Chapter 288 Advancement
"Reincarnation, activate!"
With a soft shout, myriad divine lights burst forth in the divine kingdom, and the phantoms of Heaven and the Seven Hells descended simultaneously.
Five fully-equipped angel legions and over 50 billion undead, led by a group of god-level powerhouses, lined up from their respective levels.
Jiang Yan took a deep breath and slowly pushed the materialized Reincarnation Projection into the intelligent machine base.
In an instant, the powerful pressure shattered the surrounding space, and hundreds of thousands of affected cannons were crushed into fragments.
But the AI legion reacted swiftly, with countless azure crystal towers leaping into the air. They hovered in the void, rippling with unique patterns.
The shattered space instantly stabilized, and the mechanical devices were coated with a layer of glowing blue light, resisting the solidified divine power.
This is a product that was not originally included in the information provided by the various realms. Clearly, during these countless sealed eras, the Mechanical Overlord has developed many powerful weapons.
Boom boom boom!
The next moment, all kinds of war machines that had stabilized instantly started up, and artillery fire, lasers, antimatter missiles... bombarded the projection of reincarnation.
"Heretical sects without faith should be eliminated."
Tinas, Anna, and the others turned cold and were about to lead the angel legion to intercept them.
"Hey, let them see the true power of the undead army." Satan's body surged with death energy, and cracks appeared on his body.
His recent defeat had left him feeling ashamed, and he desperately needed to prove himself.
"Wait, don't rush to make a move." Jiang Yan raised his hand to stop the crowd.
Once the battle gets out of hand, the angelic and undead legions might not have enough resources to protect the Samsara Projection indefinitely. Therefore, he must first test whether he can withstand the combined attack of these machines. Otherwise, if his divine magic is shattered when he penetrates deeper into the enemy ranks, the losses could be devastating.
Under Jiang Yan's divine gaze, a barrage of firepower descended, and as it drew near, the Samsara Pool at the boundary between Heaven and Hell suddenly churned violently.
A deep roar defied the rule that sound cannot travel through a vacuum, echoing throughout the entire starry sky.
A phantom, millions of feet tall, appeared on the surface of the cycle of reincarnation. Its surface was vaguely covered with mottled, bone-like armor, and hundreds of blood-red tentacles were densely packed around its sides.
—That was a wisp of instinctive consciousness from the fused Zerg Overlord.
Countless gaping mouths materialized on its body, swallowing all the artillery fire in one gulp. As its flesh and blood writhed, the destructive attacks were transformed into pure energy and injected into the Pool of Reincarnation.
Meanwhile, within the Omnic Legion.
The effects of the various artillery attacks were quickly fed back to the central star fortress, with countless formulas and data streams flashing.
"Observe unknown capabilities and establish relevant archives..."
"The energy conversion efficiency is estimated at 10 to the power of 44 joules per second..."
"Strength per unit area: 79..."
"Attempt to introduce an antimatter-based attack to disrupt the conversion process...failed..."
"Attempt to introduce a curvature laser beam for localized penetration...failed..."
"The reset strategy's core concept stems from the Zerg Overmind's abilities, and it cannot be destroyed..."
"Attempting to introduce more fleet overflow attacks... Defense barrier is fluctuating, effective... Generating a plan..."
In an instant, the sky flashed with warp lights, and several full-strength fleets warped in to join the attack, with even more artillery fire raining down from the sky.
"Stop them!"
Jiang Yan, whose divine sense was constantly monitoring the battlefield, changed his expression and immediately gave the order.
Upon hearing this, the angelic legion, which was already in a state of preparation for battle, immediately released the holy light spells in their hands. The enormous power of holy light soared into the sky and collided with a portion of the firepower in the void, annihilating and dissolving each other.
However, because they were a step too slow, quite a few attacks still landed on the Samsara projection.
The intense firepower exceeded the current absorption efficiency, causing the entire divine spell to fluctuate and become somewhat illusory.
"Unfortunately, the Reincarnation Divine Art is currently based on my divine kingdom, and its power is limited, only able to withstand attacks from approximately the limits of a main god."
Jiang Yan shook his head. After roughly understanding the current limit of divine magic tolerance, he stopped advancing and ordered the clearing of the mechanized legions within the coverage area.
"Anna, Floria...you and the others should lead the Angel Legion to stop those starships."
"Sheena, Asar...you are responsible for clearing away the defensive equipment blocking the way."
"Tinas, Satan, you two stay in the center and keep watch to prevent the Mechanical Overlord from taking action personally."
"Yes, Holy Lord/Emperor."
The group of god-level powerhouses responded in unison, returned to the front of their respective legions, and led their troops forward without hesitation.
Asar switched to a bone dragon mount and took the lead, with the massive undead army close behind.
The defensive equipment instantly shifted its target and unleashed a barrage of firepower.
But this time the result was clearly different from before.
Warriors within the range of the Reincarnation Divine Art were rapidly resurrected by the Reincarnation Pool. They charged forward, dying repeatedly to approach the turrets, tearing them to shreds one by one.
After merging with the Zerg Overmind, the entire divine spell can almost completely recover all energy scattered within its range. Although these warriors were shattered by artillery fire, the energy that constituted them still dissipated within the cycle of reincarnation. After being recovered, a perfect resurrection cycle can be achieved.
To break this barrier, one must either directly shatter the projection of reincarnation or the divine kingdom itself with absolute power, or deploy enough powerful warriors to defeat the defenders and breach Hell and the Holy Mountain; otherwise, they will only be slowly worn down.
These shortcomings will become increasingly difficult to address once Jiang Yan advances to the level of a main god or even a supreme god.
Back on the battlefield, as the undead army respawned time and again, they finally broke into the defensive lines and began to wreak havoc.
Compared to the last time, tens of thousands of high-ranking god-level bone dragon knights have also joined the battlefield this time. Their dragon breath is not like that of most of the melee-focused insectoid undead; each breath can annihilate a large area of machinery.
Meanwhile, Sheena, who was behind, set her sights on the crystal towers that emitted blue light and stabilized space.
With the help of her clone, she quickly drew her bow and nocked an arrow. Thanks to the guaranteed hit effect of "Inheritance Twin Archery," she didn't need to aim at all.
The arrows rained down like a storm, accurately striking each crystal and shattering it.
However, the AI Legion reacted just as quickly, with laser turrets equipped with countless firing ports leaping over to intercept Sheena's attacks.
Meanwhile, above, the angelic legion clashed with the overwhelming fleet.
Although the main cannons of these starships are powerful, each angel has now reached the level of a high god, making them difficult to lock onto. The only option is to launch a barrage of attacks and send out a large number of escort ships and mech warriors to contain them.
With the dual protection of healing angels and the divine art of reincarnation, the angels were fearless and charged into the fleet amidst the billowing smoke.
"Holy Flame Judgment!"
The longsword, formed from holy light, easily sliced through the deck made of high-grade alloy, destroying starship after starship.
Anna, especially, who is in the First Temple, is the only one who has completed the bestowal of a divine position. She can receive the power of the entire cycle of reincarnation to a certain extent, and her divine power is almost inexhaustible.
One attack array after another evolved, and beams of divine punishment ravaged the battlefield, annihilating large numbers of enemies.
Hundreds of kilometers... Thousands of kilometers... Tens of thousands of kilometers...
The entire defensive line was advancing rapidly.
