Star Forge Titan

In this way, Atalanta's attack routes were limited to a handful of options.

Even so, the frantic Atalanta from Ghost in the Shell did not hesitate at all. She burst out with all her strength and reached the highest speed. She could no longer stop, and there was no need to stop!

Crescent-curved monomolecular blades slashed simultaneously from both sides, their surfaces ablaze with dazzling magical brilliance, infused to the utmost with magical energy. Combined with the immense kinetic energy brought by the supersonic charge, this strike could cleave even a mountain of metal in half!!!

The light is recast!

As the thought flashed through his mind, Ivan's right hand was covered with a layer of pure white armor. As he became more and more proficient in the abilities of the Ash Knight, he could already summon armor partially like this.

The iron fist covered in pure white armor was like a loaded cannon, aimed at Atalanta, the Ghost in the Shell whose movement was restricted.

The next second will determine victory or defeat!

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky between the two sides.

who is it?

Despite their doubts, at this moment, neither Atalanta nor Ivan could stop their attacks.

Two attacks landed simultaneously on the figure that broke into the battlefield. Combining the power of Ghost in the Shell and the Titan Descendants, even a piece of pure steel would be smashed to pieces.

But the actual result was extremely unexpected. The figure actually took the attacks from both sides at the same time!

Who the hell is he!?!

Chapter 83: The Sword of Determination

The powerful impact caused by the collision of the two attacks caused the terrain that Alvin temporarily reshaped to collapse.

In the smoke and dust, the figure who was under attack from both sides slowly stood up, and it seemed as if he was not affected much.

This made Alvin squint his eyes, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his pupils surrounded by golden radiation.

He was well aware of how powerful his punch was, and the slash from Ghost in the Shell, emanating an ominous magical energy, couldn't be light either.

So, how powerful is the intruder who has absorbed at least 90% of the power of two attacks?

Is there a more advanced combat unit in the Hive than Ghost in the Shell?

As his thoughts turned, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the figure revealed from it made Ivan look surprised.

The person who came was actually Hercules! The Ghost in the Shell who also has an ancient name!

How could it be him?

Ivan, who had fought with the opponent, remembered that Hercules at that time was at the level of an ordinary high-level transcendent except for his strength, and did not show much amazing strength.

But if Hercules only had that level of strength, there was no way he could withstand the double attack from himself and Atalanta at the same time.

"Could it be that his best skill is not strength but defense?" While whispering, Alvin quickly discovered the difference.

Originally, Hercules had a bright red outer shell, but now he had an additional piece of purple metal armor with silver edges.

The armor fits Ghost in the Shell's shell perfectly and emits extremely violent magical fluctuations. The magic runes engraved on the silver edge are ancient and different from any mainstream runes today.

This is most likely a magic armor forged during the Giant Kingdom period. The technology used in it is extremely ancient and powerful, and is in no way inferior to the legendary magic armor made in this era.

In the material world, there are three levels of magical creations: ordinary, uncommon, and rare. All countries have the ability to mass-produce the first two, while the rare level is relatively troublesome, but there is also a complete manufacturing process.

However, higher-level legendary magical creations, even in the upper planes where the gods' followers live, require very rare materials, the most advanced technology, and a bit of luck. Only when these three conditions are met can they be successful.

Although it is unclear whether the ancient Giant Kingdom mastered the technology to manufacture legendary magic equipment, it is obvious that in that era, legendary equipment was also very advanced and powerful, and often only the truly strong were qualified to use it.

At this moment, in addition to this set of magic armor from the ancient giant kingdom, Hercules also holds a huge sword with an ancient shape in his hand.

The blade of this giant sword is two palms wide. The material used to cast this sword is not entirely metal. Except for the blade, the rest of the sword is made of a solid material similar to the shells of insects and beasts. In addition, the tough tendons vaguely visible in the gaps make the whole sword look as strange as if it is still breathing.

Is this a living giant sword?

Alvin thought in surprise, and then realized that there was a powerful magical fluctuation coming from it, and it was actually a legendary magical creation.

Hell, does every Ghost in the Shell character have a complete set of legendary magic equipment? That would be really troublesome!

Just now, Hercules used this sword to block Atalanta's attack, and the slightly deformed armor on his chest obviously also blocked Ivan's attack.

His guard grew higher and higher. Beside the black-haired boy, there appeared signs of the opening of the lepton space. A black vortex rotated in an orderly manner, from which emerged the golden guard and hilt of Burning Justice, which were carved into the shape of a giant dragon, and another bloody handle of the Annihilation Axe Karlbant, which was ready to move.

But unexpectedly, Hercules turned his back to Ivan very decisively, exposing his back to him without any protection.

At this moment, the Ghost in the Shell was looking at Atalanta with a sad look as she kept growling in the distance.

"Used the blood of Ares?" Seeing the ominous magic wrapped around the other party, the fully armed Hercules couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"You use your magic so roughly, you fight like a beast. Even though you've forgotten how to use the moon bow you've grown so close to, you're still so obsessed with it. Is this the pride of a hunter?"

His tone was particularly sad, yet with a hint of relief.

"Unfortunately, today I must become enemies with my compatriots." Hercules' voice turned firm.

After inserting the giant sword into the ground, he suddenly turned around and knelt on one knee towards Ivan.

"Lord."

"I have awakened from a thousand years of confusion."

"..." Alvin did not answer immediately. He certainly would not believe such a one-sided statement.

"Continue forward through the rear exit and you'll reach the delivery room at the deepest part of the hive. Your captured companions are there, and that's also where the Hive Mother resides."

"The current insect mother of our clan has fallen into complete madness and is almost no longer lucid. She is unable to continue to cleanse the remaining pure color poison through generational changes, nor can she make correct judgments."

"If it's impossible, then..."

Despite his exceptionally tall stature, Hercules' voice was filled with sobs when he spoke of this.

"Please grant me your final mercy!"

Having experienced the memories of the frost giant Arcade, Alvin naturally understood what the so-called last mercy meant in the Uranus civilization and the ancient giant kingdom that inherited their culture.

Killing the Zerg Queen, to a certain extent, means destroying the future of the entire Zerg race.

These words made him begin to believe the Ghost in the Shell in front of him.

"Traitor!" Atalanta, whose eyes were dark and cloudy not far away, issued a very sharp rebuke.

"Rebel!" Another curse came from the rear passage. The voice also sounded familiar. It was Perseus from Ghost in the Shell who had been defeated by Alvin before.

At this moment, it has replaced its right arm with a silver mechanical prosthesis made entirely of metal.

Perhaps due to its age, the surface armor of the mechanical prosthesis is not complete, and through the damaged parts you can see the precision parts running continuously inside.

But the magical fluctuations emitted from it are not weak at all. Even if it has not reached the level of legendary magic equipment, it is not inferior to any rare high-level magic equipment.

Mechanized equipment that combines magical technology and power...

The value of this place may be more amazing than you think.

In other words, the Giant Kingdom's heritage is truly exaggerated.

While Alvin was thinking this, the three Ghost in the Shell soldiers had already started fighting.

The sharp blade that emerged from the inside of Atalanta's wrist was swung continuously, and Perseus' mechanical prosthesis transformed into a spear and stabbed continuously.

But unexpectedly, Hercules, who was alone, was not at all inferior to his colleagues Perseus and Atalanta.

The magic armor on its body easily blocked the attacks of the two people. Although the giant sword in its hand did not directly chop at the vital parts, it mercilessly left hideous wounds on the two colleagues.

However, Ghost in the Shell's self-repair ability is far more amazing than that of ordinary Shell Knights, allowing these seemingly hideous injuries to heal quickly at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In a short period of time, it is difficult for both sides to determine the winner.

Obviously, he underestimated the true strength of these Ghost in the Shell characters, or their full strength in their normal state.

You know, although rough magic filling can also increase the power of attack, it can't be considered a skill. At best, it is not much different from the instinct of wild magical beasts.

Only by constructing magic power in an orderly manner with precision, complexity and efficiency can a stronger effect be achieved, and that is true magic.

Although he couldn't completely trust Hercules who claimed to have woken up, Ivan had very limited time and didn't intend to stop.

He began to rush towards the exit of the passage at the back of the branch room.

"Stop!" Despite being in a frenzy, when the Bug Queen was threatened, Atalanta and Perseus still tried their best to stop Ivan from leaving.

"Your opponent is me!"

Hercules waved the giant sword in his hand to stop the two. The armor on his body made a disturbing twisting sound under the latter's violent attack, but he did not retreat even a step.

The King’s mercy, the final mercy.

Even if we perish, it is better than becoming a slave of the enemy!

A bright red light, like weeping blood, appeared in Hercules' compound eyes.

No one knows the sorrow in his heart, but the sword in his hand has no hesitation!

Chapter 84: Sacrificial Psalms

The sound of fighting behind him became louder and louder, and Ivan's pace kept getting faster and faster.

Why the Ghost in the Shell named Hercules could return to normal? This puzzled him.

However, Alvin's brain was good enough to immediately think of the abilities he used when fighting the opponent.

If he remembered correctly, the light-forged armor on his body seemed to have been broken at that time?

Although this magical armor, forged from the light of high-purity Heavenly Fire, possessed extremely high defensive power, it was not completely impenetrable. However, when the armor became damaged, it would self-repair by igniting the Flame of Life, making it particularly formidable.

Thinking carefully, when Ivan was hit by Hercules, Ghost in the Shell's powerful force did cause some damage to the Lightforged Armor, and the subsequent ignition of the Flame of Life may have produced unexpected effects?

Considering the attack bonus of the Heavenly Flame on Burning Justice on ordinary insect beasts, and combining information from all aspects, Alvin quickly came to a conclusion.

Although the true nature of the so-called "pure color legacy" is unclear, the contamination of the insect swarm is clearly related to some kind of distortion that goes against the natural state.

So, is it possible to use the flame of one's own life to purify or even reverse this distorted pollution?

After less than a second of quick thinking, Alvin came to the conclusion that -

Worth a try!

There is no time to think about it, as the time left for the young man is running out.

Although it is uncertain whether there are any means of long-distance communication within the Zerg, since Ghost in the Shell knows his actions, the Zerg army that is searching for the so-called invaders outside may return to the hive at any time.

So, it has to be faster!

Light Reforged - Wings of Storm.

Partially summoned armor is directly manifested on the body.

The flight device, modeled after the Hurricane thruster, ignited and started, with two steel wings on each side.

Although the magic power consumption was not low, his speed was further improved to a faster level.

The whistling sound of the wind in my ears merged into one, and I could vaguely see white water vapor condensed at high speed in front of me.

The path to the delivery room at the center of the hive is naturally not smooth sailing. There are more and more enemies blocking the way, and even a team of Shell Knights composed entirely of knight-level insect beasts begins to appear.

These guys, who possessed the ability to rapidly regenerate themselves, were difficult to kill quickly unless they were struck through the vital points, thus causing Alvin a lot of trouble.

Therefore, he directly pulled out the most brutal and cruel weapon on his body, the soul-made weapon that was attached to the soul of the demon vanguard officer Karlbant, the annihilation battle axe - Nerukigate!

Previously, I used fists to fight Ghost in the Shell Atalanta in order to fight speed with speed and sneak attack with sneak attack.

Now, in order to speed up our progress, we naturally prioritize efficiency and go all out!

He raised his hand and cut through the air, and the armor was fully summoned. The metal phoenix, which was gathered with light, flew out of the light circle with a roar, and suddenly pounced on Ivan, turning into a complete pure white armor that covered his entire body.

Then, the blood-red handle of the formal spine was firmly grasped by a large hand covered in pure white armor. The two incompatible colors appeared particularly glaring, and the brass-colored chainsaw axe was pulled out from the lepton space while spinning and roaring.

"Blood! Massacre! Extinction!" Karlbant, forgetting his current appearance, stood on the axe blade and danced wildly.

The movement was wild and unrestrained, and looked a little ugly at first glance, but it was full of unparalleled power.

If it were performed by a warrior with a physique so strong that his chest muscles could dance, it might look like a war dance in an ancient ritual to worship the devil, but if it were performed by Karbant, who now looks like a white lamb, it would probably just make people laugh.

Grabbing the dancing Karlbant, Alvin pressed the lamb into the soul-made weapon with a cold face.

Just like adding a new pot of fuel, accompanied by an angry roar, the axe blade and chainsaw spun faster and faster.

At the same time, the Shell Knight team that appeared in front not only did not stay where they were, but roared into combat form.

As magic surged and flowed, the color of their shells became darker and their hardness continued to increase. Sharp, curved spines grew on their shoulders, and their long tails with short blades at the end swung, making bursts of whistling sounds.

A total of twelve knight-level insect beasts rushed towards Ivan who was flying close to the ground along the side walls and ceiling of the passage from various very tricky angles.
