Tempest of the Battlefield Chapter 654 God's Will

One should not confuse the earth element with the G.o.d of earth and agriculture Saturn; instead, it was one of the primordial elements that supported the existence of all substance in the universe. That being said, this element was the most abundant in and near the planet of Saturn. Unlike other forms of the earth element that prevented the caster from tapping into its power, the element existed on the planet in the form of liquified gas.

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Tong and his caster companions had already traveled to the source of Saturn's power. In addition to the seven casters that accompanied w.a.n.g Tong, Mr. Wannabe was also with him.

The energy on the Saturn was wild and powerful. Mr. Wannabe opened his arms and poured out his GN force to form a protective s.h.i.+eld. Everyone was stunned by his display of strength.

"It's about time…Let's start!" w.a.n.g Tong announced as he connected his soul energy with the planet. With a golden flash, Charcoal's illusive apparition appeared behind him out of nowhere. w.a.n.g Tong muttered something to him and the latter took off, flying toward the core of the planet.

Meanwhile, the other casters also channeled out their soul energy, trying to coax the primordial force into submission. In the sea of wild and turbulent energies, the casters followed w.a.n.g Tong's soul essence closely.

Earthquake!

When all the casters' soul energy was in sync, w.a.n.g Tong blasted their combined energy toward the tunnel which Charcoal had dug out and propagated them along the way.

Meanwhile, the Zerg encirclement had pushed near the Saturn's rings. Once they got the order from Zhoudi, they could blast the asteroids to dust along with anything hidden inside.

"All s.h.i.+ps lower your att.i.tude right now!" Samantha ordered a command.

As the human s.h.i.+ps got closer to the surface, the environment condition worsened. However, it was more dangerous if they moved the other way, so the captains followed Samantha's order and dropped their alt.i.tude.

The rogue energy bashed and gnawed at the s.h.i.+p, so the captains had to crank up their s.h.i.+eld levels, draining a ma.s.sive amount of their finite energy resources.

"Admiral, it's too dangerous! Our s.h.i.+eld can only last five minutes at most." Li Hong said with a hard face.

"Please believe me and keep lowering. Slow and steady."

A minutes later, lights on the s.h.i.+p's dashboard started to flicker due to the rapidly draining energy. Two minutes later, the alarms went off, warning everyone about the energy depletion. Three minutes later, the energy s.h.i.+eld started to waver.

Samantha didn't speak a word as the s.h.i.+ps still kept on dropping. All around the captains, lights were flickering and the engine was sputtering; it was a suicide attempt

Five minutes later, a silence suddenly fell into the commander's room and the power turned back on while the lights stopped spasming.

Everyone could only stare. Where were they and why were they not dead?

The batteries of the s.h.i.+p started to recharge as rapidly as they had been drained. The soldiers looked out of the window and noticed that they had pa.s.sed through the terrifying atmosphere of the giant planet and reached the peaceful and calm stratosphere. Above them, dark clouds of green, yellow, and red roiled as colorful but frightening lightning forked like the tongue of a serpent.

A blue swirl of energy formed amidst the chaos; it started as a small wisp of pale blue, but quickly absorbed the energy around it and became a giant whirlwind shaped monstrosity. It took off toward the outer atmosphere and grew bigger by the second. When it reached the Saturn's ring, it was already the size of a planetary cyclone. Its tendrils wrapped around the asteroids and hurled them outward.

The Zergs had just gotten within their firing range, but were astonished to see the asteroids become alive with energy and fly at them at a deadly speed.

In the next moment, they were caught in a cosmic hail of epic intensity; it was already too late to escape.

The human soldiers watched in fear as the shower of asteroids washed away the Zergs' fleet without even slowing down. In a blink of an eye, half of the Zerg s.h.i.+ps were reduced into useless s.p.a.ce junks.

The energy didn't stop growing, but instead, it increased the cyclone's size, seeming to build up energy within the eye. A few seconds later, a spectacular eruption started from the center of the whirlwind and rippled outward; the energy wave lit up the asteroids aflame and capitulated the rocks at the Zerg fleet at an incredible speed. One second later, the Zerg armada was erased from the universe forever.

All the humans on the main s.h.i.+p watched the development with fear and disbelief. What happened to the asteroid belt? The asteroid belt that had surrounded Saturn was gone; the giant planet looked almost naked.

Sailuofu slumped on the floor and was seized by fear.

"Is this the work of w.a.n.g Tong?" Xiao Se murmured incredulously.

"Yes, this is his work. He is the savior of mankind."

"The G.o.d has answered." Li Hong muttered in reverence.

The asteroid belt was gone, and so were the dark clouds above the human fleet. They had watched the destruction of the Zerg armada in full display. The sudden turn of events had filled them with trepidation and elation.

"Full speed ahead!" Samantha's voice finally broke the spell.

The human armada took off to the outer s.p.a.ce to chase down the surviving Zerg s.h.i.+ps. Some Zerg s.h.i.+ps that were at the very back of the formation had enough time to back out of harm's way. By then, they were already on the run away from the nightmarish battlefield. The human s.h.i.+ps chased after them as a hungry lion would after its prey.

The human captains were so eager to draw some Zerg blood that they didn't even care to line up the s.h.i.+ps into any sort of formation. The Zergs were too scared to fight back anyway. It had been five years since the humans had a major victory against the Zergs, so no one would pa.s.s up the opportunity to avenge their loved ones. Even General Li Hong and Xiao Se had joined the scramble.

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Tong and the other casters had fallen asleep on the s.h.i.+p. This spell was much more taxing on the casters' system than the forbidden power.

The six warriors lay in their beds peacefully as the light started to s.h.i.+mmer around them. The light was particularly bright on Michaux, who had a moment of epiphany about the Divine path during the casting. This spell had opened another door in everyone's cultivation, allowing the casters to take a peek at the universe from an angle that was previously unknown to them, and what a marvelous sight it had been!

After some time, the remaining Zerg s.h.i.+ps were destroyed by the humans; they didn't even have a chance to fight back before they were bombarded by vengeful fires. The dark ones' armada was no more, and neither was the little chance they had to reclaim Mars. The dark ones' defeat was also a loud slap on the immortals' face.

Dimas pulled a long face and looked troubled. He had warned the dark ones about w.a.n.g Tongs' real intentions; however, it was still not enough to prevent the tragedy. He finally conceded that w.a.n.g Tong was a force to be reckoned with, and his power was at least on par with that of the Divine Lord.

How did he create the asteroid storm? Did he have a secret weapon at his disposal? If that were the case, w.a.n.g Tong had to be stopped before he reached Moon.

The dark ones were done for; it was already set in stone. The real opponent of the immortals had finally surfaced: w.a.n.g Tong.

"My lord, we have an order from the Divine Lord."

"Connect."

Patroclus' image showed up on the screen.

"My Lord, I was just about to report to you."

"The dark ones are defeated," Patroclus said indifferently.

"You have already known?"

"It's written on your face. What do you think about it?" Patroclus asked.

"w.a.n.g Tong is unbelievably powerful. He is the number one enemy of the immortals," Dimalis said readily.

"Of course! The dark ones had forced him to use the last trump card in his hand. He has nothing left. Do you know what to do next? "

"Yes, my lord. I have faith in our strength, and I will not let w.a.n.g Tong reach the moon."

"w.a.n.g Tong's biggest strength is his unpredictability, but that's also his downfall. Remember that."

"Yes, my lord!"

Dimalis was one of the very few immortals who was able to understand Patroclus' cryptic messages. Dimalis turned off the screen and started to reflect on w.a.n.g Tong's strategies.
