Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 148 Strength Gap
"Don't worry, I'm here."

On the other side of the wilderness, Eric touched Alan's head, signaling him not to panic.

Just now, Hawke had told him all the information he knew about the Storm King through the magic crystal.

As the Storm King got further and further away from them, Alan seemed to sense some kind of instinctive warning and became a little restless.

Alan became the king of giant beasts hundreds of years ago and occupied a special terrain. His strength has been steadily improving.

However, the Storm King had already possessed strength far beyond that of ordinary behemoth kings thousands of years ago.

Compared to Alan, after becoming the king of giant beasts, he has no record of fighting with beings of the same level, and spends most of his time sleeping.

The Storm King seems to have been cruising along a certain route throughout the world of giant beasts, and he has probably experienced quite a few battles in the process.

Compared with the other party, Alan has obvious gaps in all aspects, which may be the reason why it feels fear instinctively.

"Woooo..."

Alan's voice was a little dull, the feeling of being stared at by a powerful being far superior to himself.

It never experienced this again after it achieved the restoration of its ancestral bloodline and became a true wild beast.

Today, it is the king of beasts standing at the top of the ecological chain. The sense of crisis that has disappeared for hundreds of years has come back again, making Alan feel very uncomfortable.

"coming."

Without giving them much time to prepare, a huge storm with a diameter of tens of kilometers was moving rapidly towards where Eric and Alan were.

Looking at the huge storm in the distance, Eric's pupils suddenly shrank.

"No wonder it's said that every time it appears, it's a huge disaster. It's truly a moving natural disaster."

Behemoths have always been known for their powerful physical strength, and there is no so-called domain among extraordinary beings.

Even a giant beast king like Alan can only form a short-term special field when he uses all his strength.

However, the Storm King who was rapidly approaching them from a distance was always surrounded by a huge storm.

Even with Eric's eyesight, he couldn't see through the storm to see the real body inside.

In a case like this, the giant storm can basically be regarded as the domain of the Storm King.

Moreover, it may not be a special domain formed by Alan's full-strength attack, but a permanent domain formed naturally.

Not to mention the behemoths that have no advantages in the spiritual and elemental realms, even among the many extraordinary people Eric has come into contact with who have embarked on the road to legend.

There are very few beings whose domains can reach the scale of that giant storm.

With such exaggerated performance in this regard, what kind of strength will the Storm King's real body have?
Eric didn't dare to underestimate it at all. He saw that the huge storm was getting closer and closer to him and Alan, and was about to completely cover them.

The great power from the future descended again, and under the influence of the power, Eric's strength was briefly elevated to another level.

At the same time, Eric and Alan were forced into the range of the giant storm.

As for the fleet, it retreated to a safe area as soon as it observed the huge storm.

"We can't observe the scene inside the storm. What should we do now?"

Hawke looked at the blurry observation screen, his tone a little anxious.

Whether observing with the naked eye or using the warship's reconnaissance magic, it is impossible to see through the giant storm and see the scene inside it.

"We haven't seen anything yet. Even if our fleet tried its best, it would be impossible for us to interfere with the fight between beings of that level."

Nils had calmed down his emotions and shook his head calmly.

"Now it's the Sky City that should be observing Eric's situation.

The life detection technology of the Sky City will definitely not be affected by the giant storm.

If Eric and Alan really can't hold on, Sky City will be able to respond as quickly as possible.

As for us, we can just quietly wait for the final result."

The result of the divination was still unclear, which gave Nils some inexplicable confidence.

After all, if the battle between the two sides was completely one-sided, such a divination result would not appear.

Hearing what Nils said, Hawke could only nod silently, looking at the giant storm in the distance, trying hard to see the scene inside it clearly.

He was not worried about the safety of Eric and Alan. After all, no matter how powerful the Storm King was, he was not a truly forbidden life.

But in the Sky City, there really are legendary extraordinary beings who can be compared with forbidden life forms.

If Eric and Alan were in danger of their lives, Sky City would not just stand by and watch them die.

Even if this would result in the loss of all the advantages accumulated previously, given the value of Eric and Alan, it is completely worth it for the legendary transcendent to take action.

But for Hawke, this battle with the giant beast king, which has been recorded many times in the Hunter Association and is even the closest to the legendary forbidden life, is just a small part of his life.

It’s a pity that I can’t witness it with my own eyes as my view is blocked by that annoying giant storm.

Just as everyone was silently watching the giant storm with a diameter of tens of kilometers, the battle inside it had quietly begun.

Even after entering the giant storm, Eric still couldn't see things clearly in the distance.

His visual range was suppressed to only a few hundred meters, and he could not detect anything or any movement farther away.

Including the desire to use mental power to explore the surroundings, which was also greatly affected.

"I don't have the majesty of a king that only the king of giant beasts possesses..."

Eric's expression was solemn, and he was a little confused.

This huge storm did not put any additional pressure on him and Alan, as if it was just an ordinary storm formed naturally.

But when Eric wanted to release the domain to expand his observation range.

He immediately felt a strong suppression. It was not like he was fighting against an ordinary domain, but rather like he was fighting against the heaven and earth itself.

Releasing a domain is already very energy-consuming, and after being suppressed like this, the consumption caused by the domain is even greater.

The visual range has only doubled from a few hundred meters, which is not of much significance.

In addition, he couldn't maintain this state for too long, so Eric gave up releasing the field.

I want to conserve my energy as much as possible to deal with the upcoming attacks.

Since the Storm King had attacked them from thousands of kilometers away, his intention was definitely not to trap them in this storm, but he would definitely take the initiative to attack. Indeed, this was indeed the case. Soon, a huge claw suddenly appeared and pressed towards Alan, completely ignoring Eric who was not far away.

Looking at the giant claws that were even bigger than his own body coming towards him, he felt the terrifying power that was difficult to resist.

Alan roared, and the energy in his body was instantly gathered in his mouth, forming a powerful attack like dragon's breath, which blasted directly towards the giant claw.

After swallowing the bead, Alan's appearance has changed a lot compared to before.

In just over a month, it began to show more and more characteristics of a dragon.

Although the appearance still looks a bit slender, it looks much more domineering than before.

After spitting out a breath of dragon, Alan's attack was not completely over yet. His dragon tail shot out like an arrow and shot directly towards the giant claw.

But Alan's eyes soon became somewhat incredible. Under its gaze, its dragon breath did not even hurt the scales of the giant claw.

The giant claw seemed to be unaffected and collided with Alan's tail again.

"Roar!"

After the tail and the giant claw collided, Alan let out a roar of pain.

Its tail was torn apart in this collision, and a large amount of scales scattered in the air and blood flowed.

Even so, the giant claw only paused slightly before pressing towards Alan again.

It was also at this time that Eric's attack came.

An extremely sharp sword energy slashed towards the giant claw, instantly hitting it, followed by a sound of metal tearing.

It was not until this time that some corresponding traces finally appeared on the huge claw.

Dense sword marks covered the giant claws, which looked somewhat shocking.

If it were an ordinary giant beast king, it would definitely be seriously injured if it took Eric's full-strength attack.

But this blow landed on the Storm King's giant claws without causing any injury to it.

Those sword marks seemed to have significant effects, but they did not achieve the effect Eric expected. They only destroyed some scales and cuticles on the giant claws, which was not even a scraping.

Looking at the raised paw that was as big as a hill, Eric's eyes became extremely solemn.

The last time he fought with Alan, he didn't use any weapons. He just relied on his fists to beat the other party without any chance of fighting back.

It wasn't because Eric wasn't good with weapons.

As a Templar, his unarmed combat power is no less than that with weapons.

But weapons represent the purest form of killing. When holding weapons, Eric can also cause greater damage to the opponent.

But he didn't expect that even though he had not held back at all, he still couldn't cause any injuries to the other party.

This is even just one of the Storm King's giant claws. Eric cannot judge the Storm King's true race based on this giant claw.

After just the first collision, Eric realized that even if he and Alan joined forces, they would never be a match for the Storm King.

There is a huge gap between the ninth-order transcendent and the legendary transcendent, so the transitional stage such as the legendary road was born.

At this stage of the legendary road, the difference in strength between individuals naturally varies from person to person.

With the help of his power, Eric can unleash strength far beyond that of ordinary legendary transcendents.

But the strength of this explosive state still has not reached the pinnacle of the legendary road.

Within the Glory Expeditionary Corps, Anna and other extraordinary people who have embarked on the road to legend have only just entered this stage and have not accumulated much.

Eric was able to use his power to briefly burst out with strength greater than theirs.

But in the Holy Angel Legion, the strength of any general is far greater than Eric in his explosive state.

Even a general who has just embarked on the road to legend can confront Eric head-on, and even suppress him in a short period of time and easily win.

Today's Storm King gave Eric a sense of oppression similar to that of some generals. He was an existence standing at the pinnacle of the legendary road.

If you want to confront a being of this level head-on, it is not enough to rely on Eric and Alan alone.

But for some reason, the opponent didn't use his full strength, which gave them a chance to catch their breath.

After being hit by Eric's sword, the giant claw paused slightly and turned over slightly.

Eric didn't know the true appearance of the Storm King in the storm, but from this action, it seemed that the other party was checking the traces left by his sword.

Soon, the giant claws attacked Alan again.

This time, Eric no longer tried to cause any effective damage to the opponent, but just tried his best to stop the attack of the giant claw.

He didn't know why the Storm King was so obsessed with Alan, but didn't attack with all his strength and ignored his attacks.

But his intuition reminded him that he must not let Alan fall into the hands of the other party.

Although Eric's strength is far inferior to that of the Storm King, he can still barely block his attack when the opponent does not attack with all his strength.

As time went by, Eric's physical strength was on the verge of limit, and Alan was covered with wounds.

The Storm King seemed a little impatient. This time, his huge claws did not attack Alan, but slapped Eric directly.

A force far more powerful than before erupted. Even with all his strength in defense, Eric still couldn't withstand it and was knocked heavily to the ground.

"No, I really can't take it anymore."

Eric originally wanted to rely on himself to repel the Storm King, but now it seems that he can't do it.

Without any hesitation, he took out the magic crystal and submitted a request for firepower assistance to the Sky City.

The next moment, countless powerful magics penetrated the storm and hit the Storm King.

The Sky City did not hold back at all and directly output firepower at maximum power.

Under such intensive and powerful magical bombardment, even the Storm King roared in pain.

Under Eric's surprised gaze, the Storm King endured a round of bombardment.

He simply gave up attacking Alan and walked away.

Looking at the huge storm that was getting farther and farther away from him, Eric was silent for a moment. He really couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking.
