CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 401: THE CHILD OF REVERSE INCUBATION

"For the Empire!"

"We absolutely cannot let the egg hatch!"

"The invaders have already been defeated, everyone hold on."

"The battlefield at the Shelter has also secured victory. As long as we destroy this egg, we can end this battle."

"Victory for Zenith!"

On the plaza one hundred meters in front of the stone egg.

The Imperial Army’s assault was fierce, directly breaking through the invaders’ last line of defense.

The overwhelming army, under the cover of the Legendary Ship and Titan, was unstoppable.

Like chopping vegetables, they charged into the fragile army of the invaders, slaughtering everywhere.

Everyone was killing with bloodshot eyes.

"Kill those priests!!"

Someone shouted suddenly.

The soldiers suddenly snapped back to reality.

The Blood Knights led the charge; among the crowd, their bright red, radiant Spiritual Armor was the most striking symbol.

Each Blood Knight squad was the most terrifying war machine.

They were the first to rush into the plaza, wielding various bizarre-shaped weapons, crazily hacking at the endless invaders.

However.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

Even as they watched their companions and kinsmen being slaughtered, these endless invaders remained seated, chanting strange incantations with fervent expressions.

Upon closer inspection.

Their Blood Qi and spirit were already depleted.

Only a special power was supporting them to sit here, holding on to their last breath, continuously chanting.

The cracks on the stone egg grew larger and larger.

By now, the Blood Knight Order understood there was basically no way back.

If they didn’t stop this thing, everyone would die together.

"Kill!"

A deep, iron-like shout rang out.

The Imperial Army followed the Blood Knights, continuously slaughtering these chanting invaders.

But clearly.

This did not stop the egg from hatching.

The cracks on the stone egg grew larger and larger, and those who approached were affected by the eerie atmosphere emitted by the egg, unable to suppress their body’s pollution level.

Crack...

As the first piece of stone shell broke open.

Gray-black light burst from inside the stone egg.

"Retreat!"

Shangguan Zi’s voice came from the Legendary Ship.

The Imperial Army retreated quickly, and then an energy light cannon covered the giant egg behind them.

The blinding explosion obscured everything.

Boom!

After the explosion, countless shards shot out, scattering in all directions.

These shards, once they hit the ground.

Turned into monsters with four arms and four legs, screaming as they attacked the Imperial Army.

These monsters were numerous and had a strong desire to attack.

The crowd was in chaos for a moment.

But Shangguan Zi, Sakura, and Yuwen Ba were not focused on this.

Instead, their attention was on the massive entity rising from the dust after the explosion.

This too was a monster with four arms and four legs.

It stood a hundred meters tall, with five curved horns on its head, with black flames spewing from the horn tips, its limbs and arms bulging with veins, like old tree roots lying dormant.

Its abdomen had countless human heads, deeply embedded in flesh, each head emitting cries of agony.

Just the screams from these heads rapidly increased the pollution level of those nearby, even causing signs of mutation on their bodies.

Its four legs.

Like cow hooves, stomped on the ground, each step forming a pit with a diameter of several dozen meters.

Everyone was terrified.

There were no records of a monster like this in the Empire.

Indeed.

The most frightening part was the constant evil and twisted power it emitted.

The surrounding Imperial soldiers were already affected by these powers, taking off their mechanical armor and scratching their skin.

In a short time.

Their skin rotted extensively.

The creature from the egg emerged, causing devastating damage to the Imperial Army.

The blood rain in the sky kept falling.

Dark clouds covered everywhere.

Not a single ray of sunshine.

After a brief pause, the monster began slaughtering all living creatures around, feeding on flesh and blood.

Clearly, it had not fully hatched.

It needed a large amount of postnatal nourishment.

This was its instinct.

Boom!

As the monster rampaged, a gigantic mechanical titan blocked its path.

Steam and Mechanical Church’s Titan!

The two monsters fought each other.

One made of machinery, the other composed of twisted flesh and tumors.

The entire city watched this epic battle.

This was a fight deciding everyone’s destiny.

If no one could stop this monster, whatever happens next, Zenith City absolutely cannot escape.

However.

Soon the outcome made everyone’s heart sink.

Steam and Mechanical Church’s Titan only lasted less than ten seconds before being dismantled by the monster.

All its parts.

Were devoured by the heads embedded in its flesh on its abdomen.

A one-sided massacre.

The monster’s power had surpassed the mere level of Blood Qi and spirituality, with every move containing divine might.

"Retreat, everyone retreat, set up the Defense Spirit Array, first stop its advance."

Shangguan Zi issued a command on the Legendary Ship.

Beside her.

Bishop Sakura’s face was pale, murmuring: "This monster bears power from the deity, not just simple divine techniques.

If we don’t stop it, allowing it to keep growing, it may eventually pull out its true Evil God behind it.

Zenith City cannot withstand the descent of an Evil God."

Yuwen Ba frowned deeply.

Everyone wanted to stop it, but no one had a way to stop it, this was reality.

At this moment.

Not to mention the soldiers below, even these powerful leaders began to feel despair growing in their hearts.

...

"It’s over."

In Black Abyss City.

Zi Luo sneered, staring at the image in the hall’s Water Mirror, shaking his head.

Since the Reversed Hatchling was summoned, Zenith City’s fate had already been sealed.

No one could block the attack of such an offspring of an Evil God.

As for the Shelter.

Black Abyss City only needed to tie up the Shelter’s forces, leaving them no way to assist.

By then.

The Reversed Hatchling would have grown enough to trigger the true Reversed Hatch Egg within the Aurora.

The birth of an Evil God.

The spectacle at that time would surely be magnificent.

Behind Zi Luo.

The leaders of the Ghost-faced Race and Endless Race respectfully stood, along with several Demon Envoys from Wumian Mansion.

Demon Race.

Held the largest power among the three races.

Thus Zi Luo’s status was the highest among those present, and more importantly, he led the initiation of this war.

Ingeniously seizing the opportunity when Black Abyss City was attacked by an unknown Legendary Ship.

Indeed.

Looking now, the war’s effect was remarkable.

Although the three races suffered heavily, Zenith City had been destroyed to a great extent, and more importantly, the offspring of the Evil God was summoned.

This gave them hope of capturing Zenith City.

However.

Just when everyone was rejoicing.

A flash of sword light like thunder appeared in the Water Mirror image, carrying the might of destruction, striking the Reversed Hatchling.

Everyone’s expressions froze.

That sword light.

Also harnessed a power from the deity!
