Chapter 374 Mira Awakens
Assault mode is the most penetrating attack method. Even Castel rarely uses this steam rifle - its ammunition is limited and it will be gone once it is used up.
It’s not that Zeus didn’t want to make some more. After all, although this weapon is nominally called a gun, its power is almost comparable to that of a large-caliber artillery.
But after just a little research, he gave up the idea.
The steam of this steam rifle is mercury vapor. It uses high-temperature and high-pressure mercury vapor as the power for shooting. This is Zenith technology.
Not to mention the current Castel, even Blue Star doesn’t have such a weird technology tree. It’s just like the mechanical priest who killed Zeus last time. It is a completely incomprehensible technological creation.
But there is no point in keeping good things unused. Although Hughes could not make a mercury steam rifle, he could really make a large-caliber artillery.
By then, this steam rifle will probably be useless, so it is better to use it now.
The banshees all pulled the lever together, and the compressed mercury vapor in the steam barrel flowed through the pipe into the barrel, and was compressed to the extreme by the piston. Following Nini's command, it pointed to the top of the [Mother's] head.
[Mother] seemed to feel the threat as well. She screamed and stretched out her limbs, trying to hit Nini and the others. However, the banshees providing fire support in the rear were not idle. They immediately fired bullets at the limb that was about to fall. The dense bullets penetrated the flesh and blood and actually broke the limb.
Nini and the others had already approached the [Mother]. The flesh and blood falling from the sky landed on them, making a strange sizzling sound, and white smoke rose up.
"Fire!"
At Nini's command, the steam rifles all made a loud explosion.
The recoil of this weapon was terrifyingly great, and the banshees had all six hands full, with each holding three steam rifles. Even with their tremendous strength, they were still knocked back a few steps.
Naturally, this wave of close-range shots could not miss the target. The powerful mercury bullets all hit the black cocoon. This time the attack did not bounce off. Although the black silk thread was extremely tough, a hole was still blasted in the cocoon.
"Success!" "As expected, the attack mode is the most powerful." "Let's see what's inside!"
[Mother] was in pain and struggling madly, while the banshees were retreating and looking into the cocoon.
There seems to be a person inside the cocoon?
These banshees were all from Castel. Although they had seen Mira's portrait in the newspaper, they had never seen her in person, and they did not recognize the high priestess of the Church of the Mother of Life at first.
Mira in the cocoon slowly opened her eyes at this moment.
She was different from before. Most of her body was no longer sunk into the body of the [Mother Goddess]. Instead, only a small part of her body was connected to the flesh and blood beneath her. Most of it was independent. She seemed to be no different from before, still looking so skinny.
There was some confusion in her eyes. She first looked at the Banshees shooting in the distance, and then looked down at her body in confusion.
When she found herself connected to the flesh and blood of the Mother Goddess, she felt as if struck by lightning, and stood there in a daze with her eyes wide open.
"How is that possible?"
Her voice was very soft and quiet, she was just talking to herself.
But this mumbling appeared in the ears of everyone in Blood Harbor.
Whether they were mortals, extraordinary beings, or banshees, they all heard her unconscious murmurs.
Even Hughes, who was far out at sea, heard it.
He did not approach Blood Harbor, nor did he move away. Instead, he let the retreating banshees in Ash's team protect him and stayed in the sea.
After all, he can use the Banshee's ability to move quickly in the sea, and his ability to escape is first-class, so he is actually safer in the sea.
"Mira, she is Mira."
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Mira. She seemed to have just realized what had happened. After she reacted, she immediately shouted loudly to all directions: "Quick, get out of here, I can't control [Mother] anymore!"
Nini, who was standing not far in front of her, had her eyes lit up.
"She can communicate! She can communicate!!"
After [Mother] appeared, she seemed to have been acting on instinct. The perception of these banshees was not very obvious. The crusaders in the distance participated in the battle with her throughout the whole process and could clearly feel the changes.
At the beginning, He did not react at all when attacked. Even when attacking, He would look for the nearest one and could be easily kited.
After being resurrected by his believers, He seemed to have acquired some simple intelligence and would choose more efficient ways of attack - such as the two times He crushed the port guards after waking up.
Just now, He wailed when He was hit and got angry when He was suppressed. All of this was more like a rational and thinking individual.
Nini stared at Mira, dodging the attacks of [Mother] while asking quickly:
"Are you Mira? We are Castel's warriors. What's going on with this [Motherly]? Why is she slaughtering Blood Harbor?"
When Mira heard the word "massacre", her whole body trembled. She looked at Nini, who was covered in steel armor and whose body shape and appearance were obviously not human, and hesitated for a moment.
"Damn it, she doesn't believe it - where are the Skitarii? The Fire Moth? Where is Granny? Save her!"
Nini typed in the mind link while dodging the attacks. The gun in her hand was still firing, and she didn't stop talking: "We sent people to communicate with you. We were chatting happily, but you suddenly launched a rebellion. We had no choice but to protect ourselves. Look around you!"
Mira turned around and looked around after hearing that. She was standing on top of the huge body of [Mother] and had an excellent view, and most of the Blood Harbor was in sight.
This used to be a prosperous port, but now it is full of broken walls and ruins. From the upper city to the slums, countless houses have collapsed and black smoke is still billowing from many places.
The bodies of the port guards, the fallen believers of the Mother Goddess, the crying civilians, all of this fell into Mira's eyes, and her lips were pursed.
"What have I done?" Mira pulled her hair in pain, took a few quick breaths, and finally calmed down a little. She looked at Nini who was wearing heavy armor but was able to dodge flexibly: "There is no time to explain now, you must leave here immediately, the Mother Goddess [Mother] is completely out of my control, it will kill all the living things here!"
Nini immediately replied: "Don't worry, we will help you control it, you just need to tell me how to defeat [Mother]."
"There is no way, no way. He has grown to this extent. No attack can hurt Him!"
Nini blinked.
"No? Are you sure? Why don't you look down and see that [Mother] is almost beaten to death by us."
