Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1675: Black Armor Descends

Although they had expected the Wuluan Empire to come at them with overwhelming force this time, they had never imagined that even humanity's most powerful weapon would have no effect on them.

Everyone felt their hearts sink.

“How strong are they, exactly?” Han Shanzuo murmured under his breath.

Li Changgong heard the dejected words over the communications channel and immediately snapped, “What’s so strange about that? Given the Wuluan Empire’s level of civilization, they must possess weapons no less powerful than Love of Death!”

“It’s perfectly reasonable that they could withstand an attack like that.”

Zhang Yi’s thoughts stirred at his words, and he couldn’t help asking, “Then do you think they might also have one of those extraordinary weapons of mass destruction?”

“No. If they did, they would have used it long ago,” Shang Daowen said with certainty.

He pushed up his glasses. “Or, even if they have one, they haven’t used it for some unknown reason.”

The development of technology itself was a rather remarkable thing.

When Love of Death was first created, it would have been hard to imagine that humanity could build a weapon with such destructive power, given the level of technology and weaponry in the world at the time.

……

Out over the ocean, half a minute earlier.

The moment they saw the meteor falling from beyond the sky toward the sea, the Wuluan Empire’s forces went on high alert.

They had been lying low in human nations for long enough to have heard of that terrifying weapon. There was no way they would leave themselves completely unprepared.

Seeing this, the Gatekeeper of the Underworld reached into his armor and pulled out a silver metal sphere. It looked like a toy, small enough to fit in one hand, with several hollow openings on its surface.

Even he showed great caution in the face of this unusual silver sphere.

Behind him, Silver Armor, the Black-White Commanders, and the Azure Armor warriors all instinctively wanted to retreat.

The Gatekeeper of the Underworld twisted the silver sphere, then tossed it into the air.

The instant the enormous Love of Death descended, the silver sphere unleashed an equally terrifying power.

Its energy was even more magnificent than Love of Death’s. It formed a splendid canopy that completely sealed the force of the explosion off from the world around them!

Even from a great distance, the terrifying blast put immense pressure on every Transcendent from Mist Valley present.

“This generation of humans truly possesses terrifying destructive power! It stands in stark contrast to how frail they are themselves.”

Hearing Blood Tide’s words, the Gatekeeper of the Underworld murmured, “Is this generation a race of intelligent beings? Could they be the Yihen, the race most beloved by the Unique God?”

At that, he shook his head.

“That can’t be. They’re too weak, and full of flaws. They can only be failures.”

Seeing the power unleashed by the silver sphere, Giant Blade realized that its control over power far surpassed that of Love of Death.

It was a masterpiece of the Wuluan Empire.

“Marshal, why not use the ancient weapon directly to wipe out that nation?” Giant Blade couldn’t help asking.

The Gatekeeper of the Underworld merely shot him a cold glance, his eyes full of warning. Giant Blade hurriedly lowered his head and apologized.

“That power is the source of chaos! That is precisely why our ancestors sealed it away.”

“Our appearance in this world already carries great risk. If we go too far, we may be wiped out on the spot.”

The Gatekeeper of the Underworld gazed at the distant horizon and gave a cold snort. “We don’t need to use forbidden power to deal with them! Follow me. We’ll wipe them all out!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the armor on his body unleashed tremendous thrust. The Gatekeeper of the Underworld became a terrifying storm and charged straight toward Tianshui City!

On Tianshui City’s side, all the combat-ready units were fully prepared.

The most elite warriors from each region had to be Transcendents ranked at least Deputy Captain-level, with a strength rating of 9,000 or higher, to be eligible to fight.

Even Colombia’s Sea Wolf Assault Team handed over its wartime command authority to mobile unit member Chi You, Xiao Lie.

He had only recently advanced to Epsilon-class, so he was assigned to lead the team and hold back most of the Azure Armor warriors.

Xiao Lie didn’t waste any time. He activated his Metal Frenzy ability and directly strengthened the weapons of every Epsilon-class Transcendent present.

With his ability bolstering them, the weapons in Zhang Yi and the others’ hands could gain at least 20 percent more power.

“This is all I can do for you on the front lines,” Xiao Lie told the others. Then, without delay, he led the members of the special operations unit away from the front.

He wasn’t strong enough to take part in an Epsilon-class battle. Once he had strengthened their weapons, his mission was over.

“Rumble!”

Thunderous sounds rolled in from the sea, but there was no lightning in the sky.

The rumbling came from the gale and the tsunami.

Out in the ocean, Cadillus and Xuanwu had already led a large force of Sea Beasts. They rose and sank beneath the waves, waiting for a fierce battle with the enemy’s naval forces!

On the distant horizon,

a massive black line was rushing toward Tianshui City.

Using the smart equipment in his combat suit, Zhang Yi saw what it was.

A tsunami!

A gigantic tsunami more than two hundred meters high was surging toward them, ready to destroy all of Tianshui City!

Judging by its size, this time it would not only swallow Tianshui City. Several nearby cities would likely meet the same fate.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath. There was no time now to grieve for those who might die.

They had to do everything they could to defeat the invading enemy!

“They’re here. Let’s begin!”

Following the established battle plan, everyone split into squads and, with Dai Sheng’s assistance, moved to their assigned positions.

Out in the ocean beyond Tianshui City, atop the enormous black waves, the Gatekeeper of the Underworld stepped across the raging swell and descended upon the city with an invincible bearing!

“Boom!”

A dazzling beam of light shot out from Tianshui City, heading straight for the Gatekeeper of the Underworld!

Seeing this, the Gatekeeper of the Underworld didn’t dodge at all. He simply raised his right hand and flicked it lightly, as though shooing away a mosquito.

The Heaven-tier weapon cannon, powerful enough to make even a Silver Armor Transcendent blanch, was knocked aside by the Gatekeeper of the Underworld with one hand!

It didn’t cause him the slightest harm, nor did it even crack his armor.

At the highest point in Tianshui City, Zhang Yi and Shang Daowen stood side by side. Zhang Yi held a massive hand cannon that was already smoking.

The single-use Tianshui City Cannons had been made with ample materials, but their portability limited them to this level.

Zhang Yi put it straight into his dimensional space.

“Just as I thought. He’s even harder to deal with than I imagined!”

His eyes fixed on the distant figure in black armor as he spoke in a low voice.
