Chapter 2154 Bombardment
Whether they are the cavalry or not, the few dozen centaurs are all emitting an aura of destruction and death.
They are looking at the door of the building hatefully.
*BOOM* *BOOM*
Explosions rang as the beams were still being shot from the dome.
*SWOOSH*
They wielded their swords blocking every single attack that is coming their way. As the black mist completely disappeared, it is apparent that their speed has been reduced by a large margin. However, their attack was still as sharp and precise.
Icarus looked at them and frowned.
From all the way there, with the help of the Hub, he could sense the cultivation level of these centaurs. It should be considered a weird state to say the least. They are clearly emitting an aura that is of Peak of Divine Plane Transcendence.
But their strength and even the quality of that black-colored spiritual energy they are emitting is of Divine Plane Consummate stage initiation.
Icarus can understand why their strength is much higher. Many people can attain strength beyond their cultivation.
But the quality of energy shouldn't and become different no matter what as long as the person is alive.
He paused and looked at the centaurs once again closely.
"Are they undead?"
He muttered out loud, the question wasn't meant for anyone else. It was just for himself, however he heard a voice that he is kind of familiar with at that moment.
[The centaurs in the yard of the Hub are not the undead creatures. They are very much living.]
Along with the voice a small screen appeared in front of them. It showed the image of the centaur along with a bunch of text that accurately described what these centaurs are.
All the information it gave came from the database Sam collected.
He did prepare well when he left this place. Even including these kinds of features, but he forgot to inform Icarus of all these details. It could have made him feel at ease.
As he wondered, the screen revealed more and ore information.
[The Centaurs in the yard are genetically modified. Their cultivation is the same, but their strength is indeed different. It is genetically enhanced. Their cultivation was forced to enter that level. The shadow affinity was also forcefully enhanced and amplified.
From the initial analysis, we can find multiple DNA strands merged with the existing DNA.]
The voice paused, the screen expanded and soon there are a bunch of images of various beasts.
"These are the possible beasts' DNA that could have been used to merge."
That is the state of their strength.
At the same time, Tamas examined them a bit more and said.
"The black mass of energy… It doesn't belong to them originally. It was attached to them through those genetic modifications. And they might be the biggest reason for their higher strength. They are just lumps of genetic experimentation."
He had an expression of intrigue and amusement.
He has been doing his fair share of experiments regarding the bodies and genes of the creatures. But his experiments are focused on dead bodies. Still it is an interesting field.
On top of that, everyone else is also intrigued by this. Some of the most dreadful creatures assassins of this world turned out to be nothing more than genetically modified creatures.
"Can you tell us more about these creatures? What is their potential? How can we deal with it?"
Icarus asked.
The screen changed and it started showing a bunch of information.
[The centaurs have already stagnated in their growth. No matter how many years they cultivate, they wouldn't be able to get past their current stage of cultivation. There are twenty-seven approaches with the current stage of Hub's configuration to deal with these creatures.
All methods have varying possibilities.]
With that the screen shifted to show a set of tabular data.
There are different methods all named and the columns showed the steps followed in each method. The final column showed the probability of completely annihilating the crisis of the Shadow Cavalry.
The team looked at these things. Icarus was shocked, but the rest were more or less able to accept it. Sam did really invest a lot in this.
When he was still in Mortal Plane, as a Grand realm cultivator he was already fighting with Transcendent cultivators using the formations of a city.
With all the research progress he made and the new methods he discovered, it should be a given that he managed to create so many methods.
Icarus looked through the table and his eyes landed on one that looked most unbelievable.
The method was called 'Infinite Bombardment'
The probability of destroying the cavalry before it could even reach the doors of the Hub is 99%.
The only drawback for that is some property damage which would be automatically recovered in a few days.
He wanted to call bullshit on it as soon as he read it. However, he really wanted to see how it will work.
"I want to try this."
He asked the rest for their opinion. They just shrugged. He pursed his lips and clicking on it.
[Activating Infinite Bombardment.]
The feminine mechanical voice gave out the announcement. The dome that was shooting out the laser beams suddenly stopped. The next moment, the pillars that shot out to create the Light soul formation were also retracted.
The vision is back for the outsiders, albeit still blurry. The cavalry is confused by the sudden change.
But they didn't have a long time to revel in that confusion, because they were greeted by the shock next.
*CLUTCH* *KEEN* *HMM* *BANG*
Various metallic sounds spread from all over the compound. Multiple turrets of various sizes, blasters, guns all of different sizes, lengths, and lethality.
They all grew out of the ground, the wall of the gate of the hub and even the walls of the building itself. There are hundreds of them if not a thousand or more.
And that is not all. From the roof of the hub several spheres shot out and hovered all over the compound in the sky. They were all glowing with different elemental energies.
The cavalry felt a bad feeling creeping up their hearts. They immediately took control over their black mist once again and tried to turn ethereal. But at that moment.
*BOOM*
A gun that was on the wall of the hub's building shot out. It's bullet was around five inches long. There are over a thousand runes engraved on its surface as it glowed brighter with every passing centimeter.
As it reached close to the centaur nearest to it, the bullet transformed. It exploded and turned into a fire ball and it is not just an ordinary fire ball. Everyone inside the hub and also the centaurs could feel that the fire ball is of at least Divine Plane Transcendent level. At least late stage.
Alarm bells rang in the centaur's head. He hurriedly blocked the attack with his sword.
*BOOM*
The explosion was defended, but not completely. He was blown back because of the shock. *BANG*
Another bullet from a different gun. It was aimed at another centaur. When the attack was near the centaur, it exploded into an ice spear of similar level as the fire ball.
*RATATATATATATATATATA….*
Then began the rapid fire. Bullet after bullet. They rained over the centaurs that are spread out.
*SWOOSH* *BOOM* *BANG*
The bullets turned to various attack spells as they neared the targets. Some are basic spells like fire ball and ice spear. The only trouble with them is the sheer energy injected into that attack.
But there are complex spells as well. Like the phoenix charge. A fire elemental spell that shoots a consecutive stream of six attacks. All six attacks are conjured phoenixes. They are conjured purely out of fire.
They can be controlled by the wielder for a few minutes before they explode with utmost damage.
Right now, a turret that has six barrels is firing Phoenix charges at a regulated pace.
The cavalry soon noticed that they were being overwhelmed by just the sheer number. There is no technique, there is no restraining formation, nothing. They are just facing a lot of the attacks all of the different kinds.
And since the start of the attacks, they are unable to bring their mist back and merge with it. Their physical body is being attacked in this small gap.
*BOOM* *BOOM*
The attacks continued. The surroundings of the Hub are vibrating from the attacks and the force behind them. These tremors went as far as the city and the city center. They are that strong.
One of the centaurs dodged a few attacks and then ate the next few, all of it just to reduce a few guns into dust.
But as soon it broke a few weapons, the sphere in the air, floating over them, started vibrating. It opened up and a bunch of puppets flew out of it. They are all small bird puppets and they had inbuilt storage features as well as all the knowledge embedded in them
