Chapter 637: The Final Move
Su Chen knew without a doubt that Les had discovered something significant to possess this knowledge. After all, there was no concept of "Weibo" among the Protoss.
As Winged Clan Divine Envoy conversed with Les, radiant energy enveloped his body, instantly suppressing Les's aura of death and healing the wound on his neck.
To an ordinary person, such an injury would be fatal, but to a Winged Clan Divine Envoy like him, it was merely a minor wound.
Les sneered. If it weren't for his weakened state, his deathly aura alone could have taken down the Winged Clan Divine Envoy before him.
The feeling of diminished power was unpleasant, akin to being humiliated when you were once powerful, as they would say on Earth.
"Death Reaper Les, your strength has declined significantly compared to your prime," Winged Clan Divine Envoy Lavis remarked in a calm tone.
Les let out a cold laugh. "Do you even know how strong I was in my prime? Although I may not match the Winged Clan Mother Star, I held a prominent position among all races, considering the rarity of Constellation-level experts. Unfortunately, when I battled the Winged Clan, I was only at the ninth stage of the Large Galaxy, never having broken through to Constellation-level. Even now, the Protoss remains oblivious to my breakthrough; no one knew when I ascended to that level."
"If we're going to fight, then let's fight. I despise people who talk during battles!" Les cursed, then decisively disappeared from sight, preparing for another ambush.
While Les engaged in combat with the Winged Clan Divine Envoy, Su Chen wasted no time.
If quality wasn't on their side, then they would rely on quantity.He commanded all the Red Alert units with Small Galaxy-level strength to teleport to the outskirts of the Tenfold Annihilation, preparing their most powerful attack. If the Winged Clan Divine Envoy attempted to break free, they would unleash their strongest assault without hesitation.
Furthermore, many Weapons joined the ranks, including ones that Su Chen rarely used, such as the Super Fortress.
These Weapons possessed formidable power, enough to slay ordinary Small Galaxy-level experts. Their attacks converged at a single point, likely to inflict some damage on the Winged Clan Divine Envoy.
Su Chen did not believe that the Winged Clan Divine Envoy could emerge from the Tenfold Annihilation unscathed.
The fusion of all the Superweapons from Red Alert Base made Tenfold Annihilation's overwhelming power visible to the naked eye.
Just then, Su Chen had a sudden realization, "Wait a moment, System, why haven't I seen any trace of the Instant Upgrade Device within Tenfold Annihilation?"
Due to the multitude of Superweapons, Su Chen hadn't considered this earlier. The Instant Upgrade Device was a powerful Superweapon that could enhance Superweapons three times, making it a super weapon among super weapons. It was inconceivable for such a potent Superweapon not to be present within Tenfold Annihilation.
"Please continue to watch, Master."
Su Chen stared intently at the screen, and gradually, his expression changed. He finally noticed the presence of the Instant Upgrade Device.
It turned out that the effect of the Instant Upgrade Device did not manifest at the outset but only in the final moments!
The Winged Clan Divine Envoy possessed tremendous power. As a Large Galaxy-level expert, he could annihilate a planet given enough time. Such individuals, akin to walking nuclear bombs, were challenging to eliminate.
Often, only experts of the same level had a chance to kill another Large Galaxy-level expert, and even then, it was not guaranteed.
Les could hold his own against the Winged Clan Divine Envoy in his current state. On one hand, the Protoss were genuinely powerful, and battling against opponents of a higher tier was routine. On the other hand, the Tenfold Annihilation was suppressing the Winged Clan Divine Envoy's strength, preventing him from unleashing his full power.
Les felt a growing frustration. As a Protoss Death Reaper, he rarely encountered such a stifling battle. Apart from leaving a mark on the Winged Clan Divine Envoy at the outset, his scythe hadn't touched his opponent since. The radiant aura surrounding the Winged Clan Divine Envoy thwarted all his attacks.
This was one of the aspects that Protoss despised the most. The Winged Clan Divine Envoy could create a radiant shield with formidable defense, often deflecting most attacks and rendering them ineffective. Coupled with the Winged Clan's natural regenerative abilities, they were a troublesome race.
Fortunately, such formidable power was only wielded by Winged Clan Divine Envoys at the Large Galaxy level and above. Even a Small Galaxy Ninth-level Peak Winged Clan possessed only a fraction of the regenerative ability and couldn't harness the power of the shield.
Les's attacks continued unabated, and the assaults from Tenfold Annihilation persisted. However, temporary Superweapons were still just temporary. They couldn't be sustained for too long, and the entire Tenfold Annihilation space showed slight fluctuations, indicating that time was running out.
"Not good. Tenfold Annihilation has a time limit. It seems it won't hold much longer," Yun Ru observed the unfavorable situation.
Just as Yun Ru finished speaking, the Tenfold Annihilation space shattered with a sound, as if it would completely dissipate soon.
A faint smile appeared on the Winged Clan Divine Envoy's face. Even with a thirty percent reduction in power due to the absence of Tenfold Annihilation's constraints, he could still easily dominate Les. Les had been able to hold out until now because Tenfold Annihilation had restrained much of his power.
Les understood this, and his complexion turned grim. His attacks became even more ferocious, occasionally punctuated by loud explosions in the air.
Crack!
Suddenly, the Tenfold Annihilation space completely shattered. Just as the Winged Clan Divine Envoy was preparing to attack Les, a sense of crisis gripped him.
"Not good!"
For the first time, he showed a startled expression. He released several layers of radiant shields in an instant. His body became radiant, resembling a miniature sun.
The final move of Tenfold Annihilation had arrived!
The effect of the Instant Upgrade Device appeared, directly boosting Tenfold Annihilation's power by three levels, but only for an instant.
Even if it was just an instant, it posed a fatal crisis for the Winged Clan Divine Envoy. Tenfold Annihilation had originally been a threat to him, but with a sudden three-level increase in power, its incredible might became unimaginable.
The radiant shields surrounding the Winged Clan Divine Envoy were shattered layer by layer until his body was exposed. In his shocked expression, one of his wings was severed and turned into ash.
Su Chen's expression showed a hint of dissatisfaction. Tenfold Annihilation had only managed to sever one of the Winged Clan Divine Envoy's wings – not the outcome he had hoped for.
However, the Heart Demon Clan had a different perspective: "Excellent. The wings behind the Winged Clan have a significant impact on their power. Losing one wing will slightly reduce his strength once more. With this, his power will directly drop to below Large Galaxy level, and we have a chance of victory!"
As the one who understood the Winged Clan the best, its words were undoubtedly trustworthy. (To be continued...)
