Chapter 780 780: Onslaught
In a synchronized display of power, the multinational forces launched their assault at the precise moment, a hail of bullets and missiles hurtling towards the dark-robed beings hovering in the sky. Many held their collective breath as the projectiles closed in on their targets.
Explosions echoed through the atmosphere as the ordnance struck the target, unleashing a storm of destruction. The dark-robed beings, who had seemed invulnerable, were engulfed in flames and smoke. The sky lit up with a dazzling display of firepower as the assault continued relentlessly.
While the firing continued, roaring engines of fighting jets responded as multiple fighter planes could be seen coming from the distance, using even heavier fire at the Target to leave no room for escape.
Amidst the chaos, everyone in the command centers around the world waited with held breaths.The situation was tense and not a single person spoke a single word.
****
The sound of constant gunfire responded repeatedly.
Even if the dark-robed beings were gods, it was clear that they couldn’t get out of this unharmed without substantial damage,
The climax of the operation arrived as the remaining missiles, bullets, and energy blasts converged on the dark-robed beings. The sky kept erupting in a blinding display of light and fire. For a few moments, it seemed as if the very fabric of reality was torn asunder.
After a long time, the General finally gestured for his men to stop. The deafening roar of weapons stopped.
When the smoke and debris started clearing, the world held its breath once more, waiting to see if their desperate, synchronized assault had been enough to destroy these beings. Since nobody fell from the cloud of flames, many thought that their bodies had turned to ashes thanks to this much firepower.
But as the smoke dissipated, a faint glow emerged from the wreckage, revealing the unmistakable presence of the beings they had sought to eliminate.
Their ethereal forms flickered with an otherworldly energy, seemingly untouched by the onslaught. A collective gasp echoed through the ranks of the soldiers, who now faced an even greater threat than before.
“How… is this possible?” The General exclaimed in disbelief. Let alone being killed, these people didn’t have a single scratch on their bodies.
They were still standing high in the sky with arms folded around their chest as if they didn’t even notice the childish attacks of the humans. Even their clothes were perfectly fine with a single tear.
“What’s the update?” A cracking noise came from the transmitter.
The General subconsciously picked it up. “We are screwed…”
Ezekiel opened his eyes, a desolate sigh escaping his lips. “He didn’t show up… Did I expect too much from him?”
He had thought that Janus was going to show up. If not him, then at least the person who took the cure from him was going to show up. But none of them appeared.
“Did they find out…” Ezekiel muttered, glancing at the ring on his finger. His expressions remained incomprehensible.
“If they’re not showing up, then I’ll make them.” He raised his right hand, clenching his fist. The sky became even darker. Every single person on earth felt the surroundings become even colder, making them shiver. At the same time, they also felt a strange fear deep within.
The dark robed beings opened their eyes. Their gaze fell on the soldiers. The time was finally up. Ten minutes were over.
As the dark robed beings slowly descended, a sense of unease washed over the soldiers. Some frightened soldiers couldn’t control their nerves and started shooting without command.
Unfortunately, their bullets couldn’t harm them. Let alone harm them, they couldn’t even touch these beings. The bullets kept stopping a few feet away from the dark robed men.
It was as if there was some invisible barrier that was protecting them. But even worse was that the bullets didn’t fall to the ground after being blocked.
All the soldiers watched with horrified expressions as their bullets were sent flying back toward them. The situation quickly turned chaotic as the soldiers scrambled to avoid their own bullets.
Unfortunately, the bullets were now even faster and stronger. Even when a bullet hit a bullet proof vest, it wasn’t stopped. Leaving a hole in the bullet proof vest, the bullet passed through the soldiers bodies. Some even had a hole left in their head.
This was just the start of the slaughter.
As Earth faced an imminent attack, the identity of the person Ezekiel was searching for remained unknown. Furthermore, the whereabouts of this person were also shrouded in mystery, leaving everyone perplexed.
At that moment, they wanted to know his location just so they could tell it to the intruders and save their lives. Unfortunately, no one knew where he was.
While everyone wanted to know Janus’ whereabouts so they could hand him over to Ezekiel, Janus wasn’t even on earth. He had left somewhere with Ryder and even Ryder’s family didn’t know where they went.
Although it was conveyed that the mansion was empty, in reality, there were still a few people inside the mansion.
Caen was still inside the mansion, looking out the window at the dark sky. He understood that these people were here for him as well. Unfortunately, his strength still hadn’t recovered. He was still as weak as ever.
Janus and Ryder weren’t here either, which made him curse the timing. He didn’t know what to do as people of earth were being attacked. And he could feel that one of the enemies was nearby.
Behind him, Ryder’s wife and Nyx were inside the mansion as well. Nyx wanted to go out to help since he still had his strength.
Just like Caen was the son of Chaos, Nyx was the son of Ryder who had inherited his father’s Strength. Just like Chaos, his father was also very strong, if not the strongest person he knew.
Unfortunately, Nyx was being held back by his mother who felt worried and didn’t want him to go out until Ryder returned. She didn’t know why, but she felt that if she let her son leave, he might
never return.
