Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 538 - 22: Madman, Gambler
Ancient Abominations.
These entities are different from other pollution bodies; these terrifying existences can be considered "stillborn Divine Spirits." Unlike ordinary evil beings, Ancient Abominations possess some semblance of a Divine Spirit’s authority.
Most Ancient Abominations in the Multiverse were born during the Ancient God Era, with some being living weapons created by deities in ancient times.
Within the Space-Time Monitor System, there is little information about Ancient Abominations. We can only confirm they are unnatural creations, often representing massive disasters, formed from highly concentrated negative consciousness. Their appearance invariably causes tremendous destruction and can sometimes lead to the downfall of an entire civilization.
The Ancient Abomination before Su Ziyu is certainly not a creation of the Ancient God Era, as his true identity is Edward I, the first Emperor of the Empire.
He had once established a powerful Empire and, after making the decision for ’Spiritual Ascension,’ led the entire Empire to collapse and ruin. It was then that Edward I transformed into a ghastly form, becoming a wandering ghost on this planet, a moving cataclysm, a terrifying incarnation, repeatedly bringing nightmares to the survivors of the Empire.
Rumble, rumble.
Within a gravity-twisting supernatural range, aircraft plummeted from the heaven. The Ancient Abomination in front of them displayed incredible telekinesis, capable of crushing an aircraft into a ball of scrap metal from a distance.
On the sturdy metal surface of the aircraft, clear and enormous finger marks could be seen, projections of telekinetic manifestation. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
——"Edward I [Ancient Abomination] [Chaos Consciousness]!"
A myriad of artillery fire descended.
In Su Ziyu’s vision, millions of energy beams assaulted the Ancient Abomination before them. Some were directly defended against by the Dark Energy Field, while others were dodged before they could land.
The target’s Mind Fold left no gaps; its figure was as elusive as a specter, each appearance like a burst of fire in the sky.
In the blink of an eye.
The aircraft in the sky were nearly gone, and the stooped, emaciated figure turned to the armored units on the ground, transforming into a stream of light descending from the heavens. With a massive explosion, it crushed a heavy tank underfoot, then remotely crushed another electromagnetic tank into a twisted hunk of iron, hurling it at a nearby armored car.
"There’s simply no chance of victory."
"Unless the Empire has prepared some secret trump card," muttered Su Ziyu.
Too strong.
The target’s Spiritual Energy seemed inexhaustible; he had never before seen someone who could directly crush a state-of-the-art aircraft into a ball of scrap metal with telekinesis.
"The target has entered the designated area!"
"Execute the second phase of the combat plan."
"Activate the super matrix suppression field!... Drop pods ready!..."
Buzz.
Just as the Ancient Abomination wreaked havoc within the armored units, a bizarre heavy machine emerged from underground ten kilometers from the battlefield. It quickly extended six metal supports into the ground, and an azure energy beam appeared at the central energy supply device.
Similar devices appeared in succession, and as the internal energy cores were activated, a visible light blue barrier suddenly enveloped the vicinity.
"Alert!... Alert!..."
"Unknown shielding field detected!... Conducting data analysis!..."
"Similarity with [Forbidden Magic Domain] is 75%!... Similarity with [Dimensional Lock] is 95%!..."
"Space teleportation abilities temporarily disabled!..."
This light blue barrier covered a considerable area, almost enveloping Su Ziyu as well. The surface of the entire barrier appeared as a hexagonal, translucent crystalline state, and as Su Ziyu reached out to touch it, he could even feel the substantial quality of the force field.
In the sky.
Fireballs flashed as silvery-white drop pods descended like meteors.
Almost the instant this unknown force field barrier fully closed, these drop pods hit the ground. In the center was a huge drop pod nearly fifty meters tall, with a mechanical cog emblem etched upon it. As the silver-gray doors opened on all sides, a massive, chestnut-red behemoth over thirty meters high slowly emerged in Su Ziyu’s sight.
——"Titan! [Interstellar Construct] [Lost Empire Creation]"
"The Titan has entered the battlefield."
"Activate the Void Furnace."
"Engage Dark Energy Shield Protection Barrier!... Activate Plasma Light Blade!... Ancient AI core activated!... Initiating automated combat mode!..."
Buzz.
A swath of azure light appeared at the chest of the massive Titan, and a visibly deep blue shield enveloped its vast chestnut-red body. A dazzling plasma light blade extended from its arm.
One by one, the drop pods opened.
In Su Ziyu’s vision appeared a large number of Empire Knights, alongside the Empire Guard he had seen before. He also spotted some knights bearing the mechanical cog emblem. These knights were clearly different from the Empire Guard, as some wielded scepters embedded with unknown crystals instead of Light Blades.
"The Bishop Order has reached the designated target point."
"Activate Mind Synchronization Device!... Mind Telepathy network connection!..."
"Spiritual Synchronization Resonance activated!..."
"Loading Mind Vision!"
A substantial Spiritual Light appeared in the eyes of those Empire Knights, and the Spiritual Ability Fields emanating from their bodies gradually formed an entity under the blessings of the Bishop Order, akin to a collective consciousness protection mental shield.
"Knights of the Empire!..."
Before the immense Titan, a tall woman fully clothed in blood-red armor stepped forward, her voice seemingly exuberant: "Three thousand years!"
"The Empire has been unable to break free from the shadows of the past, as it constantly reminds us that those bygone calamities shattered the Empire."
"It’s time to end it all."
"The Empire’s calamity will meet its end today!... Our people will greet a new beginning today!..."
Empress?
As the exuberant female voice rose, chaos erupted in the distant Empire command center. An elderly man dressed in black stood up angrily, roaring, "Can someone tell me?"
"Why is Empress Isabella on the battlefield?"
The entire command center fell into a deathly silence. After a while, a middle-aged nun stepped out slowly, calmly saying, "It was the Empress’s own decision."
"If she dies in battle."
"The throne will be inherited by her nephew, Prince William."
