96: Chapter 96 Opening the Golden Tower

"Alright, listen to me!"

He turned to look at the team members with wind attributes: "Everyone who can wield Silver Rank wind-attribute energy, come here."

The wind-attribute team members exchanged glances. Although they did not understand what he was going to do, they still walked up to Qin Ce one by one.

Qin Ce pointed at the Azure Phoenix and said, "Later, you will continuously inject your wind-attribute energy into the Azure Phoenix through your palms. The more the better, and keep it stable."

The team members looked at each other.

"Inject into the Azure Phoenix? But it..."

"Just do it, don't worry." Qin Ce interrupted them.

The team members took a deep breath, raised their hands simultaneously, and pressed them onto the Azure Phoenix.

The next moment.

Rich wind-attribute energy, like floodwater released from a dam, surged wildly into the Azure Phoenix!

The Azure Phoenix let out a low cry, and the cyan light around its body instantly flared up!

Meanwhile, Qin Ce turned and stood in front of the control console.

The Azure Phoenix then stepped forward, wrapping its wings around Qin Ce, enveloping him with its entire body.

Qin Ce closed his eyes, and the next moment, he connected to the energy within the Azure Phoenix.

He recited silently in his heart.

Nine-fold Azure Sky · Second Fold · Wind Control.

Run at full power!

Hum!

The wind-attribute energy that had surged into the Azure Phoenix was guided, integrated, and compressed by the Wind Control talent, then flowed into Qin Ce through the contract link!

Qin Ce's body shook violently.

He could feel a terrifying power surging wildly within his body!

That was Silver Rank energy!

No, not just Silver Rank—

The energy of five Silver Rank wind-attribute Beast Tamers had all converged within him!

Coupled with the Azure Phoenix's own energy, and the compression and purification of the Wind Control talent—

The level of this power was climbing wildly!

Silver Mid-grade, Silver High-grade, Silver Peak—

Then—

Boom!

Qin Ce opened his eyes abruptly!

In that instant, the energy fluctuations that erupted from his body made everyone around him instinctively take a step back!

Gold Rank!

They were somewhat incredulous.

That was Gold Rank!

Although it wasn't a true Gold Rank, the energy level had truly reached that height of the Gold Rank!

Qin Ce did not waste time.

He raised his hands and pressed them directly onto the control console!

Mental power and energy surged in wildly!

This time, there was no alarm.

This time, there was no refusal.

Hum—

The body of the golden tower lit up again with a brilliant golden light!

The runes on the control console were all activated!

Attack system, online!

crystal core energy activated!!!

"This... how is this possible?!"

One team member exclaimed involuntarily.

"He... he actually activated it?!"

"Bronze Rank controlling a Gold Rank weapon?! Is this something a human can do?!"

Everyone was stunned.

They looked at Qin Ce, looked at the re-illuminated golden tower, then looked at each other, their eyes filled with incredulous shock.

But Qin Ce couldn't concern himself with their reactions.

Because, at this moment, the Raven King had already arrived above the Power Hub.

That patch of silver-gray dense fog, like a giant jellyfish, hovered less than five hundred meters above the Hub.

From within the fog came bursts of sharp, piercing hisses; that was the Raven King commanding its subordinates to accelerate the attack.

Countless ravens poured out from the fog, swooping down and dumping clusters of Ink Feather Mist onto the tower of the Power Hub.

Those black mists were eroding the "heart" of this city bit by bit.

On the ground, countless Beast Tamers were attacking wildly.

Bronze Rank, Silver Rank, and even several Gold Rank attacks poured toward the dense fog like a rainstorm.

In the distance, a large number of Silver Ranks and Gold Ranks were also rushing here.

But in terms of time, the main force could no longer make it in time.

And all current attacks were completely ineffective.

Those Bronze and Silver Rank attacks couldn't even penetrate the fog; they dissipated directly on the outer layer.

Gold Rank attacks could penetrate a few meters, but that was it—they couldn't go ten meters deep before being completely dissolved by the energy within the fog, leaving no trace.

And the Raven King was hiding in the deepest part of this fog, unscathed.

What was even more terrifying was that as the Ink Feather Mist descended—

Hum—

The entire city's power system showed obvious fluctuations.

In the distance, several firing crystal core turrets had their muzzle lights suddenly flicker a few times, and the firing frequency dropped significantly.

Further away, several towers directly ceased fire, and the runes on the towers dimmed completely.

On the city walls, those defensive devices relying on electricity began to emit piercing alarm sounds, while some simply shut down directly.

The entire city defense system was trembling.

Even on Qin Ce's side, he could feel that fluctuation.

His hands were pressed on the control console, at the critical moment of accumulating energy—

Hum!!!

A strong voltage fluctuation came from the control console, following his connection with the golden tower, and rushed straight into his body!

Qin Ce's body shook violently, and his face instantly turned pale!

The energy within his body was stirred into turmoil by that fluctuation, almost spinning out of control!

"Damn it..."

Qin Ce gritted his teeth tightly, doing his utmost to stabilize the energy within his body.

He knew this was a sign that the Ink Feather Mist was starting to affect the Power Hub.

Once the Power Hub was completely paralyzed, the entire city's defense system would instantly collapse.

By then, it would really be too late for everything.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the surging energy within his body, raised his head, and looked at the dense fog of the Raven Flock.

At this moment, the members of the Gold squad nearby also saw the current situation.

The Raven King, under the protection of that Raven Flock and the mutated Gold Rank Ink Feather Mist, could be called invincible below Starlight.

"So, how do we kill this Raven King?" said the team member who had asked this question before.

Attacking the Raven King directly was simply not feasible.

There was no shortage of Gold Rank attacks on the scene at the moment, but that layer of fog was too strong; Gold Rank attacks simply couldn't pierce through it.

Even if all the energy of this golden tower were exhausted, it wouldn't even scratch the Raven King.

However, unlike everyone else who was only staring at the Raven King.

Qin Ce's gaze moved slowly.

Crossing over that dense fog, crossing over the frantically attacking Raven Flock, crossing over the countless Beast Tamers fighting in blood.

It landed on the west side of the Inner City.

There, two terrifying figures were locked in combat.

Jade-Horned Flying Tiger.

Lava Bear.

The Bright Moon Level battle had been going on for a full seven hours.

Both sides were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other.

But precisely because of this, neither had time to attend to anything else.

The corners of Qin Ce's mouth curved slightly.

Since everyone knew that Gold Rank combat power was not enough, why not look for higher combat power?

The City Lord's entire energy was currently tied up by the Lava Bear.

Preventing him from being distracted to deal with the Raven King.

Then, why not create an opportunity for the City Lord to break free?

Even if it was just for a moment, as long as he could free up his hands to launch an attack on the Raven King.

With Bright Moon Level strength, wouldn't he be able to break through that damn fog!

Wouldn't he be able to kill the Raven King?

Qin Ce's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

This was his true plan!
