Chapter 1306: 424. Toolman? No!
“Manually alert all guild members, a Demon God Host has spawned in the Motuoli Gxy, hurry over. The spatial beacon has been ced, just teleport here after you pass through the Star Gate.”
“Hey? By the way, if the people whoeter join us in fighting the Demon God Host, can we alsoplete that SS-level task incidentally?”
“Damn, they’d be making a fortune then, wouldn’t we just be working for them?”
“I think it’s not a big issue. The reward for the side quest is likely distributed based on contribution. Those of us who boarded first will definitely have the upper hand.”
“I also think that’s the case…”
The yers who arrived first at the heavy transport ship were boisterously discussing this.
...
More and more ships teleported in around the transport fleet, significantly increasing the pressure on the Artificial Angels.
The battle between the Artificial Angels and the yer fleet intensified, quickly turning into a dazzling fireworks show.
A small yer chimed in:
“Do you think the United Bureau wille to help us fight the Demon God Host?”
His question caused a few seconds of silence in the voice channel.
“Oh right, this isn’t the United Bureau’s territory; they have no obligation to maintain order here. Even if a Demon God Host appeared, the United Bureau wouldn’t dispatch a fleet to suppress it.”
“If we don’t have the United Bureau’s support, can we still defeat the Demon God Host?”
“We can temporarily use Three Ring Magic now; this must be the game’s way of bncing the gap between us and the Demon God Host.”
“Can the new yers use Three Ring Magic too?”
“Yes, yes, I asked. After they moved closer to the fleet, they also sessfully activated their Academy Badges, allowing them to use Three Ring Magic just like us.”
“Oh~ I see. It must be intentional by the shrewd game designers. If we encounter a Demon God Host in the territories of the United Bureau, our assistancees from them. If it’s outside their territory, then our helpes from the Academy Badge. That’s the idea, right?”
Uh… not necessarily.
Nnd Lee, listening to the yers’ discussion on the side, slightly shook his head.
If the Demon God Cell had no use to him, Nnd Lee wouldn’t always appear at the scene of the Demon God Host’s appearance just to join in on the action; the yers have always had only themselves to rely on.
Nnd Lee nced at the scene outside the ship.
In space, yer ships were as numerous as hairs, with at least tens of thousands of ships gathered here.
Just for the Battleships, Nnd Lee spotted over 300 of them.
Battleships are specifically used to attackrge targets.
The heavy cruise missiles theyunched could each create either a fireball more than two kilometers in diameter or a thunderstorm field.
The 11 still freely moving Artificial Angels were now overwhelmed by the ocean-like firepower.
After the yers continuously killed them four times, the defense forces of the transport fleet were essentially eliminated.
Nnd Lee, while granting the newly arrived yers ess to use Three Ring Magic, waited for them tounch an attack on the Demon God Host.
Even with the aid of magic, thebat capability of individual yers was still hard topare with a Combat Escort Ship.
— This level ofbat power, nicely put, could be called “able to avoid attacks from Artificial Angels with a high sess rate”; more bluntly, it was “not even able to break the defense of the Artificial Angels.”
To defeat the Artificial Angels in directbat, one inevitably needed to be on a Battleship.
The agility and defensive abilities of the Demon God Host were even greater than those of the Artificial Angels, making the forting battle’s difficulty predictable.
In Nnd Lee’s view, the bestbat strategy was not to fight the Demon God Host inside the ship, but to lure it into outer space and cover it with a saturation attack of cannons and missiles from the ships.
The Commander in charge of directing the yers’bat had probably thought of this as well.
Those yers who remained on the heavy transport ship started evacuating.
They gave up the Experience and readily obtainable spoils of war from killing the armed crewmen and quickly returned the way they came, crawling out through the holes in the cargo bay.
In just a short while, the noisy ship was left only with the wailing of the armed crewmen.
Nnd Lee nced at the Laboratory, pondered for a moment, and then left the ship as well.
In the Laboratory, the Demon God Host was eating.
Yes, literally.
It considered the Dark Priests and armed crewmen as provisions, devouring people like them to rapidly replenish its nutrients.
The body of the Demon God Host was slightly more robust, but its muscr appearance was hard to change; evidently, consuming Ordinary People did not provide much nutrition.
Moreover, Nnd Lee noticed another detail.
That was that the Demon God Host did not eat metal objects nor could it draw energy from the ship’s Energy Pipeline Network.
Otherwise, why would the Demon God Host ignore the sparking wires and only focus on devouring flesh and blood?
Nnd Lee’s observations did not stop there.
He used Blood Magic to perform an X-ray on the Demon God Host, seeing its organs and skeleton.
During its feeding, the Demon God Host went from having one heart to three, and a fourth heart was growing.
It had also developed three additional pairs of lungs.
Other organs like the liver, kidneys, and spleen all showed growth.
The most exaggerated was the stomach; the Demon God Host actually had nine of these, with a tenth now growing.
All these organs were squeezed into a body as slender as a pole, barely making the torso bulge a bit.
Just about when Nnd Lee leisurely walked to the cargo bay, the growth of the Demon God Host’s organs stopped, and instead, the bone spikes on its body surface began to extend outward.
