Chapter 411: Huge Beast Wreaking Havoc
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
A dark shadow covered up the sky and the Great Wall University’s energy s.h.i.+eld was forcibly compressed and deformed. It caved inward and a humongous shadow forcibly squeezed its way in.
The ma.s.sive figure floated over everyone’s head, appearing as if it wanted to crush everything before its eyes. Layers of shadows shrouded everyone’s hearts and they were unable to summon any will to resist.
This monster was 10,000 zhang in size, like a huge island. Its entire body was forged from metal and emitted strong ferocity. It was also extremely hideous, like a huge tentacle monster that had over 10,000 tentacles. Each of the tentacles was thick like huge pillars, agile like snakes, and waved about in the air.
The moment something got close, they would be crushed no matter how st.u.r.dy they were
The mechanical giant had over 1,000 huge eyes that shot countless beams of red rays out, attacking both friend and foe.
The red beams were as thick as rainbows, shooting out incessantly. They were densely-packed and came plunging down like rain, not sparing even the spirit mechanical beasts. The spirit mechanical beasts were instantly penetrated and exploded. The scattered remains were grabbed by the many tentacles and brought into the monster’s stomach. It started chewing.
Those interstellar warriors were insignificant like ants before this huge spirit monster, and great casualties were suffered.
Their bodies of flesh and blood were roasted into chars by the red beams and slapped into meat dregs by the tentacles’ lashes. Even the micro-mechas they were wearing were smashed, thrown into the big mouth that was like a black hole, and engulfed cleanly. Nothing was left behind.
The mechanical tentacles kept sending out many energy waves, electromagnetic waves, nuclear explosions, and gravitational fields… Wherever the mechanical monster pa.s.sed by, the university’s energy fields were completely thrown into disarray. The energies of the micro-mechas, small-scaled s.p.a.ce shuttles, and many machinery weapons—all were thrown into disarray from the disturbances. All of them exploded in s.p.a.ce.
Without the micro-mechas, humans’ carbon-based bodies were unable to survive for long in outer s.p.a.ce. Many people weren’t killed by the tentacles but had died from suffocation in outer s.p.a.ce or frozen into ice.
Under the metal tentacles’ crazy las.h.i.+ngs, the humans’ stringent formation was thrown into disarray. The interstellar warriors were forced to back off repeatedly.
With this humongous mechanical beast entering the battlefield, it was as if a huge Kun had entered a small pond. With just a casual turn of its body, it would crush many fishes. Its big mouth kept engulfing non-stop and nothing was left behind.
Both spirit mechanical beasts and human warriors fled in all directions, no longer caring about the battle. If they were slow in escaping, they would instantly land into the huge beast’s mouth and were engulfed, with not even dregs left behind.
The huge spirit mechanical monster had completely dominated the entire battlefield single-handedly, conquering the starry sky and suppressing everything.
Ferocious mechanical armies scattered and the stringent human formation broke down. They were like a collapsed mountain, unable to put up any resistance.
Facing this huge spirit monster, everyone wore astonished expressions. What kind of terrifying monster did the spirit race let out?!
The huge spirit monster came cras.h.i.+ng over, smas.h.i.+ng toward the Great Wall University. It used its ma.s.sive metal body, wanting to crumble the Great Wall University’s fortress.
The ma.s.sive black shadow came pressing down from a great height and was unstoppable.
Seeing that the Great Wall University’s fortress was about to be knocked down, everyone inside and outside the Great Wall University gasped and the situation was in great chaos.
If the fortress really were to be knocked, even if it wouldn’t collapse, as long as it received damage, the energy s.h.i.+eld that fended off the invasion from countless spirits would be greatly affected. Its intensity would plunge greatly.
When that time came, the Great Wall University’s defense would probably undergo a series of chain reactions and completely give way. One would be able to imagine the outcome for the interstellar humans then. It would be extremely tragic.
“That huge spirit monster is about to come colliding. What should we do?”
“Is there no one else who can stop it?”
“Let’s run!”
…
The black shadow came pressing down and some people with weaker minds fell into a great panic.
Looking at the huge black shadow crus.h.i.+ng toward them caused their heart and soul to collapse.
Was it impossible to fend off?!
At a corner of the battlefield, Feng Lin looked solemnly at the huge spirit monster wreaking havoc. His countenance was extremely grim.
From the moment this huge spirit monster appeared, he sensed that things weren’t right. He had the feeling that there was an impending disaster and he instinctively fled. It was only because of this that he managed to dodge the fierce prowess of the huge monster and wasn’t implicated.
The defeated troops were like a collapsed mountain.
Humanity’s front line was instantly shattered. Feng Lin’s heart uncontrollably sank to the very bottom when he saw the fleeing figures.
Intense auras of despair permeated the battlefield. Everyone within and outside of the Great Wall University was shaken up, unable to summon any will to put up resistance at all.
“It seems that it’s our turn!” A group of big shots at the top of the Great Wall University’s fortress looked at the huge spirit monster. They looked at each other, releasing majestic auras that were like the deep abyss and a tall mountain.
One Marshall couldn’t help but let out a deep bellow, feeling strong killing intent rising within him.
As Marshalls, not only did they lead their own military unit, but their battle prowess was also considered to be the greatest amongst the interstellar humans. They were the core pillars that humanity had against the extraterrestrial races.
A few of the Marshalls had their eyes filled with cold killing intent and seemed as if they were about to make a move.
“Hold on!” The Interstellar Warfare Marshall who stood at the very front spoke up and organized their attacks. “This huge spirit monster will need some time if it wants to completely crush our line of defense. We can wait a little longer. We may be able to help these interstellar warriors and the Great Wall University for now, but we won’t be able to help them forever! In the end, things will have to fall on these youngsters. The more desperate the situation is, the greater the potential true geniuses tend to be able to erupt. This will bring out the real elites. Let’s wait a bit until the very last moment. It won’t be too late for us to make a move after we see that things really can’t work out.”
The big shots nodded upon hearing this. Although this was too dangerous to the interstellar cultivators on the battlefield, some sacrifice was needed to ensure humanity’s future.
This was the universe’s dark laws of the jungle. A true genius was better than 100 mediocre characters. A life or death battle between races was never decided by the number of people on the lowest rung, but by true experts.
The appearance of a top-notch cultivator who could suppress the universe was stronger than an entire army!
This was what the interstellar humans really needed.
Things mustn’t be allowed to go on like this. They must gather everyone’s powers to have a chance of winning!
The atmosphere of despair permeated the sky, but Feng Lin’s mind started to move quickly. He was unwilling to accept defeat like this and kept trying to think of a plan.
He looked at the many faces that had turned numb from horror and frowned. If he wished to turn the tables around, he’d have to awaken these people’s will.
An idea popped up in Feng Lin’s mind.
He used mental transmissions to communicate with them and a voice that came from the bottom of his heart instantly resonated in the hearts of all interstellar humans on all corners of the battlefield.
A shout that rose from what seemed to be dead silence was like the light from dawn that cut across the darkness, illuminating the path before them. It awakened hope, and everyone couldn’t help but listen to it.
The voice was powerful and filled with unshakable determination. It was like a shout amidst raging waves, causing everyone to calm down.
“All interstellar warriors, Great Wall University’s students, and comrades of mankind. Please listen to me! We can’t and mustn’t retreat! Before us is the Great Wall University, the first line of defense for mankind. There’s nowhere for us to back off to! This monster might be terrifying, but we must not let it get close to our Great Wall University. Once the Great Wall University collapsed, humanity’s line of defense will break down completely. If the spirit race were to invade into our universe, our comrades who are still very weak won’t be able to retaliate and would be ma.s.sacred. We have our brothers, our friends, and our family there… These are precious things that we aren’t willing to lose even if we have to sacrifice our lives. Every interstellar cultivator has risen up by using a tremendous amount of cultivating resources available to mankind. The greater our capabilities were, the stronger would our responsibilities be! Now is the time where our race’s survival is being threatened, so it’s time for us to step forward in return to what the human race had given to us. Since ancient times, the Great Wall University has been protecting the Milky Way and protecting mankind. I’d like to implore everyone to not feel afraid and to remember…”
“It’s my race, I’ll protect it!”
