Chapter 294: True—Terrifying Divine Selection!

~6 min read 1,188 words

The Nobility was completely stunned in place.

All the charging Dead Spirits soldiers also halted, their red Prosthetic Eyes flashing wildly, and the sizzling of overloaded electronic cores rose and fell.

Although low‑level Dead Spirits hardly have any self‑rituals, the other higher‑rank Dead Spirits units all stared at the scene, feeling a dream‑like sensation they hadn't experienced since becoming Dead Spirits.

"A ordinary Astra monk single‑handedly destroyed the floating Obelisk powered by a Black Stone core?"

In the Dead Spirits' understanding, only the Emperor, an Original Body, or a Star God Fragment could achieve that!

Earlier many Dead Spirits thought the Nobility's talk of a "Star God disguised as a human" was a corrupted personality core.

But now, watching this absurd scene, watching the golden figure that slashed Dead Spirits like mowing grass, watching the mortals behind him whose combat power surged to absurd levels, all the Dead Spirits' electronic cores were thrown into unprecedented turbulence.

"Crazy... all crazy..."

A high‑rank Dead Spirits unit's communicator emitted intermittent static, and it instinctively stepped back half a step.

In the control tomb, the Nobility also watched the footage from the front line, the red Prosthetic Eye glowing as if about to burn, and the metallic body trembling uncontrollably.

It wasn't fear, it was anger, and even despair.

He is the Governor personally appointed by the Silent King over the Alert Star Black Stone node, and the construction of the spirit‑driving dead zone across the entire Alert Star falls within his jurisdiction.

Now not only has a band of human remnants slammed his face, even the floating Obelisk was blown up by a single Astra.

If this continues, the entire Black Stone array might truly be overturned by these humans.

Who doesn't know the Silent King's temper throughout the Dead Spirits dynasty?

If the mission fails, even if he has a hundred usable bodies, they will be thrown into a furnace, his personality completely erased, with no chance of replicated rebirth.

"All forces, assemble fully, and also unlock the authorization for heavy weapons."

After a long silence, the Nobility's communicator emitted an electromagnetic pulse of extreme dead silence.

"Even if I destroy this Black Stone array, I still want these humans..."

"Shatter them to pieces!"

The moment the command was issued, the Dead Spirits that had been hesitating at the rear suddenly sprang into action.

Dense masses of Dead Spirits surged like a tide, charging toward the main Obelisk array.

In the sky, a dozen floating Obelisks rose like a high wall, slowly pressing forward.

On the ground, the mechanical legs of heavy Dead Spirits vehicles trampled the glass terrain, repeatedly producing a dense, crisp sound of shattering glass.

On the battlefield, the remnants' breathing grew increasingly labored.

Even with Xisi's Hundredfold Amplification, even though they are fearless, facing the endless tide of Dead Spirits, their stamina and ammunition consumption remained astonishingly rapid.

The Black Watch soldiers had emptied their last magazine, and, with bayonets affixed to their rifles, they stubbornly held the front line.

Danika's Power Armor was slashed by several Gauss rays, blood streaming down the armor seams, yet she still gritted her teeth and pulled the trigger.

After three days of solo blasting floating Obelisks, Sakan, leaning on his Power Sword riddled with gouges, breathed heavily, his black skin covered with green metal shards, still staunchly blocking the refugees' iron cage.

The Dead Spirits army kept swelling, dense swarms of living metal silhouettes stretching beyond sight, encircling the entire Obelisk array with no escape.

Even Xisi, under Black Stone suppression, forcing his divine power to stand firm with Hundredfold Amplification, now felt a sense of depletion.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that the opposing Dead Spirits finally came to their senses, seeming resolute that if they could destroy themselves, sacrificing this Black Stone array wouldn't be an unreasonable resolve.

Even at this moment, despite the chaos, Xisi didn't even look back; he knew the remnants behind him had no intention of retreating.

Sakan even stood before the iron cage that held many women and children, discarding his Explosive Gun that had long run out of magazines, and gripping his Power Axe tightly.

"Charge forward and behead their commander."

Dead Spirits also have a governance pact; as long as the supreme commander is killed, the unit temporarily loses control.

But looking at the dense Dead Spirits forces before him, and the towering giant Obelisk opposite.

At the thought of charging forward, the remnants' faces showed no fear, only a fleeting, resigned melancholy.

Then, just as Xisi prepared to lead the charge forward, a dense barrage of Explosive Gun fire suddenly erupted from behind the Dead Spirits!

It wasn't the shriek of Dead Spirits' Gauss rays, but the heavy, air‑rending roar unique to the Astra‑made Explosive Gun.

"Reinforcements!"

"It's reinforcements!!"

A few forward remnants suddenly rejoiced.

Xisi also stopped in place to look, seeing the Dead Spirits that had been flanked looking extremely panicked.

Many Dead Spirits that had been charging at Xisi halfway quickly swung their barrels and fired back.

Although his view was blocked by dense Dead Spirits and Obelisks, seeing their panic sparked a hint of doubt in Xisi's eyes.

Even Sakan beside him sensed something amiss.

"These reinforcements are quite strong."

Sakan, rarely showing any tone, remarked, after all, seeing the Dead Spirits' forward‑then‑backward actions.

And the subsequent combat was visibly striking from the ground into the interior of the Obelisk.

Such penetration ability even made Xisi look up in admiration.

Even Xisi couldn't help his curiosity—could it be a Black Gold 101 stationed on the Alert Star?

After all, from start to finish Xisi only heard the Explosive Gun's roar, with no engine or heavy weapon sounds.

In other words, while he drew the Dead Spirits' attention, the humans that flanked him were a team composed entirely of infantry.

Such extraordinary individual firepower, aside from his own Black Gold 101, Xisi could not think of any other Galactic unit possessing it.

But not understanding it at this moment didn't stop Xisi from beating the downed dogs.

Seeing the Dead Spirits' line in total disorder, Xisi stepped forward, raised the Red Sword, and charged at the Dead Spirits.

Behind him, the reinvigorated remnants also surged forward, beginning an unrivaled onslaught among the Dead Spirits.

Soon, as Xisi also fell beneath the giant Obelisk, massive dense self‑detonations began inside the Obelisk, and the surrounding Dead Spirits' movements instantly slowed!

Then, as the Obelisk collapsed, when Xisi curiously looked toward the breach, hoping to see if his 101 emerged, a figure clad in blue Power Armor burst out of the opening.

At the same time, the blue silhouette also stared with extreme astonishment at the group of human allies who were actually killing the Dead Spirits head‑on.

And compared with the blue silhouette's astonishment, Xisi, after seeing the other's thick‑faced expression, found his own surprise was no less than the other's.

Staring at the opponent's resolute face and the four golden studs on his forehead, Xisi was stunned for a while, then suddenly spoke:

"No!"

"How come this Terrifying Abuse Divine Chosen Tai Tu Si also came???"
