Tempest of the Battlefield Chapter 673

Zachery had held back his power ever since he had entered the state of super Einherjar . The power of super Einherjars was too dangerous for this world, and the more he used the otherworldly power, the more detached he would be from the current one; and Zachery didn't want to leave yet .

However cold blooded he had been, ever since he met Wang Tong, he had a taste of what really mattered in this world . He couldn't let go of the memories of the time he had spent with Wang Tong and with Charcoal .
Despite his reluctance in unleashing the power of a super Einherjar, he knew that no one other than him was able to move the city .  

Zachery could have confronted Patroclus for Wang Tong and win decisively, but he didn't because he knew that the outcome mattered far less than the process . Wang Tong had to do it himself`, and the latter wouldn't agree to let Zachery fight in his stead anyway . He had been looking forward to the fight for a long time . Even for the task at hand, he hesitated to ask another favor from Mr . Wannabe since he felt he was already in deep debt after Zachery had saved him so many times . However, the lives of millions of humans were at stake, and only with Zachery's help could Wang Tong minimize their casualties .  

"My Lord, It's time to fight back . " Harmon pleaded . It was evident that Wang Tong already knew about the queen's hiding spot . The brazen attack on the space city meant that Wang Tong and his gang had already devised a detailed plan to kill the queen; he had to be stopped sooner rather than later .

Patroclus shook his head and said with finality, "It's already too late . If we act now, they will simply destroy the entire city . " Both Patroclus and Harmon knew that Zachery was capable of wiping out an entire city with relative ease by himself .

Meanwhile in the city, feeling that the situation has spiraled out of control, the citizens panicked . Soon, the engine of the City's propelling system sputtered, and the city was finally pushed out of its orbit . Zachery's power was able to bend the very fabric of space and time as it came from a much higher dimension .  

It was the first time that people had witnessed the might and power of a Super Einherjar .  Everyone knew that as a super Einherjar, Zachery's power was beyond the confinement of the laws of physics of this world .  

Knowing that their help was useless, the Immoral fleet stayed far away from the action and recorded the development . Zachery sensed that he was being watched, so he turned around toward the camera and cast his audiences a cold stare . That one look said it all; anyone watching the live stream could feel the chill down their spines as they locked eyes with Zachery .  

As a super Einherjar, he was the ultimate form of human existence; he was a god living in a human's form .

Suddenly, Zachery disappeared and the camera cut to Wang Tong, who looked at Charcoal and announced, "It's your turn now . "

Charcoal reached out his skinny arms that were meant for mining activities as a ray of light shot out of his body into the abyss of the space .  Under the intense light, the dark space turned into liquid; slowly, a slit appeared in the space as if a sharp knife had opened up space at its seams . The slit grew bigger by the second and revealed an amazing sight: a giant spaceship was parked in the middle of a hyperspace .  

Meanwhile, the Zergs all around the moon and the Earth started to become agitated as they felt the presence of the Queen . She was the supreme leader of the Zergs, and her order would trump that of Patroclus . However, Patroclus had cast a spell around the Ark and that disabled the Queen's telepathic abilities . Nonetheless, her presence could be felt by Zergs hundreds of thousands of miles away .

Wang Tong was able to pass through the energy barrier with ease since his soul essence was able to absorb any energy that came to contact with him . After a few moments of searching, he finally located the queen . She was a giant hunk of meat surrounded by a hundred or so lesser queens .  

As soon as the queen saw Wang Tong, she attacked him with an ultrasonic attack . The attack would have killed any live creature, but it was not able to harm him .

Standing face to face with the queen, Wang Tong was elated . Once he killed it, he would have ended the century-long war between the humans and her kind .

Sensing the grave danger she was in, the queen doubled down on her telepathic ability and was able to transmit a segment of her order to the Zergs nearby .  

But by the time the Zergs got the order and started to rush toward the Ark, it was already too late . Two giant fireballs lit up in Wang Tong's hands, and he threw it at the giant queen, setting her aflame . The Queen let out a few agonizing howls and then she was dead . Feeding on the queen's thick blubber, the fire spread throughout the ship, cleansing it of all the abomination that had plagued it over the six years .  

The death of the queen sent a strong pulse of telepathic energy that scrambled the minds of all Zergs, rendering them uncontrollable by the immortals . On the contrary, the Immortals were practically unaffected by the death of the queen due to their weak affinity with it . Nonetheless, a lot of them felt defeated by the development and were at a loss .

"Patroclus, it is time to settle our scores!" Wang Tong turned toward the immortals' surveillance drones that were watching his actions and said loud and clear .  

Without the ability to control the Zergs, the Immortals would never be able to exert dominance over the humans regardless of how powerful they were .  The death of the queen had turned the tide of battle and significantly raised the spirits of the human soldiers .  

Out of control and unhinged, the primitive Zergs started to attack anyone on sight . The immortals quickly found themselves fighting on two fronts; not only did they need to prepare the final showdown with the humans, but they also need to quash the reckless and relentless attacks of the Zergs from the inside .  

The Divine Hall had fallen pin-drop silent, as the leaders of the immortals had never expected this day to come . They were on course to claim the entire world just a few weeks ago, but now, the whole world intended to claim their lives .

Not only did the humans want to burn them on stakes as freaks, but the Zergs also wanted to tear them apart in their mindless rampage; life suddenly became a struggle, and immortality a curse .

Their only hope was in Patroclus' victory over Wang Tong . Patroclus watched as Wang Tong challenged him to a duel on the screen . He knew this day would come, so he was not as astonished by the challenge as the other Immortals . He looked up at the night sky through the panoramic skylight window and wondered what the world would become after their fight .

"Meet me at the Sky Arena in a month," Patroclus spoke through an intercom . After three hundred and six years, the humans were back where they started: the sky arena .  

Neither Patroclus nor Wang Tong had any other choice but to fight each other to death; the division between humans and the Immortals was too deep to mend .  

The immortals quickly spread the news through all media channels . This would be the third fight between the two warriors .  

Wang Tong defeated Patroclus with a narrow margin in their first match, and Patroclus defeated him in the second . What would happen in the third round? It would be hard to say .

Neither Patroclus nor Wang Tong was the same person from six years ago . Patroclus had gained an invincible body and perfected his cultivation with the help of the immense influence that he had garnered over the years . Meanwhile, Wang Tong had demonstrated near god-level powers by evoking an asteroid storm that changed the appearance of the planet Saturn .  

The fight between Wang Tong and Patroclus would determine the dominant force of the galaxy, and the Zergs had become irreverent in this match . They were swept under the rug and forgotten the moment their queen was burned to death, and their endeavor in the Galaxy had come to an end .

The fight would be monumental in human history, but both sides prepared for the battle in silence . Once Wang Tong returned to earth, the military blocked the public's access to their hero . During this one month time, he not only needed to prepare for the fight, but also needed to bring closures to many personal matters .

The Immortal armada had pulled out of Mars' territory since their mission would be meaningless after the fight between Wang Tong and Patroclus . On their way back to the moon, they were attacked by many Zerg hives that had gone nuts over the death of the queen .  

While Patroclus prepared for the fight, he also spent a lot of time to come up with a contingency plan for the Immortals . Everyone knew that Patroclus was not fighting for himself, but for the survival of the race, he had created .
