166: Chapter 166 The Terrifying Combat Power Brought by Higher-Level Materials!

Either the materials were limited, or they were constrained by the inherent limits of the wonder statues themselves.

The Strategists from various countries gradually stopped their actions, concluding the infusion.

After finishing the infusion, the wonder statues of each country, like the Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow, came to life and landed on the edge of the arena, waiting quietly.

Only the Strategists from three countries continued to infuse the materials in their hands.

Chen Aoyun looked toward the USA.

The tower-climbing height of the USA was 555 floors, meaning the USA Strategist had 55 pieces of tower materials in hand that reached the highest quality: Star Grade!

The statue of liberty was truly worthy of being considered a wonder in the famous Old Era game, Civilization VI.

After bearing all 500 previous tower materials, it did not have a single crack.

The USA Strategist continued to infuse it with the highest quality Star Grade tower materials.

One piece, two pieces... ten pieces, twenty pieces... When all 55 Star Grade materials in hand were infused one by one, the statue of liberty, apart from emitting an even more intense power of the wonder, showed no signs of collapsing or exploding!

The same situation was happening with Russia.

the motherland calls was just like the statue of liberty; no matter how many materials were infused, the wonder itself remained as steady as Mount Tai.

Because Russia had climbed to a higher floor, the Star Grade tower materials Russia infused into the motherland calls were even five pieces more than those of the USA!

the motherland calls and the statue of liberty.

Both were household names in the Old Era, so it was within Chen Aoyun's expectations that they could absorb so many high-quality tower materials.

What Chen Aoyun did not expect was the Sakura Country's benkei colossus.

The Sakura Country's tower-climbing result finally settled at 499 floors, meaning they held a full 99 pieces of Dawn Grade tower materials, with light swirling and energy radiating menacingly.

Chen Aoyun's brows furrowed imperceptibly. In his understanding, the benkei colossus could absolutely not surpass the Ottoman's mount nemrut colossus, whether in terms of historical fame or cultural symbolic significance.

However, it was not like that when infusing materials!

When the Ottoman colossus began to moan and show cracks after infusing the 12th piece of Dawn Grade material,

the Sakura Country's benkei colossus was like a bottomless black hole, ruthlessly devouring the materials being fed into it.

Twelve pieces, thirty pieces, sixty pieces... until all ninety-nine pieces of Dawn Grade materials were fully absorbed, the colossus remained as steady as a rock, emitting a perfect luster throughout its body, without even the slightest crack appearing!

This was very unreasonable!

"Could it be that my knowledge is shallow? Is the benkei colossus a more famous wonder that can better bear the weight of civilization and the power of humanities compared to the mount nemrut colossus?"

As a transmigrator, Chen Aoyun dared not claim he understood everything about the Old Era. Regarding the current strangeness of the benkei colossus, Chen Aoyun could only attribute it to his own lack of deep knowledge.

Rumble—

All the wonder statues had finished their infusion.

Accompanied by the roar of the rules, all the wonder statues descended to the edge of the arena:

The USA's statue of liberty stood imposingly, the fire of rules burning fiercely on its torch, illuminating a corner of the void;

Russia's the motherland calls pointed its giant sword diagonally, its majestic fighting spirit like a tangible substance, pressing down until it was hard to breathe;

Even the Ottoman's mount nemrut colossus emitted an ancient and heavy pressure, making one dare not underestimate it.

Among this group of wonders that were either majestic, imposing, or mysterious, the Dragon Country's Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow seemed exceptionally... garish. It was like a funny animal that had wandered into a national-level summit, completely out of place with its surroundings.

At this moment, the Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow at the edge of the arena was staring ahead with its "wise" eyes, its sexy lips slightly parted, three hooves in the air, one hoof stepping on the swallow, as if in the next second it would charge toward its opponent with a reckless, uncoordinated gait.

The content mentioned in [Act 2 Rule 2] was: Randomly pair up for combat.

A huge light screen appeared above the arena, with the names of the countries jumping on the screen. Soon, the matchup list for the first round of random combat was released.

Chen Aoyun's luck was not bad; the country listed alongside the Dragon Country on the light screen was France.

Although the French had climbed much higher than the Dragon Country, the wonder they outlined was a bit lackluster, and they didn't dare to continue infusing tower materials once they reached the Gold Grade.

Coincidentally, the materials the Dragon Country infused also only reached the Gold Grade.

The Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow was infused with 73 pieces of Gold Grade, while the French infused 99 pieces.

Although the gap was as high as 26 pieces, in essence, neither side's wonder exceeded the Gold Grade limit, so it was a fight!

The arena in the space was divided into different combat zones. The zones didn't look big from afar, but when the wonders landed, everyone was shocked to realize that even a single arena was the size of ten football fields, allowing the wonders to fight freely within it!

Chen Aoyun, as the Strategist, didn't need to operate anything; the wonders that landed in the arena would fight on their own.

The Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow was fighting a French wonder whose name Chen Aoyun couldn't recall.

The battle began.

The Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow charged toward its opponent with a reckless, uncoordinated gait.

The whole scene was filled with an extremely discordant, yet inexplicably anticipated... bizarre aesthetic where comedy and solemnity coexisted, and absurdity and confidence flew together.

"How can a horse fight? And it's so ugly! Appearance is combat power. The French wonder carries more materials than the Dragon Country's, so won't the Dragon Country's wonder statue get beaten up by the French?"

The battle with the French wonder began!

Just as many people were holding back laughter, waiting to see how the Dragon Country's "ugly horse" would be rubbed into the ground by the French wonder—

Boom! Boom!

On the adjacent arena, two waves of destructive energy shot into the sky!

Russia's the motherland calls just slightly shook its giant sword, and an invisible shockwave swept out. The opposing Roman wonder didn't even last a second; it instantly disintegrated like a sandcastle, annihilating into the most basic rule light spots!

Almost at the same time, in another area, the USA's statue of liberty didn't even move; it just lightly shook the torch in its hand, and a cluster of seemingly weak flames floated out and landed on the British wonder.

Whoosh—!

The British wonder was like residual snow encountering a raging fire; before it could even make a sound, it was incinerated into nothingness!

Instant kill! A true, instantaneous kill!

The two battles next door ended the moment they began!

This was the terrifying combat power brought by higher-grade materials!
