Chapter 1179: Guarding Earth!
In the Holy Heavens, the Central Temple, on a floating island that was the most eye-catching and shrouded in a dragon-shaped atmospheric energy, there was a sudden voice exclamation of joy, "The Tower of Babel! It has finally appeared! I've waited thousands of years, and the chance to escape this cage is finally here!"
A man with a shaven head and burly physique, wielding a scarlet red halberd and covered in a scaly armor, flew out of the floating island, his gaze lightning-like, as he headed towards the highest authority of the Holy Heavens.
Inside the Holy Heavens main Temple, atop of high podium, there were 5 gold thrones, representing the highest authority of the Holy Heavens. Only the Heavenly Lords of each Temple could sit here.
Beneath the podium, 2 rows of gold seats filled up the place, where the other Type 9 Holy Lords of the 5 Temple sat.
All the major decision were made in this Holy Heavens temple. Countless decisions in the past that had affected the human race of the Great God World had been passed here.
Only those Type 9 powerhouses were the true top brass of the Holy Heavens, possessing incomparable authority. All the Type 8 powerhouses were just considered in-training to reach the Type 9 realm.
The bald man turned into a beam of light as he shot towards the 5 golden thrones and sat in the middle.
Currently, the other 4 seats were already filled.
The moment the bald man sat down, he spoke, "The Tower of Babel has appeared. In this thousands of years, this is the only chance to leave this world. I must go."
Heavenly Lord Yan Tian from the Western Temple, with a head of scarlet hair, frowned, "Lei Huang, the Tower of Babel is the only chance for all of us to leave this world. All of us would like to go, but there has to be some of us to protect the Holy Heavens. Otherwise, our human race would be wiped out by the other 2 major races."
Among the 4 races, the Mutant Beasts were the most scattered, and there would be a horde assaulting the other parts of the world every once in a while. Even the Man-Eaters and Devils would become targets.
While the Man-Eaters and Devils have their own disagreements and would slaughter each other whenever they meet, their main targets were still the humans.
If the human bass were empty, they would definitely take the chance to launch an assault to wipe out all the humans.
Heavenly Lord Lu Lie from the Southern Temple, who had gold hair and blue eyes, spoke, "Those old fellows from the Man-Eater Race and Devil Race will not give up this chance as well. Especially those Devils, every single one of them is selfish, they will all enter the Tower of Babel for sure."
The Northern Heavenly Lord, Ogani, who had a tanned body, frowned, "That's true. This Tower of Babel is the only chance for most of us to become a True-God expert. However, the danger is rife as well. There's usually an 80% or 90% casualty rate. Even if they're all at the peak of strength. With the cunning and craftiness of the Devils, as well as their fear of death, they might not necessarily all go to the Tower."
Hearing Ogani's words, the rest of the Heavenly Lords fell silent. With the nature of the Devils, it was likely that they would make that choice. However, no one wanted to give up the chance to enter the Tower of Babel.
After all, the danger in the Tower was not a joke, but there were countless opportunities and Gold-Grade treasures. The treasures were so precious, and within the entire Holy Heavens, there were only 8 of such treasures.
Most of them were in the hands of the 5 Heavenly Lords, with only 2 in the hands of other experts. Even for the 5 Heavenly Lords, just 1 additional Gold-Grade treasure would boost their prowess.
At this time, the remaining Eastern Temple's Heavenly Lord Zhuo Jian, spoke up slowly, "I'll stay behind."
Lei Huang's brows eased as he revealed a look of happiness, "Good, Zhuo Jian, we'll leave the Holy Heavens to you then. We will make it up to you."
Zhuo Jian nodded slightly and began to discuss the compensation, and the rest quickly came to an agreement about the details.
After that, the entire Holy Heavens began to get into action, as multiple troops were deployed and sent to the Gates of Hell.
As for the Devils and the Man-Eaters, they also got into action, heading towards the Gates of Hell.
All throughout the Holy Heavens, a number of strong auras appeared from the most secretive of places, heading towards the Gates of Hell.
Other than the Great God World, of the rest of the 800 worlds, those that had Type 9 powerhouses also saw their experts heading towards the Gates of Hell towards Earth.
For those that did not have any Type 9 powerhouses, many experts still headed towards Earth, hoping for a chance to evolve further.
There was a particular Gate of Hell about 20km outside of the capital in China. A burly, 3-headed demon suddenly flew out, his expression nasty while his body was covered in spikes.
As the half-step Type 9 demon came out, he took in a deep breath of Earth's atmosphere, his eyes filled with greed, "Great! Great!! This is Earth? This is amazing, seems like this planet is undergoing mutation, the energy here is abundant. It will take me just 10 years to break through the bottleneck and become a true Type 9 powerhouse!"
He turned towards the direction of the capital, a savage glint in his eyes, as he stuck out his tongue to lick his lips, "There seem to be humans there, just nice for me to have my fill!"
"Have your fill? Pity, you won't have the chance."
Following the cold voice, there was a tear in space as Yue Zhong stepped out, staring at the demon coldly, and reached out for him.
"Shit, a Type 9 expert!!" There was a look of shock on the demon's face, as his heads split apart from the body, turning into 3 beams of light, shooting towards different directions at a speed 20 times that of sound.
The Head-Separating Technique was one of the strongest methods of the 3-headed Demon Race, allowing them to split their soul into 3 in each of the different heads. As long as one could survive, after a period of time, they could regenerate a perfect body. Of course, in order to regain their peak strength, they would have to spend time and a huge amount of resources.
"It's useless! Come back!" Yue Zhong grabbed out at thin air, and the atmospheric energy congealed into 3 palms that grabbed the 3 separate heads and forced them back to its body.
Yue Zhong stared at the demon, and his immense will combined with the Art of Fear struck the consciousness of the 3-headed demon, causing his will to dissipate, before he sent a Type 8 Puppet Rune into the demon.
After that, Yue Zhong waved his hands and tore space apart, disappearing.
At another Gate of Hell in front of Sichuan, a number of 1.8m-tall cockroach-men stepped out, their bodies dark and powerful.
These creatures came from a bug-dominated world, and the cockroaches relied on their rate of reproduction and adaptability to overcome the humans on their planets, becoming the rulers. These cockroach-men were the vanguard forces of their race.
The moment they climbed out the gate, 60 Mech Beasts surrounded them, scanning them with their advanced technology, "These life forms are not human, nor human-like creatures. Considered enemies, eliminate immediately."
At that instant, the numerous weapons on the 60 Mech Beasts spewed out intense firepower at the invaders.
Under the fierce firepower, the dozens of cockroach-men were blown to bits, and their blood and innards splattered all over the ground.
After killing those cockroach-men, the 60 Mech Beasts then spat fire, burning the corpses into nothing.
All around China, in front of the numerous Gates of Hell, there were many Mech Beasts standing guard, immediately eliminating low-level creatures. Those above the Type 6 realm were handled by Yue Zhong personally, turned into puppets.
Through China, there were many battles happening.
Fortunately, on the Great Dragon Planet, Annie had already reclaimed many territories and making use of the resources, numerous sentient Mechs were being manufactured and sent to Earth, allowing China to make use of numbers as well as Yue Zhong's effort to hold the fort.
America was unable to hold out much, however, after Yue Zhong provided some aid through a batch of Mech Beasts, many of them retracted their defense lines and hid underground.
