Chapter 1527: Transmission Begins!

Dallas

Birmingham..

Warren Fort..

Taking Houston as the war zone and center, the meteor that fell from the sky immediately drew the attention of many Survivors.

Inside the Safe Zone, people stared blankly at the sky as if the Milky Way had fallen, everyone's faces shocked, utterly unable to comprehend what it was.

Sixty-seven coordinates were covered simultaneously.

At that moment, the skies over North America seemed to be lit up like eternal day.

On each coordinate, as few as dozens or as many as hundreds of light points locked on.

The combat pods descending at dozens of times the speed of sound raised a deafening sonic boom.

With a thunderous explosion, it seemed as if the whole world would be destroyed.

"My God! What the hell is happening!? What is that!? Are they alien monsters!?"

On the wall of a Safe Zone, hundreds of Awakened Ones formed an anti-air emplacement; everyone stared up in shock, helplessly watching the rapidly falling "meteor."

Just a short while ago, the news of Mutants suddenly attacking North America had already left them panicking.

Who would have thought that such a thing would suddenly appear now!

For a moment, they felt that at this instant, an unimaginable chaos had begun.

Outside Black Gold City.

"Bang!!"

Flesh and blood burst apart.

Far away, hovering in midair, the third-rank fugitive who first spotted Lin An watched with interest as the fourth monster blocking the "attack" died.

Looking at the believers huddled together like a human wall, he felt as if he were standing before an ant nest.

Each of his moves would cause these ants to panic.

He noticed that many of the "bugs" on the outskirts, under such immense pressure, had even started crying, trying to flee.

Of course, this was quite normal.

Even he thought it strange that these bugs could hold out until now, still guarding the place with devout appearances.

After all, even the god these bugs believed in was powerless, only able to hide at the end and wait to die—who would still consider that a god?

"Is this what you believe in?"

"A few broken stones? A tire?"

"Boom!!"

He casually fired a scorching beam.

The leader of the fugitives, a third-rank, snorted and directly set fire to a woman praying at the stone.

Amidst the cries of panic and screams of agony, he couldn't help but sneer.

"What are they praying for? What faith!!"

"If they're going to believe, they should believe in them!"

"They are the gods who have always been worshipped in human history!"

These bugs' crying annoyed him greatly; especially when they prayed while sobbing, they seemed like madmen—foolish and laughable.

"Ling An, give up struggling."

"How? Do you want to play god again and trick these bugs into giving you more power?"

"Hah."

"I'll tell you the truth: not only are the Annihilators bringing Mutants to attack, but soon even the true gods will appear—three of them!"

"Let these poor bastards die for you; in terms of courage, you're not even as good as this bunch of bugs!"

"Pose as a god? You're not even worthy!"

A voice full of mockery echoed throughout the venue.

After receiving the order from a true god–level existence to control Lin An,

Although he didn't really want to risk killing his way over.

But making these bugs collapse into despair works just as well.

It's obvious that after Lin An's power was reduced to zero, his only source of strength remained these followers. Once they realize that the object of their faith is nothing but a worthless ant queen, it will naturally affect Lin An.

To be honest, he was quite curious.

When these ignorant lower-class humans see a true god–level powerhouse arrive, what kind of fear and collapse will they experience?

Suddenly realizing that this is what a god is?

Realizing how laughable the things they believed in truly are?

However, this went beyond his expectations.

His words, for those like Old Pu Te with the highest degree of conversion, seemed only to strengthen their faith.

Only see, Old Pu Te, standing together with An Ge Si at the front, at this moment seemed to burst forth with the greatest courage of his life, glaring at him.

"Shut up! You monsters wearing human skins! You have no idea of the great authority of a god!"

"This is merely a test! When the god descends, you will all face Judgment!"

"All sins..."

"Whoosh!!"

Before Old Pu Te could finish his angry roar, the third-rank fugitive in midair, his expression grim, instantly attacked.

Directly, a blade of wind shot out and effortlessly severed Old Pu Te's body at the waist.

These damned bugs! How could they have been brainwashed like this!?

Test?!

If he weren't unwilling to take risks, he could wipe them out alone! Chop off Lin An's head and use it as a ball to kick!

In the human wall, Anduyin saw Old Pu Te cut in half at the waist, and his eye sockets instantly turned red.

Professor!!

Heedless of the attacks he would suffer, he rushed straight behind old Pu Te and desperately dragged the middle-aged man back.

Unlike old Pu Te and An Ge Si and their ilk, it was a steadfast faith akin to that of zealots.

Watching old Pu Te being dragged, his intestines strewn across the ground.

At this moment, Anduyin seemed unable to hold back his nerves any longer, bursting into loud sobs.

Why... why is it so hard! Why does every time I catch a glimpse of hope, it vanishes again!?

He wanted to believe in a 'god', wanted to believe that everything Lin An said was true!

But if there truly is a god, why must they endure endless suffering! What have they done wrong!?

Where is the god?

Why has the god stopped helping them!?

Amid violent emotional swings, the faith lines on Anduyin's body seemed on the verge of snapping at this moment.

Anduyin seemed to cling to his last shred of fantasy, unable to help looking at Lin An, and with a plop he fell to his knees.

He could understand what those third-rank beings outside were actually saying.

Those coming to kill them are not just these third ranks, but even more powerful beings! And Lin An, whom they regard as a god's incarnation, seems to have no recourse!

Just like ordinary people, they are utterly powerless to resist!

"Sir!! I beg you, tell me.. is all this a test!? Is this a test..!!"

"The god will truly appear, you told me.. he is watching us!!"

His voice was choked with sobs.

In an instant, Lin An felt the Faith Power of many converts surging in unison, and immediately realized that if faith were shaken, he, as its absorber, would suffer a strong backlash.

But faced with this, Lin An's eyes showed no emotional fluctuation; he merely gave Anduyin a silent nod.

Yes, from a certain angle, he did indeed deceive Anduyin and the others.

But, his mindset having undergone a massive shift, Lin An doesn't mind becoming a true 'god'.

"Do you still remember the first time you saw me?"

After locking eyes with Anduyin, Lin An spoke softly.

The next second, he turned his gaze toward the distant refugees.

It seemed he sensed Lin An's gaze; the leading third-rank refugee snorted, and the attack he had gathered in his hand simply ceased.

"How? Ling An."

"Now at last…"

Without waiting for him to finish.

In an instant, he suddenly felt a strong sense of unease; in his eyes, the creatures facing him at this moment seemed similarly dazed, all gazing up at the sky behind him.

What are they looking at!!

How did the sky become bright!!

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he hastily turned around.

His pupils suddenly constricted.

In the night sky above his head, suddenly appeared hundreds of dazzling fireballs, rapidly expanding at an unimaginable speed!!

"Boom! Boom! Boom boom! Boom!"

Its speed exceeds sound!!

When the top speed exceeds thirty-seven times the speed of sound, by the time the sound reaches his ears, the infinitely magnified fireballs finally become visible!!

Only seen amidst the dazzling light produced by intense friction were one after another artificial metal cabins resembling missiles.

As the distance rapidly closed, he suddenly sensed that inside these combat cabins, all actually possessed a third-rank aura!!

With the eruption of over three hundred third-rank auras, they suddenly combined into a terrifying pressure.

Not only that.

In the rapidly descending light, a silver giant bear, like a demon god, frantically accelerated.

Shockwave acceleration!

"Boom boom boom! Boom!"

His body withstood the flames; relying on immense physical strength, Zhang Tie's eyes blood-red, through full-force eruption of psychic power driving, he forcibly pushed his speed to break through to Mach 64!!

Continuously breaking the sound barrier, the dazzling psychic light left behind an explosive shockwave in his wake!!

Thanks to the fourth-stage five-senses ability, he instantly spotted the enemy's third-rank group!!

Instantly locked on and accelerated!!

"Lin Dui!!"

With a roar, the moment near the ground arrived!!

Zhang Tie, exceeding extreme speed, violently recoiled to a halt!!

Only saw him, while roaring, raise his right hand as a huge war spear explosively shot out.

"Whoosh!!"

Empowered by Fourth Stage strength, this spear seemed to turn into a beam, suddenly shooting toward the refugees' third ranks!!

Carrying immense kinetic energy and Fourth Stage power, this shot could not be withstood even by a Fourth Stage!!

"Boom!!"

The war spear burst forth, instantly striking thirteen fleeing people into blood mist.

Only in the moment they turned into blood mist were they again evaporated by the high temperature generated from high-speed friction.

One second later, only a blaze was seen burning in the air, and under the might of this shot, it actually ignited all the air along the gun's path.

Not only that, when this shot instantly killed the fleeing Third Rank, the subsequent gun barrel striking the mountain body, like a nuclear bomb bombardment, erupted with extreme destructive power, instantly blasting the entire mountain peak apart and piercing through.

The earth trembled, the mountains shook.

Everything happened too fast!

On the ground, the originally large group of desperate believers now all had their mouths agape in shock.

In their eyes, the immensely powerful Third Rank Awakened One, before this silver giant bear, was like an ant instantly killed!

Under the terrifying Fourth Rank aura to the extreme, they even felt that this silver-white giant bear was practically an incarnation of a deity!

Is this coming to save them!?

Is this the true god!?

Compared to the believers instantly excited to the point of being unable to extricate themselves, they were no better off.

Not far away, the surviving Third Rank of the fortunate Black Gold Safe Zone, now like frightened fools, couldn't help trembling all over.

Everyone's faces were horrified to the point of despair; under such a terrifying scene, they felt their scalps were about to explode!

It's too terrifying!!

What on earth is this monster!!?

Fourth Rank! Absolutely Fourth Rank!

After instantly killing that group of Truth Society members with a single blow, that shot actually destroyed a mountain!

Not only that, they simply couldn't imagine what exactly were inside those combat pods still rapidly descending in the sky!

It is obvious, whether it's the Third Rank army rushing down like meteors, or this terrifyingly extreme super existence.

These 'people' are all here to save Ling An!

Who exactly are they trying to kill!?

There's no time to think too much.

In extreme shock and fear, the shockwave from the shot blasting toward the mountain erupted like a nuclear blast.

The wind howled, and the violent shockwave instantly engulfed Heiges and others in their fear.

And at the moment the shockwave formed.

In the eyes of the masses of believers, the god‑like giant figure roared again and then charged straight at Lin An.

Bang!!

After smashing the ground with his right hand to unleash a protective prop, and as a blue light shield enveloped everyone, Zhang Tie at last drew a deep breath, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Lin An.

All that could be seen was this terrifying existence that, in people's eyes, seemed like a demon god descending.

At this moment it trembled all over, as if about to cry, gazing at Lin An.

Zhang Tie could feel that, in his memory, Lin An had always been immensely powerful, but now he had become extremely weak, his vitality nearly exhausted.

He couldn't imagine, nor dare to think, what Lin An had endured during this time.

Unable to suppress his excitement and sorrow any longer, Zhang Tie fell to one knee with a plop, as if blaming himself.

Lin Dui...

Sorry..

We came too late!!

The voice, choked with sobs, once again stunned Anduyin and the others.

In their eyes, Zhang Tie's strength had already surpassed their imagination's limits, as mighty as a deity from myth!

But looking at the scene before them, they only felt they could no longer comprehend what was going on.

Lin Dui!?

Before Anduyin and the others could recover from their shock.

After several seconds, under hundreds of violent impacts, column after column of sky‑rising dust clouds shot toward the sky.

Under the continuous violent impacts of the falling pods, the entire battlefield seemed to tremble.

All that could be seen was, as the combat pods smashed into the earth like falling stars, Third Rank Awakened One soldiers burst out instantly, rushing toward Lin An like a flood at top speed.

Everyone's faces were excited, fervent.

In an instant, the 304 communication commands were instantly transmitted to space.

Request support! Initiate war assembly! We have found Lord Lin An!

Above the 42,000‑kilometer near‑Earth orbit, inside the command room, a flash of red light suddenly shone.

Beep, Commander Lin An detected.

Space transfer order ready.

Attention all combat personnel! After the commander confirms the highest order, the transfer will be activated in 10 seconds!
