Chen Hao
Chapter 704 Li Zhi's Crazy Idea
"Boom!"
Just then, a brilliant blue energy cannon struck the Ocean Apostle's goat head, the force of which tilted its entire body in another direction.
It was the Mech Berserker taking action.
Immediately afterward, more than a dozen laser cannons containing terrifying energy simultaneously landed on the Ocean Apostle. Although they still couldn't seriously injure it, they at least restricted its movements.
Chakhgehjin noticed that each time the Ocean Apostle was attacked, its three heads would react differently.
The goat head would cautiously watch the battlefield, preparing to counterattack at any moment.
The female head would lie down, devouring the remains of sea beasts and subordinate sequencers on the battlefield to repair its injuries and replenish its strength.
And the python head in the middle would curl up under its neck, in the safest position.
"Burn these corpses… This beast can heal itself by devouring the bodies of evolvers." Chakhgehjin calmly issued the order through the communication headset.
After a creature's genes evolve, in addition to gaining powerful strength, its flesh and blood also become something like a tonic. Even Professor Nan, who was not an evolver, became stronger and aged slower after eating a large amount of Beast King meat.
Ordinary people's stomachs can only absorb a small portion of the power from the genes of evolver flesh and blood, but it is enough to strengthen the body.
As a secondary evolved creature, the Ocean Apostle's genes are even more powerful. Through digestion, it can completely absorb all the "healing and recovery" essence from the flesh and blood of evolvers.
So on the battlefield, these corpses all over the ground are its tonic.
The more intense the war, the more creatures that die, the more excited the Ocean Apostle becomes, and the harder it is to kill.
Realizing this, Chakhgehjin decisively ordered the corpses to be burned to ashes, otherwise the Ocean Apostle would be like having a constantly regenerating buff. The little bit of health consumed by the Mech Berserkers and the evolution troops could be replenished by swallowing a few corpses.
Bang!
Peng peng!
Hundreds of new energy bullets were fired, and flames instantly engulfed the earth.
Although these high-combustion new energy bullets couldn't injure the Ocean Apostle, they were more than enough to clean up the remains of these sea beasts. In just a few seconds, they burned a large number of corpses into charred dregs, completely destroying their flesh and blood, like rotten branches, with no use.
Chakhgehjin gripped his blade, and more than a dozen Mech Berserkers had surrounded the Ocean Apostle, wielding their giant spears, smashing them against its huge body.
"Now's the time!" Chakhgehjin roared, leading the evolution troops to launch a general attack.
With the Mech Berserkers leading the charge, Chakhgehjin had to seize the time, otherwise, once the Mech Berserkers were smashed by the Ocean Apostle, the evolution troops alone wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Facing the menacing Mech Berserkers, the Ocean Apostle roared directly, its giant tail sweeping across the battlefield like a storm.
The powerful thrust suddenly erupted from the Mech Berserkers' lower back, and their mech bodies soared into the sky, dodging the giant tail's attack at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.
Boom!
The Ocean Apostle's giant tail brushed past a Mech Berserker, crashing down on the wreckage of a heavy tank, instantly sending it flying, smashing into the walls of the defense fortress like a meteor.
"Not good... Get out of the way!"
On the defense fortress, a whole squad of soldiers shrank their pupils, quickly dodging to the sides.
Boom!
The tank wreckage crashed heavily into the fortress wall, making an earth-shattering impact.
On the fortress, the soldiers felt as if the blood vessels in their bodies were about to explode. The violent tremors caused many to faint on the spot.
Whirrr...
The heavy tank wreckage was completely reduced to a pile of scrap metal, sliding heavily from the fortress wall.
At this time, a huge dent appeared in the steel wall, which was hundreds of meters thick, and there were countless spiderweb-like cracks on the edges!
The steel materials used to build the human defense fortifications are top-notch, only half a grade weaker than the materials used to build evolver weapons, but even so, they were damaged under the Ocean Apostle's attack.
"This monster, can we really defeat it?"
A soldier on the city wall muttered in a trembling voice.
As ordinary soldiers, they couldn't imagine that even they, far from the battlefield, felt such enormous pressure. How much more terrifying despair were the evolution troops facing, in direct contact with the Ocean Apostle on the battlefield?
...
A roaring sound rang out on the battlefield.
Led by Chakhgehjin, the evolution troops, with the help of the Mech Berserkers, had arrived in front of the Ocean Apostle.
"Kill!"
The Third and Fourth Regiments roared deafeningly, and nearly three thousand people charged towards the Ocean Apostle.
The Ocean Apostle's goat head dodged a heavy blow from a Mech Berserker, and then the female head drilled out from another bizarre angle, biting the Mech Berserker's waist propulsion engine.
Boom!
The Ocean Apostle exerted force, and the Mech Berserker's propulsion engine was shattered. The huge body lost its lift in mid-air and fell straight down.
The giant tail almost seamlessly slammed up, directly hitting the falling Mech Berserker.
The sound of steel breaking rang out again.
The Mech Berserker suffered a "Shattering" Divine Descent attack head-on. Its massive body was sent flying like a cannonball. During the fall, its body gradually disintegrated, and finally exploded!
The Ocean Apostle's attack power had reached its limit and could no longer be increased by using "Roar," otherwise, it would put an excessive strain on its body.
The Ocean Apostle's power in its peak state was unable to completely destroy the Mech Berserker into "dust" like an evolved soldier, at most it could only "disintegrate" it!
Taking advantage of this time, Chakhgehjin had already raised the steel knife in his hand, aimed at the gap between the scales of the Ocean Apostle's huge body, and stabbed it fiercely.
Clang!
The steel knife collided with the Ocean Apostle's body, making a sound of metal striking against metal.
Chakhgehjin only felt as if he had hit a piece of manganese steel. The huge recoil numbed his tiger's mouth, and his entire arm was aching faintly.
The situation of the other evolution warriors was no better than Chakhgehjin's.
They activated the auxiliary powerful function of their combat suits, and the armor on the elbow and wrist positions of the combat suits ejected a huge amount of compressed gas. This slash was like a missile taking off, like lightning streaking across the sky!
The speed of this slash reached supersonic standards in an instant!
But...
Clang!
An extremely crisp sound of breaking rang out.
In the evolution warrior's disbelief, a broken steel knife blade fell to the ground.
This slash broke the alloy steel knife!
And the area where the blade fell only left a white knife mark one centimeter deep.
Compared to the Ocean Apostle's nearly thousand-meter body, what was this one-centimeter-deep knife mark?
It wasn't even enough to be considered a scratch!
"We... we can't even break its defense!"
An evolution warrior holding a broken knife shouted in a shrill voice.
This was simply too despairing!
It was like a group of ants gnawing at an elephant, unable to break its skin, let alone kill it.
Whoosh!
Chakhgehjin suddenly felt a cold fear enveloping him.
At some point, the Ocean Apostle's python head lowered, its cold eyes staring at the evolution soldiers below.
A feeling that made people want to kneel down and worship welled up uncontrollably, followed by deeper fear and despair.
At this time, in the eyes of the evolution warriors led by Chakhgehjin, the Ocean Apostle seemed to have transformed into a god. With just a thought, everyone would die.
The Ocean Apostle's third Divine Descent ability, Kingship!
Thousands of evolution soldiers became stiff, like frogs staring at a snake. They seemed to have turned into dead wood, able only to wait for death to arrive.
The female head slowly opened its mouth and reached down towards them.
The blood basin mouth was like the abyss of hell.
After the corpses were burned, the Ocean Apostle regarded these evolution soldiers as its new blood food, its new tonic!
It wanted to swallow these ants who dared to offend it!
Boom!
A brilliant blue beam of light crashed into the female head's huge mouth. The Ocean Apostle screamed in pain, its body twisting wildly, and the Kingship Divine Descent effect instantly collapsed.
A Mech Berserker in the distance extended its mechanical arm, the muzzle of the cannon in its palm still glowing slightly.
The Ocean Apostle's scales, which were harder than steel, did not grow inside its mouth, so this was still its weakness.
Boom boom boom!
A series of laser cannons came one after another, and the Ocean Apostle's huge body was shaken back again and again. Even though it was thick-skinned, it felt pain under such frequent bombardment.
Moreover, the Mech Berserkers' destructive power was considerable. In some of the areas on its body that were being focused on, the scales had been broken, and blood was starting to flow.
In fact, the Mech Berserkers were more effective against the three huge beast-type apostles—Sky, Night, and Ocean—than against the Wind Apostle, which was a smaller, humanoid apostle.
This was because beast-type apostles, although usually stronger in physical defense and attack power than humanoid apostles, were also easier to hit. They were basically unable to avoid the bombardment of laser cannons.
Their huge bodies meant that their reactions were not very agile. Even if they could see through the trajectory and angle of the attack in advance, it would be difficult for them to avoid light-speed weapons like laser cannons!
In other words, as long as they concentrated their fire on a certain part and continued to output, they could definitely break through the Ocean Apostle's defense!
But... how long would this process take?
Every second spent fighting the Ocean Apostle meant dozens of evolution warriors dying. How many lives would it take as the price to break through its defense and truly inflict heavy damage?
...
Inside the command room, Li Zhi's gaze fell on the battlefield, and a crazy idea kept impacting his moral bottom line.
Now that the Ocean Apostle was entangled by the Mech Berserkers and the evolution troops, it might not be able to spare any energy to control the giant ark in the rear.
If they launched a triphasic nuclear missile at the battlefield now, could they turn it to ashes in one fell swoop?
But what about those evolution legions fighting on the battlefield...?
Li Zhi was engaged in a fierce internal struggle, wavering left and right!
...
The evolution soldiers fighting bloody battles on the battlefield naturally didn't know what Li Zhi was thinking. They roared angrily, and like the foolish old man removing mountains, they wedged their steel knives little by little along the gaps in the Ocean Apostle's scales and its soft abdomen, using their own insignificant strength to inflict a little damage on this monster.
The Ocean Apostle roared to the sky, and the Shattering Divine Descent was used again. In an instant, hundreds more evolution warriors exploded and died.
Seeing this scene, Chakhgehjin, as the leader of this team, was furious.
His comrades were constantly falling, but as the commander, he couldn't stop any of this from happening.
"Chachai, Aubainan..." Chakhgehjin whispered the names of his dead comrades, then suddenly raised his head to look at the berserk Ocean Apostle, a fierce look in his eyes.
"Fuck your God, Holy Mother, Jesus..."
"I'm going to fight you!"
Chakhgehjin cursed in an unknown language. He activated the assist jump function of the Tyrannosaurus Armed Boots and roared, "Brothers, follow me! Attract this monster's attention and create attack opportunities for the Mech Berserkers!"
His figure soared into the sky, his resolute figure launching a charge towards the middle head of the Ocean Apostle.
Immediately afterward, one Trailblazer warrior after another followed behind him, transferring all the energy of their armed combat suits to jump acceleration. Hundreds of figures leaped high, waving the steel knives in their hands, stabbing towards the Ocean Apostle's head, eyes, mouth, and other vulnerable points.
They knew very well that this was a one-way trip!
"The best destiny for a warrior is to die on the battlefield!"
A Federation evolver's brow twitched wildly. The steel knife in his hand was already broken, the combat suit on his body was damaged, and his left shoulder was twisted in a strange posture, indicating that the bones had fractured and collapsed.
But after hearing Chakhgehjin's call, he did not retreat. He also chose to launch a charge towards the Ocean Apostle with the most resolute attitude.
This was... a generous acceptance of death.
