Chapter 737: Chapter 358: The Final Battle
Even with Meluna holding back the Eyes of God that cannot emerge from the rift, she alone cannot completely prevent them from triggering the bombardment of the Destruction Battleship.
Even if it has turned into a puddle of filth, the gun ports connected to the Annihilation Star Soul still exist, and they can continue to transform magic power to launch attacks from there.
Melegon, riding the Falcon, flew to another combat boat and issued an order to directly break through the defenses outside the core.
The combat boat dragged a trail of crimson light and plunged into a mass of purple-black flesh and steel armor, the shield shattered by the impact, peeling away the surface defenses, a giant gun pierced the protective layer, and as the impact arrived, the internal mechanisms triggered consecutive explosions, and in the bright firelight, purple-black flesh splattered everywhere.
The core that was just defended by armor and tendons could be vaguely seen, but the combat boat was also ensnared by flesh, disassembled with a tooth-grinding sound, and drawn into the body.
Meanwhile, the soft body at the rear rapidly expanded and grew under the amplification of the Light of the Star Soul, stretching towards the City of the Ship’s Rudder, like bloodstained stairs climbing from the ground to great heights.
These elongated bodies aimed at the vessels and shipbuilding machinery all around the City of the Ship’s Rudder, as the Destruction Battleship needs ordinary warships because it seeks their engine energy and ship cannons, but now, at the end of its strength, it is willing to seize any ship components, engineering machinery, and metal scrap to maintain its armor.
"Charge! Don’t let it keep recovering!"
Seven or eight Order Knights formed an array to advance, their Excellence Realm attacks quickly shedding the armor made of ordinary metal, and even destroying the Annihilator Flesh below.
But its flesh part has never cared about destruction; its rebirth cannot be prevented by ordinary attacks.
Melegon gritted his teeth fiercely, this Knight Commander had always been calm and composed, but at this point, he finally showed fatigue and hesitation.
Even for the Transcendent Demon Beast, injury would gradually weaken it, ultimately leading to physical death; it shouldn’t be a rebirth without end.
This action summoned over half of the elite Order Flower Sword Corps, planned to achieve some results even against a Transcendent Demon Beast, definitely not like this, achieving no progress after losing the powerful impact of the combat airship.
An empire influence never heard of not only brought such monsters but also developed and matured in secret, catching everyone off guard with its conspiracy.
Melegon’s understanding of the world has been shaken.
Li Ang can understand him because he too went through a similar process of rediscovery. Jenoside... if not for Li Ang’s ability to use Spiritual Piercing, he wouldn’t have known how to handle its division on Mengze Island.
This world has an additional layer of spiritual truth, even Li Ang, who struggled to become a Tier Nine Curse Master, found himself unprepared and unable to adapt after gradually discovering the truth.
In Li Ang’s view, the Knight Commander’s decision is correct; rebirth needs to be stopped, but ordinary Excellence Realm units facing this Star Soul can only manage suppression, only the impact of combat airships can achieve results through sheer destructive power.
Currently, the only ships capable of combat are the two from the Flower Sword Group; their presence can delay the speed of genocide against the ancient battleships’ assimilation. But one has already been lost.
At this moment, on the remaining combat boat that was grazed by a side cannon, the Order Knights have just begun to reorganize, the side’s rune armor is damaged, ship workers and casters are urgently repairing it, attempting to launch a Dragonpiercer Mode assault again.
On the front of the Eyes of God, star light is being gathered in preparation to pull off the next bombardment.
"Take out some of those cannons first!" Li Ang reminded the Order Knights.
He threw the Vengeance Spear and shattered a turret, but only upon approaching did he realize that though the Destruction Battleship had mostly disintegrated, its writhing flesh and warship body were still like a perilous, bizarre mountain, now standing in front of him.
Destroying a single ship cannon was a drop in the bucket, but with a broadside from a combat boat, it can at least have some impact.
Melegon, carrying two people, could also fly quickly and steadily, after a bout of circling, the sword edge slashed across, and a series of turrets exploded one after another.
However, such attacks cannot reverse the decline; Li Ang can sense Melegon’s mood growing more despondent.
Everything here exceeds his expectations; at this moment, neither the Empire nor their side can be seen as in a desperate situation, heading towards the final scene of life and death, or perhaps mutual destruction is also possible.
He worries for the life of the team members; he hopes for victory, angry at the Empire’s actions, and even more enraged at the black hands named Eyes of God hiding in the Dimensional Rift.
If explained from a supernatural perspective, "Nebis Fantasy" granted many unreasonable powers to the rapidly emerging Holy Speriel Empire for the sake of portraying the plot’s tightness in the early stages, which allowed it to drag the world into destruction even without Zoe’s world line victories.
If explained from a perspective of rationalization, it can be said that Nebis itself is a shattered world, its ancient calamity’s effects still continue to this day, and the Empire merely brings hidden things to the surface.
Residents of the Sky Island, guilds, and Sky Knights, living amidst relatively peaceful circumstances, are actually in an ocean ravaged by storms, only throughout prior ages, they have just stayed on a calm island.
