Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 148 See you under the gun, my corrupt brother

"…The final passage has been opened!!"

"But the giants—"

"It's too late! They also asked us to go in quickly! Hurry!"

The orc who was shouting loudly was killed by the outer automatic defense system of the Antarctic giant tower in the next second. His head was instantly blown into powder and he fell to the ground, staggering.

The sergeant who was just talking was stunned for a moment, and then he gave the order to attack to the soldiers behind him without hesitation. Hundreds of soldiers rushed into the huge checkpoint that had slid open to both sides. They didn't know how many floors they had rushed through, but there was no doubt that they had not yet reached the interior of the Antarctic Tower.

dead.

There is death everywhere.

The corpses called death are burning on the Antarctic continent, making people lose their sense of life and death.

People hurriedly advanced toward the interior of the giant tower, clearing out the Negative Star Army that emerged from inside, as well as their automatic fire control systems, floor by floor.

Fortunately, there seemed to be a civil war among the Negative Stars, and many key passes were filled with people fighting to the death, or battlefields where some of the Negative Stars remained. These places did not stop the Saviors for long, and although they suffered heavy casualties, they also rushed to the vicinity of the Antarctic Giant Tower.

After breaking through the Antarctic Ritual Mountains, they would face the giant tower in the core of Antarctica that soared into the sky. The Savior Army's wizards and sorcerers built dozens of defense positions and camps outside the Antarctic giant tower in the shortest possible time to block the counterattack of the Negative Stars, as well as the continuous bombing of the automatic defense facilities that were still in operation outside the Antarctic giant tower.

In a sense, the Salvation Army succeeded. As a ceremonial landmark, the Antarctic Tower was not surrounded by huge barriers like the Hengduan Mountains and the Antarctic Mountains. However, in the outer layer of the Antarctic Tower, there were countless automatic fire points that were bombarding the Salvation Army troops as the ceremony was running. These automatic fire points resisted very tenaciously, and this was only the outer layer of defense.

After a day and a night of emergency discussions and processing, the Salvation Army finally divided hundreds of attack channels from more than a dozen camps, and used the most stupid method of resisting the attack and advancing step by step to break through the last 30 kilometers of the plain.

However, it was not until they reached the interior of the giant tower in Antarctica that they realized a problem that was not really a problem.

The giant tower in Antarctica is 20,000 meters high.

The foundation covers an area of ​​64,000 square kilometers.

The interior is filled with various automated psychic defense matrices, and the Negative Star's Soulless Brigade is making the final stubborn resistance. Each floor is covered with anti-magic metal and automated troops.

Even when people first entered the tower, they did not see a vast hall, but countless large energy pillars that soared into the sky. These pillars, wrapped in anti-magic metal and ritual runes, contained charm runes that were strengthened to the limit. If they wanted to attack them, it would be like sending Leon the most elite infantry on the front line for nothing, giving him the ability to delay time to a certain extent.

The battle had already reached this point, so it was impossible to delay any longer. People simply could not accept such a thing. So they could only bite the bullet and continue to attack the interior of the Antarctic Tower step by step, under the firepower nodes from all directions.

They have to analyze the meanings of the various runes, and then select those maintenance nodes and facilities to build up layer by layer. Otherwise, the various rituals and runes inside will give the Saviors a severe blow.

The Salvation Army doesn't have much time to spare, and every person and resource is extremely valuable.

The disgusting thing about the Antarctic Tower is that it is not only the origin of the destruction plan, but also the core terminal of the brainwashing of the continent. If you want to fight hard, you must accept the risk that the collapse of the Antarctic Tower will lead to the brainwashing of all the Saviors in the entire Old Continent.

In this case, the North Pole has no way to fight and can only wait for death. If the North Pole fails to supply energy to the South Pole Tower, it will be fine. However, once the energy vortex is sent to the North Pole's subspace position by detonation, it will instantly charge the twelfth impact and basically destroy the current global foundation of the Salvation Army. Under this dilemma, there is only one clumsy choice left, which is to attack upwards.

Fortunately, Li Ang and the Negative Stars still hope to use the most standard energy supply method to provide energy for the impact of the North and South Poles. They don't like to bet all their plans on probability, and this is also the last time for the Negative Stars.

However, on the fifth day of the tower raiding, people were still in despair.

No matter how hard they tried, there were even some traces of slaughter and explosions inside the giant tower, but they still had no way to rush up. There was still a distance of 5,000 meters to the top of the giant tower.

Although the Star Negators' lines became more and more sloppy and messy as time went on, it was impossible to break through all the Star Negators' defenses in one day, rush to 5,000 meters, defeat the God of Destruction on the top floor of the Antarctic Tower, and then shut down the power supply of the entire Antarctic Tower.

"Not enough time!"

In the camp outside the city, watching the images of countless psychic sentries broadcast in the Antarctic giant tower, the commander angrily punched the table and muttered in a low voice with an unwilling look on his face:

"We don't have enough time. No matter what, we don't have enough time. There are only 7,300 people left in the assault force on the 15,000-meter floor. Even if all the remaining areas are blank, they will need 26 hours to determine whether the pipelines and walking routes are correct... We don't have enough time."

In any case, there is still some time left.

Looking at the countless routes projected by magic on the table, all the commanders had sunken eyes and tired looks on their faces, and they numbly continued to plan and deploy the best attack routes.

Not only the troops fighting on the front line, but also the commanders in the rear had basically reached the final moment. They racked their brains to find the right direction from the interference of the negative star matrix, the inside information of the elves, and a series of player information, and broke through to 15,000 meters in six days.

This is already a great achievement worthy of being recorded in history, but it is still not enough for the Salvation Army at present.

In the bitter snowstorm of Antarctica, countless corpses and flames fell from the sky like raindrops. The blood of countless thousands of people flowed out from the bottom of the entire Antarctic giant tower, flooding the entire basin into a sea of ​​blood.

Even until the last moment, everyone had frantically sent the last supplies and ammunition into the interior of the giant tower to maintain their offensive, while they simply starved to death in the barracks.

But even so it is not enough, everyone has already risked their lives and it is still not enough.

...Is this the end?

Looking at the magnificent, terrifying tower that was constantly pouring blood and fire in all directions, everyone felt a flash of despair in their hearts. But the next moment, four wills overwhelmed the despair and stood up.

"...No, there is still time."

The four incarnations of the Chaos Gods slowly stood up in the headquarters, looking at the leaders around them with an expression as if they had finally made up their minds. "From the perspective of the Warp, although the ritual is almost complete, we still have a little time to estimate and sort it out with the power of the entire world. Although it is not as much as at the beginning, we can still intervene one last time."

"Really?!"

However, just as everyone was showing ecstatic expressions, golden ribbons began to spread in the camp. A young man who looked handsome and gentle was smiling at everyone in the camp.

"Yes, there is still the last minute. But I guess your gods can't do this, right? Although they are powerful, the subspace has been absorbed by me to this extent. What else can the hesitant gods do? Stop time for ten minutes? One hour? Five hours? But after that, the twelfth impact will instantly destroy all of you."

"Don't you still have gods? Wanting to fight me without paying anything, isn't that a bit too good to be true? God of Chaos. Come, use your desire to live to overwhelm my concept of self-destruction. If you really want to survive, why don't you show your true identity?"

"You're still thinking about preserving yourself at the last moment, thinking there will definitely be intelligent creatures or creatures that will survive as your backup? I'm here to tell you, none of them will."

The blond man smiled and raised a finger, smiling as he conveyed his kind advice.

"Not even a mayfly will survive. Everyone will need to enter reincarnation and evolve again. The idea that I would show mercy as you imagine never existed from the beginning."

"...Do we have to go this far? Leon? You should be able to feel that you have already achieved immortality."

"You never gave me a choice, and I won't give it to you now. One thing for one thing."

"..."

There was an awkward silence.

The command post just stared blankly at the conversation between the gods, vaguely feeling that this conversation seemed to carry their fate. After a while, the incarnation of the God of Change sighed.

"In a world without life, gods are meaningless. We are the mirror of reality, and if reality is completely annihilated, we cannot exist. There will always be thirst in the subspace. They may give birth to different gods and beliefs in the future, but that will no longer be us."

"We will lose all our existence, meaning, self, and soul to ensure that the final destruction will not happen. He is a self-destructive god, forever on the road of collapse and self-destruction. Although I don't know why he has a living body and his own thoughts, his essence will never change. He is destruction, the ultimate destruction. He will drag the whole world into eternal silence."

"So... rather than being sent into complete annihilation by him, it is better to fight him now!"

Looking at Le Ang's increasingly obvious smile, the shadow of a throne appeared behind the chaotic god. Countless prayers and wishes were turning into black and white ripples, spreading in all directions, slowing down the speed of all things in the world.

In other words, the speed of certain creatures is accelerated to infinity.

"Intelligent creatures! Protect your souls! If you do good, we will do good. If you do evil, we will do evil!"

"This is when time finally stops!"

"Hahahaha! Okay!"

Looking at the black and white colors covering him, Li Ang looked at himself who was fixed in place, laughed and said:

"That's great! You are indeed four tough guys! You are the Chaos Gods that represent intelligent creatures! Release all your energy! Give us all your lives! Only in this way can we gain enough strength to face this closed world! Start your performance! Leave everything to me!"

"See you again in millions of years, my wailing and corrupted brother."

"..."

Once again, time stood still.

However, the world is extremely noisy and bustling.

Without even needing anyone's orders, in that gray world, people silently, worked together, and rushed briskly to the top of the Antarctic Tower.

In the command room, the four gods who had turned into sculptures and thrones and were constantly disintegrating were watching the final struggle of these intelligent creatures, and they felt a little relieved. But the next moment, if they could move, they would definitely jump out in shock.

"...What a passionate and intelligent creature, don't you think?"

"?!"

Li Ang? Why?!

Why is Li Ang here? !

Looking at the man who walked out of everyone's sight into the Chaos Gods, stretched out his hand and looked at the crumbling Chaos wave with a smile, the eyes of the Gods were full of disbelief.

It shouldn't be like that. With the ritual of the warp to anchor, as a god of destruction, when destroying a place like this, it must be at the center of the ritual. That's not a joke or a fixed process, but the anchoring of the world. Since you want to take the responsibility of destroying the world, you will inevitably be at the origin under the pressure of the warp.

This is the same as the concept of Chaos Gods, which is engraved in the rules. The most powerful gods will perform the ritual on Doomsday, which is the basic rule of the subspace. There is no god who can escape the rules. In other words, even if time stops and does not run, Leon cannot walk out of his dome, the place he chose for the decisive battle. And now, how can Leon walk in front of them with his real body?
They could feel it, they could feel that the man with the spiral of destruction in his eyes and a smile on his face was definitely Leon's incarnation in the real world. But why did such a scene appear that made all the gods confused?

"Look at how intelligent life is united in purpose. It's so admirable."

Why are you unhappy about such an important scene?

Standing behind the four thrones, Leon put his hands behind his back and watched the endless armies pouring in from all directions and beginning to destroy his own spires layer by layer in the accelerated space and time, with a half-smile on his face.
