Heroes Return

It was under this burst of divine power that the magical barrier that was already operating continuously finally showed signs of damage after several battles.

Countless legions began to charge toward the city walls.

"Damn it! The people below are all powerful experts. We can't let them get close to the city wall so easily. Besides, that army looks too strange. Their movements and everything else are just weird." With a helpless sigh, Xiao Zhan finally spoke up.

"Rest assured, since we have come, we are naturally prepared. Junior brother, you know the Tathagata Buddha's staff!"

"Seriously, can't you guys change your name?" Xiao Zhan couldn't help but ask. But at this moment, they watched as Master Wuneng and the others carried an object that looked like a vajra to the top of the city wall.

"This is a magic weapon that Senior Brother Bored made before his death, and he also named it." Wuliang said helplessly, "Alright, it's up to you now, Incompetent Senior Brother."

"Although my footwork is not as good as Junior Brother Bored, leave it to me!" Wu Neng said, his eyes suddenly opening wide. As golden light flowed in his eyes, Wu Neng kicked down on the Vajra Pestle.

"Hey! So it's for kicking? With that name, it's incredibly disrespectful! Are you really monks?" But Xiao Zhan's surprise was immediately overwhelmed by what followed.

The moment Wu Neng kicked the Vajra Pestle, a massive shockwave that was impossible to dodge spread outwards.

Immediately before everyone's eyes, one after another, the vigorous siege warriors who had just climbed the city wall fell to the ground, and the soldiers below also collapsed. However, everyone's actions were surprisingly consistent: they all covered their genitals...

That's right, they all covered their genitals.

"What are you looking at! Open fire!" Wu Neng suddenly shouted to the crowd, "Once they recover, we'll continue the attack!"

Upon hearing this, almost everyone reacted, and their energy began to surge towards the siege line. Massive casualties ensued. For a time, Xiao Zhan's side became the most secure point of defense near all the cities.

The S-class heroes on the same side of the city wall were all so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

Without a doubt, the legion of gods that chose this direction to attack the city has become the most unfortunate legion of gods.

As the remaining enemies rushed up, Wuyu immediately kicked the demon-subduing pestle hard. The shockwave spread out again, and everyone collapsed to the ground, clutching their groins once more.

At this moment, the true nature and terror of the Guanggun Temple were finally revealed to the world.

Even so, it doesn't mean the gods can be so easily stopped; in fact, the battle is now becoming increasingly unfavorable. The reason is simple: right in the city, a magical pillar suddenly collapsed without anyone noticing.

Lying atop the pillars were a large number of heroes and demons, covering their genitals.

"Sorry, I couldn't help but kick it when I saw the columnar shape," a monk said with a hint of helplessness. "But I really just can't seem to stop."

Chapter 68

With the continuous appearance of ferocious beasts and powerful warriors or legions, the war began to escalate. For a time, the defenses on Xiao Zhan's side were the most secure. After the treasure of the Baron Death was unleashed, its destructive power far exceeded the expectations of the Gods' Legion.

It can be said that almost every kick from Wu Neng and his crew would cause a large number of enemies to fall to the ground clutching their groins.

However, the battles in the other directions were far less easy. In one direction, a massive legion of giants appeared on the battlefield and charged towards the city walls. With the collapse of a pillar, subtle changes occurred to the magic circle. The restrictive magic within the circle also underwent subtle shifts.

However, these changes alone were enough. These changes alone allowed the armies of the gods to create another breach in the magical barrier in a short period of time.

A relentless stream of troops poured in through the breach, engaging in a chaotic and fierce battle with the ever-flowing demonic armies within the city. The forces of light and darkness clashed violently beneath the city walls. On the city's outskirts, the most powerful forbidden spells, universally acknowledged by the magical world, were being tossed around by the powerful figures of both sides as if they were free.

Countless meteors and fireballs rained down from the sky, while a sacred, protective barrier began to unfurl across the ground, spreading out over vast areas in the shape of legions. A warrior wielding a holy sword unleashed a sword beam hundreds of meters long, cleaving a demon in two. The next second, dozens of black fangs pierced the demon's body.

Immediately afterward, a gigantic, worm-like creature emerged from the ground and ripped the opponent's body into several pieces. Then, this worm-like creature was grabbed by a giant and crushed to pieces. Following this, demons flew overhead, hurling energy blasts burning with purple flames at the giant, tearing several holes in its body, and causing it to collapse to the ground.

But the next second, several gleaming spears shot down from the sky, piercing through one of the flying demons and sending it crashing to the ground. Immediately afterwards, several angels swooped down from above, their longswords attacking the monsters that were throwing fireballs, piercing through the flying demons in the blink of an eye.

However, the next second, a small nuclear weapon carrying the final system shot towards the angels. As a small mushroom cloud appeared, only a few feathers drifted down from the sky.

As the glowing feathers landed, a mech nonchalantly stepped onto them, its heavy machine gun unleashing a furious barrage of fire at the enemy. Suddenly, a figure in a long robe appeared beneath the mech, wielding a longsword that slashed down with incredible speed. The massive mech's metal leg was easily severed with a single strike. But the next second, another mech wielding a lightsaber pierced the figure's body with its own lightsaber.

Such battles were almost everywhere on the battlefield.

A massive lava fireball descended from the sky, hurtling towards the people dressed in priestly robes behind it. But the next second, a beautiful woman gently raised her hand, and a colossal wave rose directly from the ground, sweeping towards the fireball.

The battlefield, like a meat grinder, continued relentlessly. Countless undead legions rose from the ground and charged at the enemy, only to be annihilated once again by enemy magic.

The battle was not over yet. Countless ships radiating light floated in the sky, and those dressed in holy robes continuously unleashed powerful spells upon each other.

Countless black-robed figures on the ground raised their hands and erected magical barriers.

However, just as everyone was overwhelmed by the ships with dazzling magical runes constantly appearing in the sky, the pillars on the ground began to gather enormous magical energy. After absorbing the magical energy from the surrounding battlefield, the pillars began to compress and release this power all at once, sinking many ships instantly.

A battle resembling a meat grinder was unfolding on the battlefield, and the entire human mech legion was thrown into the fray.

"Humans, do you really think you can withstand our attack?" The man holding the trident glanced coldly at Leng Yan. The endless seawater had already spread to the top of the city wall, where a fierce battle was raging.

"Don't underestimate humans." Leng Yan's words were icy cold. At that very moment, Rose's powerful wings suddenly unfurled, and she flew directly towards the old man.

Seeing Dorothy fly towards him, the old man swung his trident directly at her, but the next second it collided with the constantly spinning knight's lance in her hand. The feathers on the steel wings on his back suddenly extended, and countless shards shot out in all directions, piercing through the bodies of many of the powerful warriors who were rushing up with the waves.

"Godslayer Mode activated. Divine power analysis complete, water resistance analysis complete. Generating corresponding armor against water divine power." As Rose unleashed a torrent of data, the knight's lance suddenly increased its power, instantly sending her flying backward.

However, the old man was no weakling either. With a mere wave of his hand, Rose was flung away by the trident in another direction. At this moment, Leng Yan didn't waste any words and immediately rejoined the battle. A large number of warriors had already rushed to the city walls to protect the energy cannons, especially the comical cannon developed by Xiao Zhan. All the demons and heroes on the city walls were mobilized.

The forces of light and darkness, science and magic, divine power and superpowers—all converged on this battlefield, creating the most intense war in human history.

On the ground battlefield, the aerial fortress that this round of development had finally succumbed, pierced through by a giant's fist. But inside the fortress, the remaining staff all jumped into the mechs and flew out. They didn't retreat; instead, they continued their charge into this seemingly deadly battlefield.

The reason was simple: their orders were to hold this place until that person arrived! The thought of that person filled everyone with fighting spirit. As long as they held this place and waited for that person's arrival, that would be their victory.

"Damn it! That mech squad has suffered over half its casualties! Why aren't they retreating?!" Looking at the lone mechs fighting on the distant city wall, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but exclaim. It seemed only the mech squads remained combat-ready on the city wall. The guarding cannons and the demon legion's men had been almost completely wiped out.

“They can’t retreat; that’s their order. That’s how soldiers are; even if they die in battle, they must carry out their orders.” Dongyang said to Xiao Zhan, “Moreover, those giants over there are incredibly strong. They’re using nothing but divine power; without a doubt, they are Titans, gods from mythology.”

Just as Dongyang said, right there, both humans and demons were utterly crushed by these giants. But thinking about it, that's not surprising, considering they have a legendary name: Titans!

Faced with the Titans' attack, almost no one there could withstand it. It quickly became one of the main breaches in the legions of the gods.

Seeing this, Dongyang showed no sign of anxiety: "You guys continue to guard, I'll go help out."

As it spoke, its doll-like body transformed into a butterfly and vanished, flying away into the distance.

"Damn it!" Watching the massive number of Titans charge towards the distant city walls, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but curse, "I didn't expect the second trump card to be released so quickly!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Zhan took out his communicator and barked twice into it.

On the other end of the communicator, DouDou jumped directly to a machine that was as big as a house and started it up.

On the battlefield, a mech pilot frantically pulled the trigger, but unfortunately, the triggers seemed to have little effect. The energy appeared to be completely depleted. Then, right in front of him, a giant hand descended from the sky.

Just when the warrior thought he was doomed, the giant hand didn't fall directly. Instead, a beautiful girl, exquisitely beautiful like a porcelain doll, appeared before him. She simply raised her hand, and the enormous palm didn't descend for a moment.

Immediately right in front of the soldier, a huge, comical figure appeared...

That's right, a huge, comical head rose up from inside the city wall, followed by a second, a third, a fourth...

A continuous stream of enormous, comical heads rose from inside the city walls, and then these giant, comical figures actually scaled the walls and charged straight at the Titans...

Even the Titans, among the gods, were stunned when they saw this scene, and were completely blocked for a moment.

"..." In the sky, those beings who had not yet met their end in the Great Difficulty couldn't help but show expressions of surprise upon seeing these strange beings appear.

But as expected, the battle continued.

In the city, the fourth pillar also collapsed. Right at the feet of the Bored Master, a Solomon magical girl clutched her face and fell in pain.

"Sorry, it seems like it hurts for girls too when they get kicked there." He sighed helplessly.

"Master Boredom!" Just as Master Boredom was about to move closer to another pillar, Bai Yu and Master Miracle appeared beside him.

"Why did you do this?" the Master of Miracles asked, puzzled.

"Ah, I didn't want to either, you know, the call of Valhalla."

"Then only those who answer the summons will be resurrected, right?"

"Who knew I'd be summoned for this kind of thing before I was even here?" Master Bored shrugged helplessly. "I only answered the summons because of the pretty ladies. Turns out it's a pyramid scheme. Alright, let's get started. But do you really think the two of you can stop me?"

Chapter 69

In the sky, a white-robed man with a full beard finally acted upon seeing three pillars collapse. With a mere wave of his hand, a massive burst of light filled the sky above the city, erupting without warning.

With the eruption of terrifying power, the barrier of the end times in the city, which was somewhat out of place due to the successive destruction of three pillars, finally could no longer withstand the attack of the gods and shattered with a crash.

At that very moment, the gods' all-out attack finally began.

In the vast sky, the goddesses riding winged horses finally turned their gaze to the city below. Behind them, a palace appeared. From within the palace, a large number of warriors rushed out and leaped to the ground; among them were many fallen superheroes.

However, right next to the palace, a floating island also appeared in the sky at the same time.

"Is this your choice?" As the floating island appeared, the Valkyries in the sky all drew their longswords. Almost simultaneously, a large number of superhumans jumped down from the island. Even facing their former comrades, they ultimately made their choice.

"Zero System activated!" In the command center, Number One issued his order with a hint of dejection: "I'm sorry, my daughter, it seems I have to bury you with my own hands once again. Although I know this is what you would have wanted, it still feels wrong to me..."

At this point, Number One hesitated, unable to continue. Meanwhile, two enormous energy links extended from the island in the sky, and two massive energy swords appeared at the other end of these links. Almost instantly, the giant energy swords from the island's energy links slashed directly down at the Valkyrie in the sky.

After everyone voted, the floating islands reached their conclusion. Since Zero is still fighting, what reason do they have not to continue fighting?

Rocky and almost all of them jumped off the island to join the increasingly difficult battlefield.

"You've finally arrived, Rocky?" After sending a Cyclops flying with a single punch, Captain Justice asked Rocky, who had landed not far from them.

"So, Senior Fist of Glory is here too?" The figure of the Swift Light Girl appeared above the two of them. While exchanging a few words, the energy barrier in the Swift Light Girl's hand instantly absorbed an incoming energy shock, and then released it again at an astonishing speed.

With the addition of SS-class combatants such as Loki, Cloud, Irene, Nen, Crypt, and Kira, as well as the floating islands and a large number of superpowered individuals, the already precarious city walls were once again given a brief respite.

Of course, this was not the end. In the distance, a terrifying fleet of thousands of massive motherships finally appeared at the edge of the vast sky. Even before they could be seen in the distance, a sky-covering barrage of energy cannons erupted from afar.

Numerous aircraft emerged from the mothership, joining the chaotic aerial battle. A third force had finally emerged in the skies: humanity's air force had officially entered the fray. The mothership's main cannons unleashed a fierce barrage on the countless armies of gods filling the sky, and the airships that had been in the air became one of the fleet's primary targets.

As numerous transport planes flew over the city, a large number of metal crates were airdropped from the sky. The crates opened, and rows of state-of-the-art mechs emerged from the massive metal containers. Among them, several mech squads were particularly eye-catching, as these were all SS-class mechs developed by Gear.

In the blink of an eye, space twisted, and an angel was pulled in front of the group wielding stellar energy. Immediately afterward, an energy sword sliced ​​the angel in two. Elsewhere, a warrior in golden armor rushed to the side of the mech at incredible speed and slashed down with his sword. The next second, however, he found himself completely in a different position from the mech, and his strike missed. Then, space twisted again, and the mech and the enemy abruptly returned to their original positions, while a massive lightsaber fell this time.

This time, the mechs Lin Jie encountered differed from those he faced last time in one key aspect: these SS-class Star Mechs were all piloted by the World Government's most elite ace pilots, not by autopilot systems.

With the strong intervention of the air forces of the world's peripheral governments, this long battle has once again become more intriguing.

"It seems humanity has changed." The bearded man in the white robe said helplessly. Then he pointed his wooden staff, and a warship was directly pierced by the terrifying light and crashed.

"Rose, go deal with that guy." Leng Yan's voice rang out in the communicator. Upon hearing this, Rose reacted immediately, abandoning the person she was fighting and rushing towards the white-robed, bearded man in the sky.

"Without that monster's help, do you think you can stop me?" The old man with the trident came to the city wall where Leng Yan and the others were once again and stared at Leng Yan.

At this moment, all the pillars in the city began to unleash their massive demon armies, and the magical girls of Solomon, who were too difficult to control, also fought against the gods using different weapons. Although a large number of demon legions surged towards Leng Yan, the seventy-two pillars, representing the highest level of combat power, were all entangled with powerful enemies and unable to come to his aid.

"Don't underestimate humans. I can stop you just as easily." Leng Yan said coldly to the man in front of him, "I won't let you come."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Yan's body began to burn. His body was burning at a strangely low temperature, and even more strangely, a large amount of his flesh and blood were burned away at this low temperature.

"Human, is this your trump card?" Seeing Leng Yan's change, the old man thrust his trident towards Leng Yan. But what was terrifying was that this time, Leng Yan actually caught the trident with one hand.

Reverse Ice Seal! Leng Yan's last trump card, a temporary power boost gained at the cost of burning his body. Because it placed too much strain on his body, even Leng Yan couldn't care less this time. Feeling his flesh and blood being burned away, Leng Yan showed no expression. He simply grabbed the man's trident with one hand and slammed his fist, burning with blue flames, directly at the trident-wielding elder.
