It is not easy to separate the scepter from the giant.
In fact, it would make Hao Ren feel easier to eliminate these two things at the same time - he has enough energy to solve this problem, but now he hopes to get the artifact intact, which makes him have to give up almost everything Heavy firepower will do.
He was even a bit restrained when using normal attacks, because every time the black giant received an attack, it would make the surrounding dark cracks and shadow army stronger.
"Boom!!" After another grand explosion, Hao Ren blasted away hundreds of shadow servants in front of the giant, and then opened a distance to face the huge enemy. The giant waved his deformed half body clumsily, roaring to this side, and in the roaring, more shadow monsters were continuously splitting from the dark field around him.
The battle had been going on for a while, and Hao Ren felt that his physical strength had begun to drain, but as the battle continued, his mentality became sharper, and a vague idea gradually became clear:
It seems that the giant is an out-and-out enemy. This corrupted and twisted Hercules has completely lost his sanity and humanity. However, his "characteristic" of splitting into shadow servants after being attacked seems suspicious: It was as if these dark and evil powers were not released by him, but had been imprisoned in his body all the time. When his limbs were damaged, these powers would leak out.
Otherwise, the giant would have released an army several times larger than it is now through methods such as self-mutilation.
This idea that appeared out of thin air lacks evidence, and it can almost be said to be wishful thinking. Under normal circumstances, Hao Ren should not place hope in such idealized things, but some kind of intuition similar to the sixth sense is strongly working, making him I can't help but believe that there is still a persistent soul in that huge dark and twisted body, perhaps it is this soul that maintains the giant's form and limits the number of shadow servants.
At this moment, the data terminal suddenly made a voice: "Partner, you are a demigod. Sometimes your intuition is not just intuition."
"Nolan, clear the field again!" Hao Ren gave an order to the high-altitude spaceship, and at the same time jumped up and rushed towards the opponent again, "All drones are free to shoot—except for the scepter, they can shoot anywhere !"
Huge explosions sounded continuously, and the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace activated a series of small sentry cannons on both sides of the ship—these turrets were already the least powerful weapons on the spaceship, and they were not even considered armed in the spaceship equipment sequence. These things are used to clean up space junk, but they are still good enough to have considerable effect on this kind of battlefield. A large number of shadow servants were smashed to pieces under the artillery fire, and even the dark rift around the giant shrank slightly.
At the same time, the drones and autonomous machines began to shoot at the giant's body—although this would cause more monsters to split, Hao Ren had already given the order, and the AI no longer had to worry about anything else.
Numerous black and red wounds exploded on the giant's body, and this terrifying monster whose physical strength was more than ten times stronger than that of the guardian staggered. For a while, Hao Ren was already approaching his feet.
As if a mouse was challenging an elephant, Hao Ren immediately became more aware of his small size when he rushed up to the huge limbs of the giant. However, he had already had many encounters with guardian giants like Muru, and this size difference brought The discomfort that came was quickly left behind, and he raised his head with only one target: the scepter inlaid on the opponent's chest.
The red crystal at the top of the scepter shone with an ominous light, and there was a black spot like a space crack in it, from which a crazy and evil breath leaked out, causing a wave of turmoil in his spiritual world as a demigod.
The closer they got, the clearer the strange aura in the crystal became. Hao Ren couldn't help being shocked: What the hell is this? It clearly has a power very similar to Vivienne, but why does it show such terrifying fluctuations
Of course, the giant immediately launched a counterattack. He tried to shake off the "bug" on his body, and a dangerous airflow with high temperature, high pressure and poison came out from the cracks in his skin. This was just the beginning, and soon the shadow The power of the fire diffused from all around, and countless shadow arrows appeared out of thin air, hitting Hao Ren's shield like a torrential rain.
Just when Hao Ren put up his shield and began to resist, he suddenly heard a fluttering sound of wings and a sharp cry, and a large group of bats appeared beside him, and these bats immediately blocked the giant's counterattack.
In just a few short breaths, he has come to a place less than three meters away from the scepter.
The scepter released a destructive force. Around it, space was broken, time was distorted, and the rules of matter almost disappeared. Hao Ren finally felt this in this position—he felt it next to the scepter. An aura similar to the big crack in the center of the Rift Nebula.
This is a phenomenon caused by a fierce conflict between the world rules of the two worlds.
Of course, the annihilation breath felt here cannot be compared with the Rift Nebula, but even if the scale is reduced countless times, they are still things of the same level in essence.
The giant seemed to feel the threat, or the scepter felt the threat and immediately stimulated its host—in short, Hao Ren felt a powerful energy reaction in the surrounding space, and the skin on the giant's chest was also covered by a dark red light. Cover up.
This seems to imply a powerful counterattack.
"Heracles!!" He pressed his hands hard on the giant's body, concentrating all his mental strength, "If you can still hear, try your best one last time!"
His previous "intuition" was quickly verified, because the giant's body stiffened imperceptibly for a moment.
This moment was quite short, but in this moment, Hao Ren felt that the negative power released by the scepter was also suppressed: the soul in the giant's body seemed to squeeze out all the remaining power, and finally won the initiative again.
In the next second, Hao Ren's hand was on the scepter, and almost at the same time, the scepter trembled violently, and the overwhelming negative force broke through the blockage again, and began to crazily erode everything around it.
Hao Ren almost felt that his body was about to lose control at that moment, but the part of his body that was protected by the goddess had an effect immediately, and the erosion of crazy ideas was temporarily blocked. The safe deposit box of the highest level of dangerous goods was taken out of the space, and then the scepter was pulled out from the giant's flesh and blood, and then thrown into the safe deposit box.
But at the moment when the safe deposit box was closed, he felt his world spinning.
The surrounding scenery shook rapidly, and various colorful colors filled the field of vision, followed by an endless sense of falling, and the whole person's spirit seemed to sink into the darkness and lost its response.
But the fall only lasted for a short time. Hao Ren suddenly woke up and found himself standing in a strange place.
A vast wilderness stretches as far as the eye can see, overgrown with weeds, two small rivers wind and flow in the wilderness, and finally converge into one place, looking up, the sky is clear and cloudless, the sun is shining brightly, and a majestic and mysterious mountain is suspended in the sky The sky, the mountain peaks are shrouded in clouds and light.
"When I first came back 'home', my stepmother cursed me in the most vicious terms, my blood brothers and sisters scorned me unabashedly, a few treated me with indifference, and My father, who sits on the golden throne, said to me, welcome home and leave no one else alone."
Hao Ren looked back in horror, and he saw a man standing behind him at some point, a tall and strong man with a rough appearance but a smile.
This man has light brown curly hair and a sharp-edged face. His figure is almost as muscular as Y'zaks', and his muscles bulge out from under the simple off-white short shirt, containing endless strength. There is a long scar on the face, which seems to represent a glorious battle.
Apart from that, there are no features or ornaments on him.
"Hercules?"
"It's me," the muscular man laughed, "After so much effort, we can finally meet and talk."
"This is your spiritual world?" Hao Ren looked around, "Hmm... I didn't expect your spiritual world to be so... robust."
"One last memory, I want to make it clearer."
Hao Ren frowned, "Do you have something to tell me?"
"Yes, about that 'artifact', about that core, and about your partner... I don't know how much you know about her, but you fought side by side, so I will tell you everything I know." (unfinished To be continued~^~)
