Chapter 671: The Three Phantom Gods Descend Again

Just as Lingyun and the two approached Nilier Island, the spiritual power detectors placed on the island suddenly emitted a shrill alarm.

"A Spirit is attacking this place?"

Hearing this alarm, everyone on Nilier Island felt a jolt in their hearts. As researchers here, they naturally knew that there was still a captured Spirit on this island, and they had envisioned that a Spirit might come to attack this place to rescue their companion. However, they had never imagined that the opponent would be so ostentatious, charging directly at Nilier Island head-on, and even shattering the island's protective barrier in a single blow; such methods truly shocked them.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Everyone prepare for combat! Everyone prepare for combat!"

The alarm resounded throughout the entire Nilier Island, and the whole island instantly sprang into operation. In normal times, this island looked like an ordinary island, but once it began to operate, it instantly became like a monster baring its ferocious fangs, transforming into a terrifying war machine. Countless seemingly ordinary places began to deform rapidly, revealing terrifying war machines.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

Combat robots popped out one after another from hidden passages, and then flew toward the sky.

"Target locked, commence attack!"

After locking onto Lingyun and Tokisaki Kurumi, countless robots opened fire simultaneously, and countless bullets surged toward the direction of Lingyun and the two like a torrential downpour.

"Freeze—"

Lingyun pointed into the Void, and the bullets carrying a lethal aura were simultaneously frozen in the Void.

"This is, stopping the time of the bullets. No matter how many times I see it, I really am a bit envious of this ability," Kurumi said.

"Kurumi, do you remember, in Academy City, the third-ranked A Certain Scientific Railgun, Misaka Mikoto?" Looking at the approaching bullets, Lingyun suddenly said to Kurumi.

"Such an outstanding figure, I have naturally heard of her," Kurumi nodded.

"As the Electric Princess, Misaka Mikoto not only possesses the ability to freely manipulate one billion volts of high-voltage current, electromagnetic waves, and magnetism, but also has extremely powerful hacking abilities. And back then, I happened to study this special type of hacking ability out of a sliver of curiosity," Lingyun said with a smile.

"Hacking ability? Wait, what do you mean?" Even for Kurumi, when she heard this sentence from Lingyun, a trace of astonishment could not help but appear in her eyes.

"That's right, it's just as you think!" Lingyun raised one hand, and a red dragon-shaped phantom appeared behind him.

Subsequently, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and Thunder raged. Countless bolts of Thunder fell from the sky, instantly enveloping all the combat robots. On the bodies of the robots, a layer of Territory simultaneously emerged, resisting the attack of the Thunder, but a small portion of the electricity still seeped into their interiors.

"Quick, determine exactly who the Spirit attacking Nilier Island is!" Inside Nilier Island, several researchers were rapidly tapping on the keyboards in front of them.

"Look, this is the Spirit attacking Nilier Island!" On the screen, two figures hovering in the sky were soon revealed.

"Target verification complete, there are two people in total, one male and one female. The female is the Nightmare, known as the most dangerous Spirit; the male is a new Spirit who appeared a while ago, with the identification name Swordsman. The most bizarre thing is that the spiritual power fluctuations on these two Spirits are exactly the same," a researcher quickly pulled up the data on Lingyun and the two.

"Nightmare? Swordsman? Mere two Spirits, actually daring to attack Nilier Island, they are really tired of living." A sneer appeared on the face of the lead researcher. "It just so happens that our research here has hit a bottleneck recently, and we are lacking research materials; these two Spirits have delivered themselves to our door! Send the notice down, we want them alive!"

"Wait, sir, our robot troops seem to be acting a bit strange!" A researcher said while looking at the big screen.

"What is wrong with them?" Hearing this, the lead researcher approached the screen and asked.

"They seem to have stopped their attack on the Nightmare and the Swordsman," that researcher said.

"Program modification complete!" Lingyun, standing in the Void, snapped his fingers and said with a smile.

"Lingyun, what did you modify their programs into?" Kurumi asked.

"I just slightly modified their hostile targets," Lingyun said.

As soon as Lingyun finished speaking, he saw the robots on the scene simultaneously change their targets and begin to pour their ammunition onto the buildings below.

Many anti-enemy facilities that had just been set up had not even reacted before they became a pile of scrap metal under the bombardment of the robot troops.

"This, what exactly is going on?" The person dressed as the leader almost jumped up when he saw this scene.

"This, this, the opponent seems to have used some method to modify the robot troops' hostile targets; we have lost control of the robot troops. Moreover, the opponent seems to have locked the program; we cannot regain control, nor can we stop their functions!" A researcher was rapidly tapping on the computer in front of him, and a few beads of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

On the computer in front of this researcher, a pile of red alarm boxes had already popped up. That researcher was sweating profusely, but he was unable to break through the electromagnetic barrier set by Lingyun.

"Trash, all of you are a bunch of trash. I said these robots were unreliable, yet a bunch of people insisted this was the best combat troop; now, in front of those two Spirits, they have all turned against us!" That researcher smashed his fist onto the table. "Now, immediately start those defensive weapons for me; I want to turn these robots into complete scrap metal!"

"Yes!" A researcher quickly pressed a button.

The defensive weapons set up on the island opened fire simultaneously, but their targets were not Lingyun and the two, but the robot troops controlled by Lingyun.

Suddenly, firelight erupted, and both sides began to engage in fierce combat. The weapons set up on Nilier Island were all the top-tier weapons of DEM Industries, and their power was extremely great. Previously, they had not used them on Lingyun and the two because the power of these weapons was too great. If they happened to kill the two of them while using these weapons, they would fail to achieve the goal of collecting research materials. But facing the robot troops controlled by Lingyun, they had no such qualms. Under a series of commands, the weapons on the island turned into a powerful web of fire, sweeping toward the robot troops in the sky.

Although the strength of the robot troops was very powerful, the attack power of the weapons on the island was even stronger. Under the bombardment of various weapons, the robot troops flying in the sky soon fell into a disadvantage; from time to time, robots were hit by various weapons, turning into huge fireworks in the sky.

However, the robot troops also displayed a fearless spirit, crazily launching attacks on the weapon facilities on the island, even willing to adopt a strategy of mutual destruction just to make the weapon facilities on the island fall into a silent state.

"Kurumi, leave this side to me, you go find the Second Spirit first!" Lingyun said to Kurumi beside him.

"Alright!" Kurumi nodded, and her figure quickly landed on the ground.

"Come out, us!" Kurumi stomped her right foot on the ground, and the shadows beneath her feet expanded rapidly; one Kurumi after another emerged from the shadows.

"Your mission is to follow the spiritual power fluctuations and find the location of the Second Spirit!" Kurumi said.

"Yes!"

Knowing that this was an extraordinary period, Kurumi's clones did not say much, but directly dispersed and ran toward different directions of Nilier Island.

Watching the robot troops that were already few in number under the bombardment of Nilier Island's defensive facilities, Lingyun chuckled: "Just relying on these robots really isn't enough; I can only take action myself!"

Saying this, Lingyun slowly raised his right hand, and massive Source Power gathered around him: "In my name, descend upon this world once more, Three Phantom Gods!"

Three huge rays of light slowly emerged from behind Lingyun, and the figures of the Three Phantom Gods appeared in this world for the first time; their terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire Nilier Island.
