Xyrin Empire-Chapter 241 -
Chapter 241: 241
Chapter 241: 241
Just as I had guessed, Valimas was not familiar with his new power.
That powerful laser torrent he unleashed just now was not a simple sum of the hundreds of small laser cannons firing in concert. Even for me, it would be difficult to emerge unscathed from such a terrifying barrage. Yet Valimas foolishly split this effective attack into hundreds of parts, thinking he could block my escape routes. This alone proved that he had no clear understanding of this power, nor did he know the extent of his own strength.
More importantly, after I interfered with those laser beams using my spiritual power, Valimas was unable even to gather them back together, showing just how inexperienced he was in controlling his own power—after all, it was a force hastily enhanced through biochemical technology. No matter how extensive Valimas’s combat experience might be, it would surely take him no small amount of time to get accustomed to the power that had suddenly come into his possession.
This also revealed the weakness in the technology adopted by those Fallen Apostles—demons are not mechanical puppets that can be fitted with new equipment and downloaded with a driver, then immediately sent to the front line like old soldiers. For those unprecedented advanced weapons, they needed time to become familiar.
This was why those assembled demons were eradicated by us so swiftly. According to their strength, even if they could not defeat us leaders, they should not have fallen so utterly without achieving anything. The key reason for their misfortune was their inability to master their new powers. Despite having advanced Xyrin mecha at their disposal, they could not exploit this advantage and still habitually relied on their original combat experience. The power they could exert was probably not even half of the intended design’s capability, right?
However, I don’t think such defects will last long. Through this failure, the Fallen Apostles will surely identify these flaws and make rapid improvements. The Xyrin Technicians are the most insanely dedicated researchers and workaholics I’ve ever seen. Their research capabilities can almost be described as terrifying. Thanks to these formidable scientists, the Xyrin Empire’s rapid adaptability and development in wartime technology have always been called the universe’s most horrific nightmare by their enemies—and I have plenty of reasons to believe that the enthusiasm of those Fallen Xyrin Technicians, who have abandoned the last vestiges of sanity and humanitarian concerns, is even higher than that of the average Xyrin Technician.
When battling the Xyrin Empire Army, one must always remember: never delay, for with each day the war drags on, these tireless war machines grow exponentially stronger.
To describe it unpleasantly but in a way recognized by countless civilized races, Xyrin Apostles are a terrifying species that can multiply like locusts, evolve like viruses, and spread like plagues. If their terror were not only manifested in the war against the Abyss, such a dangerous race would probably have been exterminated by the gods long ago…
Cough cough, having such descriptors now applied to myself really puts me under a lot of pressure…
“Darn it!”
Watching his enemy looking at him with a mocking face, Valimas let out an angry roar. He tried to refocus the uncontrollable lasers, but that energy which should have been under his command was now completely disobedient. Gazing at the “Divine Race” in front of him, still maintaining an innocuous smile, Valimas felt again that sense of powerlessness like last time when everything about him was controlled by his adversary. The terrifying feeling of being completely mastered and manipulated by the other party surged like a tide, making even the mighty Fear Demon King feel waves of fear.
Why, why, even after having gained such tremendous power, am I still unable to withstand a single blow in front of him? Why are my attacks treated like toys by the enemy?
“Daydreaming right now isn’t a good idea.”
A sudden voice beside his ear caught Valimas off guard, and then, this veteran of many battles suddenly felt a tremor spread throughout his body, a sense of danger he had not felt in who knows how long.
It was that intense feeling of danger that comes only in the face of the most terrifying situations, between life and death, so strong that it made the pores on Valimas’s skin contract in an instant.
Even when he had been defeated by Sylvanas in the past, he had never panicked like this!
Years of battle instincts caused the old demon to immediately abandon the out-of-control laser matrix and swiftly dodge to the side, and almost at the same time, the uncontrollably malfunctioning micro laser cannon exploded without fail, turning Valimas’s already tattered bat wings into what might be more aptly described as a fishing net.
Valimas’s reaction was not slow, but even so, a fist covered in strange black patterns still hit his left arm solidly.
“Ah—”
Valimas let out a terrible howl, his eyes filled with horror as he saw that his left hand, simply struck by a small fist, was now starting to disintegrate into scattered black fragments from a small patch of skin where it had been hit, vanishing into the air. It wasn’t corrosion or simple tearing, but…

He didn’t know what this feeling was… it was as if his arm was being devoured by some sort of energy, assimilated into something else!
“Damn it! What did you do!?”
“You’d better figure something out quickly,” I stood leisurely opposite Valimas, hiding my right hand behind my back and shaking it violently. Damn it, was this old demon’s skin made of steel? My own arm almost fractured from punching him, “A hopeful estimate gives you one more minute before you say goodbye to this beautiful world, why don’t you take your last breath to pay this year’s party dues?”
“Curse it!” Valimas found that all his efforts were in vain, the normally infallible shadow energy was assimilated without any resistance when confronted with that unseen devouring force!
Just as I thought the opponent would turn to ashes in the face of this irresistible void energy, he showed me the determination and cruelty of an old demon.
With a violent motion, he grabbed his shoulder where his left arm used to be and, with a cruel resolve, tore his own arm off!
The filthy blood of the demon and the fragments of mechanical parts rapidly turned into energy fleeing in all directions, but Valimas was relieved to find that the terrible devouring had finally stopped.
The old demon’s appearance was as dreadful as one could imagine, with one arm severed at the shoulder, his massive bat wings tattered and hanging like a torn fishing net. His entire body was covered in black char marks from the satellite cannon, with filthy blood and metallic fragments mixed together, coating his entire upper half. It made the six-meter-tall demon look even more ferocious.
In all fairness, Valimas’s strength wasn’t weak at the moment. If he had performed normally, he might have been able to fight me, at least not fall so quickly. Unfortunately, he was too unfamiliar with the sudden surge of power he had acquired—at least, until now I hadn’t seen him use the Microspace Jump Avoidance System equipped on his body…
The old demon, covered in wounds, was panting heavily, staring at me with the one eye left after the modification surgeries as if he didn’t care one bit about his massive bleeding wounds.
It seemed this old guy was ready to fight to the death.
Noticing the ruthlessness and determination in his eyes, I too focused my attention. Although I knew he was no match for me, even a rabbit would explode with tremendous energy in a life-and-death struggle, let alone a powerful demon launching a desperate attack. I certainly didn’t want to be taken out in such a ridiculous manner.
“Kill—,” Valimas suddenly let out a resolute battle cry, and I immediately prepared to meet the assault.
Then…
Then this old thing actually turned tail and ran…
The shameless old creature! He actually ran away!
Sandora’s distant voice came through the Spiritual Connection:
“Demons hardly ever care about losing face. Did you really think a cunning demon would fight to the death like a hero against an enemy many times more powerful than him?”
Me: “…Alaya! Take him down!”
Valimas had never imagined that even after such severe injuries, he could still escape so swiftly. But that was not important; what mattered was that it seemed he had managed to flee to safety.
That god, he was too powerful! Just one punch, one single punch! He almost obliterated me with it. Probably only those Lords in Dark City could contend with such power. Yes, only they could. It wasn’t that he was looking for excuses for his failure; the enemy was truly too formidable. It was impossible for him not to fail!
These messy thoughts kept flashing through Valimas’s mind as he desperately sprinted forward, until all of a sudden, he felt an intense pain in his back.
He quickly turned around, taking a defensive stance.
Standing there was a stunning Angel engulfed in pure white light, massive wings gently flapping behind her. The longsword in the Angel’s hand, forged entirely from light, pulsed with the Holy Light Energy that made every Demon tremble in fear.
Alaya looked at the Demon ahead with an expressionless gaze, then, in a suddenly foolish and oblivious manner, bowed to him and said, “Hello, Lord Brother sent me to sneak attack you.”
Valimas: “…”
An odd thought suddenly crossed his mind: Could this Angel be brain-damaged?
As he was stunned by Alaya’s absurd behavior, a cylindrical Holy Light Barrier suddenly descended from the sky, completely trapping him in midair.
“Lord Brother also said, as soon as you’re caught off guard, trap you,” Alaya continued to explain kindly, then suddenly looked puzzled: “Why would Lord Brother know you’d be caught off guard?”
…Because your Lord Brother had already calculated your foolish behavior, you silly goose!!! Valimas screamed inwardly, trapped in the Holy Light Cage.
These Divine Race members are even more shameless than the fucking demons!
