Chapter 565: Element Barrier Shattered

Xiunimida's storage tank jolted forward, pulled by silver chains; through the distorted transparent barrier, she saw countless energy conduits crawling across the chamber ceiling like blood vessels.

The moment the tank came to a halt in the Number 3 Extraction Chamber, dark red warning lights flashed, staining the entire space the color of blood.

Six giant energy extractors were emitting a low-frequency hum, and she saw the Wind Element Elder, fixed to the central cylinder, being pierced by eight energy probes into their energy meridians.

The Elder's semi-transparent body trembled violently, cyan wind swirls colliding fruitlessly within the mechanical chamber, eventually turning into liquid energy that flowed through transparent pipes into a square storage box.

As the square storage box entered a rolling machine and reappeared, the box had vanished, leaving only a square, crystal-clear cyan energy block.

"Energy block purity 97.3%, structure stable, suitable for propulsion."

The mechanical voice echoed in the chamber as C-712FX manipulated a robotic arm to toss the Wind Element Elder's remains into the shredder.

Xiunimida saw those drifting energy fragments dissolve the instant they touched the Anti-Elemental Force Field, like snowflakes falling into boiling water.

The storage tank suddenly tilted and embedded into the extraction slot, and Xiunimida's back slammed hard against the cold transparent wall.

She heard the scream of a Water Element girl from next door; her pale blue liquid body was pierced by energy probes, and countless bubbles gushed out from within her.

Those bubbles burst with a bang upon touching the magnetic field at the top of the chamber, freezing her wails forever in the splashing water mist.

Seeing that Water Element girl finally turn into a pale blue energy block, Xiunimida saw the high-pressure probe begin to descend toward her own head.

Although Xiunimida wanted to make her body move to dodge the energy probe's attack, her body was already weak and exhausted under the suppression of the Anti-Element Device.

"Fire Element energy fluctuation detected."

As the cold mechanical prompt sounded, Xiunimida discovered her hands were uncontrollably elementalizing.

"Urgh... ah... ahhhhh!"

When the energy probe pierced into Xiunimida's Energy Core, intense pain triggered Xiunimida's body.

Crimson flames shot out from her fingertips, and the Anti-Element Matrix was eroding backward along her Energy Circuit; Xiunimida felt every Elemental particle in her entire body screaming as they separated.

Just in the last second before Xiunimida's consciousness dissipated, her memory suddenly flashed back to the campfire at the Element Altar, where the clanspeople sat around, weaving flames into the shape of a star map.

Just like that, Xiunimida watched helplessly as her Elemental power disintegrated into free-state sparks.

By the time Xiunimida appeared again, she had already become a red energy block.

"Energy block purity 91.8%, structure stable, suitable for weapon charging."

At this moment, inside the mobile base, A-45S saw that the rest time had passed and issued their order in the Shared Consciousness Network.

"All units pay attention, begin the assault on the Elemental Land!"

Fifth Defense Zone, Elemental Land.

Inside the Element Temple, several Element Patriarchs were silent, and the blond man at the very head had a grave expression, having long since lost his previous composure and calmness.

After a long while, the blond man at the head swept his gaze toward the three remaining Element Patriarchs and spoke slowly.

"The technical level displayed by the Cyberk in previous battles was something we could barely handle, but now the Cyberk's offensive methods have increased quite a bit, and they are all methods that can counter our Elemental attacks.

The Zerg don't seem to be having an easy time either; the longer they fight the Cyberk, the greater their losses, and the pitiful amount of biomass on the Cyberk is not enough to satisfy the Zerg at all.

Now the Cyberk's blade is pressed against our necks; we have no way out, only a fight! Tell me about the problems we need to face now."

As soon as the blond man's voice fell, Chidanjin was the first to speak.

"But our brave and battle-hardened clanspeople have suffered heavy losses, and what remains are all new recruits with insufficient combat experience; how can we fight the Cyberk with this?"

Selina blinked her azure eyes and added.

"Most importantly, all of our current attack methods are ineffective; we can only be beaten passively."

The blond man frowned slightly; their current situation was indeed like this, they could only be beaten passively, and the Cyberk now completely countered their fighting methods.

Just then, the Element Rainbow Bridge outside the Elemental Land suddenly began to tremble; even those in the Element Temple perceived this obvious vibration.

The blond man stood up from his seat with a start, his pale gold pupils slightly constricted, and he said in shock.

"The barrier of the Elemental Land is being broken! Everyone, saying anything now is useless; the top priority is to gather the clanspeople of the Elemental Land to head to the Element Rainbow Bridge to maintain the protection of the Element Barrier! Once the Element Barrier is breached, then all our thoughts will be in vain!"

The three Patriarchs naturally knew what kind of crisis the Elemental Land would face after the Element Barrier was breached; without too many words, they quickly left the Element Temple and began to gather their respective clanspeople for defense.

The blond man even consumed his Elemental power to control the Element Temple as a connection point for the Element Barrier, and then let his voice resound throughout the entire Elemental Land.

"My dear compatriots! The Cyberk are attempting to break through our Element Barrier; once the Element Barrier is breached, the Cyberk will slaughter wantonly within our homeland! For the sake of our homeland! We cannot let them in!

Please head to the Element Rainbow Bridge to maintain the operation of the Element Barrier!"

The Element Rainbow Bridge trembled above the firmament, and the energy pipe network composed of seven-colored flowing light flickered on and off.

Emerald cracks were spreading along the transparent barrier like a glass dome struck by an invisible giant hammer, and every tremor shook down rustling light dust.

On the Element Rainbow Bridge, it was full of clanspeople of various Elements; they injected their respective Elemental power into the energy pipe network, and the shattered firmament was reflected in their pupils.

The Elemental power in the blond man's body was being consumed rapidly, and watching the cracks in the Element Barrier continue to expand, just as he increased his power to maintain the Element Barrier again, he saw the cracks suddenly disappear.

The Element Barrier! It shattered!

Seventh Defense Zone, Outer City.

"Lord Vulkan! Lord Angron! An anomaly has been discovered on the city wall; it is suspected to be the appearance of the Demon Alien previously reported by the Military District!"

A Modian soldier wearing a gorgeous uniform ran hurriedly into a tall building, saluted the two people in front of him, and spoke.

The two brothers, who were talking, stood up at the same time upon hearing this news and said in unison.

"Demon Alien!"
