Chapter 376: With Will, With Flesh and Blood
"If bullets don't work, can explosive packs work?"
Nini shouted while throwing six times in a row.
Mira's response was rather vague, her words were intermittent due to the explosion.
"Well, this should be possible."
"I feel relieved when you say that." Nini nodded, and threw faster, wishing she could wrap a few explosive packs around her tail and throw them over.
Behind her there were two banshees who were responsible for supplying her with ammunition and explosive packs. They would take them out of the boxes, pull the fuse to ignite them, and then hand them to Nini. The next moment, the ignited explosive packs would be stuck to Mira's face.
".Can you please stop staring at me and explode?"
"Wouldn't it be best to blow you up? You don't want Blood Harbor to be destroyed, do you? Just bear with it, I'll blow you to death soon."
Mira fell silent. It was hard to tell which one hurt her more, the explosive pack or Nini's trash talk.
On the other side, Zeus in the sea watched the entire live broadcast of the battle through the mental link.
There was a hint of worry in his eyes.
The battle with [Mother] seems to be going smoothly, but there are actually quite a few troubles here.
[Mother] For a monster of this size, the effect of explosive packs is of course better than shooting with bullets. This is the experience gained from deep-sea warfare.
But in deep sea warfare, the Banshees could throw explosive packs at will, but they have never been used here until now.
It’s not that the banshees don’t like to use it, but it’s really difficult to transport the explosive packs.
This thing is not waterproof and the risk of transporting it is much higher than bullets. The banshees carried some of it in sealed boxes, but the carrying efficiency is far lower than that of bullets.
The explosives produced in Castel are somewhat too active. Hughes knows many methods to passivate explosives, such as the most classic diatomaceous earth, but he has repeatedly run into obstacles in actual manufacturing.
Until now, Castel has not produced a fuse with high enough reliability, so the technology tree of artillery has not been developed. The transitional product of explosive packs has taken so long.
It is okay to use explosive packs near islands as they do not need to be transported over long distances. However, once they are transported, they are prone to various unexpected changes, which greatly limits their use.
Zeus suspected that this had something to do with Castel's worship of equivalent. Nini seemed to be suppressing the "Mother", but the supply speed of the explosive packs could not keep up with her consumption. Before Zeus came, he sent banshees to transport them, but the total amount was still not enough.
If [Mother] is not killed before the next round of devouring, Mira gradually realized that something was wrong on the battlefield.
Nini's strength was far from exhausted, and her throwing speed was still very fast, but now she needed to wait for the explosives to be delivered from the sea.
The Banshees move very fast in the sea, but they will be much slower when carrying huge ammunition boxes. In particular, these boxes loaded with explosives have to be waterproof and shock-absorbing at the same time, and a considerable amount of volume is wasted on this, so supply is a little difficult.
After a while, Mira found herself staring at Nini.
".Why don't you explode?"
"No, there are no more explosive packs."
Mira's face twitched again, and she glanced at the firearm that Nini had just thrown down: "How about... use that Gatling gun to hit me?"
Nini hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head: "That has little effect now, it is better to let the other banshees continue shooting, and I will wait for the explosive pack to come and throw it to you as soon as possible."
Mira was silent for a while, then spoke in a low voice: "What are you going to do? It is difficult to kill Mother at this level. After the next round of devouring, She will be greatly strengthened. After all, She will devour the souls of many mortals. By then, your bullets will probably be of no use."
A trace of worry appeared in her eyes: "Let's sacrifice as soon as possible. The [Mother] cannot be killed. We can only fight with our will."
"Please believe me - I was the one who caused this disaster, and I really want to end it. Once the [Mother] grows up, there has never been a record of it being killed by weapons from the outside world!"
"Now is the best time to sacrifice. Once [Mother] is strengthened again, her strength will be even stronger, and she will need a greater sacrifice!!"
Mira's voice was filled with anxiety. Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly froze.
Her eyes slowly turned and looked down.
Under her, the black silk threads began to shrink again!
All the people in the entire Blood Harbor, whether they were soldiers or residents, nobles or civilians, were pulled by the black thread towards the [Mother]! "Why so fast!?"
Mira muttered absentmindedly.
"This, this shouldn't happen. We shouldn't start the next round of devouring so soon."
Her gaze moved away from [Mother] and swept around, finally landing on the explosive pack in Nini's hand.
"I see, I see. You caused great harm to the Mother, causing Her to start the next round of contraction prematurely. It's over. It's all over!"
People were dragged towards the evil god at the dock. In the last round of dragging, people were just dragged one step forward, but this time, it was so difficult for people to even stand. Many people were directly pulled over, leaving a series of screams in the air.
[The Loving Mother] stood there, opened her mouth wide, and kept swallowing the person who was dragged towards her, and the dragging force was getting stronger and stronger!
Suddenly, he staggered and almost fell, as if he was pulled by something.
On the other side, the prince gritted his teeth, inserted the sword into the gap between the bricks and stones, supported his body, and wrestled with the evil god at the other end of the black silk thread with a ferocious look on his face.
Not only him, but also Galahad, Mother-in-law, Josh, Zoe, Kyle, and even the soul of the prince in the air tensed up, pulling the black thread in the opposite direction of the [Mother].
Everyone gritted their teeth, squeezed out every bit of their will, and fought against the evil god in the distance.
Together, it was extremely difficult for them to even drag the [Mother].
"Let's work together!" Someone shouted, and everyone pulled hard.
[The loving mother] seemed to be strangled by the neck and staggered back a few steps.
The so-called confrontation of wills, as long as the will is strong enough, you can pull down the evil god in turn! And the people in Blood Harbor, who have struggled in this chaotic land until now, have no shortage of will.
The followers of the Mother Goddess built a high wall with their flesh and blood, and the will of the people in Blood Harbor was as strong as steel!
The Secret Order, the Crusader Army, the Harbor Guard, people of all identities and factions put aside their differences and united together. Their shouts grew louder and louder, and more and more people joined the wrestling.
At this moment, people are no longer divided into high and low, rich and poor. They all roar against the evil god with their human bodies, courage, will, and everything they have! (End of this chapter)
