Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 803: Chapter 375: Awakening

The enormous warship squeezed out from the fissure, and before it could completely disengage from the crack, the Human Army launched a concentrated fire!

Stationed on the mountain dam, the Human Army resisted the Scale Remains Civilization army landing from beneath the water, while simultaneously seizing the high ground, aiming their longest-range weapons at the giant ship. In that instant, countless guns and cannons roared, blooming brilliant firelight under the night sky.

Humans naturally wouldn’t allow such a massive warship, clearly a deadly weapon, to successfully enter.

However, the fissure was too far from the mountain dam, surpassing the range of many conventional weapons. The remaining firepower struggled to penetrate the Spiritual Barrier of the warship.

Yet, on the giant ship, hundreds of cannons were raised, dozens of missile silos opened, and the terrifying caliber of the main gun harbored unimaginable power.

It unleashed a terrifying barrage in just an instant.

Beams of Light Spears blasted out as if to illuminate the skies, bombarding the mountain dam and tearing huge sections of the mountains apart.

These mountains were Taboo Items, defenses built with Restful Yellow Soil to protect against the Endless Water of the Scale Remains.

At that moment, the mountains shattered, seawater gushed out, and the amphibious troops hidden beneath the surface took the opportunity to break through the mountain defenses!

A large number of amphibious troops emerged from behind the defense line, beginning to attack the Human Army on the mountains.

“Keep driving the Restful Yellow Soil, don’t let the defense line fall! Let the Iron Guard Army hold them off; I’ll be there shortly!” An officer in the Human Army roared. His right hand was a mechanical prosthetic, allowing him to lift the heavy Chain-Saw Sword with one hand.

“When can reinforcements arrive?” the officer asked.

“Even with a forced march, it’ll take several hours; we’re too far from the exit here!” the Legion Political Commissioner responded.

“No matter how long it takes, we must hold out for this period.” The officer spoke.

However, in the next second, the Political Commissioner’s pupils contracted.

Almost instantaneously, a humanoid monster covered in scales emerged from the shadows, thrusting a thrust sword straight at the Legion’s back.

As a Spiritual Ability User, the Legion Political Commissioner didn’t hesitate for a second, colliding directly with the humanoid creature, ignoring the piercing pain in his chest. He forcibly pushed back the assassin, thrusting a military knife violently into the assassin’s back. The officer also roared, swinging the Chain-Saw Sword to slice off the assassin’s arm. Soldiers and Iron Guards rushed over to kill the assassin.

The dying Political Commissioner stared wide-eyed, clutching the officer’s arm tightly: “Old Wang, we can’t lose, we can’t afford to… hold on…”

“Don’t go too far, I’ll be there very soon.”

Looking at the now lifeless commissioner, the officer’s eyes were red. Yet he suppressed his grief to continue issuing orders, selecting a successor who, if he died or lost contact, would take command of his unit. The battle against humanity’s enemies must go on!

And similar assassinations were enacted within the Human Army.

The Scale Remains Civilization targeted the officers of the Human Army for decapitation strikes.

But this did not disrupt the human defense line. Successors inherited the fallen’s will, continuing to command the troops in the brutal battle against the Scale Remains army.

More and more Scale Remains troops were deployed into battle, their numbers and technology overwhelming, leaving humanity to resist with courage and determination! The battlefield grew bloodier and more intense.

In the high-altitude battlefield, the Spiritual Ability Users focused on a figure behind the giant ship.

Even before stepping out of the fissure, that figure exuded an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.

Everyone observing that figure felt their Soul Well trembling.

That was suppression above the life level…

“Overlord?”

“No, it’s a Supreme!” Captain Huo said solemnly.

“Have they become unafraid of the Heavenly Tribulation? To dispatch combat strength above an Overlord!”

“No, if that were the case, they wouldn’t send just one Supreme.” a strong voice analyzed, “He only appeared after the giant ship emerged. Perhaps there is some technology on the ship that temporarily shields a Supreme from the threat of the Heavenly Tribulation. Sha Li, can you divine it?”

Responding was a female Ye Boshou from the Champion Team One.

During Li Yelai’s Second Awakening period, the team stationed in the Black Prison faced the Black Prison Out-of-Control incident.

At the time, to break through the space disturbance caused by the Taboo Item, Mobius Ring Map.

Sha Li wore the Taboo Item, Phantom Mask Strategy, gaining powerful and precise divination abilities.

The price was losing all memories after the age of eighteen. All her past experiences were lost.

Even when the officials provided all previous records of her, she couldn’t recall a single detail, nor remember the young man who had always been kind to her.

Yet after her recovery, she chose to return to Champion Team One, reclaiming the code name ‘Sha Li,’ becoming an invincible Ye Boshou for the team.

Now, with a pale face, she quickly calculated. Then, she replied, “It appears they can block the Heavenly Tribulation for a period; they intend to act within that timeframe. Their Domain is unfolding… I cannot foretell the exact time, but it will certainly exceed thirty minutes.”

“So, in the worst-case scenario, that Supreme can act after thirty minutes?” A female voice sounded, unmistakably the Wilderness Ranger, Yun Yue.

She stood with a Horse-Cutting Blade atop a distant cliff.

Previously, she assisted the officials and family members several times, even rescuing the heavily injured Captain Lie Yang, improving their view of Rangers significantly.
