Chapter 1833 One Against A Realm. I
1833 One Against A Realm. I
"Devour them. Let none stand in your path."
At his call, those t.i.tanic beings charged forward at the largest gathering of troops, each creature emitting a low, rumbling growl that resounded in the chest of every soldier present,sowing seeds of fear even among the battle-hardened troops.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The dark creatures moved faster than their immense size suggested possible, appearing almost instantly at the front lines!
"BLOOCK THEM!"
Dankin bellowed as he watched the initial rows of soldiers getting swept away, crushed underfoot, or torn apart by the relentless claws of Apollo"s minions.
Panic spread as quickly as the dark creatures advanced, breaking the formation of even the most disciplined troops!
On the ground, Chronowalkers activated their temporal fields, attempting to slow the behemoths. Even if they wanted to freeze time, they knew it would consume way too much energy for mere seconds at best.
Thus, it was much better to slow them down, helping the rest of the troops to regroup and focus their fire.
BOOM! BOOM! Thud!...
Laser beams, energy projectiles, vibrational blasts, and many other powerful attacks sliced through the air, each burst of light a desperate attempt to hold back the dark tide.
While his army seemed to be overwhelming the troops even through their barrage of attacks, Apollo was still not satisfied.
With a sweeping gesture, the towering abominations at the forefront of the chaos abruptly started to have countless insect-like creatures breaking off their skin.
Those little creatures swarmed outward in a horrific flood of darkness, heading towards the nearest troops their eyes landed on!
"Let darkness consume their hearts."
Propelled by his sinister command, the swarm of dark insects surged forward with alarming speed.
The soldiers found themselves much better at dealing with the larger abomination than those tiny insect-like monstrosities.
They tried to kill them off, they tried to swat them away, but their hands pa.s.sed through the creatures as though they were made of smoke and shadow!
The worst part? Those creatures darted towards any exposed skin they could find, phasing through armor and clothing with ease!
Upon contact, they began to burrow into their hosts, disappearing beneath the skin where they unleashed a horrifying transformation.
"Arghhhh!! They are burrowing through my ears!!"
"HELP MEEE! GET THEM OUT!!"
"PROTECT YOURSELF WITH BARRIERS!"
Screams of terror and pain cut through the battlefield as soldiers fell, clutching themselves as the dark energy began to invade their bodies.
In less than a few seconds, anyone unfortunate enough to be fully overtaken stood back up with eyes glowing a sinister red.
Without an ounce of hesitation, they turned against their comrades, now puppets controlled by the very darkness they had been fighting against!
"SHOW NO MERCY! KILL ANYONE POSESSED!"
"FOCUS YOUR ATTACKS ON THE LINK! CUT IT OFF QUICKLY!"
Generals and commanders quickly shouted merciless orders, knowing that there was no time to waste on saving those overtaken.
They were tight on time and had to sever the connection with the rift as soon as possible to move into the next phase of their plan.
Thus, even when the troops were fighting against ma.s.sive abominations, standardized dark armies, and little parasitic devils, most were forced to ignore them and continue putting fire at the link.
"Those pesky vermins."
This didn"t please Apollo one bit as he could see that the speed of his dark creatures reproducing was slower than their aggressive bombardment on the link.
They kept chipping off it at a consistent rate, reducing its size from tens of kilometers to a mere kilometer.
It was like cutting off a rope with a small dull knife. It might only cut it thread by thread, but the final result was the same.
A complete snap!
This was what ended up happening after Quantix Prime, Xylos, Timeon, Lumina, and the rest of the leaders combined their strongest attacks at what remained of the rope!
A singular powerful attack managed to slice it up, separating two sides of the dark army. Knowing that it wasn"t time for celebration, Qauntix Prime and the rest immediately kicked off the second phase of the plan.
"Now!" Quantix Prime shouted, causing thousands of Planktons to emerge out of nowhere around Apollo and his severed main bulk of the dark army!
Without an ounce of hesitation, they united their spatial control and manifested a ma.s.sive cubic dimensional pocket around Apollo!
Since they knew it was near impossible to kidnap him alone or create a smaller one to imprison him in time, they had to go for the third-best option.
Create a dimensional pocket big enough that he wouldn"t be able to escape from in time before its completion.
However, Apollo didn"t bother moving at all. He watched as the ma.s.sive cubic prison locked down its transparent walls on him and his army, his expression cold and unreadable.
The moment the dimensional pocket was finalized, The Planktons" leader ordered his troops to teleport it to their prepared destination!
In the blink of an eye, Apollo and his ma.s.sive army disappeared out of sight, leaving the rest of the dark creatures to keep stemming from the rift.
"Annihilate the spilling dark creatures from the rift!" Quantix Prime ordered the responsible squad for this task and then glanced at the Planktons" leader.
With a single nod, Quantix Prime, the other leaders, and the bulk of the army were teleported inside of the dimensional pocket, joining Apollo.
When they saw how the dark beings started to die off on their own, their eyes gleamed with delight and hope, realizing that their plan was working as antic.i.p.ated.
"King of Darkness, this is your grave." Quantix Prime uttered coldly as he brought out his Horn of Harmonies.
Xylos, Lumina, and the rest of the leaders brought out their own customized weapons too, gearing for the battle of eon, the battle for their realm!
Yet, even when he was in this f*cked-up position, Apollo"s expression remained indifferent.
"You think you had me cornered? Do you think I am incapable without my army?" A cruel grin emerged on Apollo"s lips, "It seems like my previous visits haven"t put you in a real despair yet."
Without waiting for their reaction, he raisedhis hands high, summoning the remnants of his scattered forces back to him.
The dark beings merged into a ma.s.sive wave of shadow that flowed toward their master!
The allied leaders watched in horror as the dark forms converged around Apollo, their bodies melding into one another until they molded a towering monstrosity!
It resembled him greatly, a humanoid ent.i.ty with flowing shadowy hair and thin crimson eyes, staring down into the nation leaders and their armies.
Meanwhile, Apollo stepped forward into the creature"s head, allowing his own form to dissolve into shadow and merge with its form.
His consciousness spread throughout the colossal body, controlling it as an extension of his own will.
One shouldn"t forget that Apollo was a unigin at heart. In other words, his most terrifying aspect wasn"t just the shadowy creatures, but also his manipulation of light and darkness!
Now, from within this shadowy t.i.tan, he could channel his powers more potently than ever, each tide of his hand was now capable of unleas.h.i.+ng catastrophic techniques!
He didn"t hesitate to show them what he was truly capable of.
