21st Century Necromancer

Anything, as long as its size becomes large enough, can turn into a headache-inducing threat.

Just like the doctrine of the Multi-Turret Cult, more is better, and big is beautiful. A massive size also implies immense power.

A normal person who is two meters tall can surely lift something heavier, run faster, and jump higher than a normal person who is 1.4 meters tall.

By the same logic, when the enemy you face changes from a two-meter-tall Animated Statue to two thirty-meter-tall Giant Statues, the visual impact brought by it and the destruction it can cause cannot be viewed in the same light.

Even if their energy level remains the same, and even drops due to the larger size needing more effort to maintain, a thirty-meter-tall Giant Statue... even a simple stomp could crush several Undead Soldiers.

Seeing the two Giant Statues walk down from their bases, Chen Yu couldn't help but hold his forehead; he truly hated such gigantic enemies.

While their massive size might mean a larger attackable area, it also means being tough and durable. Dismantling a three-meter-tall statue is easy; just smash it with a big hammer.

But dismantling a thirty-meter-tall statue? If you try hammering it, you might end up polishing it out of fatigue?

It was the same when fighting that Giant Sea Monster before. If Jounouchi Hiromi hadn't transformed into a giant dragon to battle it, Chen Yu alone would have needed much more effort to deal with the beast that was like a mountain.

But now? No matter how much I don't want to fight such enemies, I have to.

However, Anubis transforming into a Giant Statue did give up control over the Army of the Death God. Under the fierce battle of Chen Yu's Undead Legion, those jackal-headed warriors were soon smashed to sand.

Chen Yu didn't let the Undead Legion attack the Giant Statues; while it's not unfeasible, having ants bite an elephant is pretty unnecessary.

With the ship-girls' artillery cover, he ordered the Undead Legion to retreat, not expecting much assistance from Major General Claire, who had been mostly watching the show. Although she was a Demigod, to be honest, her combat ability was still outmatched by his ship-girls.

In this scenario, where there's no proper equipment or skills, a demigod merely possessing a high level could at best serve as support, a passable DPS tool would be a blessing.

Seeing his legion retreat into the Necromantic Space and even the corpses on the ground crawl away, Chen Yu turned his focus to the two Giant Statues being pinned down by the ship-girls, and began his summoning.

It was once again the Giant Angel Statue summoned during the confrontation with Queen Mary, only this time, the Angel Statue appeared drastically different.

The former Angel Statue was just a simple statue, lacking ornamentation or equipment, but now Chen Yu summoned an Angel Statue adorned with an entire set of imposing armor, holding a finely crafted sword and shield, finally exuding an aura of a battle angel.

Chen Yu fused himself into the Angel Statue, entering through the massive gem embedded in its chest, projecting his consciousness throughout the statue, turning the Angel Statue into his new body.

However, unlike Anubis, Chen Yu didn't have divine power accumulated over thousands of years, thus driving such a huge statue demanded massive energy.

Fortunately, after using it in the sealed London previously, Chen Yu had modified the Angel Statue by installing an energy source inside, eliminating the need to channel his own Magic Power for operation.

Though using his equipment, Chen Yu could draw from the Mage Tower's Magic Power reserves to operate the Angel Statue, opting for a more efficient way that conserved energy and improved combat efficiency was evidently smarter.

Activating the Angel Statue's energy core, a gigantic Elemental Crystal acquired from the Earth Elemental Plane, pure Magic Power flowed from the crystal through the circuits, saturating the Angel Statue.

The grand statue came to life, its eyes radiating light, wings fluttering serenely, akin to a divine angel descending.

Briefly assessing the Angel Statue's state, Chen Yu flexed, eyed the two Giant Statues ahead, and charged with his sword.

————————————————————

Major General Claire gazed up at the battle among the thirty-meter-tall statues, feeling her worldview thoroughly shaken.

The Egyptians built grand temples, and the plaza in front was wide enough. Although the three gigantic statues were battling there, the space was ample, allowing them to tussle without constraint.

This enabled Major General Claire to observe from a safe distance, witnessing this battle, which should only belong to myths, from an astounding perspective.

The massive angel swung its sword down on the jackal-headed Giant Statue, but it was blocked by the enemy's spear, while the falcon-headed Giant Statue's spear thrust was intercepted by the angel's shield in its other hand.

The clash of spears and shields resounded like thunder, echoing across the Garden of Osiris, leaving Major General Claire dazed by this myth-like battle, the booms tempting her to cover her ears.

Meanwhile, standing beside her, the seven ship-girls had unleashed full firepower, firing at the two Giant Statues and the temple behind them, the thunderous roar of cannons making Claire feel misplaced like she was part of modern warfare instead of a divine battleground seemingly.

Witnessing all this, Major General Claire doubted she was truly a Demigod.

If she were, why was it that Chen Yu, as a fellow Demigod, could summon seven ship-girls of equal status to aid his fight, rally an entire undead legion to fend off Anubis's Army of the Death God, and now summon a colossal angel reminiscent of true myth to battle the two Giant Statues, while she couldn't even participate in combat?

Could the power gap among Demigods be this vast? Or had Chen Yu already reached the status of true deities?

Otherwise, how could one explain the sight before her? They were facing no ordinary foe, but the esteemed Death God Anubis, one of the Nine Pillar Gods of Egyptian mythology!

Even though the Anubis present was merely an animated statue possessed by Divinity, not the great deity himself, it still showcased Chen Yu's formidable strength.

That is the power to challenge gods!

This left Major General Claire compelled to reassess the orders given to her by her homeland, feeling a need to reevaluate the weight of the deal with Chen Yu.
