Chapter 2173: Miss Xi, Do You Need Help?
“The Elder Things have such a lethal weapon that they haven’t used yet? Why didn’t she use it previously?”
Mag sat on the griffin as he looked at the giant mushroom cloud that rose up afar. The vibrations on the ground made the ice sheets hundreds of kilometers away shake violently too.
Mag felt that such an explosion was indeed compatible with that mushroom cloud.
This was the second battles.h.i.+p that suddenly appeared today. At that moment, he deemed it to be the Elder Things’ reinforcement that Xi invited to help.
Moreover, this powerful reinforcement had even brought along an Elder Things’ lethal weapon to take out Cthulhu directly.
Speaking of it, the Elder Things might have been around since ancient times and they developed as a whole unit. They developed their technology and had advanced weapons like battles.h.i.+ps.
He could look forward to them killing Cthulhu, who had been sealed since the ancient times, if they b.u.mped into it again.
Mag knew very well that even he would be vaporized right on the spot if he was in the center of such an explosion.
“Ah Zi, go there at full speed!”
Mag patted his old pal.
He wanted to go see that explosion’s aftermath for himself. It would be very important news no matter if Cthulhu was killed or seriously injured.
As for the Elder Things, he was going to maintain a respectful and distant att.i.tude.
They didn’t have a real common interest, so they weren’t completely trustworthy.

“Oh cr*p!”
Vicki’s sunk heart. She hit Cthulhu three times with her gun, but the one to two meter wounds couldn’t even penetrate it before they were repaired in a blink of an eye.
This humongous fellow had no weaknesses at all.
Vicki felt desperate over this helplessness.
She suddenly regretted coming over here so carelessly.
“I haven’t tasted an Elder Thing for a long time. Thinking about it, you are indeed the tastiest.” A low and piercing voice sounded and Cthulhu pounced towards Vicki.
“Activate the self-destruction program.”
Vicki grasped the joystick tightly with both hands and glared at Cthulhu that was pouncing towards her.
She felt a little apologetic to her troupe members.
She had just given them some hope, but she couldn’t return to them anymore.
A bright red countdown timer jumped on the screen and the alarm turned shrill.
Vicki holstered her gun and grasped the red scimitar with both hands.
She was going to die standing up. This was her family’s motto.
Cthulhu’s gigantic body casted a shadow of death. Coldness engulfed her body and she seemed to have seen the glare of the self-explosion s.h.i.+ning over the ice sheets.
What a pity. No one else was able to appreciate such a beautiful scene.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Right then, two missiles flew over, landed on Cthulhu, and exploded.
Cthulhu’s body that was only half repaired, had a big chunk blasted out again. The huge shockwave even sent its huge body a few hundred meters backwards.
“This is?!”
Vicki’s eyes lit up and instinctively stopped the self-destruction program.
It was the familiar Thunderbolt armor-piercing projectiles.
It was the standard ammunition of the Elder Things’ battles.h.i.+ps.
Vicki dropped to the ground and protected the position of her heart as she withstood the shockwave of the explosion.
She looked up and saw the gray battles.h.i.+p that gradually appeared in the sky.
“I’ll cover you. Evacuate now!”
The mech connected with the battles.h.i.+p successfully and a cold voice spoke up in the headset.
“Be careful of that frost dragon!” Vicki looked at the frost dragon that was das.h.i.+ng towards the gray battles.h.i.+p and said nervously.
She was ambushed by that frost dragon earlier and that damaged her battles.h.i.+p.
Although she didn’t know who was saving her, they were all going to die here if this battles.h.i.+p was damaged too.
The gray battles.h.i.+p accelerated and dashed downwards, before pulling up again in the forward left.
The frost dragon’s claws swiped across the side of the battles.h.i.+p and frost quickly formed on the battles.h.i.+p’s surface. It narrowly missed severely damaging the battles.h.i.+p.
“Beautiful!”
Vicki marveled inwardly. If she could make that maneuver, she most probably wouldn’t have been smacked down from the sky earlier.
However, this wasn’t the time for her to watch a good show. She pressed on the ground with the mechanical arms and the mech bounced up. She ran towards the battles.h.i.+p at full speed with the thrusters spitting out blue flames behind her. Her speed was elevated to the maximum.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Cthulhu, who was struck back, let out an angry roar. It chased after the mech as it repaired itself.
Although the gray battles.h.i.+p successfully evaded the frost dragon’s attack by diving and pulling up, it also missed the chance to retrieve the mech.
The frost dragon changed its direction and dived towards Vicki again. It spread its wings and countless icicles formed in midair. Then, they dropped towards the battles.h.i.+p like a rain of icicles.
The gray battles.h.i.+p’s close-in weapon system launched and bullets rained out. The icicles broke and an area in front was cleared instantly.
The battles.h.i.+p advanced instead of retreating. It locked onto the frost dragon and hit it with the close-combat weapon system crazily.
The bullets formed a red line of fire in the air. Even though the frost dragon evaded them deftly and had the a.s.sistance of the Frost Domain, obvious wounds soon appeared on its body. Dragon scales were flying everywhere and blood splashed in the sky.
Meanwhile, the frost dragon attempted to close in on the gray battles.h.i.+p despite the close-combat weapon system’s bullets, and the battles.h.i.+p evaded it with its smooth flying techniques.
However, the icicles that exploded close by still managed to leave big and small craters on the battles.h.i.+p.
Mag saw this exciting scene just as he arrived.
The gray battles.h.i.+p was having a crazy, dangerous dogfight with the frost dragon in midair.
On the ground, a black mech was running crazily. The flames that shot out from its thrusters allowed it to travel at a 100 meter wide stride, which left an obvious streak on the ice surface.
Behind the mech was Cthulhu, whose lower half was blasted apart, flapping its wings and following after the mech slowly.
Further away, there was a giant crater that was a few thousands meters across on the ice sheets. All kinds of shattered battles.h.i.+p remnants were scattered around it.
“What’s going on now?” Mag’s eyelids twitched a few times. This wasn’t what he had imagined.
Judging from that gigantic crater, the previous explosion was scarier than what he had imagined.
After all, beyond Chaos City previously, even 100 plus, 10th-tier powerhouses combined didn’t reduce Cthulhu’s head to such a sorry state.
However, was this Elder Thing’s method of combat so simple and primitive that she sacrificed her battles.h.i.+p to deal with Cthulhu?
But, it was a pity that even such a powerful explosion had failed to kill Cthulhu.
Furthermore, judging from its body that continued to repair itself, such an injury was still within its self healing range.
This was perhaps why their forebears could only seal it after paying a huge price for it back then.
It was this way tens of thousands of years ago and it was still the same now.
“Miss Xi, do you need help?” Mag took out his walkie-talkie and dialed Xi’s channel.
The mech that was running hysterically on the ground was already covered by Cthulhu’s shadow.
The five meters tall mech was no different to an ant when it faced a gigantic creature that was over a few thousand meters tall.
