I, Lord of Prayer

If asked what it feels like to be caught off guard, Zhou Chen could only answer that it was completely unexpected. ★😝 690x.ᶜoᵐ 🍬🐙

"Why use rocket artillery to bombard them...?"

Damn it, why?

Upon learning of Jiang Che's bombing plan, Zhou Chen felt a wave of dizziness and asked the following question.

"Convenience is definitely the best option."

Jiang Che calmly said, "Is there any reason not to use such an efficient method?"

Those who survive the explosion must be Ascended Ones, important members of the Eternal Flame. After being ravaged by the explosion, they will inevitably be in a weakened state and unable to put up much resistance, which will play a crucial role in the operation.

"I understand the logic, but I'm in there too!"

Zhou Chen asked angrily, "Are you planning to kill me too?"

"Don't you have alchemical armor?" Jiang Che sighed. Did she really look ruthless?

"Oh right... what about Li Xiaoxiao? What if a missile hits us in the face?"

"Through meticulous calculations, we have determined the impact point of each missile and the range of its explosive force. As long as you stay in the conference room, you will be safe."

As Jiang Che said this, Zhou Chen heard a sharp whistling sound from the sky.

Immediately following was a deafening explosion; the earth trembled violently, as if a magnitude 12 earthquake, a magnitude 12 hurricane, and a magnitude 12 volcanic eruption had all struck simultaneously, instantly engulfing the entire manor in a fiery inferno. ° 🎀 08M.K. 🎀 °

One, two, three... Huge fireballs rose up, blooming into magnificent mushroom clouds in the night sky.

The storm raged, and wherever the scorching winds passed, everything was engulfed in dazzling flames.

The walls of the conference room collapsed in an instant, and the windows shattered into pieces.

The scorching flames and shockwaves surged in like a tsunami. Zhou Chen judged that there was no need to summon the alchemical armor for this level of impact, so he raised his left hand and summoned an alloy round shield to protect himself.

boom!

Everyone was an Ascended Being, and they almost instinctively took a defensive stance, but they were still thrown away by the terrifying impact. Some crashed heavily into the wall, while others smashed through the wall and flew out of the room.

Smoke billowed as Zhou Chen coughed and got up from the corridor, covered in dust and dirt. He was one of the people who had been thrown out of the room.

Rumble... The corridor floor began to collapse. He suddenly jumped backward, creating several meters of space as if he were flying. The next second, the spot where he had just been collapsed, and the fall sent up a cloud of dust.

Countless shrill screams of cultists echoed from the floors below. The terrifying heat from the missiles, enough to melt steel, erupted and engulfed the entire manor building the moment it hit the ground.

Most of the believers, being ordinary people, naturally had no ability to resist. In the blink of an eye, some died and some were injured. Those who survived could only scream helplessly and desperately.

Destruction struck at that moment.

  

The luxurious estate was engulfed in flames and thick smoke, a scene of utter devastation.

"Initiate...the ritual..." In the distance, blood trickled from the spider's forehead as it pulled a black card from the cleavage of its chest and ripped it in two with a ripping sound.

The card quickly burned to ashes, and then the screams downstairs turned into inhuman shrieks.

Flames, pitch-black flames of death, rose from every corner of the manor, spreading and climbing outwards like demons from hell, extinguishing the crimson fire brought by the missiles.

The intense and terrifying abyssal fire raged unrestrainedly at this moment, corrupting and transforming all the believers.

The charred corpses, whether broken or intact, fused together under the burning of the black flames, gradually transforming into bizarre abyssal creatures.

Fire slaves, demonic hounds, two-headed wolves, fiery pythons... and many more bizarre fusion monsters emerged from the abyss fire, exuding a strong spiritual pollution and an aura of calamity originating from the abyss.

Just then, a tantalizing grenade was thrown into the midst of many abyssal creatures. It rolled and rolled until it finally rolled to the feet of one of the abyssal creatures.

boom!

Flames rose and metal fragments flew—these were alchemy-enchanted grenades, highly lethal to abyssal creatures. Amidst inhuman screams and wails, gunshots rang out as members of the Raven Legion and Star Alliance agents stormed into the castle from all directions, their enchanted weapons spewing flames of death.

To carry out the slaughter efficiently.

At this moment, the aftershocks of the explosion resurged, and the sound of collapse could be heard from many parts of the villa. Zhou Chen glanced over and saw that the wall next to Li Xiaoxiao was about to collapse. He rushed over and took her away the moment the wall collapsed.

With a thunderous roar, amidst the billowing dust, Zhou Chen looked at Li Xiaoxiao in his arms, his eyes filled with concern and worry.

Are you alright?

He was actually worried about me... For some reason, such a thought flashed through Li Xiaoxiao's mind. She nodded and was about to speak when a gunshot rang out from the collapsed area of ​​the corridor.

"Shh, hurry up, the attackers are prepared, we shouldn't linger." Zhou Chen's face was solemn as he helped Li Xiaoxiao walk forward, like a loyal subordinate.

"Where are we going?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.

"Of course you'd be walking right into a trap! You deserve a first-class merit..." Zhou Chen's expression turned solemn: "We need to escape. Is there a safe passage here?"

Li Xiaoxiao's expression was gloomy and uncertain. The attack came too suddenly, and she was still a little dazed: "Go to the fourth floor. There is a hidden passage that leads directly underground. I don't know if it's still there."

When the two arrived at the stairs, they found that the place had already been bombed and was completely empty. Looking down, they were hit by a wave of heat and could only see the charred craters burning with flames.

Fortunately, the ascendants' physical abilities allow them to jump directly up.

"Please, let's keep her here, okay?"

A voice sounded from behind them.

In the shadow cast by the door, darkness writhed, and a figure slowly rose.

He was a Western-looking man wearing a top hat, a black tailcoat, a bow tie, and holding an ornate cane.

--gentleman!

Zhou Chen's heart sank to the bottom. As expected, the gentleman would appear in the chaos. Jiang Che had already guessed this and made relevant preparations. However, the plan was for the Raven Legion to target the gentleman, not him!

He was just a pathetic, weak, and helpless traitor.

At this moment, Zhou Chen's feet suddenly sank, as if he were trapped in a quagmire and could not extricate himself. Looking down, he saw that his shadow had turned into a black quagmire, which was swallowing him up.

A shadow pool also appeared beneath Li Xiaoxiao's feet, but it was instantly burned to ashes by the Chaos Fire. Without even glancing at Zhou Chen, she suddenly jumped to a higher floor and fled on her own with heavy footsteps.

The gentleman quickly melted into a pool of shadow and chased after her upwards along the crack in the wall. His primary target was always Li Xiaoxiao; dealing with Zhou Chen would only waste time.

Holy crap, what a scumbag! She just ran away like that?

Zhou Chen's eyes widened as pale flames ignited beneath his feet, causing the Shadow Pool to boil violently until it collapsed. He then jumped onto it, hurriedly following Li Xiaoxiao and the gentleman.
