Chapter 369: Chapter 217: The Calamity of Disaster! (Five in One)_1
Although the Invincible Lotus might last until its Cooldown finishes, it’s unlikely to achieve perpetual invincibility. After all, not every invincible Skill possesses such a short Cooldown time like the Invincible Lotus. Most of them last for at least an hour or more. The Cooldown time of the Invincible Lotus is extremely short for an invincibility effect. If one could collect numerous invincibility abilities, they could, at most, prolong their invincibility only until the Invincible Lotus’s own Cooldown ended once. But even that would be incredibly potent. Being able to maintain continuous invincibility for a minute—how powerful would that be?
Of course, even if one could achieve perpetual invincibility, the Heavenly Dao places significant restrictions on invincibility abilities. After using an invincible Skill, the next one will be subject to an invincibility Cooldown period. Using an invincible Skill during this period will not make it take effect, though it can still be activated. Upon the conclusion of the invincibility Cooldown period, the invincibility effect will automatically be reapplied. This Cooldown period increases with the frequency of invincibility Skill usage in a short time, up to a maximum of three seconds. Don’t underestimate those three seconds; in a battle between experts, three seconds can often decide victory or defeat.
Putting away the Invincible Lotus, Chen Mo inspected the other items in Rangu’s bag. He found the bag was completely empty, leaving Chen Mo speechless.
Did this guy really destroy everything except the Invincible Lotus? How could he be so ruthless?
As the Supreme Commander of the Yongming Star System on Earth, Rangu naturally possessed the decisiveness required for his position. The moment he ordered his subordinates to act, he had already resolved to destroy everything. Unfortunately, he simply couldn’t destroy the Invincible Lotus, no matter what he did! He would rather die than let anyone from the Solar System gain any advantage.
Never mind, obtaining the Invincible Lotus means it wasn’t a loss.
Just as Chen Mo was informing Jiang Yun that Rangu had destroyed all his treasures and there was no information left to examine…
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! Suddenly, numerous dark red, rotating circular portals opened up in the sky. The next moment, terrifying torrents of Energy continuously poured out from these circular portals. Chen Mo clearly sensed the presence of Divine Power.
Is an SS-level Disaster this terrifying? Are there really so many monsters at fifth-transition or higher?
While Chen Mo stared at the sky in shock, the three Alliance Hierarchs had already gathered on the rooftop of the Global Academy Alliance Headquarters. They gazed with grim expressions towards the ominous red sky above the danger zone, where dark red circular portals were appearing.
“An SS-level Disaster, a level we’ve never encountered before. We don’t know how many will survive this time.”
“The most terrifying part is that the Tower of Eternity is also about to face an assault.”
An SS-level Disaster of this magnitude would clearly be difficult to handle without a large number of fifth-transition experts. However, if a large number of fifth-transition experts were redeployed from the Tower of Eternity, its internal defenses would become dangerously thin, making it exceedingly difficult to allocate personnel rationally. But no matter what, Earth is everyone’s foundation. Even if the foundations within the Tower of Eternity are destroyed, they must prioritize the safeguarding of Earth. They could only choose to recall most of the fifth-transition experts first.
“What did the aristocratic families say? Have they responded?”
“The aristocratic family has agreed to remain in the Tower of Eternity and dispatch some of their forces to eliminate the Aliens within. As for repelling the Disaster, they’ve left that to us.”
“These members of the aristocratic family certainly know how to play their cards. Repelling the Disaster is the most dangerous, highest-risk task. They’re unwilling to sacrifice their fifth-transition experts, so they let the disciples of the Academy Alliance shed their blood.”
“It can’t be helped; they are the aristocratic family. The continuation of their families is their foremost concern. Unlike us, we must protect the lives and safety of the entire global population. This difference alone is enough to become their bargaining chip.”
“Hmph! When will our Academy Alliance finally be able to stand tall? Sooner or later, we’ll eliminate these people. They control vast resources and cultivate elite talents, yet they always hoard them, unwilling to deploy them. Weren’t they also born and bred on Earth?”
“That they’re willing to send people to defend the foundations within the Tower of Eternity this time is already something. The impact this time will not be light. Although it’s safer than clearing out the Disaster, there will likely be significant casualties. The aristocratic family will have to make a substantial sacrifice this time.”
Across the globe, countless people stepped out of their homes, gazing at the terrifyingly ominous red sky above the danger zones. No one was untouched by a sense of dread. Disaster. Its arrival always brought a suffocating sense of oppression. And this time, it was an SS-level event, even more terrifying than previous catastrophes. For a while, everyone felt endangered, uncertain of what the future held.
Facing the Disaster, a large number of professionals had already formed an army array, poised for battle. Disasters were not like individual monsters descending one by one, which would be easier to handle. Perhaps weaker Disasters were like that. But Disasters of B-Class and above attacked as entire Calamity Legions. An individual facing such a Calamity Legion had virtually no chance to retaliate, only a path to certain death. Only when two legions clashed could they contend with each other.
And in this Disaster, most of the circular portals showed reactions of Divine Power, indicating that most of the Calamity Legions were led by powerful monsters of at least fifth-transition.
