Zhang Yi understood that Yang Xinxin was right. They had no way to control the Gatekeeper of the Underworld now, so her ability had no room to be put to use.
Zhang Yi told the others what Yang Xinxin had said, then continued, “For now, all we can do is buy time. Then we’ll find a chance to use Love of Death to wound him.”
Li Changgong looked at Zhang Yi in disbelief. “Chaos, have you lost your mind? Love of Death? Even if we could fire it, the commotion would be enormous. The enemy would probably detect it before it even launched.”
“Have you forgotten how they stopped the last shot from Love of Death?”
Zhang Yi stared at him intently and replied calmly, “I know. Of course I know. But don’t forget who I am. I’ll find a way to catch him off guard.”
Seeing the confidence in Zhang Yi’s eyes, Li Changgong wisely fell silent.
“Fine, then. We’ll carry out the second battle plan.”
“Buy time, then wait for the divine punishment Chaos spoke of.”
Shang Daowen said.
He was privately uneasy, too, because he had never seen this so-called divine punishment himself.
But Zhang Yi would never joke about something like this. They had no choice but to follow his plan.
……
Linhai City.
Newton and Canero had lured Blood Tide and his subordinate Nian ability users here.
Blood Tide and Nian had just flown in from over the sea when, the instant they appeared above Linhai City, a pillar of fire suddenly erupted beneath them!
All the explosives Newton had planted in the area detonated at once, engulfing both figures.
Watching the violent explosion along the shore, Canero said to Newton, “An explosion of this scale will have a hard time doing any real damage to them.”
Newton remained calm. “I know. But even if it only has a slight effect, it can still improve our odds of winning this fight.”
“Especially since...”
He pointed up at the sky. “The reinforcements we’ll soon receive will work very well with tactics like this.”
He had chosen Tianshui City as the site of the battle. That was why he had come to scout the surrounding area in advance.
Based on his calculations, the main battlefield would definitely be in this region.
The facts proved his statistical predictions correct.
“Mathematics never lies.”
He pushed up his glasses. Soon, Deng Shentong’s enormous Heavenly Dao Star bloomed in the sky.
Its intense ultraviolet rays illuminated an area nearly a thousand miles across. The radiation was especially powerful around Linhai City.
Blood Tide and Nian flew out of the explosion, and their armor had indeed sustained some damage.
“They set a trap in advance.”
“I’m curious. What made them so certain we would fight here?”
“Perhaps they set similar traps at all the other places that might become battlefields.”
Blood Tide and Nian exchanged words rapidly.
The appearance of the Heavenly Dao Star overhead immediately made them feel unwell.
It was like entering an area with too little oxygen. Dizziness and disorientation were inevitable.
Their armor was certainly durable, but it was still a product of technology. Blocking the enormous explosion had also damaged it.
As a result, it could no longer completely block the intense ultraviolet rays.
From the very start of the confrontation, Newton had seized the initiative by making use of the terrain.
“This opponent seems harder to deal with than the sea turtle we faced before.”
Nian cautiously warned Blood Tide.
“That doesn’t matter.”
Blood Tide spoke coolly. All around him, vast quantities of blood began to flow, forming a gigantic River of Gore.
It contained the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians from East Sea City!
“Before absolute strength, every obstacle is meaningless. They’re just making a desperate struggle before death!”
They did not need to win. They merely needed something to do while the Grand Marshal slaughtered the enemy.
Blood Tide did not care in the slightest whether he won or lost this battle, because he knew there was no chance he could lose.
Once the Gatekeeper of the Underworld finished dealing with the allied forces’ strongest fighters, the war would be over.
Newton and Canero had arrived at this battlefield ahead of time. They had already rehearsed this fight, so no words were needed. Canero immediately fell back, leaving Newton to stand at the front.
Facing the enemy in the distance, Newton raised the scientific hand cannon, Atheist, in his right hand.
Canero, farther away, raised his sniper rifle as well.
Their first target was Black-White Commander Nian.
In a two-on-two fight, the best approach was to take out the weaker opponent first and quickly gain a two-on-one advantage.
Canero’s gaze pierced the vast distance. Watcher could see through anything, even letting him see through buildings and aim precisely at his target.
“Piercing of All Things!”
He aimed straight at Nian and pulled the trigger.
A specially made bullet, imbued with his supernatural power, pierced through the void and shot straight toward Nian!
At almost the same moment, Newton raised his hand cannon and locked onto the enemy with the aid of its tactical visor’s targeting function.
Canero’s ability could pierce the enemy’s defenses. Even the strongest opponent would have a hole in their defenses after taking one of his attacks.
Newton’s hand cannon, by contrast, delivered a pure burst of energy!
Their combined tactic was simple: Canero broke through the opponent’s defenses first, then Newton finished the job.
Their attacks arrived at Nian one after the other in an instant.
But Nian’s eyes, which had been closed all this time, suddenly snapped open.
“Now!”
Blood Tide, who was dozens of meters away from him, raised a hand. The thick River of Gore instantly transformed into an enormous blood-red orb, sealing the two of them inside.
“Crack!”
Canero’s black bullet struck the surface of the blood-red orb, opening a fissure.
Then Atheist’s shot hit the gap with pinpoint accuracy!
With one strike, it blasted a huge hole through Blood Tide’s defenses.
But Newton and Canero had no time to celebrate.
The blood-red Pearl, formed from the blood of hundreds of thousands of people, began rapidly repairing itself the instant they breached it.
Nian then raised both hands and aimed at the long-abandoned city below.
“Rumble!”
The ground shook violently. This deserted city still had many buildings left over from the age of human civilization.
One skyscraper after another tore free from the ground, propelled into the air by Nian. Then they hurtled toward Newton and Canero!
More than a dozen skyscrapers fell toward Newton like toys.
Newton, however, remained completely unfazed. He raised his right hand. Golden light surged from Atheist, and a shell blasted out. The terrifying energy directly blew the enormous building before him to pieces!
