179: Chapter 179 Blade vs. Omnic
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire command center fell into a deathly silence.
Not a sound could be heard.
"O...one hundred and fifty billion?"
Wu Chongguo gasped, his legs turned to jelly, and he collapsed directly into his chair.
Chu Tianxing's hand holding his blade trembled, his face as pale as paper: "One hundred and fifty billion troops... even if they stood there and let us hack at them, our blades would dull! This number is enough to plow the entire surface of Blue Star a hundred times over!"
Despair.
Panic and despair spread wildly among the upper echelons of the human race.
Faced with such an overwhelming numerical advantage that could drown everything, any strategy or formation was pale and powerless.
This was simply a one-sided slaughter with no suspense!
"It's over... the human race is truly going to be wiped out..." An old general closed his eyes in agony.
Just as the entire command center was shrouded in gloom.
"Crack." A crisp sound of a sunflower seed being eaten, completely out of place.
Everyone turned their heads in unison.
They saw Lin Fan sitting upright in the highest seat, legs crossed, casually munching on a handful of Deep Sea Spirit Seeds.
Faced with the number of one hundred and fifty billion enemy troops, which was enough to drive anyone mad, Lin Fan's face showed not a hint of fear, but rather a playful look of someone watching a show.
"One hundred and fifty billion?"
Lin Fan spat out the seed shell, brushed the debris from his hands, and sneered.
"I was wondering how many had come, but it's just this many flies? Is this worth you all being so scared?"
Wu Chongguo slapped his thigh in anxiety: "Saint Lin! That's one hundred and fifty billion! Ants can kill an elephant if there are enough of them!"
"An elephant gets killed by ants only because it doesn't know how to stomp."
Lin Fan stood up, hands in his pockets, and strode to the floor-to-ceiling window of the command center, looking down at the dark, endless horizon outside the city.
"They like playing the human wave tactic?"
Lin Fan sneered: "What a coincidence, I'm the type of person who is least afraid of being outnumbered."
Outside Azure Dragon City at this moment.
The earth was trembling violently.
An endless tide of aliens was sweeping in, blotting out the sky.
In the sky, dense swarms of interstellar warships blocked out the sun.
On the ground, countless massive beasts and hideous alien infantry trampled across the wilderness, letting out deafening, bloodthirsty roars.
"Human ants! Hand over Lin Fan! Hand over Blue Star!"
An Alien Saint, ten thousand feet tall, hovered in front of the battle formation, its voice rolling in like thunder: "Otherwise, our one hundred and fifty billion troops will flatten Azure Dragon City, leaving not even a chicken or dog alive!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
One hundred and fifty billion aliens roared in unison, their terrifying killing intent gathering into a blood-red cloud that pressed down on the fifty billion humans inside Azure Dragon City, making them unable to breathe.
The horn of the charge sounded.
The black tide launched a desperate charge toward Azure Dragon City.
On the city walls, Chu Tianxing and the others gritted their teeth, preparing to draw their blades and fight to the death.
"All of you, stand down."
Lin Fan's voice rang in everyone's ears.
He instantly teleported to the top of the highest wall of Azure Dragon City, facing the overwhelming tide of aliens, and slowly raised his right hand.
"Is one hundred and fifty billion a lot?"
Lin Fan's eyes were disdainful, and the pressure of the Great Saint Realm erupted.
"Today, I will give you a grand gift."
Lin Fan snapped his fingers crisply.
"Deep White - AI Mainframe, Blade. Come out and greet the guests."
As soon as the words fell.
"Rumble—!!!"
A massive, unannounced earthquake suddenly occurred in the ten thousand-mile wilderness in front of Azure Dragon City.
The earth cracked crazily, and bottomless abyss fissures crisscrossed the land.
Immediately after, the void above Azure Dragon City shattered, and countless massive spatial wormholes appeared one after another.
"Warning! Highest command confirmed!"
"Machina Legion, full power activation! Eliminate all carbon-based threats!"
A mechanical, emotionless electronic female voice echoed over the entire battlefield.
Deep White - AI Mainframe, wearing silver armor, manifested as a holographic projection in the air.
And on the other side.
"Hiss—!!!"
A soul-piercing insect cry rang through the sky.
The Queen of Blades, covered in hideous bone spurs with sharp bone wings on her back, stepped out of the void.
Her scarlet eyes flashed with extreme bloodlust and madness.
Bottomless fissures spanned the hundred-thousand-mile wilderness.
Zerglings, Hydralisks, and Mutalisks gathered into a black torrent of death, gushing out from the ground.
In the sky, tens of millions of Machina robots had eyes flashing with red light, and their energy shields connected into one piece.
"Kill!" The Queen of Blades let out a shrill screech.
Deep White - AI Mainframe waved its arm expressionlessly.
Two torrents of natural disaster slammed fiercely into the camp of the one hundred and fifty billion alien army.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Zerglings brandished sharp bone blades, cutting the throats of alien infantry.
Hydralisks spat high-concentration corrosive venom, melting the hard shells of one-eyed giant crabs.
Mutalisks circled in the air, their claws tearing apart the fleshy wings of Byakhees.
The Machina robots' high-energy rays wove into a death net, vaporizing groups of alien monsters.
In just a few minutes, the originally aggressive alien army of ten billion was forcibly halted in its charge by this perfect killing machine.
On the Azure Dragon City wall.
Wu Chongguo gripped the bricks with his one arm.
He stared wide-eyed, watching the meat-grinder-like battlefield ahead.
"Good heavens, is this really the Zerg and Machina that forced us into a desperate situation back then?" Wu Chongguo's voice trembled.
Chu Tianxing swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing.
"This is too outrageous! Saint Lin not only subdued them but also turned them into the most loyal blades of the human race!" Chu Tianxing's hand holding his broken blade was slightly sweaty.
Wang Linlin hugged her ancient zither, jumping up and down on the city wall.
"Brother Fan is the best! Big bugs, bite those bad guys to death!" Wang Linlin cheered joyfully.
Lu Tingting stood to the side, her cold face full of awe.
"The might of a Great Sage can turn clouds into rain with a flip of a hand. These aliens have kicked an iron plate today." Lu Tingting stared intensely at the black-clad figure in the air.
In the center of the battlefield, the frenzied slaughter continued.
The cannon fodder at the bottom of the alien ranks fell in droves, and green blood gathered into rivers.
At the very rear of the alien camp.
Thousands of Alien Saints and Heavenly Monarchs hovering in the air could no longer sit still.
They held noble status and were usually high and mighty, never caring about the life and death of the cannon fodder.
But now, watching their ten-billion-strong army being forcibly contained and even slaughtered in return, they felt a great humiliation.
"Bastards!"
The remaining Saint of the Blazing Eagle Clan had bloodshot eyes, staring fixedly at the battlefield.
Relying on the thousands of peers behind him, he felt full of confidence.
"How dare mere soulless machines and bugs block the advance of our Allied Ten Thousand Races?!" An old-guard Saint of the Heavenly Snake Clan roared.
The Blazing Eagle Saint raised his hand, pointing at the gargantuan Machina mothership in the air, as well as the shennong cauldron in front of Lin Fan that was continuously spewing out the Zerg army.
"Capture the leader to capture the bandits!" The Blazing Eagle Saint's face was ferocious.
"Destroy that mothership! Smash that broken cauldron! These bugs and iron scraps will collapse on their own!"
"Follow this Saint and kill!"
Rumble!
Thousands of Alien Saints and Heavenly Monarchs struck fiercely.
The terrifying laws of the Saints wove into a brilliant net of destruction, passing over the sea of insects below and rushing straight toward the Machina mothership and the shennong cauldron with an irresistible force.
"No! They are attempting a decapitation strike!" Chu Tianxing's expression changed drastically, and he drew his broken blade, preparing to soar into the sky.
