Chapter 351: The darkest moment, a glimmer of light in the sky
"Open the barrier." Looking at the impending shock wave, Fakou shouted hurriedly.
Several main gods immediately used their magic power, and a transparent barrier immediately wrapped up the entire Pompeii.
"Buzz..."
The shock wave hit the barrier and shook the entire city. Fortunately, with the protection of the barrier, the mortals inside were not harmed.
"Ahem..." On the battlefield, people got up from the ground with dust on their faces. Although they had been hit by the shock wave, fortunately, they were still a long way away from the monster in the black fog. With their strength, they could barely resist the self-explosion of the gods.
At this time, people looked up and looked into the distance. They saw that the place where the monster named Cthulhu was originally located was full of smoke and dust, and they could not see it clearly at all.
"It should be dead!"
"This is the self-explosion of the gods."
"It must be dead."
People murmured.
The dark creatures that were originally fighting also retreated like a tide.
"Success, the monster retreated." Someone shouted.
"Sersi." Fakou shouted.
The goddess of wind, Cersei, nodded, raised her staff, and chanted a spell.
A gust of wind blew out from behind, sweeping across the battlefield. In the gust of wind, people desperately stuck their weapons into the ground to stabilize their bodies.
The gust of wind quickly blew away, and the target was exactly where Cthulhu was.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."
As the gust of wind blew, the smoke and dust were also blown away, revealing a huge monster lying on the ground.
When people were about to shout happily, they suddenly found that the tattered wings behind Cthulhu stood up.
"What?" Falco was startled.
"Hula, hoo..." The wings flapped quickly.
Cthulhu's body slowly rose from the ground, and his limbs pushed hard. As the ground shook, the monster stood up again.
"You extremely stupid creatures, you have angered the great Cthulhu."
"Come out! My servants, the blind ones, I command you in the name of the Lord of R'lyeh."
Accompanied by Cthulhu's angry call, a huge wormhole appeared in the sky, and many winged creatures, which were more than ten times larger than the monsters on the scene, flew out, one, two, three, and the number increased. Soon Cthulhu was surrounded by these huge creatures that looked translucent and wrapped with electric light. They were Cthulhu's followers, the flying hydras.
At this time, people's hearts were already half cold.
"Everyone retreat." The Lord of Fakou suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked at the gods flying in the air above the city wall with some confusion.
"Clear." Uriel instantly understood Fakou's intention and shouted loudly.
At this time, people took the opportunity to quickly return to Pompeii.
On the contrary, the monsters that had retreated slowly advanced again, and above them were the flying hydras that had just appeared.
A sword emitting lightning appeared in Fakou's hand, and he slowly flew towards the monsters.
"Liat, the future depends on you." Uriel turned back and shouted to the knight Liat who had just retreated to the city, and then flew out.
"Hahaha, children, you have to live." The fire god Labut smiled heartily, with an expression of fearlessness on his face, and followed closely.
The water god Seres, the earth god Tias, and the wind goddess Circe also flew out one after another, followed by the surviving gods, big and small, with no fear in their eyes, and they all looked fearless.
"Lord God." Liat stood on the city wall with tears in his eyes. At this moment, he understood that the gods intended to earn a future for everyone with their own lives.
"Plop..."
The people of Pompeii, whether civilians or warriors, whether elves, orcs, or dwarves, all knelt down one after another, everyone looked sad, looking at the backs of the gods leaving in the air, at this moment everyone seemed to be burying the gods.
"Kill." Fakou shouted loudly, and the sword in his hand instantly turned into a huge thunder whip, and quickly swung it towards the monsters in front.
"Kill."
All the gods behind him also fully burst out their divine power. For a moment, there were fire, thunder, strong winds, and the sound of the earth cracking.
The team of gods with less than a hundred people actually resisted countless monster armies for a while. Hundreds of monsters died with each blow.
This scene made the people watching the battle on the city wall suddenly happy. The power of the gods exceeded their imagination, and everyone's heart rekindled hope.
Only Liat looked at Cthulhu behind the monsters with a serious expression. In his opinion, this so-called foreign god was the most terrifying. The previous gods' self-explosion could not hurt the other party at all.
More and more monsters flew out of the black hole in the sky, and more monsters were killed by the gods. The gods' magic and combat skills cooperated with each other, and they continued to harvest the tide of monsters like cutting leeks.
As time passed, the monster corpses on the ground piled up like a mountain. The people who had originally held out hope for the battle began to feel terrified. There were too many monsters, so many of them, as dense as ants, and more monsters kept coming out of the black hole in the sky.
The gods seemed to have realized their disadvantage, because if they continued, their divine power would eventually run out, but the monsters continued to attack.
Fakou's eyes fell on the huge black hole above Cthulhu's head, and he realized that the only hope of winning was to destroy the passage.
At the same time, he was not the only one who had this idea. A god with two horns on his head quickly flew towards the black hole, his eyes full of determination, and he was ready to sacrifice himself to destroy the black hole.
"Buldy." Uriel shouted. That was his good friend, the god of the orcs, and also the god representing courage and perseverance.
Just as the other party was about to approach the black hole, a thick tentacle suddenly appeared and tightly wrapped around Burdy's body.
It was Cthulhu, who took action. A thick and sticky tentacle stretched out from his head and tightly wrapped around Burdy.
"Damn it." Burdy quickly swung the giant axe in his hand and chopped the tentacles on his body fiercely.
However, his attack seemed to chop on rubber, and the powerful recoil even shook the axe away.
"Ah..." Burdy pulled the tentacles on his body with his hands, but it was useless. The tentacles tightened more and more.
"I'm sorry, everyone." In the end, Burdi gave up struggling and gave everyone a smile. Then, his body gradually glowed. He could only choose to self-destruct on the spot.
"Buldy." Uriel screamed in pain.
"Boom..."
A loud noise came.
Cthulhu's tentacles slowly retracted. Obviously, Burdi's self-destruction had no effect at all.
Despair, at this moment, not only the people of Pompeii, but even most of the gods. If self-sacrifice could hurt the other party, perhaps they would not be so desperate, but now the facts are in front of them. This monster is not something they can deal with.
What to do, this is what Fakou thought at this time. The self-destruction of several gods before could not hurt Cthulhu at all, so even if their main god went up to self-destruct, it would not have much effect. The other party seemed to be immune to all attacks. How could there be such a monster in this world? He really couldn't understand.
The battle continued, and Liat on the city wall also felt despair. He closed his eyes and his mind was filled with the petite figure of his sister. His thoughts went back to when he returned to the Prophet City after becoming an official knight and took his little sister from his parents' arms. She was so cute and everything was so beautiful at that time. People did not blame him for leaving. He recalled that every time he went home, his sister stood on the city wall to greet him. Her admiring eyes were the source of his efforts.
"Lilith, wait for me." Liat murmured.
"Chi..."
Just then, a chirping sound came.
Liat opened his eyes and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
I saw a bright light appearing on the dark horizon.
The two warring parties were immediately attracted by this scene.
"What is that?" This was everyone's doubt.
"Chi..."
Another chirping sound was heard, and the bright light was getting closer and closer.
"Swoosh..."
Accompanied by the whistling sound, everyone felt the temperature around them rise rapidly.
The figure in the sky also revealed its true appearance, a huge bird with flames all over its body.
"Giggle..."
Then a little girl's laughter came, and people found that there was a young figure sitting on the head of the giant bird, which seemed to be a little girl of three or four years old.
"Lu Ya, burn these monsters to death." The little girl's crisp voice sounded.
"Okay, Miss Meng Meng." The giant bird responded.
"They are not afraid of fire." Fakou suddenly shouted loudly. Although I don't know what this thing is, it must be here to help them.
However, the next scene directly shattered everyone's three views.
"Chi..." Lu Ya flapped his wings and rushed towards the dense flying hydras in the air.
Wherever he passed, the flying hydras burned fierce flames and fell from the sky with wailing.
All of a sudden, the whole sky was filled with flames, and countless monsters fell while burning and wailing.
"This..." Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
"This fire is very hot, not an ordinary fire." The fire god Labut said, he sensed that the temperature of the flame on this strange bird was far higher than his own flame.
"Brother..."
At this moment, another shout came from the sky.
Liat's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked towards the place where the sound came from.
A huge golden eagle was flying towards this side.
"Lilith, it's Lilith." Liat said excitedly.
Then more and more figures appeared in the sky.
Under the shocked eyes of everyone, many people soon appeared around them, and the endless people seemed to even exceed the number of monsters.
"The God Emperor has ordered that evil creatures must be killed without mercy." The figure of Supreme Treasure appeared in the sky.
"Yes." Everyone received the order at the same time, and the voice was deafening.
"I said, there must be light." Su Yu's voice came from the sky.
I saw a ray of light shining through the black fog, and then one after another, the light shone down, and soon, the surrounding black fog disappeared, and the whole world seemed to have entered daytime.
