218: Chapter 218 The Shadow King's Slaughter Feast!

Rumble!

In the pitch-black forest.

Every time the thirty-meter-thick mechanical giant foot landed, it was accompanied by the tremors of the earth and the crisp sound of ancient trees bursting.

The steel fortress had completely transformed into a hideous four-legged beast.

"This acceleration is amazing!"

Inside the main control room.

Xia Lai's fingers were moving so fast they left afterimages, her eyes filled with flickering data. "Captain, those 500 points of life essence were well spent! The current torque could stomp right through this continent!"

Chen Du stood at the command position, one hand resting on the crossbar.

In the vision of the [Eye of Truth], a metallic red glow directly ahead was becoming increasingly blinding.

That was Outpost No. 17.

"Report our position. Where are we?" Chen Du said coldly.

"Reporting, Great Captain! High walls detected two kilometers ahead! Hehe, the other side seems to have pissed themselves; the anti-aircraft guns are turning!"

Lin Keke was leaning against the observation window.

Her right hand propped up her cheek, while her left hand held a bag of potato chips she had swiped from the cold storage, munching on them with a loud crunch.

Chen Du's lip twitched slightly, but he ignored her.

This girl's heart was bigger than the Blue Star!

"Nuonuo, prepare the air recoil. Today... we're doing some violent demolition."

"O-okay, Captain!" The petite girl shrunk into her chair, her fair arm already firmly inserted into the gauntlet.

Awoo—

Inside Outpost No. 17, a shrill alarm cut through the sky.

The guard captain was a half-beastman with four iron tentacles protruding from his back.

He tremblingly dropped the cigar in his hand and grabbed his binoculars to look, nearly dying on the spot.

"Are you kidding me... is that a ship? A ship running on the ground?"

In his sight, a three-hundred-meter-long steel titan was braving a net of fire, charging forward in a suicidal dash!

"Fire! Drain the energy pools for all I care! That's a heretic, hit it hard!"

Bang, bang, bang!

A dense barrage of laser beams and armor-piercing shells pelted the front armor of No. 0819 like rain, yet they only stirred ripples in the shadow shields.

"It's our turn!"

Chen Du's eyes suddenly turned cold.

The steel fortress came to a sudden halt five hundred meters from the city wall.

Screech—!

The nitrogen sprayed from the giant shock absorber cylinders formed a white mist that blotted out the sun.

"Keke, do it! Don't save your mana, blast it to pieces!"

"Roger! Hero Lin Keke, transformation start—Roar of the Piercing Stars!"

On the deck.

Lin Keke tore off her cumbersome casual clothes, her cold white skin standing out sharply amidst the smoke.

Hum!

A golden magic circle expanded beneath her feet.

In just a tenth of a second.

A black lace-trimmed mecha skirt suit manifested on her body, and three pairs of aurora wings unfurled elegantly behind her.

In her hands, a five-meter-long magic railgun was emitting a terrifying low hum.

[Cosplay Character: Wings of Star Carving · Lumia]!

"This move is called the Light of Destruction!"

The girl gave a soft shout, her sexy long legs bracing firmly against the deck.

Boom—!!!

A blue pillar of light five meters in diameter instantly seared the retinas of everyone watching!

The thick alloy gate began to vaporize upon contact with the light, like lard being sliced by a red-hot knife.

The shockwave from the explosion sent the wall guards flying hundreds of meters away.

"The gate collapsed, trash!"

Chen Du commented indifferently.

With a push of his toes, he leaped down from the hundred-meter-high conning tower!

The shadow wings behind him were like a demon king descending, blotting out the sky!

However.

The moment Chen Du landed in the plaza, his expression suddenly froze.

On both sides of the plaza.

Inside dozens of hydraulic pillars, naked female survivors were submerged.

Fine tubes pierced their hindbrains, spines, and eyeballs.

Colorful talent sources were being continuously drained underground through these tubes, like battery power.

Some were still breathing, hopelessly clawing at the glass, their dilated pupils staring fixedly at Chen Du.

"These animals..."

Tang Ran, who had landed after him, had reddened eyes.

Her muscles trembled violently, and her [Blood Rage] aura almost scorched the ground dry.

"This is called the Pantheon? It's a slaughterhouse!"

"Since they can't be saved, then send them home."

Chen Du lowered his head, his face hidden from view.

But the shadow beneath his feet had gone completely mad, like a pool of boiling asphalt.

"Kill every half-beastman here!"

"Leave... not a single one!"

His voice was soft, yet it carried a murderous intent that chilled one to the bone.

"Lowly exiles! Die here!"

A hundred half-beastman guards roared as they charged, their machine gun towers and high-frequency blades weaving a net of death.

Chen Du slowly spread his fingers.

"Shadow: Hundred Weapons Performance!"

Boom!

The shadows within a hundred-meter radius suddenly came to life!

Thousands of pitch-black halberds, giant axes, and heavy swords silently stabbed out from beneath the enemies' feet!

Puchi, puchi...

It wasn't a battle; it was a butchery!

The captain leading the charge didn't even finish his scream before being impaled by a shadow spear from his crotch to the crown of his head.

He looked like a grotesque specimen.

For a moment, the screams of the half-beastman soldiers rose and fell amidst the smoke.

"No! This is the power of an evil god... run!"

"My hand! My hand is gone!"

"Devil! He's a devil back from the Sea of Despair!"

The half-beastman guards began to retreat like madmen.

Chen Du walked forward through the blood with an expressionless face.

Every time he passed a living creature, a giant hand would reach out from the shadows and crush the target's cervical spine.

The [sacrifice notebook] on his shoulder was rolling around in excitement:

[Truly delicious! This flavor of rage is the top-tier seasoning! Jie jie jie!]

In just three minutes.

Chen Du had single-handedly cleared the entire outpost.

The ground was littered with severed limbs and weathered mechanical armor fragments.

Right then.

The tremors of the ground suddenly became rhythmic.

Clang... Clang... Clang...

The central building of the outpost suddenly exploded, and a fifteen-meter-tall deep red mecha stepped out from the ruins.

This thing was extremely eerie!

A still-beating human heart was embedded in its chest, encased in transparent glass, with blood vessels and metal wires intertwined.

"High-risk heretic detected. Executing... Extermination Program."

An unpleasant electronic voice came from within the mecha.

The rotary thermal cannon began to spin and preheat, the heat waves even distorting the air.

"Chen Du, I'm going to tear it apart!" Tang Ran wiped the blood from her face, about to activate her health-lock skill.

But Chen Du reached out to stop her.

His gaze looked behind him, a gentle smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

"No rush! Someone... is already impatient to make a move!"

The words had just left his mouth.

The temperature of the entire area dropped to minus ten degrees in an instant.

The burning ruins and the fire-spitting machine guns were all covered in a layer of eerie ice-blue frost.

An extremely cold female voice drifted down from the void.

"Who allowed you... to look down on him from such a position?"

Clang!

A famous blade was unsheathed, the sound subtle and pleasant!

The space behind the mecha seemed to be cut open by scissors, and Xia Mo stepped out barefoot.

The [sword name] in her hand was completely transparent!

With every step she took, an exquisite ice lotus would bloom in the void.

"Lock-on failed?!" The heart at the mecha's core contracted frantically.

"Die!"

Xia Mo's eyes were full of indifference, her figure like a streak of blue light tearing through the sky.

Swish!

There was no sound of impact.

When the elegant long blade was returned to its sheath.

Countless deep blue cracks began to spread from the heart of the heavy mecha.

Finally...

The entire mecha crumbled into a pile of fine ice shards!

Xia Mo turned back to look at Chen Du, her face smiling like a flower. "Chen Du, was I... beautiful just now?"
