Chapter 82: Target: The God-Tier Powerhouse Elizabeth
Chapter 82: Target: The God-Tier Powerhouse Elizabeth
The top meeting room at the Skrull headquarters was now utterly silent.
Su Yu's burst of power had far exceeded everyone's expectations. That ultimate move was terrifying, and he managed to unleash it twice in a row!
In less than a minute, four Tier 7 powerhouses had fallen, and three of them were from the Sun Empire.
Seeing those three Tier 7s fall so quickly, Manina felt a sharp pain in his heart.
These Tier 7 powerhouses were the backbone of the empire!
The Sun Empire had only 32 Tier 7 powerhouses in total, and losing three of them was a significant blow.
The AI Syblue timely interjected, "Your Majesty Manina, Su Yu's Syblue index remained stable at 8000 while he was casting his ultimate move, and there was no sign of decay in his second move. His index stayed consistent.
Therefore, I cannot rule out the possibility that Su Yu might be able to cast a third ultimate move. Please be cautious."
"A third ultimate move?" Manina and the other god-tier powerhouses were immediately alarmed. Could Su Yu really have the ability to cast three ultimate moves?
However, as they watched the surveillance footage, their anxiety eased slightly.
Su Yu was not continuing to cast his ultimate move; instead, he was leading two [Spatial Lords] to join Tina, Aijie, and Morning Star.
Casting an ultimate move required at least 15 seconds of incantation. Surely Elizabeth wouldn't give him the chance to cast again, right?
Manina spoke solemnly in the video conference room, "Regardless, Su Yu's overall strength has reached the upper echelons of the god-tier. This is an undeniable fact. It seems that the new equipment he's wearing has indeed given him a significant boost... for the time being, we must treat him as a god-tier upper."
As he said this, Manina felt a growing sense of pessimism about the future of the war.
If Su Yu's strength had already reached the upper echelons of the god-tier, what about in two months?
In two months, if Su Yu's strength really reaches the peak of the god-tier, combined with the attribute bonuses from this legendary set, would he become the most formidable being on both planets?
The thought gave Manina a headache.
He suddenly felt that the war's prospects were becoming increasingly grim, and these Earthlings were becoming harder to handle!
At that moment, Ohtar spoke up in the video conference room, "Everyone, let's focus on the Cosiasco Spring. Given the current situation, Lady Elizabeth might be in grave danger!"
Ohtar was worried about falling and dared not go to the Cosiasco Spring to provide support, but Elizabeth wasn't faring much better.
Elizabeth was only a mid-tier god-tier powerhouse. Could she really stand against the upper-tier Su Yu?
Ohtar's words woke everyone in the video conference room.
They realized that, indeed, Elizabeth might not be safe at the spring!
Manina fixed his gaze on the surveillance footage.
Now, only four Tier 7s remained from the Skrull side, and 55 Tier 6s were still capable of fighting.
The base's defensive weapons couldn't attack Su Yu due to the risk of friendly fire.
Would these 59 high-tier powerhouses, plus Elizabeth, be a match for Su Yu and Morning Star?
The AI Syblue timely interjected, "Your Majesty Manina, the overall Syblue index of our Skrull side is fluctuating between 4800 and 5000, while the Earth side's index is between 4900 and 5100. Currently, the two sides are evenly matched."
"Evenly matched?"
The Skrull god-tiers heard the AI Syblue's words.
But in their hearts, they did not agree with the AI's conclusion.
First, the Skrull high-tiers had just lost four Tier 7s, which had a significant impact on their morale, while the Earth side's morale was soaring.
Second, the Skrull high-tiers were numerous but lacked the unity to bring out their full combat potential.
It was like comparing the weight of a common white-headed eagle to the combined weight of three or four common crested birds. In reality, the white-headed eagle would have far more combat power than the combined strength of those birds.
Finally, Morning Star, Tina, and Aijie were fearless, as they could be resurrected and were willing to take high-risk, high-reward tactics in battle.
Considering all these factors, even though the Syblue index was balanced, they had little confidence in Elizabeth's side.
...
Moreover, the Skrull top-tier powerhouses had overlooked one crucial point: the Earth side still had reinforcements.
Above the Cosiasco Spring, Su Yu used his mental power to communicate with Aijie, Morning Star, and Tina about the next plan:
"I've already told Blue Whale to notify Senior Yang Jian to come as quickly as possible.
Yang Jian's flight speed can reach at least eight times the speed of sound, and his sword-flying technique is even faster!
In about thirty to forty minutes, the venerable elder will arrive at the battlefield. So during these thirty to forty minutes, let's conserve our strength and try to keep the Skrull forces engaged, wearing them down.
Once Yang Jian arrives, we'll save our ultimate skills and aim to take out Elizabeth in one go!"
Su Yu set his sights on Elizabeth, a middle-rank god-tier being.
This is a golden opportunity to kill her, better than any other time before!
With their current strength, plus Yang Jian's support, they have enough power to bring Elizabeth down on Blue Earth!
If they succeed in killing Elizabeth, the Skrull forces' morale will plummet, and they might even collapse! The Skrull's overall war strength will definitely be severely weakened.
So they must seize this opportunity at all costs! If they succeed, they'll gain a lot, and even if they fail, they won't lose much.
"Alright."
"Understood."
Tina and Aijie replied in unison, their hearts burning with fierce determination.
Killing a god-tier being is no small feat! This is god-slaying!
In the Evolution world, no god-tier being has fallen in centuries, and no one has ever been slain.
If they can succeed in slaying a god, even just by participating, it will be a significant achievement to remember for a lifetime!
And they don't have to worry about death, so Tina and Aijie are filled with determination, ready to give it their all!
Chenxing is just as excited, if not more so.
Chenxing is ready to do her utmost to kill Elizabeth.
But if Elizabeth is still resisting three hours later, she will have to resort to self-destruction or other means to take her down.
Trading her life for Elizabeth's is absolutely worth it!
The three of them and the cat all focused their gazes on Elizabeth beneath the spatial rift, like they were looking at a prey ready to be slaughtered.
...
Beneath the spatial rift, Elizabeth watched the three of them and the cat with a hint of regret.
Now, the high-tier Skrulls around her have no fighting spirit left, and even with her, their combined combat strength is far inferior to the three of them and the cat.
Moreover, Blue Earth's reinforcements will definitely arrive within three hours.
She truly regrets coming to support this mission, taking on such a huge risk.
However, Elizabeth isn't too panicked.
As one of the top-tier experts in the Runkte Alliance, she and Steim have collected many valuable items over the past few centuries, including some top-tier artifacts.
While she is indeed a middle-rank god-tier being, the power she can unleash far exceeds that of a middle-rank god-tier.
If Su Yu has top-tier equipment, she has it too!
So she still has some confidence that she can hold out for these three hours, though it will likely cost her quite a few of those top-tier artifacts.
In an instant, with a "whoosh," Elizabeth changed into a deep blue robe._
This deep blue robe is filled with surging spiritual energy, far superior in quality to the blood-red robe she was previously wearing.
The blood-red robe was just for her daily battles, while the deep blue robe is what she wears when facing strong enemies.
Putting on this robe means she is ready to go all out!
The only downside is that her change was so quick that even Su Yu, with his keen eyesight, couldn't see what she was wearing underneath...
...
However, before going all out, Elizabeth knows she needs to deal with her immediate concerns first.
These immediate concerns refer to the high-tier Skrulls present.
Currently, these high-tier Skrulls have no heart for the fight, their minds fixated on the spatial rift, ready to flee back to Skrull if anything goes wrong.
She definitely can't let these cannon fodder... cough, these high-tier experts escape. If they all run away, she'll be left alone, and how can she fight then?
So, Elizabeth waved her hand backward, releasing a mental barrier that completely enveloped the spatial rift.
The mental barrier is as clear as glass but incredibly thick, several dozen meters deep. It has sharp edges and a beautiful appearance, like a giant crystal.
She then loudly addressed all the high-tier Skrulls present: "Everyone, we cannot back down against the Blue Earth humans. One step back, and we'll keep retreating. How can we win this war if we keep retreating?
Moreover, we must avenge our fallen comrades! Crush these Blue Earth humans and defend the spring!"
With that, Elizabeth led the charge, flying straight toward Su Yu.
Her mental energy surged forth, amplified by her equipment, reaching its peak as she prepared for battle.
The faces of the high-ranking Skrulls, however, were stiff and expressionless.
When Elizabeth arrived, they had instinctively stopped flying, thinking that with her backing, their safety was assured.
But who would have thought that Elizabeth would actually seal the spatial rift!
A barrier created by a mid-level deity's mental energy was not something they could easily break through.
In other words, Elizabeth had sealed off their escape route!
The high-ranking Skrulls present were all shrewd individuals, and many quickly understood Elizabeth's intentions—she must have realized that she couldn't leave Earth for three hours, so she decided to keep them on Earth as well, preventing them from leaving.
If the Earth humans decided to try and kill her, these Skrulls could serve as meat shields to buffer the attacks.
However, even though these high-ranking Skrulls understood Elizabeth's intentions, what could they do?
Their retreat was blocked, and the only path left was to fight the Earth humans.
So, they steeled themselves, gathered together, and followed Elizabeth, deciding to engage in battle with the Earth humans.
As for whether they would hold back and preserve their strength or put in minimal effort during the fight, only they knew.
...
Seeing Elizabeth approach, Su Yu naturally felt no fear.
He controlled two [Spatial Lords] to lead the way, raising the [Divine Spatial Shield] to face Elizabeth and the Skrull high-ranking forces.
With the two [Spatial Lords] in the front, Su Yu and Morning Star in the middle, and Aijie and Dina in the back, they formed a small battle formation.
Their initial goal was clear: to delay and wear down the enemy, reserving their powerful skills. Thus, their flight speed was very slow.
...
Elizabeth unleashed wave after wave of mental energy, taking the initiative to attack Su Yu.
The high-ranking Skrulls behind her also used their long-range attack methods, throwing their attacks at the [Spatial Lords'] shields.
But like Su Yu, Elizabeth and the Skrull high-ranking forces didn't use their full strength.
Elizabeth needed to survive for three hours, and the Skrull high-ranking forces only wanted to protect themselves. They wouldn't foolishly use their full strength against Su Yu but instead employed low-cost attack methods.
Some even revived long-unused spells below the fifth tier!
These low-cost spells, of course, couldn't break through the [Spatial Lords'] shields.
The battle quickly turned into a low-intensity attrition war.
Su Yu, Morning Star, and Aijie hid behind the two [Spatial Lords], continuously throwing small long-range skills at the enemy while reinforcing the [Spatial Lords'] shields.
Elizabeth and the Skrull high-ranking forces used low-cost spells to bombard the [Spatial Lords] while neutralizing the small skills thrown by the trio and the cat.
Both sides fought with great restraint, stopping just short of all-out attacks.
The entire battlefield fell into a stalemate.
...
In the Skrull high-level meeting room.
Seeing both sides engaged in a low-intensity attrition war, Manina and the other deities did not relax but instead grew increasingly serious.
They could see that Su Yu was waiting for reinforcements.
Would Elizabeth be able to withstand the attacks of so many high-ranking Earth forces once Yang Jian arrived, or even when the Earth's main forces reached the scene?
Manina, with a solemn face, asked Stym, "Sir Stym, the lower-tier deity Yang Jian from Earth is about to arrive, and the Earth's main forces will definitely reach the scene within three hours. Can Sir Elizabeth withstand the full assault of the enemies?"
Stym didn't answer directly but fell into deep thought.
After about half a minute, he slowly replied, "Although Earth has many strong warriors, Elizabeth has quite a few resources at her disposal. With the resources she has, it's not impossible to drag out the battle for three hours. If I were in her position, I would have the confidence to last three hours. However..."
He drew out his words at the end.
"However, what?" Manina quickly asked.
"However, these high-ranking cultivators in the spring will likely not return," Stym shook his head. "To ensure her own survival, Elizabeth will certainly use them as meat shields. After this battle, very few high-ranking individuals will survive."
