Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Get rid of these two easily.

Artemis quickly rushed into the ghost-faced herd.

The scimitar in the right hand reaps the fallen creatures.

Although the armor worn by some ghost-faced beasts has shields, they cannot resist the scimitar slashing full of spiritual energy, and the strength of Artemis' swing is enough to "smoothly" cut the body of the ghost-faced beasts, which is far more efficient than having stand energy weapon.

at this time.

Artemis stretched out his left foot and tripped a ghost-faced beast, stepped forward and turned around, stepped on the breastplate of the ghost-faced beast with his right foot, and pressed down...

"puff!"

Smelly, rotten blood spurted out, and the upper body of the ghost-faced beast collapsed directly, dying instantly.

And all of this is just a gap that can't be blinked.

A hunting god and five gray knights quickly wiped out all the ghost-faced beasts below the low hill.

Make sure nothing else survives.

A group of people gathered again, walked to the top of the low hill, moved forward steadily, and gradually approached the interior of the metal temple.

Enter the temple.

Come to the lobby.

Artemis and the others discovered the source of the faint blue light, which was a slowly expanding vortex entrance created by a leap engine.

Or a portal.

This vortex-like portal is temporarily closed, but it has already begun to cause airflow fluctuations in the hall.

In front of the portal is a skinny ghost-faced beast with sunken eye sockets and eyes filled with blue light.

The moment it saw Artemis and the others walk into the hall of the temple, it spontaneously ignited uncontrollably, as if it had completed the last item of the ceremony, using itself as a key to completely unseal the portal.

Wait until that Brute is reduced to ashes.

"Hoo~!" The wind blew violently, and the vortex intensified.

Artemis' white-haired ponytail also swayed with the violent airflow. She didn't care about her hairstyle, and immediately shared what happened in front of her to remind the Spartans and Gray Knights.

Just finished sharing.

The communication sent a reply from a crew member of the Full Moon: "Sir! Portal gates of the same size have been found in the rainforest of Poulton, and there are twelve of them so far!"

"Understood." Artemis made a judgment: "Notify the knights to rush to the portal and assist the friendly forces to deal with the incoming wave of demons."

"Got it." The crew member replied.

End the conversation.

The airflow gradually stopped, and the vortex of the portal also stopped expanding, and its diameter finally remained at about 25 meters.

The dim light dissipated and was no longer hazy.

I saw a clear blue sky at the end of the portal, and the surrounding environment seemed to be on the top of a certain mountain, with many buildings and a large and magnificent palace.

And in the square in front of the palace, there are twelve conspicuous statues.

The five gray knights were unfamiliar with the scenes at the other end of the door, but they were very familiar to Artemis, even...kind.

Because it is almost the same as the Temple of Olympus.

The twelve statues are the God King Zeus holding the divine weapon "Thunder", the God Queen Hera wielding the "Scepter", the Sea God Poseidon holding high the "Trident", Hades wearing the "Pluto Armor"...

They are the twelve main gods of Olympus, including the god of hunting who once drew the bow.

Of course, all kinds of memories and emotions of Artemis are fleeting, and now she is focusing on the seemingly endless "army of demons".

"Roar~!"

The roar of wild beasts echoed throughout the temple hall, breaking the short silence.

More than a dozen "owls" rushed out of the portal first.

These "owls" have a wingspan of five meters, with layers of blue, purple and pink wings, asymmetrical and irregular multiple eyes, and jagged talons.

Immediately afterwards, there was a wave of beasts on the ground covered with gradient scales that looked like wolves and tigers.

"Get rid of this group of bastards!"

Artemis roared and sprinted quickly, holding the moonlight scimitar tightly in his right hand, and took a grenade from the back of his waist with his left hand, buckled the ring with his index finger, and snapped the safety with his thumb, and threw it forward without using much force.

"Howl!"

A wolf and tiger suddenly jumped up without knowing why, opened its mucus-flowing mouth, and accurately swallowed the grenade in mid-air.

subsequently.

"Boom~!"

The explosion shattered the wolf-tiger beast, which was thinking of dogs picking things up, into several pieces from the inside to the outside, and at the same time sprayed a dense fog of water from the full moon to the surrounding area.

in a blink.

This full moon grenade dedicated to the gray knight successfully created a vacuum in the beast tide, and completely corroded the wolf and tiger beasts of the "native creatures" in different spaces. .

It can be seen that the wolf tiger that swallowed the grenade in its belly wanted to use itself to reduce the damage range of the grenade.

Its behavior does play a role, otherwise the grenade explodes in an open area, it will only "purify" more of its kind.

At the same time as the grenade exploded.

Artemis was already "going upstream", repeatedly waving and slashing with her right hand, and stretched out her left hand to catch the wolf and tiger that was rushing towards her, twisted its neck hard, and then flicked it at will.

After freeing her left hand, she twisted her waist, removed the bolt gun attached to the outer armor of her right leg, and continued to harvest the demons gushing out from different dimensions.

So did the five Gray Knights.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

The melodious gunshots unique to the Bakugo series sounded, representing the uninterrupted "performance" of the demon's body being cracked, exploded, and corroded.

"Aw...! Roar...!"

With the wailing resounding in the hall of the temple, Artemis and the five gray knights are like a flood dam, forcibly resisting the torrent of demons.

"Boom~!"

At this moment, at the entrance of the temple, three groups of space distortions that were visible to the naked eye appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the moment the distortion ended, three more gray knights teleported here to join the battle to "purify" the demon.

The Holy Shield Terminator currently equipped by the Gray Knights, together with the Glory Guards of each legion, have completed a "major update" one after another, and have a short-distance teleportation device.

14 years ago.

In name, the research was led by Sui Bian, but in fact it was the individual equipment of the Chronos Corps exchanged by Sui Bian. After the company's researchers simplified the project, the transmission device could be incorporated under the Terminator's power backpack.

Now.

The three gray knights arrived here, and it didn't take long before they ushered in three Spartan squads who had been sweeping nearby.

A total of eighteen Spartans equipped with Thor's Hammer Mark-V (Mark-Ⅴ) ran through the passage, rushed to the underground space and came to the temple hall, using absolute firepower output to suppress the wave of demons.

In addition to the standard .75cal bolt rifle, one of the heavy squads has a 1.0cal bolt machine gun and a handheld plasma cannon.

In addition, the captain of the reloading team has an olive branch engraved on his helmet, and a plasma shoulder cannon on his right shoulder.

After joining the battle.

Regardless of the remaining ammunition, the salvo immediately weakened the demon's offensive, especially the "sparks" exploded by the plasma cannon, which continued to burn the metal temple.

The fierce battle between the two sides finally came to a temporary halt due to the metal whine of "crack...~" and the collapse of the building with a "boom".

No matter how large the temple was, it couldn't resist the "tossing" of a hunting god and twenty-six giants, and it collapsed.

Large metal plates are scattered downwards, and the supporting metal columns on both sides are inclined left and right.

"Om~!"

Artemis and the others' power armor generates energy shields to help resist heavy objects of several tons or tens of tons.

"Puff! Puff!"

On the contrary, the beast demons were smashed into meat paste by heavy objects one after another, the smelly blood was splashed everywhere, and then gradually turned into "black water", and they were forced to be expelled back to the different space.

The collapse stopped.

Artemis and the others reorganized and stepped on the ruins in a semicircle formation, keeping a certain distance from the portal that continued to open.

At the same time, under the cover of several Spartans and Gray Knights, Artemis and the others completed the bomb change one after another.

And the wave of demons is suspended.

However, instead of those beast demons who are not even low-level demons, there are "soldiers of the gods" who cooperate in an orderly manner and hold their shields high.

These "god servants" with an average height of more than three meters, still wearing ancient Greek armor, holding all kinds of cold weapons and giant shields full of psionic energy, walked out of the portal in a formation of heavy infantry.

However, their faces and bodies have long been distorted and distorted by the corrosion of different spaces, their skins are covered by scales of gradient color, and "secondary mouths" of different sizes grow on their cheeks and necks.

Where is the heroic appearance of defending the Temple of Olympus thousands of years ago, resolutely following Zeus into a different space in order to kill the devil?

The fallen servants of the gods are not as vulnerable as the beast demons. They use physical shields and spiritual barriers to resist explosive bolts and plasma cannons, and approach Artemis and the others with only a small loss, preparing for handover .

See here.

A hot-tempered Spartan team leader immediately attached the bolt gun to the outer thigh armor, took off the "normal size" chainsaw sword hanging from his waist, activated it, let the chain rotate at a high speed, and then rushed straight into the enemy's formation , and shouted loudly:

"Brothers! For father! For mankind! Save this group of guys who can't stick to their hearts and become playthings of evil gods!"

"For father!"

"For humanity!"

The Spartans roared in unison, drew out their chainsaw swords, and followed the captain to engage in close combat with the servants of the fallen gods.

At the same time, the gray knights also shouted "Die! Demons!" and "Try soul burning!" to engage in close combat.

In the melee.

Wearing a purple-blue cloak, a fallen servant of the gods who seemed to be a high-ranking man brandished a battle spear at a speed that ordinary people could not see clearly, and stabbed at the back of a gray knight.

But there was a "shua!"

The other brother, who was in charge of covering the back, used the power halberd of the goddess of nemesis to cut down the fallen servant of God in one step.

"what!"

The fallen servant screamed, and his body burned rapidly, struggling desperately to try to put out the fire, but before he blinked, he was burned to ashes.

After all, the position of wrapping the halberd blade is still full of the gray knight's spiritual energy.

The beginning of melee combat.

Although the Fallen Servants had an absolute numerical advantage and were half a meter taller than the Spartans equipped with Thor's Hammer V, there was no one-sided situation.

They are already transcending mortals, and they have the blessings of the evil gods" and "blessings", but their individuals still cannot completely suppress Sparta or the Gray Knights, not to mention the strength and reaction enhancement of Thor's Hammer and Holy Shield.

The situation is stalemate.

The number of fallen servants is approaching infinity, and Sparta and the gray knights are working hard to maintain the situation. There have been no casualties for the time being, but the support is still on the way and it will take some time to arrive.

However, Artemis, who had two gray knights helping to cover her, didn't like the stalemate very much.

She retracted her bolter and moonlight scimitar, and removed the full moonbow.

Hold the bow in your left hand and pull the bowstring with your right hand. When the whole bow looks like a full moon, the pure spiritual energy contained in the bow will generate a shining spiritual arrow "out of thin air".

Aim forward.

Let go of your right hand.

"Wh----!"

The arrow was like a runaway horse, drawing an afterimage and shooting straight to the end of the portal.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

All the fallen servants of the gods along the way, even if they were not directly shot through or blocked in the path of the arrows, would be burned to ashes, and they couldn't even scream.

In an instant.

The psychic arrow has successfully shot into the portal and landed on the statue of Pallas in the center of the square, and then...

Ri～

"Boom—long——!"

Although this bow was named "full moon" according to Artemis' preference, in fact, the explosion created a dazzling "ball of light" like the sun.

The "sphere of light" expanded rapidly, quickly engulfing the square at the other end of the portal, as well as the army of fallen god servants gathered in the square, and even the buildings and palaces were affected.

this time.

The fallen servants of God in the underground space will spontaneously ignite as long as they are illuminated by light...

It is spontaneous combustion on the level of body and soul.

Immediately afterwards, a shock wave gushed out of the portal and hit all around, causing the energy shields of Thor's Hammer and Holy Shield to rise again.

Artemis narrowed his eyes slightly, looked directly at the "ball of light", and while hanging the full moon bow back on his waist, he couldn't help sighing:

"Has his divine power... psychic power... actually reached such an exaggerated level?"

Fortunately, her body can withstand the backlash of the full moon bow. If an ordinary person pulls the bowstring, her end will also be turned into ashes.

…

While Artemis destroyed the palace.

Four thousand kilometers away from Budapani, in the rainforest in the late night time zone, there is another underground space with a portal.

The fierce battle staged in this underground space also fell into a short pause because of the sun-like rays of light bursting out from the psionic arrow.

The fallen servants suffered heavy casualties, but at least half of them survived.

Because Pallas was here, he released a large amount of spiritual energy in time to form a barrier to block the portal.

And here, there is the Primarch of Sparta, John, whom it admires very much and wants to recruit in person, and the hundred Spartans and warrior guards who fought with the Primarch.

According to Pallas' original plan, he was going to try to physically defeat John before "that man" and another Primarch arrived in Bulton, and then use physical contact to implement corruption.

After freeing up, he will deal with his younger sister who has lost her divine power and has "problems" in her thinking.

But it didn't expect its sister to have the full moon bow, and it didn't expect that the full moon bow directly placed it in the "divine domain" of a different space, or it directly promoted its "home".
