Chapter 136 A Fatal Situation

　　The Marine Apostle's gaze remained unchanged as he faced the fearless charge of the evolving warriors.

　　In his eyes, the only real threat on the battlefield was those dozen mecha warriors. As for the evolving warriors, they were nothing more than ants. Some of them might have a painful bite, but... they weren't worth paying attention to.

　　The Marine Apostle swung its massive tail, not even bothering with the Shattering Divine Descent, relying solely on the strength of its physical body to strike.

　　Boom!

　　In an instant, thousands of evolving warriors were struck by the giant tail. Many were sent flying like stones, crashing heavily onto the ground.

　　The giant python's head extended, its eyes fixed on the evolving warriors charging towards it. An extremely divine light appeared within its eyes.

　　Royal Authority!

　　However, the next moment, a giant spear descended from the sky with a sharp whistling sound, aimed directly at the giant python's eyeball.

　　The Marine Apostle quickly moved its body, closing its eyes to avoid the fierce attack.

　　It hissed angrily, its other two heads staring intently at the mecha warrior, wishing it could tear him to pieces.

　　The Marine Apostle could withstand the attacks of the evolving warriors, but it would never dare to use its most vulnerable parts to fight head-on with the mecha warrior.

　　If it hadn't dodged just now, that giant spear would have pierced into its brain along its eyeball!

　　It wasn't strong enough to use its eyeball to withstand a full-strength attack from the mecha warrior.

　　"We must attract its attention and create an opportunity for the mecha warrior to hit its middle head... Only in this way can we protect this defense line." Chakajin gritted his teeth, having survived the Marine Apostle's counterattack. He once again raised his blade and charged forward.

　　Inside the defense line command center, Li Zhi's brow furrowed, his expression growing increasingly gloomy and terrifying. He even began to mutter to himself:

　　"If we launch a nuclear weapon now, there is a high probability that we can eliminate this terrifying enemy."

　　"Although the evolving warrior legion will also die as a result, there are sacrifices in war at any time, and people will die!"

　　"From the perspective of a commander, my decision is correct..."

　　"Yes, I am correct!"

　　...

　　The battle situation on the human defense line was extremely tragic, while the intensity of the war in the Gobi Desert, which was the main battlefield today, was several times higher.

　　The beast tide had already engaged in a mixed battle with the coalition forces, and the sounds of artillery fire and roars of beasts filled the entire battlefield.

　　After controlling the Kunlun mothership to fire laser orbital cannons at the two miracle buildings that had proactively withdrawn their defenses, Li Tianran stared intently at the area where the miracle buildings were located, now shrouded in smoke.

　　Without the protection of the boundary tower barrier, could the apostle still remain unharmed inside the miracle building?

　　A gust of wind blew, dissipating the gunpowder smoke from the artillery fire below.

　　The outlines of the two miracle buildings slowly reappeared.

　　The moment he saw the specific situation, Li Tianran's brow furrowed slightly.

　　The damage suffered by these two miracle buildings was not as serious as he had imagined!

　　On the two giant arks, each the size of a city, the building structures at the positions directly hit by the laser orbital cannons had collapsed, with a combined damage area exceeding three kilometers.

　　Many steel buildings were directly melted by the high temperature of the laser orbital cannons, becoming unsightly lumps of iron.

　　However...

　　These damages seemed serious, but in reality, they did not harm the foundations of the miracle buildings at all!

　　If the miracle building was compared to a large building, then in this attack, Li Tianran had only stripped off its outermost layer of tiles!

　　Not to mention load-bearing walls, even the insulation layer had not been penetrated!

　　"The material used to build the miracle buildings... is very strong." Li Tianran narrowed his eyes. He possessed Sky City and naturally knew that the material used to build this type of ark was a special metal that had disappeared from Blue Star many years ago. Its strength and heat resistance far exceeded any alloy currently available.

　　Buildings made of this metal could withstand the temperature at the center of a nuclear missile explosion without deforming. It was the strongest metal that Blue Star had ever produced!

　　Even when Li Tianran heavily damaged Sky City in the past, he used the "Valley of Death," the Kunlun mothership's most powerful attack method.

　　As the Kunlun mothership's most common attack method, the laser orbital cannon could cause damage to the miracle building, but it was very limited!

　　Naturally, this level of attack would not kill the two apostles hiding inside the miracle buildings.

　　Sure enough, a huge intelligent image projection suddenly appeared above the two miracle buildings.

　　It was the figure of the Gale Apostle.

　　He was hiding inside the miracle building, using this method to directly communicate with Li Tianran, avoiding the possibility of being sniped.

　　"If you only want to destroy us with this level of attack, you are too arrogant." The Gale Apostle said expressionlessly. He looked at the Kunlun mothership and said in a deep voice, "This little bit of power is not even a tickle."

　　Listening to the Gale Apostle's provocative words, Li Tianran did not get angry. He simply pressed the Kunlun mothership's energy storage button again.

　　The azure light cluster re-condensed at the muzzle of the laser orbital cannon, accumulating terrifying power.

　　Zheng!

　　Hundreds of beams of light descended from the sky again, landing on the two miracle buildings, but the effect was still not ideal, failing to severely damage its core parts.

　　"Li Tianran, I really don't know how you killed the Sky Apostle..." The Gale Apostle frowned and glanced at the Tower of Babel, which was constantly being bombarded by the laser orbital cannon. He said, "I even doubt whether the Sky Apostle was really killed by you?"

　　"Look back at your coalition forces..."

　　"They cannot resist the invasion of the beast tide army!"

　　"And our followers, they will brutally kill those fragile human soldiers. Before you use this pathetic power to defeat my miracle building, your subordinates will be slaughtered."

　　"Perhaps, even your giant ship will be dismantled!"

　　"Li Tianran, what are you hesitating about? Let me see the true power you possess... Otherwise, when my followers break into the interior of your giant ship, you will have no chance to use it!"

　　The Gale Apostle's voice was full of ridicule and contempt, as well as the condescension of a higher being towards a lower being.

　　Li Tianran's brow gradually furrowed.

　　Inside the command center, many staff members also became agitated by these words.

　　"This bastard dares to despise the Governor!"

　　"Has he forgotten that the Sky Apostle's miracle building was severely damaged and fled in a panic under the Kunlun mothership?"

　　"The laser orbital cannon is just a conventional attack method. As long as we activate the 'Valley of Death', we can easily destroy his lair!"

　　Many staff members spoke one after another, their words full of anger towards the Gale Apostle.

　　Li Tianran turned his gaze to the battlefield behind him.

　　Indeed, as the Gale Apostle said, the human coalition forces behind him had fallen into bitter fighting. Under the impact of the endless beast tide and the sub-sequence followers, the coalition soldiers were constantly decreasing in number, and the casualty rate was alarming.

　　And the damage caused by the laser orbital cannon to the miracle building was very limited...

　　Considering the above factors, using the "Valley of Death" to bombard the miracle building below seemed to be the most effective method.

　　Li Tianran was silent for a long time, then slowly pressed the scarlet button with the lightning symbol on the console.

　　The moment he pressed the button, the lights in the entire control room seemed to dim.

　　The hull of the Kunlun mothership made a huge buzzing sound, as if it had entered an overload operation.

　　The Valley of Death was the Kunlun mothership's ultimate move.

　　Its destructive power was astonishing, far exceeding that of a nuclear weapon, but the only flaw was that it consumed too much energy. When it accumulated enough energy to fire once, the entire Kunlun mothership would fall into a state of low-energy operation for a short period. Many conventional attack methods would be temporarily turned off, and even the propulsion engine would be forced to reduce its power.

　　A small ball of lightning appeared at the front of the Kunlun mothership, and a mountain-like pressure descended from the sky, as a bursting hurricane began to sweep across the earth.

　　On the battlefield, many human soldiers, beast kings, and sub-sequence followers who were in the midst of fighting stopped their movements, attracted by this huge energy fluctuation, and involuntarily looked up at the sky.

　　"That's... that's the sea of thunder that once appeared on the Cartierburg defense line!"

　　"Oh my god, what an amazing sense of oppression, it's like... like the sky is constantly falling, pressing down on everything!"

　　"With this power... we will win this war!"

　　Among the human coalition forces, there was suddenly a burst of explosive cheers!

　　The Valley of Death had erupted once on Cartierburg. Its amazing destructive power gave all the human coalition forces an almost blind confidence in it.

　　When ancient civilization had just recovered, it had defeated an apostle in a frontal battle, causing the opponent to flee in embarrassment with his miracle building, hiding in the deep sea for a long time without daring to show his face.

　　Now that the Valley of Death had reappeared, it naturally also foreshadowed... victory.

　　The thunderball was constantly accumulating energy, gradually approaching its limit.

　　But at this moment, Li Tianran suddenly felt something was wrong. He felt that the Gale Apostle's reaction and attitude were a bit strange, as if the other party was deliberately guiding him to release the Valley of Death!

　　"That's not right. If I were the Gale Apostle, I would never crazily provoke an enemy who possessed the power to destroy a miracle building before my technological weapons were fully recovered. Even if it was because of some so-called disdain and contempt of higher beings towards lower beings, I would never do such a near-suicidal thing..." Li Tianran frowned, his finger resting on the launch button, but he hesitated to press it.

　　Li Tianran didn't know what the Gale Apostle's conspiracy was, but his experience of fighting countless enemies told him that in war, there was only one thing that absolutely needed to be remembered.

　　That is, if the enemy wants you to do something, then you must never do it!

　　Even if you don't know the reason, you must abide by this iron law!

　　"The other party may have a way to deal with the Valley of Death... And the Kunlun mothership will enter a short period of weakness after firing once. If we fail to defeat the other party in one fell swoop and allow the other party to seize the weak period and take advantage of it, this war will fail!"

　　"But, the other party may also be bluffing! Seeing that their boundary tower barrier has collapsed, they deliberately use this attitude to make me unable to figure out the truth, wanting to scare me... making me dare not use the Valley of Death." Li Tianran was silent, thinking, and turned his gaze to the Gale Apostle's image on the Tower of Babel:

　　"What should I choose?"
