<h4>Chapter 1485: Dirty Bomb</h4>
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Thanks to the “assistance” extended by Kronos, the Titans’ noisy entrance created a distraction. Half of the demon hunters had left the light-path tform, and another master, who was amander, managed to move with his team to the frontlines, significantly reducing the strength of the remaining guards on the tform.
However, Hao Ren did not rush out recklessly. He silently perceived the shockwaves, which wereing from afar and calcted the situation of the battle between the demon hunters and the Titans.
The demon hunters were undeniably powerful. As a synthesized race, they were born with a natural talent that gave them an advantage over many conventional races. But that did not mean that they were invincible. While demon hunters had differentbat strength levels, among the otherworldlings that they had annihted were many powerful fighters.
When ordinary demon hunters fought with the war machines of Olympus, casualties were guaranteed.
Sure enough, not long after, Hao Ren noticed that the two master demon hunters on the light-path tform looked nervous as they exchanged words with each other.
It seemed that the demon hunters had received news from the frontline. Their troops encountered the ancient Titans, and the fight had reached a stalemate.
Just as Hao Ren had expected, the remaining demon hunters acted again. They despatched another team of elite soldiers under the charge of a master-ssmander.
The thinking of the demon hunters was that the Titans crawling out of the Underworld were the biggest threat to them in the Pce of Hades. As the demon hunters had cleared the rest of Mount Olympus as safe, and all the resistance forces of Olympus were confined to the Temple of Poseidon, there would be no enemy reinforcement. Naturally, guarding the light path was not the priority and if necessary, they would redirect their forces from here to deal with Kronos.
There was nothing wrong with this strategy had Hao Ren and this team of space-time travelers not intervened.
As the second batch of the demon hunters left the tform, Hao Ren knew that this was his best chance. The remaining guards would not go away. If he waited some more, he would miss this window of opportunity. Now or never; Hao Ren opened his dimensional pocket at once and took out a Dimensional Copse Bomb. He waved and said, “Let’s move!”
The eyes of the demon hunters stationed on the tform were on the energy storm rising from the Pce of Hades. When theirmander finally knew what happened, a half-meter-tall silvery-white metal cylinder had flown up andnded among the soldiers.
A veteran soldier called out, “Hostile!”
Just then the silvery-white metal cylinder exploded. The explosion was different from that of a conventional bomb. It was the sound of shattering ss without re. The surrounding air distorted and formed a sphere. Beyond the event horizon of the sphere, space and time would copse inward.
The event horizon of the sphere continued to expand and sucked in everything in the surroundings, including a few demon hunters close to the st center. Because of the different gravitational pulls on different parts of their body, their bodies stretched as gravity pulled them toward the gravitational copse point. The demon hunters, who were a little further away, managed to react. Their powerful reflex and fighting talent enabled them to respond even without knowing what was going on. The demon hunters quickly lunged away from the gravitational copse zone with all their might.
The master-ss demon hunter was even more doughty. Half of his body was already inside the event horizon, but he managed to remain focus and pull off a near-field teleporting feat. The gravitation force pulled his lower body inward as his upper body escaped, breaking himself into half.
Knowing that he was going to die, themander dropped his weapon and reached for the rm trigger on his waist at the fastest speed he had ever done in his life.
But before his hand could reach the trigger, a silver light fell from the sky.
It was Hasseing down with his silver sword.
The severed head of themander spun in the air with a shocked expression on the face. He could not believe his eyes until the moment he died; it was the highestmander of the sacred army of the demon hunters who killed him.
“I am sorry, mate. I cannot let you ruin this in this space and time,” Hasse said as he nced at the master demon hunter. His eyes swept across the emblem on the master’s chest. “I have remembered you. I will buy you a drink when this is all done.”
Lily thrust her alloy sword on the ground near Hasse, smashing a poor demon hunter and breaking his bones. She was pretty skillful in using the sword now. Wielding the sword in her hand, Lily further killed several enemies before shouting at Hasse, “Why did you cken your pace? You even had time to make a date!”
Hasse was stupefied.
Hasse now knew Lily’s characters well enough that he had given up interacting with her.
Light shed, and blood sshed on the tform.
With the Dimensional Copse Bomb as the trailzer, Hao Ren had the situation under his control and finished off all the demon hunters on the tform.
But the most important thing was that Hasse killed themander just in time just before he triggered the alert.
Up until now, the sacred army currently besieging the Temple of Poseidon was still unaware of the intervention of a third force.
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, but then he said, “The other demon hunters would soon discover our presence.”
“That’s right. Themanders at every level will regrly check in with each other. They will quickly find out the lost of this team,” Hasse said quickly. “We have less than 20 minutes to remain under the radar. Twenty minutester, the seniormanders will know the presence of a third hostile force on the battlefield.”
The rumbling and tremors were still felting from the deepest part of the pceplex. The powerful energy storm in the far side of the sky seemed to have weakened but notpletely dissipated.
“Kronos is still drawing the attention of the demon hunters, but we cannot count on the brainless Titans.” Hessiana looked back at the sky and then turned to the rotating light beam on the edge of the tform. “We should now—”
“Wait.” Hao Ren stopped Hessiana, who was about to activate the light path. “It would be too dangerous to go just like that.”
Hasse nodded in agreement. “That’s right. The demon hunters are guarding every entrance and exit of the light paths. We wille into direct confrontation with the guards even we cross the light path just like that. For your info, the number of guards on the Temple of Poseidon side is twice the size of on this side.”
Hessiana shrugged. “It is already a miracle that we havee so far. Direct confrontation is inevitable sooner orter. Or do you have any trick up your sleeve?”
While saying, Hessiana looked at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren replied with a smile, “It is not a trick but simple tactic.”
As he spoke, he opened up the dimensional portal and took out a few small tactical nuclear warheads and arge number of square metal boxes. The metal boxes, when opened, contained blue crystal fragments. Hao Ren then further took out a dozen more sma bombs. He set the bombs into standby mode before putting them in the gaps between the blue crystal fragments.”
Little Hessiana was still a state of excitement and curiosity since the earlier fighting. Now she saw the cool gadgets that looked fun and came up to Hao Ren.
“Do not touch!” Hao Ren quickly grabbed the little girl who reached for the metal boxes. “They are radioactive!”
Lily instinctively felt a sense of danger. “What is that stuff?” she could not help but ask.
“Once, Nn came back with indigestion and threw up a ton of this stuff out of the venttion ducts of the power reactor. It is a degraded energy crystal that she made from overclocking herself. It is useless as an energy source, but because it contains psionic radiation, it was extremely lethal to ordinary carbon-based creatures. Let’s check our life-support cors as we will have to cross a vast radioactive area when we cross over.”
Cold sweat started to trickle down Hessiana’s forehead. “You are so sick, man!”
Hao Ren just smiled slyly but did not argue with her. He then pushed the explosives onto the light path and gave Hessiana a big thumbs-up. “Activate it now.”
“Are you sure this thing will not blow up the light path?”
“Do not worry, the nuclear warhead will automaticallyunch after crossing to the other side and fly to a safe distance before exploding. The released radioactive crystals contain rtively low kic impact force, the main killer is the radioactive dust and energy rays. And I have observed the materials that made up of this tform; the high-grade alloy the Olympus family brought from their homeworld is highly tensile.”
Hessiana’s mouth twitched. Since the mad guy had done his homework, she was not going to question anymore. She proceeded to activate the light path.
Hessiana had nevere into contact with the technology of the Olympian gods, but it did not mean she did not know how to activate the light path. For everyone’s info, there was a massive ‘Start’ letter on the control panel.
Six and a half tons of explosives was on its way through the clouds as Hao Ren watched.
After a while, Hao Ren motioned everyone. “Now is the time for us to go!”
