"Oh my god, is this suicide??" (Some Dust People thought that the mechs were controlled by people inside.)
"No...look, what are they going to do?"
Before the exclamations had even subsided, an astonishing scene unfolded below.
When the foremost Iron Guard 1 was only a hundred meters away from the ground composed of countless grotesque heads and bone spikes.
Buzz! Whoosh!
The shoulder armor of the twelve Iron Guard mechs split open simultaneously, instantly unfurling a honeycomb. Countless streamlined patrol missiles, each only the size of a fist and flashing with a dangerous red light, were suddenly ejected like a disturbed swarm of deadly bees.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
The sharp whistling sounds of missiles cutting through the air merged into a piercing death shriek as hundreds of patrol missiles traced dense and deadly trajectories in the sky, raining down like a storm. This was not indiscriminate bombing, but rather a precise regional allocation and trajectory calculation performed by the Loongson chip.
Boom boom boom boom boom! (Art is Patrick Star)
The next second, deafening explosions erupted one after another, as if the earth were turning over.
The first explosion occurred at the outermost edge of the Devouring Beast Tide. The intense flames and shockwaves instantly tore the outermost snake dogs and spine worms to pieces, immediately creating a brief vacuum zone and preventing the subsequent beast tide from pouring in.
The second wave of explosions landed precisely in the central area where the beast tide was densest, especially at the gathering points of those massive earth howls.
The high-energy explosion unleashed a devastating frenzy within the dense horde of beasts. The dark green acid sacs were detonated, mixing with the flames to create an even more terrifying secondary attack.
Countless Devouring Beasts were blasted to pieces, their severed limbs mixed with viscous blood and fragments of internal organs shooting into the sky. Their spiritual energy particles and cores were reduced to dust.
The previously crimson blood mist suddenly spread out, making the already dim sky even more eerie.
But this was merely the prelude to a symphony of destruction.
Before the flames and shockwaves of the explosion had completely dissipated, the surviving Devouring Beasts were disoriented and their formation was thrown into chaos by the sudden attack from the sky.
boom! boom! boom! boom! ! !
Twelve heavy, muffled thuds, like giant hammers crashing to the ground, came almost simultaneously. Iron Guard 1 through 12, like twelve metal grim reapers descending from the sky, crashed heavily to the ground.
The powerful impact sent the Devouring Beasts near the landing point flying, and those underfoot were crushed, their bodies cracking like spiderwebs as they fell to the ground.
The killing officially begins!
The twelve mechs instantly dispersed and charged into the chaotic horde of Devouring Beasts.
Iron Guard 1's right arm is fixed with a laser gun like a mobile turret. The electromagnetic laser gun barrel on the right arm flashes at a high frequency. Each time it lights up, it is accompanied by a blazing blue beam of light. The beam is precisely aimed at the Earth Roars in the distance, which are trying to organize a volley. The beam easily penetrates their thick bone armor and causes violent explosions inside their bodies.
Chapter 50 Metamorphosis of the Dipladenia
Iron Guard 2's left arm laser sword transformed into a deadly close-combat weapon. The azure electromagnetic laser sword emitted a high-frequency hum, and with each swing, it sliced the attacking snake-dog and spiky eel in half as easily as cutting tofu.
Iron Guard 3 spread its five fingers, the fingertips instantly deformed, and a miniature armor-piercing projectile shot out.
They specifically target those with thick skin and flesh, large snakes or small lumps of flesh, and the bullets, with their powerful penetrating force, pierce into their core or weak joints, causing damage from within.
Iron Guard No. 4 raised his left palm, and energy gathered in his palm, producing a dazzling white light.
A thick beam of energy shot out at maximum power, like a divine punishment, instantly vaporizing and evaporating the dozens of Devouring Beasts clustered together in the fan-shaped area in front, leaving only a large area of scorched black marks on the ground.
Iron Guard 5 raised its right arm, and scorching hot flames shot out, with a temperature of over 5000 degrees Celsius, specifically targeting the densely packed swarms of small spiny worms and spiny eels.
Wherever the flames passed, a pungent, burnt smell remained.
Many of the spines' bodies turned to ashes in the flames.
Iron Guard 6 faced a massive, charging tumor head-on. The nanounits in its left arm instantly reorganized and deformed, transforming into a high-speed rotating spiral impact arm with a sharp drill bit.
Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of metal scraping and bone shattering, he charged forward, the drill bit embedding itself deep into the tumor as if drilling into tofu, stirring wildly, the foul-smelling viscous fluid and broken tissue splattering like a fountain.
Iron Guard 7 and 8 opened their shoulders again while moving at high speed, clearing out all the remaining small patrol missiles and eliminating the Devouring Beasts that had regrouped around them.
Iron Guards 9 and 10 moved like elegant yet deadly hunters, drawing their Hummingbird Laser Guns from their waists to deliver precise kills at mid- to long-range distances.
Each time the trigger was pulled, a slender yet deadly blue beam shot out, precisely piercing the scarlet compound eyes or the core of the spirit particles of the distant Devouring Beast.
Iron Guard 11 and 12 stomped heavily on the ground, releasing shockwaves that spread out in concentric circles, distorting the air in visible light.
The Devouring Beasts within range were struck on the head as if by an invisible hammer, their eyeballs bulging, blood spurting from their mouths and noses, falling into deep dizziness or directly brain death and collapsing to the ground, creating an excellent opportunity for other Iron Guards to kill them.
fighting!
Efficient!
Precision!
The twelve mechs worked together as a perfectly coordinated killing machine.
Their movements were lightning fast and perfectly coordinated, the blades of their lightsabers and the beams of their laser guns intertwining to form a vast net.
The explosions and raging flames illuminated the battlefield, with precise single shots and ferocious area-of-effect attacks seamlessly integrated.
Wherever it passed, the Devouring Beasts fell in droves like harvested wheat.
The foul-smelling, viscous, dark red blood gushed out from countless broken wreckage like a burst dam, flowing wantonly across the cracked, scorched earth, quickly converging into streams of bloody, pungent filth.
Above the lighthouse, the entire place was deathly silent!
The enormous holographic screen was divided into multiple images, displaying the hellish scene below in real time.
Every angle, every Iron Guard's heroic fighting posture, and every destruction of the Devouring Beast are clearly projected and displayed before every human being in the Lighthouse.
Inside the flight control room, Jingnan and her men almost forgot to breathe, staring dumbfounded at the screen as if they were watching a very exaggerated war movie.
Inside the medical ward, the wounded soldiers lay on their beds, forgetting the pain; the doctors forgot the instruments in their hands; Luna covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Charles's face turned ashen, then transformed into a deep anger, along with an indescribable sense of apprehension and...greed.
The ordinary people and the upper class erupted in a chorus of exclamations.
"These mechs... are too powerful!"
"Look at that! He cleaved that huge monster in two with a single sword strike."
"Is it a miniature compressed laser? It seems even more powerful than our Hunters' energy guns?"
"Lord Chen Yuan! Lord Chen Yuan!"
"You are our savior!"
"No, great Lord of Shadows, please protect your devout followers."
The battle continued, with the twelve Iron Guards like a tireless killing storm, creating devastating vacuums in the sea of Devouring Beasts.
The twelve Iron Guards, like twelve indestructible silver blades, roamed freely within the flesh-and-blood millstone formed by the Devouring Beasts, stirring up waves of blood and gore.
However, the horror of the mana ecosystem will always exceed human imagination.
Just as the twelve Iron Guards were clearing out a pack of snake-dogs charging into formation...
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Heavy footsteps sounded, like ancient war drums, coming from the area shrouded in crimson fog behind the Devouring Beasts.
"Roar!!!"
A roar filled with savagery and destruction instantly drowned out all the screams and explosions on the battlefield. The sound seemed to come from the abyss, carrying a chilling pressure that made one's soul tremble.
The thick red fog was torn apart by a violent force, and a colossal creature, like a moving mountain, crashed into the battlefield.
Metamorphosis Dijaw Beast!
Its size far exceeds that of ordinary bijaw beasts, reaching a height of nearly thirty meters, resembling a war fortress built from dark red source crystals and twisted bone armor.
On its ferocious head, two pairs of enormous, battering ram-like bone jaws opened and closed, emitting a metallic scraping sound, and the saliva dripped onto the ground, corroding and producing wisps of blue smoke.
The mutated Dipladex's thick limbs are like towering pillars, leaving deep craters in the ground with each step.
What is most chilling is the thick spiritual energy particle bone armor covering its body, which has a dark red crystalline texture similar to cooled lava. It is covered with twisted, breathing scarlet patterns and exudes a terrifying abnormal life force far exceeding that of ordinary Devouring Beasts.
The mutated bijawed beast's crimson giant eyes immediately locked onto the twelve silver "insects" rampaging through the horde of beasts. They were a challenge to its dominance and had to be crushed.
"Alert! Energy reaction detected from an abnormal life form approaching the monarch level. Target: Metamorphic Dijaw Beast. Threat level: Extremely high!"
The urgent alarm from Loongson instantly rang out in the core processors of the twelve Iron Guardians, and was simultaneously transmitted to the Lighthouse Command Center, reaching the ears of everyone atop the Lighthouse.
The alarm had barely sounded when the giant beast launched its attack.
The mutated Dipladex didn't even run to gather strength; its massive body simply sank slightly, and its thick forelimbs, covered in heavy bone armor, suddenly rose up like two giant hammers falling from the sky, ruthlessly pressing down on Iron Guard 7 and Iron Guard 8, who were positioned relatively forward.
Its attack range and movement speed far exceed those of any previous Devouring Beast.
[Warning: Deadly physical attack. Energy shield cannot withstand it. Flight thrusters activated at maximum power. Evading!]
Loongson reacted with extreme speed. In the fraction of a second before the attack, Iron Guard 7 and 8 burst forth with an unprecedented, blindingly bright blue light.
The thick energy shield, like a materialized crystal barrier, instantly unfolded above and in front of them, but in the end, they still couldn't completely evade it.
Chapter 51 Sudden accident
boom! ! !
An indescribable roar suddenly erupted.
Its massive forelimbs, carrying immense force, slammed into the blue energy shield in an instant.
Click... Sizzle!
The seemingly indestructible energy shield, like fragile glass, was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
It shattered in less than half a second, and the violent impact poured down like a tsunami.
Iron Guard 7 and 8 were like being hit head-on by a high-speed train. Their lightweight alloy nanomachines were simply unable to resist this pure and extreme violence, and they instantly turned into two silver afterimages and were sent flying backward.
boom!boom!
Like cannonballs, they crashed through the dense horde of Devouring Beasts dozens of meters behind them, finally slamming heavily into a half-collapsed concrete ruin in the distance. Instantly, dust billowed into the sky, burying most of the machine. The blue shield on their bodies dimmed, and many parts of the armor were severely deformed and cracked, sparks flying.
With a single strike, the two powerful Iron Guards were instantly and severely damaged, almost losing their ability to fight completely.
Those who witnessed this scene from the lighthouse gasped in astonishment.
The afterimages of the two mechs that had been smashed and embedded in the rubble on the holographic screen were like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's hearts. The ground was really too dangerous. Could humans really resist such a huge beast?
Chen Yuan frowned; things seemed to be going beyond his expectations.
The mutated Diplademon let out a deafening roar, as if proclaiming its invincible lordship.
