Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers
Chapter 783: Facing the Eternal Frozen Tyrant, the City's Full Force
Blue mist swept across thousands of kilometers.
In an instant, it arrived at Green Forest City.
The Eternal Frozen Tyrant spotted Yu Yuan above the Civilization Clock Tower at a glance.
He sensed the rich aura of the Ice Faith and life energy emanating from Yu Yuan.
He immediately realized that this was the person who had plundered the Ice Faith.
But his heart jolted in shock, and then an even more intense killing intent surged through him.
“Silver-tier? He’s actually Silver-tier? What kind of joke is this?”
Yu Yuan looked at the Eternal Frozen Tyrant. The terrifying pressure unique to a Transdimensional Existence bore down on him, yet it felt like a gentle spring breeze, without the slightest hint of pressure.
This was the reward effect of the achievement [Transdimensional Hunter].
- When facing a Transdimensional life-form, immune to the suppressive effects of its life force and energy level.
Yu Yuan had no intention of wasting words on the Eternal Frozen Tyrant.
The appearance of a particle laser cannon opened the hunt.
The long-range firepower layer in the second line of defense unleashed everything it had.
One supersonic missile after another roared through the air, trailing flames as they swept toward him like a barrage.
The Electromagnetic Pulse Railguns gathered energy, their shells as thick as a man's thigh hurtling toward the Eternal Frozen Tyrant under electromagnetic acceleration.
The blue beams of the Plasma Pulse Cannons stretched across more than ten kilometers, striking the Eternal Frozen Tyrant in an instant.
In the city's fourth layer, the defensive counterattack layer's automated cannons and Close-in Weapon Systems also opened fire. Whether or not they would have any effect, they all bared their fangs.
In the blink of an eye,
countless barrages and laser strikes swept toward the Eternal Frozen Tyrant.
The Eternal Frozen Tyrant stared at Yu Yuan and spat out each word.
“You’re asking to die!”
Eternal Ice Spears condensed in an instant and shot toward Yu Yuan.
A defensive barrier rose, blocking the Eternal Ice Spears' path.
- Planetary Core Defense Curtain.
The Eternal Ice Spears slammed into the Planetary Core Defense Curtain.
The attack's Transdimensional power made the barrier shudder violently. Ripples and cracks appeared across the Planetary Core Defense Curtain.
The seven Core Reactors released immense energy, and the Planetary Core Defense Curtain began to repair itself.
The cracks in the barrier continued to spread. The Planetary Core Defense Curtain could not stop the Eternal Ice Spears.
Even intercepting them for an instant was already an impressive feat.
A blizzard also appeared around the Eternal Frozen Tyrant, blocking the missiles and pulse waves attacking him.
The Eternal Frozen Tyrant watched with a mocking look, but his expression froze at once.
The defensive barrier, which had been on the verge of shattering, suddenly received a boost and began to hold its own against the Eternal Ice Spears.
It even... began to gain the upper hand.
Only Yu Yuan knew what had happened.
The instant the Eternal Ice Spears struck,
the passive effect of the title [City Shadows Plane] activated.
- When a projected city is attacked or invaded, the effects of defensive, offensive, and production buildings and facilities increase by 200%.
The Civilization Clock Tower lit up at the same time. Centered on the tower, a second defensive barrier enveloped the surrounding area within a five-kilometer radius.
Every defensive surface within a twenty-kilometer radius of the Civilization Clock Tower was covered by an energy shield.
A series of clear bell chimes rang out.
The Eternal Frozen Tyrant sensed his Psychic Ability growing increasingly sluggish.
A ring of light resembling a targeting reticle appeared above his head.
Civilization Clock Tower effect activated:
- Automatically suppresses chaos, hostility, and abnormal conditions within its range. All attributes of outside invaders are reduced by 30%, and they cannot use teleportation or stealth. When an enemy force is detected, the tower rings its bell and marks the enemy. Civilization Stability +150%.
- Marks enemy targets. When any of our units attack a marked target, attacks have an 80% calibration effect and a 1% chance of striking a weak point.
The instant the marking icon appeared, a gleam flashed in Yu Yuan's eyes.
With the 200% boost, every Defense Weapon System doubled its Attack Speed and attack power.
In an instant,
the entire sky and everything beneath the ground were engulfed by barrages and beams.
Missiles, lasers, ion pulses, and artillery all opened fire.
The Eternal Frozen Tyrant was still reeling from the shock of his reduced strength when the relentless bombardment before him drove him into a fury.
Although he was a Transdimensional Existence, after losing the support of the Ice Faith and suffering the Civilization Ladder's suppressive penalty, he had lost six or seven tenths of his strength. Now it had been reduced by another 30%.
A powerful sense of weakness washed over him. Attacks he would not have cared about before now posed a hint of a threat.
One attack meant nothing to him, but there were tens of thousands of attacks here.
His gaze locked onto Yu Yuan.
“Kill him. I have to kill him. As long as I take back the Ice Faith...”
That realization snapped the Eternal Frozen Tyrant to his senses.
His contempt vanished completely.
“You think you can kill me? You’re not worthy!”
The next moment, the blizzard around him expanded wildly, and countless Eternal Ice Spears appeared above Green Forest City.
Ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand...
The entire sky was blanketed with Eternal Ice Spears.
Then... a rain of Eternal Ice Spears descended.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The Eternal Ice Spears arrived in an instant, unleashing a merciless bombardment on Green Forest City.
That was his answer.
In the face of absolute power, no amount of preparation or struggle was anything but flashy nonsense.
Under the assault of a million Eternal Ice Spears, the Planetary Core Defense Curtain held for only a single breath before shattering with a roar.
The Core Reactors exploded violently.
With the defense curtain gone, the Eternal Ice Spears began indiscriminately striking the entire city.
The shields covering the defensive installations shattered instantly, as flimsy as paper.
The buildings housing the automated cannons burst apart under the Eternal Frozen Tyrant's attacks, turning into ice crystals and crumbling piece by piece.
Amid the explosions of the Eternal Ice Spears, buildings collapsed and metal shattered throughout Green Forest City.
Every Eternal Ice Spear that struck the ground covered everything within a hundred meters in ice crystals.
The entire city became a ruin.
The energy barrier released by the Civilization Clock Tower had a defense value of one million and high resistance to physical, energy, and Mental-type Attacks. Yet after more than a thousand Eternal Ice Spears struck the city, it too shattered with a roar.
Only the area within a hundred meters of the Civilization Clock Tower, where Yu Yuan stood, remained untouched.
At that moment, the Eternal Frozen Tyrant showed Yu Yuan what absolute power meant.
The Eternal Frozen Tyrant looked at Yu Yuan.
“Kid, in the face of absolute power, everything... is futile!”
“As for you... death would be too easy a punishment. I’ll take my time torturing you. Only then can I ease the hatred in my heart.”
As his words fell,
Rumble!
The Civilization Clock Tower beneath Yu Yuan also crashed to the ground.
At that moment, Yu Yuan's figure looked utterly lonely and forlorn.
The Eternal Frozen Tyrant looked at him with amusement.
He looked just like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
He wanted to watch this foolish man show fear, shock, struggle, and despair with his own eyes.
“Hahaha! Struggle! Despair! Give me a show and make me happy!” A trace of savagery flashed through the Eternal Frozen Tyrant's eyes.
But when his gaze met Yu Yuan's,
he froze.
He saw none of the fear, shock, struggle, or despair he had expected.
Instead, he saw anticipation, excitement, and... eagerness to give it a try.
“Hmm?” The Eternal Frozen Tyrant was just about to voice his confusion.
Suddenly, he felt as if the sky had grown even darker.
But how could that be?
This world was already in a state of polar night. How could it possibly grow darker?
The next instant, the Eternal Frozen Tyrant understood why.
He saw a........ city nestled within the shadows.
