The ongoing battle in City V was quickly broadcast to the forum in real time.
In the picture, Lin Xue's Death God skin was shown to the public for the first time. At the same time, information about the God's skin also spread like wildfire on the forum, causing an uproar among the posts.
The skin of God actually exists!
Moreover, the intelligence also specifically mentioned that everyone has a chance to obtain the divine skin, as long as the giant's body can be found!
After hearing the news, many people were immediately excited, and many people even wanted to go out to attack the giant immediately.
To put it bluntly, this news was actually released deliberately by someone above, in order to stimulate the people and use the bright prospects to eliminate the people's fear of giants.
It is true that giants are hunters who can easily crush humans now, but this relationship can be reversed in just a thought. With this supply and demand relationship, humans are destined to transform into hunters who hunt giants in the future.
At the same time, in the video, Lin Xue and the three giant beasts suppressed the giant and could only passively defend. It seemed that they had the upper hand. This was also the reason why many people felt at ease: the giant seemed not as powerful as they imagined.
However, Lin Xue, who was in the middle of the battle at this time, knew that it was not that easy.
The reason why they can appear to be suppressing the giants now is because there are a large number of auxiliary personnel in the rear who are constantly providing various supports. Only after four against one can they barely draw with the giants.
The problem is that her divine skin has a time limit. The more intense the battle, the faster her attributes will burn. Once her attributes bottom out and she can no longer activate the skin, what will happen next? Therefore, Lin Xue could only avoid direct conflicts as much as possible during the battle in order to extend the time of Shenpi.
The only lucky thing is that the giant in front of me is different from the giant that landed in the black hole in the Pacific Ocean. The giant over there should be from the military, have received special training, and have rich combat experience.
The giant in front of him is obviously just an ordinary person in the world of giants. He basically fights by instinct. Whether it is experience or consciousness, he is much worse than the giant on the other side. The gap between the two sides is like the difference between a special soldier and a civilian.
"Preliminary attribute estimation results: Divine power 81-92, Divine defense 74, health value: more than 250 million..."
Lin Xue's earphones sounded the information reported by the backstage staff.
"250 million..."
Lin Xue frowned when he heard this. This data is at least an eight-star creature!
Fortunately, this was on Earth and there was no star-level suppression, otherwise they would all be killed in a few rounds.
This life value is too terrifying, and the giant's sin value is actually positive, causing her evil-suppressing death knell to be unable to take effect. Lin Xue has no good solution for the time being, but to slowly consume the opponent first.
…
Somewhere in the Pacific.
The Emperor and the Blood Emperor emerged from the turbulent sea and struggled to climb to the nearest island.
The Blood Emperor poured out the seawater filled in his boots while looking around.
At this moment, the sea surface is full of various broken trees and floating corpses, including human beings, animals, and various strange beasts. They are scattered chaotically on the surrounding sea surface, rising and falling with the sea water.
"Count the casualties!"
The emperor pressed a few times on the communicator in his hand and shouted into it.
"In the current sea area, the number of people whose bracelets are missing and those whose bracelets have completely lost their life signals: 9,842 people. The number of people with weak vital signs: 24,112 people. The number of people whose physical signs are still relatively healthy: 10,420 people..." The voice of AI sounded in the communicator.
"Hey, this is really miserable..."
The Blood Emperor's eyes twitched when he heard this.
Nearly a quarter of the more than 40,000 people were directly destroyed, and more than half of the people were seriously injured. Only 10,000 people still maintained combat effectiveness...
And this is just a big move released by the giant!
“What about the damage caused by the tsunami?”
"The tsunami has affected more than 30 countries and regions along the Pacific coast. Almost all coastal cities have been reduced to rubble. The economic losses are being counted. The death toll... is impossible to estimate..."
The information reported by the AI then silenced both of them at the same time.
This is natural. This tsunami has caused such heavy casualties to elite players like them who have enough power to protect themselves, not to mention the damage to cities and civilians along the coast.
As for the actual death toll, they no longer dare to think about it, because it will definitely be a horrifying number. There is no way, life is too fragile in the face of this level of disaster.
"We must find a solution as soon as possible!"
The Blood Emperor violently hammered the rocks aside. These giants were too harmful, and they had absolutely no mercy for life on earth. If they were allowed to do whatever they wanted on earth, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But then, the Blood Emperor's face became slumped again, and he let out a long sigh.
It is said that we have to find a way, but it is not that easy. When the people were gathered together, they were almost killed by the giants. What's more, the giants are now scattered in all directions, which means that they only have a few remaining people. Scattered out, it will only get harder and harder to stop the giant.
"About this, actually, there is a way..." The emperor suddenly spoke at this time.
"Oh? What can I do?" the Blood Emperor asked hurriedly.
The emperor did not speak, but took out a mirror from his body.
The Blood Emperor took a look and realized that this should be the mirror that the emperor had used when he drove away the first giant. It was called the Mirror of Light.
"In addition to releasing blinding light, this mirror also has a more powerful hidden function." The Emperor said.
"What?"
"Create a maze."
"Maze?" The Blood Emperor was confused.
"Yes, a mirror maze built by the God of Light himself is hidden inside this mirror. However, in order to restore the maze, you need to break the mirror first and let the mirror fragments scatter in all directions. Construct a maze by manipulating light and shadow!”
The Emperor looked at the mirror in his hand, shook his head and said, "And the process of breaking the mirror is irreversible. In other words, once this ability does not work, this artifact will be wasted."
"Then, what's the use of the maze after it appears?"
The Blood Emperor asked hurriedly. At this life-and-death moment, he didn't have time to worry about the loss of a mere artifact. If he really wanted to be able to deal with giants, he would have to fill it with ten or hundreds of artifacts.
"After the maze is opened, for the duration, all creatures in it can only spin endlessly in the maze and never find the exit." Tianzi said.
"Even if it's a giant?" the Blood Emperor asked.
"Yes, even a giant, as long as he has not become a true god, cannot escape the trap of the labyrinth." The emperor nodded.
"With such a practical ability, why didn't you tell me earlier?!" The Blood Emperor was suddenly surprised.
Even if this maze has no offensive capabilities and can only trap giants but not kill them, it can at least buy enough time for humans to wait for a turnaround.
As for losing an artifact? What does this mean? At worst, everyone will raise money to make up for the losses for the emperor. Moreover, the Blood Emperor believed that the emperor would not be so small that he would not be willing to part with a divine weapon.
When the emperor heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not answer.
The Blood Emperor suddenly realized something: "Are there any other side effects of opening the maze?"
"Yes." The emperor nodded.
"What is it?"
"To summon a maze, the operator must first be recognized by the God of Light. If he is a descendant of the God of Light, there is no cost to using this ability. In theory, the target can be lost in the maze forever, but if he has not yet obtained the God of Light's Bloodline, if used forcefully, will continue to burn the user's soul. When the soul is burned out, the maze will disappear..."
"ah……"
The Blood Emperor looked at the Emperor in surprise. It must be someone recognized by the God of Light. In other words, except for those heirs of the bloodline of the God of Light who don’t know whether it exists or not, currently only the emperor, the Lord of Rising Sun City, can use it.
And the current emperor obviously hasn't had time to transform his bloodline yet, which means that in order to activate the maze, the emperor first needs to sacrifice himself...
Burning the soul is different from burning life. Between the body and soul of a life, the soul is the foundation. If the soul still exists, but the body is destroyed, there is still the possibility of repairing or transforming into an undead. But once the soul is burned out, everything will be destroyed. They are all gone, and there is no way to revive them.
"Emperor, are you planning to..." The Blood Emperor looked at the Emperor in surprise.
"This is the only way to keep the most people alive under the current circumstances." The emperor nodded calmly.
The Blood Emperor was silent. He suddenly remembered that before the giant came, he had asked the emperor: If one day, he himself became a pawn, and only by sacrificing himself could he save everyone, would he be willing to sacrifice himself?
At that time, the Blood Emperor just asked casually out of anger, but he did not expect that his words came true. It was really the emperor's turn to make such a choice.
"Didn't you ask me why you chose to come to the Pacific Ocean?" The emperor suddenly smiled and raised the magic mirror in his hand: "This is the real reason."
"Once giants really come in large numbers, this mirror may become mankind's last hope."
"However, the expansion of the Light God's Labyrinth occupies a very large area, and it needs to be carried out in a sufficiently open and sparsely populated place. The only thing that meets the conditions is the black hole in the Pacific Ocean."
After the emperor finished speaking, he shook his head and said: "Because I have never used it, I am not sure how long my soul will be enough to support the maze. In short, if I am lucky, I may be able to persist until the ghost captain returns. The rest will be left to me. He..."
"But what if Captain Ghost can't deal with these giants?" the Blood Emperor asked.
"Then there's nothing we can do. We're trying to survive in a tight spot this time. Nothing can be absolutely guaranteed. All we can do now is do our best and listen to fate."
As the emperor spoke, he put one hand against the back of the mirror, and clenched the other hand into a fist. Divine power surged in his hand, and then the two palms suddenly came together.
"Bang!"
The mirror shattered at the sound and turned into countless crystal fragments, all floating in front of the emperor.
"Go ahead."
With a wave of the emperor's hand, all the fragments suddenly turned into streams of light, scattered in all directions, scattered on the surrounding sea, and after flashing a trace of crystal light, they were hidden in turn until they disappeared completely.
The Blood Emperor couldn't help but sigh when he saw the emperor destroying an artifact so decisively, but then he remembered something and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, even if you activate the maze, how can you induce those giants to enter?" Maze? That giantess’s perception is so strong, if she were nearby, she would definitely be able to sense that it was a trap, right?”
"Don't worry, since I prepared the maze in advance, I naturally have a way to attract them." The emperor smiled.
"What is it?"
At this time, the emperor turned on his mobile phone, logged into the Fool game, and did some operations in the game.
After a moment, a square box made of a resin-like transparent material appeared in his hand. Through the outer wall of the box, one could see that an irregular stone the size of a baby's fist was stored in it.
"What is this?" The Blood Emperor looked at the stones in the box curiously, but found that they seemed to be no different from the pebbles that could be seen everywhere.
"This is the stone of authority. As the name suggests, it is something that allows the gods who do not have the authority of God to gain authority."
The Emperor said: "In the world of giants, the original evolutionary limit of all the gods is nine stars. If the giants who have reached the peak of nine stars want to break through to ten stars and become true gods, they must first fuse this thing to gain the authority of gods. Only then do we have the foundation to become a god.”
"In addition, this thing can also be used on us. Although it cannot make us directly become gods, it can be used to fuse the bones of gods to turn an ordinary giant's bones of gods into a god with authority. bones."
"I'm not sure what the source of this stone is, but in short, this thing is extremely rare. For giants, every stone of authority is equivalent to the hope of becoming a god, which is enough to make any giant crazy. thing."
"Now, as long as I open this box, those giants will never be able to refuse the temptation of this stone. Even if they know it is a trap, they will definitely step in."
"You...you have so many good things..."
The Blood Emperor looked at the Emperor with a strange expression, and looked at him casually grabbing some artifacts and power stones from his body. This must be too rich...
The emperor smiled bitterly when he heard this and shook his head: "I'm not that capable. This stone is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in my family."
"family?"
"Yes, one of my ancestors seems to be one of the fools who escaped from the giant world, so some things brought back from the giant world are passed down in the family, including some information about Sky City, which are all left by the ancestors. I learned it from the few words below.”
"Of course, the matter about this stone is top secret, because once this stone is exposed to the air, it is very likely to attract giants, so the ancestors did not leave any information. I only understood this after entering the world of giants. What is it?" the emperor said.
"I see……"
After hearing this, the Blood Emperor couldn't help but sigh. This stone was obviously used by the emperor to fuse the divine bones later. He had already prepared the artifact and authority stone. He only had to hunt a giant, and he would immediately have a very powerful divine skin.
Unfortunately, in order to save the earth now, he can only choose to sacrifice both treasures, and even risk his own life...
Thinking of this, the Blood Emperor suddenly looked at the Emperor seriously: "I said before, 'You are a hypocrite,' but now, I take my words back. You are not a hypocrite, you are a true hero! A hero worthy of everyone's respect!" "
The Emperor looked at the Blood Emperor in surprise, but shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm not as noble as you say. To be honest, I'm actually struggling terribly right now... There's a voice in my mind that keeps asking me, why? If I give up everything I have to save so many strangers, will anyone remember my efforts? What is the point of doing this..."
The emperor thought to himself as he put his hand on the box and slowly lifted the seals on it layer by layer.
"...So, before I change my mind...let's go quickly, far away, and remember to remind others that no one should come near here..."
As the last seal on the box wrapping the authority stone was unlocked.
Thousands of kilometers away from the emperor, on the sea, several giants were scattered and busy searching for the exit. They stopped at the same time and looked back for the first time.
Feeling the strange aura coming from the distance, the giants' eyes turned red uncontrollably and they became extremely manic.
The next second, all the giants roared wildly and rushed back towards the original direction of the black hole.
