Chapter 2408: The Decisive Battle (XVI)
Essence Supreme, Grand Supreme, and Radiance Supreme coldly chuckled.
“And here I thought they had something ready. This was all it was.”
“The gap is too great. We were the ones who gave the Arabian Empire the Behemoth Creation Art. How could they hope to use these lower-class lifeforms against the Doomsday Behemoths?”
The Great Tang trying to use this technology against them was like the apprentice trying to show off in front of the master.
Essence Supreme had been initially rather worried about what Wang Chong might do with the Behemoth Creation Art, and he had even sent some of his men to investigate. Unfortunately, Wang Chong was too good at keeping secrets.
Essence Supreme had not been able to gather any useful information over the last three years.
But these turned out to be groundless fears. It was not something they had owned, and so it would never be theirs.
“What is going on here?”
In the center of the army, Wang Zhongsi saw what had happened and instinctively glanced at Dalon Trinling.
Suspicious people were not used, and those people who were used were not to be suspected. Not even Wang Zhongsi had known that Wang Chong had left these things to Dalon Trinling.
Even so, Wang Zhongsi knew that Wang Chong had been planning for three years, and the result of the Behemoth Creation Art could not have been just this one Behemoth.
“Even I didn’t think that this defective product would be this useless, not even able to take one attack.”
Dalon Trinling casually chuckled.
“Defective products?”
Wang Zhongsi’s heart thumped, instantly picking out the information in Dalon Trinling’s words.
“Mm, time was short, and it seems that the processes on that day were not completed, so these defective products were sent over early,” Dalon Trinling said.
Roooar!
Wang Zhongsi wanted to ask more when another roar came from the rear of the army, immediately drawing his attention.
Not long after the first King Ape had been torn apart, another giant figure plunged out of the skies and landed atop a Doomsday Behemoth.
Everyone could clearly see that this was another hairy King Ape, though it was larger, its bunched muscles appearing like tough stones, bursting with even greater and more explosive strength.
More importantly, unlike the first King Ape, this one was wearing thick metal armor.
The King Ape originally possessed formidable defensive power, and its defenses were even greater with this thick metal armor.
Bang!
The moment the King Ape appeared, it immediately swung its giant metal cudgel at the Doomsday Behemoth’s body.
And things were only just getting started.
Awooo!
The moment the first armored King Ape appeared, more and more King Apes leaped into the air, launching themselves at the Doomsday Behemoths!
Thudthudthud!
In less time than it took to take a single breath, the Doomsday Behemoth that had plunged deepest into the human lines was assailed by at least twenty enormous King Apes.
The moment these King Apes appeared, they began to crazily attack the Doomsday Behemoths.
Awoooo!
A King Ape opened its mouth and savagely bit at the head of a Doomsday Behemoth.
Another King Ape tensed its muscles, reached its hairy and steely arms deep beneath a giant scale, and then used its immense strength to tear it away.
This force made the Doomsday Behemoth howl in pain.
More King Apes landed on this Doomsday Behemoth, and through various methods, whether it was their jaws, claws, or weapons, crazily attacked the Doomsday Behemoths.
The Doomsday Behemoths were exceptionally strong killing machines that could destroy entire empires, but that was only true when it came to ordinary human armies.
These King Apes were weapons of war, and the Arabian Empire had used similar Behemoths to destroy numerous empires.
Several dozen of these exceptionally strong King Apes attacking these Doomsday Behemoths all at once would present a serious threat, even for these world-destroying creatures.
Roooar!
Under the assault of several dozen King Apes, a Doomsday Behemoth began to crazily sway back and forth while yowling in pain.
Even though all nine of its heads were frantically counterattacking and had already killed seven or eight of the King Apes, with some of the King Apes having been injured by the flames, the King Apes were much tougher than ordinary humans.
Moreover, their thick armor also proved somewhat effective in limiting the damage.
Their large bodies allowed for their armor to have all kinds of defensive inscriptions and formations upon it, several dozen times what could be found on the suits of armor worn by ordinary soldiers.
And while numerous King Apes died to the counterattacks of the Doomsday Behemoths, even more King Apes were emerging from the rear of the army, shooting like cannonballs at the Behemoths.
More and more of the Doomsday Behemoths were assailed by large numbers of King Apes.
The berserk attacks of the King Apes made it seem like a giant wall had appeared in the middle of the battlefield, grinding the advance of the eight Doomsday Behemoths to a halt.
The King Apes’ attacks were also beginning to show their effect. With a scream, a giant scale was pulled from the surface of a Doomsday Behemoth by several King Apes, and blood gushed out.
Essence Supreme, Grand Supreme, Radiance Supreme, and the numerous Fallen were all struck dumb by this sight.
“These Behemoths are extremely difficult to produce! How did they create so many!?”
Seventy-some King Apes would have been nothing to Essence Supreme and would have been incapable of affecting the battle.
But the number of King Apes they were seeing far exceeded this number. Not even the Celestial God Organization was capable of this.
This was something they had not envisioned before the start of this war.
“No, it’s not impossible,” Radiance Supreme suddenly said, his expression grave. “If they obtained a greater understanding of the Behemoth Creation Art than us and had enough resources, they could do something like this.”
As he spoke, Radiance Supreme glanced at Essence Supreme.
Hearing this, Grand Supreme seemed to realize something, and deeply frowned.
Essence Supreme was responsible for everything in the Celestial God Organization concerning the Behemoths. If these words were true, it would mean the Child of Prophecy had surpassed Essence Supreme in this aspect.
In the past, they would have treated this as a joke and laughed it away.
But now, all of them knew that the Child of Prophecy came from another world. Surpassing Essence Supreme was not impossible.
He had far too many unknown variables.
Essence Supreme said nothing. He naturally understood what the two of them were implying, but this was not the time to think about such things.
This many King Apes was enough to pose a major threat to the Celestial God Organization and the Celestial Army. If they weren’t stopped now, the Doomsday Behemoths, the Celestial Army, and the Celestial God Organization would be greatly impeded.
Essence Supreme’s eyes coldly glinted as he suddenly ordered, “All Archaic Celestial Army soldiers, hear my order! Work with the Doomsday Behemoths to deal with those King Apes.”
In the Celestial God Organization, only the Archaic Celestial Army soldiers had sizes similar to the King Apes and had immense strength. Thus, they were the only available force capable of stopping the King Apes.
Buzz!
Essence Supreme’s will was carried along an invisible ripple of Psychic Energy across the entire battlefield.
A few moments later, the front line shifted once more.
“Killkillkill!
“The Great Tang is invincible!”
Furious roars came from behind the King Apes, and a few moments later, armored figures wielding giant swords emerged from the Tang ranks.
These soldiers were all tall and muscular. The moment they appeared, they ignored the fighting going on around them and advanced on the eight enormous Doomsday Behemoths.
Behemoth Slayers!
At this crucial moment in the battle, the Great Tang had mobilized its Behemoth Slayers.
Bang!
A Behemoth Slayer hefted his giant sword, his eyes steely with resolve. Looking at the Doomsday Behemoth before him, he jumped off the ground with the force of a cannonball.
Behind him, more Behemoth Slayers jumped into the air toward the Behemoth.
Ever since the Great Tang had united the continent, the Behemoth Slayer Division had lost its meaning for existence. This was because the Arabian Empire’s Behemoth Army had been completely exterminated.
However, rather than disbanding the Behemoth Slayers, Wang Chong had added to their number, even setting up a special Behemoth Slayer Army. But while it was called an army, the Behemoth Slayers had extremely strict requirements. Thus, the number of soldiers in this army had yet to reach eighty.
Bang!
The Behemoth Slayers landed on the bodies of the Behemoths.
Roooar!
These were all tall and imposing figures, each of them two meters tall, and among them, Invincible Great General Li Siye stood out the most.
He was wearing heavy armor, and the giant Wootz Steel sword in his hand was brilliant and dazzling. Even on this packed battlefield, he was a dazzling existence.
“Everyone, with me!”
Li Siye’s voice resounded like a bell through the battlefield.
Fwoosh!
As Li Siye spoke, he thrust his Wootz Steel Sword into a Behemoth head.
The Doomsday Behemoths were enormous and tougher than steel. Many powerful techniques were of limited effectiveness on their massive bodies.
But ‘difficult to defeat’ did not mean ‘impossible to defeat’!
For Li Siye, no matter how much time he needed or how great the price, so long as he could kill these Behemoths, he could endure anything.
