Chapter 1965: Shelter Damaged
Tianhe City.
The writhing blood-and-flesh clouds blotted out the sky. Between the gloomy heaven and earth, countless tall juvenile 【Black Goat】 creatures surged through the city.
These juveniles appeared as hybrids of trees and goats, with stout trunks reaching over a hundred meters high. Crimson eyeballs covered their entire bodies, while countless tentacle-like branches whipped wildly about, shredding surrounding buildings into fragments. A dozen goat hooves supported each juvenile's massive body as they charged forward at terrifying speed!
Building foundations were smashed through, and collapsing towers filled the air with dust. Dense residential areas crumbled like foam before these monsters. Car alarms wailed incessantly into the sky. What had been a bustling, prosperous city center was trampled into ruins in the span of a heartbeat.
Between the dark clouds, a single crimson giant eye gazed down at everything unfolding below.
"Destroying these things is useless." In the midair, a black figure strolled while scrolling on his phone, speaking casually as he walked across empty air. "They're all in underground shelters. You need to dig them out."
Among the blood-and-flesh clouds, a tentacle gestured in a certain direction, and below, the surging juvenile tide immediately split into three streams. Each stream consisted of a thousand juveniles, charging straight toward three different areas of the city.
Guided by the 【Black Goat】, these juveniles quickly located the shelter's position and flattened the surrounding buildings almost instantly.
They planted themselves on this field of ruins. Tens of thousands of tentacle-branches drilled into the earth, piercing through solid concrete and bedrock. An astonishingly large hole rapidly took shape!
As these 【Black Goat】 juveniles continued digging, the pit grew deeper and deeper, until the top outline of a massive shelter was gradually exposed to the air.
Dense tentacles coiled around the shelter's surface, pulling it bit by bit from the underground. Some tentacles were directly probing for weaknesses in the structure, attempting to breach the shell and enter within. But this pixelated shelter was like a seamless boulder—there was simply no gap to exploit.
Just as these juveniles desperately searched for a breakthrough point, dazzling light suddenly blazed from the shelter. Intricate structures unfolded beneath the radiance, resembling complex and mysterious patterns. Then, a spatial fluctuation rippled out from around the shelter!
"Oh?" In the distance, 【Chaos】 seemed to sense something and looked over in surprise.
Vroom—!
The next moment, the shelter wrapped in countless tentacles vanished into thin air.
Over a thousand juveniles remained in the deep pit, their crimson eyes scanning the surroundings, seemingly bewildered...
"Still had something saved up?" 【Chaos】 stepped forward and arrived directly above the pit, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Point-to-point teleportation, with traces of the Earth's origin... Hehe, that kid is indeed interesting."
In the sky, within the writhing blood-and-flesh clouds, a tattered figure was suddenly vomited out—appearing stitched together from corpses, with crimson eyeballs growing all over its body.
It was originally the Chief God of the Egyptian Sun City that had been destroyed by Great Xia's Heavenly Court: the god of death, "Nephthys."
Nephthys's rotting lips parted slightly, and an eerie tone emerged:
"Your plan has failed, 【Chaos】."
"Failed? No, no, no..." 【Chaos】 shrugged. "These little tricks might work on your foolish children here, but they won't do anything to me... You just send three Chief Gods to follow my instructions. I guarantee the next one won't escape."
In the sky, the writhing clouds paused briefly before regurgitating three more figures—also Chief God corpses from the destroyed Sun City: the wind god "Shu," the earth god "Geb," and the sky god "Nut."
Under the 【Black Goat】's control, the three Chief Gods flew directly south. Chief Gods traveled far faster than the juvenile tide, vanishing from sight in an instant.
【Chaos】 unhurriedly lifted his phone and checked it. As expected, the trending topics were already filled with discussions about the massive earthquake in the north. However, it seemed no one realized it was an enemy attack... This somewhat disappointed 【Chaos】, who had been hoping to cause panic.
"Tsk... It doesn't matter. A grand show always needs to build up before the climax." 【Chaos】 grinned. "Soon, the good show will begin..."
The 【Black Goat】-controlled Nephthys glanced at 【Chaos】 still scrolling on his phone.
"You love the internet so much, why don't you start your own livestream?"
"My platform's real-name verification didn't pass. Can't open one." 【Chaos】 said helplessly.
【Black Goat】：...
The three Chief Gods swept across the horizon, flying beyond Tianhe City's borders. Over uninhabited wilderness and mountain ranges, they traveled south until they soon stopped above a shelter near the suburbs.
This location was not far from the main army's direction of advance. Just a few dozen kilometers ahead lay Beibin City—the shelter currently closest to the Cthulhu Faction's massive army.
As the earth god Geb raised both hands, the barren earth quivered violently. A jagged crack split open from the surface, revealing the shelter outline that previously would have required numerous juveniles to excavate.
The sky god Nut stepped forward, and the massive shadow deeply embedded in the earth slowly drifted upward.
This superstructure that housed nearly a million people was hundreds of meters tall, its footprint comparable to three Gymnasiums stitched together. Its pixelated surface was complex and mysterious. As this shelter floated upward, it resembled a mountain lurking underground being forcibly uprooted and carried into the sky!
Even for the sky god Nut, controlling such a massive building to rise was quite straining. His body, covered in crimson eyeballs, trembled slightly, as if about to fall apart at any moment.
Fortunately, the wind god Shu on the other side intervened in time, manipulating the wind to relieve some of the pressure. Only then was Nut able to keep it steadily suspended in the air without wobbling.
But whether it was Geb parting the ground or Nut controlling the shelter's ascent, every movement was extremely careful. Not a single part of the shelter was damaged, and even the residents inside barely felt anything. The 【Weiyang】 inscribed within the shelter was not triggered.
"And then?" In the distance, Nephthys's hoarse voice asked.
【Chaos】 stood in midair, glanced at the massive structure floating on the surface, then casually raised one finger and gently pointed through the air.
The space above the shelter twisted abruptly, as if an invisible finger had pierced through the void and forcefully pressed against the shelter's surface!
Sensing the attack, dazzling light immediately blazed from the shelter's surface. But before 【Weiyang】 could teleport the shelter away, the shattered space directly shattered the glowing patterns!
BOOM—!!
With a deafening roar, a massive gap was exposed to the air!
