1140 Something Is Wrong!
“Come and eat as much as you want!”
I knew my situation looked bad. The angels acted at a very crucial moment without doubt.
Something seemed off about them. The angels I knew were quite impatient. They never thought that much up ahead in the game before.
But this time it seemed a bit different. This wasn’t the first time they tried to outsmart me. Even if I managed to foil their plans, I had to give them the credit of being too calculative.
This wasn’t a simple feat. These angels must have themselves a new leader. And that dude smelled trouble.
I watched my newly created fallen gods eat lots of stat crystals. I created ten thousand of them this time, planning to deal a hefty blow to the angels.
The price of creating this many was indeed high. Five billion soul points wasn’t something cheap.
However I was ready to pay such a price. I wouldn’t let such a chance of destroying most of these offensive star weapons slip by my fingers.
Also I knew without trying this hard, I wouldn’t be able to regain control over the entire situation as well.
The fight this time was hard, and the main goal of these angels wasn’t to kill me.
Killing me was something close to impossible. So they had another goal, which was to protect that turtle zombie and buy much time for it.
I could understand the point of trying to protect this giant behemoth, but trying to stall for time was weird in my eyes.
I felt so as if the angels wanted to just protect the turtle, they would have been settled with just using the defensive red beams.
But they also used their offensive red beams, which made no sense at all. The red beams would crush my shields with the help of that turtle’s stupid attacks.
If they thought by using this alone I’d be stripped off my protective shields, then they’d have to be gravely mistaken.
If they were the old angels I used to know then I’d not suspect anything. But these angels were behaving smart, much smarter and more cunning than before.
Failing to notice my ability to use the pillar and create as many shields as I wanted didn’t make any sense. So their aim wasn’t to kill me, they wanted either to force my retreat or waste more time.
Either way, they’d end up buying lots of time. And that made me curious and little worried about their real goal.
What exactly did they dream to accomplish here? I looked around, and aside from that turtle behemoth in the middle of the ocean and the large higher grade zombies coming out in low rate offshore, nothing else posed any threat to me.
If there was something like that, then it should be under water.
“I should deal with their trump card first,” I pointed to the sky and gave the order for my evolved fallen gods to scatter.
“Pick one star weapon, use your ultimatum attack and detonate it!” I wasn’t going to show any mercy to my enemies. As the fallen gods scattered under the protection of my shields, it was too late for the angels to stop their attack in time.
The next minute the entire situation changed. The sky high above was silent, but huge red flowers appeared up there.
I was sure if sound was allowed to pass, if that grand bubble protecting this planet was gone, then everyone in the world would have heard scary rumblings coming from these mighty explosions.
“Eat and replenish your energy,” I didn’t stand idle in this minute and scattered lots of stat crystals around for the fallen gods to use.
Even if they managed to destroy ten thousand of these star weapons, this wasn’t enough to get rid of that annoyance.
I needed another shot, and by then I’d be satisfied. The number of the remaining star weapons up there wasn’t that big at the moment. I estimated that after the second shot, there wouldn’t be much more than a few hundred of them.
But as the angels were about to aim and fire, the star weapons up there strangely stopped their attack. I noticed the redness around that turtle diminished a lot, seemingly like fading away.
Before this, the protective red beams landed over the turtle zombie in torrents. And now, only a few threads remain.
“Shift your aim,” I got what the angels wanted to do. They shifted the attention of the protective red beams to defend against my fallen god’s deadly attacks.
But that came over the price to leave their biggest trophy unguarded. “Kill that motherf*cker!” I pointed my arm towards the turtle zombie, and next the entire world shook.
The combined attacks of ten thousand fallen gods wasn’t a joke. The moment their attacks landed, the world beamed in different bright lights, flashing all over the place, filling the entire world in my eyes with blinding lights.
And then a scary rumbling booming noise appeared and lasted for a few minutes.
I was in my chariot, flying hundreds of metres above the ocean level. But from my place, I saw all the water around stirred up, forming waves of tsunami on their own without the need of that turtle’s help.
This looked bad! I turned around and took a peek at the continent behind. Even the land didn’t escape the wrath of my fallen gods’ attacks.
I saw ground shaking, deep cracks like spider web spreading, and even lava appeared from many spots. Any hill or mountain near or far got flattened within minutes.
It was scary! And at this moment I felt relieved that I didn’t start this fight before sending everyone back off.
I hoped they’d get back far enough to be protected from such deadly changes.
When I turned to look at the turtle again, I saw the lights shining further but the explosive noise started to grow weaker. At the same time, I saw the outer layers of my shields break apart, as if they got hammered with unstoppable force.
I hurriedly added more shields to replenish the lost ones. I felt like I was in a racing game, and with each passing minute, lots of my shields got broken and rendered into nothing but fine dust particles.
*Roar!*
Amidst all this, I heard the painful roars of that turtle zombie for the first time since such a scary attack landed. When I looked closer, I saw that my fallen gods’ attacks didn’t get brighter as I thought, they were actually getting suppressed.
The reason they looked brighter was thanks to the returning protective red beams that resumed falling again over the body of that turtle zombie.
The timely help from the protective star weapons came to protect this turtle from perishing in the hands of my fallen gods. And as it got such a special treatment, it started to target me again.
I didn’t know why, but this time I felt its attacks getting much fiercer than before. Was it trying to get easy on me before or was it because it started burning its own life force to bring more strength?
Thinking about such out of this world strength made me wonder what it would have been like if I didn’t curse it before the fight started?
Damn! If this was just half of its strength, then this bastard was enough to claim my head!
Thinking about that made my eyes turn colder. A scary thought flashed over my mind. What if the angels were buying time just to find a way to unseal the curse I applied?
pan,da-n0v el I wasn’t the same youngster who believed the old stories and the goodness of the angels before coming here. I got baptised by lots of adventures and tough battles, and I grew up to know a lot.
And if I had to say something as an unshakable fact about the universe, then nothing was absolute!
My cursing power was unique as it came from Anubis god. But as a god could grant me such abnormal power, another god might be somewhere in the universe able to undo it.
Thinking about such a possibility, and imagining what it would be like if this turtle regained its full strength, I knew I had to kill it as fast as I could.
“Replenish your energy,” I moved fast among the large group of my fallen gods, distributing more stat crystals. Once they consumed it, I sent a mental order to them.
“Attack!” I simply raised one finger to the sky, and next thousands of attacks landed over the sky high star weapons.
Seeing this, the angels were forced to divert part of the protective red beams falling over the zombie to protect their precious remaining star weapons.
The shocking attack of my fallen gods already lost most of their brilliance and brutality. I knew they’d do it, and so I was prepared.
“Attack!”
