The power of gray fog controlled by Gray Eye showed terrifying dominance in front of the Annihilation Legion.
With Jiang Qiao's assistance, half of the members of the Annihilation Legion that invaded the Sanctuary of Eternal Sustainability fell into the abyss of power runaway.
They were dragged into the world of consciousness by Gray Eyes to fight against the incarnation of their own power, and this struggle will last for a long time.
Gray Eyes single-handedly slowed down the invasion of the entire Annihilation Legion, which also proved to the players that as the ruler of the Eternal Sanctuary, he possessed strength far beyond that of Alma the Gunner.
During this period, the players' roles were to add fuel to the fire and serve as spectators. When the Annihilation Legion couldn't defeat Gray Eyes, the players would give the Annihilation Legion's soldiers a sip or two of healing power. And when the Annihilation Legion's soldiers wanted to suppress Gray Eyes' gray fog, the players would turn around and help Gray Eyes fight against the Annihilation Legion.
Under the restraint of the Holy Spirit, the two sides formed a very strange balance. Gray Eyes restored his health by devouring the power of the Annihilation Legion soldiers, while also reducing the number of Annihilation Legion soldiers.
The Holy Spirit took advantage of this time to deepen his understanding of his own power.
The commanders of the Annihilation Legion and Gray Eyes were not stupid either. They also tried to communicate and negotiate, wondering whether they should get rid of those annoying Holy Spirits first.
Their negotiations were successful, but the final outcome was failure. Either Gray Eyes backstabbed the Annihilation Legion, or the Annihilation Legion backstabbed Gray Eyes.
Gray Eyes thought again and realized that this group of Holy Spirits actually had far less impact on the existence of the Eternal Sanctuary than the Annihilation Legion. The Holy Spirits were trying to steal people, while the Annihilation Legion was trying to ruin the place. So Gray Eyes began to focus on fighting against the soldiers of the Annihilation Legion.
This strange battlefield balance lasted for almost five days. During these five days, Sprite and Roche had been trying to break through the teleportation lock of the Eternal Sanctuary through various means.
But they all failed... The core of the sanctuary is Gray Eye's last defensive position. No matter whether it is the Annihilation Legion or the Holy Spirit, once they step into it, the degree of power outage will be so high that it will destroy flesh and blood.
But the situation on the battlefield changed a little today, that is... the Annihilation Legion rescued Thorne!
“Has it started yet?”
Thorne curled up alone in the corner of the prison. During this time he could hear the sounds of war coming from outside. But even if the soldiers of the Annihilation Legion killed the prison guards and banished all the restrictions that blocked Thorne.
He also chose to curl up in the corner and not move.
"Eternal, it's time for you to work!"
The one who rescued Thorne was another leader of the Annihilation Legion. He was not as polite to Thorne as Diris was. He threw the equipment that Thorne used in the Annihilation Legion to him and then gave him orders.
"Yes, yes, I know why you come here, but are you sure you want to wake that guy up?" Thorne glanced at the Annihilation Legion's heavy armor and black sword thrown at the prison door.
With this equipment, there is only one person in the Eternal Sanctuary who can be his enemy, and that person is not Gray Eyes.
But Thorne was not in a hurry to start work. He didn't want to disobey the ideas of the Annihilation Legion, he just wanted to confirm... Is the Annihilation Legion really ready
"What do you think? Eternal... We sacrificed the power of an entire legion just for today!" said the legion commander.
"Your words are useless. Call your boss." Thorne waved his hand helplessly and said, "I want to hear from your boss whether he is ready."
"Our...you are just a down-and-out Eternal! You are not worthy of meeting the great Lord of Annihilation!" The commander of the Annihilation Legion thought he had a good temper, but was successfully angered by Thorne's words.
"The answer is no? Then maybe I should ask the Holy Spirit over there what the decision is," said Thorne.
“The Holy Spirit?”
While the legion leader was still wondering where the Holy Spirit came from...
"Dragon Slash!"
Caramel rushed out from the shadows in an instant, and the Sprite behind him mercilessly released his awakening as an ice master, turning the prison into an extremely cold hell.
This was a squad from the Annihilation Legion. Even though they had a legion leader, they were still repelled by the 45-man dungeon raiding team led by Sprite.
Finally, Thorne sat in the prison that had turned into an extremely cold hell...looking at the gathering of holy spirits.
"Hey, I'm here to save you." Caramel kicked down the prison wall and said to Thorne, who was still sitting inside and looked like he hadn't woken up at all.
"It's much later than I expected. You, the Holy Spirit, possess the power to break everything. All the defenses of the Eternal Sanctuary should be paper-made." Thorne's words made Caramel furious again.
But Thorne stretched out his hand and caught the flaming sword thrown by the fire spirit beside him...
"Then the same question, Holy Spirit...are you ready to face that guy?" Thorne's gaze passed over the people in the Holy Spirit and fell on the Fire Spirit that was Jiang Qiao's incarnation.
Jiang Qiao is undoubtedly a person of the same level as the Lord of Annihilation.
"What did you say? Who is that guy? Gray eyes? We are not ready for Gray eyes yet. Give us another half a year." Jiang Qiao responded.
"Gray Eyes? That guy is just a pathetic bug controlled by power. Alma has joined forces with you, right? Why didn't she tell you?" Thorne asked with some confusion and gave an answer that made Jiang Qiao's expression a little solemn.
Gray pupil is just a chess piece? Jiang Qiao had expected this, but he didn't expect Thorne to point it out so directly...
"The Holy Spirits are not ready yet, and neither are we. We just can't let her continue... to assimilate the Eternal Sanctuary. Thorn, you should personally end all the causes and consequences you have created."
The projection of the sharpshooter Alma suddenly appeared in the prison, and she seemed to be prepared for everything.
"I can't end it. I don't have the ability to do so. The Annihilation Legion has it, and the Holy Spirit may also have it. It depends on whether they are willing to be Star Map Peace Ambassadors." Thorne said.
"Wait wait wait, what are you guys talking about? I want to know all the hidden plots within one minute!"
Jiang Qiao, who was in the Fire Spirit state, directly intervened in the conversation. What the players in the Sprite team saw was that Jiang Qiao chose this somewhat rough option.
"Every Void Zerg has their mother. The Zerg Queen who has assimilated the entire Eternal Sanctuary is sleeping in the core of the sanctuary. She will wake up soon." Alma the Gunner directly summarized the beginning of a new expansion pack in one sentence.
"Pig-headed Thorne, why don't you let that thing continue to sleep?"
McCafé stood up and expressed his opinion. Since the insect queen was so troublesome, why not just let her continue sleeping
"She was absorbing the power of the Sanctuary while she was sleeping. The sooner she wakes up, the weaker she will be and the easier to deal with. Unfortunately... even if she wakes up now, she will be a troublesome enemy. Let me think of an adjective." Thorne scratched his stubbled chin and said, "The most dangerous natural disaster since the emergence of Order on the Star Map? This adjective seems very appropriate."
"How long do we have to prepare?"
Jiang Qiao now feels like he is just completing daily tasks and doing side quests every day. Today he helped the old lady take care of the garden, and tomorrow he has taken a task to deliver a letter.
Then suddenly an NPC popped up and said, "Holy Spirit, hurry up and do the main quest, or the world will be destroyed!"
Jiang Qiao's answer was, of course, "I won't! I'd rather kill chickens in the Novice Village until the next generation of this game is released than do the main story!"
But the gaming experience of Holy Spirit is terrible. There is always someone forcing players to trigger the dangerous main line, and there is never enough time.
"My suggestion is to wake her up first, and then make preparations." This was Thorne's reply. "Of course, no one will stop you from leaving here. After all, saving the Star Map is the responsibility of the Sanctuary of Creation, not the God of the Devouring God of Natural Disaster."
The second half of Thorne's words was clearly a mockery of Alma...Alma was now struggling to survive under the protection of the Extermination Unit, and even needed to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to fight against Gray Eyes.
What a irony this is for an organization that claims to be the most sacred in the star map.
"Can you...can you remove the teleportation restrictions on this map?" Nancy from the team suddenly came out and asked Thorne.
Nancy was terrified by the war between the Annihilation Legion and the Sanctuary of Sustainability during this period. She stayed next to her baby every night before going to bed, fearing that the Annihilation Legion would break into the breeding center and something might happen to her baby.
As long as the baby is returned safely, Nancy doesn't mind beating anyone!
"Transmission restrictions? Did Gray Eyes open the space-time lock device? Of course... The place we need to go is the core of the sanctuary!"
After Thorne's answer, Jiang Qiao felt that he might not have many choices left.
Anyway, this expansion pack will be released sooner or later, it’s just a matter of time.
