Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 1038

Chapter 1029, The Furnace of All Things

The sky of the Crucible of All Things melted and collapsed!

The filthy rain of motor oil evaporated completely, replaced by a cascade of searing metal drops and dancing sparks of electricity, crashing down from the sky. It slammed into the metal wasteland mountains and the Forge Temple below, igniting more chaotic sparks and explosions.

From the swirling indigo thunderclouds, a world-shaking war cry rang out!

From the Thunder Forest, from the guard platforms of the Lightning Temple, from the runic glow of the power ring, countless figures leaped out!

They were the Elves of the Storm Kingdom!

“For the Emperor! For Humanity!”

A torrent of Thunder Spirits, carrying billions of leaping arcs of electricity, like a river bursting its banks, plunged through the gap left by the Storm Kingdom and plunged unstoppably towards the chaotic and filthy “Crusher of All Things” below!

They were met by an equally boundless army of Daemon Engines, rising from the mountains of metal wasteland and roaring out from the Forge Temple!

Giant iron feet trampled the scrap earth, the roar of chainsaws drowned out the grinding of gears, and flesh engines let out an inhuman roar. Spider tanks spewed jets of searing metal and corrosive mist, humanoid mechs brandished massive power claws and internal cannons, and flying fortresses unleashed a hail of incendiary shells and swarms of suicidal micro-engines.

Blasphemous creations of steel and flesh faced the embodiment of pure thunder and will!

Light spears of thunder pierced the Daemon Engines’ armor, erupting in blinding balls of lightning, instantly overloading and detonating their internal Chaos Cores! The Daemon Engines’ power claws slammed into the Thunder Shields, sending out blinding sparks and metal shards. The Chaos-infused attack was quickly neutralized and annihilated by the Order-infused energy of the thunder.

But in return, the Daemon Engines’ barrage was equally fierce. A barrage of live ammunition, energy beams, and corrosive fluids rained down upon the Thunder Spirits, attempting to crush and disperse them.

However, the thunder energy that comprised their bodies was incredibly resilient! The bullets pierced their bodies, leaving holes that were instantly filled with flowing lightning; the energy beams were deflected or absorbed by the Thunder Shield; the corrosive fluids were evaporated and purified the moment they came into contact with the pure lightning! Only a rare attack imbued with a powerful Chaos Curse or excessively violent energy could completely shatter a Heroic Warrior’s form, but the scattered lightning quickly reassembled, fueled by the energies of the Kingdom of God!

As the vanguard, Gu Hang had invested heavily in this first wave of Heroic Spirits!

The battle was brutal and epic.

Beneath a sky showered with molten metal, on the charred wasteland plowed by thunder, beside the blazing remains of the Forge Temple, waves of azure thunder and a chaotic torrent of flesh and steel clashed frantically, each collision resulting in the mutual annihilation of energy and flesh and steel.

But no matter what, the battlefield took place within Bassol’s Omnipotent Crucible. Each explosion opened a new wound in this blasphemous divine kingdom.

“ROAR!!!”

A roar filled with boundless shock, rage, pain, and a raging will of utterly offended will, like the simultaneous scream of billions of overloaded engines, erupted from the heart of the Central Temple—the vast mass of pale flesh, precision machinery, and liquid metal.

It could no longer focus on controlling its avatar in the distant real universe.

The avatar’s power on the battlefield instantly weakened by at least half, and its movements became subtly slowed.

But even a top warrior like Leon could clearly sense it.

This would not only give Leon a precious respite, but also an opportunity to strike back.

Bassol knew this, but there was nothing he could do. In the Warp, the evil god must focus on dealing with the deadly invasion before him.

Directly above the Storm

Divine Kingdom’s embedded point, at the spire of the Lightning Temple, boundless thunderous forces converged and compressed. A figure slowly coalesced and descended amidst the blinding lightning.

Gu Hang!

“Desecrator of the Creator, tormentor of taboos, cancer of the Warp…” Gu Hang’s voice echoed throughout the Divine Kingdom. “Your end is today!”

“Arrogant!” 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 fused together, mechanical and flesh, like giant serpents and poisonous dragons, shredded the sky and sun, tearing through space and swooping down on Gu Hang, who sat atop the temple’s spire.

Even the chaotic Warp background was forcibly distorted and torn apart in their path! Facing

this attack, which seemed powerful enough to instantly destroy a world, Gu Hang’s expression remained unwavering. He simply raised his right hand and, with a delicate grip, grasped the swarming iron tentacles.

The entire Storm Divine Kingdom was instantly detonated!

With Gu Hang at its center, a golden lightning bolt of indescribable thickness, composed purely of the most fundamental destructive thunder, shot forth violently from the pinnacle of the Lightning Temple like a giant spear cleaving the heavens and earth!

Its might condensed all the strength that the entire Divine Kingdom could mobilize at that moment!

The golden lightning split, spawned, and expanded, transforming into a vast thunder net! Each strand was a bolt of lightning powerful enough to pierce the stars!

Tentacles twisted with flesh and metal collided with the thunder net. The flesh and fascia covered with blasphemous runes, upon contact with the thunder, instantly vaporized and vanished like ice chips cast on the surface of a star! The metal components surrounding it were blown away and disintegrated!

The golden thunder net, unstoppable, with the will to purify all, slammed fiercely into the central temple where Bassol’s body rested!

“No!!!” Bassol screamed shrilly.

Its massive body squirmed frantically, the delicate mechanical structures in its core overclocked to their limit, erupting in countless electric sparks!

Layer upon layer of spherical force field shields, gleaming with a dull metallic sheen, instantly superimposed, each layer containing its own independent energy circuits and twisted laws, attempting to block the devastating blow.

Bassol sensed something was amiss.

A gaping hole had been torn through the Kingdom’s cogwheeled sky; the ground itself had been violently invaded by the Thunder Spirits.

These factors seemed to have left his body, the core of the Kingdom unscathed, unscathed. But then again, where in the Kingdom wasn’t the core?

All these manifestations hinted at the serious damage done to his Universal Furnace.

And Gu Hang’s next attack, this golden lightning grid, struck directly at the heart of the attack!

Despite his full-scale counterattack, it was still too late.

He had been too slow to withdraw from the battlefield on Yusheng Star. Whether he was reluctant or hesitant, it was only at this moment that he fully returned his attention.

He would pay the price.

The layers of protection seemed strong, but when they came into contact with the golden lightning net, they broke!
