Chapter 1029, The Furnace of All Things

The sky above the melting furnace of Vientiane is melting and collapsing!

The murky rain of engine oil was completely evaporated, replaced by a downpour of scorching metal droplets and crackling sparks that crashed down on the metal wasteland mountains and forging temples below, igniting even more chaotic sparks and explosions.

Amidst the churning indigo thunderclouds, a battle roar that shook the entire universe resounded!

From the Thunder Forest, from the guarding platform of the Lightning Temple, and from the runic radiance of the energy ring, countless figures leaped out!

They are the heroic warriors of the Storm God Kingdom!

"For the Emperor! For humanity!"

The torrent of thunderous spirits, carrying billions of leaping arcs of electricity, surged like a bursting dam, rushing unstoppably down through the gap embedded in the Storm God Kingdom towards the chaotic and filthy "Furnace of Myriad Machines" God Kingdom below!

They were met with an equally endless army of demonic engines that rose from the mountains of metal wasteland and roared out of the forging temple!
Giant steel feet trampled the scrap metal ground, the roar of chainsaws drowned out the friction of gears, and flesh-and-blood engines emitted inhuman screams. Spider tanks spewed scorching metal jets and corrosive toxic mist, humanoid mechs wielded massive power claws and built-in cannons, and flying fortresses dropped a rain of incendiary bombs and swarms of suicide micro-engines.

A blasphemous creation of steel and flesh meets the embodiment of pure thunder and will!
The lightning spear pierced the armor of the demon engine, unleashing a blinding ball of lightning that instantly overloaded and detonated the chaotic core within! The demon engine's power claws slammed into the lightning shield, scattering dazzling sparks and metal fragments. The attack, imbued with chaotic power, was quickly neutralized and annihilated by the orderly energy contained within the lightning.

Conversely, the demon engine's firepower was equally fierce. Dense barrages of bullets, energy beams, and corrosive liquid were poured onto the Thunder Spirits, attempting to crush and scatter them.

However, the lightning energy that constitutes the body of a heroic spirit is incredibly resilient! Bullets pierce through it, leaving holes that are instantly filled by flowing lightning; energy beams are either deflected by lightning shields or directly absorbed; corrosive liquid is evaporated and purified the moment it touches pure electric light! Only a very few energy attacks containing powerful chaotic curses or excessively violent energy can completely shatter the body of a heroic spirit warrior, but the scattered lightning quickly reforms with the support of divine energy!
Gu Hang invested heavily in the first wave of arriving heroic spirits, who served as the vanguard!
The battle was fierce and massive.

Beneath a sky where molten metal rained down, on scorched wasteland plowed by lightning, beside the blazing ruins of the Forging Temple, azure waves of lightning and chaotic torrents of steel and flesh clashed violently, each collision resulting in the mutual annihilation of energy and creations of steel and flesh.

But regardless, the battlefield was taking place within the all-encompassing furnace of Bassol. Every explosion tore open a new wound in this blasphemous divine realm.

"Roar!!!"

A roar containing endless shock, rage, pain, and a raging will of utter offense erupted from the core of the central temple—the massive evil god's body composed of pale flesh, intricate machinery, and liquid metal—like the screeching of a billion engines overloaded simultaneously!
It can no longer afford to be distracted by controlling its avatar in the distant real universe.

The power of the real battlefield avatar instantly weakened by at least half, and its movements became imperceptibly sluggish.

But it was clear that a top-tier warrior like Leon could sense it.

This will not only give Leon a valuable respite, but also an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Bassol knew this, but he had no choice. In the warp, this evil god had to deal with the deadly invasion before him with all his might.

Directly above the point where the Storm God Kingdom was embedded, at the spire of the Lightning Temple, endless lightning power gathered and compressed. A figure slowly condensed and descended amidst the blinding lightning.

Gu Hang!

"You blasphemer, you toy with the forbidden, you cancer of the warp..." Gu Hang's voice echoed throughout the entire divine realm, "Your end is today!"

"Arrogance!" Bassol's will roared even more sharply and blasphemously, "How dare you trespass into my domain! I will dismantle your divine kingdom and cast your soul into the eternal furnace, forging it into my new engine!"

Countless tentacles, a fusion of machinery and flesh, like a colossal python or venomous dragon blotting out the sky, tore through space and lunged at Gu Hang, who was perched atop the temple spire!
Wherever it passed, even the chaotic subspace background was forcibly distorted and torn apart!
Faced with this attack that seemed capable of instantly destroying a world, Gu Hang's eyes remained unmoved. He simply raised his right hand slowly and made a grasping motion against the swarming iron-blooded tentacles.

The entire Storm Kingdom was instantly detonated!
Centered on Gu Hang, a golden lightning bolt of indescribable thickness, composed purely of the most primordial destructive thunder, shot violently out from the spire of the Lightning Temple like a giant spear that split the heavens and the earth!
Its power gathered all the strength that the entire divine kingdom could mobilize at this moment!
The golden lightning split, multiplied, and expanded, transforming into a gigantic net of thunder! Each line was a bolt of lightning powerful enough to pierce through the stars!
The twisted tentacles of flesh and metal collided with the giant net of lightning. The flesh and fascia covered with blasphemous runes vaporized and vanished the instant they touched the lightning, like ice shards thrown onto the surface of a star! The metal components encased in the net were blown away and disintegrated!
The golden lightning net, unstoppable and carrying the will to purify everything, crashed fiercely into the central temple where Bassol's true form resided!

"No!!!" Bassol let out a piercing scream.

Its massive body writhed wildly, and the precision mechanical structure in its core area operated at overclocked limits, bursting out countless electrical sparks!

Layer upon layer of spherical force field shields, shimmering with a dark metallic luster, instantly stacked and generated. Each layer of force field contained an independent energy circuit and law distortion, attempting to block this destructive blow.

Bassor already sensed something was wrong.

A huge hole was torn in the gears of the divine kingdom; the ground of the divine kingdom was powerfully invaded by the thunderous spirits.

These factors do not seem to have harmed his body or the core of his divine kingdom, but then again, where in the entire divine kingdom is not the core?
All these signs symbolize that his melting pot of all things is severely damaged.

Gu Hang's next attack, this golden lightning net, was aimed directly at a vital point!
Despite our best efforts, it was still a bit too late.

He was too slow to withdraw from the battlefield on Rainborn Star. Whether you say he was reluctant or hesitant, it was only at this moment that he finally focused all his attention back on the battlefield.

He will have to pay the price.

The layers of protection looked sturdy, but when it actually came into contact with the giant golden lightning net, each layer cracked!
