One should not confuse the earth element with the god of earth and agriculture Saturn; instead, it was one of the primordial elements that supported the existence of all substance in the universe . That being said, this element was the most abundant in and near the planet of Saturn . Unlike other forms of the earth element that prevented the caster from tapping into its power, the element existed on the planet in the form of liquified gas .
Meanwhile, Wang Tong and his caster companions had already traveled to the source of Saturn's power . In addition to the seven casters that accompanied Wang Tong, Mr . Wannabe was also with him .
The energy on the Saturn was wild and powerful . Mr . Wannabe opened his arms and poured out his GN force to form a protective shield . Everyone was stunned by his display of strength .
"It's about time…Let's start!" Wang Tong announced as he connected his soul energy with the planet . With a golden flash, Charcoal's illusive apparition appeared behind him out of nowhere . Wang Tong muttered something to him and the latter took off, flying toward the core of the planet .
Meanwhile, the other casters also channeled out their soul energy, trying to coax the primordial force into submission . In the sea of wild and turbulent energies, the casters followed Wang Tong's soul essence closely .
Earthquake!
When all the casters' soul energy was in sync, Wang Tong blasted their combined energy toward the tunnel which Charcoal had dug out and propagated them along the way .
Meanwhile, the Zerg encirclement had pushed near the Saturn's rings . Once they got the order from Zhoudi, they could blast the asteroids to dust along with anything hidden inside .
"All ships lower your attitude right now!" Samantha ordered a command .
As the human ships got closer to the surface, the environment condition worsened . However, it was more dangerous if they moved the other way, so the captains followed Samantha's order and dropped their altitude .
The rogue energy bashed and gnawed at the ship, so the captains had to crank up their shield levels, draining a massive amount of their finite energy resources .
"Admiral, it's too dangerous! Our shield can only last five minutes at most . " Li Hong said with a hard face .
"Please believe me and keep lowering . Slow and steady . "
A minutes later, lights on the ship's dashboard started to flicker due to the rapidly draining energy . Two minutes later, the alarms went off, warning everyone about the energy depletion . Three minutes later, the energy shield started to waver .
Samantha didn't speak a word as the ships still kept on dropping . All around the captains, lights were flickering and the engine was sputtering; it was a suicide attempt
Five minutes later, a silence suddenly fell into the commander's room and the power turned back on while the lights stopped spasming .
Everyone could only stare . Where were they and why were they not dead?
The batteries of the ship started to recharge as rapidly as they had been drained . The soldiers looked out of the window and noticed that they had passed through the terrifying atmosphere of the giant planet and reached the peaceful and calm stratosphere . Above them, dark clouds of green, yellow, and red roiled as colorful but frightening lightning forked like the tongue of a serpent .
A blue swirl of energy formed amidst the chaos; it started as a small wisp of pale blue, but quickly absorbed the energy around it and became a giant whirlwind shaped monstrosity . It took off toward the outer atmosphere and grew bigger by the second . When it reached the Saturn's ring, it was already the size of a planetary cyclone . Its tendrils wrapped around the asteroids and hurled them outward .
The Zergs had just gotten within their firing range, but were astonished to see the asteroids become alive with energy and fly at them at a deadly speed .
In the next moment, they were caught in a cosmic hail of epic intensity; it was already too late to escape .
The human soldiers watched in fear as the shower of asteroids washed away the Zergs' fleet without even slowing down . In a blink of an eye, half of the Zerg ships were reduced into useless space junks .
The energy didn't stop growing, but instead, it increased the cyclone's size, seeming to build up energy within the eye . A few seconds later, a spectacular eruption started from the center of the whirlwind and rippled outward; the energy wave lit up the asteroids aflame and capitulated the rocks at the Zerg fleet at an incredible speed . One second later, the Zerg armada was erased from the universe forever .
All the humans on the main ship watched the development with fear and disbelief . What happened to the asteroid belt? The asteroid belt that had surrounded Saturn was gone; the giant planet looked almost naked .
Sailuofu slumped on the floor and was seized by fear .
"Is this the work of Wang Tong?" Xiao Se murmured incredulously .
"Yes, this is his work . He is the savior of mankind . "
"The god has answered . " Li Hong muttered in reverence .
The asteroid belt was gone, and so were the dark clouds above the human fleet . They had watched the destruction of the Zerg armada in full display . The sudden turn of events had filled them with trepidation and elation .
"Full speed ahead!" Samantha's voice finally broke the spell .
The human armada took off to the outer space to chase down the surviving Zerg ships . Some Zerg ships that were at the very back of the formation had enough time to back out of harm's way . By then, they were already on the run away from the nightmarish battlefield . The human ships chased after them as a hungry lion would after its prey .
The human captains were so eager to draw some Zerg blood that they didn't even care to line up the ships into any sort of formation . The Zergs were too scared to fight back anyway . It had been five years since the humans had a major victory against the Zergs, so no one would pass up the opportunity to avenge their loved ones . Even General Li Hong and Xiao Se had joined the scramble .
Meanwhile, Wang Tong and the other casters had fallen asleep on the ship . This spell was much more taxing on the casters' system than the forbidden power .
The six warriors lay in their beds peacefully as the light started to shimmer around them . The light was particularly bright on Michaux, who had a moment of epiphany about the Divine path during the casting . This spell had opened another door in everyone's cultivation, allowing the casters to take a peek at the universe from an angle that was previously unknown to them, and what a marvelous sight it had been!
After some time, the remaining Zerg ships were destroyed by the humans; they didn't even have a chance to fight back before they were bombarded by vengeful fires . The dark ones' armada was no more, and neither was the little chance they had to reclaim Mars . The dark ones' defeat was also a loud slap on the immortals' face .
Dimas pulled a long face and looked troubled . He had warned the dark ones about Wang Tongs' real intentions; however, it was still not enough to prevent the tragedy . He finally conceded that Wang Tong was a force to be reckoned with, and his power was at least on par with that of the Divine Lord .
How did he create the asteroid storm? Did he have a secret weapon at his disposal? If that were the case, Wang Tong had to be stopped before he reached Moon .
The dark ones were done for; it was already set in stone . The real opponent of the immortals had finally surfaced: Wang Tong .
"My lord, we have an order from the Divine Lord . "
"Connect . "
Patroclus' image showed up on the screen .
"My Lord, I was just about to report to you . "
"The dark ones are defeated," Patroclus said indifferently .
"You have already known?"
"It's written on your face . What do you think about it?" Patroclus asked .
"Wang Tong is unbelievably powerful . He is the number one enemy of the immortals," Dimalis said readily .
"Of course! The dark ones had forced him to use the last trump card in his hand . He has nothing left . Do you know what to do next? "
"Yes, my lord . I have faith in our strength, and I will not let Wang Tong reach the moon . "
"Wang Tong's biggest strength is his unpredictability, but that's also his downfall . Remember that . "
"Yes, my lord!"
Dimalis was one of the very few immortals who was able to understand Patroclus' cryptic messages . Dimalis turned off the screen and started to reflect on Wang Tong's strategies .
