In his eyes, the Mechanicus had lost this battle.
The army surged forward, but the Iron Beast Army ceased its charge and instead withdrew its forces.
On the main battlefield, those dozen or so second-stage officers had long been crippled by Ed.
Only the Pope can control Ed, and control the morale and overall situation of the entire battlefield.
However, this battle itself was a multi-front war.
"I see. I was just wondering why a Iron Beast Master suddenly appeared on Battlefield No. 3. It was strange and alarming. Their goal was to lure His Holiness the Pope out and then win on the side battlefield."
"Sigh... I don't know if we'll win or lose this battle..."
Hua Shanlong frowned.
The adjutants around him remained silent.
The fierce battle has officially begun!
The forbidden area has been completely sealed off.
The Pope's power is gradually increasing. If he does not seal off the forbidden area, the overflowing spiritual energy will spread indiscriminately, affecting both friend and foe.
In that case, the mechanical army would definitely not be able to withstand the Pope's oppressive aura.
Once the forbidden area is sealed off, the situation inside can no longer be seen.
The only sound that could be heard was a rumbling noise, which proved that the two people inside were still fighting.
...
I don't know how much time has passed!
Inside the forbidden area, Ed frowned in deep thought.
He has been fighting the Pope for thousands of rounds.
Why haven't we received any telegrams from the Zero clones yet?
This is not normal!
They have the excuse of brain-computer communication, and the zero clones on the battlefield are all officers in charge of an army.
If he receives a telegram from the flank, he will be notified immediately.
What happened?
Based on Ed's understanding of the Pope's characteristics, he was unable to sever the communication between the brain-computer interfaces, whether in the 'Forbidden Zone' or the 'Withered Zone'.
It couldn't be because of the Pope.
Ed looked up and continued his death struggle with the old man in front of him.
The forces of both sides crushed each other, shattering each other's psychic energy.
"What are you hiding! Why haven't we received any telegrams from the flanks yet!" Ed exclaimed angrily, questioning the Pope.
Only then did a faint smile appear on the old man's face.
But he still offered no explanation.
Upon seeing this, Ed felt utterly disheartened.
Something's happened...something's happened on the flank!
He immediately contacted the officers on the ground: "What's going on? Have you received the telegram from the flank?"
rustling sound—
"Reporting to the main control unit, we have not yet received any telegrams from the flanks!"
Ed's expression changed, and he looked at the Pope again: "What kind of ambush did you set up!"
At this moment, the Pope spoke calmly: "You are Unit Zero, aren't you? I have heard that before your company actively buried the organization, it selected ten extraordinary individuals as future investments. They used cloning technology to create many powerful machines, but I am not sure if you are the original unit."
Ed snorted coldly.
"The old man knows quite a lot."
The Pope said, "After all, we have been fighting for almost a century."
Ed snorted coldly: "Tell me what exactly happened on the flank?"
"Hehehe... If the Iron Beast Army is going to lose, you will lose too. I won't tell you anything, because once you know, your company headquarters will also know. You have a mainframe that connects you to each other and gives you all the information you need."
"You have to die here."
The Pope's expression gradually calmed down, and he spread his arms wide.
moment!
In this black and white world, the forbidden zone begins to compress inwards!
Ed looked around in a panic, a sense of fear rising in his heart.
impossible……
On the flank, he deployed fifty superior clones of Unit-00, all of whom were second-stage superhumans, perfectly replicating him.
There's no way we can lose!
Did they still have something up their sleeve?
How could the Mechanicus summon so many Stage 2 Transcendent beings in such a short time?!
Ed's vision went black.
He was pondering this question until the very last second...
...
It was located dozens of kilometers away from the southern end of the river, on the front lines of the battle.
Bypassing towering mountains and steep ridges, the Northwest Mountains are breathtakingly beautiful and magnificent.
On the scorched earth, countless corpses lay piled up, still smoking and crackling with electricity.
The power armor looked like it was completely destroyed.
The Papacy's soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, each with a complex expression on their face.
Sometimes, they would look up and gaze into the distance.
A figure stood in the sky.
He casually strolled across the battlefield, holding the head of a Zero clone, a second-stage superhuman, in one hand.
This person was extremely young, appearing to be no more than twenty years old.
But the papal priests present couldn't help but tremble when they saw him.
They all witnessed what just happened.
Since that person left the arena, tens of thousands of blade arrays and terrifying spiritual pressure have swept across everything.
He was like a tornado!
The power armor was as fragile as tofu in front of his blade array.
Because his blades were imbued with concentrated spiritual pressure, even the hardest steel could not stop his slaughter.
"The war is over."
"Hmm, fifty extraordinary beings... dying in the blink of an eye, this is almost beyond my imagination."
"I have fought for thirty years and have never seen such a powerful force."
"Gentlemen, the battle on the main battlefield has already been decided, and we have lost several officers."
"Fortunately, it's blocked the way here!"
Everyone looked up, and an officer who had just arrived from the main battlefield asked, "Who is that man...?"
"The Lord of Leopard Court, regent of Lingbi, unified the desert, the Garden of the Gods, and the Northern Plains..."
"Don't let his youth fool you, he's almost 90 years old, old enough to be your grandfather."
"Holy crap? A 90-year-old Master? And he's so powerful?!"
"A 90-year-old Master? No, he became a Master before he was 30. He rules over Lingbi and is a prince worshipped by all. Now his influence extends deep into the northern ice plains. I heard that they have dug up a lot of good things in the ruins. It was this prince who personally led the people to explore them."
The officers gasped in shock.
"What's he doing here? I didn't hear..."
"Yes, the Vatican officially joined forces with the Leopard Court a few days ago. Just before the battle started, the Pope personally went to see him."
"The scorched earth you see here was not caused by our army; it was all done by him alone."
"ah?!"
Upon hearing this, the officers were even more terrified!
"He single-handedly defeated 100,000, plus 50 second-stage transcendent clones, and killed them all!"
The scene was deathly silent.
