Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent
Chapter 19 The Tricks of Fate, Zhang Tian's Helplessness
The atmosphere inside the virtual meeting room was so oppressive it was almost frozen.
Hong, Lei Shen, Lu Yun, Luo Feng... all the powerful figures at the level of councilors on Earth were represented by their projections, and each of them wore an unprecedented solemn expression.
"The casualty report has been released."
Sitting in the main seat, Hong was also filled with grief. "In just the last half hour, more than 3.3 million soldiers have died on the global front, and the number of civilian deaths is incalculable."
Thor slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Is there really no way to deal with that beast?!"
No one answered.
Silence is the most desperate answer at this moment.
After a long while, Hong slowly stood up. He looked around at everyone in the conference room, his gaze finally landing on Thor, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.
"There's one last way."
Everyone looked up at Hong.
"Thor and I will unleash our strongest attack," Hong said in an eerily calm tone. "Perhaps... we can put up a fight against it."
"flood!"
"speaker!"
"No!"
Everyone voiced their opposition.
The First and Second Speakers are the last pillars of humanity's spirit; if they fall, humanity's will collapses!
Thor grinned, stood next to Hong, and patted his chest: "Damn it! After being so frustrated for so long, it was worth it to have a good fight with this beast! It's better than watching our home be destroyed!"
The two stood side by side, their heroic spirit of "I will go even if there are thousands of people against me" enveloping the entire venue.
At the height of this despair and tragedy, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait a moment!"
It's Luo Feng.
He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed intently on Hong and Thor. "Speaker, we... perhaps still have a chance!"
"I've acquired a B6-class laser cannon!"
The next second, it instantly boiled over!
"A B6-class laser cannon?!"
"My God! A relic weapon?"
"That power...that power could definitely cripple it!"
A flame of hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes.
"That's right!" Luo Feng nodded emphatically. "I'm 100% confident that one shot will blow its head off and kill it completely!"
"Very good!"
"We're saved!"
"Humanity is saved!"
Cheers erupted one after another, and the long-suppressed emotions finally burst forth.
However, amidst this jubilation, Lu Yun frowned and remained silent.
Luo Feng noticed his expression and a thought struck him.
"Master, what's wrong? Do you think there's a problem?" Luo Feng's voice rang in Lu Yun's ears.
Lu Yun looked at Luo Feng and said in a deep voice, "Luo Feng, I have no doubt about the power of the B6-level laser cannon. But are you really sure it can kill with a single blow?"
"Of course!" Luo Feng said confidently, "With the power of a B6-level beast, no matter how hard its head is, it absolutely can't withstand it!"
"What if?"
"Everything about the Devouring Beast is unknown to us. What if its skull is the strongest part of its body? What if it has some special energy defense mechanism... The laser cannon's attack is linear."
Once it avoids our vital points, or fails to penetrate us in one strike, we will never have a second chance.
Luo Feng's smile gradually faded, and he had to admit that Lu Yun was right.
This was indeed a high-stakes gamble.
Lu Yun stopped chatting with him privately and stood up directly. His gaze swept across the entire room and finally settled on Hong and Lei Shen.
"First Speaker, Second Speaker."
"Luo Feng's laser cannon is our only chance, our last chance, and we absolutely cannot afford to lose it."
Hong and Lei Shen nodded solemnly.
Lu Yun continued, "The laser cannon needs time to charge and fire, and the Devouring Beast won't give us that time."
Therefore, I suggest we immediately head to the laser cannon and, at all costs, shield it from the Devouring Beast's attack!
Finally, Lu Yun turned his gaze to Luo Feng and said:
"Luo Feng".
"listen to me."
"When you launch it later, don't aim at the Devourer's head."
Luo Feng was taken aback: "Not aiming for the head?"
"Yes." Lu Yun's eyes were firm. "Aim at that single horn on its head!"
"All of its attacks seem to be related to that horn, which is very likely its energy core or weakness."
Luo Feng's pupils contracted sharply; he instantly understood Lu Yun's intention.
He looked into Lu Yun's calm eyes and nodded solemnly.
"Okay, I understand."
Hong remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the members of Congress, before finally nodding solemnly: "Lu Yun is right, we only have one chance."
He stood up, his aura as imposing as a mountain. "Thor and I will go to the laser cannon position immediately. Before the shells are fired, we will shield Luo Feng from all of that beast's attacks."
"Speaker, we'll go with you!" Several councilors immediately volunteered.
"No need." Hong's tone left no room for argument. "Your task is to defend your territory, stabilize the front line, and await the outcome."
Thor strode over to Hong, grinning, "Anyone else would be a burden. Old Hong and I are enough!"
Before they finished speaking, the two disappeared from the virtual conference room.
……
"Energy charged to 80%...90%..."
"Target locked: The Golden Horned Beast!"
The cold, electronic voices echoed simultaneously in the base and the parliamentary meeting room.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the energy bar on the screen, which represented humanity's last hope.
……
"100% energy, launch ready!"
"Luo Feng, you can launch!"
Luo Feng exerted all his strength, roaring as he pressed the red button: "Launch!"
Om-!
A white beam of light, tearing through the heavens and earth, shot straight at the menacing horn with a speed beyond comprehension.
Countless people around the world held their breath as they watched this divine light of punishment.
However, just as the beam of light was about to hit the unicorn, its trajectory showed a barely perceptible deflection, as if it had been gently pushed away by an invisible force.
puff!
The white beam of light shifted slightly downwards and pierced through the belly of the golden-horned behemoth, leaving a terrifying hole that was completely exposed from front to back.
Dark green blood and shattered internal organs poured out like a torrential rain.
"roar……!"
The golden-horned behemoth let out an unprecedentedly painful cry, its mountain-like body crashing to its knees, causing the earth to tremble violently.
After a brief period of deathly silence, a global frenzy erupted.
"We won! We won!"
The lawmakers embraced and wept, while the survivors rushed into the streets, expressing their joy at surviving the ordeal.
Amidst this sea of ecstasy, only Lu Yun remained with a furrowed brow, his gaze fixed intently on the giant beast on the screen, heavily wounded and lying on the ground, yet still clinging to life.
He had only one thought in his mind:
"Something's not right. That deflection just now... was definitely not accidental."
Just as the world was cheering, on the screen, the heavily wounded and fallen golden-horned behemoth suddenly let out a deafening roar!
The dark green blood flowed back at a visible speed, and the huge hole in the abdomen was rapidly healing!
It actually stood up again!
Lu Yun stared intently at the golden-horned behemoth that began to slowly writhe on the screen, his pupils shrinking sharply.
"Something's not right... This golden-horned behemoth's vitality is strangely strong. And that deflection just now... its current state is even stronger than in my memory of the original story."
The Golden Horned Beast was in a better state than when it was 'near death' after being bombarded by the laser cannon!
"What the hell?"
The golden-horned behemoth suddenly stood up, its pair of savage golden eyes fixed on the laser cannon position, and its massive body transformed into a blur as it pounced straight towards it!
"You beast! Don't even think about it!"
Hong and Thor were already poised to strike, and like two streaks of light, they met the golden-horned beast without hesitation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three figures collided violently in mid-air, and the terrifying shockwave tore the earth apart.
Hong's domain, along with Thor's domain, tightly bound the raging golden-horned behemoth.
"Luo Feng! One more shot!" Hong roared during the fierce fight.
After a short period of charging.
Energy full!
Luo Feng's eyes were bloodshot. He quickly adjusted the cannon's muzzle and roared, "Charge! Fire!"
Om-!
Another white beam of light, tearing through the heavens and earth, slashed through the sky and crashed down on the entangled golden-horned beast.
Roar!
The golden-horned behemoth let out a shrill scream. It didn't have time to completely dodge, and the beam of light pierced its right wing!
This time, the Golden Horned Beast was truly severely injured.
Realizing the danger, it ceased its fight, broke free from Hong and Leishen's grasp, and plunged headlong into the vast depths of the Pacific Ocean at astonishing speed.
"Chase!" Thor wanted to give chase.
"Wait!" Hong stopped him. "It's gone into the deep sea. The laser cannon... can't work on the seabed."
The world has fallen silent once again.
At this moment, the ray of hope was shrouded in another shadow.
...
Just then, Hong and Thor exchanged a glance.
Without a word, the two strongest beings on Earth understood each other's intentions in that instant.
"Let's go." Hong's voice contained an unwavering determination.
"Hey, it should have been done a long time ago!" Thor grinned, a hint of madness in his smile. "Killing it in the sea would be a legendary tale!"
Before the words were even finished, their projections vanished instantly.
Meanwhile, at the distant laser cannon position, two figures transformed into streaks of light and plunged headlong into the unfathomable Pacific Ocean without hesitation!
They were going to hunt down that Devouring Beast!
...
Inside the virtual meeting room of the Global Strongest Council, as Hong and Thor disappeared, only a deathly silence remained.
This scene was clearly presented to every survivor around the world via satellite signal.
Everyone held their breath.
……
Rumble~~~
The Pacific Ocean, which had been calm for only a moment, suddenly erupted with towering columns of water!
Immediately afterwards, the entire sea seemed to boil, churning violently.
Inside the parliamentary meeting room, all the members, including Luo Feng and Lu Yun, stared intently at the images transmitted back on the screen.
"Life detection signal... The life signals of the First Speaker and the Second Speaker are rapidly weakening!" A technician's voice rang out, trembling with tears.
"boom!"
Another explosion, more terrifying than any before, occurred deep in the ocean. Satellite images showed a huge bulge of water rising from that area before returning to complete calm.
The signal was interrupted.
The life signals belonging to Hong and Lei Shen were also interrupted!
died?
Have humanity's last two pillars fallen?
This thought, like a black lightning bolt, struck the soul of everyone.
"No...impossible!"
"speaker!"
Inside the virtual conference room, a chorus of lamentations erupted.
"It's not over yet!"
"Silver Guards, go!"
The sea exploded, and the silver streak shot into the sky, hovering in mid-air. Within its mechanical arms, it protected two figures whose auras were so faint as to be almost imperceptible.
It is Hong and Lei Shen.
They...are still alive!
"Quick! Bring him back!"
"Highest level of medical care prepared!"
Just then, a technician in charge of monitoring shouted in a trembling voice, "The detector has results! The Golden Horned Beast... the Golden Horned Beast's life signal has also weakened to its limit, like a candle flickering in the wind!"
This news was a real breath of fresh air for everyone!
Both sides suffer heavy losses!
This is the best result!
Hong and Thor risked their lives and finally dragged the monster to the brink of death!
However, the technician's next words completely extinguished this newly ignited flame of hope.
"but……"
"It's still alive."
still alive.
The two strongest pillars of humanity, a struggle that comes at the cost of life.
The B6-class laser cannon, with its most advanced technology, was severely damaged twice in succession.
even so……
It is still alive.
There was no more sound in the conference room.
