Chapter 1534: The Path to Godhood 6

The shield is fully charged!

The buff props have been stacked!

Excavate the mountain, prepare to set up a temporary command center!

In the valley blanketed by streams of white light, a large crowd of believers stared blankly as the Long An soldiers had been turned into an engineering unit.

Even with everyone at least at Third Stage strength, the whole valley was quickly dug out; each Third Stage Awakened One was like a human excavator, completely hollowing out the mountain in an extremely short time.

Meanwhile, on the surface, an underground command center with a depth of a hundred meters was rapidly taking shape.

As the strongest and also the wealthiest Long An Base in the world,

The Awakened Ones of Long An naturally also have the most luxurious equipment and props.

Not only that.

Almost every Third Stage was issued a Spiritual Energy Shield upon landing.

As large numbers of Third Stages kept gathering from the surroundings, over six hundred Spiritual Energy Shield props were stacked together, forming a massive light membrane over a hundred layers thick above the valley.

Although it relied on Spiritual Energy for defense, under such insane stacking it became almost solid, tightly protecting the valley.

Are these... the warriors of the God Lord!!

Just how many Third Stages are there!!

After all, Lord Ling An is that person... I heard the whole of Asia belongs to him.

With so many Third Stages... I think Lin An didn't deceive us... people like us aren't worth his deception...

Yeah, I think he might really have come to save us? Really like a god descending from heaven?

Believers, or rather the survivors, were discussing heatedly.

Although after Lin An's identity was exposed, many felt he was not a god, just an ordinary person like them.

Some became more convinced, while others naturally no longer wanted to believe.

But no matter what, upon seeing Third Stage Awakened Ones flying in one after another, everyone realized the power under Lin An's command was simply terrifying.

Setting aside other matters, many previously doubted that Lin An was tricking them to their deaths, tricking them into 'battle,' but now no one says that anymore.

Who needs them? Just the number of Third Stages they see now could probably steamroll an entire country.

Putting it bluntly, these survivors living at the very bottom don't even have the qualification to be used.

God Lord!!

Are you going to wage war against sin!!

What do you need us to do!? We're willing to give everything!

Unlike the survivors who joined later, among the earliest scavengers, a dozen or so fanatical believers reverently watched Lin An.

Although their strength seems unable to match even a single Third Stage, as long as Lin An gives the order, they are willing to die in this glorious God War!

Lin An slightly shook his head, looking at the fanatical believers before him, noticing that Anduyin and others seemed at a loss, unsure what to do.

As for that, Lin An also had no particular thoughts.

He doesn't need these believers to fight; it's best if none of them die.

Although the provided Faith Power had already reached its limit, Lin An also discovered that Faith Power is not like Spiritual Energy.

It exists within if present, and is not consumed if not used.

Faith Power is different; it's more like a real-time current, the kind that cannot be stored.

If any believer encounters a problem, the Faith Power they provide will also encounter problems.

A large-scale collapse of faith will lead to a 'power outage'.

Even Lin An realized that his Fifth Stage state when fighting the Corpse Emperor could, in a sense, be called an 'overload'.

Faith Power is indeed incredibly strange.

Boom!!!

The ground trembled.

A violent explosion sound and shock suddenly came from extremely far away.

In the distant sky, a sudden flash of light appeared, now violently colliding.

Inside the valley, everyone instinctively tensed and looked.

Only see: above the high sky, a slightly larger light point moving at supersonic speed naturally generates intense heat, like a fireball, constantly colliding with the two other light points.

After a few brief high-speed collisions, the slightly larger light point seemed to entangle the other two.

As if tangled together, the three instantly burst forth with strong rule fluctuations.

Spiritual Energy and pure bodily power exploded like a miniature nuclear blast.

Layers of expanding sound waves were terrifying, like an apocalypse.

Under hundreds of collisions per second, the thick cloud layers were violently shaken apart.

If observed carefully, one can clearly see that each of these three light points is surrounded by a phantom layer.

One is a distorted sheep's face, one a red eye, and the other a silver-white giant bear.

Obviously, this astonishing battle capable of destroying a city is Zhang Tie fighting a fugitive Fourth Stage.

But unlike everyone's nervousness, Lin An calmly glanced and then looked no further.

No one understands Zhang Tie's combat ability better than he does.

Perhaps Xiong Hanzi cannot crush a same-level Fourth Stage, but he can achieve instant kills.

But Zhang Tie's Rule Ability grants him extraordinarily abnormal combat power.

Any same-level Fourth Stage fighting him will surely die; even against a higher-level opponent, Zhang Tie can achieve a one-for-one exchange without dying!

To put it bluntly, as long as there aren't large numbers of mid-tier Fourth Stages or a Fourth Stage equivalent to a King-level appearing, Zhang Tie is an invincible existence!

Especially when combined with Gao Tian's Annihilation Ability.

With the two of them working together, Lin An believed Zhang Tie's side could quickly settle the battle!

This was also one of his trump cards for daring to use himself as bait.

But Lin An also knew.

The fugitives, or rather the Annihilator Overlord's reaction speed, were not slow.

Besides the two fourth-stage individuals Zhang Tie is currently intercepting,

Under satellite surveillance, he had already noticed that to the southeast at least two teams, over three hundred third-stage individuals, were rushing at full speed. This force was nothing; Long An's Awakened Ones legion could easily handle it.

The real trouble was the other fourth-stage among the fugitives, and...

The fourth-stage mutants landing in North America from three directions.

"Trigger a corpse tide?"

"Gather all of North America's monster power, or are they reluctant to deploy more fourth-stage?"

Piece after piece of information, like a spiderweb, converged together in Lin An's mind.

Through satellite surveillance, whether the movements of the fugitives or the mutants, to his eyes they were almost as clear as transparent.

From a god's-eye view, he easily guessed the fugitives' internal "decision".

"It seems the Annihilator didn't tell them who I really am..."

A soft chuckle.

Lin An's mouth curled into a smile, a flash of coldness in his eyes.

It seemed that after the Annihilator Overlord betrayed him, they did not tell the fugitives what Lin An had actually done.

However, speaking frankly, Lin An asked himself that if he were the Annihilator, he would reveal that the alien civilization had already been destroyed.

Only if his threat were great enough would this group of death-fearing, short-sighted fugitives try every means to kill him.

Otherwise, the situation would be as it is now, making mistakes over and over again.

What Lin An did not know, however, was how terrifying his actions in the alien world appeared to other races.

Or rather, Lin An himself had not realized what the title "Civilization Destroyer" truly represented.

Single-person star-shattering.

Not only is it unmatched ultimate force,

but more so a kind of cruelty.

a deterrent against all life.
