Chapter 654

One should not confuse the earth element with the G.o.d 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, w.a.n.g Tong and his caster companions had already traveled to the source of Saturn's power . In addition to the seven casters that accompanied w.a.n.g 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 s.h.i.+eld . Everyone was stunned by his display of strength .  

"It's about time…Let's start!" w.a.n.g 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 . w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Tong's soul essence closely .

Earthquake!

When all the casters' soul energy was in sync, w.a.n.g 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 s.h.i.+ps lower your att.i.tude right now!" Samantha ordered a command .

As the human s.h.i.+ps 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 alt.i.tude .

The rogue energy bashed and gnawed at the s.h.i.+p, so the captains had to crank up their s.h.i.+eld levels, draining a ma.s.sive amount of their finite energy resources .

"Admiral, it's too dangerous! Our s.h.i.+eld 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 s.h.i.+p'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 s.h.i.+eld started to waver .

Samantha didn't speak a word as the s.h.i.+ps 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 s.h.i.+p started to recharge as rapidly as they had been drained . The soldiers looked out of the window and noticed that they had pa.s.sed 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 s.h.i.+ps were reduced into useless s.p.a.ce 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 s.h.i.+p 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 w.a.n.g Tong?" Xiao Se murmured incredulously .

"Yes, this is his work . He is the savior of mankind . "

"The G.o.d 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 s.p.a.ce to chase down the surviving Zerg s.h.i.+ps . Some Zerg s.h.i.+ps 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 s.h.i.+ps 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 s.h.i.+ps 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 pa.s.s up the opportunity to avenge their loved ones . Even General Li Hong and Xiao Se had joined the scramble .  

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Tong and the other casters had fallen asleep on the s.h.i.+p . 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 s.h.i.+mmer 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 s.h.i.+ps 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 w.a.n.g Tongs' real intentions; however, it was still not enough to prevent the tragedy . He finally conceded that w.a.n.g 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, w.a.n.g 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: w.a.n.g 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 .

"w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Tong reach the moon . "

"w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Tong's strategies .
