Chapter 4002 The Power of a God
In the Battle between Gods and Heroes, ordinary soldiers didn't even qualify as cannon fodder.
No amount of attacks from mechs or even warships for that matter could possibly make a difference against those who wielded Saint Kingdoms and even stronger domain fields.
The very space around the powerful entities turned into impassable regions. Nothing could get past these powerful fields so long as their sources did not allow for it. Just this defensive measure alone was enough to make many mortals give up their futile thoughts of defeating their opposing gods!
Even expert pilots such as Venerable Dorsa Avinx found herself unqualified to join the ranks of the heroes that fought at this crucial level.
She had only tried to attack the Cold One once with her submachine gun before she personally felt how the dark god easily crushed her resonance-empowered attacks without conscious effort!
That brief moment of contact caused the Hexer expert pilot's hardened will to almost get frozen by the Cold One's unimaginably powerful domain!
"How can I possibly help the Superior Mother fend off these dark gods?" Venerable Avinx murmured.
Given her low qualifications, she had no choice but to turn her Valkyrie Reaper's death-seeking spear against the more mundane forces of the Oblivion Empire.
"All we can do is spread more death!"
As the Valkyrie Reaper and many other mechs of the Oblivion Army resisted the advance of the Abyssal Army, the battle taking place far above continued to shake and warp the surrounding space to a concerning degree!
The fabric of spacetime was already significantly weaker in the Nyxian Gap. The anomalous region made it easier for entities such as the Oblivion Empress and the dark gods to exert their respective powers, but it also posed greater hazards to the surrounding mortal forces!
Normally, Lady Nyx and the dark gods would put some effort into taming the instability of the surrounding space in order to protect their subordinates.
Neither side had the luxury to care about that right now as they focused all of their power and concentration on defeating their current opposition!
Cynthia Larkinson did not make it easy for her two powerful opponents to gain the upper hand.
When her power alone failed to shake the combined efforts of the Patient One and the Massive One, she began to harness the power and authority that she had partially wrested from the Nyxian Gap!
"This region has a far greater history than humanity in this galaxy! Let me introduce to you the ghosts that haunt the Gap!"
The Lady of the Night seemed to meld with the local space. Slowly but surely, a huge swirl of shackled and tortured apparitions came into form!
These horrible alien souls uttered silent screams as their trapped forms sought freedom that was never attainable.
Even though they had never been able to extricate themselves from their eternal predicament, that did not mean they were unable to inflict harm.
As soon as Cynthia summoned the ghosts, they pelted and ravaged the invisible fields surrounding the dark gods!
It was a pity that the effect was not as powerful as he hoped.
The Massive One's immensely powerful gravity force went beyond the physical and was able to crush intangible entities with just as much ease!
Meanwhile, the Patient One was even more direct in his successful attempt to fend off the large amount of ghosts. The sage-like man used one of his long nails to trace a circle.
As soon as he did so, the flow of ghosts heading into his direction slowed down until it practically froze!
While this did not cause the ghosts to disappear, their snail pace meant that they no longer actively battered against the defenses of the dark gods.
"You do not control that power. It is useless for you to direct such pathetic means against a god." The Patient One contemptuously said.
"You are not gods." Cynthia scoffed as she prepared her next attack.
"No, but we are the closest to them. Let us show you how true power should be wielded!"
The large, black orb that represented the Massive One uttered a soundless but painful roar as a fragment of its spherical form suddenly tore away on its own accord!
The long and thin shard of the Massive One's body oriented one of its sharp points towards the Oblivion Empress.
As soon as it locked onto its target, the Massive One exerted his gravity power to repel the shard, causing it to shoot forward at great speed!
Cynthia already knew that she was unable to dodge the attack, so she raised a hand and formed a more solid energy shield in an attempt to block or at least weaken the incoming blow.
Yet before the shard of the Massive One was able to arrive, the Patient One pointed his finger at the projectile, causing two more shards to appear from slightly different timelines!
The Lady of the Night was barely able to reinforce the power of her shield as the three powerful shards struck in quick succession!
Several explosions of light and energy temporarily blocked the view of the soldiers fighting below.
When the interference disappeared, everyone tried to see whether the Oblivion Empress had suffered serious harm.
The threat and power exuded by the shards of the Massive One had been formidable!
There was no way an attack that prompted one of the dark gods to sacrifice a part of his own body was weak!
Yet much to everyone's amazement, the Lady of the Night managed to avoid getting impaled by the three shards!
The reason for that wasn't because Cynthia had been able to summon enough power to repel the triple strikes by herself.
It turned out that another god-like entity had arrived to reinforce Lady Nyx's defenses at the last instant!
Many mech pilots and soldiers, particularly those that had joined the side of the Oblivion Empire, stalled for a moment.
"THE SUPERIOR MOTHER IS HERE!"
"Witness our courage, Supreme!"
"We shall smite your enemies on your behalf!"
Every former member of the Hex Army became invigorated as the Superior Mother personally manifested on this battlefield!
As soon as they regained their wits, they fought with greater motivation than ever before!
The Valkyrie mechs fighting against the Abyss troops even showed greater power as their glows received a substantial boost in their power!
The dark gods didn't care about all of that. Mortals were completely dispensable in their eyes. What mattered more was that another powerful entity had joined the Battle of Gods and Heroes!
