Chapter 422 God of Life
By the time the High Priest screamed, it was too late.
The hunter in the shadows had already drawn his butcher's knife.
Just as the white-robed figures were drawn to the High Priest's scream, a blade suddenly emerged from the shadow of one of the white-robed figures, piercing him into a bloody mess.
It was a bizarre creature dressed entirely in a black suit, with only a gaping maw covered in fangs on its head, and its hands that could freely transform into any weapon.
Anyone who sees this monster will hesitate for a moment, a subconscious reaction of prey when facing its natural enemy. Even these beings, whose bodies have been mechanically modified, cannot quickly recover, because no one can dodge an attack from their own shadow. And most importantly, there is more than one of these monsters!
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!!"
A piercing scream, like the chirping of insects, rang out from the monster's vocal organs, instantly plunging the entire hall into chaos.
From the shadow of almost every white-robed man emerged a black-clad monster, who, seemingly devoid of reason, launched an attack on everyone around them.
The incredibly sharp blade tore through the metal tabletop in the blink of an eye, slicing the man behind it in two.
"Two-dimensional intrusion! Spread the word quickly, those guys are lurking in the shadows!"
"Help! Help me!"
"No! Your Highness the God King!!"
Several white-robed figures, having recovered from their injuries, picked up weapons and struggled to fend off the attacks of the black-clad monsters, but the others were not so fortunate.
Blood and metal parts were scattered on the ground with a crisp sound as one white-robed man after another lost his life under the black-clad monster's blade.
"High Priest, we must leave now! This place is about to be breached!"
"We must flee to the God of Life; only He can protect us!"
The High Priest stumbled and crawled backward toward the gate, shielded by the people around him. His arm had been severed in an instant, leaving him no time to react.
"That's impossible! There's no way a life form in this world could freely change its own dimensions!"
Dimensional ascension and dimensional reduction are extremely unstable in any experiment. Even if someone could survive after transforming from a three-dimensional to a two-dimensional being, they would find it difficult to immediately return to a three-dimensional state, which is impossible in science!
however.
However, these monsters before him could strangely transform themselves into a superposition of three-dimensional entities and two-dimensional shadows, and could freely switch between them to inflict damage, which was completely beyond his imagination.
...while on the other side of the Holy Royal City.
Countless intelligent machines are locked in a fierce battle with an innumerable number of black-clad monsters.
Although the attacks from the shadows were difficult to dodge, the black-clad monsters were unable to pose a fatal threat to these omnics due to their tough armor. On the other hand, while the omnics' weapons were formidable against carbon-based creatures, they were less effective against these shadows.
Aside from the molten steel sword and the quantum energy cannon, which can shatter them into pieces, other weapons are not so easy to harm the opponent. Even if those monsters are killed, it is only temporary, because before long, they will reassemble into physical form and launch attacks from the shadows.
In a moment of stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand, the battle erupted in a fierce and chaotic manner.
And in a corner of the battlefield.
A dark mass was crawling in the shadows.
"Big brother, this, this could be...?"
"That's right, it's the one you're thinking of."
"As expected, Uncle Long's Adventures is actually an autobiography. The Shadow Legion really does exist in this world!"
"6
"
Hearing Fang Xin's excited words, Tang Zijun couldn't help but feel speechless.
"...This XX is a Shadow Clan member, a low-level creature like the Dark Scum."
Since gaining control of the Shadow World, Tang Zijun has discovered that she can freely summon these minions to serve her.
Although they are called grunts, the Shadow Clan is indeed much more powerful than the Dark Scum in some ways. Although their combat strength is relatively weak, it depends on who they are compared to.
They can't compare to newly awakened magical girls, but these grunts are still a threat to ordinary people, especially to non-supernatural creatures. Ordinary agents, without carrying dark crystal weapons, simply cannot kill these monsters.
Unlike the Dark Ones, the Shadow Ones, while having similar combat strength, possess an additional ability: shadow transformation. This ability is largely ineffective against other transcendent beings, but becomes extremely troublesome when fighting omnics.
Even if the Shadow Clan can't harm the Omnics, it won't be easy for the Omnics to drive out the Shadow Clan in the short term.
It could be said that this group of Shadows was nothing more than bait used to buy time and attract attention.
But the other prisoners in the shadows don't think so.
As they watched through Tang Zijun's open perspective as the group of black-clad monsters fearlessly charged the AI time and time again, the prisoners in the shadows were instantly filled with fervor.
They were originally orphans from various planetary civilizations, and some were even the last survivors of their respective civilizations. After being captured here, their hatred for the omnics was beyond words.
Seeing the group of androids being overwhelmed by the black-clad monsters, they all wished they could don their armor and join the fight to crush those machine creatures.
Among them, Fang Xin, being one of their own, was overwhelmed with excitement.
"I never expected these Shadows to be so happy when they're on our side!"
He didn't know much about the Shadow Clan. Before the Shadow Plague broke out, his only knowledge of them came from a few sentences in the news. These guys came and went without a trace, and it was difficult to even leave behind any video footage.
"With this kind of power, we'll definitely have a chance to kill that trashy Ji Shen!"
"Don't be too happy yet. Don't forget that this place is missing. Without the replenishment of negative energy, these Shadows won't last long."
Tang Zijun spoke softly, shattering Fang Xin's unrealistic fantasies.
In fact, Tang Zijun had already realized this when she summoned this group of minions. It was one thing that there were no souls or super-generated energy in this world, but there was not even any negative energy at all.
This is understandable. If there is negative energy in this world, given the massive actions of Ji Shen, this artificial god, the negative energy from various planetary civilizations combined would probably have already given rise to a god no less powerful than the gods of Earth.
Fortunately, I have enough energy after obtaining the Shadow of Death form, so I can still fight even in this world where I can't replenish my energy.
If the energy is truly depleted...
If we really run out of steam, we can just switch to the ultimate greed form and keep going!
In the center of that towering, pale white hall.
Brilliant starlight streamed down from the dome, outlining the silhouette of a massive and majestic throne.
On the throne sat a figure draped in a white robe, its soft texture swaying gently with an invisible rhythm that defied description.
He was a man with long black hair and smooth, delicate skin that shone with a faint luster, like some kind of porcelain. Beneath his skin, one could vaguely see mechanical patterns.
Behind him, countless pipes of varying thicknesses meandered from behind his sleeves, running along the ground and climbing up the walls to the high dome. Inside the tanks flowed liquids of various colors, some resembling lava, others like the ocean.
These tubes, like the veins of life, transmit energy and data. They are the link to this pocket universe, and He is the deity who sows life in this universe—the God of Life. The God of Life has exquisite facial features, and his eyes shimmer with a deep blue light. However, his deep and mysterious gaze is now slightly uneasy.
He was already aware of the chaos outside the main hall, and he received information about the strange intrusion immediately.
But he did not take any action; he neither left his throne nor paid attention to the battles outside, as if it were a trivial matter to him.
Xiu's gaze was now completely focused on a high platform in front of her.
It's called a platform, but it only reaches shoulder height. On the platform, there is a cylindrical transparent tank, and a deformed lump of flesh floats in the liquid inside.
The chunk of flesh was constantly expanding, and after expanding to a certain point, it began to collapse and shrink back. Between these expansions and contractions, it was constantly changing its shape, and on the surface of the chunk of flesh, eyes and mouths began to appear and disappear, giving people an extremely eerie feeling.
Anyone who saw this strange object would feel uncomfortable at first, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with fervor, as if he had seen some rare treasure.
Just as the God of Life was observing the mecha-like mass of flesh before him, a humanoid silhouette slowly rose from the ground in the shadows of the hall and materialized.
The moment this unknown visitor appeared, the starlight falling from the dome dimmed considerably.
But this strange phenomenon did not elicit a response from the god of life; He simply continued to stare at the deformed mass of flesh before him, without even shifting his gaze.
Neither the God of Life nor Tang Zijun made a move. The two remained silent, one sitting and the other standing, making the atmosphere in the entire hall mysterious.
After an unknown amount of time, the God of Life's gaze finally changed. His face shifted slightly, and his gaze fell upon a figure clad in black armor not far away.
"tell me..."
Isn't it beautiful?
