Chapter 1378 - Chapter 1378 Chapter 423 The War of the Empires Collapse

Chapter 1378: Chapter 423: The War of the Empire’s Collapse Chapter 1378: Chapter 423: The War of the Empire’s Collapse The moment Enlightenment appeared, Leonard Churchill only then sensed the intense space fluctuations.

Looking up at the sky filled with web-like cracks as in a thunderstorm, he realized that a fierce battle had just taken place in a hidden dimension.

It was a battle only cannon fodder could look up to.

Suddenly, a Mechanical Angel clad in shimmering metallic silver flew out from a rift in the void and sped away towards the northeast as a streak of light.

So fast that even Leonard only caught a silhouette, while whispering to himself, “So this Mechanical Angel was destroyed here…”

Previously in Talon Mechanical City, he had seen a Mechanical Angel with a damaged arm.

It looked exactly like the one he had glimpsed just now.

Seeing this, Leonard’s mind became active.

Based on the previous task story, it wasn’t hard to guess what had happened. The Mechanical Angel had been targeting and killing Rebel leaders on the battlefield and now it seemed it had been ambushed.

But this level of battle was like background story in a game to Leonard, just something to watch and nothing more.

To trap the Mechanical Angel in the void and escape with an arm severed, those who struck must have been God Tier.

At the same time, Leonard’s anticipation also rose.

He couldn’t join the fight, but he could partake in the just-notified B-tier mission: collecting fragments of angel machinery.

As long as it had made contact in the Alternate Dimension, theoretically, there was a chance to get it from draw cards at settlement.

This was a good opportunity.

Reality didn’t give him much time to think.

The sound of wind-breaking roared by his ear, and the beastmen in the forest also all looked up at the sky in unison.

The sky’s fiery fragments fell like meteors, thunderously crashing within tens of miles of the dense forest in an instant.

Seeing the persistent dark glow on the fragments, Leonard’s face suddenly changed: “Not good!”

Others might not know what this was, but he was very clear, this was the eerie energy formed by “Day Without Light.”

Merely a look gave Leonard a sense of a deadly crisis causing all his hairs to stand on end.

His mind swiftly judged the trajectories of those hundreds of fragments, transformed into his Werewolf form, and bolted from the spot.

Almost in the next instant.

“Thud” “Thud” “Thud”…

Sounds like cannons furiously bombarding the ground started coming densely.

Those hundreds of fragments plunged into the ground, seizing the moment, and then the contained energy violently erupted.

It was like hundreds of volcanoes erupting simultaneously, the ground shook violently, and then as if a giant beast was turning over underground, black light exploded like a geyser across the hills within dozens of miles.

In just a moment, hundred-meter-tall trees, sturdy rocks, and beastmen who hadn’t even realized what had happened… anything that touched that black light vanished in an instant.

In a valley, Leonard who had just teleported there, and several dozen astonished beastmen froze on the spot, watching the black light emerging from the ground a hundred meters away engulfing everything before them, petrified and dare not move.

Leonard’s eye twitched suddenly, thinking, “No wonder scavenging is a B-tier task… might really get smashed to death here…”

Luckily, this terrifying noise was point-to-point, the blast damage was minimal, and it lasted only an instant. After destroying a few nearby hilltops, it subsided.

Seeing this, Leonard immediately ran to the nearest crater, spotting a silver coin-sized metal fragment in the hundred-meter-deep pit at a glance.

“[Angel Alloy]…”

Leonard reached out and grabbed the fragment, pocketing it before anyone else saw.

Enlightenment hinted that this fragment could be exchanged for Contribution points at the Imperial City, or he could take it out of the space.

Leonard had no intention of exchanging for Contribution points.

After all, this metal couldn’t be found anywhere outside.

Previously in the “Terror Nest” Alternate Dimension, Leonard had drawn a card that gave him an unprocessed alloy.

After researching, he had determined this to be the strongest metal in terms of strength, tenacity, and magical conductivity that he had ever encountered, and it was unheard of anywhere outside.

Leonard wasn’t sure of the metal’s use, but powerful as Taron’s empire was, they had only produced one Mechanical Angel.

Keeping it in hand, was always the right decision.

…

Leonard gathered up the fragments from the nearby hilltops, but he only found three pieces.

More had ended up in other beastmen’s hands.

However, the good news was, it didn’t take long before the beastmen’s commander also ordered the collection of fragments.

It seemed the fragments would soon be gathered together.

Leonard also quietly notified Tracy Garcia and Camilla, who were lurking nearby, to keep an eye on the fragments’ whereabouts.

Wait for a chance to ambush and solve the problem for good.

The sudden betrayal ended at the cost of tens of thousands of beastmen’s lives.

However, the Beastman Legion hadn’t been much affected and continued marching towards the Imperial Capital Behemoth in the east.

In the eyes of the Outer God, these low-level rebel soldiers were meant merely as cannon fodder.

Leonard had once looked down upon that aloof disdain, but now as his tier gradually increased, he now felt he could understand that feeling of gods.

Higher lifeforms and lower lifeforms did indeed have a fundamental difference.

Lifeforms that can’t comprehend the true nature of the world were like dust.

Leonard followed the main army, also inquiring about the whereabouts of the “deserter”.

After all, this was tied to an important A-tier plot mission.

“According to historical trends, the fall of Behemoth saw the nearby area turned to rubble…The deserter wasn’t found in history, right? So the artifact that stabilizes the space wasn’t able to function…”
