Chapter 450: Fierce Collision
In the pitch-black night, Iron Stone City lit up, as bright as day.
Many people looked up at the sky, their eyes revealing expressions of inexplicable shock.
"Is this... an Arcane Eye?"
"There is actually an Arcane Eye inside Iron Stone City!"
The gods besieging Iron Stone City naturally attracted the attention of many Legendary figures.
Watching the divine meteors in the Heavenly Vault and the Arcane Eyes that looked like fireworks, they revealed expressions of shock.
"What a pity... an Arcane Eye cannot hurt a god at all!"
"Even if the Arcane Eye is known as humanity's strongest weapon!"
The fall of the Arcane City was like yesterday, still vivid in their minds.
For Iron Stone City to use the Arcane Eye to fight against the gods was no different from courting death.
Above the Heavenly Vault, a god struck the Formation with a punch and shouted: "Does Iron Stone City have no trump cards? Are you only going to use this weak Arcane Eye to tickle me?"
Other gods also roared with laughter, agreeing with this god's words.
Boom!
A shot from an Arcane Eye exploded directly in front of this god.
"Pfft!"
This god, who had underestimated the enemy, saw his expression change drastically as a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
He was a god of Weak Divine Power who had ignored the Arcane Eye entirely, not even opening his defenses, thinking only of showing off.
Reality dealt him a massive blow.
He was injured instantly.
However, the Arcane Eyes below were endless; in an instant, a dozen more surged toward him with precision.
This god's expression changed drastically; after all, his mouth was not the hardest part of his body, so he immediately activated his defenses.
But he had already been hit by one Arcane Eye, and his divine body was wounded.
Now, with over a dozen Arcane Eyes attacking him, he found it very difficult to resist.
Following that, the attacks from the Arcane Eyes continued one after another without pause, giving him no chance to catch his breath, and this god finally could not hold on.
He became the first god to fall.
"No!"
This god shouted in grief, filled with immense regret.
He plummeted straight down.
The Formation that had originally been blocking him opened a gap at this moment, letting him fall into Iron Stone City.
He was the first god to underestimate the enemy and fall, but he was not the last.
Above the Heavenly Vault, among the total of several thousand gods and Abyss Lords, over sixty corpses fell under the dense barrage of the Arcane Eyes.
This was only the first round of attacks.
The remaining gods in the Heavenly Vault had extremely ugly expressions, and many gods were severely injured, unable to continue fighting for long!
Even some gods of Medium Divine Power had sustained injuries of varying degrees.
All of this happened within ten breaths.
"How is this possible!"
"This is definitely not an Arcane Eye!"
A god of Strong Divine Power exclaimed.
The Arcane Eye was difficult for even a Seraph to resist, let alone a god.
That the first dense wave of attacks from Iron Stone City's Arcane Eyes could shoot down sixty gods or lords was simply inconceivable.
The Arcane Eye absolutely did not have this kind of power.
"This is the Arcane Eye, inherited from the Arcane City and personally improved by His Highness," Hong Ying suddenly shouted at this moment.
Although Hong Ying entered the game late, she could be considered a fan of the Arcane Empire.
Now, seeing the Arcane Eye display such powerful combat strength made her excited, and also made her feel gratified for the former Arcane Empire.
Above the Heavenly Vault, the Arcane Eyes continued to attack.
Countless fireworks soared into the air, illuminating the entire night sky.
At this moment, no one underestimated the Arcane Eye anymore.
At this moment, all the gods put away their contempt.
"Gods, be careful!"
"Although the Arcane Eye's attacks are strong, they are too clumsy; do not take them head-on!"
The remaining nearly one thousand gods put away their contempt.
"Everyone, join forces to break the Formation!"
A god shouted.
At this time, the gods present were much more cautious than before.
All the gods no longer fought on their own but united to break the Formation together.
The eyes of the Arcane Eyes still looked like fireworks, shooting into the Heavenly Vault.
Each strike of the improved Arcane Eye was comparable to a strike from a god, with extremely formidable power.
In particular, nearly ten thousand Arcane Eyes had long been installed within Iron Stone City.
Nearly ten thousand Arcane Eyes soared into the sky from every corner of Iron Stone City; the scene was extremely spectacular.
Many gods also raised their own defenses to resist the attacks of the Arcane Eyes.
From time to time, an unlucky soul would be focused by the Arcane Eye and fall into Iron Stone City.
The falling corpse would dissipate into nothingness the moment it hit Iron Stone City.
"Kill!"
"Damn it!"
"The living beings of the Sin City all deserve to die!"
These gods and Abyss Lords were already consuming Divine Power to attack the Formation of Iron Stone City, and on top of that, they were being attacked by the Arcane Eye.
Moreover, the dense swarm of Arcane Eyes launched extremely saturated attacks, leaving most gods and Abyss Lords with no choice but to constantly dodge and defend.
Their speed in breaking through the Iron Stone City Formation was greatly slowed!
The collision between the Arcane Eye and the gods was a collision between humanity and divine authority.
It erupted into the most beautiful fireworks and light.
The watching Strong Divine Power beings were starting to feel restless.
Originally, these Strong Divine Power beings had decided to concede one of the five Sovereign Daos to those Medium Divine Power and Weak Divine Power gods or Abyss Lords.
Therefore, they did not participate in the siege, as they were only responsible for slaughtering the strong.
As a result, the situation had now reached a white-hot intensity, which shocked them somewhat.
"A bunch of trash!"
"Iron Stone City is somewhat interesting."
"If the human world were filled with Arcane Eyes, I fear... Iron Stone City could truly achieve what the Ancient Tang Divine Emperor said: let those in heaven stay in heaven, and those on earth stay on earth."
These Strong Divine Power gods held the Arcane Eye in high regard.
After all, humans had truly created a weapon capable of threatening gods.
Of course, there were also some gods who were incomparably wary.
Since the Arcane Eye existed, perhaps more powerful weapons would be iterated and developed in the future, even threatening them.
"Iron Stone City is indeed a Sin City!"
"Humans must not master this kind of weapon!"
"After Iron Stone City is destroyed, anyone who understands the Arcane Eye... must have their soul erased."
"Why must humans think of resisting the gods when they should just be good sheep?"
Cangyan Demon Lord spoke up at this moment: "Everyone, shall we also make a move?
Otherwise, we won't be able to break through the defenses of Iron Stone City for a while."
Although Cangyan Demon Lord's strength ranked in the top ten among the many Strong Divine Power beings, there was still some distance to the top five.
He did not have much hope of obtaining the other three Sovereign Daos.
He pinned his hopes on this Sovereign Dao.
"Cangyan makes a valid point." Wanshou Demon Lord also agreed with Cangyan's words.
There were also quite a few movements among the Strong Divine Power gods on the field.
"Everyone, stay calm; let us ask... for the opinion of the Ice Queen." A god looked toward the Ice Queen.
The Ice Queen's strength ranked in the top three, and she was the leader of the Fourth God Faction.
It was her suggestion to use Ordinary gods as the vanguard and award the Sovereign Dao for breaking the city to those Ordinary gods.
The Ice Queen was dressed in cold robes, her eyes clear: "What you say is reasonable.
However, you underestimate the Arcane Eye.
The power of the Arcane Eye is indeed nothing to us.
But... once one-third of the Arcane Eyes are mobilized to attack a single god in full force.
I fear that no one present here would be able to... withstand it.
The only ones capable of withstanding it are the Masters."
The Ice Queen's words jolted the gods present into realization.
They were all Strong Divine Power beings; the stronger they were, the more timid they actually were, as they did not want to perish for no reason.
If Iron Stone City were to make up its mind to ignore those Ordinary gods and specifically target them, the Strong Divine Power gods, then... quite a few of them would truly die.
It was estimated that about a quarter of the Strong Divine Power gods might die.
"The Ice Queen is right; we can wait for the energy of the Arcane Eyes to be exhausted before we fight again!"
Other Strong Divine Power gods echoed her sentiments one after another.
As for the previous agreement to give the Ordinary gods a Sovereign Dao, no one cared about it at all and simply tore it up.
The Ice Queen's gaze was profound, her eyes filled with anticipation.
It would be better if more gods... died.
Especially... if more were heavily wounded.
Only then would her grand cause and her ideals be realized.
To her, everything in the world was nothing but filth.
Meanwhile, the great battle had been going on for four hours since it began.
Dawn was almost upon them.
Hong Ying stood on the city wall, her expression grave.
She had now been appointed as the Chief Captain of City Defense.
She was responsible for arranging the defensive works on the city walls.
In order to deal with this attack by the gods, she had specifically taken a long leave from the company; it could be said she had staked everything on this.
Now that the war had begun, only sixty-three gods had fallen, not even a hundred.
It can be said that the battle results are quite luxurious.
But compared to the number of nearly a thousand, it is still far from enough.
"The energy of Iron Stone City can only support the Arcane Eye for another 17 hours of squandering.
If a god with Strong Divine Power takes action, this time will be shortened by a large margin."
Hong Ying is very serious about this battle.
Other players are the same.
Especially some players, who are immersed in the game world and truly regard themselves as a member of the game.
"No, we must consume the power of these gods and delay time!"
The task given to them by the Manager is to hold on for two days, and now there is still quite a gap before the two-day mark.
"Execute... the Unyielding Plan!"
Hong Ying instantly looked at the members of the Guard Team beside her.
Today, the members of the Guard Team in Iron Stone City have reached one thousand.
Among them, two-thirds are Legendary.
It can be said to be extremely terrifying!
And the members of the Guard Team are all organized into Guard Team squads.
At this moment, a total of three thousand members of the Unyielding squads look fanatical, watching the battle in the Heavenly Vault and eager to try.
They are divided into three hundred teams, with ten people per team.
One team is led by two to three Legendary leaders, and the rest are all top High-level Professionals.
"A-1 to A-30, step forward!" Hong Ying said.
Suddenly, three hundred Unyielding members stood out.
"Tian-1 to Tian-30, get ready." Hong Ying continued.
Tian-1 to Tian-30 belong to the Sword Wielders.
Each squad has only three people, all of whom are the top Legendary.
Heiniu is the Sword Wielder of Tian-1, and he alone constitutes a team.
They have an arduous task.
However, at this moment, all eyes are on the Unyielding members.
The Unyielding members are the protagonists at this moment.
Especially those few Sin Gods; they know part of the battle plan for Iron Stone City and admire those Unyielding members even more.
Hong Ying looked at these Unyielding members and said loudly: "Are you afraid?"
She used too much force, and her voice cracked a little!
The three hundred Unyielding members immediately roared: "Not afraid!"
The voices were surprisingly consistent.
Among them, one Unyielding member roared: "This battle must be won!"
Other Unyielding members also roared: "This battle must be won!"
The strong wind blew the banners, making them snap and flutter; these players were high-spirited, as if they had truly merged into this scene.
"Unyielding members, fight!"
"Fight with your style!"
Hong Ying said loudly.
And at this moment, a horn sounded, and the sound of drums followed immediately.
The thirty teams of Unyielding members looked up at the gods and the Abyss Lord in the Heavenly Vault.
Without any hesitation, the thirty teams of Unyielding members charged directly toward the densely packed gods in the sky.
Some gods saw this and looked stunned: "Seeking death?"
"How ridiculous, even if we are hindered by the Arcane Eye, we are not something a group of Legendary can hurt!"
Many gods showed disdainful expressions.
The thirty teams of Unyielding members rushed out of the Formation that protected them; they were high-spirited, with fearless expressions on their faces.
Many of them were still carrying injuries, and some even had their divine bodies broken in half, yet they still charged toward those gods without hesitation!
"Blow them to hell!"
"This battle must be won!"
"So satisfying!"
"Burn my broken body!"
As soon as the thirty teams of Unyielding members rushed out of the Formation, they were met with the gods' standing attacks.
However, not one person retreated.
They rushed up, charging toward the nearest gods.
Boom!
That's right, at this moment, all the Unyielding members turned into human bombs and began to self-destruct.
The self-destruction of three hundred powerhouses was extremely powerful.
Coupled with the coordinated attacks of the Arcane Eye, two gods who were already injured were caught off guard and fell instantly.
"Self-destruction!"
"They actually self-destructed!"
"These people are crazy!"
However, before these gods could even sigh.
Inside Iron Stone City, thirty teams of Sword-Wielders instantly broke away from the city walls and charged toward the gods who had been wounded by the self-detonation of the Unyielding.
They were harvesting.
"Kill!" Heiniu swung a fist, striking the body of a god with one punch.
That god was already severely injured and had not yet recovered; struck by Heiniu's blow, his movements were affected.
At this moment, ten shots from the Arcane Eye instantly landed on that god's body.
"No!"
This god roared, and his figure began to plummet.
Heiniu's face was covered in blood.
Whether they were the Unyielding or the Sword-Wielders, once they came out, they could not go back.
Heiniu Slayed a god, and he grinned, saying: "Killing one is a huge profit, killing two is a super profit!"
He opened his mouth, looked at the nearest four-eyed god, and his smile became Ghost-like.
He let out a loud roar: "I leave it to you all."
He charged toward that nearest four-eyed god, and his body exploded directly.
He had transformed from a Sword-Wielder into one of the Unyielding.
The coordination between the Unyielding and the Sword-Wielders happened in just a few breaths, in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, eleven gods fell from the Heavenly Vault and crashed into Iron Stone City.
This scene moved every single resident within the city.
"The Unyielding!"
"The Sword-Wielders!"
Those Commoners were not numb; seeing people die in battle for them, though they were afraid, they were still filled with emotion.
Hong Ying looked at the Heavenly Vault, her gaze becoming wistful: "Indeed, only sacrifice is the most moving."
"I really want to film the battle scene here and let more viewers see it."
Only through sacrifice can great ambitions be realized, daring to make the sun and moon shine upon a new sky!
Beside her, a female player said: "We are all viewers, and all the residents of Iron Stone City are viewers."
"Their sacrifice is not in vain!"
