Without the ability to resist the Life Cicada's absorption, and unable to kill two A-class Zerg in one go, couldn't he be practical and kill a few low-class Zerg first? At least that would ease some pressure!
Sensing the supplement, the giant eye blinked again.
This time, it focused its absorption. Even though Chu Dao stood at the very edge of the battlefield, he lost even more Spiritual Power than Edwood, causing the metal gear behind him to dissipate directly.
The ordinary citizens watching the live broadcast soon noticed this. Although this was a critical moment and they shouldn't dampen morale, still...
"Am I missing something? It feels like after that Chu guy went in, he did nothing and took himself down."
"I think you're right, because he's now directly on the ground!"
"He didn't do nothing! Didn't you see the A-class Zerg recovered much faster!!!!!!"
Six exclamation marks were enough to show the sender's breakdown.
On the live feed, the A-class Zerg Venomous Wasp and Blade Ant had fully recovered and charged straight at Edwood, intent on eliminating the last threats on the battlefield.
"The Chu family is useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Both inside and outside the battlefield were on the verge of collapse.
If Edwood fell, no one would be able to stop the Zerg invasion.
The night was so dark, with no moon or stars, as silent as a tomb.
Inside Anxin Hospital, Professor Hu stared fixedly at Chu Ran, who had yet to break out of the stone cocoon. Everyone seemed to have forgotten Chu Ran's existence, but Professor Hu's gaze never left her.
"We're really not going to act?"
One of the powerful presences at the Garbage Dump couldn't help but speak.
Although they had a secret mission, they couldn't just watch the Seventh Sub-Star be butchered by the Zerg.
"Edwood won't die so easily."
As soon as the words fell, Edwood's head was cut off by the Blade Ant.
"Aaaaaaaaaaah!"
The ordinary citizens watching the live broadcast screamed in despair, some collapsing, others rushing to their bedrooms to pack and flee to the starport.
There's still time, still time—they might live!
Edwood's corpse suddenly exploded, and the intense, terrified aura of death coalesced into a giant phantom.
"This is the true descent of the God of Death."
The dark gray mist, like a tsunami engulfing everything, rapidly harvested the lives of all the Zerg and Zerg Beasts on the field.
The two A-class Zerg were also trapped within.
But the life force they lost did not come from themselves. The golden powder increased, and the soldiers and Spiritists in the battlefield died rapidly.
Edwood noticed this and closed his eyes helplessly. This was a deadlock even the God of Death could not change.
Half of the dark mist surged toward the space rift, trying to force back the giant eye.
But the dense golden powder blocked the attack.
Damn it!
Flames of death burned in Edwood's eye sockets.
Suddenly, golden light burst forth, piercing the death mist and the life-draining golden powder alike. Everything vanished in the golden light.
The stone cocoon around Chu Ran exploded.
Mist swirled and gathered beneath her feet, forming a somersault cloud. Her red cape rustled. The black Divine Stone staff's outer shell cracked and fell off, revealing a golden rod.
If the Sixteen-Legged Blood Spider were still alive, it would have been horrified to find that Chu Ran no longer emanated the aura of an A-class unknown god, but an S-class unknown god.
This time, Chu Ran did not lose consciousness.
She pointed with one hand, freezing the Venomous Wasp and Blade Ant in place. Then her figure shifted, and three identical forms appeared before everyone.
Two clones simultaneously raised the golden rod and smashed down from the sky with intense golden light. Bang!
With one blow, they shattered two A-class Zerg.
The giant eye tinged with blood. A massive amount of golden powder was about to fall, but Chu Ran's somersault cloud moved thousands of miles in an instant, bringing her before the space rift.
The Golden Cudgel grew infinitely large. Behind Chu Ran manifested the Dharma of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. With one swing, she pierced the giant eye directly. A piercing shriek came from beyond the space rift.
Transparent tears fell from the space rift, brimming with intense vitality.
The S-class Life Cicada reluctantly retreated from the space rift, but a large number of Zerg Beasts and low-class Zerg followed.
Chu Ran's form shifted again. Hundreds of clones simultaneously swung the Golden Cudgel, blocking the tide of Zerg Beasts before the space rift.
"Is that Chu Ran?!"
"Didn't she have only E-level Spiritual Power?!"
"The god she invoked—I've never seen that form before!"
"You're missing the point! The important thing is, I don't have to abandon my home and flee, hahahaha, I don't have to run!"
Professor Hu stood like a statue, silently watching the live feed. A tear fell, then a second, a third...
She was right. Everything she had paid was worth it!
She covered her eyes, sobbing uncontrollably. Hu Meng stood behind her, quietly lowering her gaze.
Deep in the Garbage Dump.
"Who is that?"
"This god's aura is a bit unfamiliar."
"Mother and daughter should be of the same god system."
"You might be right, but who is her mother?"
"..."
The Zerg chose a swarm tactic.
Five minutes passed. Ten minutes passed.
The people in front of the broadcast calmed down and began to worry.
Can she hold out?
