Gu Li Ji Encounters a Wave of God-Level Demon Gods; Guizhong Fires the Guizhong Machine and Wipes Them Out; Tang San's Pupils Contract
This attack is enough to wipe the entire Gu Li Ji off the map!
The hearts of all the viewers were in their throats.
However, Guizhong showed no fear whatsoever.
She abruptly waved her hand and gave the order.
"Activate -- Guizhong Machine!"
With her command, countless intricate and mysterious Golden Patterns suddenly lit up the entire land of Gu Li Ji. These patterns spread and intertwined at an astonishing speed, eventually converging on dozens of uniquely shaped giant ballistae on the city wall.
Those ballistae have a simple yet intricate design, full of the beauty of ingenious creation.
"What is that?!"
At the Shrek Academy, He Caitou's eyes were wide open, staring intently at the giant crossbows. As a Rank 9 Soul Master, he could sense the terrifying energy contained within those Mechanical Creation, but the way that energy operated was completely beyond his comprehension.
"It's not Soul Tool! Its energy core isn't Milk Bottle!" He Caitou shouted excitedly.
Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Xiao Xiao, and the others were also stunned.
"It seems to have the name of the Dust God engraved on it." Tang Ya keenly noticed the detail.
Buzz--!
Dozens of Guizhong Machine activated simultaneously, emitting a deafening roar. Instead of firing physical arrows, they condensed energy orbs, gleaming with intelligent light, at the front of the crossbows.
That light was pure and vast, as if it contained the most fundamental truths of the universe.
"Put!"
Guizhong issued another order.
The next second, dozens of beams of light shot into the sky, converging in mid-air into an even thicker and more dazzling pillar of light, heading against the dark energy meteorite and flowing upwards!
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
The moment the beam of light made contact with the energy meteorite, the dark energy sphere, capable of destroying everything, was rapidly dissolved and purified, as if it had encountered its nemesis, and finally vanished into nothingness.
The golden beam of wisdom, undiminished in its momentum, pierced through the attacking Demon God with unimaginable speed!
"Roar--!"
A scream so piercing it seemed inhuman echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The mountain-like Demon God's body, starting from the center pierced by the pillar of light, developed countless golden cracks. Then, to everyone's horrified gaze, it disintegrated with a deafening roar, turning into countless scattered specks of light.
One strike!
Just one strike!
An ancient Demon God, comparable to First-level Deities, was annihilated, body and soul!
The entire Douluo World fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone gaped, their minds blank, unable to process the information before them.
"Instant... instant kill?" Huo Yuhao's voice was extremely dry, and even his Spiritual Eye felt a stinging pain from the light of that attack.
"This... how is this possible!" The Dragon God roared in disbelief, his massive body trembling. He remembered the Dragon God War he had waged, and the countless powerful Dragon Clan who had perished. If... if only the Dragon Clan had possessed such a weapon back then...
Niu Tian and Tai Tan, Da Ming and Er Ming, were equally dumbfounded, their shock beyond measure.
"My lord..." They could sense the Dragon God's excitement and resentment.
Zhou Weiqing stared at the Guizhong Machine, his eyes gleaming with admiration. "What a domineering weapon! Its power is even stronger than Full Power Attack from my Hateful Earth Ringless Set!"
Zi and Ye Yinzhu exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes. This weapon had transcended the realm of mere power; it contained some kind of "Laws" or "concept" that they could not comprehend.
Tang Wulin clenched his fists tightly, feeling Gu Yuena's body stiffen again due to extreme shock.
He looked at the image on the screen, at the Dust God who had single-handedly reversed the course of the battle.
She is not only a source of wisdom and gentleness.
Her wisdom can also be transformed into the sharpest sword, annihilating all invading enemies!
Gu Yuena's lips moved slightly as she watched the countless Divine Radiance spots dissipate across the sky, and the dozens of Guizhong Machine that were slowly cooling down, yet still exuding supreme majesty.
Her voice was so soft that only she and Tang Wulin beside her could hear it.
"So... protection requires this kind of power..."
Tang Wulin's answer was like a warm ray of light, shining into Gu Yuena's heart, which Ice Seal for ten thousand years.
"I do."
Three words, spoken without the slightest hesitation, earnest and without a trace of impurity.
Gu Yuena's body trembled violently, and her purple eyes, which were shimmering with moisture, momentarily lost focus.
It's been ten thousand years.
She had been waiting for these words, or rather, the Soul Beast Clan had been waiting for these words for far too long.
So long that even hope became a luxury, a source of the most painful torment in the dead of night.
If it were him...
If it were ten thousand years ago, it would be him standing before the Dragon God...
Would everything be different then?
The ice in her heart seemed to crack a tiny fissure, and the suffocating sorrow seemed to find an outlet.
However, before this warmth could spread, the scene on the Light Screen in the Sky Vault suddenly changed.
[Scene transition]
The warm and welcoming Gu Li Ji has vanished, replaced by a gloomy sky, the earth groaning in agony, and deafening roars and sounds of battle echoing from afar.
War has broken out.
Countless grotesque Demon God's Minions surged like a tidal wave against Gu Li Ji's defenses. In the center of the battlefield, a Demon God, a thousand meters tall, its body seemingly forged from Obsidian, emanated a chillingly savage aura.
"This is... war?"
"Such terrifying energy fluctuations! Each one... possesses power comparable to First-level Deities!"
The God of Destruction, representing the God Realm Committee, wore a solemn expression. The Goddess of Life clenched her hands tightly, worried about the creatures depicted in the scene.
God King Tang San's brows furrowed tightly. He could sense that this was not a simple war, but a war of annihilation that gambled on the survival of his race and civilization.
"That direction leads to Gu Li Ji!" Huo Yuhao blurted out.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and their gazes were fixed on the land shrouded in war.
Just then, a golden light shone on the city wall of Gu Li Ji.
The giant ballista that Gui Guizhong had once used for testing now fully revealed its ferocity. Countless intricate runes flowed across its surface, gathering terrifying amounts of rock Elemental Power.
[And standing behind the ballista, personally controlling this war machine, was none other than the gentle Dust Demon God — Guizhong.]
She was no longer the scholar holding books, smiling sweetly.
The smile vanished from her face, replaced by a resolute determination. She poured her Divine Power into Guizhong Machine without reservation, her long golden hair flying in the gale, making her resemble a true goddess of war.
"It's her!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed.
"Isn't she... a civil Gods who studies Mechanism Art and agriculture?" Tian Hen found it hard to believe.
"No one can stand aside in the face of war." Ye Yinzhu's voice was low, as if he could see his own shadow when he fought for Qincheng.
