Chapter 506: Prayer


    "Uh-oh!" Emperor Kong''s expression changed drastically.


    The power of the ck Lightning was something he had just experienced within the Dark Cloud. It would take at least a Seventh Order expert to withstand it. However, even for him, there was no way to withstand so much ck Lightning.


    Inside Rainless City, there were many residents of the Red Alert Empire!


    As a high-ranking member of the Empire, if he couldn''t even protect his own people, how could he go on?


    In an instant, Emperor Kong thought of a solution: he would use his own domain to cover the entire city, even if it meant that his domain would be shattered, and he would be seriously injured.


    Just as he was about to take action, a semi-transparent membrane suddenly enveloped the entire Rainless City. This membrane felt very familiar to him.


    Countless bolts of ck Lightning rained down below, in the despairing eyes of the people, but they were all blocked by that seemingly inconspicuous membrane!


    Outside, the ck Lightning was deafening, but inside Rainless City, people were unharmed. They knew that this thin membrane had saved them.


    "This seems to be..." Emperor Kong looked at Spy."Yes, it''s the Superweapon that the Red Alert Base possesses, the Iron Curtain Device."


    Under the defense of the Iron Curtain Device, the ck Lightning had no effect. Unfortunately, the Dark Cloud in the sky had no intelligence; it only knew how to relentlessly bombard, with no sense of restraint.


    Seeing that Rainless City was safe, Emperor Kong once again turned his attention to the Dark Cloud. This thing had to be dealt with, but he couldn''t do it alone. He needed help from others.


    Just then, a figure appeared not far from Emperor Kong—it was a former member of the Ghost n, an eighth-order expert.


    "Emperor Kong, we have some records of this thing in the former Ghost n. It''s created using the resentful energy from Shadow Ghostsbined with the techniques of the Ghost Master. Our former Ghost n''s energy is very simr to that of the Ghost Master. Maybe we can eliminate the Dark Cloud."


    Emperor Kong was overjoyed because as long as they got rid of the Dark Cloud, their city would not be under attack.


    "Good, what do you need? I can provide it for you," Emperor Kong made his promise.


    He knew that these former Ghost n members were currently under the control of Libra, but for now, they were on his side. Any disagreements could be dealt with after the Ghost n.


    "We need arge quantity of Energy Crystals."


    So far, Emperor Kong and his group had acquired arge number of ck Energy Crystals. They couldn''t use them directly; they needed an Energy Conversion Device to transform the energy inside before they could absorb and utilize it.


    Due to the extensive battles and the influence of ck Energy Crystals, the strength of their Earth human warriors had improved rapidly. If it weren''t for the presence of so many Ghost n members, this would have been an excellent ce for training.


    Emperor Kong waved his hand, and many Energy Crystals were sent to the former Ghost n members.


    He provided them with a ce to stay in a corner of the city. They were well-behaved and didn''t harm any humans.


    Emperor Kong had some interactions with the former Ghost n members and found that they had no feelings toward humans. They didn''t hate them, but they didn''t particrly like them either. They hade here because of Libra''s orders, and their hatred for theter Ghost n was beyond words.


    Emperor Kong didn''t know the full story of these former Ghost n members and why they despised their own kind, theter Ghost n. However, this situation was beneficial to them.


    Humans were rtively weak and needed a powerful ally, and the arrival of the former Ghost n members was timely.


    Arge number of Energy Crystals were ced on the ground by the former Ghost n members. The eighth-order former Ghost n member stood in the center of the crystals, closed his eyes, and gradually, a faint energy emanated from the surrounding Energy Crystals, converging towards the top of his head.


    At this moment, the other former Ghost n members around him assumed devout expressions, quietly reciting prayers as if they were praying to a deity.


    Emperor Kong and his group stood nearby, quietly discussing.


    "Do you think they are trying to invoke magic?" Emperor Yu was the first to speak.


    "It does seem like it. Did any of you hear what they were saying? I thought I heard the word ''deity,''" White Emperor leaned in to hear more clearly.


    Several Human Emperors listened quietly and indeed heard the words ''deity.'' Were they praying to a deity?


    When it came to deities, they immediately thought of a particr race: the Dream Shadow n.


    They had received information from Su Chen that the Dream Shadow n was considered a deity in the minds of many races.


    "The deity they are praying to couldn''t be the Dream Shadow n, could it?"


    Thinking of this possibility, even the usuallyposed Eastern Emperor felt uneasy.


    The Dream Shadow n on Earth, if not for Su Chen''s formidable strength, would have already wiped out Earth. If another Dream Shadow n were to emerge here, it would be disastrous.


    At this point, the former Ghost n''s prayer seemed to have ended. A pitch-ck sphere appeared above the head of the eighth-order former Ghost n member, containing the energy from all the surrounding Energy Crystals. If this thing were to explode, it could probably destroy the entire city.


    The eighth-order former Ghost n member raised the pitch-ck sphere high and hurled it toward the Dark Cloud in the sky.


    Swish!


    The pitch-ck sphere mmed into the Dark Cloud with a dull thud, and then they saw it—the Dark Cloud was gradually dissipating on its own, as if it had triggered some kind of reaction.


    In less than a minute, the Dark Cloud that had covered the entire Rainless City disappeared.


    Su Chen witnessed this and immediately notified Su Er and the others of the solution. After all, his Iron Curtain Device could only be used once, and he couldn''t help Su Er and the others'' cities.


    If it weren''t for the appearance of the former Ghost n members, his city would have suffered heavy losses this time.


    By the time Su Er and the others contacted the former Ghost n members to eliminate the Dark Cloud in the same way, a torrent of ck Lightning poured down.


    "Everyone, attack the Dark Cloud! Those unable to fight, take cover!" Su Er and the others immediately gave orders. They urged the former Ghost n to eliminate the Dark Cloud, as they couldn''t afford to wait.


    The intensity of the ck Lightning attacks was at most equivalent to that of a Seventh Order expert. With the small Psychic shields on the Red Alert soldiers, they could withstand at least one round of ck Lightning. However, the city''s residents did not have such protection.


    With a deafening boom, a building vanished, along with the people inside.


    In less than half a minute, Su Chen heard the voice of the System: "Casualties are approaching fifty percent. Please be advised that if losses exceed thirty percent, the mission will fail."


    Time passed, and the casualties continued to mount. When the losses reached twenty percent, the Dark Cloud over the nine cities was finally destroyed, leaving behind a city pockmarked with craters.


    Su Chen had never expected that this time, it would be the former Ghost n members under Libra''smand who would help themplete the mission.


    "When Libra returns, we must reward her generously. But what does Libra like?" (To be continued...)
