I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

A burst of golden light erupted.

A phantom rose from the scroll.

It was hazy and indistinct, yet it exuded an unparalleled aura of holiness.

The outline of the six wings appeared and disappeared in the light, and the holy light spread the next moment.

Like a tide, it spread outwards from Philip's position, enveloping everyone.

The tentacles stopped at the edge of the holy light.

It's like there's an invisible barrier keeping the pollution out.

Lu Yuan felt the whispers in his mind disappear.

My headache is lessening, and my vision is clearing up again.

You have received the blessings of the heavens.

[Effect: Grants partial immunity to contamination for half an hour, significantly enhances rationality and resilience, and strengthens the body.]

【理智：+10..+5..+3..58/70】

The gray and white text kept jumping around, and reason was rising at a visible speed.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and felt the power return to his limbs.

The others were also out of danger of losing their minds.

Gray stood up, Alice gripped the warhammer again, the lightning stabilized once more, the born ones shakily got to their feet, and the mechanical arms resumed functioning.

Only Philip's face looked even uglier.

He stared at the tattered reel in his hand, now reduced to ashes, his heart aching with unbearable pain.

"Marcus!"

Philip glared at Marcus and roared, "What are you still doing?!"

Marcus's mechanical eye rotated, and the red light stabilized again.

On that half-human face, as if it had caught something from the pollution, a look of madness appeared.

"The Judge".

His voice was as cold as iron.

"Lift restrictions! Open fire!"

Upon hearing this, the judge stepped forward.

The device on his chest finished preheating, steam gushed out, and emitted a sharp whistling sound.

next moment--

A crimson beam of light shot out with a roar!

It blasted straight at that indescribable mass of flesh and blood!

The crimson beam tore through the air and instantly disappeared into the blood cocoon formed by tentacles.

The flesh and blood that were hit instantly vaporized, emitting hissing sounds, and the stench of burning flesh spread immediately.

A huge hole was burned through the surface of the blood cocoon, and the splattered blue blood was still flowing, but in the blink of an eye it turned into eerie smoke and rose up.

Despite the power of the beam, the wounds it caused were too small to be of any use against the seemingly endless tentacles.

Tentacles surged from all around, filling the void, and flesh and blood regrowed at a visible rate.

But the judges did not stop.

Heavy footsteps crushed the ore on the ground, and the whole body continued to move forward, steam gushing from the joints, and the sound of gears turning echoed throughout the space.

The next moment, the armor on his body began to unfold, the metal shell on his back cracked open, and a row of skeletal structures slowly rose up, like some kind of folded mechanical spine.

The metal frame was engraved with dense runes, which glowed with a dark red light under the heat of the steam.

Both arms also deformed at the same time. The outer shell of the right arm fell off, revealing a rotating saw blade inside. The saw teeth were covered with dark red rust. Then it began to rotate. The speed of the saw blade increased, and it emitted a piercing whistling sound.

A large needle-like appendage extended from his left arm, connecting to a metal canister at his waist. The silver liquid inside swayed with the judge's every step.

"boom"

The judge's leg device emitted even more intense steam, and the next moment his body suddenly accelerated, like a cannonball, crashing straight into it.

The saw blade swept across, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The tentacles were sliced ​​into pieces the instant they made contact, and blue blood splattered everywhere.

The judge advanced through a rain of blood, his saw blade spinning relentlessly, shredding anything in his path into a bloody pulp.

Then tentacles surged up from other angles.

They attempted to entangle the judge, but the runes on the judge's back lit up.

A dark red light flashed, and the tentacles made a "sizzling" sound the moment they touched the armor, as if they were being burned by a branding iron, and instantly shrank.

The judge broke free of his restraints, and the needle in his left arm pierced a thick tentacle.

As the silvery liquid was injected.

The flesh began to rot and spread rapidly outwards. The mutated creature emitted a sharper hiss, and its entire body trembled. In the end, it could only abandon the contaminated tentacle.

But the judge continued forward, wielding its saw blade, tearing a bloody path through the tentacles.

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly as he watched this scene; the Judge's combat power had completely surpassed the understanding of the extraordinary system.

With its indestructible armor and terrifying speed, even two more Alices wouldn't be enough to cut it down.

I reckon only Morgan's structural engineering could possibly compete with this steel behemoth.

The Judge completely abandoned its defenses, not even pausing when struck by tentacles. Runes flashed, and steam sealed the wounds as it continued forward.

With pure offense, they forcefully restrained the constantly twisting tentacles.

At the same time, the two newborn beings next to Marcus moved simultaneously.

They flanked from both sides, one on the left and one on the right, coordinating with the judge's offensive with synchronized movements, as if it had been rehearsed beforehand.

A long blade shot out from the arm of one of the newborn, its cold light flashing, to block the tentacles that were wrapping around the flank of the Judge. The blade flashed repeatedly, the tentacles snapped off, and the Judge cleared more space to attack.

The other newborn's arm ended in a metal container.

He didn't participate in the fighting; instead, whenever blue blood splattered, he would catch it precisely, his movements practiced and flawless, not a single drop was wasted.

Marcus stood at the back, remaining motionless.

The mechanical eye rotates continuously, scanning the entire battlefield with red light.

But Lu Yuan noticed that his gaze was not on the alien creature.

"The scroll's barrier... is nearing its limit!"

Philip's voice came through, tinged with anxiety.

Although the judges before us are powerful, they will eventually tire. If we do not retreat, we will all be doomed sooner or later.

Lu Yuan turned around and saw that Philip's face was pale, his forehead veins were bulging, and the holy light barrier around him was thinning, like diluted milk, and the golden-white light was getting fainter and fainter.

As the words fell, the holy light receded, shrinking from the edges to the center like a tide, until it finally disappeared completely.

The group was once again exposed to the space shrouded in blue light.

[Warning: Deeply mutated creature sighted. Determination in progress, assessment failed...]

[Sanity: -1...-1, 56/70]

The gray and white text flickered again, and Lu Yuan felt the whispers in his mind begin again.

However, it wasn't as intense as before, and the rate at which sanity dropped was much slower. Clearly, the blessing from the sky had provided extremely strong benefits.

Alice looked at Marcus, who was still standing in the same spot, and then at the Judge who was struggling in battle. She gripped her warhammer and charged forward.

"Marcus, you'd better hurry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning flashed on the hammerhead, and with a single blow, crushed an approaching tentacle.

Alice positioned herself behind and to the side of the Judge, and with the aid of the scroll, she blocked most of the attacks coming from behind.

Gray had already raised a large-caliber weapon and stood in front of Lu Yuan, smashing the tentacles that were trying to sneak up.

Philip and two deacons raised the holy emblem, barely creating a small area of ​​protection.
