Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 244 Repelling Genova

Finally, after a grueling twenty seconds of perseverance, Zheng Zha was the first to exhaust himself. He could barely stand and could only maintain a kneeling position, looking up at the sky to confirm his victory.

Zhan Lan, on the other hand, managed to withstand the magic consumption of the war fortress for five or six seconds longer than Zheng Zha.

When the brilliance of Horus's Wrath completely faded, only Sephiroth's head, chest, and right arm remained in the Middle-earth team's sight.

Sephiroth looked miserable at that moment, with black particles constantly disappearing from his wounds, a sign that the Jenova cells in his body were dying.

Upon seeing that Sephiroth was still alive, without anyone needing to remind them, everyone present knew that they could not give him a chance to catch his breath. They all attacked together in perfect unison, determined to eliminate Sephiroth in one fell swoop.

In an instant, the cannon fire from the war fortress, Ming Yanwei's Noble Phantasm, Xiao Honglu's magic cannon, and Zhu Wen's magic—everyone was desperately trying to hit Sephiroth's attacks.

Ultimately, under everyone's combined attack, Sephiroth, who was already severely injured, was killed on the spot.

"We won?" Zhang Jie's mental scan swept over every detail around him, seemingly unable to believe that Sephiroth had been defeated so easily.

Qi Tengyi, who had barely contributed anything in the battle, looked at the Nen energy in his hand with resentment and said hesitantly, "...Perhaps we've won."

"What do you mean 'maybe we won'? Winning is winning, there's no such thing as 'maybe'!" Cheng Xiao, who hadn't been able to contribute much either, slapped Qi Teng on the back, then pulled him aside to whisper to him.

Chu Xuan took in his companion's expression, considered for a moment, and said, "We have achieved a temporary victory, but we cannot let our guard down."

The power of Genova that we have eliminated so far is hardly a crippling blow to Him overall.

Besides, now that Genova has been repelled, we're about to face an even more formidable enemy. Xiao Honglu, take this opportunity to quickly modify the airship. The rest of you, rest and prepare to face the new foe!

Everyone knows what Chu Xuan meant by the new enemy. Now, Genova has temporarily retreated and has even broken down and recycled the chimeras again.

The phantom monsters that were having a buffet on the outskirts of the Forgotten City lost their target for a moment, but were immediately attracted by the soul fluctuations emanating from the Central Continent Team. One by one, they burrowed underground and headed towards the Central Continent Team's location.

At this moment, Luo Li, unaware of how much time had passed or what was happening in the outside world, was still wandering aimlessly in the stream of life, like a headless fly.

Although Luo Li always remembered Sephiroth's advice and kept going against the current of life, she felt like she was going around in circles and couldn't find the source of life at all.

Luo Li stood at the intersection of the streams of life, looking at the two streams of life before her, her limited patience about to be exhausted.

What on earth is this Stream of Life?! I followed Sephiroth's instructions exactly, so why do I feel like I'm just spinning in circles?!
In that instant, Luo Li had an impulse to destroy everything in front of her and sweep through everything in her path. But fortunately, Luo Li remembered that she was there to save the world, not to destroy it, so she could only suppress her impulse and continue to move forward with her head down.

Outside the Stream of Life, after the fierce battle between the Central Continent Team and Genova, the entire City of Oblivion was unrecognizable. The Central Continent Team seized every second to rest until Zhang Jie, through his mental scan, discovered the Phantom Monster lurking underground. Upon discovering the Phantom Monster's tracks, Zhang Jie immediately activated the pre-set alarm.

As soon as the alarm sounded, everyone outside the war fortress retreated inside. Then, the outer walls of the war fortress began to deform, and soul barrier generators emerged from inside the fortress, draping the entire fortress in a blue cloak after activation.

Under the isolation of the azure soul barrier, the Phantoms from the outside world could no longer threaten the lives of the Team Central and the Androids within the fortress.

However, the Central Continent Team is also helpless against the Phantoms from the outside world. Moreover, the Central Continent Team has to face more than just Phantoms; if Genova returns, the soul barrier used to resist the Phantoms will definitely be destroyed.

Therefore, in order to avoid being attacked from both sides by Genova and the Phantom, Chu Xuan, Zhan Lan, Li Shuaixi, Zhu Wen, and all the androids who are good at magic worked together to quickly set up a large-scale magic show centered around Zhan Lan.

The top of the war fortress was dismantled, and the Sun Bible, the core of Horus's Wrath, was once again hung on Zhan Lan's waist. The original launch device was transformed into a small altar, surrounded by three different runes from the Sun Bible, primordial runes, and ancient Greek runes.

These three mysterious runes from different civilizations, when combined in a marvelous way, not only did not conflict, but even miraculously resonated, making the output of the entire magic more powerful and stable.

All of this was thanks to Zhu Wen. If it weren't for her constantly correcting the arrangement of the runes using prophecy, the group would never have been able to complete this magic array that integrated the essence of three civilizations.

Just before the magic circle was about to be activated, Zhan Lan, as the main core, suddenly spoke up and asked Chu Xuan, who was about to leave, "Chu Xuan, do you think Sephiroth is really dead?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan paused in his steps, which were about to leave. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I really hope he has been completely eliminated, but Genova is still here."

Chu Xuan finished speaking, but Zhan Lan realized that Sephiroth would definitely reappear. So she made up her mind and said, "I plan to use the concept of the sun!"

Chu Xuan felt that the situation wasn't so bad that Zhan Lan should use the Sun's probability to fight for her life, so he advised, "Are you sure?! Have you forgotten what Luo Li said back then? If you're not careful, you won't even have a chance to be resurrected."

Although Chu Xuan's tone remained as calm as ever, Zhan Lan could still sense his concern and said with a smile, "It's just a plan. I won't use it unless the situation becomes critical."

"Let's retrieve it now; we might just need that little bit of time when we really need it."

Chu Xuan remained silent for a long time before finally nodding and leaving without saying a word. Zhan Lan knew that he had tacitly approved of her actions, so she returned to the dimensional fragment.

The concept of the sun, which was suspended above the dimensional fragment and used by Luo Li as a small sun for light, was once again absorbed into her body.

Zhan Lan and Chu Xuan's conversation was intentionally kept from others, but for Zhu Wen, it was all part of the 'future' she could foresee.

After witnessing the tragic state of the 'future' firsthand, Zhu Wen made up her mind and went to find Chu Xuan alone.
