Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 964 Battle of the Columbia Hill

The Covenant team's small fishing boat arrived in the outer sea area.

The place where Bai Pu and the others swam to the surface was much closer to the inland sea, so they naturally witnessed the naval battle between the Empire and the barbarians.

The barbarian assault boats evaded the Imperial sailors' gunfire at high speed, then crashed into the hull of the Imperial warship with a loud bang. Using the momentum, the barbarian warriors, who were already prepared, leaped up and jumped onto the deck of the Imperial warship to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Imperial soldiers.

Looking around, the barbarian assault boats resembled a swarm of ants, rampaging across the sea.

Although the magic crystal cannons of the Imperial warships are powerful, they had previously consumed a large amount of reserve magic crystals when bombarding the Naga race.

Now, suddenly attacked by barbarians, they have naturally fallen into a passive position.

"How are the Covenant team supposed to get through this chaotic naval battle and find Gallius's flagship?"

Wu Mingyue wasn't worried about the Holy Covenant team; she was just curious, "The Ascension Main Quest 2 has started, and they clearly have the qualifications to accept missions. Is it because of the barbarian invasion that they can't even accept missions?"

Wu Qingyun was also a little shocked. In her mind, the main quest was definitely something that could be accepted. No matter how inhuman the will of the spirit world was, it shouldn't be so inhuman that people couldn't accept the main quest!

Bai Pu said, "The acceptance of this Ascension main quest is actually a selection process. It's a competition to see who can find Gallius first! The awakened team that can find Gallius first will have the greatest advantage. Gallius will definitely give the most important task and the best reward."

After a pause, Bai Pu continued, "The Covenant team will most likely encounter barbarians. It all depends on how they get rid of them and cross the battlefield. If they can do that and find Gallius early on, their value in Gallius's eyes will increase. If they flee for their lives and only find Gallius after the barbarians have withdrawn, they will have missed the best opportunity."

Wu Qingyun chuckled and retorted, "What if they hadn't traveled through time and hadn't escaped, and had been captured by the barbarians?"

Bai Pu also laughed: "The Empire and the barbarians will soon reach an agreement. At that time, as prisoners of the Empire, they will probably be released. But if that happens, Gallius's goodwill towards them will probably drop to indifference."

After a brief exchange, Bai Pu had found a piece of driftwood to use as a foothold. The driftwood was half-hollow, resembling part of a barbarian assault boat, and appeared to be the wreckage of an assault boat destroyed by the Empire.

Several people leaped onto the driftwood, while the two Naga servants remained in the sea, pushing the driftwood forward according to Bai Pu's will.

"We've found Gallius's flagship; it's about two kilometers away from us as the crow flies!"

With the help of Naga servant Navia's spiritual power, Bai Pu dispersed his spiritual energy into fine lines to probe, and finally found Gallius's flagship—the Columhill.

At this moment, the Columbia Hill was being besieged by dozens of barbarian assault boats. The barbarians on the assault boats had already jumped onto the deck of the Columbia Hill and were fighting hand-to-hand with the sailors.

The driftwood cuts through the waves and moves forward.

Suddenly, a speedboat came hurtling towards them from afar, its sharp, raised ramming head suggesting it was about to destroy the piece of driftwood wreckage!

"Bombard!"

Bai Pu, who was already prepared, snorted coldly and swept his hand horizontally, unleashing a colorful battle aura slash from the tip of the Doomsday Gunblade.

Wu Mingyue had already placed her hand on Bai Pu's body, casting a Reverse Life Qi Shield. This attack had a priority of 16 points!
The "blood shield" unleashed by the troll shaman and his horde of orcish warriors was pierced directly by the cannon fire, and the battle aura slash traversed the assault boat, its powerful added force bringing it to a complete stop!
The orc soldiers, propelled high into the air by the immense inertia and recoil, crashed into the sea.

The tip of the aura slash struck the troll shaman at the stern, tearing a horrible gash in the chest of this enhanced elite troll shaman, revealing the white bone fragments.

The troll shaman was blasted away, falling into the sea covered in blood.

Bai Pu's attack was visually stunning and incredibly lethal. However, since everyone in the ascended plane is incredibly resilient, this attack was intended to seize the ship and didn't kill a single barbarian soldier.

Bai Pu, along with his teammates Da Xiao Wu and others, leaped onto the speedboat.

Navia beat the war drum to steer the assault boat, while Bai Pu and the two shamans supplied energy through rowing. The sails of the assault boat quickly filled, and it sped away like a swordfish, leaving behind a group of barbarians who had fallen into the water, cursing and chasing after it, but they were getting further and further away.

With the added speed of the speedboat, Bai Pu and his group quickly arrived at the sea area where the Columbia Hill was located.

From afar, one could see Gallius standing on the bridge, arms crossed, coldly watching the battle.

His two adjutants had already joined the battle; one was directing the soldiers to resist the barbarian orcs' boarding action, while the other went directly to confront the charging orc general.

Bai Pu leaped high into the air, using his newly mastered [Crimson Lotus Steps], and landed at high speed on the deck of the Columbia Hill.

The spear is like a dragon, and the attack is like fire.

With one thrust, he struck an orc soldier in the throat, severely wounding him. The next thrust arrived swiftly, piercing the orc soldier's heart and killing him instantly.

It looks simple and understated, but it's all just numbers!
With the "Attack Like Fire" skill effect, Bai Pu's attack power is increased by an additional 100 points. Bai Pu's base attack power has now exceeded 500 points, and with his weapon, his attack power exceeds 700 points!
Bai Puping's combat power fluctuation is also astonishingly high.

The mastery-level combat feat provides a 500% increase in amplitude. Combined with battle aura strength, ultimate techniques, and so on, Bai Pu's basic attack now theoretically deals over 17,000 damage!

These barbarian orcs, under Bai Pu's title of Warrior, also have a 30% independent damage increase—this is based on Bai Pu's inherent impression of orcs and is a measure of their evil level, which may change as his understanding of the orcs in this world changes.

This means that Bai Pu's ordinary thrust can deal 22,000 to 23,000 damage.

These elite orc soldiers have decent damage reduction capabilities, but they still have to take six or seven thousand damage in actual combat!
Given that elite orc soldiers typically have 20,000 to 30,000 health points, a single shot is often enough to severely injure them, reducing their maximum health by half! A second shot is enough to kill them instantly.

When encountering a standard orc warrior with ten or twenty thousand health points, it's truly one shot, one kill.

Bai Pu deliberately avoided those enhanced elite-level, thick-skinned orc centurions.

These guys usually have around 50,000 health points, so even if you hit a vital spot, it's hard to seriously injure them. It's really not easy to kill them instantly, which will actually affect your killing efficiency—unless you use artillery, but that would consume too much resources.

Fortunately, there weren't many of these troublesome orc centurions, so they could be dealt with by the great witches, Navia, and others.
