High Above Chapter 896

  Chapter 896 Isn't it just an empty ship, watch me push it back with the Giant of Light!

   "I said why I couldn't find any clues in Nanling at all. It turned out to be an airship of the Empire!"

  The moment Ian saw the airship, he immediately understood the subtle idea of ​​Flameland.

They roughly guessed the scope of Ian's prophetic ability, so they used extremely roundabout methods, and through various actions beyond Ian's prediction range, they controlled an airship that would only enter Xiahui's territory on the same day... and then let this The airship hit Xiahui collar directly, leaving no room for it!

  Because the actions related to lurking and hijacking the boarding plane have been decided outside the empire, so Ian can't stop it at all, and there is no way to find the source in Nanling.

  The others were on top of the heavy snow, and they couldn't even see the airship. Naturally, they couldn't tell who was the main cause of the disaster.

   But just as Ian thought at first: predicting but not preventing is not a big deal.

  Anyway, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover them with soil. I will make my own preparations and see if you can break my defense.

  In the vision of foresight, Ian could see that Xiahui City did not appear red—the attack would not cause much damage to the city.

   But... at what cost?

   Those hostages?

The people in Flameland may have made a mistake. Ian is not the kind of person who cares about hostages, let alone, he has been attacked by Flameland. He assumes that all the people on the airship are dead. Better.

  Although those dead people died on the way to Xiahui City, it will indeed bring troubles to Ian, but this does not mean that Ian is afraid of these troubles.

  The most important thing is not to kill your own people.

   "Adelbert..."

  Ian looked at the airship that had already started to fall, and he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. The prophet murmured: "Don't let me down."

   And at the same time.

  Adbert is underground in Xiahui City, the center of the protection circle of the same type as Daxueding. The white-haired researcher stood in the center of countless complicated inscriptions, taking a deep breath.

   "Scott, can I hold back?"

  He muttered to Iron Man executive who was debugging various data for him: "I am no longer the king of death, can I really take on this important task?"

   "I don't know what a dead king is."

Scott has known for a long time that his family's alchemy supervisor is unusual and has a mysterious background, so he is not surprised by his words: "But I know that Ian has never misjudged anyone—if the adults think you can do it, you can definitely do it. "

   "If you don't believe in yourself, you should believe in Lord Ian who believes in you!"

  Adelbert feels that Scott's admiration for Ian has reached a certain level of blindness, but it is a pity that he is actually similar.

  Indeed, the fact that Ian believed in him so much proved that he could indeed do it.

"bring it on!"

   With a low cry, Adbert's soul began to connect the shelter towers located around Xiahui City in series, and drew the mysterious energy in Xiahui Lake to create a huge defense matrix that was almost equivalent to the top of the snow.

  Different from the natural psionic field of Daxueding, the energy of Xiahui Lake all comes from the mysterious skyfall relics at the bottom of the lake.

  Theoretically speaking, only Ian can safely draw the energy in it and activate the protection circle, but Adbert has obtained part of Ian's authority before.

  He can use his strengthened soul to get to the top of the snow, which requires four psykers including Myers and 18 affinity for the protection circle.

   He can do it with the support of the Heart of Terra.

   "Now, it's time to verify the progress of my meditation method."

  Immerse your mind in the virtual world. Except for Ian, the only person who knows the true power of the Heart of Tyra unites his heart with the Heart of Tyra.

  At this moment, his computing power increased wildly, exploded, and increased fifty times!

  In the virtual realm, more than fifty soul tentacles were derived from the original octahedral soul, and these tentacles were connected to the protection circle one by one, and at the same time controlled the operation of one defense tower after another.

  First is anti-aircraft firepower.

At the moment when the airship began to fall, inside Xiahui City, those prismatic cannons began to fire, and the fiery beams focused on the huge monster over 100 meters long, pulling its snow-white hull There were golden red wounds.

  The sky was full of golden-red molten iron, and the people who had been evacuated in the distant streets watched this scene in awe.

  The large airships that were intensively attacked by the Xiahui Ling aviation firepower have begun to disintegrate in mid-air, but the power of the tens of thousands of tons of steel falling from an altitude of several thousand meters is still more terrifying than all artillery bombardments, only the power of sublimators can match.

   And in the beams of light all over the sky, a honeycomb barrier composed of dozens of hexagonal shields floated above Xiahui City.

This is a golden-red shield, which seems to be made of hot flesh and blood. Accompanied by the intense buzzing that resounds throughout the whole process, it slowly rises, blocking all falling wreckage and molten iron, like a giant supporting the world. Slowly raised his body, and faced the shattered wreckage of the airship head-on.

  Boom!

  The first smaller piece of wreckage hit the shield, and the sound of huge explosions and bombardments resounded throughout the city—those who stayed behind closed doors, those who had already entered the shelter, and those citizens who watched from afar watched this scene.

  They watched in horror, astonishment, and fascination as the huge flame cloud exploded on their city shield, as if watching a grand fireworks show.

  It is like gazing out of the window at a snowstorm in a warm room, and it is like gazing at a storm raging through the window in a dry room.

  It is precisely because of the fear of such destruction befalling oneself, so when witnessing such destruction befalling with one's own eyes, no harm will affect oneself at all.

  A kind of fear and 'sense of security' originating from the flesh and blood, when the first fragment was blocked, it crazily grew in the hearts of all the residents of Xiahui City.

   "Is this the shield of our city..."

  Before entering the underground shelter, a father looked up at the fire cloud rising from the entrance. He hugged his daughter and muttered to himself: "I didn't feel any shock... only sound..."

   "This is Xiahui City...our city..."

  In the most dangerous crisis, in the face of the greatest fear of death, no matter who they are, they will be grateful to the heroes who stand in front of them.

   Now, Xiahui City does not have such a specific hero.

   The city is sanctuary itself.

  Adelbert didn't know, because of the shield he supported, the people of this city finally had a sense of identity beyond their love for the city they lived in.

  All he knew was that his head was going to explode just by blocking a piece of debris.

"h"

  Blood overflowed from his eyes, and the air in his lung cavity was spit out. At this moment, Adalbert finally understood why Ian had been telling him that his soul had reached the realm of the third energy level...

   Nonsense, if his soul is not as tough as the third energy level, how can he bear the recoil of dozens of shelter towers by himself? !

  I am really strong! But it still doesn't feel like enough!

   Soon, without allowing Adalbert to think too much, a larger fragment, wrapped in burning red flames, fell obliquely.

  —Boom! ! !

  At this moment, the golden-red shield covering half of the city flickered like a bad contact, and the whole shield turned from real to illusory, making everyone's hearts tighten subconsciously.

   But no matter what, as the huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, countless shock waves tilted towards the outside of the city along the direction of the shield.

  Although the shield has become a lot more illusory, it still exists after all, precariously existing!

   This second, larger fragment was finally blocked by Adalbert, who tried his best to control the matrix of the shelter tower!

  But in response to these two consecutive attacks comparable to the bombardment of the third energy level, some of the shelter towers located in Xiahui City have already begun to smoke and overload.

  Ian did foresee the disaster and tried his best to improve the technology in this area, but it took less than half a year to develop the Sanctuary Circle, no matter how optimized it is, the current point is already the limit.

  Yeah… there's another fragment.

  —Enough, good enough.

  Bringing snow clouds all over the sky, Ian has already rushed to a mountain peak closest to Xiahui City.

  He was already probing out of thin air at this moment, condensing a huge frost vortex in midair, trying to extinguish the fuel rain that was still burning in midair.

  —Let that piece of debris fall, even if some houses and blocks are destroyed, none of the people who have been evacuated long ago will die. This is already the greatest success.

  With Ian's power, even if half of the city is set on fire by the fragments of the airship, he can extinguish all the flames in an instant.

  The process of rebuilding the city is also a process of rebuilding cohesion... When the overturned tower is rebuilt, people will unite as one!

  Ian didn't mind accepting the 'almost process'.

  But today, Adalbert does not accept any ending other than the 'best'.

  At this moment, the former dead king, whose eyes were a little loose, heard the voices of many dead souls in the 'Heart of Terra'.

   Concerned, anxious voices.

  【Our King...】

  Through the power of the heart of Terra, the dead souls whispered: 【You really still need our help】

  【Really worrying】

"you…"

  At this moment, Adalbert was still able to think. He stared blankly at the many white ghosts that appeared in front of his eyes, and murmured: "I'm working hard here now, but I don't want you to continue to suffer this fate..."

   "I don't want to be a king who uses the power of the dead soul for my own use... This world doesn't need emperors and kings..."

  【This is different, our king】

  In the exchange of souls, time seems to be still, and the dead souls smiled and said to the dead king: [For the first time, we were involuntary and had no choice, so we mourned and sighed, so we hated and resented]

  【But this time...King】

  【This time, it is our own choice】

  【We want to help you】

  All the mysteries of psionic power come from this point.

  An intelligent being, a mind, 'wants to do something'.

  Think from the heart, think sincerely.

  Think forever, never give up.

   This kind of 'thought' is a kind of 'direction'.

   A kind of 'power'.

  Its name is 'Psychic Energy'—the power that comes from the Great Ether Gyre, echoing all wishes and dreams!

  At this moment, in the hearts of Adalbert and the dead souls, they are thinking about such a thing sincerely.

   "I want to be his/their strength."

  Thus, the power gushes out.

   From the souls and the king of souls springs forth!

  Terra's Heart shone with a silvery radiance, and the icy sun shone brightly.

  The originally sloppy protective circle completely dissipated at this moment—then turned into endless light and reorganized again!

These powers turned into a hand, holding up the falling fragments of the airship—the rays of light were still gathering and gathering, and finally turned into a hazy giant of light, standing between the sky and the earth, blocking it with his chest. All the fallen airship fragments!

More than that! The giant of light soared into the sky, pushed away the 10,000-ton wreckage, all the explosion sparks and the poisonous gas from the wreckage, and threw them to the other side of the mountain!

  Boom! !

  A violent explosion sounded from the uninhabited mountainous area, exploding large mushroom clouds.

"ah?"

  Ian, who was planning to wait for the wreckage of the airship to fall before going to put out the fire, stared at this scene dumbfounded. Even he couldn't hold back at this moment: "Light, giant of light!?"

   "I shouldn't have told this story to Adalbert, have I?!"

  Ian did not tell it, but Scott and Qingchao liked those stories very much, and Adalbert naturally heard them too—but the point is not here.

No matter how bizarre the final result becomes, at this moment, the giant with red stripes on a white background supported the sky. He pushed away all the wreckage of the empty ship, forming a hexagonal honeycomb around him, which was enough to block all the shields and wipe out all the damage. All rejected.

   This is a miraculous scene, Xiahui City has been completely protected.

"…god!"

   "It's a miracle!"

   At the same moment, after a brief shock and silence, Xiahui City boiled.

Sudden attacks and disasters are not rare on the land of Terra. Everyone who dreams of 'living in peace until old age' will feel that it is too extravagant... On this continent, what is really scarce is the response Heroes and gods who appear as people desire.

When encountering a crisis, one person cannot resist it alone, and one must unite as a group to resist, but sometimes, even a city or a country cannot stop the natural disaster from coming. At that time, the only thing that can be called is the existence of nothingness in the dark .

  Even if they talk about God, no one really believes that there is a God to save them.

  But just now, 'God' and 'Hero' appeared!

  Smart people are actually very clear that the shield against the debris of the airship is the shelter towers recently built by the city hall, and the last giant of light is probably the result of a powerful sublimator using formations to fight.

   But this fact is too shocking, the giant of light protects everything behind him with his chest, even if it is only a human being who does all this, then he should be worshiped.

   Was...guarded by the Giant of Light...

   "Xiahui Ling's technology has actually reached this point..."

  In the Chongling Building, not all the staff of the Xiahui Mission went to Daxueding, but the members of the mission who stayed in the city wanted to leave this "dangerous tall building" as soon as they encountered an attack.

  But they had just run halfway, and they were shocked and pleasantly surprised to find that the existence of the shelter matrix and the giant of light stopped all destruction and disasters from outside the city.

  All the explosions and shock waves did not enter the city at all, but were all guided out of the city by the shield and the giant of light.

"It seems that we have to raise the evaluation of Ian Yinfeng by one more level... no, three levels!" The envoy member of the City of Knowledge murmured to himself, his face half shocked and half in disbelief: "As According to Pagoda Master Qingyue, this Prophet Lord definitely possesses a powerful technique that we don't even know about!”

   "It's a bit like the Aurora Titan?" The visitors from Whale Song Cliff were a little hesitant. They couldn't say clearly, and they always felt a little familiar, but the Giant of Light was not the Giant of Thunder, so they were just guessing.

   But soon, they didn't bother to guess, and they directly praised: "Amazing! Even this kind of attack can be blocked, we may be able to introduce this technology!"

   "But what shall we give in exchange?"

   "Let the headquarters think about it, they will definitely regret it, this time we only sent a group of warriors who don't understand technology!"

   "We're victorious! We're victorious!"

  In a short while, in Xiahui City, the slightly dull atmosphere due to the attack of the flying flames was swept away, leaving only endless cheers reaching the sky.

  The giant of light looked back and saw the intact city without any damage, and then it turned into fragments and dissipated bit by bit.

  Ian stood in the sky, overlooking all this.

   “Something I didn't expect…something good that I didn't expect.”

  He felt relieved: "Finally, when I'm not around, there are people who can protect this land."

   "Adelbert... maybe only a person with the same morals as you can trigger the miracle of the souls at this time."

   "You deserve these cheers, and I have finally waited for a fellow of the Arcane Path."

   Just now…

  Ian turned his head sideways, looking in the direction where the wreckage of the airship was before.

  His gaze was cold: "It's time to catch the perpetrator."

at the same time.

  The demon Ace, or in other words, the demon 'Huo Xin' was extremely indignant.

   "What is Rongying doing?! Didn't he say that he has destroyed the energy system of Xiahui City? Why is the shield so hard that the entire airship can be dropped?!"

It can't be said that Flameland's plan is not sophisticated—they even overestimated the defense system of Xiahui City. Assuming that Xiahui City has the ability to shoot down the airship in advance, they assigned spies to fuse with demons to destroy the power source and ensure the safety of the falling ship. Airships can destroy half a city.

   Such destruction will definitely bring sufficient advantages to the flying flame land troops that come in the follow-up surprise attack!

   But... this plan has had problems from the beginning.

  The devil Rongying is still happily working in the beverage factory.

   Having been completely brainwashed by the Soul Stamp, although he will respond to the missions of Feiyandi on the surface, in fact, he has completely become a happy beater.

   There are free drinks every day, life is boundless! Enjoying the eight-hour working system and overtime pay, Rongying has almost forgotten her original job.

   "No, you must leave immediately!"

  Huo Xin felt that something was wrong at this moment. He knew that when there was a problem with Rong Ying, all the information about Xiahui City might be false... His own existence is not necessarily safe, and he might be discovered!

No.

   is already discovered.

   "Another fusion demon..."

  Accompanied by the icy silver-white radiance, the power of the heart of Terra burst forth under the will of its ruler... Then he grabbed the ray of purple-red soul wandering in the void: "Come here."

  No resistance whatsoever.

   Under this grasp, Huo Xin lost consciousness.

  The crisis of Xiahui led has come to an end for the time being.

  Many envoys from other countries and other imperial nobles who came to watch the ceremony but had to leave because of this unexpected attack were extremely shocked when they saw the unscathed Xiahui City before leaving.

  Before, although Daxueding's shelter circle was magnificent, it didn't show any actual strong defensive power—maybe Ian had a plan, but they didn't see it because of an accident.

  But now, even from the wreckage of the empty boat next to it, it can be seen how tragic the attack on Xiahui Territory was.

   Even so, the city remained unscathed.

'The City of Immortality'... Today, some people in Xiahui City already call their city that way, and those nobles and important figures who know more are also feeling that they are indeed the disciples of the city who did not move, and he ruled the city. The city below is indeed so indestructible!

  Up to now, although there have been accidents, no one dares to underestimate Yinfeng Ling and Chongling Sect. Not to mention the protection circle, the sudden appearance of the giant of light is obviously the trump card of the Chongling sect. If there is no such accident, they may not have seen this amazing existence.

   This groundbreaking ceremony really came at the right time!

  But the peace of Xiahui City is only the peace of one city.

  Now, the entire Nanling has been plunged into a sea of ​​smoke and blood.
