Friendly Bloodletting Slot, Enemy Refueling Pack

Buzz...

Amidst the eerie tremors and resonance, the Golden-Blue Star Markings on the surface of the Colossal Titan on the sea began to frantically draw in nearby Aether Particles, and the light grew even more intense.

Furthermore, the magic power gathered around, like flowing water, surged through the "river channels" connected by divine runes, flowing like a thousand rivers into the sea towards the core in the center of the Bronze Giant's chest.

Accompanied by the rattling sound of machinery grinding inside the Colossal Titan's chest cavity, beams of light, used for focusing and aiming, formed one by one in front of him, constantly fine-tuning the focus, pointing towards the coastal wall.

Hiss!

Dozens of scarlet beams swept across again, their deadly trajectories causing waves to surge to both sides, creating torrents several meters high. Vast amounts of seawater evaporated with the waves, filling the air with a salty, fishy smell.

"Enemy attack! Prepare for the assault!"

Samael frowned and roared, then bent down and stomped forward, smashing the Medusa Shield down. The Golden Light Patterns of his Medusa's power immediately spread to the surrounding coastal walls, forming a sealed golden eggshell.

However, this time they were prepared in advance, and the crimson beams did not fire in unison as before. This seemingly powerful second wave of attacks only caused ripples on the expanded light shield, and the surging ether disappeared into it without a trace.

Having withstood over a hundred Magic Beam, the two deities behind them, their hands clasped tightly on their gauntlets, gradually felt the Medusa Shield burning and trembling, clearly nearing its limit.

You are not qualified to take over the civilizations of the Greek world!

The ancient snake raised its head and looked ahead, grinning maliciously.

"Anna!"

Medusa immediately understood. The two old partners exchanged a tacit glance, their eyes revealing a cold and solemn expression, and together they raised their shields to the front.

In an instant, the head of the Gorgon in the center of the shield opened its eyes wide, its wildly growing purplish-red snake hair hissing and spitting out its tongue. Pairs of snake-like vertical pupils flashed with a cold, sinister light, and thousands of purplish-red Sorcery Array of various sizes also formed on the surface of the golden light shield.

"Forced Sealing - Temple of Ten Thousand Demons!"

Medusa threw her head back and roared, her eyes wide with rage. Her rectangular, purplish-red pupils were deep and lifeless, and purple snake scales spread from her neck to her cheeks.

At the same time, tens of thousands of crimson Magic Beam traversed the sky. Wherever they passed, whether it was the Deep Sea Fleet or the Bronze Giant, once they were hit, grayish-white stone marks quickly spread. Even the hardest metals became as brittle as rocks that had been scorched and splashed with water.

Click... Click...

One after another, the sound of shattering echoed across the sea as one completely stone-carved black warship after another broke apart and sank into the sea.

As the Bronze Giant mechanically moved toward the shore, a metallic groan emanated from them. Their arms, legs, and even large parts of their bodies, marked with gray-white stone marks, disintegrated with a cracking sound, causing the entire Colossal Titan to plunge into the sea and create towering waves.

By God, it is done!

Orpheus gazed at the once-powerful Deep Sea Fleet and the Colossal Titan on the sea, now reduced to wreckage, having lost a full seventy percent of their strength. He couldn't help but clench his fist and wave it excitedly. His fiery and reverent gaze fell upon the two figures on the edge of the city wall, and he even wanted to grab his lyre and sing a song to celebrate.

At this moment, Samael Medusa, who had their backs to the believers, did not feel the ease of victory. On the contrary, their expressions were solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Laaa!"

At the same time, in the Stormy Sea Region, Seferu spread his arms and tilted his head back, uttering syllables like a song. After being swept by several beams of stone light, the faint grayish-white color on his body was instantly evaporated by the vapor, and the golden-blue light patterns spread rapidly forward to the sea surface, creating a strange resonance and exciting vibration.

Buzz buzz buzz!

In an instant, beams of golden-blue light with floating star patterns rose up from various parts of the sea ahead.

To the astonishment of everyone on the coastal wall, the shattered deep-sea warship, enveloped by golden-blue water, reassembled itself, its cracks gradually disappearing; the severed limbs of the Colossal Titan rose from the sea and reconnected with its main body; thousands of Area Annihilation Weapons, connected and dissolved, were incubated and regenerated from the sea surface within pillars of light. Once activated, they swarmed towards the opposite shore like bees, unleashing a low-altitude barrage.

For a time, Combat Nymphs, human heroes, city-state reinforcements, and Magecraft priests, protected by the coastal wall Medusa's shield, cooperated with each other to continuously shoot down the swarming creatures.

The melee lasted for a moment, and the observant and sharp-eyed Atalanta jumped off the back of the Colchian Dragon and landed behind Samael, whispering urgently.

"If I'm not mistaken, that monster is not only repairing its battle damage with seawater, but it's even hatching more combat units?"

Could it be that even the Colossal Titan in Atlantis came from this source?!

While keeping an eye on Seferu's movements, the ancient snake pursed its lips, nodded, and gave an affirmative answer in a low voice with a frown.

"I'm afraid so! In fact, not only does the land have mineral deposits, but the sea is also rich in a large amount of metallic elements. It seems that with the data template and weapon prototypes of Atlantis, Seferu can use the resources of the ocean to mass-produce things like Colossal Titan, deep-sea warships, and Area Annihilation Weapon. We're in big trouble!"

Bang bang bang bang!

Under the cover of Colossal Titan and Area Annihilation Weapon, dozens of black warships, like sharks smelling blood, broke through the sea area and crashed into the shore, their hatches wide open.

Instantly, humanoid combat units, whose bodies were covered in jet-black metal shells and were mass-produced, flashed with crimson light patterns and charged toward the breach in the coastal wall with extraordinary agility.

Seeing this, the Greek Heroes spontaneously rallied the reinforcements of various city-states to plug the breach and relieve the pressure on the two gods.

Samael, gradually realizing that Medusa's shield was becoming unsustainable, granted their request and removed a few sections of the less stable barrier, ordering them to hold their ground and await reinforcements.

Only when real close combat occurs will humanity suffer greatly.

These monsters were made entirely of a special metal, practically steel-boned, with formidable defense. Faced with these unprecedented creatures, the arrows and spears were at a loss for how to attack.

Often, mass-produced, low-quality humanoid combat weapons require a well-trained human soldier to expend nearly half of their magic power to barely defeat them.

The higher-ranking cyan-gold Atlantis soldiers could hold their own against the elite troops of various city-states in one-on-one combat.

As for the Combat Nymphs and Divine Blood Hero, they were entangled by the Olympus Guards, who were all golden and red in color, wielding cylindrical weapons, and almost equivalent to humans in the Golden Age.

These things, clad in powered armor and driven by divine runes on the outside, are not very effective even against weapons specifically designed to pierce armor, such as giant axes and heavy hammers. Only divinely crafted and refined items can produce a noticeable effect.

At a glance, the sheer number of monsters filled almost the entire sea. The Magecraft reinforcements who could cast spells from afar, or the human soldiers who could draw their crossbows, didn't even need to aim; they could simply close their eyes and throw the spells and easily blast a whole bunch of them away.

This scenario would be a nightmare for the defending army, which numbered only a few tens of thousands at most.

Moreover, the Greek city-states were known for producing heroes and favored elite troops. Their regular forces were limited. With such a disparity in numbers, even if the exchange ratio were one to two or one to three, the shallow waters and coastal areas alone would be enough to wipe out seven or eight out of ten of the soldiers.

If it weren't for the more threatening Colossal Titan legion being repeatedly delayed on the surface by Samael Medusa, the few people below wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth.

Seeing is believing, Seferu really taught him a good lesson.

Samael, whose understanding had been completely shattered, stared at Seferu in the Stormy Sea Region and cursed under his breath.

Damn it, what happened to the one-on-one fight?

This isn't a vanguard, it's a mobile Zerg hive that can endlessly produce units!

However, upon calming down and thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. As a cutting-edge weapon used by Planet Willpa to prey on the planetary civilizations, it would be far too inefficient to destroy various intelligent races by its own power.

Using alien heritage and existing resources to mass-produce autonomous weapons to assist in completing their mission is a conventional approach.

Poseidon went even further, gifting all of Atlantis's accumulated achievements over thousands of years to Seferu, allowing her to max out her army-building skills as soon as she was revived—no wonder she didn't use them.

Your Sea King, you still say you're not the mole?

It's like a bleeding tank for friendly forces and a fuel pack for the enemy!

As the close-quarters combat intensified, casualties were reported on both sides.

"Ta-da!"

Atalanta fired rapidly, piercing through the core of the Mana Furnace and sending fragments of metal flying out of the dozens of red and black soldiers who were circling around the gap.

At the same time, a soldier who had lost his shield was dragged out of the formation by a metal snake tail. Several black soldiers rushed at him, pinning down his limbs. The metal creature then opened its face, revealing a pitch-black interior.

Immediately afterwards, the light patterns on the leading soldier's body flickered, and his open face formed a golden-blue vortex that seemed to draw in the air.

In the horrific sucking, specks of light escaped from the mouths, noses, and orifices of the human soldiers, becoming nourishment for the monster, while their own bodies gradually became transparent and eventually shattered.

At this moment, beneath the Star-Seeded Soldier standing still in the Stormy Sea Region, dense light dust surged and rose, flowing into Seferu's body, making the star patterns on her body even clearer and brighter.

"Not only their ether, but their intellect has vanished too! Are we...?"

Medusa, observing the situation, was startled and told Samael, Prometheus, and others about her discovery.

However, as they were talking, the Mana Furnace within the bodies of hundreds of Colossal Titan began to spin rapidly, frantically breaking free from their suppression. The spears of light formed from strange runes in their hands were immediately swung out.

Boom boom boom boom!

Although Samael Medusa reacted in time, Medusa's Shield, which was already at its limit, cracked in several places amidst the dazzling bursts of light, and even the main body of the shield showed wispy cracks.

"The barrier has been breached. Wide-area search complete. Multiple artifacts confirmed. Execute annihilation order!"

Like a muffled rumble of thunder, it reverberated throughout the Colossal Titan's chest cavity.

In an instant, the nearshore waters surged, and a large number of creations from the Echidna Armory, including the Primal Hydra, Cerberus, and Naga Serpent Woman, along with even more humanoid combat weapons, emerged from the shallows, their eyes bloodshot as they frantically charged toward the breach.

The already exhausted human defenders, seeing the destructive army surging ashore again, felt a pang of despair in their eyes. They simply didn't have the energy or manpower to plug the other cracks in the coastal wall and could only watch helplessly as the enemy poured in and surrounded them.

Hiss!

At the critical moment, sharp, piercing sounds of air being torn apart rose and fell one after another. Divine patterned javelins, obscuring the sky and the sun, rained down like a meteor shower. The metal constructs that rushed into the breach in the city wall fell to the ground in an instant, as if a wheat field had been sliced by a farmer's sickle.

Immediately following, a series of perfectly synchronized footsteps, like muffled thunder, came from afar, accompanied by a deafening roar that chilled the heart. Amidst the billowing dust, a column of soldiers, wearing Corinth helmets and wielding bronze shields, with spears standing tall in their ranks, formed an intercepting arc and surrounded the enemy. Among them were muscular warriors exuding a fierce aura.

"No prisoners of war! No mercy!"

A pair of relatively slender twin siblings, wielding swords and shields, stood on either side, striking their shields with their swords while letting out chilling roars.

The soldiers skillfully stacked their bronze shields, thrusting spears through the gaps, and ruthlessly and resolutely advanced. After finishing off the metal structures in their path, they painstakingly picked out the hundreds of remaining survivors, sealing off most of the gap. They also spared men to move to the sides to replace their exhausted allies.

These flesh and blood bodies, like a turning millstone, crushed those metal creations that tried to break through the blockade into dust one by one.

It makes one even suspect that they are a group of monsters in human skin.

"It's Sparta reinforcements!"

The hastily assembled garrison from the surrounding city-states was overjoyed. Their muscles and bones seemed to have stopped aching, and their bodies felt as if magic was surging up again. They wielded their chipped weapons with all their might, cutting down the landing monsters one by one.

However, just as their morale was soaring, a dense array of Area Annihilation Weapon burst through the gap and flew into the air. Their massive cores gathered magical power and swept towards the crowd, sending flying limbs and severed bodies flying wherever the crimson beams passed.

"Athena above, with my shield, protect the city! With my sword, call forth victory!"

At the same time, dazzling figures, like shooting stars, streaked across the sky. Thousands of armored knights, riding celestial horses and Divine Construct, led by dozens of Saint Seiya warriors, cleaved a host of Area Annihilation Weapon into exploding fireballs.

Leading the group were none other than several Mount of Ares's Typhon's Offspring from Mount Ares, including the Chimera, the Sphinx, and the Nemean Lion.

These are the Pegasus Knights, carefully trained by Athens! Almost all of them have been drawn from their ranks!

Samael Medusa looked up to confirm, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, along the southeastern woodland, dust billowed up as Hydra, with nine giant snake heads resembling small mountains, tilted its head back and spewed venomous flames and frost, clearing out the surrounding foes over a large area.

The Serpent Mother, whose lower body was that of a snake and who had purple scales, gathered a dense array of Sorcery Array in front of her. Outside the city walls, amidst the rumbling, the terrain changed drastically, with swamps of poison, falling rocks, and ground spikes frequently emerging.

The Caucasus Eagle stirred up a fierce wind, its outstretched wings like sharp guillotines, swooping down and tearing, bursting into flames along its path.

Behind them, little Nymph with translucent wings flapped one after another, joining the procession carried by the Colchian Dragon and throwing their secret Magic Potion potions to their companions to restore their strength and ether.

Very well, the follow-up troops to the Arima's Cave have also been defeated!

The ancient serpent grew increasingly relaxed and turned to look at the sea to the east.

Waves surged diagonally towards them, and as the distance closed, thousands of bronze chariots, protected by a host of Ocean Nymphs, charged forward at breakneck speed.

Perseus, Telamon, Caenis, and a certain blue-haired woman with flowing skirts and a gentle, watery aura, stood atop a chariot, charging toward the stranded Deep Sea Fleet.

Furthermore, dozens of warships bearing signs of repair followed behind.

It's Thessaly chariot force and Trojan's warships! The woman next to Peleus, if I'm not mistaken, should be the Thetis, Goddess of the Sea.

If the Ocean Gods of Atlantis were to meet with misfortune, there would probably be very few sea deities in Greece with the same influence and power as her.

However, being able to urgently gather so many Ocean Nymphs is already an unexpected boon in terms of the situation.

"So, it's all settled?"

Samael watched as more and more elite reinforcements from various city-states gathered at the front lines, then turned to his old friend who was in charge of coordinating the situation.

Prometheus slowly opened his eyes, looked at the situation gradually being brought under control, and nodded in approval.

"In about two hours, the elderly and weak from the various city-states have been largely evacuated; more importantly, most of the troops we need to gather have been evacuated, and the rest are on their way through the spatial gate!"

"Phew! Finally, I can let loose!"

Samael let out a long breath, released Medusa's fingertips, and cracked his knuckles as he turned his head and neck.

Consuming spatial power to open a wide range of spatial gates is not simply about evacuating the elderly and weak from front to back.

The more important objective is to clear both sides, tighten the defensive line, and concentrate forces from the rear and flanks to the front line, construct a defensive line there, attract the attention of the Star-Seeded Soldier, and prevent these things from landing.

Now, the Star-Seeded Soldier and the monsters under their control will not be able to advance into densely populated areas, collect intellectual particles, or achieve sufficient evolution in the short term.

So now, after testing each other for so long, it's time for king to face king!

At this moment, with the severely damaged Medusa's Shield in Samael's hands being summoned, the golden light barrier disappeared, and the coastal wall was completely exposed to the Deep Sea Fleet's cannon fire.

However, before the ship's cannons and the Colossal Titan could charge up and fire, a deep, dark shadow swept across the sea, creating ripples that twisted and shattered nearby soldiers, sending them into the furnace for reconstruction.

"Laaa!"

The Star-Seeded Soldier in the Stormy Sea Region chanted in a high-pitched, peculiar rhythm, its halo of light suddenly blazing brightly. Its outstretched fingers extended into a hundred-meter-long giant sword formed by the convergence of seven-colored light pillars, which swept down across the sky towards the invading area.

"Boom!"

A dazzling burst of light and flames erupted as a black figure, enveloped in Magic Beam, surged upwards against the current!
