Chapter 159: The True God’s Phantom
Watching her points continuously increase, Qianqian just smiled slightly and continued to have her goblins load shells, carrying on the bombardment to the end.
The Gold-tier powerhouses had flown away, but the Bronze and Silver-tiers were unfortunate, unable to escape.
Although most weren't killed, just severely injured, the large numbers meant impressive results.
"Indeed, they are followers of evil gods, so cruel even to their own companions!" A silver-haired woman with delicate features, wrapped in a white robe, floated in mid-air, coldly observing the panicked crowd below and the continuously attacking goblins.
This Moon Elf's eyes suddenly turned completely silver-white.
The sky suddenly darkened in broad daylight, starlight continuously descending, transforming into star-fire that constantly bombarded the creatures below.
Whether demons, students, or Qianqian, all were included in her attack.
Compared to the goblin artillery attacks, the star-fire strikes were more intense, with higher damage.
Once touched by star-fire, it was impossible to extinguish.
"Nessya Silvermoon, you madwoman!" A group of great demons flew over, jointly resisting the falling star-fire.
They weren't helping the students, but if the star-fire attack continued, their subordinates would all die.
"Know your place!" The Moon Elf coldly laughed.
The starlight became more dazzling, followed by more star-fire falling from the sky.
A Moon Elf priestess certainly didn't have such earth-changing abilities on her own.
But at this moment, she wasn't fighting alone.
Behind her were dozens of priests from various races, transferring their power to her.
At the same time, other Gold-tier powerhouses were also supplementing their power to her, maintaining her consumption.
So this grand-scale attack wasn't produced by her alone, but a joint strike by over a hundred Gold-tier powerhouses!
Such intensity of attack naturally couldn't be resisted by just over a dozen great demons.
It was only because this was a large-scale attack. Otherwise, mere dozen or so Gold-tier demons would have been directly eliminated under the immense pressure long ago.
Even now with the attack dispersed, just in one encounter, several great demons were injured.
On the ground, the various units of the students suffered even heavier losses.
Under the burning of star-fire, they howled in death, unable to run out because the edges had long been sealed off by star-fire.
So many Gold-tier powerhouses joining forces were determined to eliminate all these foreign invaders here, protect the safety of their world, reduce the pressure on their faith's God, and let Him focus on fighting evil gods.
The power unleashed by so many Gold-tier powerhouses was astonishing. Even Xu Luo at this time only watched from afar, not daring to approach.
He clearly knew that with his current strength, even if he sent all his Zerg up there, the Silver-tier ones would just be going to their deaths.
As for Leviathans, as Gold Tier 9 monarch-level creatures, their individual strength was naturally very powerful.
In this world, there weren't many Gold Tier 9s, and whether there were monarch-level beings was uncertain.
So the individual strength of Leviathans could be said to be invincible.
But with over a hundred Gold-tiers here launching a joint strike, even if he sent all dozen or so Leviathans he had on hand up there, what use would it be?
Without using the power on the starships, this situation was unsolvable for him.
So at this moment, he might as well be a spectator, waiting to deal with the aftermath later.
Suddenly under attack, Qianqian was initially a bit flustered, but quickly stabilized the situation. The goblins activated some unknown device, directly raising a shield that protected them all inside.
Although still under star-fire attacks, because it wasn't just targeting them, not much star-fire fell on their side.
Moreover, it wasn't all hitting directly above them, so although the shield rippled when touched by star-fire, it stubbornly remained unbroken.
So except for some goblins dying at the beginning, amazingly, there were no more casualties in the following time.
Then the other goblins began to take care of those injured or dead goblins. If they really couldn't be saved, they were dealt with on the spot, not letting them suffer.
Although goblins were known for technology, their medical conditions were quite good.
At this moment, Qianqian's goblins were seen taking out medical boxes, starting to inject some potions into those injured goblins. Their conditions were immediately controlled, with some less severely injured even directly recovering.
"These medical conditions..." Xu Luo noticed the situation there, pondering.
Speaking of which, his current logistics methods were still somewhat lacking. Although Creeps could transport supplies and had some healing effects, at the current level of the Zerg, it wasn't enough to satisfy their needs.
As for the fairy butterflies' meager healing ability, there was no need to mention it. They were just part-time amateurs. Their bit of healing ability was not as good as the Zerg's own self-healing ability for the swarm.
It was just better than nothing. Although often the Zerg would just die if they died, and if not dead, they would just stay there slowly healing.
But if there could be some medical conditions, it would naturally be good.
It could greatly reduce his costs.
Xu Luo wanted to establish his own fleet, sweeping through one star region after another. Now he really wished he could split every penny into two to spend.
If there was a chance to reduce his costs, he certainly wouldn't miss it.
At this moment, a question arose in his mind. Things like these medical devices were created through science or technology. This wasn't a skill, nor a talent, nor something inherently brought from genes at birth.
So, could his Zerg extract this?
This was a question. Next time he had a chance, he needed to discuss it with Qianqian. Have a practical battle with her.
But it was possible that girl wouldn't agree. After all, having a real battle with him would just be one-sided abuse. He needed to think of a good excuse.
The star-fire strike didn't last long. After all, although Gold-tier was quite powerful, it wasn't inexhaustible.
Being able to cause such large-scale damage for so long was already impressive enough.
This was only achieved after they used various other methods to restore themselves.
And this strike was terrifying enough, directly devastating all units present, eliminating over 90%.
Those remaining were either severely injured or missing limbs, with almost none unscathed.
The demons were especially targeted, with hardly any low-level ones surviving.
Those Gold-tier ones were also in a miserable state. Among them, Liu Xiaobei should be considered the most unfortunate.
At the beginning, she was full of vigor. After allying with the local demon forces, she leaped to become a very powerful existence among the players, directly commanding the demon army to besiege many players, harvesting a large number of points.
Unexpectedly, before she could laugh to the end, there came an indiscriminate strike from goblin technology.
This hadn't passed when an even more terrifying joint strike from over a hundred Gold-tiers came.
Her species was the demon race, being a key target of attention, naturally couldn't escape.
The result was imaginable!
It was only because her avatar was powerful enough that she could barely support herself, but the units under her command were few remaining.
Fortunately, turning to look at other players, she found they weren't much better off than her, which immediately balanced Liu Xiaobei's mindset.
Among all the players, Fang Xuefeng should be considered relatively lucky.
Although he was initially also among those attacked, because his units could all fly, when Qianqian's strike came down, his units had already flown elsewhere. When the star-fire strike descended, he was already at the edge, easily breaking through the blockade line.
Although he also suffered some damage, it was much better compared to others.
Of course, these were all relative. To say he was very lucky wasn't necessarily true.
Because although he wasn't caught in the large-scale killing, and many of his units remained, this "many" was only compared to others.
Moreover, there were two Gold-tier powerhouses chasing closely behind him. It was unrealistic to shake them off, so his losses would further expand in the future.
The one truly unscathed should be Xu Luo.
He wasn't alone elsewhere, encountering other Gold-tier powerhouses' pursuit, nor did he enter the battlefield to encounter two large-scale indiscriminate attacks.
His Zerg were just outside this range, so they didn't suffer any damage. He was like a spectator, quietly watching all this happen.
"You've watched for so long, it's time to come out now." The Moon Elf floated proudly in mid-air, her wings gently flapping.
Her gaze sharp as a sword, she suddenly looked towards a certain place.
"You should just continue with your fight. Why drag me into it? Isn't it good to let me watch the show quietly?" Xu Luo smiled helplessly.
He had originally planned to appear at the end, but didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.
However, it didn't matter appearing at this time. Anyway, things had come to the point of cleaning up the mess. He would clean this up, and this farce should be about over.
"Followers of evil gods should be killed by everyone. You can't be an exception." Although the consumption was huge, they were after all Gold-tier powerhouses with impressive recovery abilities.
As the Moon Elf's words fell, several Gold-tier powerhouses immediately pounced towards Xu Luo's direction.
However, before they could get close to Xu Luo, several huge beasts rushed out from underground, blocking their way.
"Mere small fry, mere Silver-tiers dare to block the way." These Gold-tier powerhouses didn't take any Silver-tiers seriously at all. After all, there was a qualitative difference between Gold and Silver. Even though their power was now greatly consumed, the essence of Gold was there.
But they didn't know at all that Earth Dragon Zerg were not ordinary Silver-tiers. One indeed wasn't a match for Gold, but several together could temporarily block their way.
"It seems you should be their leader. No wonder you could watch them being slaughtered with open eyes. It seems you evil god followers are truly cold-blooded, not caring at all about the life and death of your own kind." The Moon Elf looked at Xu Luo, speaking coldly.
In her view, these evil god followers were really hard to understand. They looked like ordinary life forms, but when fighting, they were so crazed.
How could they lay hands on some ordinary creatures? There were old people and children among them.
"Who told you we're the same kind?" Xu Luo smiled slightly.
"But it seems your reinforcements have arrived. It's a bit unrealistic to directly resolve you now."
He was a bit disappointed. Originally, he thought with his current strength, resolving these Gold-tiers should be doable. After all, these Gold-tiers had already greatly lost strength. Relying on the combat power of those Leviathans at their peak, resolving them should be barely achievable. But now that the opponent had fresh troop reinforcements, there was no way.
"Luyang, our God, please grant us divine power! Let Your loyal believers eliminate the followers of evil gods before us!" Seeing Gold-tier powerhouses being jointly blocked by Leviathans or Earth Dragon Zerg, those local powerhouses knew this enemy was different from other invaders, with very powerful strength.
Now with their strength greatly diminished, it was unrealistic to try to resolve the opponent like before.
Especially the Leviathans at their peak were too powerful. Gold Tier 9 monarch-level creatures, one could fight several ordinary Gold-tiers. If faced one by one, even dozens could be resolved.
So without any hesitation, they directly began to unite in prayer, starting to borrow the power of their God.
This was the ability of priests. Although their God hadn't responded to them for a long time, they could still briefly borrow divine power.
Then the next moment, a majestic figure appeared between heaven and earth, connecting sky and ground, completely unable to see his boundaries.
No one knew how tall he really was. In any direction one looked up, they could see the true body of this God.
Then the next moment, all the powerhouses of this native world knelt down, sincerely praying, offering their devout faith to their God.
The phantom of this God just lightly glanced at his believers, slightly raising his hand, and all believers unconsciously stood up.
The next moment, His gaze fixed on Xu Luo.
Although He didn't speak, just His gaze alone gave people a very strong sense of pressure.
It made Xu Luo, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly change expression at this moment.
