Chapter 248: Another Stalemate!
"Hold on, that thing is going to pass." On the deck of the Sunset, several players were holding hands in a row, and the person at the front was holding a railing with one hand and shouting desperately back. , because two of the people behind were obviously about to lose their hold.
In fact, these players are not the crew of the Sunset. They are advanced players who have fought outside before. They were only blown to the Sunset by the blast and hugged the protruding part of the hull to avoid being blown away by the blast. As time went by, the strength of the two people in the middle was almost exhausted.
Although the player in front screamed very hard, and the players behind also gritted their teeth and persisted, the strength was not enough, and the hands they held together were loosening and sliding away bit by bit.
"No, we're reaching our limit!"
"Hold on, don't give up!"
"No way, ah..." A player behind him finally let go and suddenly slipped out, and because of his mistake, the few people behind him who were hanging by him immediately flew out with him. However, this group of players was lucky. They had just taken off and flew less than ten meters when the blast in front of them suddenly ended. Losing the propulsion of the strong wind, several people immediately followed the gravity and fell. However, they were on the ship's deck, so they were not injured.
"Phew, I finally got over it!"
The player at the front let go of the already stiff arm holding the railing and breathed a sigh of relief, but the player who was pulled by him and originally ranked second pointed in the direction behind him in shock and shouted: "Then What is it?"
The players at the front immediately turned their heads to look at the reminder from their companions, while the people behind also looked up, but the sight frightened them.
"Holy shit! Yamata no Orochi!"
As the super typhoon-like blast disappeared, the previous cracks in the space finally disappeared, and what appeared in that area were two figures, one large and one small. The larger figure among them has a typical bird body, but right in front of the body are eight long necks densely packed, and the front ends of those necks are heads like venomous snakes.
Although this shape is weird, there is no one here who doesn’t recognize this thing. After all, we are here just for him this time.
This big guy is Yamata no Orochi, and the little one next to him is naturally me.
Originally, Yamata no Orochi and I were supposed to be so close to each other. The attributes of the Near End of the World clearly state that once inside the End of the End, unless I, the owner of the End of the End, take the initiative to let him go, the only way to get out is to kill me. However, the current situation is - mine is fine, and we are out. And it’s not what I want.
Although this result and attribute may seem contradictory, it becomes clear if you think about it carefully. The method of preventing people from coming out is similar to a kind of ban. This ban is like the iron door and railings of a cell, blocking the people inside and preventing you from getting out. However, no matter how strong the door is, it has its upper limit of resistance. Ordinary wooden doors cannot be opened by ordinary people, but strong people can still break them open with brute force. No matter how strong a person is, a metal security door cannot be broken open, but if you drive a car into it, the security door is actually not as strong as a brick wall. As for the doors of stronger bank vaults, or the nuclear-proof gates of underground military bases, although these doors appear to be indestructible, that is just because they are not destructive enough. Even the gates to underground nuclear bunkers. If a nuclear bomb fails to explode, how can it still fail to explode if it is hit by another one? If two of them are fine, what if it happens ten or eight times in a row? Therefore, there is a limit to what a door can lock.
Although the space inside Juju Tianya will ban people from entering and exiting, this banning power is also limited. Although at present, except for the upper gods, normal creatures, even the gods, cannot come and go freely. But the power Yamata no Orochi had just used was not his own. But the power of faith. He used the power of faith in the core of divine power, injecting a large amount of the power of faith into his body at once in an almost explosive manner and releasing it. At that moment, the destructive power of Yamata no Orochi was infinitely close to that of the upper god. Therefore, the banning ability of Jiuji Tianya exceeded the upper limit, and it was exploded from the inside. The glowing cracks I saw inside the Near End and the black cracks seen by people outside are actually the same thing. They are space cracks, which are the overlap between the space inside the End and the space in the outside world.
Although a lot of faith power was consumed in the process of breaking through the forbidden power so far away. But it has to be said that Yamata no Orochi succeeded. He successfully broke through the forbidden power of Jianchi Tianya, and completely penetrated Jianchi Tianya. Although I can't see it now, I can feel that the main body of Jiji Tianya carried on my arm must have been completely cracked. It's still on my arm now entirely because I wear it close to my body, and it's wrapped with the arm guard of the Dragon Soul Suit, so it didn't fall off. But the close proximity inside is actually broken.
"You can actually break through the super artifact created for me by Heaven, Yamata no Orochi, you are indeed an enemy worthy of attention!" Looking at the high-spirited Yamata no Orochi in front of me, I am now sweating again and again. Although the Yamata no Orochi was tortured miserably inside the End of the World before, as I said before, the main god with the core of divine power is invincible, especially when the power of faith in the core of divine power has not been exhausted.
Although Yamata no Orochi was tortured miserably in the steel needle hell that was specifically targeted at him, and although I trampled Yamata no Orochi hard both physically and mentally, now, everything has returned to its original point. Apart from consuming a lot of faith power, my previous efforts were almost ineffective. Of course, consuming so much power of faith is a major breakthrough in itself, but it is far from enough. Not only has the Yamata no Orochi come out now, but my close-up world has been shattered. Now there is no way to use the close-up world to ban him again. What's more terrible is that relying on the burning of the power of faith, the Yamata-no-Orochima has completely restored itself. state, and because it is now in a normal world, Yamata no Orochi's powerful recovery ability belonging to the gods has been completely revived. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to destroy a main god with the support of a divine core.
In the Olympus Annihilation War, we worked together inside and outside to seal the core of the Olympus Gods' divine power in advance. Then Zeus was besieged by us and his own men for a long time before he was completely subdued. You can imagine how difficult it would be for a main god who can call upon the core of divine power to perform infinite magic replenishment and infinite regeneration!
"Hahahaha..." The eight heads of Yamato no Orochi shook and looked up to the sky and laughed, and then suddenly pointed all their heads towards me, and then showed his snow-white teeth. "Ziri. You humble reptile. Because of you, my plan was messed up. Well, since my plan to counterattack the mainland has been ruined by you, it's time for you to pay the price. "
"Great God." Ghost-hand Nobunaga, who had been suppressed and beaten after the Yamata no Orochi disappeared, finally flew back at this time, and behind him were more than thirty protoss players. The originally more than 100 Protoss players were beaten down to only 30 or so, and Ghost Hand Nobunaga's heart was really bleeding now. But we can see Yamata no Orochi returning. Ghost Hand Nobunaga felt that his hope was back.
"Oh, are you still alive?" Yamata no Orochi turned his head and glanced at Nobunaga. Then he asked: "Why are there only so few people left?"
"Report to the Serpent God, we were besieged by them after you left. These guys attacked us one by one while we were struggling to climb out one by one under the lava. We were outnumbered, and although we resisted desperately, we still managed to survive in the end. These are the only ones left!”
Yamata no Orochi snorted angrily and said: "Okay, I know what happened to you. I will find a way to help you recover later. Now let me get rid of this guy first."
Ghost-hand Nobunaga nodded immediately when he heard this, then turned to me and said provocatively: "Haha, Ziri. Is your plan ruined now? No matter how hard it is, you still can't match the power of our big snake god. Today I will I want to see how you die."
"Oh? Do you really think so?" I said suddenly. Yamata no Orochi and Ghost Hand Nobunaga were instinctively startled when they heard my words, and then they realized something was wrong, but their reaction was a little slower. Just when they were stunned, I suddenly jumped sideways and shouted, "Now."
Buzz... almost as soon as I shouted out, a purple light beam crossed the position where I was just standing and flew straight to the Yamata no Orochi on the opposite side. Because the speed of the beam was too fast, Yamata no Orochi was hit directly without any reaction. But after all, Yamata no Orochi is the main god supported by the core of divine power. Although the beam successfully penetrated Yamata no Orochi's body, he did not die. Instead, he immediately supported a shield in front of him, and then the big hole in his body healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Damn it! What is it?" Yamata no Orochi roared and held the energy shield against the opposite beam, but even after so many seconds, he still could not completely offset the attack power. The energy in his body is flowing away, and even the power drawn from the divine core cannot fully keep up with the consumption rate. So much so that the surface of his skin began to smoke, crack, and finally carbonize.
As a fire-based creature, Yamata no Orochi should not be burned, but it has to be said that this beam is so powerful that Yamata no Orochi's body cannot withstand such an attack. The previous direct hit, which took less than a fraction of a second, directly opened a large hole in the Yamata no Orochi's body, leading from the front and back. This shows how powerful the beam is.
Just after Yamata no Orochi gritted his teeth and persisted for twenty seconds, the beam suddenly went out. Yamata no Orochi, who felt his strength loosen, almost couldn't control his body and fell from the air. But after all, he is also a god, so he finally reacted.
Nobunaga was stunned by the sudden attack just now, but as the attack ended, Nobunaga came to his senses. Seeing that Yamato no Orochi was recovering quickly, there seemed to be no problem. Nobunaga proudly sarcastically said again. I said: "Hahahaha, Ziri, you idiot. Our serpent god is invincible. Do you think that broken beam can defeat the serpent god? Are you stupid now? If you have the ability, do it again? Come on. ,come?"
Ghost Hand Nobunaga is not stupid either. Although the attack just now did not hit him directly, he was so close and he always knew a little bit about the power of that thing. It is precisely because he knows how powerful that thing is that Ghost Hand Nobunaga provokes me like this, because according to general rules, the more powerful the attack method, the greater the launch interval. You can see those fast swordsmen throwing out fifty or so swords in one second, but when have you ever seen a mage throw out fifty forbidden spells in one second? Therefore, the attack just now was so powerful that even Yamata no Orochi could barely withstand it, so this thing definitely cannot shoot continuously. That's why Ghost Hand Nobunaga dared to be so arrogant.
However, it is a pity that Nobunaga Ghost Hand made the same mistake as us. When we first saw this thing, we all thought it couldn't shoot continuously. But people told us with facts that in addition to the normal situation, there is another situation that is less normal.
The first blow had just ended in less than five seconds, and Nobunaga Ghost Hand had just finished speaking. I suddenly smiled and said, "Since you want it so much, then do as you wish."
When Ghost Hand Nobunaga first heard my words, he thought I was bluffing, but the Yamata no Orochi next to him suddenly flapped his wings and flew away all the new protoss players around him. However, when Nobunaga flew out, he also saw a beam of light passing through the position where he was just standing. After Yamata no Orochi slapped him away, the beam immediately moved and aimed at Yamata no Orochi.
Because of his experience, Yamata no Orochi resisted a little more easily this time, but he was still gritting his teeth. This kind of attack on Yamata no Orochi was sure that he would not be hurt again as long as he was careful, but the speed at which his magic power was consumed made him very worried. Because the power recovery speed cannot keep up, Yamata no Orochi has to constantly extract the power of faith to replenish his power. But the problem is that the power of faith in the core of divine power is not unlimited. Use less of this stuff. Completely opposite to our Chaos and Order Protoss, where the power of faith is too much to be transformed. Except for our Chaos and Order Protoss, all other protoss in the world are in a state where the power of faith is not enough. The difference between everyone is only the difference between more and less. There is no saying which one has enough power of faith.
Yamata no Orochi does have a lot of faith power, but this thing was picked up. He himself has not established a complete divine system of his own at all, so the power of faith that his divine power core can currently absorb is the ghost-handed Nobunaga. Those of them provide a very small amount. This is basically negligible compared to his consumption.
In this situation where nothing is possible, Yamata no Orochi certainly does not want to use up the power of his faith in vain, but what can he do? Holding up the shield consumes strength, but if the shield is not held up, the body cannot bear it at all. If you are injured, the cost of repairing the wound is much greater than the consumption of magic power. In comparison, of course it is more cost-effective to hold up a shield.
In fact, Yamata no Orochi is not the only one who is suffering now, our guild is not very relaxed either. The thing that attacked Yamata no Orochi was naturally the defensive mother tree that the main forces of our Chaos and Order Clan could only hold on to with joint defense. We transplanted two strains of this thing on Essinger Mobile Fortress, so we can fire alternately. Considering that the shooting interval of this thing is only between twenty and thirty seconds, so if two trees fire alternately, this interval can actually become no interval, because each shot of the defensive mother tree lasts up to thirty seconds. Seconds and this process is enough for the other defense mother tree to cool down. However, the shooting interval is not a problem. But this energy consumption is troublesome.
Essinger Mobile Fortress is not on the ground, it is flying in the air, so the energy source of the defense mother tree is only the little energy floating in the air, and cannot be supplemented by the energy veins from the underground. This is very bad, because the energy absorbed in the air only accounts for a little more than 60% of the energy consumption of defending the mother tree from attacking, and the remaining part needs to be extracted from the ground by the tree roots. However, Essinger Mobile Fortress is a flying unit. Naturally, we cannot absorb the energy from the ground in the sky. Therefore, this difference can only be replenished by the power core of Essinger Mobile Fortress.
Everyone knows what the power core of Essinger Mobile Fortress is. That thing is a boiler that burns magic crystals. Although the principle is completely unrelated, it is essentially the same as a boiler. The boiler burns coal to output power, and the power core of Essinger Mobile Fortress consumes magic crystals to output magic power. The properties are the same.
There is nothing wrong with consuming magic crystals, but the problem is that magic crystals do not fall from the sky. He needs money for this thing! So... every time you fire to defend the mother tree, it is actually equivalent to hitting people with a lot of crystal coins.
It is precisely because of this problem of defending the mother tree that we are as heartbroken as Yamata no Orochi. Yamata no Orochi feels sorry for the power of his faith, but we feel sorry for our money. Although no one wants to consume like this, the current situation is that it cannot be done like this.
As long as Yamata no Orochi stops consuming the power of faith, he will be killed immediately. Of course, escape is also possible, but the problem is that the collection of power of faith depends largely on one's own reputation. A god who was beaten away by the enemy on the battlefield, who do you expect to believe in him? Therefore, Yamata no Orochi did not dare to run away at all, and could only hold on by burning the power of faith.
Yamata no Orochi needs to persevere, so why don’t we? The situation now is obvious. Yamata no Orochi is stronger than anyone here, and not even a little bit stronger. Relying on the powerful attack power of the defensive mother tree, we can temporarily prevent the Yamata-no-Orochima from attacking us, and once we stop here... I don't think it is possible for the Yamata-Orochima to let us go.
So, now we are really riding a tiger. Neither side wants to fight, but both sides have to fight. This situation is still depressing. And, worse things came next.
"Boss, why haven't you solved it yet?" Masamoto Matsumoto's congratulatory voice suddenly appeared in my communicator, sounding quite anxious. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
