Facing the menacing Ethereal army, Zhu Yuan charged out alone. Although she was good at commanding a team in battle, her own fighting style was destined to prevent her from showing her full strength in a crowd. All her movements had to be coordinated with the ground. With other people around, she would inevitably be distracted by thinking about how to avoid her own teammates.
Qingyi clearly understood this. She had cooperated with Zhu Yuan for a long time, so she was very good at sharing the pressure for her.
The first thing Zhu Yuan did when she came before the Ethereal swarm was to assemble all the gun parts on her body into a multi-functional launcher. After pulling the trigger, a huge energy ray was emitted from the front of the launcher. The power of this ray was enough to be called a laser cannon. This one shot had extremely strong penetration. After clearing all the Ethereals along the way, it directly hit the chest of a Dead End Butcher.
The Dead End Butcher that was hit inserted the long-handled weapon in its hand into the ground and stubbornly blocked the remaining power of this laser cannon with its hard chest. But that was not all. Just after blocking the laser cannon, the missile launchers on both sides of the launcher used by Zhu Yuan were activated. Twelve missiles with tail flames rushed towards the Dead End Butcher, all of them hitting its huge body.
'BOOM!'
The sound of a violent explosion came. The power of the explosion caused a few of the shaky houses on the surrounding streets to collapse. But by the time the smoke dissipated, the Dead End Butcher was still standing firm, just heavily injured.
"Nice, Zhu Yuan."
Qingyi praised, standing next to Zhu Yuan with a staff in her hand. Zhu Yuan's damage calculation was very precise. It wasn't that she didn't have the ability to push the Dead End Butcher into its second phase, but that she deliberately controlled it to be in a heavily injured state in its first phase. This way, it couldn't enter its second phase, and it couldn't exert the full power of its first phase. It could be said to have been directly downgraded from a BOSS unit to an elite unit. It would be much easier to deal with later.
"Zhu Yuan, let's fight together."
Mo Xuan also came to Zhu Yuan's side with a shield and a single-handed sword at this time. But his battlefield was not on her side but was preparing to share the firepower she was facing. Then he would find a chance to transform. Stand-boo was already lurking in the nearby underground, hiding.
"You have to be careful of your own safety."
Zhu Yuan said, looking straight at the Ethereal swarm in front of her. She couldn't be distracted to take care of Mo Xuan during a battle. She could only pray that his own strength was strong enough and that he wouldn't be seriously injured.
Zhu Yuan stepped forward and charged. Just as she was exerting her strength to find a suitable position, a Thanatos teleported to her necessary path, swinging the bow-blade in its hand, wanting Zhu Yuan to run into it herself and get seriously injured.
An ordinary person at this time would definitely have run into the blade because of inertia. But Zhu Yuan was not an ordinary person. Her reaction speed was so fast that even a Thanatos couldn't keep up. So fast that it was as if she had left a red afterimage in place. That afterimage crashed into the bow-blade, while Zhu Yuan herself had already moved sideways to the Thanatos's side. The firearm in her hand was aimed at its black hole-like head, and she pulled the trigger.
Aether buckshot sprayed on the Thanatos's head, directly knocking it off balance. Zhu Yuan was also pushed back by the strong recoil. After taking a half step back, she used her heel to brace against the ground, and then used this foot as a support to turn around to offset the remaining recoil and reload her magazine at the same time. By the time she was facing the Thanatos, her bullets were reloaded and she fired another shot.
The Thanatos was beaten back again and again, with no power to fight back. Zhu Yuan, on the other hand, pressed her advantage and went up and kicked away the bow-blade in the Thanatos's hand. Maintaining the kicking posture, her arm reached out from under her leg and fired another shot. Then she half-squatted down, using her knee to brace against the ground, changed to a larger-caliber barrel, and sprayed all the accumulated Aether buckshot at the Thanatos.
The Thanatos's body was sent flying by the last blow. By the time it barely stood up, the bullet holes on its body were already so dense that light was shining through. From the front, you could see the scenery behind it. One could only say that now its body was a mix of Aether buckshot and some Ethereal fragments.
Zhu Yuan took off the hot barrel and twirled her special pistol to cool it down. The Thanatos, on the other hand, swayed twice and fell to the ground, turning into countless black fragments. The Thanatos that had wanted to win with a sneak attack had turned to dust in less than three seconds of Zhu Yuan's combo. This greatly boosted the morale of their side.
"It has to be the superhuman of New Eridu."
Mo Xuan exclaimed, then went up to meet the tide of Ethereals that was attacking. The other soldiers were the same. Some were defending around the Shiyu pillar, and some were breaking into the battlefield. It seemed a bit chaotic, but in fact, the ones who dared to rush up were all capable veterans. The soldier units followed their commander's orders, using the cover of the mechs to kill the Ethereals with long-range weapons.
Mo Xuan had also seen big movies. The scene in front of him was very much like the Zerg army fighting human soldiers that he had seen on Earth. Although the lower-level Zerg units were weak, they could continuously break into the battlefield with their numbers. The Ethereals in other Hollows could not be called a Zerg army, but Hollow Zero was different. This Hollow had existed for too long. The energy inside it was as if it were endless. It could create as many Ethereals as it wanted.
At this time, the human side had already begun to suffer casualties. Mo Xuan didn't know if the people who were shot by the Thanatos's dark arrows could be saved. But he really couldn't wait any longer. He cut an Ethereal with one sword, and then broke into the Ethereal swarm. As the sword light continued to light up, he cut a path in the Ethereal encirclement. The Ethereals along the way fell like cutting grass. The dust on the ground was kicked up by Mo Xuan's footwork. Soon, it became a scene of yellow fog.
"ORA!"
Stand-boo drilled out from underground. Under the cover of the smoke, it exchanged identities with Mo Xuan. And Mo Xuan quickly inserted the Evol-Trigger and the two bottle canisters into the driver on his waist, completing the preparations in less than a second.
[Are you ready?]
"Henshin!"
[Black Hole! Black Hole! Black Hole! Revolution! Fuhhahhahhahha!]
The humans on the front battlefield all heard a strange laughter. This made them extra vigilant. This laughter was clearly not a human's. They all thought the Ethereal swarm was about to use some big move. They vigilantly tightened their formation and retreated towards the mechs.
A sense of urgency flashed in Zhu Yuan's eyes. She didn't know if Mo Xuan had safely retreated. Her gaze was fixed on the battlefield in front of her. Soon, she saw a disheveled figure running towards the back. The shield in his hand had been a great help. When he was retreating, he was holding the shield like an umbrella, blocking attacks from all directions.
