Free Web NovelChapter 2479: Chapter 2480: Hidden Danger
Even though the current situation is unfavorable for the United Army, they are not too worried. In their eyes, with so many Divine Beasts present, victory, even a complete victory, is certain. The might of the Divine Beasts has been known for a long time. Even if the opposing side has the rumored Anti-Divine Beasts, it seems like a trivial matter to them.
But the reality is different. If it weren’t for the deployment of a large number of Divine Beasts to secure an expected victory this time, the outcome of this round of battle would be uncertain.
Even if Agunas remains unscathed, it may not have the ability to save ordinary people. In front of a full stack of Anti-Divine Beast Runes, ordinary people are powerless; it’s as if facing a top-level Divine Beast.
"It seems like we’re in a stalemate, but that’s normal. After all, the Anti-Divine Beast Runes themselves are powerful, it’s just..."
Noticing the passage of time, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but mutter. Although the Anti-Divine Beast Runes are strong, they are still far from matching Agunas’s strength. Of course, these are ordinary Anti-Divine Beast Runes; a full stack is different. Yet the image from before showed only one person using the Anti-Divine Beast Rune, so Feng Yuan initially assumed the opponent simply used them in a straightforward way.
At this moment, Feng Yuan noticed the abnormal distortion over the Bridge of Time and furrowed his brows. The probability that Divine Beasts would be unable to bear the consumption of crossing the Bridge of Time is exceedingly low. This means an exceptionally strong energy reaction occurred on the other side of the bridge to cause such a situation.
But wasn’t the opposite side using the Twisted Beimode Runes?
Such a strange situation naturally caught Feng Yuan’s attention, but because he could only learn through the television, and the scene switched back to the studio at this point, Feng Yuan couldn’t understand what was happening.
Simultaneously, the Divine Beasts unleashed their powerful ultimate moves, creating staggering force. Even in the Main World, doing so would cause significant damage to the surrounding space layer, let alone in the branch of time.
The collapse of space rules led to chaos in the Time Storm. With the disappearance of spatial concepts, the rules of time inevitably entered a chaotic state. If it were the real Twisted Beimode, it might not have been a big deal, for he could easily stabilize the time rules.
However, the runes did not have this capability. Or rather, even if they did, humans who wielded the runes lacked the abilities to control them to do so. It wasn’t just a matter of power, but also of how to control it.
The human soul cannot bear the analysis and control needed for the rules of time. Even if the Beimode Runes have the ability to control the rules of time, humans cannot use the runes to control them.
All Divine Beasts joined forces to completely shatter this space, not only disrupting the Time Storm’s structure but also affecting the Bridge of Time. In a small picture-in-picture window at the scene, everyone was shocked to find the Bridge of Time had become extremely unstable.
"This should be because their space collapsed, right? No, what are they doing?"
Feng Yuan rubbed his chin and watched the scene on television in confusion. He naturally knew what had happened, but that was precisely why he was puzzled. Would Agunas and others really break the space?
It should be known that besides attacking the Imperial Timeline, this operation’s most important goal was to establish a frontline base inside the Imperial Timeline. Thus, under normal circumstances, they shouldn’t damage the space. After all, if space is destroyed, how can they build a base?
The call from Qi Chen unsurprisingly came again. This time, Feng Yuan might just as well directly explain through the television screen. With Feng Yuan’s live commentary, Qi Chen and others more or less understood what was happening.
However, like Feng Yuan, they also didn’t understand what Agunas and others had encountered to cause such a situation.
"Hmph, are these really Divine Beasts? Destroying others’ world so easily, do they really deserve the divine title?"
The white-robed man confronting Agunas couldn’t help shouting loudly. With a sneer, Agunas summoned the Time River again, saying,
"For enemies, any means is justifiable!"
The Divine Beasts protected the United Army, preventing them from being swallowed by the collapsing space, but the Imperial Timeline wasn’t so lucky. The white-robed man could survive in this space rule collapse thanks to the Twisted Beimode Runes, but others could not.
Knowing he was the only one left, the white-robed man stopped shouting. This time, they had been too careless after all.
The phantom of Twisted Beimode howled to the sky, time’s power wreaking continuous havoc. Just as Agunas and the others once withstood an attack from the Imperial Timeline, the white-robed man couldn’t unleash his ultimate move here either.
No choice, this was their own territory, and the Twisted Beimode Rune’s final ultimate move was time erosion—a vile technique consuming the rune to release a plague that corrodes time.
Time corroded this way couldn’t recover and would transform into a unique state, neither life nor death, continuously eroding the surrounding intact time. Once, they used this effect, resulting in an entire area completely disappearing from all histories.
Had they not severed the time connections between regions in time, the Imperial Timeline might have already been riddled with holes from this attack.
This is also a side effect of Anti-Divine Beast Runes. After all, Anti-Divine Beasts were not born for order. Their existence aims to counter Divine Beasts and destroy, the ultimate destruction.
Even what he knows, the ultimate weapon hidden within several empires is a ferocious beast beyond control.
Although the Beimode Runes in the white-robed man’s possession counter Agunas, unfortunately, besides Agunas, there are many other Divine Beasts present. Thus, facing the joint attack of these Divine Beasts, the white-robed man could only defend bitterly before eventually being entirely wiped out, unwilling to concede.
"How troublesome."
Watching the Anti-Divine Beast Runes disintegrate and vanish, Agunas lightly flicked its tail, exhaling deeply. Although the opponent was human, they could withstand the onslaught of numerous Divine Beasts for so long. Perhaps, this expedition into the Imperial Timeline wouldn’t be as easy as expected.
"What should we do now? The space here has completely collapsed, but the bridge is anchored here. What should we do?"
A Divine Beast asked Agunas, as they could sense the presence of the Bridge of Time. However, due to the collapse of space rules, they currently couldn’t approach the bridge. Or rather, here, the so-called location is just a concept. They themselves couldn’t even confirm their actual position now, as space in this area has long ceased to exist.
"Let Gitalien come over; reconstructing space is not a problem for him. I’ll go find him. You all protect the United Army."
After a brief thought, Agunas proposed a solution. The other Divine Beasts didn’t object. Now with the collapse of space rules, aside from Agunas being able to leave by jumping timelines, movement was difficult for them.
It’s not entirely impossible, but since they also need to protect the United Army, leaving by special means wouldn’t allow them to take the United Army along.
So letting Agunas return to call in reinforcements was a good choice. After all, in terms of space repair, they could only think of Gitalien.
No choice. Unlike the Time Divine Beasts, perhaps because of the Time River, there are a few Beasts related to time. But regarding space, there’s only Gitalien and Kong Qing, created by Feng Yuan.
However, Kong Qing’s current strength clearly couldn’t shoulder the responsibility of reconstructing space.
Being approached by Agunas, Gitalien did not refuse. It knew about the United Army, but it had chosen to guard the Main World with Lorraine Tower and thus did not participate in this action.
As Gitalien appeared on the screen, news from the frontline gradually spread. However, for Feng Yuan, it wasn’t good news.
"Agunas and the others must have faced Anti-Divine Beast Runes stacked to the limit. Normally, reaching the stack limit consumes a large number of Anti-Divine Beast Runes. Their choice to do so proves there are many Anti-Divine Beast Runes in the East Continent Alliance Empire."
"In that case, I’m afraid... things will be tough."
Watching Gitalien crossing the Bridge of Time on TV, Feng Yuan sighed. On the other end of the phone, after hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Qi Chen and others were also shocked. The Imperial Timeline’s strength seemed much stronger than they had imagined.
"I hope establishing the frontline base won’t encounter any more troubles."
Glancing at the optimistic host, Feng Yuan felt that this operation might be extremely challenging.
