The spell's range covers the entire territory of China? Hand it over to the state.

The perspective shifts back to the Kunlun Mountains, where the battle has not become any easier despite the soldiers' valor.

"Pooh!"

Huang Lei spat out a mouthful of sand. His helmet had long since flown off, revealing a buzz cut with a few withered grasses hanging from it.

Although his soldiers were protected by the golden light created by Su Yun, making them virtually immortal, the battle was fought in a very humiliating manner.

"Commander! We can't hold on!"

The battalion commander rolled over, covered in dust and dirt. "These bastards can't kill us, but we can't get close to them either! Especially that skinny winged monkey flying in the sky, he's too sneaky!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Lei narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky.

Hermes was hovering there. This messenger from Greek mythology had lost all trace of the amiable demeanor of the "god of commerce." Hermes brandished his famous caduceus, and with each swing, space began to fold strangely.

The shells, before even touching the monster, inexplicably veered off course, either burrowing into the ground or exploding above the soldiers' heads.

That's not even the worst part.

The most disgusting ones are those cyclops.

Although these big guys had their legs blown off, their regenerative abilities were simply outrageous. The granulation tissue at the broken ends grew wildly, and the bones were set in no time. Moreover, these monsters had no sense of martial ethics whatsoever; they uprooted several ancient pine trees as thick as two people could hug at the foot of Kunlun Mountain and swung them around like baseball bats.

With one blow, whether it's a tank or an armored vehicle, they're all reduced to scrap metal.

The soldiers might not die, but they could be driven into the permafrost by tree trunks weighing several tons, and it would take them a long time to climb out. This caused the entire defense line to be shattered and unable to hold on.

"madness."

Above the clouds, Hermes looked down at the struggling human army and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Unlike Ares, a brute who only knows hand-to-hand combat, Hermes views war as an art.

"Immortality? It is indeed a troublesome rule." Hermes toyed with the serpent staff in his hand, his eyes indifferent. "But what use is immortality if you are buried hundreds of meters underground, or locked in a spatial cage? Even gods, when suppressed in the abyss, cannot move."

"Pass down the order."

Hermes commanded the legions below, "Ignore those iron lumps, use the terrain to create an avalanche! Bury these Eastern ants!"

roar--!!!

The cyclops received their command and abandoned their prey, turning instead to shake the mountainside beside them. Their massive arm muscles bulged, and the already fragile permafrost groaned under their strain.

Rumble!

The avalanche, mixed with mudslides, rolled down from the heights. Their objective was clear: to bury the entire 358th Regiment alive.

Inside the command center, everyone stared intently at the screens; no one spoke.

On the screen, countless small green dots representing the soldiers' vital signs were lit up, but their coordinates were rapidly decreasing—a signal that they were being buried in the ground.

"These Western theologians are cunning!" Long Yi's fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "They're actually playing geological warfare with us! If this keeps up, the 358th Regiment will be buried alive at the Kunlun Pass!"

The others also looked anxious: "The immortality buff can only save our lives, it can't solve our current predicament. We must break their asymmetrical attack methods! Especially those artifacts and giant weapons, their suppressive power against us is too great."

Zhang Daoxuan subconsciously looked at Su Yun: "Little Su, do you have a solution?"

"Of course." Su Yun did not disappoint him and pressed his palm down.

……

hum!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any dazzling light effects.

An invisible ripple, centered on the command center, swept across most of the blue planet in an instant.

These ripples do not harm people, plants, or even kill a fly.

But the moment it swept across the Kunlun Pass, the whole world underwent a strange change.

Suddenly, a voice rang out between heaven and earth, a standard, clear, and resonant broadcast, as if it came from a loudspeaker in a neighborhood office, loud and unquestionable:

"Ahead lies China, where the gods forbid passage!"

"Effective immediately, the entire area is under strict security control! Bringing controlled knives, flammable and explosive materials, and illegally created artifacts is strictly prohibited!"

"All migrant workers are requested to cooperate with the inspection!"

Hermes, who was directing the monsters to move the mountain, froze.

Before he could even grasp the meaning of those words, the battlefield below suddenly took a dramatic turn.

A 20-meter-tall Cyclops is swaggering around, carrying a massive ancient pine tree, ready to smash a tank. The pine tree weighs several tons; if it were to smash it, it would flatten not only the tank but also a bunker.

However, just as the ripples swept across...

The ancient pine tree, which had been uprooted and was half-dead, suddenly came back to life and grew rapidly, sprouting new buds in a flash.

Not only did it survive, it also regained its vitality.

The once bare tree trunk was instantly covered with tender green branches and leaves, and the root system grew wildly downwards.

The Cyclops was about to swing his arm to smash something when suddenly the "weapon" in his hand became incredibly heavy. The roots wrapped around his arm and plunged into the ground!

roar?

The Cyclops was dumbfounded. It tried to pull upwards with all its might, but the tree roots were more firmly planted than the foundation of its grandmother's house. Not only that, the tree crown began to bloom and bear fruit at a visible speed, and a bunch of large pine cones fell down, hitting the Cyclops all over.
