Chapter 1619: Chapter 1158: Soaring Pillar

The first attack from the black column that shot up into the sky inflicted heavy damage on over thirty percent of human soldiers assembled along the coastal defense lines of the Eastern and Western Continents.

Their rationality was completely destroyed, and some sort of bizarre knowledge or information was forcibly injected into their spirit worlds.

In a short time, they turned into raving madmen. Some were writhing and wailing on the ground, while others were attacking everything frantically with their weapons.

This was a hellish scene; one person going mad isn’t terrifying, but when a group of people go mad, the scene of madness is chilling.

Player characters along with the surviving warriors immediately carried out effective suppression, and under the players’ individual abilities, the riot was successfully contained.

But in many port cities, chaos still erupted.

The players could only mobilize quickly to suppress it.

At the same time, a terrifying scene emerged on the sea. A large number of fish and some dead Sea Gods were floating on the surface. Countless seabirds were also plummeting from the sky.

Under that bizarre attack, it was not only humans who were struck with horror; all living beings within range were hit hard. The entire sea surface was dead silent.

Atlantis appeared in the central ocean region, nearly five thousand kilometers away from both coasts.

And now, it could directly attack the coastal defenses on both sides.

An attack range of nine thousand kilometers?

That was far too terrifying; if this attack were launched on an inland city, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The players who thought of this all had grim faces.

Clearly, this was a weapon prepared by Atlantis well in advance; they knew they would be surrounded by enemies upon their emergence, so they prepared such a large-scale lethal weapon.

Was this already the limit of the attack range?

Or could it extend further?

For players, Transcendents, veterans, and elite soldiers who had experienced warfare, such an attack wasn’t fatal. That’s why so many were unaffected and did not go mad.

But the danger for ordinary people was too great! Over half the human population within a coastal city was affected, turned into raving lunatics.

Atlantis’s attack wasn’t aimed at human military forces, but against all humanity!

Li Changhe was suddenly clad in Mountain Pattern Armor as spatial fluctuations shimmered around him, and he drew human soldiers close to him. They were sheltered by the aura of high-level mental resistance.

Then, he asked, "When will the next attack come? Hasn’t the Chaos fleet already set off? What’s the situation now?"

"Based on the charging speed of the black column, it should be able to release the same attack again in three days," came the response from the operation base’s receiver amidst sounds of battle. Apparently, those bizarre statues had started attacking the observers again. Players and soldiers from Daqin stationed in near-Earth orbit were fighting back hard.

"And several Chaos warships have directly crashed, while the rest of the Chaos fleet is already approaching Atlantis! I’ll transmit the footage over!"

The next second, a light curtain lit up in the operation base.

In the footage, two Chaos mainships and hundreds of smaller warships were rapidly closing in on Atlantis.

Protected by the auroral Light Curtain, distant weapons twisted away without reaching them. This assault team from the Chaos Faction clearly intended to carry out a landing battle—either to board Atlantis or to destroy the black column!

However, as the Chaos assault team approached, a large number of alien sea beasts and Sea Clan Corps rose from beneath the sea. Several artificial islands surfaced, along with countless anti-air firepower blindly unleashing upon the Chaos assault team from above.

The numbers were overwhelmingly crushing the Chaos assault team.

The Chaos Faction was clearly skilled as well, facing a numerical disadvantage, the Great Chaos Demon led a group of Demon Generals directly from the landing pod, smashing onto the defensive islands. Engaging in intense combat with a vast number of enemies.

At the same time, almost all the medium and small warships launched suicidal close-range bombings in retaliation against the Different Race armies.

One of the main ships even activated its demonic energy shield, ramming into the enemy formation. Shattering countless Sea Beasts. Following that, it was dragged down to the sea surface by several immense tentacles. A massive number of Chaos Demon Generals and soldiers poured out from the warship, diving straight into the sea or onto the islands to engage in a bloody battle with the enemy. The main ship then crashed into the sea and exploded violently. Killing countless Sea Beasts and even soldiers of their own.

After paying a heavy toll, the Chaos assault team actually forcefully tore open the encirclement of the Sea Beasts and the Different Race Corps, enabling the fleet to approach the black pillars.

The only remaining main ship, in spite of taking heavy enemy fire, managed to get within a kilometer of the black pillar.

Even the Chaos could not help but feel respect when seeing the human players.

Afterward, that main ship directly collided with the black pillar.

Moreover, a Divinity Projection appeared in front of the warship.

The projection was a kilometer tall, its aura rivaling that of a Demigod’s True Body.

That was not a Demigod Projection, but the projection of a True God!

An apparition under the command of Blood River, the projection of the Demon Sword True God!

With the emergence of the True God Projection, a gigantic claw swung out from Atlantis. It was Atlantis’ True God!

The True God Projection, however, took the brunt of this powerful attack head-on, raising its sword.

Terrifying Divinity bloomed, with the demonic sword in its hand emitting an interwoven aura of crimson and black, piercing the sky.

Cracks also appeared on the shell of the projection itself.

Clearly, this was a self-sacrificing strike by the projection!

In the next second, the demonic sword slashed down upon the pillar, and a fearsome explosion echoed through the void of this world.

The towering black pillar also shattered in response.

The Chaos True God’s projection successfully destroyed the black pillar!

"Chaos... helped us destroy the black pillar?" The human players were somewhat surprised.

"No, the black pillar is aimed not only at us humans but also at attacking the Chaos Faction. It’s not about helping or not helping. It’s all about eliminating danger!" added a player.

However, the image of the soon-to-be-shattered True God Projection, let out a roar and charged in another direction.

The human players witnessed a scene that sent chills down their spines.

Three... three more pillars, identical to the previous one, emerged from beneath the sea, positioned to the east, south, and west of the Atlantis continent.

These weapons... there are three more? No... possibly even more!

On the battlefield, the True God Projection’s roars were incessant, trying to approach the other pillars, but the mere projection had already reached its limit. After dashing for dozens of kilometers, the projection exploded into pieces.

At this time, nearly all of the Great Demons, Demon Generals, and soldiers of the Chaos assault team, along with the True God Projection, had all perished!

And beneath the sea surface, one after another, black pillars extended. Five, six... twelve!

The emergence of twelve black pillars beside the Atlantis continent plunged both humans and Chaos into silence.

If previously one pillar had the horrific range to attack the coast, now with twelve... the power and range would undoubtedly be even more terrifying!
