Chapter 1618: Chapter 1157: The First Assault

As if something ominous was about to happen.

The sea surface became eerily calm, without a single ripple, turning the entire sea into a mirror.

Suddenly, a sharp and piercing sound erupted from beneath the sea.

Giant waves appeared on the sea surface out of nowhere, as if something underwater was pushing them.

The waves grew higher and closer, transforming into a terrifying monumental tsunami!

Then, a massive rift appeared on the sea surface, growing larger and deeper, until the mysterious continent hidden beneath was revealed.

An odd light curtain enveloped a continent made of black stone and metal, covered with bizarre buildings and statues.

These statues depicted terrifying creatures—some with wings, some with tentacles, some with sharp fangs. They seemed alive, as when observed, they all turned their gaze upon the spy.

The next second, they moved instantaneously, raining down punishment on the creatures spying on the Divine Country.

Regardless of whether they were humans or the sentinels of Chaos, all suffered the strikes of these stone statue monsters at this moment, even those well hidden in the distant Safe Area.

These statues would emerge out of nowhere, attacking those who spied on the Divine Country.

Caught off guard, both human warriors and the sentinels of Chaos suffered casualties.

At the same time, they both sensed the high and mysterious level of the other side, capable not only of detecting spying but also of appearing directly in front of the observer.

This is the starting point and the endpoint of the ancient myths of this world, the eerie and mysterious continent of Atlantis!

The moment it appeared, it delivered divine retribution upon the world of humans.

As a great continent emerged suddenly, strong shockwaves triggered the largest tsunami in this world.

The east and west coastlines of this world’s mainland could see the enormous tsunami already towering over fifty meters high.

It seemed determined to use this tsunami to destroy the assembled human legions.

Warriors along the coastal defense lines were petrified with fear.

However, the next second.

In every church of the Ocean Goddess, the Goddess statues stirred into action again. Each statue, having borne decades of devout faith,

Now revived under the strength of the Goddess, incarnating her, soaring to meet the tsunami.

In an instant, they calmed all the tsunamis.

Clearly, she had long been prepared to confront the tsunami.

"Praise the Ocean Goddess!"

"Praise the General’s Wife!"

"Mighty is the Marquis of Great Qin!"

On the defensive line, the human warriors cheered the blessings of Divinity.

Meanwhile, in the bell tower of the Ocean Goddess’s church.

The Goddess, sitting in Li Changhe’s embrace and having quelled the tsunami, then weakly leaned against Li Changhe, nuzzling his neck.

"Atlantis, truly lacking in sentiment..."

Her words carried a tinge of regret. She pinched the restless hand inside her clothes, whispering, "Be careful, they will surely target you. I have a defensive Type Legendary Treasure..."

"With you by my side, I can be at ease," Li Changhe responded softly, "If I cannot fight, can’t I still escape?"

Afterward, Li Changhe, holding Xiao Nan, mounted the Nine Heavens Dragon Horse and hurried to the distant battle base.

As he soared through the high altitudes, he saw the eerie aurora gradually spreading under the night sky, which must have been Atlantis’s doing.

At the same time, he also felt the surge of Chaos energy. The Chaos Fleet must have also launched an attack on Atlantis.

This was good, let Chaos probe the reality of Atlantis for him.

Soon, Li Changhe arrived at the strategy base.

"Atlantis has initiated the attack. Over ten sentinel outposts have been attacked by stone statues, with some statues even directly targeting the observers of the Great Qin in low Earth orbit. Their ability seems to be to appear instantaneously before the observers. It’s a type of causality weapon. Fortunately, their strength is average. Many have already been destroyed."

Inside the strategy base, Yang Dong immediately said upon seeing Li Changhe and Xiao Nan arrive, "At the same time, on one side of the Atlantis continent, a huge black column with a diameter of fifty meters and a length of thousands of meters has appeared. You must have seen it outside; those auroras are being emitted by that column. It might be some kind of weapon."

Li Changhe nodded slightly, with a flash of spatial fluctuation in his hand, he took out a large bow and said, "No matter what kind of weapon it is, destroying it is never wrong. Light it up for me. I’ll shoot it down!"

"Then attack together with the missiles!" No sooner had Yang Dong finished his words than the roaring sound of missile launches came from afar. In orbit, Spears of Light were also falling.

All the official players carried many powerful missiles, including nuclear warheads.

Plus, the robot factories sold by Great Qin were working overtime with efficiency that would make capitalists cry.

Missile launch bases had already been established on all the major defense lines.

At this moment, in the face of Atlantis.

The human side went all-out with their firepower.

One could see the sky filled with flashes of light soaring upwards, and Li Changhe also locked his target on a missile, directly using Heavenly Dragon Fall!

Three black dragons roared out from the firmament, following the slew of missiles flying beyond the line of sight.

In that instant, the aurora that had spread over thousands of kilometers suddenly solidified and fell from the sky.

On the Great Qin warships in low Earth orbit, the observers watched in astonishment as all missiles, as well as attacks launched by players and even demigods, had their trajectories twisted by the falling aurora.

Every missile that entered the Light Curtain would emerge from another and collide with the missiles of their own allies.

Even Li Changhe’s Heavenly Dragon Fall was twisted, destroying a large number of missiles.

Not a single attack could successfully hit Atlantis or the huge stone column.

"Those auroras are space distortion defenses capable of twisting the attacks of demigods!" the observer immediately reported, "At the same time, the power of the stone column is increasing..."

After a pause, the report continued, "It’s starting to release! Be cautious and on guard!"

As this message was relayed to every strategy base.

A faint ’boom’ resounded by the ears of Li Changhe and others.

Every human who heard the sound caught a glimpse of a tremendously abhorrent presence, able to sense the deep, dark, twisted, decay...

Demon? The players were somewhat surprised and had yet to understand what had just happened when they heard screams from outside the building.

Li Changhe immediately rushed out of the strategy base only to see a large number of native human warriors convulsing wildly on the ground, howling or screaming in agony.

Many normal soldiers tried to go forward to help them up but were attacked and bitten. The entire camp was in chaos.

"Was that a psychic attack just now? The attack range is so far?" A player was astonished and then said seriously, "Everyone, block your ears!"

Then, a few players’ eyes emitted a faint light as they uttered a true word, "Calm!"

A powerful psychic force spread, finally bringing the disturbance in the camp to a halt.

"Colleagues on the West Coast have also suffered from this psychic attack, with many human warriors driven mad."

"Both East and West Coasts were attacked?"

"An attack range of over nine thousand kilometers?"

(Sorry for coming home late. I feel the pain of being a single middle-aged man...)
