It is like the first ray of dawn at the beginning of the universe, arrogantly penetrating the haze brought by Black Tide, and falling straight to the top of Mount Olympus.
"Boom!"
The entire territory of Mars seemed to jump violently with this impact.
The red dust in the sky was forcibly pressed down by a huge invisible force Gravitational Field.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on the center of the huge crater on the top of the mountain.
There, standing a man.
His upper body was naked, and his perfect muscle lines were covered with complex and mysterious dark golden divine patterns. There were no whites or pupils in his eyes, only two slowly rotating deep nebulae.
In his hand, he held a simple, heavy, giant ax that exuded the Chaos aura.
He was standing there, but he seemed to be taller than the Mount Olympus under his feet and vaster than the starry sky above his head.
"Lin... Master Lin Feng?"
In the trench, the soldier kneeling in despair stared blankly at the figure on the top of the mountain. His trembling body suddenly miraculously calmed down.
Scarface was in the main control room, looking at the energy index sent back by the detector on the screen.
Where the numbers were supposed to be, now only two symbols "∞" representing infinity are displayed.
"What kind of monster... has he turned into?" Scarface muttered to himself.
Lin Feng stood on the top of the mountain, Gale blowing his black hair.
His sight passed over the hundred thousand troops and was directly fixed on the black tide in space that was approaching. He could hear the bewitching whispers coming from Abyss, the ridicule about destruction and nothingness.
But he doesn't care anymore.
After reaching "Demigod Transformation", Lin Feng's emotions were greatly separated. His current way of thinking is getting closer and closer to the essence of the universe - absolute reason and absolute purity.
But he knew that he had to do something to awaken the fighting spirit of these mortals below him.
Because the construction of Origin Barrier requires not only physical coordinates, but also the strong "will to survive" of the creatures as the glue for resonance.
Lin Feng slowly raised Giant Chaos Axe in his hand.
The ax blade points straight to the sky.
His voice, without passing through any amplification equipment, directly rang in the minds of every living being on Mars:
"Laozi is Lin Feng."
"Abyss wants you to die."
"But Laozi wants you to live."
"Pick up your weapons. Today, Laozi will take you to cut down the sky!"
Simple, crude, and without gorgeous rhetoric, it was like a shot in the arm, piercing the heart of a hundred thousand troops.
"Roar!!!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
One hundred thousand soldiers who were originally in despair, were infected by Demigod Class Origin Law, and burst into earth-shattering roars. They picked up their weapons again and pointed their muzzles at the sky.
Countdown, two hours.
Mars Defense Line, officially versus Abyss.
The sky is no longer the sky, but a black deep sea hanging upside down.
"Fire!!!"
With the roar of Scarface, the whole Mount Olympus Defense Line boiled instantly.
One hundred thousand planet-level rail guns roared at the same time. The dazzling beams, high-energy plasma balls, and the forbidden light beams condensed by the magic array converged into a brilliant countercurrent Silver River, slamming into the oppressive black tide.
This is a mortal charge against a cosmic natural disaster.
However, a desperate scene happened.
The terrifying firepower that is enough to tear apart an interstellar battleship, the moment it comes into contact with Abyss Black Tide, is like a mud cow entering the sea, without causing even a trace of waves.
There was no explosion, no fire.
All energy and matter, the moment they touch the ultimate "negative entropy" interface, are quietly assimilated and decomposed, becoming part of nothingness.
"How could this happen..."
A gunner operating a heavy rail gun stared blankly at the data on the screen, "The energy feedback is zero. Our attack doesn't even count as tickling it."
Black Tide seemed to be disdainful of this meager resistance. It accelerated its downward pressure, like a huge lid that was slowly closing, trying to trap the entire Mars in the darkness.
At this moment, the surface of Black Tide began to surge violently.
Huge bulges formed on the black water. Immediately afterwards, those bulges broke, and countless strange "projections" emerged from them.
Some are the Starfield Great Beast skeleton as huge as a mountain, some are the wreckage of the once glorious interstellar fleet, and some are actually the ghosts of the dead relatives and comrades of the soldiers on the Mars position.
"Mom..."
A young soldier looked at the phantom of a woman with a distorted face made of black water in the sky, and the gun in his hand lowered involuntarily.
"Don't look! That's the psychological projection of Abyss! It's reading our fears and regrets!"
Scarface's voice shouted through the military channel, but it was already too late.
Abyss's attacks are never limited to the physical level. This kind of despair that directly affects the soul is more deadly than any artillery fire.
The firepower network on the defense line began to show visible attenuation. More and more soldiers fell into a sluggish state, and some even began to stretch out their hands toward the sky, as if they wanted to embrace those phantoms.
On the verge of total collapse.
"Buzz--"
A long, ancient low cry that seemed to span eternity came from the top of Mount Olympus.
Lin Feng moved.
He did not rush out like a cannonball as usual. In the Demigod Transformation state, his understanding of power has completely changed. He does not need to move, because within the scope covered by his law, he is the space itself.
"False."
Lin Feng moved his lips slightly and spit out two words.
The Heavy Chaos Axe in his hand did not hit the sky, but cut the air in front of him horizontally in an extremely slow and heavy manner.
"Trick--"
A dark golden thread that is only as thick as a hair but stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers, with Mars as the center, suddenly expanding outward in a ring!
This golden thread seems weak, but when it sweeps across the illusions condensed by black water in the space, all the illusions are like the first snow exposed by Blazing Sun. They instantly let out a shrill scream and then disappeared into ashes.
"Origin Law--Domain of True Sight."
Not only that, the golden thread continued to expand outwards, and finally cut hard on the Black Tide body that was pressing on top.
"Boom!!!"
This time, it's no longer a silent devouring.
The dark golden Power of Origin and the pure black Power of the Abyss had the most violent repulsive reaction in the universe. At the junction where the two collided, space crazily shattered and reorganized like inferior glass, erupting with a dazzling light even more dazzling than a supernova explosion.
Mars's night sky was instantly illuminated ten thousand times brighter than at noon.
"Block... blocked!"
In the trench, the soldiers who regained consciousness were trembling with excitement. They saw that the falling momentum of the arrogant Black Tide was actually supported by the extremely thin golden wire.
"What are you doing standing still! Keep firing!"
Scarface seized the opportunity and roared loudly, "Although our attack cannot destroy Black Tide, it can detonate the energy balance on the surface of Black Tide! Relieve the pressure on Lin Feng!"
"Kill!!!"
The net of fire was intertwined again. This time, the soldiers no longer had any fear. All they could see was the dark golden figure standing on the top of the mountain.
Lin Feng stood on the top of the mountain, maintaining the legal boundaries cut by the ax blade.
His expression was Ancient Well, and the nebulae in his eyes were rotating rapidly.
In the eyes of outsiders, he easily blocked the pace of Abyss. But only he himself knew what kind of pressure he was under at this moment.
From a divine perspective, what he saw was not a sea, but a world weighing billions of tons that was crushing his backbone crazily. The Pangu's Essence Blood in his body was boiling and roaring, and every cell was overloaded, repairing the body that had been counterattacked by the breath of Abyss.
"Not enough..."
Lin Feng silently counted the time in his heart.
Less than twenty minutes have passed. There are still a full hundred minutes until Origin Barrier can be empowered.
Black Tide, which was blocked by the golden line in the sky, began to change its strategy after a brief stagnation. It no longer pressed down forcefully, but like a self-aware mollusk, it began to spread to both sides along the edge of the golden line, trying to wrap up the entire Mars.
"Want to make dumplings?"
Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of violence in the nebula.
Although Demigod Transformation made him absolutely rational, the arrogance engraved in his bones in Pangu Bloodline still cannot be challenged.
Lin Feng slowly raised his left hand, spread his fingers, and pointed at the red land beneath his feet.
"Abyss, since you like to devour."
"Then Laozi will make a stomach for you today so that you can eat enough!"
Lin Feng's body's fusion degree was forcibly pushed up by him at this moment.
He is preparing to use the ultimate forbidden technique he just learned in the medical cabin. This is not only fighting against Abyss, but also asking for an endless price from this planet.
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
The moment Lin Feng aimed his left hand at the ground, everyone on Mars Defense Line felt a heart-stopping tremor from the ground beneath their feet.
This tremor is not the violent shaking of an earthquake, but a very regular pulsation, as if the planet has a heartbeat.
"Warning! An abnormal transition in Mars earth's core energy has been detected!"
"The gravitational constant is changing!"
"The magnetic field is completely disrupted!"
In the main control room of Scarface, all the dashboards were alarming like crazy, and the red indicator lights were flashing in a dazzling way.
"What is he going to do?"
Scarface stared at Lin Feng on the top of the mountain through the glass.
Lin Feng didn't answer anyone's questions. The power in his body had climbed to an extremely terrifying critical point.
On the system panel, rows of dazzling blood-red fonts are being refreshed crazily:
[Warning! The host is forcibly extracting the source of the planet!]
[This move will cause irreversible structural damage to the target planet!]
[Warning! Demigod Transformation's state is extremely unstable, and his mental power is facing Higher-Dimensional erosion!]
"Shut up."
