Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 876 Devoted to Duty
From the very beginning, Song Shi's field did not exist on more than one layer.

If a person is confident about something, then he is destined not to put all his attention into it.

Song Shi didn't think he would lose.

Therefore, he focused part of his attention on ensuring "absolute safety"—firstly, the safety of Mangxing Plain, and secondly, the dismemberment of the Grand Protector.

The first and the second might actually be the same thing.

If two True Spirits, especially those who have gone very far in the fifth ring, were to fight without regard for consequences, the entire Mangxing Plain would be submerged, its inhabitants would suffer immense devastation, and only one in ten would survive.

Grand Protector. If he wanted to, Song Shi could have annihilated her body and soul the moment they met, long before the avatar of Feng Lian from "Jun Tian Shen Que" descended.

But Song Shi was unwilling.

He still wanted to test Feng Lian, so he deliberately spared the life of the Grand Protector and waited for his fate. To ensure "absolute certainty," he set up multiple layers of fields, not simply one layer on top of another, but using a more obscure and complex construction method.

So far, it has been very effective.

The destructive power of the two sides' exchange of blows looked extremely frightening, and indeed it was extremely frightening. However, the outer field swirled around like a dragon, coiling around and around, forcefully stopping the attack and controlling the scope of the destruction.

The Grand Protector's body was severed, and his consciousness left his body, becoming ethereal and untraceable. However, in front of Song Shi, who was in control of the entire situation, it was like a firefly in the dark night, conspicuous yet faint.

“Qian Gang.” Song Shi shook his head. “He’s a powerful true spirit.”

"But I couldn't protect my men." He flashed a gleaming white smile.

Behind the youth, a massive chasm appeared, not on the ground, but in the sky. It tore through a vast sea of ​​flames, piercing through its intricate structure, ending at a point of natural blue.

Feng Lian stared at the blue spot. It disappeared quickly, in less than half a breath, like tomato sauce that had been poked in a hole spreading back, filling the hole, and returning to a uniform color.

The framework established by the "upper principle" propelled this move, successfully breaking through the opponent's blockade—but there's nothing to be proud of. Quality and quantity have always been a subject of trade-offs; breaking through the "Great Source" from a single point is nothing to boast about.

Unfortunately, the Grand Protector was outmatched and could not escape the calamity.
Under Song Shi's gaze, Feng Lian's body entered an irreversible collapse, cracks spread rapidly, and his entire body vanished into tiny specks of light.

He stared at Song Shi: "Traitorous scoundrel."

"It is because there are too many restless people like you in this world that so much chaos has been caused."

"Wait until the day we march on your Longyuan Feng family's ancestral home," Song Shi grinned, "then I'll show you what a traitorous villain really is."

Feng Lian looked displeased, but the next second his transformation completely failed and he disappeared into thin air.

Song Shi chuckled, his expression suddenly hardening as he looked back at a certain spot.

"VE!"

[I saw it!] In another distant place, at the edge of the sky, a chilling, eerie light suddenly appeared. The atmosphere swirled and converged into a vortex, revealing a blood-red, malevolent star at its center.

VE cursed.

Pan-Eastern Continental Union, a strategic-level armed force.

—【Celestial Calamity Fire】!
The eerie red color hung suspended for a brief moment before plummeting straight down, staining the sea of ​​clouds with a deep crimson hue in its wake. Then, in the same instant, it vanished with a bang, turning into dust and ashes.

The phlogiston inside the Celestial Calamity Fire was violently activated, and matter and energy were simultaneously dissolved and transformed into special dust called "Calamity Ashes".

Formerly the Eastern Continent Republic, now the New Order Federation, the Bosolan Resettlement Zone has an unremarkable geographical location. There are a few noteworthy resources available, but nothing particularly special.

Air raid sirens blared across the Bosolan resettlement area, their shrill sound like thousands of owls circling overhead simultaneously. The air defense system was activated immediately—in a symbolic way.

High-energy lasers and high-power microwave weapons were activated immediately, and hypersonic air defense missiles fired continuously, like hundreds or thousands of flames rising and shooting against the sky.

But it has no real effect!
Before that crimson demonic star, whether it was a dazzling high-energy pulsed laser, a missile carrying high explosives, or even a swarm of drones carrying iron oxide, all were reduced to dust the instant they made contact. They only slowed the demonic star's descent, but could not stop it.

In the Bosolan resettlement area, several large shield generators are being activated, and a dark blue light curtain slowly rises and closes. Important figures and the general public are also quickly moving into underground shelters under the guidance of the city management system.

However, the Bosolan resettlement area has historically received little attention, with limited resources allocated there. The shield generators cannot cover the entire city like those in major metropolises, limiting the area of ​​protection. Furthermore, given the destructive power of the "Celestial Calamity Fire," the effectiveness of these energy shields is highly questionable.

In a roadside fast food restaurant in the resettlement area of ​​the extraordinary unit, the man didn't even have time to take a bite of the hamburger that had just been served before he appeared on the street in a flash.

He was a direct descendant of the Enlightened Ones, which is why he was sent to the resettlement area to use his powerful third-ring [Control] psychic energy to suppress the remaining old forces and expedite the New Order Federation's assimilation of the resettlement area.

The responsibilities they bear naturally include the defense of the resettlement area.

As the demonic star rapidly approached, the man felt a chill run down his spine. This was the "Celestial Calamity Flame," renowned even among strategic-level weapons for its sheer destructive power!
Its past achievements include being a fourth-ring, [Ascension] psionicist! Forget about assisting in defense, if it gets even a little close, it will be difficult to save its own life!

His mind raced. He knew he couldn't possibly catch it; at best, it would slow him down. This place was far from the New Order Federation's homeland! He was the strongest in the area!
Even if I'm going to eat myself to death, I have to try it at least once!
With this in mind, he no longer hesitated. He took a deep gulp of coolant, and his skin shimmered with a metallic texture and ripples of scales. In a flash, he expanded from a human into a humanoid mechanical body several stories tall!
Immediately afterwards, the humanoid mechanical body transformed a second time, its legs sinking deep into the ground to fix the body in place, its arms merging, flipping, and transforming, and a giant mechanical cannon stretched out section by section, quickly exceeding thirty meters in length, its muzzle emitting a strong purple light and shaking wildly.

His reconnaissance system interface emitted a strong high-energy reaction. He suddenly realized something.

The characteristics of the spectral bands are not those of "Celestial Fire"?!

Above the Bosolan resettlement area, a black dot suddenly appeared, then rapidly expanded, from which a viscous, turbid substance poured out, creating a rapidly growing vortex—

Singularity technology.
