Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 940 The Crown of Heroes

The Burning Legion [Knights of Saint Sebastian] descended upon the surface of the Star God. Upon landing, the members of the Knights summoned their contracted beasts.

Yes, every knight in the [Knights of Saint Sebastian] has a legion contract beast, and it is a large group of ethereal creatures similar to Xia Xiu's [Holy Spirit Pigeon].

"Whoa whoa whoa~~~~"

"Whoa whoa whoa~~~~"

The knights summoned flaming skeletal warhorses, and the members of the knights then rode on these warhorses known as [Hellfire].

"Knights of Saint Sebastian, charge!!!"

Tatata! ! !
Tatata! ! !
Hordes of Heavenly Knights charged forward, each one ablaze with flames, their armor coated with highly heated incendiary fuels, like demons of hell rampaging across the battlefield. They were not the first martyrs to choose self-destruction, but warriors in the flames—like Ghost Riders, their bodies wreathed in fire, riding roaring flaming warhorses, charging, slaying, and purifying.

They wielded their holy hammers, shattering one by one those vital individuals parasitized by carbon-based neural networks, and burning the spiritual tumors expanding within their bodies to ashes.

Flames spread recklessly across the battle zone of the Star God's spine.

From the air, the entire area, which resembles a mountain range, is being "purified" into a scorched landscape.

Suddenly, a burst of intense light rose from the ground.

At that moment, the fiery red crown behind the Seventh Hero, Saint Sebasti, burst into flames.

It is not a dazzling light, but a substantial burning.

Like a torch fuse, the airflow across the entire battlefield is distorted, and the world is plunged into another temperature dimension.

—The Legion Overlord has descended!

Amidst the raging flames, a colossal angel, its body ablaze, slowly rose from the sea of ​​fire.

He had fiery wings on his back, a fierce expression on his face, and his body was surrounded by an unapproachable crimson-gold divine flame.

This is the incarnation of the Legion Master of Saint Sebasti, who inherited the name of a hero:
【Mebashiye ()】—The Flame of Punishment, the Lord of Wrath.

As soon as he appeared, the entire earth began to melt.

The earth collapsed into magma, and the earth's crust seemed to be ignited by the will of this incarnation, thus actively collapsing, burning, and surging.

Before those life-giving parasites could react, they were already swallowed up by this high-temperature purification field.

At this moment, the Legion's domain slowly unfolded!

【Crown Unfolds, Forged in the Flames of Heaven】

In that instant, the temperature in the entire spinal war zone soared to a terrifyingly high level.

Magma is no longer merely a natural reaction, but has become an extension of divine will; fire is no longer just a means of attack, but a materialization of the Mother that burns away all corruption.

[Mebashie] raised his burning longsword, issuing a final verdict for the entire Star God Spine Group:
"With this fire, we will annihilate false orders—"

"Nothing that lives off others shall be spared!"

The ground suddenly cracked open, and a large group of life-sustaining individuals let out painful screams. The structures that were attached to carbon-based nerves were completely burned off by the flames, while the host bodies that were fighting back were purified into ashes before the outbreak.

Let the flames purify everything!
……

……

"Rumble~~~~~"

As the Seventh Champion and the Knights of Saint Sebasti transformed into a torrent of fiery judgment in the Spine War Zone, Jormungandr continued to roar and race across the surface of the Star God. The 3,333-meter-long steel dragon roared incessantly, dragging a whole curtain of flames and calamity across the sky as it continued to advance.

Inside the carriage, Xia Xiu's golden eyes were fixed on a densely covered green terrain model on the light screen—that was the left shoulder area of ​​the Star God.

"The next area..."

As the operation commander, Xia Xiu raised his hand and pointed, causing the light screen to pulsate violently and project two nearly connected arc-shaped areas.

"The shoulders of the Star God are the pivotal areas where functions converge. Not only are there numerous veins connecting multiple ecological and transmission arteries, but they are also covered with sprawling swarms of branching sea creatures."

He looked at the heroes behind him, his tone calm and steady:

"Twenty planetary engines need to be installed here. The shoulder areas can be combined, but two knight orders must be deployed to quickly complete the cleaning and anchor chain positioning."

Upon hearing Xia Xiu's words, the fourth and sixth heroes among the remaining three heroes stepped forward.

The Fourth Hero, San Isodo:

"Left shoulder area, leave it to me."

His gaze, sharp as lightning, landed on the model of the area permeated with spore mist, his voice utterly calm:
"When it comes to these kinds of newly sprouting, spreading branches, only our Order of Saint Isodo is the most suitable."

He stretched out his hand and gently made a sweeping motion in the air. In an instant, a whole data matrix appeared in his palm.

"These vine-like marine organisms rely on the synergistic effects of spore dispersal, ecological integration, and spiritual erosion. Their dense root networks can construct local neural networks, connect heterogeneous growth media, and form 'semi-active landform pollution'."

For conventional legions, this kind of battlefield is nothing short of a nightmare, but for us—it's merely a variable needed for tactical calculations.

Xia Xiu nodded in a deep voice:

"Indeed, the intensity of the contamination is high, the structure is dense, and the psychological effects spread slowly. It is most appropriate to entrust this war zone to you."

Saint Isodo gently flicked the war command disc at his waist, and with his gesture, the tactical projection of the [Knights of Saint Isodo] appeared before everyone's eyes.

The uniformly dressed war data writers, clad in [coded armor], were each like a warrior woven from logic.

They infused their will into the trajectory, calibrated the path with prayers, and maintained the firepower with techniques.

Their weapons are not firearms in the traditional sense, but chanting devices. Each shot is accompanied by a stabilizing incantation to achieve minimal deviation accuracy in environments with high levels of interference.

What is even more awe-inspiring are the second-generation war machines designed by the Heavenly War Institute, awakened by the Machine Soul Trainers—the Heavenly Titans.

Although they are second-generation machines, they have undergone adjustments based on multiple generations of STC templates from the [Knights of Saint Isodo], and have already exceeded the scope of ordinary general-purpose machines.

"The Titan formation will be deployed with us to ensure the cleanliness and structural safety of each planetary engine deployment site."

The Fourth Hero, San Isodo, spoke calmly, yet with an undeniable precision.

Xia Xiu nodded, confirmed the instruction, and then looked away.

The sixth hero, standing in front of the light screen, slowly turned around. Wearing a gray-black cloak, he had a cold and taciturn face, just like the legendary divine falcon.

He simply nodded slightly and said in a low voice:
"Leave the right shoulder area to the Holy Trinity Knights."

His tone was devoid of any emotion, yet it revealed a sharp, unwavering confidence.

"There are a large number of elite Sea Siege units there, which are perfect for our legion's tactical structure."

Xia Xiu nodded in satisfaction.

These two legions are divided into two groups: one is a specialized group for efficient purification and structural interference, adept at cracking pollution and control networks; the other is a stealthy elite hunting group, specializing in attacking high-intensity enemy nodes.

This division is absolutely flawless. "Let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jormungandr suddenly turned around on the surface of the Star God, roaring once again like an iron dragon in the sky.

The engine roared, the turret turned, and runic light traces spiraled along the vehicle body, like a god releasing divine punishment with every breath.

The next second, the train hurtled forward at a breathtaking speed, heading straight for the Star God's shoulder area!

As Jormungandr approached the area, a dark shadow, symbolizing calamity, pressed down first.

The rainbow bridge trajectory in the sky shone again, and the projection interfaces of each carriage opened. In the light, the pre-assembled formation of the Knights was immediately activated.

The silver-white Knights of Saint Isodo descended first, like a torrent of holy flames falling from the sky.

Their forward formation, built upon the STC standard template, resembled a cross inscribed with doctrine, steadily entering the battlefield with a well-organized and logically rigorous pace.

At each pre-deployed planetary engine location, accompanied by a deafening roar, appeared a war giant that shook the heavens—the Heavenly Titan.

These Titan mechs stand approximately 25 meters tall and are considered the main combat platforms of the Marauder class, resembling an armed deity that shatters flames.

With steel as its skeleton and cold silver as its armor, the surface is covered with inscriptions and command emblems. These patterns are not decorations, but magical circuits and rune annotations engraved into the armor itself. They can adjust the body's response speed in real time during battle, resist magical contamination, and even self-repair the outer armor.

The Titan's breastplate features a prism-like interlocking structure, with a giant ballistic module embedded in its left shoulder capable of launching multi-frequency holy nail missiles equipped with a ballistic rune tracking system; its right arm is a prayer-wielding sword that can unfold into a double-edged giant shield, with a built-in high-frequency vibration core specifically designed to slay heavy heteromorphs and mind-contaminated creatures.

Their legs are equipped with ground-shaking thrusters, which cause the earth to vibrate and rock layers to peel away as they move, making the entire earth submit to them.

At the head—Titan's field of vision is a single piece of high-energy sensory glass mask, which, in conjunction with the remote link between the [War Data Writer] and the [Machine Soul Trainer], allows for real-time adjustments to the combat mode.

At this moment, illuminated by the crown of Isodor's heroes, these Titans, like steel deities left over from the Alchemy Age, descended one after another from the light of the [Rainbow Bridge], crashing into the malevolent network formed by the Sea of ​​Pollution and the Branch Sealings.

When the Titans fell, the vines on the ground cracked and withered as if they had been burned.

And on the other side-

The Knights of the Holy Trinity, clad in heavy gray-black armor, stepped out of the vehicle like ghosts.

They had no ceremonies, no shouts, only solemn silence and the "shroud of divine name" that concealed themselves. The entire legion was like a shadow, slipping into the battlefield before the light even touched the ground, disappearing into the ley lines and the night.

They will become the sharpest blades to slay the elite of the Sea Clan, diving into the deepest depths, severing the neural chains of consciousness, and piercing the resonance circuits.

High in the sky, Xia Xiu gazed at the battlefield below through a multi-dimensional projection.

……

……

Left shoulder battlefield.

Under the bombardment of Jormungandr and the advance of the Heavenly Titans, the dense forest network woven from the branches of the sea creatures on the polluted surface continued to burn and break, forming fire marks torn apart by the high temperature and roar.

Amidst the flames of war, the Fourth Hero, San Isodo, slowly raised his right hand.

The next moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and an angel composed entirely of azure data cubes, seemingly made of tactical syntax and command protocols, slowly descended from it.

The Legion Overlord's Incarnation - [Hahashiye ()].

His body was enormous, his face obscured by countless numbers and circuits, and when his wings were spread, they were multidimensional arrays composed of countless floating structural modules. Each flap brought tons of data for reconstructing war structures.

Before he even landed, the ground changed instantly.

With his arrival, all weapon systems of the [Knights of Saint Isodo] equipped with STC modules began to "proliferate" and "evolve" wildly:
Rails, turrets, fire bunkers, shield prisms, energy matrices, mechanical tracks...

A mobile steel city-state, woven from logic and chanted with the grammar of war, is rising from this polluted land.

City of war, fortress of omnics!
Just as the city-state was being formed, the indigo crown behind Saint Isodo suddenly lit up as if it had exploded, transforming into a halo composed of more than a dozen mechanical circuits that unfolded behind him.

【The Crown Unfolds: Sinai Mountain, the Holy City of Mechanisms】

The fourth hero shouted the battle cry of the Knights of Saint Isodo:

"With truth as our blade and knowledge as our shield, burn away ignorance—forward!"

The Knights of Saint Isolde roared:
"go ahead!"

"go ahead!!"

"go ahead!!!"

The sacred words are encrypted, and logic is imbued with soul.

In this mechanical city-state constructed by tactical divine inspiration, every knight becomes a cog in the machine of war, executing the slaughter with unerring precision, while the Titans are embedded in the fortress structure, becoming part of the war walls, suppressing the mycelium-like spreading branches and roots of the sea of ​​war.

……

……

At almost the same moment, on the right shoulder battlefield.

This is a barren and desolate land, a place of stark desolation.

As Jormungandr bombarded and the contaminated layer collapsed, the sixth hero, Trinity, slowly raised his hand.

He whispered, so softly it was almost inaudible, and this was the legion's battle cry of the Holy Trinity Knights.

"Break the chains! Sever the shackles! Liberate everything in the name of the Kingdom of Heaven!"

A strange shadow appeared behind him, as if the curtain of reality had been torn open from the inside.

The next second, the sovereign's avatar, like a ghost of judgment carved into a secret language, stepped out from the gap.

He was tall and slender, dressed in an ancient and tattered priest's robe, and wore a bird-beak mask on his face, like a surviving descendant of an ancient plague god.

His wings were woven from black patterns; when he flapped them, there was no wind, yet one could faintly hear whispers, murmurs, and calls...

That is the origin of the [Covering of the Name of God] spell—to stop observation and silence perception.

This is the incarnation of the Legion of the Holy Trinity—[Jabbamier ()].

The black crown behind the Sixth Hero then unfolded, like a halo of anti-starlight rising from the abyss. The symbols engraved on it kept changing and disappearing, and could not even be fixed by any gaze.

【The Crown Unfolds - The Seal of Themis】

The light was swallowed up, and cause and effect were concealed.

In an instant, the figures of all members of the [Knights of the Holy Trinity] turned into projected particles and disappeared from the real world.

Without making a sound, they had already traversed various parts of the battlefield and entered the ranks of the elite units of the Sea Siege.

They are "falcons in divine mediums," and also the forgotten blade of fate's observer.

They silently slaughtered the enemies of Heaven.
