The intense heat distorted the air, and hot waves rose above the fortress. On the open ground in front of it, the stone paving had been turned into lava by the heat, while dark-red magma poured down from the city walls.
This was Apollo's might. Apollo had yet to undergo its third modification, but after obtaining the Alchemy Codex, Su Xiao had even more confidence in the third-modification Apollo.
Su Xiao had been waiting during the assault team's first wave of attacks—waiting for them to withdraw and the alien army to gather together, so the explosion would kill more of them.

All aliens had a high reduction to fire damage, reaching as much as 67%. However, Apollo dealt true burn damage. Against true damage, fire damage reduction was equivalent to nothing.
"Cough, cough~"
