Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 896

Perficot stood in the command room of the floating city, gazing through the panoramic porthole at the gradually taking shape of the city's outline below.

The reconstruction of the City of Seven Hills is on track. New buildings are rising around the energy tower, and the outlines of streets are beginning to appear in the planned grid.

Looking at this city that was reborn from the ruins, a rare hint of relief appeared on her cold face.

But this sense of accomplishment was soon diluted by the pressing reality.

She clearly remembered the purpose of her trip - to eliminate the evil god's followers entrenched here.

Today, this mission has been accomplished, and even the additional goal of rebuilding the city has been exceeded.

Staying here any longer would only put the new city in greater danger.

And she did not forget that she and the gods were still at war, and the minions of the evil god, or even the evil god himself, could attack again at any time.

Her war with the gods is still going on, and those expelled minions of the evil gods may come back at any time.

Although the floating city module of the Seven Hills City does have considerable defensive firepower, if it really attracts the attention of the Heretic God himself...

Her eyes swept across the residential area under construction in the city center.

Those survivors who have just emerged from the disaster are busy rebuilding their homes.

If a war of gods breaks out here, these fragile buildings and hopeful people will probably be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Just as Perfect was considering whether she should leave here and return to the desert kingdom to prepare for a possible attack from the gods, a sudden attack disrupted all her arrangements.

The alarm suddenly sounded, and the shrill buzzing sound echoed in the command room of the floating city.

Outside the porthole, the dark clouds suddenly rolled up, twisted shadows tore through the sky, and ominous purple-red lightning swooped down.

As she thought, the gods did attack.

But this time the target of the gods' attack was not her, but the City of Seven Hills.

Or to be more precise, the target of the gods' attack was the New God's Church in the City of Seven Hills.

The newly completed white spire building was now shrouded in a scarlet beam of light, as if locked by some invisible force.

This was somewhat unexpected, but it did not exceed Perfect's expectations.

After all, when she first formulated the plan for the new god, her intention was to stimulate the old gods and get them to react.

Now that the gods have responded, it can only be said that this is exactly what they wanted.

The church spire burst into dazzling sparks in the purple-red lightning. Three giant ape-shaped god-killing armors with shield generators embedded on their backs were dropped from the floating city module and landed around the church, protecting the church in a triangle.

These huge steel beasts were covered in heavy armor and shone coldly in the lightning. The steam ejected from the heat dissipation vents blew up the snow on the ground and crushed it into pieces.

The four-legged fixing mechanisms of the three shield god-killing armors were immediately locked, and with the roar of gears meshing, the twelve legs of the three steel behemoths were fixed to the ground.

Immediately, the shield generators on their backs unfolded, and three golden barriers enveloped the entire city centered on the church, protecting the survivors in the city.

The moment the lightning struck the shield, the rune circuits on the three God-killing armors glowed red like lava, and their energy was overloaded almost instantly.

However, Perfect had considered this point as early as when he designed these god-killing armors.

The energy conversion circuit inside the God-killing Armor directs the overload energy borne by the God-killing Armor into the weapon system, charging the weapon system almost instantly.

The mouths of the three shield-killing armors opened, and three energy beams shot out, sweeping across the evil god's minions that were attacking from the sky. The moment the purple-red lightning split the church spire, the air on the snowfield suddenly twisted.

Dark swarms of bat-winged creatures tore through the clouds, and the corrosive slime from their membranous wings fell like raindrops, corroding thousands of sizzling holes in the snow.

Three shield-type god-killing armors slammed into the ground. Before the golden force field was fully deployed, the first wave of bats had already hit the barrier like an asphalt wave.

The charred bodies fell in pieces, but they expanded and exploded the moment they hit the ground. The splattering pus and blood melted the granite exterior walls of the church into honeycomb-like ruins.

"The barrier's corrosion resistance factor has fallen below the critical value."

The moment the electronic alarm sounded, dozens of myxomas exploded on the snowfield on the west side of the battlefield.

As soon as the seven shock claw blade armors formed a circular defense line, a swarm of snake-like creatures broke out of their cocoons.

The mouthparts of these monsters covered with mirror-like shells rotated at high speed, and the sparks emitted when they collided with the steam blade wheels actually burned white marks on the surface of the armor.

An armored vehicle suddenly spun around, and claws wrapped around holy silver chains shot out from the gaps in the blade wheels. The moment the chains gripped the snake-like creature's neck, alchemical flames poured into its body through the gaps in the shell, burning its internal organs into boiling green steam.

The sound of whales roaring from deep in the clouds suddenly froze the six armored vehicles that were reloading bullets.

Their brass barrels swung uncontrollably, and their alchemical flames nearly injured friendly forces.

Three calming rune bombs fired in time by the floating city exploded the blue light curtain in the air, and the disordered electronic neural circuits returned to their original positions.

The armored group that resumed its action sprayed out an emerald wall of fire, burning the snakes that took the opportunity to pounce on it, causing their shells to burst and revealing the madly twitching nerve cords inside.

Seven giant pupils dripping with mucus tore through the clouds, and at the end of each pupil's nerve cord was a tumor turret.

Under the saturation attack of acid shells and corrosive beams, the shield dome flickered like a candle in the wind.

The command armors suddenly knelt collectively, and the missile nests on their backs ejected hundreds of spell missiles. The pure energy storm tore a gap in the neural cord jungle.

The broken nerve cords twisted and multiplied during the fall, turning into a swarm of bat-sized parasites that pounced on the hydraulic pipelines at the joints of the armor!
"Furnace overclocking, purification protocol activated."

All the heat dissipation vents of the God-killing armor suddenly spewed out white steam, and the high-temperature air waves carbonized the parasite swarm into falling black ash.

The shield-type armor took advantage of the situation to release the force field, and the shoulder-mounted particle cannons and missile nests formed a crossfire network, blasting the tumor turret that attempted to repair the gap into pieces.

The shock claw blade armor popped out the climbing spikes on the feet and launched a death charge towards the giant skull along the remains of the nerve cord.

The most brutal fight took place in the jaws of the giant skull.

An armored vehicle rushed into a blind spot and poked its high-frequency drill into the energy core, but was entangled around the waist by the reeled nerve cord.

The metal shell cracked under the pressure, exposing the overloaded furnace core inside.

"Command for self-detonation confirmed." Before the electronic sound faded, streams of red flames had already gushed out from the cracks - thermite and nerve cord mucus mixed and burned, melting half of the giant skull's face into a bright metal stream.

The three remaining God-killing armors leaped up on the wreckage of their companions.

They abandoned all defense procedures, and the blue light from the overloaded shoulder cannons, the sparks from the whirling blade wheels, and the tail flames from the missile nests weaved a web of light of destruction on the remains of the giant skull.

When this nightmare creation finally collapsed, its scattered nerve impulses materialized into translucent shadows on the snowfield, and their distorted wails were burned into nothingness by the forbidden powder sprinkled by the ornithopter.

When the smoke cleared, the steel behemoths stood quietly around the church.

The steel of the empire once again protected the people of the empire.
