those out hunting, those staying in the Sanctuary, Awakeners, or just ordinary people, all felt a strong sense of tremor on this day.
"Was there an earthquake somewhere?"
Some survivors worried.
Awakeners were also bewildered.
Hardly anyone knew what had happened, only the top managers of each Sanctuary were aware that the heroes guarding the large Sanctuaries had been summoned not long ago.
What exactly happened?
The mountains and rivers were shattered, with no trace of the original surface remaining in a hundred-mile radius. The ground was pulverized and intently ground into powder; the underground river’s water gushed out, only to evaporate quickly.
The "Thunder God" held a silver giant hammer, his breath unstable.
His arm cracked open, like porcelain, with endless Thunder Light emerging from the cracks.
This was the consequence of him forcefully unleashing a technique he hadn’t yet mastered and burning his Origin.
A moment later, the cracked arm finally returned to its original state, but the aura of "Thunder God" Hansa had declined somewhat compared to the beginning.
Around the "Thunder God" were the "Black Dragon," and two more new Transcendent Second Tier experts of the Hero Club, all rushing from various places to support.
The other Senior Transcendents maintained at least a five-kilometer distance from the giant snake.
The giant snake was coiled at the center, and there were dense, small black dots in the sky around it.
Those were Rune Mechs, with jet ports on their backs emitting strong air currents as they streaked across the sky.
The Mech Battle Group!
The most elite battle group of the Hero Club, with several High Tier Awakeners piloting mechs that could even contend with the Transcendent.
Yet, when facing the giant snake, the most elite mech battle group of the Hero Club could not leave a single mark, despite countless energy beams raining down.
"Left wing, entangle the giant snake!"
On the left side of the battlefield, more than a dozen mechs quickly mobilized, tangling with the giant snake with agile flight trajectories.
Compared to the hundreds of meters high red giant snake, each mech was tinier than a fly.
Agility is their advantage!
Moreover, they can fly!
The red giant snake’s tail swung high up and slammed down hard, flinging shattered stones hundreds of meters high.
The mech pilot hastily controlled the mech to elevate higher; only one mech reacted a moment too late and was struck by a giant rock the size of a two-story building, suffering some degree of damage.
"Be careful, scatter and evade!"
The pilots heard shouts through the communication system and instinctively scattered around.
A thick red beam shot and exploded a mech; the beam did not dissipate and continued to sweep surrounding areas intensely.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The sky was filled with exploding mechs, with not even a scrap of debris left. In an instant, more than half of the mechs guarding the left wing were wiped out.
"The Thunder God" wore an incredibly grave expression.
The Mech Battle Group suffered significant losses, recoverable in no less than one or two years.
The loss of Transcendent Tier heroes made his heart bleed even more.
Whether Fourth Epoch Awakeners or Fifth Epoch native residents, it took both talent and opportunity to break through to the Transcendent in a mere few years amidst the apocalypse.
They still had the potential to reach greater heights, and losing any hero considerably hurt the war potential of the Hero Club.
But he must block the giant snake.
This is his North America. Without a strong person to stop it, once the red giant snake rampages, it wouldn’t take long for the entire North America to turn into a wasteland like South America.
He, the dignified Thunder God, would also become a vagrant.
"Are the survivors evacuated?"
"All Sanctuaries within a 500-kilometer radius have started guiding survivors to evacuate, but they can’t get far in a short time."
"What about reinforcements from the Green Shadow?"
"Our message has been sent out. The Green Shadow has a Transmission Array in our North America, and their reinforcements will arrive shortly. Other Holy Lands’ reinforcements might be slower than the Green Shadow, but they’ll arrive quickly as well."
The Thunder God took a deep breath.
His Origin depletion had exceeded 30%, equating to 30% of his total Origin of 400%; an ordinary Transcendent Second Tier would have been drained already.
Even so, his combat power had already started to decline.
He chuckled at himself, "If they delay a bit longer, by the time reinforcements arrive, I might have no strength left to fight."
High in the sky, seven or eight kilometers away from the red giant snake, space gradually distorted, forming a gigantic vacuum hole.
All light was absorbed into the hole as if it was a terrifying giant mouth.
A massive colossus, nearly blotting out the sky, flew out from the hole, like an aerial island.
The front of this Floating Airship and the wings on both sides were lined with a series of cannons, its biomimetic streamlined design making it look like a giant Kun soaring through the sky from afar. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn Nove1Fire.net
It blocked the sunlight, casting the earth in shadow.
"It’s the ’Kun-level Floating Airship’ from Green Shadow, the legendary Kun-level Floating Airship!"
The Giant Cannon Hero from the Hero Club said excitedly.
Years ago, the Giant Cannon Hero lost his right arm in a battle but was lucky enough to be successfully transformed, with a Divine Weapon Level Hand Cannon integrated into his right arm, increasing his combat power instead of reducing it, ranking among the top within the three hundred heroes.
The Kun-level Floating Airship from Green Shadow, with its array of Super Energy Cannons, was the truth in the eyes of the Giant Cannon Hero.
"It’s said that the Kun-level Floating Airship is the masterpiece of the Green Shadow’s research department, integrating much of the Holy City’s technology. Each Kun-level Floating Airship is a reinforced N-version carrier, capable of dominating a large-scale war.
If we can one day reach the stars and seas, and expand outward, a single Kun-level Floating Airship can suppress an entire planet!"
The Kun-level Floating Airship flew out from the twisted space hole, which quickly closed behind it, thanks to the planet’s self-healing space ability.
