Chapter 990 - 434: Ecology_2
Sure, here’s the translation:
And these shells are clearly just the cheapest kinetic shells, without any kind of terminal guidance technology, and they’ve even traveled such a long distance, yet the landing points are mind-bogglingly precise. Either they directly attack the Blood Demon Giants, hit the densely packed Blood Demon areas, or target the areas with the greatest defensive pressure, almost making each shell deliver maximum value!
After several volleys, there are almost no Blood Demon Giants left standing, and the entire front line of the Blood Demon advance has been blasted to pieces, utterly collapsing!
This is Zhou Yanyang’s artillery talent, combined with Aurora’s precise control, and the terrifying power achieved through the collaboration of both Heroic Spirit Mechanicians!
"Hahahaha, what a thrill!"
In the control room, Zhou Yanyang yelled excitedly, while Aurora calmly manipulated in the air, continuously using detection radar to lock onto high-value targets.
"Don’t get too excited; there are still plenty of Blood Demon Giants among the main forces behind," Aurora reminded.
"Heh, my Titan Giant Mechanism is far from unleashing its full firepower," Zhou Yanyang licked his lips, "I’m just waiting for their main forces to attack..."
"It’s my Titan Giant Mechanism," Aurora corrected, "and although we have plenty of ammunition, we mustn’t waste it; every shell should offer its due value."
"Got it, got it," Zhou Yanyang waved nonchalantly, then suddenly remembered something and said, "But the enemy shouldn’t just let our big guns keep firing forever."
"Is the defense of our control room solid enough? I don’t want to suddenly get cut down by some Demigod appearing out of nowhere."
Aurora glanced at him: "That’s nothing you need to worry about; with the Titan Giant Mechanism’s precise detection radar, plus this is the core area of Mr. Chen’s Civilization Domain, even Demigods skilled in stealth would find it hard to slip through his perception."
"Of course I know that, I’m just saying..." Zhou Yanyang extended his finger, secretly pointing downward.
Aurora: "...You can speak plainly."
Zhou Yanyang rolled his eyes, looked at Aurora, and lowered his voice: "I’m talking about the internal traitor, the traitor!"
"You don’t say you didn’t hear anything before coming here? This decisive battle, the enemy’s leader is the Main God’s Envoy! Although the Envoy won’t participate in the battle, with the energy a Main God Envoy possesses, it’s quite easy to sway those Outer Realm Demons, and you know, we’ve long been infiltrated by those Outer Realm Demons like a sieve..."
Aurora: "...Is that so?"
Zhou Yanyang widened his eyes: "You, you really didn’t hear? Oh, how can you take on a mission so recklessly without gathering any intelligence?"
"By the way, where are you from? A Mechanician as powerful as you, I should have heard about even if you’re from abroad."
"..." Aurora didn’t answer and instead said, "Don’t worry, I’ve already closed all three main doors of the control room; even if a Demigod Powerhouse suddenly attacks, we have at least 0.3 seconds of warning time."
"And... I trust Mr. Chen will be well prepared."
As these words fell, Zhou Yanyang curiously glanced at Aurora: "You sound familiar with Chen, speaking of which, does he really possess Demigod power? That should be an exaggerated rumor, right?"
Aurora was about to reply when suddenly her eyes narrowed, and Zhou Yanyang’s heart also moved, focusing on the radar information.
On the front line radar, suddenly appeared over a hundred abnormal flashing points, more than a hundred Awakened fighters had been long prepared!
These Awakened fighters organized into teams, launched a swift assault in coordination with the Tree Palace, swiftly beheading the invading Blood Demon followers, and wasted no time, using evacuation plants to relocate entirely out of sight.
Zhou Yanyang exclaimed: "Sending Awakened fighters for close combat? Such a bold decision; if a few High Tier Blood Demons mixed in, the losses would be severe."
"That’s why I said you don’t need to worry about these," Aurora remarked indifferently, "Mr. Chen’s Civilization Domain has completely covered the battlefield. Since he’s sent Awakened fighters to battle, he must be adequately confident."
These words made Zhou Yanyang’s eyes widen in surprise.
What exactly has Chen Ce done to inspire such unwavering dedication and confidence from such a powerful Heroic Spirit Mechanician?
It’s worth noting that Mechanicians like them hold statuses not inferior to ordinary Demigods!
"Stop staring; a new wave of attacks is coming."
Aurora’s voice pulled Zhou Yanyang’s thoughts back; he stopped pondering and turned to enhance the firepower on the Titan Giant Mechanism with additional shells.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Traces of shells filled the sky, a fiery orange hue spreading across like the heavens were ablaze.
Another fifteen minutes later, the front line was littered with Blood Demon corpses, and the outermost tree walls had finally sustained severe damage.
Chu Xiu hovered above the Titan Giant Mechanism, eyes slightly closed, using the sensing of the Civilization Domain, the entire battlefield within his perception.
The breach of the outermost tree walls was unsurprising, given the sheer numbers in the Blood Demon army, every one with at least Warrior Tier strength, and their blood was highly corrosive, inevitably causing damage.
This thin layer was hardly significant; beyond it lied a labyrinthine maze and thirteen more tall and solid tree walls.
In reality, this tree wall had far exceeded Chu Xiu’s expectations.
"These guys consumed more than three times the expected Blood Demons to finally break through the outer tree wall..."
"What’s going on, are Blood Demons poor strategists? Just blindly charging in?"
Chu Xiu puzzledly touched his chin.
𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
He immediately dismissed this thought; Blood Demons couldn’t be brainless creatures. In Aurora’s Ancient Trials, even Blood Demons that were less than Heroic Spirits knew to specialize their characteristics into various types, like burrowing and flying Blood Demons, breaking human defenses.
Chu Xiu was certain that within that endless army, those specialized Blood Demons must exist.
Not to mention, the sky teemed with flying Blood Demons, any random charge of millions would ease the battle amazingly.
After all, since ancient times, anti-aircraft has been a huge challenge.
"Could it be they look down on these Low Tier Blood Demons? Not caring about the losses?"
Just as Chu Xiu pondered silently, Zhao Jie’s voice suddenly echoed in his ear: "Brother Chu, look at those fallen giants!"
Chu Xiu froze, recalling Zhao Jie’s talent was the extremely abnormal [Eye of Past and Future (SSS)], although only a Heroic Spirit, possessed incredible observation abilities, quickly looked at those giants.
These Blood Demon Giants after artillery baptism, their bodies were already severely damaged, laying prone on the ground, blood continuously gushing out from their massive forms.
"Huh?"
But then, after Zhao Jie’s reminder, Chu Xiu also noticed the anomaly.
The several hundred-meter-tall bodies of the Blood Demon Giants, with wounds having radii of more than ten meters, logically speaking, the blood flowing out should form a small lake, but surprisingly no blood was visible beneath any Blood Demon Giant; all the blood was absorbed by the soil!
"This is..."
"An ecosystem," Zhao Jie squinted, "They’re creating an ecosystem."
Zhao Jie’s words left Chu Xiu with a contemplative expression.
He recalled in the Ancient Trials, those Blood Demons eventually excavated many hundreds of kilometers-long channels, drawing in the distant Sea of Blood, granting all Blood Demons greatly enhanced attributes and Life Force in those seas.
"Brother Zhao, please elaborate," Chu Xiu said.
"An ecosystem is the core route for all biological civilization development, simply put, a composite survival environment integrating biology and natural surroundings," Zhao Jie’s expression unknowingly turned solemn, "Creatures are easily killed and destroyed, but ecosystems are exceedingly difficult to defeat!"
"I’ll give you an example, based on your Corpse Demon World. Suppose there was a day when a hundred billion Corpse Demons invaded our Blue Star, though numerous, they’re not really a troublesome force to clear up."
"But if the Corpse Demon virus merges into the air, there’s a chance of random infection for everyone, humans would suffer severe losses, even extinction isn’t impossible."
"We, the powerhouses, can easily kill billions of Corpse Demons, but cannot stop the spread of the Corpse Demon virus across the world, that’s the power of ecosystems!"
"Your Titan Giant Mechanism can pulverize these Blood Demons into fragments, but can it stop the airborne virus spreading?"
Zhao Jie’s words enlightened Chu Xiu; looking again at the front line, unnoticeably, all of the land had turned dark red like soaked in blood.
Under the embrace of dark red soil, the remaining undamaged tree walls seemed like they were undergoing corrosion, gradually withering and decaying!
