Chapter 193 Betrayal and Calculation

Just when everyone thought the war had ended with the retreat of the Ocean Apostle and Star Apostle, just as the Gale Apostle was about to lead its tribe into the Kunlun warship, the figure of the Ocean Apostle suddenly emerged from the sea below.

The terrifying life energy reaction reached its peak in an instant, and a soaring pillar of fire erupted abruptly from the back of the Night Apostle, completely engulfing the Gale Apostle.

This was an unexpected turn that no one had foreseen!

The almost incandescent pillar of fire was composed entirely of lava and special alloy debris, all of which was vented on the Gale Apostle. The terrifying power and high temperature turned the alloy debris in the pillar of fire into an extremely terrifying weapon.

The debris pierced through the Gale Apostle's body, instantly turning it into a sieve.

"Warning! There is still an Apostle lurking in the sea below!"

At the same time, a frantic alarm sounded from the monitoring room of Galewind Island.

No one knew what method the Night Apostle used to conceal its intense genetic life reaction, lurking in the depths of the sea like a boulder, waiting for the moment the Gale Apostle entered the Kunlun warship to launch a ruthless sneak attack.

"All traitors must die!" The Night Apostle's muffled voice echoed across the sea.

The Kunlun warship reacted immediately, and the laser railgun instantly adjusted its angle, launching a frantic bombardment at the Night Apostle.

However, the Night Apostle was a Divine Descent-type secondary evolver known for its defensive power. The laser cannons that were enough to leave hideous bloody pits on the Ocean Apostle could hardly break through the Night Apostle's thick carapace instantly!

The laser cannons fell, leaving only some scorched marks on the Night Apostle's black shell.

A large number of mecha warriors came in formation from afar, and the thunderball at the front of the Kunlun warship also began to gather. Obviously, facing the incredibly defensive Night Apostle, only the most powerful "Valley of Death" could kill it instantly.

"Glug, glug..."

Seeing this, the Night Apostle did not arrogantly continue to stay here to confront the Valley of Death. After hitting the Gale Apostle, it decisively sank into the sea.

A giant city emerged from the seabed silt, taking the Night Apostle into the protection of the boundary tower and quickly fleeing into the distance.

Seeing this scene, the thunderball at the front of the Kunlun warship began to dissipate gradually.

Under the sea, under the protection of the giant city, even the fully released Valley of Death could not kill the Night Apostle. The most important question now was...

The Gale Apostle!

The Gale Apostle, who was suddenly attacked by the Night Apostle, had a body riddled with holes. It fell straight down from the sky like a charred piece of wood. It had already suffered heavy damage in the previous battles with the Ocean Apostle and Star Apostle, and after being sneak-attacked by a Night Apostle in peak condition, its body had reached its limit. It lost all combat power, and even its life aura was extremely weak.

"Your Majesty!"

The followers let out a miserable wail, swarming over frantically and catching the Gale Apostle at the last moment before it fell into the sea.

"Tell…tell Li Tianran that this time, I only brought half of the core crystals! The other half, I will only take him to get it after he sends that woman to… our hands!"

With its consciousness blurred to the extreme and even half of its head shattered, the Gale Apostle used all its strength to leave these words to its followers before it could no longer hold on and completely fainted.

…

"The Gale Apostle has suffered severe damage. Its bodily functions have lost more than eighty-two percent, and its life aura is extremely weak!"

Outside the observation room, Qin Yiming looked at the Gale Apostle lying on the observation platform like a charred corpse through the glass window, and said with some emotion: "Those apostles of the ancient civilization are really ruthless! Their methods of dealing with traitors are really merciless!"

Li Tianran stood beside him, and he saw more than Qin Yiming.

In his vision, the Gale Apostle's spine was blood red, which represented the location of its life defect.

At this time, the Gale Apostle's body was severely damaged, its wings were broken, its left arm was severed, its abdomen was covered with dense blood holes, and even its spine, the location of its life defect, was now stuck with two finger-sized pieces of alloy debris!

If the force of those two pieces of alloy debris had been even a little bit greater, the Gale Apostle would probably be a corpse now!

Seeing this tragic scene, Li Tianran couldn't help but waver in his previous suspicions.

If the Gale Apostle was here to feign allegiance, then this act was too realistic. The Gale Apostle even dared to risk its own life, which was too great a price to pay!

Once there was a mistake, the consequences would be irreversible.

"Have those core crystals been checked?" Li Tianran asked in a deep voice.

"Checked, there are no problems." Qin Yiming nodded.

"Okay, go get some ancient-grade fruits and restore the Gale Apostle as quickly as possible..." Li Tianran turned and walked out of the observation room.

The words that the Gale Apostle left before losing consciousness were very important. It did not bring all the core crystals this time, because it knew very well that once it gave all its chips to Li Tianran in one go, the result waiting for it would be being squeezed dry of its value and then ruthlessly killed.

Li Tianran also had a fierce inner struggle when he was standing outside the observation room just now.

Now the Gale Apostle's followers have been brought to Galewind Island, and the Gale Apostle is in this state. If he wants to kill it, he doesn't need to make any effort or take any risks at all.

But if he kills it, he won't be able to get the remaining core crystals.

"Damn it, I was too careless in the first place... I should have personally cleaned up the Great Desert battlefield and transported the Babel Tower wreckage back!" Li Tianran rarely cursed.

After the battle in the Great Desert, Li Tianran defeated the Babel Tower, but the situation at the time was too complicated. Zhang Shoucheng was still leading people to guard the border, and the Ocean Apostle and Star Apostle were still attacking frantically, which did not leave Li Tianran with time to clean up the mess.

He rushed to support the border line as soon as he defeated the Babel Tower.

After that war ended, Li Tianran was held back by the changes that happened to Han Han, and put most of his energy into the Earth Apostle, which led to the improper storage of the Babel Tower wreckage, which was re-plundered by the Gale Apostle.

But now that things have come to this, there is no use in regretting it. It can only be taken as a warning to avoid similar mistakes in the future.

"After the Gale Apostle wakes up, let it come see me immediately." Li Tianran took a deep breath: "We must seize the time to retrieve all the core crystals!"
