Chapter 700 Even Stronger
The body of that evolved warrior shattered into the finest powder in a fraction of a second, but the terrifying destructive power of the Apostle of the Sea's "Crush" had not been fully expended, and the tremor of the earth beneath their feet grew stronger and stronger.
Tank-class warrior number 886 swung its blade and severed the head of a sea beast, but before it could retreat, the tremor on the ground reached its feet.
Almost at the same time, the steel body of the tank warrior began to crack. Starting from its legs, hideous cracks quickly spread across its entire body.
The coolant pipes were torn apart, and scalding liquid sprayed out like the tank warrior's blood.
Crack!
Its legs shattered!
Its body split open!
Its head was annihilated!
A tank warrior capable of withstanding dozens of direct hits from small missiles disintegrated in less than two seconds after being affected by the Apostle of the Sea's "Crush" Divine Descent, becoming a pile of silver steel debris that scattered across the battlefield in the wind!
"The destructive power of each of its attacks… has already exceeded the power of the Dongfang-119 missile," the satellite monitoring personnel responsible for monitoring the battlefield said, their faces pale as they stared at the energy display on the satellite screen.
On the energy display, the color of the energy display around the Apostle of the Sea turned a deep red with each use of the Crush Divine Descent.
It was like a punching machine in the human world.
The deepest black level was the highest, representing the power of a heavy nuclear weapon.
The next level down was light black, representing the power of a light nuclear weapon.
And the third level was deep red, representing the power of a large missile with a blast radius of more than 150 meters.
Among the various conventional missiles that humans currently possessed, most non-nuclear missiles had a kill radius of only a few dozen meters. Even the EU's famous large cruise missile, Tomahawk, only had a kill radius of about 90 meters.
In other words, the Apostle of the Sea was now like a heavy artillery platform rampaging across the battlefield.
It had a fast attack speed, fast movement speed, and would almost never run out of firepower!
How could they deal with such an enemy?
"It has a vital weakness… its vital weakness is the throat bone of the giant python head in the middle!" At that moment, a general suddenly seemed to remember something and said urgently, "If we can destroy it, we can kill the Apostle of the Sea!"
Li Zhi suddenly reacted.
When the three great apostles besieged Kuangxi Island, Li Tianran used his ability to see the location of their vital weaknesses and announced it to the human world.
"That's right! That's right! As long as we hit its vital weakness, we can end this war!" Li Zhi clenched his fists, his breathing became heavy, and he immediately ordered, "Have the satellite lock onto its position, spare no firepower, and focus all our fire to break through its defenses!"
With Li Zhi's order, all the missile silos on the entire defense line were aimed at the Apostle of the Sea. The next second, the entire defense line wall was spitting out powerful firepower like crazy.
Missiles, like fiery dragons dancing in the sky, kept bombarding the Apostle of the Sea.
To be precise, they were bombarding the location of the Apostle of the Sea's middle head.
The Apostle of the Sea's massive size was nearly a kilometer, and its giant python head was also the size of an ordinary truck head, so the shooting difficulty was not too high.
The artillery fire quickly engulfed the Apostle of the Sea.
The violent explosions were deafening, causing many of the nearby sea beasts to vomit blood.
"First round of salvo, 70 T1982 missiles, 65 T83 missiles, 20 T2030 missiles!" The operations personnel loudly reported the data of this round of fire. On the satellite data map in front of them, the energy reaction in the area subjected to the artillery fire had reached an extremely deep red color, as if it was about to drip blood.
In this round of bombing, the 82-type missiles were armor-piercing, ground-penetrating bombs, the 83-type were fragmentation bombs, and the 2030-type were high-explosive bombs.
This was a bombing tactic that human civilization had developed after several battles with ancient civilizations.
To deal with second-stage evolvers, who were thick-skinned, tough-fleshed, and tenacious, ordinary missiles could not break through their defenses. First, armor-piercing bombs had to be used to break through their epidermal skeletal defenses, then fragmentation bombs were used to enlarge the wounds, and finally high-explosive bombs were used to deliver a fatal blow.
The effectiveness of this bombing tactic had been well proven in the wars on the human defense line over the past period of time and was absolutely effective.
Hundreds of sub-sequence followers had died under this bombing tactic, their corpses scattered across the ground.
The smoke from the explosions enveloped the battlefield.
Inside the command hall, Li Zhi and a group of generals stared intently at the screen.
"How is it? Have you detected its life signs and energy reactions?" Li Zhi asked in a low, trembling voice.
The staff quickly controlled the satellite on the console with both hands, causing the satellite to continuously emit detection signals to detect the area covered by artillery fire.
Soon, a look of excitement appeared on the staff's face.
"Commander! According to the energy reaction display, the Apostle of the Sea's life signs are constantly declining! It has been severely damaged!"
At this time, on the satellite life energy display screen, the pure black light spot that had previously represented the Apostle of the Sea had now turned into the same blood red as other second-stage evolved creatures, and this color was gradually changing to a lighter color.
Carmine… orange…
Finally, it turned into the same light red as an ordinary Beast King!
The generals present all breathed a sigh of relief, and some even cheered on the spot.
A feeling of elation, as if a shadow covering their hearts had been lifted, took over everyone's mind and body.
The continuous weakening of life energy meant that the Apostle of the Sea had been severely injured and had even fallen into a state of near death.
This was an extremely huge joyous event for both Li Zhi and the entire human civilization!
But… before Li Zhi and the others could rejoice for a few seconds.
The staff member's voice suddenly became sharp. He stared at the satellite screen in disbelief. The light reflected on his face from the screen quickly turned scarlet again.
"No… no, no, the Apostle of the Sea's life energy is rapidly recovering and soaring!"
"This recovery speed is too fast!"
"It only needs five seconds to return to its peak state!"
Li Zhi was stunned. He suddenly reached out and roughly pulled the staff member away, sat in front of the satellite screen himself, and stared intently at the area where the Apostle of the Sea was located.
The light red spot that had previously represented the Apostle of the Sea's life energy reaction quickly recovered to deep red in a few seconds.
Then the red gradually disappeared and began to turn black.
Extreme black.
As if it were a black hole, as if it were the Netherworld.
Its black was more intense and profound than before.
This meant that the Apostle of the Sea was not injured at all!
It had even become more powerful than before!
