Chapter 1536: The Road to Godhood 8

God... Is this the power on earth?!

Did you move all of Asia over here!? Or did you empty out some alien civilization!?

It seemed endless, black clouds blotting out the sun.

As dense crowds, the neatly lined Awakened Ones troops kept surging forth.

The few Third Stage brought by Ron all stared dumbfounded, mouths agape, watching the steel torrent before them.

No, it could no longer be described as a steel torrent.

When wave after wave of sci-fi-feeling spiritual energy fighter jets and huge space warships set out, they actually felt like natives seeing aliens.

After the apocalypse, let alone technological creations.

In a place like North America, just turning on a lightbulb is a problem for them.

Besides old steam generators or diesel power, anything even slightly touching modern technology will malfunction.

The defensive forces of major military bases have shifted from radar-guided artillery missiles to Awakened Ones clutching TNT as human bombers. Usable weapons and equipment are almost all antiques from the seventies or eighties.

So.

Why would such a thing exist?

Why are there so many?

Who am I?

Where am I?

Unlike his subordinates who couldn't comprehend any of this, the quickest-reacting Ron took a deep breath, his gaze extremely complex as he looked at Lin An.

"Does Long An intend to fight to the death here!?"

"Did you transfer all your troops here!?"

"Do you plan to hide here? Give that group of monsters a fatal blow!?"

Shocked, bitter.

The clown turned out to be myself.

After Ron finished speaking, he only felt his scalp go numb, his whole body breaking out in goosebumps as if electrified.

Damn! He still wanted to persuade Lin An, but their forces were too few—they'd drown even if they tried to stem the tide!

Now it's fine, the situation instantly reversed.

If Lin An really had a way to deal with those Fourth Stage troubles.

Then when those monsters frenziedly charged in, intending to crush this place with absolute superiority.

I originally thought at most a few hundred, maybe a thousand Third Stage protecting Lin An.

But when we arrived and looked.

Holy shit, millions of Awakened Ones were waiting to come deliver food!

Under the massive firepower, enough to flatten all of North America!

Especially seeing the narrow laser barrels on the warships, and the strange warheads transported under heavy Awakened Ones protection.

Even Ron faintly sensed a hint of threat.

That thing is probably more terrifying than nuclear weapons.

Quantity brings about qualitative change.

If he can't break through quickly, once he's held up.

Ron had no doubt, even a Fourth Stage would be drained to death.

Anyway, he couldn't survive.

Lin An nodded, not minding the shock in Ron and the others' hearts.

In fact, the troops now transferred are just the tip of the iceberg.

Many supersonic fighter jets carrying spiritual energy nuclear bombs and the main few warships were still arranged by him in near-Earth orbit.

He merely transferred the troops easiest to intercept and most conspicuous here.

Pretty much what Ron guessed.

He indeed intended to use himself as bait, ambushing large combat forces hidden behind this to lure the fleeing attackers.

Exposing a bit of strength, like an oil-adding tactic, he would give the fleeing ones the illusion that a little more effort could take him down.

That way, he could perfectly wipe out this pack of rats.

Not only that, even the hardest-to-solve corpse tide and mutants might be wiped out in one fell swoop in this war!

After a long shock, Ron gave a bitter laugh:

"So."

"Do you need me to stay and help you? Those Truth Society people are indeed..."

"Boom!!!"

Before Ron could finish speaking.

Only seen, at the far horizon, a bear shadow inflated to the limit, a hundred meters in size, suddenly crushing a point of light to death.

Like a giant bear embracing the moon, massive outpourings of spiritual energy, like burst water balloons, exploded into splendid fire in the night sky.

And another light, as if reflected, instantly fled in the opposite direction.

However, before it could get far, it vanished like a extinguished flame.

Two Fourth Stage auras vanished almost front and back.

He stood frozen in place.

Ron, like a rooster with its neck choked, stared blankly at the distant sky.

Damn..

Those two Truth Society Fourth Stages have kicked the bucket!?

He stiffly turned his neck back.

No matter how much he couldn't understand why those two Fourth Stages died so fast.

But he watched helplessly as Zhang Tie instantly killed one, and the other Fourth Stage also died.

Luo En instantly realized that under Lin An's command, there was actually another Fourth Stage!

Moreover, his combat power is extremely strong!

That eerie disappearing light spot was clearly from being instantly killed! That Fourth Stage had already wanted to escape!

"You guys hid a Fourth Stage!? Impossible!"

"There are only so many Fourth Stages worldwide! Even if someone relies on cards, they couldn't possibly be this strong! What the heck..!"

"It's a Third Stage."

Lin An spoke calmly.

Unlike the large number of Long An Awakened Ones who had realized that Zhang Tie's side was already over and were now cheering excitedly.

Lin An, who had already guessed the result, felt no surprise at all.

Looking at Luo En, who seemed like his brain had crashed, he thought for a moment and spoke softly:

"If you're willing to stay, then of course you can."

"However, perhaps some things will exceed your imagination."

As his words fell, the shock on Luo En's face gradually faded, like in slow motion, he looked at Lin An with extremely complex feelings.

He gulped down a mouthful of saliva, only feeling that this world was really fucking fake.

Was that just now a Third Stage?

And there are things beyond imagination?

No.

He no longer has any imagination.

"Kid, not bad."

"You actually managed to instantly kill him!"

"Holy shit, this ability is totally badass!"

He bared his teeth and grinned.

In the high sky, Zhang Tie's flesh split all over his body as he slapped Gao Tian's shoulder with a palm, seeming completely oblivious to his own injuries.

He smiled like a brilliant old chrysanthemum.

After expending large amounts of mental and spiritual energy, the already weak-breathing Gao Tian took Zhang Tie's slap head-on, instantly turning deathly pale and nearly being slapped down.

"Zhang Brother.. it's still thanks to you holding them off. Moreover, your ability seems able to disrupt their judgment."

Looking at the ground where only a single Fourth Stage corpse remained, Gao Tian also felt somewhat dazed and excited.

He never expected that he actually did it!

Mid-level Third Stage, slaying gods across levels!

An arrow that almost gathered all his strength instantly killed that fleeing foe!

But he also knows that he could achieve this only because these fugitives simply couldn't unleash their true power.

These monsters are like a Third Stage peak storing vast amounts of energy; with only limited use of rules, they fight in a restrained manner.

Rather than calling them Fourth Stage, they're more like an enhanced version of a Third Stage peak!

Furthermore...

The two exchanged a smile.

Zhang Tie nodded in satisfaction, obviously appreciating Gao Tian's praise.

"Haha, kid, just knowing that is enough!"

"But it looks like our two working together might have amazing effects!?"

His eyes rolled around.

Zhang Tie came to his senses and also realized that his pain-sharing rule seems well suited to pair with Gao Tian.

When Gao Tian locks onto an enemy, his biggest flaw is that the enemy notices it and then disrupts the lock.

At lower levels, enemies can't really notice being locked onto, but in Fourth Stage battles, Gao Tian's ability feels like a shell pressed against the forehead—something any Fourth Stage would notice is off.

But when he shares the pain he would bear with this bunch of assholes,

Great, these two fugitives in pain can't even notice they're being locked onto!

With this cooperation, Gao Tian is like a slingshot shooting birds; as soon as the lock time arrives, he instantly kills the opponent!

But the excitement didn't last long.

At the same time he turned his head, Zhang Tie's smile faded, replaced by a cold snort as he looked at the distant horizon.

"Kid, can you still fight?"

"If you can."

"Fuck them to death!"
