Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 483: Breaching the Fortress



Chapter 483: Breaching the Fortress

The attacks from the enemy appeared to have been coming from firearms, and that was very much in line with the appearance of their defensive setup, but Adam's intuition told him that things weren't as they appeared on the surface, and he immediately issued a warning to everyone.

Diana had full trust in him, and she instantly plummeted out of the sky in freefall while reverting back to her human form. At the same time, Shae hid herself behind him to ensure her own safety.

May, Cowboy, and the others who were more familiar with Adam also chose to trust in his judgment and acted accordingly.

However, there were also some people who didn't know Adam very well or were very confident in their own defenses, and all of them adopted their own defensive measures, conjuring up sturdy barriers, boundless swamps, cloud vortexes, rubber walls...

There was a wide variety of defensive abilities on display, but after the oncoming projectiles flew into those defenses, they didn't explode as everyone anticipated.

Instead, they transformed into black holes of different sizes that instantly devoured everything they came into contact with, causing all of it to vanish from the spot.

They're not dead, but they've been teleported to some unknown place, and they won't be able to come back anytime soon.

Adam instructed Clown to conjure up several clones to conduct an experiment, and he discovered that the Clown clones that were swallowed up by the black holes weren't killed, but they were also nowhere to be seen.

While it was a good thing that those who had been devoured by the black holes weren't dead, just that single round of attacks had caused thousands of Adam's allies to vanish from the battlefield, and a few more rounds of those attacks would've wiped out all of their forces.

"What do we do? Those things aren't affected by spatial abilities, either."

An elite adapter from the pawn shop had attempted to transfer the missiles elsewhere through the use of his spatial abilities, but to no avail. Those missiles seemed to have been directly tied to the underlying laws of the entire planet, thereby making it impossible to manipulate them unless one could seize control over this planet.

"All of us are accustomed to battles in the psychic world that take place on battlefields of limited sizes, so none of us are used to fighting in such a massive open area."

Adam's mind was racing, and all of a sudden, he was struck by a flash of inspiration. "In that case, let's take things into our own hands and limit the size of the battlefield."

"That's a good idea!"

Wax Figure was the first one to spring into action, unleashing his domain toward the enemy's defense system in the distance. In the blink of an eye, his domain spread over an area with a radius of several kilometers, forcibly inundating the array of turrets.

At the same time, his allies unleashed a range of formidable offensive abilities, causing as much damage as a tactical nuclear warhead explosion within the span of just a few seconds. Raven plunged his tentacles into the ground, and they re-emerged in the distance as a forest of sharp spikes that ensnared all of the turrets and weaponry units while also releasing clouds of toxic mist that created smokescreens to obstruct the enemy's line of sight.

Meanwhile, Big Genius had finally assembled a strange cannon that was the size of a small mountain, and he took aim at that area before letting loose a loud shriek as he tugged on the fuse with all his might.

The entire earth in a radius of several kilometers trembled violently as a long missile came flying out of the cannon's massive barrel. The missile weighed several dozen tons and instantly accelerated to Mach 8, plunging through countless tall buildings and fortress systems in the blink of an eye.

From Adam's perspective, he could see that a massive passageway had been torn into the enemy headquarters, and as a result, he was able to sense the key more clearly than before.

"Fire off another one!" he hurriedly yelled, only to discover that the enormous cannon had already collapsed into a pile of scrap metal that was releasing plumes of black smoke.

As it turned out, the cannon could only fire once, and Adam was left feeling a little speechless upon seeing this.

Meanwhile, May immediately capitalized on this opportunity to shoot an arrow straight into the passageway, creating a violent explosion that sent waves of heat surging through the surrounding area for hundreds of meters, but it was just barely unable to break through to the other side.

The enemy's defense system immediately sprang into action, rapidly repairing the damage that had been inflicted.

"We can't let them finish! Otherwise, all our hard work will go to waste!"

Adam immediately invoked Horse Face, which completed a Lamenting Wall in what seemed like no more than the blink of an eye. In this digitized psychic form, Adam was able to unleash his abilities in a way that resembled a copy and paste sequence, thereby significantly reducing the amount of time required.

Adam swept a hand through the air to hurl the Lamenting Wall forward, and during its descent, it expanded to over a kilometer wide. The movements of the countless people in the artwork were rapidly accelerating, and the moment that the nuclear bomb fell arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Patriot!"

"I'm on it!"

Patriot was already prepared, and he fired his gun as soon as he heard Adam call out his name.

The weapon that had been fired was a gun, yet it was a nuclear missile that fell out of the sky, and it exploded almost at the exact same moment as the detonation of the nuclear bomb in the Lamenting Wall.

The shockwaves from the two explosions clashed before being funneled straight into the passageway, releasing an enormous burst of light and heat.

Adam could feel that something had been broken, and he was able to sense the key with an unprecedentedly high level of clarity.

"We just need a little more!"

Cowboy immediately heeded his call, firing a bullet into the passageway, while May also fired off another golden arrow, after which it seemed as if all of the strength was sapped from her body, and she was only just barely able to maintain her Artemis form.

The two projectiles exploded in the narrow passageway with the force of two tactical nuclear warheads, and with that, the final barrier was finally breached.

"We've broken through! It's time to go in!"

Adam invoked Scarecrow, which swept him up in its cloak before flying toward the passageway like lightning, while May, Cowboy, and the others were following close behind.

There was just enough time for them to rush through the passageway before it was repaired by the enemy's defense system, and Adam was forging ahead without any hesitation.

Thunderbird transformed into an attack aircraft that instantly accelerated to supersonic speeds while carrying Flame, overtaking Adam in the blink of an eye, yet right as he was about to fly into the opening up ahead, he was struck headfirst by a dazzling beam of light.

Even with Flame's formidable defenses, that attack was still almost enough to inflict severe injuries upon Thunderbird, and the attack aircraft that he had transformed into plummeted out of the sky, leaving a trail of black smoke in its wake.

There's a powerful adapter inside!

Adam was right behind Thunderbird, and he immediately invoked Sludge to act as a meat shield. In the digital world, Sludge had swelled all the way to 30 meters tall, and it was barreling forward like a small mountain.

Another beam of light flashed through the air, destroying half of Sludge's body, but it continued to charge forward as quickly as it could, shielding Adam, May, Cowboy, and the others as they rushed through the opening.

"Guang Fei!" Adam yelled.

Guang Fei had been hiding beside Adam this entire time, and he immediately sprang into action upon hearing Adam's call.

An indistinct projection was conjured up, simulating many attackers rushing into the opening at once, only to be struck down by a wave of light.

All of the projected figures disintegrated into nothingness, revealing the true scene up ahead, and everyone discovered that they were situated in a massive hall that was at least one square kilometer in area and over a kilometer tall.

The ceiling was completely out of sight, but countless specks of light could be seen up above.

At the very center of the vast hall was a giant tower that was over 100 meters tall, and the key was plunged into the very top of the tower, giving off dazzling radiance.

Situated around the tower were dozens of powerful adapters from the southern congress and the Gaia Organization, every single one of which was comparable in power to Hebi no Miko.

Adam's heart immediately sank slightly upon seeing this. This was not going to be an easy battle.
