Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Inside the core chamber of the floating city, Liu Nian, having returned, naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to attack the Pharaoh's main city, especially to personally experience the floating city's combat power.

He looked through the crystal in the core compartment—whoa, the Death Silence Orb Launcher!

This thing is no joke. Whether it's at the bottom of Eternal Dark Lake or on the small island in the Realm of Sin, its destructive power is terrifying!

Fortunately, the floating city is no pushover either.

The global defense array was activated the instant the jump was completed. A light blue energy shield silently unfolded, covering the entire floating city.

The bone spear struck the shield, exploding into clumps of grayish-white bone fragments without even causing a ripple in the shield.

The arrows were deflected, and the stone projectiles were blocked. The dark purple energy pillar that shot out from the Bone Soul Obelisk struck the shield, exploding into a dazzling light, with energy scattering like fireworks, but the shield remained completely unmoved.

The runes on the floating city walls lit up simultaneously, and red light flowed inside the shields, like blood surging in veins.

The city's defense system is functioning normally, and the shield's strength is stable. In particular, with the psionic core acting as a perpetual motion machine-like energy source, the shield is continuously replenished, resulting in an absurdly strong endurance.

To be honest, apart from those few things that can launch Death Orbs which are somewhat threatening, the undead's other attack methods are basically just tickling the floating city.

Inside the core compartment, Liu Nian stood in front of the control panel, his eyes fixed on the rows of fluctuating data—energy consumption, shield strength, weapon charging progress… After all, this was his own valuable asset, so he had to keep an eye on it and make a run for it if anything seemed amiss!

Therefore, he will not directly participate in the battle this time, but will instead stay in the floating city and activate the Heavenly Transformation Technique to protect the safety of the floating city when necessary.

Arachne and Mia stood on either side of them. One was checking various data of the floating city, occasionally reporting a few numbers; the other was calibrating the various city-level weapons, her fingers moving in and out of the air as if playing the piano.

"The shield is in good condition, and energy consumption is within the expected range," Arachne reported.

Liu Nian nodded: "Alright, just taking a beating without fighting back isn't our style. Let's start the counterattack!"

"Master authorizes, city weapon system—activated." Miya'er's voice echoed in the core room, tinged with excitement, as if she had finally waited for this moment.

At the bottom of the floating city, four fully repaired magic phase cannons simultaneously emerged from a hidden compartment. Their barrels, dozens of meters long, their surfaces covered in densely packed runes, and the eerie blue energy flowing within those runes—they looked utterly ferocious!

Under Arachne's calibration, the cannon muzzles were already aimed at the Bone Soul Obelisks inside the four main gates of Nach City.

Arachne's insight was shrewd: these things are definitely the key energy source for the defensive shield of Neh City, so as long as these four things can be destroyed, the city's defenses will be paralyzed by more than half!

Light began to gather at the muzzle, and the hum grew louder and louder. The blue sphere of light rapidly expanded from the size of a fist to the size of a wheel, and then to the size of a house, distorting the air in front of the muzzle.

"Magical Phase Cannon fully charged, fire!"

Four beams of light shot out simultaneously from the magic phase cannon, each beam composed of pure, compressed psionic energy.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was ionized, leaving behind streaks of blue, hissing ions, as if four wounds had been slashed across the sky.

Then—thump!

The beam of light struck the shield atop the Bone Soul Obelisk squarely.

But soon, on the city wall near the four obelisks, the runes suddenly exploded into clusters of dark purple halos, as if they were desperately channeling the energy of the phase cannons. The runes on the entire section of the city wall lit up, and these runes fed the energy back to the shield. Goodness, this shield can not only block, but also absorb energy, and it even grows bigger after absorbing it!

It is a perfect closed loop.

Liu Nian, of course, also realized that this was a city shield capable of absorbing energy weapons and converting it into its own defense, roughly equivalent to:

People throw poop at me, I'll make egg tarts out of it; people throw poop at me, I'll make pizza out of it~ Oh oh oh oh~ No seats!

As the energy became more abundant, the distorted and terrifying undead faces on the city's protective shield began to take on a three-dimensional form. Their features became clearer and their mouths opened wider and wider, seemingly with the possibility of breaking through the shield and becoming a physical entity.

The scene was terrifying; it was like watching a horror movie, as if those things were really going to crawl out of the shield at any moment.

The beam of light lasted for ten seconds, then slowly dissipated.

"First round of firing failed to penetrate." Miya'er's voice rang out in the core compartment, still calm, but Liu Nian could detect a tiny bit of resentment.

Liu Nian decisively ordered: "Transfer energy to the Withering Domain Mage Tower, prepare for a second round of attack on the target!"

Then the two Withering Domain mage towers began to unleash their power.

At the top of the mage tower, dark purple energy began to condense.

That was a withering power different from the previous phase magic cannon!

Energy condensed into a huge gray sphere, with countless tiny electric arcs jumping on its surface. Each time an arc jumped, the sphere expanded by one size.

"Withering Domain - Release!"

Both mage towers simultaneously unleashed thick, dark purple beams of light. This time, they skipped the obelisk and went straight for the shield itself.

The moment the two beams of light struck the shield, they exploded into two enormous, hemispherical, dark purple domains, almost covering half the city.

Then, the faces that were materializing on the shields withered away at a visible speed!

The Withering Realm is entropy energy, which is negative energy. To put it bluntly, it not only doesn't replenish your energy, but it also absorbs your energy!

This is like giving your opponent a red envelope before, and now you're taking money out of their pocket.

Back and forth, the shield's strength visibly began to drop.

At this moment, the celestial control system of the floating city also began to operate. Dark clouds began to gather all around, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and strong winds blew, as if a storm was about to break!

Clearly, a third wave of attacks is on the horizon!

As the attacks from the floating city grew increasingly fierce, the beast god's avatars in Nahe City finally lost their composure.

Six dark golden beams of light lit up almost simultaneously, shooting straight into the sky.

Pillars of light shot into the sky from different areas of the city, piercing the shadows cast by the floating city and weaving into a huge array of dark gold runes in the sky.

The array of runes descended and merged into the city's protective shield—the shield instantly changed!
