The time around Shi Jin slowed down. She could see the launch trajectory of the city defense shells, the moment when the suicide bombers exploded, and the spikes approaching Yan Ming on the battlefield in the distance.
Yan Ming had extremely rich combat experience. Even in Shi Jin's slow-motion perspective, he could see that the opponent's body was rapidly crystallizing, generating some blood-red translucent crystals to defend against attacks from the front.
Shi Jin didn't know whether such defense could block the penetrating damage, but she still decided to attack with all her strength.
You can never gamble on this kind of thing. You can't just sit on the sidelines just because the other party looks confident.
Her figure leaped down from the city wall, stepping on the bodies of the strange beasts, some alive or dead, some complete or incomplete, to complete one jump after another.
The distance of hundreds of meters was reduced to only a few steps in the blink of an eye. As Shi Jin approached, the flow of time in this battlefield became slower and slower.
She grabbed one of Yan Ming's arms and pulled him out of the overwhelming and intensive attack.
The next moment, the flow of time returned to normal.
Hundreds of long spikes pierced through the place where Yan Ming was originally standing with a sound of breaking through the air. These spikes were aimed at every vital point on his body, and even collided and collapsed with each other.
Even so, the remaining spikes still carried a huge potential energy, harvesting the lives of the alien beasts that were approaching for support.
Unfortunately, the lives of these strange beasts are destined to be ignored. Humans regard them as enemies and only feel happy about the death of their enemies. The strange beasts that control the armadillos think that they are superior to these low-level strange beasts and are blood relatives of Clotho, so they naturally look down on them.
Under such dense rain of arrows, the strange beasts fell down in rows like wheat in the field.
Shi Jin pulled Yan Ming aside and witnessed it all.
She didn't think of a good way to solve the problem, but at least... she could make use of this strange beast that ignored its friendly forces.
Yan Ming seemed to have discovered this problem as well. The two of them looked at each other and began to act separately, attracting the firepower of the strange beast.
After learning of their plan, Luke on the top of the city wall flew high into the sky and began to mark areas where the monsters were more densely populated for them.
A dull sound of breaking air could be heard from time to time, and Shi Jin's plan began to show results.
But the armadillo was not stupid. Although it did not care about the death of its own kind, it understood the sinister intentions of the two humans.
After confirming that the two humans had no way to kill it, the armadillo chose to ignore their actions. It only left a part of its spikes chasing and shooting at the two, while the rest of its launch ports began to quietly accumulate power, and the spikes inside began to gather more and more.
When Jin realized that his plan had been discovered, the black spikes had already swept towards the city wall like a rainstorm.
This was an unprecedented "rainstorm". Everyone who realized this chose to stop it in an instant, and this "moment" was particularly long for Shi Jin.
According to the trajectory of the parabola, if this attack hit the city wall, at least a hundred soldiers would be injured or even killed.
Shi Jin had been busy all night before joining this battle, and he only managed to save a hundred people. All his accumulated "merits" were destroyed by this blow.
So she chose to expand her territory to the fullest and slow down the trajectory of those spikes as much as possible.
But this is actually of no use. Slowing down the flow of time is a very subjective thing for Shi Jin. Even if she delays the time from launch to impact to one year, those soldiers who are destined to be shot will not know.
What's more, according to her, the time left for her was only one minute.
Shi Jin knew that if anyone could save those soldiers and warriors, it would be himself.
Just as she was about to block as many of the spikes that were bound to hit her as possible, something suddenly turned at the edge of her vision.
Shi Jin was startled and looked in that direction, and then she made eye contact with the armadillo monster.
How is that possible?
How can it operate within its own domain?
At this moment, Shi Jin had a clearer understanding of the strength comparison between the two sides.
It's not that she hasn't tested the strength of her abilities. Against super-powered people whose energy levels are obviously higher than hers, her abilities will indeed be weakened to a certain extent. But just now, the eyes of the strange beast clearly completed a rotation, without any delay, and very quickly.
The fact that the spikes that had already separated from the strange beasts were not affected in this regard might be rare good news, but Shi Jin was already feeling numb all over.
Because she saw that the strange beast's eyes were swelling in an abnormal way, and soon formed a collection of compound eyes like a fly. Countless of her figures were formed on those translucent compound eyes, and her every move was captured by the organ that was a collection of countless eyes.
The next moment, the strange beast attacked Shi Jin.
In Shi Jin's territory, the strange beast's movements were inevitably greatly slowed down, but even so it was still quite threatening to Shi Jin.
But Shi Jin cannot stop the expansion of the domain. Once he does so, hundreds of people will die in the next instant.
She was stuck in the middle between the two sides, and it seemed that no matter what she did, it would be wrong and would end in tragedy.
What's even more sad is that even if she maintained the domain until the last moment, those people were destined to die, as if all efforts were meaningless.
At this moment, Shi Jin no longer wanted to think so much. She just hoped that time would flow a little slower and her ability would last a little longer...
More than just standing still, she has to go one step further to save everyone here!
---
After his ability was enhanced last time, Luke also gained a stronger perception, so he knew at this time that Shi Jin had used his ability, but from his perspective it was only a matter of seconds.
Looking at the spikes flying all over the sky, Luke subconsciously looked back.
Not only the soldiers will be killed by this attack, but also the citizens in the city who are in a good position.
After six or seven million people from the outer city evacuated to the inner city, the congestion in the inner city had reached an incredible level. It seemed that a random stone thrown would bounce off the heads of seven or eight people.
Under such an attack, Luke himself would not be in any danger of life. His soft light shield had been unfolded to its maximum, but it was still not enough compared to the rain of arrows and could not protect many people at all.
what to do?
The same question lingered in Luke's mind.
As a super-powered person with two abilities at the same time, Luke found that he could not do more at this moment.
Although his father's abilities were not what he truly possessed, Luke did not look down on his father because of this. Instead, he respected him even more.
If my father were here, he would definitely try his best. If it were him, he would risk his life even if one person was in danger!
Luke also wants to be that kind of person, to be the strongest shield that can protect mankind.
At this moment, he saw the flash of lightning, and also saw his body being soaked in the soft light bit by bit.
