Chapter 45: The Sacrificed Senator
War is a massive and ruthless meat grinder.
The initial advantage brought by the Dome of Light system, after lasting for more than thirty hours, is being gradually wiped out by the endless number of beasts.
Despite the global congressional kill list spurring all those stronger than the God of War level into a bloodthirsty frenzy, King-level and High Lord-level monsters continued to emerge relentlessly from the ocean depths. Fearless and relentless, they used their own flesh and blood to erode the energy shields of human war bases, draining the ammunition and willpower of every soldier.
The first to collapse was the Third War Base of the Indian Empire.
The geological structure here is already fragile. Under the relentless onslaught of the beast tide for more than 36 hours, one of the underground transmission nodes that supplies power to the energy shield finally reached its load limit.
"Warning! Energy transfer node B3-7 in the Indo-Vanguard Theater is overloaded! Repeat! Node B3-7 is overloaded!"
"Buzz—"
Amidst the piercing buzzing sound, the blue light screen representing the Third War Base of India and Vatican City on the main screen of the Dome of Light Control Center shattered with a piercing cracking sound, revealing a huge gap hundreds of meters wide!
The breached floodwaters found an outlet.
"roar--!"
Millions of low-level monsters surged into the base like a raging tide. They trampled over the corpses of their own kind and, in the most savage manner, rammed into the turrets and armored units that had just been unleashing their firepower.
The soldiers and heavy firepower units behind the defensive line were completely engulfed by this terrifying wave of flesh and blood in the first instant.
The piercing alarm on the communication channel almost punctured Luo Feng's eardrums.
Babata switched the main perspective to the Indo-Vanguard war zone. Through the satellite lens high in the sky, he could only see the defensive area of the base city, where the blue dots representing his own soldiers were extinguishing in large swathes at a visible speed.
"No!!!"
A roar of extreme rage erupted from the battlefield.
Maha Singh, one of the three resident councilors at the Third War Base of the Vatican, let out a roar.
He watched as the position he was defending was torn apart, as his warriors were overwhelmed by monsters. Only resolute determination remained in his crimson eyes. He turned and, like a burning meteorite, charged headlong into the massive breach.
"Buzz!"
An unprecedented surge of immense energy erupted from his body, instantly forming a solid golden energy barrier in front of him, like a divine shield, forcefully pushing back the surging beast tide!
Tens of thousands of low-level monsters were instantly crushed into dust by this force!
"Cover civilians in the evacuation! Quickly!!"
MP Mahathir unleashed his final roar.
Immediately, he resolutely burned his own soul.
He relinquished control of his body, allowing the destructive power to rage within him, all in exchange for power that surpassed his own limits.
Golden flames erupted from his body, transforming him into an insurmountable wall that firmly blocked the breach hundreds of meters wide.
"Luo Feng!"
Within his mind, Babata's voice carried a hint of shock.
"He's burning his very soul's essence! With his strength, he can only last for a maximum of fifteen minutes! After fifteen minutes, he'll fall into a deep sleep, and then be torn apart by the monster!"
This image was clearly transmitted to every member of parliament who was fighting a bloody battle around the world through the Dome of Light system.
Silence fell over the public channel.
Then came even more frenzied roars and carnage.
Just as MP Mahah burned his soul and transformed into a bulwark to buy precious evacuation time for the civilians behind, three high-level lord-class monsters seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
They launched an attack from three angles simultaneously!
"boom--!!!"
Under the combined attack of the three high lords, the golden barrier, which was already being rapidly depleted, shattered after less than ten minutes with a violent flash!
Representative Mahathir's body, burning with light, was exposed to the beast tide.
He didn't even have time to make a sound before his body was instantly torn to pieces.
On the main screen of the control center, the bright spot representing MP Maha Singh flickered wildly a few times before going out completely.
As he watched the extinguished light, Luo Feng's body trembled slightly. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
One of the councilors... just like that, he died in battle.
"Luo Feng! Calm down!"
Babata's stern voice echoed in his mind.
"Your mental energy has been operating at a high intensity for thirty-eight consecutive hours! Other planetary-level senators have all had some rest, but you've been relentlessly killing monsters without sleep. If this continues, you won't be able to hold on!"
However, Babata's warning was not yet finished.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!—"
A red alert has sounded again!
"Warning! An extremely high-intensity energy impact has been detected on the foundation structure of the A-7 main base in the Southeast Theater Command of China!"
"Warning! King-level monster 'Mountain-Shaking Whale King' spotted! Warning! King-level monster 'Eastern Sea Azure Dragon' spotted!"
Two enormous shadows, as large as small mountains, suddenly rose from beneath the sea.
One is the Mountain-Shaking Whale King, whose body is thousands of meters long and whose every tail swing can cause towering waves!
On the other side was a slender dragon with a body covered in blue scales, resembling the Azure Dragon of the East Sea from Chinese legend!
These two beast kings, who usually kept to themselves, have now joined forces to attack the defense line of the Southeast Theater!
"Luo Feng! Councilor Jia Yi is tied up by the monster! We're also tied up here! We can't let the two king-level monsters get close to the defensive line!"
On the public channel, a Chinese legislator urgently pleaded for help!
Once the two king-level monsters begin attacking the defense line, coupled with the endless beast tide, the entire southeast defense line will completely collapse, and the ordinary civilians who have not yet evacuated will be directly exposed to the beast tide's onslaught!
Luo Feng glanced at the horrific scene of the Third War Base of the Indian Empire transmitted back by Babata on the communication watch screen—the entire war base had been completely submerged by the endless beast tide, and all the blue lights representing soldiers had been extinguished.
He glanced again at the ordinary soldiers struggling at his feet.
He gritted his teeth, and the Sky Shuttle emitted a buzzing sound, transforming into a streak of light as it head-on confronted the two king-level monsters that were stirring up towering waves!
"You beasts! I am your opponent!"
Luo Feng's roar, amplified by his mental power, drowned out all the noise on the battlefield.
His voice was filled with boundless killing intent! The Sky Shuttle behind him instantly disintegrated, only to recombine in a mysterious way in the blink of an eye!
"Drilling cone!"
Countless blades are stacked on top of each other, forming a giant spiral drill bit!
The drill bit, imbued with Luo Feng's fury, plunged fiercely down towards the Mountain-Shaking Whale King and the Azure Dragon of the East Sea below!
