Chapter 298, Rotten Dragon
That's a dragon.
Although it looked small from a distance, it was actually a huge monster. Its body rapidly dropped and became extremely huge in a short period of time.
Soon, it was not just Gu Hang who paid attention to it.
People all saw the appearance of the giant beast.
It looks very much like the giant dragon in mythology, but it is much more terrifying than that.
Its yellow and green body was covered with lumps and swellings; its rotten skin was surging; swarms of flies were flying around its body; its pale eyeballs, without a trace of blood or pupils, were bulging outward as if they would fall off at any time.
People were stunned.
Someone shouted the first name of this monster:
"It's the Rotten Dragon!"
"God Emperor above!"
"Why does this thing appear?!"
"Where's Mingyan City's anti-aircraft firepower?! Where's the void shield?!"
In a panic, people became extremely confused because of the arrival of this demon.
Even the knowledgeable Gallardo looked solemn at this moment.
The Rotten Dragon, this thing is absolutely difficult to deal with even if you encounter it during the Solar Expedition.
This is a huge dragon-shaped demon engine. Unlike the Purgatory Dragon forged from steel and hellfire, the Rot Dragon seems to be made from some kind of supernatural biotechnology, shaping terrible rotten flesh and blood, and binding the soul of the demon in it.
It possesses all the characteristics of a 'dragon' that people imagine and that actually existed on certain planets, and is deeply combined with the concept of 'decay' to form its current terrifying appearance.
It has the power to overturn Titans and the ability to fly. When it exhales a breath of corruption, steel will be transformed by supernatural evil magic and corrupted into wriggling rotten meat.
This is an extremely terrifying abyss monster, and the environment in which it appears should be relatively harsh. Although it has not reached the level of a great demon, its existence itself will still be strongly rejected by the real world. Only when the real world is eroded to a certain extent by the laws of the abyss can this monster be provided with a basis for existence in the real dimension.
There is indeed a large number of Chaos Cult activities on Koroja 3, which almost caused the fall of an entire hive, but after all, the problem only exists in one corner and has not yet reached the point of a full-scale outbreak and spread to the entire planet.
If such a powerful abyss demon appeared in that fallen hive, it would be understandable. But...
In Mingyan City?
Why?
Even the well-informed Gallardo found it incredible!
But what appears before your eyes is never fake.
Moreover, this rotten dragon not only appeared, but also did not arouse the vigilance of the air defense detection system equipped by Mingyan City. It even inexplicably passed through the huge energy shield and appeared on the inside of the shield.
Instantly, Gallardo had a suspicion in his mind: this was most likely a conspiracy against him, something, or someone, had let this dragon in. Otherwise, how could those Chaos Evil followers have the ability to find the dignitaries of the Pegasus Star Region, including himself, the War Apostle, and launch an aerial raid when they were there?
This is a conspiracy!
He didn't understand how the person who plotted this conspiracy did it.
But it is meaningless to investigate the cause now, as that is something we should think about afterwards.
The first thing is to survive.
The Rotten Demon Dragon's pale dead eyes stared downwards, and its huge dragon mouth was already fully opened.
Gallardo had seen this scene before, but that time he was looking at it from afar, watching the imperial army being attacked by the dragon.
But now, this corrupt breath was directed at himself.
There is no doubt that most people in this open-air banquet will die under the breath of the evil dragon.
As a last resort, the War Apostle used his own abilities.
The tip of the Eagle Scepter in his hand emitted a golden light; his eyes also changed from normal to pure gold. The next moment, before the dragon could exhale, he released three golden beams of sunlight from his eyes and the scepter, heading straight for the dragon.
The Rotten Dragon is surrounded by a swarm of Nurgle flies. This companion abyss monster is of course very small compared to the dragon; but in fact, each one is more than one meter in diameter.
These Nurgle giant flies formed a line of defense around the Rotten Dragon. While the light beam penetrated and destroyed these giant flies, it was also contaminated by the exploding evil magic, and its power was reduced. In the end, although the light beam still hit the Rotten Dragon, it burned three large holes on its huge body that could not be ignored.
Such damage made the dragon wail, but it also made it even angrier.
The thick breath of corruption still inevitably fell from the sky.
Gallardo was confident that he could survive such a blow. Although he was not a psychic, nor did he have a body as strong as a top warrior, the blessing shared by the Sun Lord and the power of the Emperor would protect him, making him invulnerable to all evil and tenacious.
But there is no doubt that many powerful people here will suffer heavy casualties.
For example...
He also glanced at the crowd next to him and saw Gu Hang with a serious expression and Wang Qi with a terrified look on his face.
He had heard that the Gu family was already discussing selling the ship, surrendering to him, and paying the 300 million tax coins "donation". But if they died here today, who would pay the 300 million?
It's not just them, either.
For example, the sector leader Pedes, the Koroja Governor Akuna, and many other dignitaries who had agreed to pay tribute to a greater or lesser extent... after they died, all the money that had been agreed upon was gone.
what to do?
Just as he was thinking, his eyes fixed and he suddenly saw Gu Hang making a move!
His eyes turned azure blue, and he raised his hands upwards. A curtain of azure blue light formed in the sky above the open-air banquet hall.
The breath of corruption hit the azure light curtain.
Gallardo was surprised again.
He had read Gu Hang's information, which mentioned that the governor of the Angry Owl Star was a psychic - a legal one, registered with the Psychic Order.
However, he did not take this information seriously at first. In the empire, many powerful families, if their descendants have certain psychic talents, would like to cultivate them whenever they have time. After all, who would not want to master some extraordinary powers if conditions permit?
Although in most cases, it is just blind investment, mastering some tricks and being able to hold a cup without using hands is enough.
However, the power displayed by Governor Gu at this moment far exceeded the normal level.
According to his judgment, the one who can withstand the breath of the Rotten Dragon must be an extremely powerful psychic. According to the grading of the Psychic Order, he must at least be an A-level psychic.
Such a psychic is a rare talent even in the Solar Expeditionary Force. Its value is even greater than that of a starship!
I was wrong. Could it be that Gu Hang had such a strong psychic talent? What on earth was the psychic order in the Tianma Star Region doing that they couldn't even gather this much intelligence?
By this time, Gallardo could finally relax a little.
With the presence of Gu Hang, an A-level psychic, casualties will be greatly reduced.
"Thank God!"
Such a big commotion was not only seen by Gallardo, but also by everyone else present.
The rich and powerful all thought they were dead, but who knew a savior would appear from the sky!
Gu Hang's voice resounded throughout the banquet hall: "Everyone please evacuate as soon as possible! Leave the open air area! Go to the lower area! I can't hold on for much longer!"
Everyone woke up as if from a dream and began to retreat.
Wang Qi stood next to Gu Hang. She was extremely shocked but also worried.
Gu Hang's voice sounded alone in her mind, asking her to leave.
She gritted her teeth, turned and left.
No matter how worried she was, she knew that she would play no role in an incident like today's, and staying would only drag down Gu Hang.
Under the protection of the bodyguards who rushed over, she began to evacuate with all her might, just like other dignitaries, under the protection of the psychic light curtain and the corrupt breath of the angry dragon.
The other dignitaries ran away very fast.
After all, no one was sure how long Gu Hang could hold out. If he ran too slowly, and Gu Hang failed to block the breath of corruption, he would be dead for sure.
But running away is not that easy.
Outside the banquet hall, there was a burst of gunfire.
Some plague zombies, plague bearers and other monsters appeared around the banquet hall. They were very resistant to bullets and could not be killed completely unless their bodies were completely destroyed by bullets.
The guards had already engaged these monsters, but failed to eliminate them immediately. Instead, in the chaos, some monsters rushed into the banquet hall.
The ugly and disgusting appearances of these Chaos Plague Monsters caused screams and cries.
Just when these plague monsters were about to cause terrible casualties among the crowd, golden lights flashed one after another, accurately killing one monster after another.
Gallardo took action.
His rather authoritative voice rang out: "Don't panic! Evacuate in an orderly manner!"
The sound seemed to have some kind of calming psychological effect, and it did prevent the situation from getting worse.
At the same time, the anti-aircraft firepower that had been absent for a long time in Mingyan City finally opened fire as if waking up from a dream.
However, the anti-aircraft firepower that was activated at the same time was not enough, so it seemed a bit sparse. The surrounding swarms of Nurgle flies blocked most of the firepower, and only a small part could hit the Rotten Dragon.
However, objectively speaking, although the anti-aircraft firepower seems to be very weak for the time being, after all, this rotten dragon is a "lone dragon in the pond", without any other demon air force accompanying it, and there is not enough support on the ground. As the swarms of Nurgle flies around it are cut off layer by layer by the anti-aircraft guns, the number of anti-aircraft guns opened will become more and more in the following time.
Not to mention, the highest level of combat power in Mingyan City also reacted at this moment.
Many flying motorcycles were launched into the air. Battle sisters wearing green and white power armor rushed into the air. They flew around the dragon, firing their bolters continuously.
The most eye-catching and heroic one among them is a short-haired lady holding a huge long-handled sword.
As the anti-aircraft firepower increased and the nuns of Holy Lily joined the battle, the dragon might not be able to hold on and would be destroyed in the end.
There are many people who can see this.
Gallardo was thinking that no matter who had launched this attack, it could now be considered a failure. Even he had not expected that there was an A-level psychic like Gu Hang in the banquet hall, and those conspiracy makers could not have expected it.
Even though he had a good source of intelligence, he only knew that Gu Hang had received psychic training since he was a child; he learned from Sister Saint Lily that Gu Hang had certain psychic combat capabilities. However, his intelligence analyst estimated that Gu Hang's psychic strength was only D-level, and at most C-level.
Who would have thought that a planetary governor could display such a level of combat prowess.
That boy is really good at hiding.
But that's a good thing.
While Gallardo was firing golden beams to destroy the monsters that entered the banquet hall, his thoughts had already turned to how to use this incident afterwards and how to find the possible conspirator who could use the abyss demon's layout.
Just as he was thinking about it, an illusory crack suddenly opened on the top of his head.
He reacted very quickly, and immediately turned his staff and attacked upwards. Several plague demons that fell from the cracks were killed.
However, the abyss crack grew larger and larger in a short period of time, and the abyss demons came like rain. The golden light beams were unable to destroy so many of them in time, and he was submerged by countless abyss demons!
Despite this, he was just in a heavy mood and not too panicked.
The golden light enveloped him as he continued to kill the demons that approached him. As long as he protected himself well, he believed that his guards and other human warriors would definitely come to the rescue with all their strength.
This is indeed the case.
He sensed Gu Hang's psychic power and rushed to rescue him immediately. A large number of abyss demons surrounding him were swept away and crushed by the power of psychic energy.
"Ha, a little trick." He laughed in his heart.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt a terrible pulling force.
Another deep crack appeared under his feet!
He immediately tried his best to fight it, but he still couldn't stop himself from falling into the crack.
A moment later, the plague demons surrounding where he was originally were swept away by Gu Hang's psychic power, and the abyss crack in the air gradually shrank, and no new demons fell.
However, the War Apostle was no longer to be seen there.
Gu Hang looked nervous, and called out through his psychic power, asking everyone to search for the location of the War Apostle with all their might.
On the other side, all the abyss rifts were quietly closed.
Without the support of the power from the abyss rift, the remaining demons, including the dragon in the sky that was still fighting with the battle nuns, would lose the source of their power to exist in the real world and would soon be expelled back to the abyss.
But it doesn’t matter, Gu Hang’s goal has been achieved.
