Chapter 270: Fighting Alone
The massive biochemical beasts, skeleton armies, elemental creatures and steel constructs that had been ready for action were like a flood that broke through a dam.
They let out deafening roars and rushed towards the deep and dark circular passage.
They are pathfinders thrown into the unknown world and cannon fodder that depletes the enemy's strength.
Seeing that most of the cannon fodder and wizards had already gone in, Benjamin took a deep breath and no longer hesitated.
He rode two tall black giants, followed closely behind the vanguard torrent, and plunged into the space gate that seemed to be able to swallow all light.
The crossing process was much more difficult than expected.
Dionysius Spencer had already told him that there seemed to be some kind of powerful seal or suppression field on the other side, preventing the space gate from fully opening.
He needs to control the power of the floating city to continue fighting and expand the channel, but in the early stages, the first person to cross may encounter some "minor troubles".
Benjamin soon found out what the so-called "little troubles" were.
The moment he stepped into the passage, Benjamin felt a strong sense of stickiness coming from all directions, as if he was walking in glue.
The surroundings were not filled with the dazzling brilliance of ordinary space passages, but were instead filled with chaotic darkness and distorted energy turbulence.
These turbulent currents, mixed with broken space fragments and alien energy, constantly impact the traversers in the space gate.
Bang!
laugh……
Dense energy turbulence hit the huge body of the black giant, making all kinds of strange noises.
However, after more than thirty years of fighting, the Black Giant's body-building method has continued to evolve adaptively, making it extremely resistant to space distortion damage related to the wind element.
As long as those energy shocks do not exceed a certain critical threshold, they will be absorbed and transformed by the black giant's special body structure and become insignificant supplies.
Benjamin stood firmly on the black giant's shoulder, with a faint shield covering his body, blocking the sporadic attacks that slipped through his net.
Like a reef in a rapid current, he, under the protection of the black giant, moved forward unwaveringly towards the darkness at the other end of the passage.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe just a moment, or maybe it was a long and painful time, the resistance ahead suddenly lightened!
"arrive!"
Jeming was cheered up and controlled the black giant to accelerate suddenly, breaking through the last layer of space barrier.
However, the moment his feet set foot on the alien land, even with Benjamin's calmness, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The expected scene of brutal fighting between the vanguard army and the indigenous creatures did not occur.
What came into view was an incomparably grand yet eerily silent grand scene - an extremely huge altar, surrounded by densely packed humanoid creatures that resembled a combination of mantises and lizards, extending all the way to the skyline!
They seemed to be in a period of silence as part of some collective ritual, with countless pairs of eyes focused on the uninvited guest who had just "broken in" with astonishment, confusion, and rapidly rising hostility.
He himself, along with the two black giants, suddenly became the only alien focus in this silent ocean.
Benjamin reacted immediately. Because he and the black giant had acquired strong resistance to spatial forces through body-building techniques, they were least affected inside the space gate.
Although he was one of the last people to enter the space gate, he was actually the first to cross the teleportation path.
The huge vanguard army seemed to be still struggling in the narrow and unstable space channel, unable to keep up in time.
Even though Benjamin was strong-willed, facing the scene where hundreds of millions of people were watching and it was obvious that they were enemies, not friends, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
The "declaration" that was subconsciously uttered out of excitement at the moment of crossing just now seemed particularly abrupt at this moment.
"This... is going to be fun." He felt helpless.
"Looking at it from a positive perspective, does this mean that my spatial force resistance ranks first among the entire expeditionary force?"
While trying to comfort himself by finding joy in misery, Benjamin was also quickly looking for a way out of the predicament.
His eyes quickly swept across the entire venue, finally settling on the four eye-of-the-storm clouds above the altar that exuded a terrifying pressure.
"These creatures in front of us are easy to deal with. The real threat is probably those four..."
His mind raced, and Benjamin didn't hesitate at all.
While maintaining his composure on the surface, he even deliberately made the blue flames in the black giant's eyes burn more vigorously to show his strength.
While quietly connecting to the magic network terminal through mental power, a set of extremely strong spatial coordinate signals was sent out like a beacon!
This signal will guide the wizard army that is still struggling to move forward in the passage, allowing them to speed up and rush towards the breakthrough point that has just been "prised open".
Facing the enemy alone, all he needs to do is to defend this bridgehead, even if it is only for a moment.
…
…
The thirty-meter-tall black giants stand like two pitch-black iron towers on the altar of another world, bringing an unparalleled visual impact.
Hundreds of millions of holy servants below looked up at the behemoth, whispering in a mixture of amazement and fear.
Even the holy spirits who usually look high and mighty have solemn expressions at this moment.
From these two silent black giants, they felt a sense of oppression far beyond their own level. It was a kind of power and pressure that was almost... god-level!
As for Jemin who stood on the shoulders of the black giant?
His relatively "small" body and "weak" energy fluctuations were seen by the priests and holy spirits as nothing more than an insignificant vassal of a powerful creature, perhaps even some kind of "parasite", and were simply ignored.
The essence of the wizard's path is to leverage power with knowledge, and its inherent terror is often difficult to detect when faced for the first time.
Of course, most creatures and civilizations will not have the chance to face it a second time.
"A new world! It must be a new world!" After the initial shock, a Holy Spirit's eyes burst with burning greed.
Although the black giant is powerful, he seems to be inferior to the four holy gods in the sky that are like the embodiment of the world's will.
How rich must the resources be for a world that can produce such creatures?!
Many holy spirits at the peak level are very active in thinking. If they can kill or even capture these two giant beasts, they may be able to find an opportunity to break through to the god level from them!
As holy spirits that have risen through countless battles, they have their own pride.
He firmly believed that even if the enemy was stronger, he could still deal with it with his skills, numbers, and... the four gods standing in the sky.
"Suffer! Wail! Repent! Because of your mistakes, your world will be conquered by us!" An impatient Holy Spirit laughed wildly.
The bone blade on the arm shot out, and the power of wind wrapped around it and turned into a ten-meter giant blade.
The figure turned into a stream of green light, crossed a distance of a thousand meters, and slashed at one of the black giants with an indomitable momentum!
Then……
Snap!
Just like casually slapping an annoying flying insect to death, the black giant's huge palm arrived at a speed that was completely inconsistent with its size, and accurately fanned the green light.
The exploding blood mist and bone fragments were like tiny fireworks.
Jieming scratched his ears and muttered softly, "It's babble, I don't understand... Damn! Are you so brave?!"
He really couldn't understand where a guy with an obviously lower energy level got the courage to launch such a suicidal charge.
"However, if the opponents are all such reckless people, it will be more troublesome to defend..." Benjamin frowned slightly.
Looking at the group of humanoid monsters below with an average height of five meters, he was worried that their crazy attack without regard for casualties would affect the stability of the space gate.
Fortunately, the facts did not develop as he imagined.
The other Holy Spirits' faces changed when they saw this. They didn't expect that the famous Holy Spirit couldn't even withstand a single blow from the black monster.
Several Holy Spirits exchanged glances and immediately understood each other's intentions: "Attack together!"
They all ejected their bone blades and attacked the two black giants in tacit understanding.
Seeing more than a dozen monsters attacking him simultaneously, Jieming thought for a moment and conveyed an order to the two black giants under his feet through the soul contract:
"Keep your hands off them, fight them, and try to delay as much time as possible!"
The black giants roared angrily, and then pretended to fight with these insects.
At the same time, high in the sky, the thoughts of the four holy gods were rapidly communicating.
"At that moment just now... I thought 'that person' had woken up!" A wave of divine thought containing fear came.
"Calm down! Their life structures are completely different. They are not from 'that world'. 'That person' cannot be revived." Another relatively calm divine thought soothed.
"Could it be that the space gate has mutated due to being closed for a long time and connected to an unknown area?" The third divine thought made a guess.
"No matter what, the unfamiliar is dangerous." The last divine thought was filled with determination. "Eliminate them, strengthen the seal, and ensure that everything is safe. We are already at the top, there is no need to take any risks."
A brief exchange led to consensus.
Then, a calm yet majestic voice, like a divine decree, resounded in the depths of the souls of all the Holy Spirits and Holy Servants:
"Kill him."
Just three simple words, but it was like lighting a powder keg!
"Oracle! It's an oracle!"
"For the Holy Spirit!"
Billions of saints were instantly in an uproar, their fanatical faith overwhelming their fear of the black giant.
The eyes of the dozen or so Holy Spirits who were originally observing cautiously were instantly filled with determination and murderous intent!
The oracle has been given and there is no room for doubt!
"Let's go together!"
More than a dozen powerful auras burst out, the power of wind surrounded them like a real vortex, and the bone blades flashed with deadly cold light.
The Holy Spirits unleashed their trump cards, and from different angles, with exquisite coordination, they surrounded the two black giants like a dragnet!
This time, they held nothing back.
However, their offensive has not yet fully begun...
Buzz...
A strange buzzing sound was heard, and thousands of crystal symbols appeared behind Jemin, who was standing on the black giant's shoulder.
They are stacked layer upon layer, forming a huge, complex, slowly rotating brilliant wheel of light - the "Great Light Phase"!
The next moment, it was like a galaxy bursting its banks!
Indescribably dense energy light bullets gushed out from the "Great Light Phase", each one accurately locking onto a charging Holy Spirit!
"No!!!"
"What's this?!"
Under the horrified gazes of the Holy Spirits, their proud wind shields shattered like paper, their concentrated attacks were instantly disintegrated, and their bodies were torn apart and evaporated in the dazzling and deadly light streams...
With just one volley, more than a dozen powerful holy spirits were reduced to ashes!
At this moment, all the holy servants, including the four holy gods in the sky, fixed their eyes on Benjamin.
They finally realized that the "little guy" they had ignored was the truly terrifying existence!
But the oracle is like a mountain!
Driven by fanatical faith, the army of holy servants, like a boundless ocean, let out an earth-shaking roar.
Like a torrent bursting through a dam, they fearlessly launched an all-out charge towards the center of the altar, towards Jemin and the two black giants!
Facing the impact of this huge crowd of hundreds of millions, the casualness on Benjamin's face disappeared, replaced by absolute calmness.
The "great light" behind him shone brighter and brighter, preparing for this tough battle.
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Because, behind him, the huge circular space gate once again emitted violent and stable fluctuations.
An aura like a torrent of steel is surging out from it!
The wizard's army has arrived.
