Almost at the same time as Vivien's words fell, a scream that completely surpassed all the crazy sounds in the world, almost tearing the sky, suddenly came from afar, only to see the sealed prison that had been melted into a magma lake by the starship artillery vibrated again, and circles of dark red ripples stirred the hot lava, and the black shadow seemed to spread outward from the center of the magma lake.The black-red pillar of light reappeared, eroding the celestial dome of the other space at an even faster speed than before."
it?!"
Even Hao Ren couldn't help but exclaim, he never thought that Nolan's shelling would have an ineffective day, "What the hell is that?!""
There's only one answer, this thing can't be destroyed by conventional means," the data terminal said, "or it's more powerful than the firstborn." ”"Nolan, prepare the main gun!"
Hao Ren immediately connected to the starship's main engine, "Authorize the code for the main gun to fire on the ground in case of emergency." ”Nolan immediately reminded: "The main cannon uses high-frequency ghost energy attacks, and there will be a chance to directly destroy the local alien space structure, and even cause a slight leak to the main material world outside, please confirm the launch order again." ”Hao Ren's face was gloomy, he thought about it, made a decision, but finally nodded: "Confirm again, charge the main cannon, but don't fire it yet-wait, stop charging for the time being!"
”He interrupted Nolan's action as something unusual suddenly appeared at the base of the black-red pillar of light in the distance.A swaying, large black figure rose from the lava and shadows.At first, he thought it was a humanoid monster like the Kuroshio just now, but he soon realized that the figure was a real creature of the main material world, a living person, or at least a living person who had been a living person.One-third of his body was covered in darkness, and some kind of negative force made this person unrecognizable, even from such a distance, Hao Ren could still see with extraordinary human eyesight how terrifyingly distorted and mutated the burly figure was: his body had a strange structure like a bone spur, the left half of his body was twisted and swollen like a deformity, his skin was cracked, and what flowed out of the crack was not blood but hot venom, and his heart was exposed like a bulging basketball.
Almost all of the arteries are beating outside the skin.The twisted creature stood up from the fire and shadows, and then more terrifying mutations began to appear in him, and some invisible power was continuously injected into his body, making his body grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after just a few breaths, he had turned into a giant with a height of more than ten meters, and more terrifying energy fluctuations than this huge body escaped from his body.The giant finished his metamorphosis, he turned his head, stared in Hao Ren's direction, and could not see any reason or thought in those swollen and distorted dark eyes, he raised his head and let out a crazy howl, so that the lava under his feet immediately froze, and then was torn to pieces.Hesperius muttered, "Hercules......"
"Look at him!"
”Vivien flew high and saw more clearly, and she instantly found something of concern in the black giant, "Chest position, could it be the scepter?!"
”Hao Ren looked intently, and sure enough, he saw something like that on the black giant's chest, it was a scepter that had been twisted and deformed, it was inlaid between the flesh and blood of the giant, and the exposed part was completely black, and the end of the scepter was inlaid with a huge red crystal, at this moment, the red crystal had been broken, and there seemed to be a black thing surging in the cracked crystal.Hao Ren judged the position and orientation of the scepter, and realized that it had been nailed to Hercules' chest - and now, as Hercules turned into a giant, the scepter looked like an inconspicuous nail."
Two centuries ago, we nailed Hercules to the sealing stone at the bottom of the cage with a scepter," Hathaway said quickly, "and he did it willingly—to seal the power of the artifact." ”"It looks like he's been completely corrupted for two centuries," Vivien took a breath, "Your sealing methods are just nonsense!"
”"The ship's main guns are ready to fire at any time," Nolan's voice came again, "Captain, did you give the order to attack?"
”The giant in the distance strode forward, and behind him seemed to lead a thousand armies to rise up like a huge wall-like black tide, he raised his right hand and roared angrily, howling to make the magma retreat, making the earth crack, the former heroic hero, now no longer has the slightest humanity.Hao Ren didn't know how Hercules survived the first bombardment, but he believed that this time the main gun of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform should be able to destroy the opponent in one fell swoop, and he had read the explanation and knew that the main gun and secondary gun of his starship were completely two levels of attack.However, looking at the giant's frenzied howl, some intuition suddenly suppressed the urge to give the order to fire."
Don't fire," Hao Ren took a step forward, "......
Cover me. ”Vivien was stunned for a moment: "What do you want to do?"
”"Don't you think this giant has a lot of secrets?"
Hao Ren said as he prepared, "And that artifact, that 'boundary' that I don't know what it is......
One shot is gone, and I'm going to at least bring the artifact back. ”The black giant strode forward and angrily rushed towards the most striking living people in the world, the pitch-black shadows covering his body writhed and rose, burning like flames, and the mutated and swollen half of his body not only did not affect his speed in the slightest, but the black poisonous juice dripping from the cracks in his skin turned into black little devils on the ground, charging with the giant like a legion.This terrible enemy staggered but swiftly rushed forward, and the ground shook with every footstep.The lower armor of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace shrank inward, and after a series of mechanism deformations, a catapult channel was exposed, and more than a dozen silver-white unmanned attack aircraft roared out of the mothership and began to fire wildly at the enemy on the ground.It would be wise to carry some armed drones.A dazzling bolt of lightning spanned a distance of a kilometer and split into dozens of small forked lightning bolts in the air, completely covering the black giant's entire body.The black giant was struck by the lightning, but only shook slightly, and then continued to charge as if he had no feeling.Hao Ren held a plasma spear in one hand and a censor's gun in the other, and met this strange and terrifying opponent under the double cover of drones and Vivian.A single giant is just one of the troubles, the other is the "legions" that are constantly expanding around him.Around the giants, vast expanses of darkness were appearing out of thin air, and more and more monsters were pouring out of these dark rifts, or boundaries, like the prelude to the recent outpouring of the black tide.However, it was probably the attack of the starship artillery just now that more or less destroyed the core of the artifact, and these shadows did not expand at nightmarish speed like the Kuroshio just now, and the monster groups just kept gathering around the giants, and their expansion could be suppressed by the armed drones flying in the sky.The giant led the expanding Shadow Legion forward, on the other side, the armed drones used fire in the air to suppress the Dark Legion that spread everywhere, Vivien's lightning and bat storm also began to contain the giant's hands and feet, in the chaos, a blue light exploded, Hao Ren opened fire with his own pistol.He thought it was close enough, and in this position, the powerful Spectral Spear was enough to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, and it was true that after a single shot, the giant's entire arm, most of his shoulder, and a third of his head were blown away!"
Whew—" But the black giant let out a frantic roar as he looked up to the sky after losing a third of his head, and then endless shadows burst out of his wounds like a storm.What happened next left Hao Ren dumbfounded.I saw that the giant's shattered limbs quickly regenerated in a puff of smoke, and the flesh and smoke that fell from his wounds fell to the ground, and every fragment turned into a furious shadow monster."
Boom, boom!"
The drone's automatic artillery immediately swept away the newborn monsters, but none of them hit the giants: these autonomous combat machines had excellent AI, and they had just judged from Hao Ren's attack results that the giants would not die after being attacked, but would immediately disintegrate countless new entities.Hao Ren's shield shone brightly, he had been attacked by the dark aura around the giant, and the dark minions around him also began to attack him with all kinds of strange powers, he quickly retreated a distance, and then fought back with pistols and spears while looking at the extremely brave black giant.Another shot to try the results?
Destroy the entire body of the giant with a larger attack?
Or what weakness to try to look for?
He rejected all of them, and finally his eyes fell on the scepter on the giant's chest.The optimal solution is indeed this: separate the scepter from the giant first.Although, according to Hathaway, separating the Scepter from Hercules still creates a flow of energy between them, that is because they do not have a more advanced isolation technique.It doesn't matter, what Hao Ren doesn't lack here is high technology.
