An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 304 Thirteen Demigods

"Boom!!!"

The enormous buzzing sound seemed to pierce people's eardrums. Chu Xiu saw the air waves rolling in the sky. The originally calm sky was like the waves pushed by an aircraft carrier entering the sea, forming a huge shock wave that could be seen with the naked eye!

"boom!"

In an instant, huge clouds of dust rose up on every street in the city, and all the windows of buildings without shield generators shattered at the same time!
To the astonishment of Chu Xiu and the other two, a flat surface, seemingly cast in bronze, cut into the crack, followed by a huge, complex, yet streamlined geometric structure.

As the main structure became fully visible, a massive alien spaceship appeared in the three people's sight. It was like a space mothership magnified a thousand times, and the moment it appeared, it completely blocked out the remaining sunlight, casting a huge shadow over the city.

Modular armor covering thousands of square kilometers began to unfold, and the surface of the ship was covered with honeycomb-shaped energy grids. A heavy hum emanated from inside this behemoth, and each exhaust could stir up an astonishing air wave, like an ancient beast roaring.

The three had completely forgotten about the fight and were simply staring blankly at the enormous spaceship.

In his previous life, Chu Xiu had once seen a 10,000-ton cruiser from afar. The shock of seeing it in reality was completely different from that of seeing it online. Online, it was a huge ship, but in reality, it was a tall building that had been flattened.

But the spaceship that appeared overhead was a thousand times, ten thousand times, larger than this! It was a colossal object with a length exceeding fifty kilometers. Chu Xiu couldn't even comprehend what material it was made of that could maintain such a massive structure without being torn apart by gravity.

Before he could recover from the shock, tens of thousands of empty compartments suddenly opened at the bottom of the ship, and then spherical objects rolled out from them!
Under the influence of gravity, those objects accelerated as they plummeted toward the city, like howling demons. The moment they hit the city, they instantly transformed into a blazing white ball of light! This was followed by a sweeping wave of fire and a massive shockwave from the explosion!

Those high-rise buildings protected by shield generators were fine, but some old urban areas, roads and highways were engulfed by the sweeping flames in an instant!
A bomb landed near Chu Xiu, and he felt a wave of heat hit him, as if he had crashed into a burning wall of fire! When the shockwave dissipated, the entire commercial street had been turned into a sea of ​​fire!

Shops, flags, greenery—everything in sight was on fire, like a dry mountain forest swept by a foehn wind!

Chu Xiu's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. He quickly contacted his consciousness with the Blood Demon Avatar. Fortunately, the underground where his parents were located had not been affected, but the sound of the explosion and the continuous tremors caused great panic.

The other two also looked solemn, clearly having no intention of fighting. The three exchanged glances and tacitly abandoned the divine meteorite iron worth millions of karma points, then rushed into the sky together!
The spherical energy bombs continued to fall. Chu Xiu shouted, and his demonic energy transformed into thousands of arrows behind him. The next moment, they hit the bombs with precision like shooting stars, detonating them in mid-air. The other two also used their supernatural abilities, and the three of them worked together to form a protective zone in the air.

Meanwhile, high-level awakened beings continued to rise in the distance, preventing the bombs from falling.

Suddenly, a beam of lightning as bright as incandescent light flashed past Chu Xiu's eye and shot straight into the sky!

The lightning bolt was incredibly fast, reaching an altitude of ten thousand meters in the blink of an eye. The next instant, an even more intense burst of lightning erupted upwards, like a hundred-meter-long spear forged from thunder, piercing the giant ship with unparalleled force!
The lightning, condensed to its extreme, instantly transformed into a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius. In a flash, it pierced through the outer shield of the giant ship and melted its outer armor like burning paper, creating a huge wound tens of meters in diameter and at least thousands of meters deep!

"Buzz!"

The giant ship let out a heavy groan as if it had been severely damaged, and even its body began to tilt, with thick black smoke billowing from the wound.

This scene caused the soldiers and awakened individuals who had been pale-faced in front of the giant ship to cheer together, greatly boosting their morale!

As the lightning dissipated, a figure appeared in mid-air; it was none other than the Divine Might Daoist!
This relieved Chu Xiu a little. He had to admit that the oppressive feeling of the giant ship was indeed too great, making him feel like a futuristic city was pressing down on his head. However, it was clear that in front of a powerful awakened one, even the hardest steel was as fragile as paper.

However, just as everyone was showing surprise, a loud laugh that shook the heavens suddenly came from above!
The next instant, a dark figure rushed out of the giant ship, its body crackling with intense lightning! It aimed directly at the Divine Might Daoist!

Shenwei Daoist snorted coldly, and his body also erupted with dazzling lightning!

As the two collided, the entire world was instantly engulfed in white light!
However, when the white light dissipated, people were horrified to find that the Divine Might Taoist had been sent flying backwards and was falling towards the city!

Shenwei Daoist was defeated?

Everyone looked on incredulously. At that moment, the figure that had rushed out revealed its true form. It was a humanoid creature about five meters tall, with dark brown skin covered with mysterious patterns. It was burly, with muscles bulging as if they had exploded, and a long horn with nine rings on it.

The creature crossed its arms, looked triumphantly at the terrified crowd below, took a deep breath, and shouted down:
"Listen up, you lowly creatures! I am Magadha, the third general under the Holy and Highest God! I have come here to spread the light of my Lord!"

His voice contained a mysterious penetrating power, not only traveling tens of kilometers, but also penetrating the reinforced concrete refuge facilities, reaching the ears of everyone underground!

Even more terrifying, as his words fell, twelve other figures appeared behind him. Although they were different in size and appearance, each of them had a nine-ringed horn on its head and exuded a terrifying aura. They were all demigods!

Thirteen demigods!
These thirteen figures were like judges announcing death, coldly and mockingly watching the crowd below. Even the powerful heroes could not help but show expressions of despair.

Magadha's voice continued:

"In seven days, our Lord will unleash divine punishment, destroying all unbelievers. To survive, you must offer your sincerity! Offer your blood and death to our Lord!"

"Before the divine punishment descends, killing any one of your kind of equal rank will grant you the blessing of our Lord, making you one of us. If you kill a lower-ranking one, the number of people required will increase by ten for each lower rank. Moreover, the more people you kill, the more generous the reward will be. You will shed your frail bodies and embrace great power!"

"Furthermore, our lord also offers extra preferential treatment to the strong!"

With a wave of his hand, he hurled hundreds of orbs of light from his hand, which shot out toward the areas where the various heroic spirits of the city were located.

"This is a blessing specially prepared for you by our Lord. As long as you take it, you will directly become one of us and possess at least 'seventh ring' power—or, in your words, a Heroic Spirit-level SS trait!"

"Your bodies will also be strengthened, and you can directly become generals under our lord, enjoying unparalleled glory and privileges. You can choose the wealth, resources, and women you desire from among the hundreds of civilizations conquered by our lord!"

"This is our Lord's final mercy and respect for you. Those who remain obstinate will surely suffer the most severe punishment!"

After speaking, Magadha looked at the crowd below with a relaxed expression, like an audience member watching a play.

As he finished speaking, Chu Xiu saw three orbs of light fly rapidly toward him, eventually landing in front of him, Ella, and the pink-haired girl respectively.

[Seed of the Extraterrestrial Demon Arcatos: Upon consumption, the race changes to "Horned Demon," and the user gains the traits "Horned Demon Body (A)" and "Magic Horns (A)." The quality of these traits increases based on the user's rank, up to a maximum of SS.]

All three stared at the props in front of them, none of them reaching for them, and a deathly silence fell over the room. At that moment, a large amount of green gas spewed out from the honeycomb-structured fence on the side of the ship. The gas gathered above Pengcheng, forming a huge green sea of ​​clouds, and soon after, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

The rain fell on the roof with a hissing sound, and a wisp of white steam rose from the brick wall, which was soon corroded and pitted.

This acid rain doesn't cause much trouble for awakened individuals, but it's deadly to buildings. Chu Xiu could sense that the shield generators on those high-rise buildings were rapidly depleting their energy, and once the shields were exhausted, those modern weapons would quickly become unusable under the corrosive effects of the acid rain.

"They really don't leave anyone any way out." Chu Xiu tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing an ugly bitter smile.

At this moment, perhaps finally unable to withstand the pressure, Ella suddenly reached out and grabbed at the [seed] in front of her!
Almost at the same moment, the pink-haired girl's sword flashed, but this time it wasn't aimed at Chu Xiu, but at Ella!

The space behind Ella suddenly fluctuated, like a vortex sucking her figure in completely, and she disappeared from the spot in a strange way, dodging the attack. However, the [seed] was completely shattered in the dazzling blade light!
Ella's figure reappeared in reality, glaring fiercely at the pink-haired girl, who returned the glare without flinching. But then her expression suddenly changed drastically, because in the midst of their exchange, Chu Xiu had already grabbed the [Seed] in front of him, and at the same time, he activated the Garuda Wings to their fullest extent, tearing through space in an instant and rushing to the pink-haired girl's side!
"you!"

The girl only had time to let out an angry shout before Chu Xiu's fist arrived, and golden flames ignited in his eyes! The girl felt herself being firmly suppressed in place by a tremendous force, with no way to dodge. She could only raise her longsword to take the blow head-on!
"boom!"

The girl's body was blasted hundreds of meters away, while Chu Xiu caught the second [seed] in his hand.

With the two seeds in hand, Chu Xiu felt a little relieved. With these two seeds, he could give them to his parents if they were ever in dire straits.

Although it might turn your parents into horned demons, as long as they survive, there are plenty of ways to change things later.

Of course, this is also a last resort when one is truly forced into a desperate situation.

Just as he held the [seed] in his hand, he heard a roar like that of a young lion from afar, and saw a pink-haired girl burst out of the ruins with a furious expression on her face!
"The government trusted you so much, and you were the first to betray us!"

She seemed truly enraged, the blade in her hand flashing more than twice as fiercely as before! Ella also transformed into a wolf of fear, disappearing into the shadows and silently appearing beside Chu Xiu!

Facing the two attackers again, Chu Xiu showed no fear. His demonic energy surged, and he swung his fist to meet them!
But just as the three were about to collide, a furious shout suddenly rang out from the sky: "Enough!"

Immediately, Chu Xiu felt a tremendous force push against him, causing him to stagger back several steps. The other two were also separated by that force.

Chu Xiu looked up and met a somewhat surprised gaze. It seemed that the person had not expected Chu Xiu to have such a high physique, and had only made him take a few steps back.

However, that look of surprise was fleeting, quickly turning into a furious expression as he roared, "What kind of time is this to be fighting amongst ourselves? The commotion you're making here can be felt twenty kilometers away! Are you trying to continue creating panic?"

This person was tall and imposing; he was none other than the square-faced demigod that Chu Xiu had seen at the base center before!
None of the three, including Chu Xiu, dared to face the wrath of a demigod.

Ella remained silent and took a few steps back. The pink-haired girl glanced guiltily at the angry square-faced man, but after hesitating for a moment, she pointed at Chu Xiu and said, "Senior, I just saw him collect the [seeds], and he even took two."

Upon hearing this, the square-faced man glared at Chu Xiu, who replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Senior, rest assured, I will not use this item. However, I have other plans, and I am afraid I cannot give these two [seeds] to you."

Upon hearing this, the pink-haired girl immediately retorted angrily, "You believe his ghost?"

"Enough!" The square-faced man shouted, startling the pink-haired girl.

He glanced at the three people present, waved his hand, picked up the divine meteorite iron on the ground, and said, "You three, come with me."

Having said that, he took off and flew rapidly into the distance.

The three exchanged glances. Chu Xiu could clearly see from the other two's eyes that they were somewhat dissatisfied with him, but none of them dared to act presumptuously in front of a demigod, so they had no choice but to obediently follow.

Soon, following the square-faced man, the four arrived at the government's base. Chu Xiu immediately saw the Divine Might Daoist lying in the middle, seriously injured. Surrounding him were many heroic spirits, each with a solemn expression. The atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive and heavy.

The man with the square face walked up to a handsome, distinguished middle-aged man and asked, "Where is Fengming?"

The man was the other demigod Chu Xiu had seen upstairs. He said, "I'm organizing information. I'll be there soon. You should take care of those three guys first."

The square-faced man nodded, then turned to the three of them. He first looked at Ella and sneered, "You've already reached a deal, but you're going back on your word at the last minute. Is this how you do business in your Alliance Council?"

Ella seemed somewhat intimidated by the square-faced man, but still scoffed in somewhat broken Chinese, "So I'm just supposed to suffer for nothing? You Chinese people always seem to favor the Chinese."

The square-faced man sneered, "Don't give me that. You broke your promise first, and now you're trying to argue your way out of this?"

Ella remained silent.

The man with the square face continued, "I heard you want to trade for 300,000 karma points. Here are 300,000 karma points, and this matter will be settled. Of course, we will retrieve the karma points you have already paid in advance."

Ella was taken aback at first, but then her face lit up with joy, and she readily agreed.

The square-faced man turned to the pink-haired girl, his expression still displeased: "Is this how your master taught you? To steal from others on the street?"

The girl shrank back timidly and whispered, "Senior Huang, please don't tell my master. I made all the decisions on my own."

The square-faced man sneered, "I don't have time to talk nonsense. Let's just let this matter drop. Don't try anything funny again. Any problems?"

The girl nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Finally, the square-faced man turned around and fixed his gaze on Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu felt a scrutinizing gaze, like that of an eagle, fall upon him, as if trying to see through all his secrets.

"Tell me, what are you planning to do with those two [seeds]?"
