God-Tier Extraction Talent: Reincarnated in a Game-like World! Chapter 619: Crimson Power
Previously on God-Tier Extraction Talent: Reincarnated in a Game-like World!...
New Dawn Camp.
As the black streak of light stretching across the heavens drew closer and closer, the entire camp, which had only barely managed to maintain order until now, finally lost all control. Countless residents, their faces deathly pale, fled frantically toward the depths of the camp. Cries, screams, furious shouts, and commands to maintain order intertwined without end, as though the entire camp had fallen into the apocalypse in an instant.
"Move!!"
"The elderly and children first!!"
"Don’t block the streets!!"
"All healing classes, organize the evacuation immediately!!"
"Hurry!!"
One player after another shouted as they directed the evacuation, but even so, more and more people could not help but stop in their tracks, raising their heads toward the sky in despair. The black streak of light had already become unimaginably enormous. The pressure radiating from it alone made it almost impossible for them to breathe, as though what was descending was not merely a weapon, but the entire sky itself.
Inside the Command Hall.
Anna clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails had already pierced deep into her palms, yet she seemed unable to feel any pain at all. She stared fixedly at the rapidly approaching black trajectory, her mind desperately searching through every possible solution.
But...There was none.
Absolutely none.
Faced with a power that lay far beyond everyone’s understanding, she felt, for the first time, a profound sense of helplessness.
At that moment, Sarah slowly stepped forward.
Almost everyone’s gaze fell upon her simultaneously.
She slowly raised her head, her crimson pupils quietly reflecting the ever-approaching black streak of light. There was still little change in her expression, yet the blood constantly flowing around her body suddenly began surging with unprecedented violence, as though it had sensed a danger capable of destroying everything, emitting one deep hum after another.
The next moment, Sarah gently closed her eyes. Then, she extended her right hand.
BOOM—!!
In an instant, the sea of blood covering the entire western battlefield seemed to boil completely. Endless blood shot into the sky, transforming before everyone’s utterly shocked eyes into an enormous scarlet torrent that connected heaven and earth as it surged toward the rapidly descending black nuclear weapon. At the same time, Sarah’s long hair, once as brilliant as blazing fire, gradually began losing its luster at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Meanwhile, the boundless life force within her, vast enough to seem nearly inexhaustible, began burning away madly.
What burned was not mana.
But life itself.
She was using her own life to forcibly drive the entire Blood Domain.
"Sh... she’s gone mad?!"
"She’s burning her life essence!"
"Stop her!!"
The face of a player with sensory abilities instantly turned deathly pale because he could clearly feel that Sarah’s life force was weakening at an astonishing rate. Yet she seemed completely oblivious to it, continuing to control that sea of blood which blotted out the heavens, forcing it higher and higher into the sky.
Finally, the vast sea of blood collided with the black streak of light.
BOOM—!!
A deafening roar resounded across heaven and earth.
Endless blood wrapped itself frantically around the nuclear weapon like countless chains created from blood itself, desperately pulling at its trajectory, while the black streak of light, which had originally been falling in a perfectly straight line, finally shifted ever so slightly for the very first time.
Only by a tiny amount, but that tiny amount caused everyone’s pupils to contract violently at the same instant.
"It... it shifted?"
"It really shifted!!"
"She can actually shake that thing?!"
Inside the camp, countless people who had already fallen into despair stopped in their tracks almost simultaneously, staring fixedly at the unbelievable sight in the sky as a sliver of hope reignited within their eyes.
However, that hope lasted only a brief moment.
As the nuclear weapon continuously released increasingly terrifying waves of energy, the countless crimson chains wrapped around it began shattering one after another. The entire sea of blood was gradually torn apart, while Sarah’s face grew paler and paler.
Pfft—!
A mouthful of blood suddenly burst from her lips.
Her body swayed slightly. Still, the right hand she had extended toward the skies never lowered.
"It’s still not enough..."
She gazed at the black streak of light that continued its relentless descent. For the first time, an obsession bordering on madness surfaced within her crimson eyes.
The next instant, the remaining life essence within her body ignited once more.
BOOM—!!
The blood filling the skies surged explosively once again.
The entire Blood Domain seemed to ignite completely as endless blood gathered into a gigantic scarlet hand that blotted out the sky, slamming fiercely into the black streak of light from the side. This time, the nuclear bomb finally deviated a little further from its original trajectory.
...
Meanwhile, on Edgeburn’s side.
Every technician widened their eyes almost simultaneously when they saw this scene.
"Report!!"
"The target’s trajectory has deviated!"
"Flight posture is being disrupted by an unknown force!"
"Recalibrating!"
"Recalibration failed!"
"Automatic recalibration failed!"
One urgent report after another instantly shattered the deathly silence. The entire command section immediately erupted into turmoil as every officer stared fixedly at the flight trajectory on the screen that continued changing ever so slightly, expressions of utter disbelief appearing on their faces for the first time.
"How is this possible?!"
"Someone can actually influence the flight trajectory of a nuclear weapon?!"
"What kind of monster is that?!"
Even Everest, whose expression had been cold the entire time, finally showed a change in his eyes for the first time.
He stared at the black trajectory in the center of the screen that continued drifting away, only to be relentlessly pulled back again, before slowly narrowing his eyes.
"She’s sacrificing her life..." he murmured softly.
Yes, this was something that was entirely possible in this world. It was not only something cultivators could do. Every living being could forcefully sacrifice their lifespan for a temporary boost in strength. It was similar to a berserk mode.
The smile on Everest’s face gradually disappeared.
"To protect those people... she’s willing to throw away even her own life?" The frown on his face grew deeper. "Just what kind of past did he have with her?"
Vampires hated humans. They saw humans as livestock. It was truly baffling to think one of them would go to such an extent for a human!
For a moment, he gave no further orders. He simply waited.
...So did everyone.
They were waiting to see whether that crismon power could continue creating miracles...Or whether the black streak of light that embodied destruction would ultimately break free from every restraint and descend upon the skies above New Dawn Camp.
