Chapter 850 – Domain Weapon vs Domain Weapon!
Although Zhao Hai just blurted those words out like it was nothing, Fei'er and the others comprehended something else. In their opinion, the ship was already the world's most powerful weapon. However, such a weapon actually had a weak point in Zhao Hai's eyes. Moreover, he was even proceeding to upgrade it!
They looked at each other and saw the color of surprise on their eyes. However, Fei'er still kept his calm as he said, "That is also good. I believe that with two domain weapons, there would be no problems in taking the city. We've also sent people to contact our races. We've given them five days to return. Even if they have troubles, they can still see our situation and then return. But if they don't return in five days, then we can assume that an accident has happened."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then let's start taking over Holy Light City."
The group nodded before they left the platform to command their army, only the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King remained. Currently, the Devil Legion was already guarding the defensive line. However, the undead were still going on with their work.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and then smiled before taking out a spatial bag and giving it to the Great Demon King. Then he said, "Your Majesty, after you head back to the Demon Space, give this to your people. This way, they'll have a way to message you whenever they need it."
The Great Demon King looked into the spatial bag and saw a lot of messenger fish bottles, numbering way more than ten thousand. The Great Demon King immediately looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, "Mister, thank you very much. This will be very useful for us." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "At present, the messenger fishes have limited functions. Later on when we improve it, you can use the messenger fish to contact many people."
The Great Demon King smiled and said, "Its state right now is still very good. With them, my life would be much easier."
The Demon Dragon King smiled as well and said, "It surely will. Sending letters is sometimes very inconvenient. With the messenger fish, everything would be more convenient."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I'll give some to Fei'er and the others as well. But not too many, just enough for them to command their army more efficiently. After all, they're still our allies."
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King laughed. At this time, Zhao Hai's platform slowly moved forward. Following the platform was the undead army. The Barbarian, Winged Pegasus, and Thunder Clan were also following closely behind. Their advance was slow, but in turn, they maintained a solid formation.
Although the army's advance wasn't quick, they were also quite close to Holy Light City. Before long, Zhao Hai could see a huge city in the horizon.
The city was huge, enough for more than 20 million people to settle in. It's walls reached a height of over a hundred meters, and panning about a thousand li(500km). It was bigger than the cities of ancient china by many folds.
Such a city can only appear in a world with magic, it was impossible for it to exist back on Earth.
At this time, the entire Holy Light City was surrounded by a layer of translucent light. They had already erected their formation and was ready to meet Zhao Hai's attack.
Zhao Hai slowly stood up and walked to the edge of the platform. He gazed at the city and exclaimed, "It's majestic. I'm afraid it's much bigger than your capital, Your Majesty. I didn't expect huge cities like these to exist in the Divine Realm."
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King also stood up and went to either side of Zhao Hai to look at Holy Light City. The Great Demon King exclaimed in surprise as well, "It's truly grand. No city in the Demon Realm and Ark Continent could compare to this one. I'm afraid only the Divines can make it. It seems like there are some truths to the greatness of the Divine Race."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Their claim to be gods seems to hold some truth. However, they shouldn't have provoked me. Even if they are gods, they still wouldn't escape my revenge."
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King both laughed. They didn't think that Zhao Hai was joking, he did have the strength to back his words.
As they got closer to Holy Light city, the view got clearer and clearer. On the walls of the city were Divine Race soldiers. The walls were very wide, allowing more than soldiers to be occupied on top of it. Magic cannons and ballistas used to defend the city were also on the walls, ready to fire a full salvo when the fight starts.
Zhao Hai's platform stopped, causing the entire alliance army to stop as well. Their position was beyond the range of both magic cannons and ballista so they weren't worried of any attacks coming their way.
Then Zhao Hai had his platform move around the city. Holy Light City was indeed really good. The walls were made of stone and looked very tough.
After some time, Zhao Hai returned to his original position. At this time, Fei'er, Yue, and Shan had arrived at the platform. The three people didn't show their surprise, they were already used to seeing it.
Zhao Hai gave a spatial bag to each of them and telling them about the messenger fish. After that, he asked them, "What is Holy Light city's status in the Taurus Continent? Is it a big city in the Divine Realm?"
Fei'er was very happy upon receiving the messenger fish, and when he heard Zhao Hai, he immediately placed the bag aside and answered, "There aren't a lot of cities as big as Holy Light City in the Taurus Continent, only ten. As for its ranking, it's about at rank five. Shan, did I remember it correctly?"
Shan shook his head and said, "If I can remember, Holy Light City is 4th biggest in the Taurus Continent. Their biggest is Divine Will City, then Divine Purpose City, Divine Light City after that, fourth is Holy Light City, and fifth is Holy Earth City. Then the next five is Sacred Artifact City, Divine Scripture City, Divine Grace City, Taurus Holy City, and Holy Sea City."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "What ranking is this based on? Is it by area or population?"
Fei'er nodded and said, "It's calculated based on both land area and population. The Taurus Continent's biggest city, Divine Will City, is said to be the place where the Deity first appeared. Therefore, it held great significance to the Taurus Continent. It's area is about twice as large as Holy Light City, but the population is roughly the same."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's really amazing how they are able to make cities that big. Imagine the resources they needed to use."
Fei'er smiled bitterly and said, "The Divine Race spent a lot of manpower and materials in order to further expand their cities over the years. I even heard that when they conquered the Ark Continent, they would proceed to do their expansion once more. They would gather several people from the different planes to help them expand their cities."
Zhao Hai's expression turned cold, "They would use this method to exhaust the strength of our planes. So even if we want to resist them, then it would be impossible."
Fei'er sullenly nodded and said, "If not for this, we wouldn’t have been anxious in rebelling. If we don't rebel, then we would be weakened forever. Actually, our move is too hasty, we weren't even able to make proper preparations. However, we don't have any other choice other than to make a move."
Zhao Hai nodded, he smiled faintly and then said, "However, the Divines didn't expect to encounter a problem in the Ark Continent. In their minds, they thought that the Ark Continent didn't have any God-ranks. As long as they change the laws of the plane, then it would be very easy to conquer the continent."
Fei'er and the others kept silent. They themselves knew that what Zhao Hai said was the truth since this was what they thought as well.
Zhao Hai looked at the time and then gave a nod. He looked at the others and then said, "It's time. Prepare the army. Your Majesty, Demon Dragon, it's time to show your strength. As long as you deal with the shield, then everything can be left to us. Fei'er, you and the others go back and wait for my signal." The group nodded and went on to prepare. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai stayed on the platform and stayed still. At this time, Demon Dragon and the Great Demon King returned to their carriages and then supported their Domains. The Demon Dragon King established his Black Dragon Domain, then the dragon's clawed hand grasped the sword chariot before throwing himself towards Holy Light City.
On the other hand, the Great Demon King's Domain was a giant devil. After his Domain turned into a giant, he grasped on the chains of the devil's chariot, turning the chariot into a large morningstar. After that, he also soared towards Holy Light City.
Those at Holy Light City didn't expect Zhao Hai to send two Domain Weapons after them. They thought Zhao Hai would use his magic cannons and javelins so they were very eager to teach him a lesson. Unfortunately for them, their plans had become useless.
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King arrived outside Holy Light City. They were completely unaffected by the magic cannons and the arrows. Demon Dragon held his sword and swung straight towards the city. The Great Demon King did the same thing with his morningstar.
Both attacks smashed towards the city, however the translucent shield just trembled slightly. It seems like the two attacks didn't affect the shield.
However, Zhao Hai didn't worry. Although the two attacks seem to have no effect, Zhao Hai can sense the shield weakening, it's power has been reduced by a lot. Zhao Hai believed that with a few more attacks the shield of the city will be broken through.
Zhao Hai also discovered that the Domain Weapons were able to block both the magic cannons and the ballista. Naturally, this was because Domain weapons were higher levelled items compared to the magic cannons and ballistas. Moreover, they reinforced one's Domain, this allowed the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King to almost ignore all of the attacks from Holy Light City.
Just as Zhao Hai thought about how easy it would be for the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King to break through, two figures suddenly appeared from Holy Light City. These two figures were two knight type Domains. Moreover, these two Domains held two spears in their hands.
The appearance of these two people made Zhao Hai stare. He didn't think that the Divine Race would prepare two Domain Weapons to deal with him.
In fact, Zhao Hai didn't know, but just like what Demon Dragon said, the Divine Race were prepared in dealing with Zhao Hai. They took the people from the town and villages into Holy Light City while arranging two Domain Weapons in the spatial right. However, Lu Wei suddenly gave word that he wanted to personally deal with Zhao Hai. Because of this, the Divine Race changed their plan and relocated the two Domain Weapons to Holy Light City. They believed that with Lu Wei present, the two Domain Weapons wouldn't need to be used.
Unfortunately, Lu Wei failed, causing Zhao Hai to continue his advance towards Holy Light City after routing the army. This caused them to be caught off guard.
Fortunately, the two Domain Weapons were stationed in the City. This caused the city to have some form of resistance. With the two Domain Weapons, Zhao Hai should be dealt with.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Hai's side had two Domain Weapons as well. This caused the two Domain Weapon experts to make a move ahead of time. These two were initially meant to deal with Zhao Hai, first they were relocated by Lu Wei, and now they have to deal with the two Demon experts. Their purpose had been driven back once more.
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King similarly didn't expect that the enemy would have two Domain Weapon experts. But since the two of them were veterans in battle, they immediately went and fought the enemies two on two.
Both the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King were peak existences in the Demon Realm, nobody was stronger than them when it came to battles. For them to reach their current level meant that they were extremely rich with battle experience.
Similarly, those bearing Domain Weapons in the Divine Realm were elites of their clans who had fought in many battles. This fight had turned into an intense battle. There was no clear winner between two sides.
From what Zhao Hai saw, the Great Demon King held an advantage against his enemy while the Demon Dragon King was falling behind. Deciding this battle in a short period of time would be impossible.
Chapter 851 – Second Improvement?
Zhao Hai understood why the Demon Dragon King was at a disadvantage. This was because the Demon Dragon King had just acquired his Domain Weapon. Therefore, he wasn't as skilled in handling it as his opponent. On the other hand, the Great Demon King had his devil's chariot for a long time, causing him to be comfortable when using it.
Zhao Hai wanted to see if there were more Domain Weapon experts left in Holy Light City. But after looking for some time, it seems like there were no other experts waiting inside.
At this time, Fei'er and the others arrived by Zhao Hai's side. They were looking at the fight with an ugly expression.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "What's wrong? Worried that they'll lose?"
Fei'er shook his head and said, "From what I can see, it seems like the fight couldn't be finished quickly. I'm not worried that the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King would lose, but this is not good for our plan. With no Domain Weapons available, we won't be able to pierce the city in a short time."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, let's just stay here for some time. Besides, aren't we waiting for your messengers to come back? Let's just observe the Divine Race for some time." When he heard this, Fei'er couldn't help but stare. Then he quickly understood what Zhao Hai meant. They would tussle with the Divine Race while waiting for the messengers to come back. If they went on to capture Holy Light city right now, then they would definitely be met with the Divine Race's counterattack. In this case, the Divine Race might block their troops from coming over.
Time is what they need right now, not Holy Light City. And just waiting outside the city works for them since Zhao Hai will be providing the supplies. They won't need any outpost nor supply chains. Where Zhao Hai was is where their base is located.
Fei'er nodded and then he asked, "Mister, when can you use your ship?"
Zhao Hai turned his head to Fei'er and smiled, "Rest assured, it'll be done soon."
Fei'er didn't say anything else. He knew that Zhao Hai had a great hatred with the Divine Race. He definitely won't make them feel any better.
The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King were still fighting with the two Divine Race experts. Zhao Hai didn't stop them nor did he attack the city. It seems like he was just waiting for the fight to end.
The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King had already been fighting for two hours. Nobody can help them. Everyone present understood that this fight would take a few days before some result can be seen.
Both sides drew back, they knew that there was no point in battling it out at this time. Zhao Hai saw this happening and then waved his hand. Behind him a bell sound has been heard. This was a signal for the army to retreat.
After hearing this sound, the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King immediately made a slow retreat. At the same time, the two Divine Race experts didn't chase them and instead headed back to Holy Light City.
The two Divine Race experts knew about Zhao Hai's strength. If Zhao Hai attacks Holy Light City, then he might take it. However, Zhao Hai would still lose a lot. It was because of this that the two Divine Race experts weren't afraid. They knew that Zhao Hai couldn't lose too much people, or else he would be finished. This was accentuated by the fact that Zhao Hai only sent the Domain Weapon experts to attack, he wanted to break the city in one go. But now that those two experts were blocked, Zhao Hai naturally wouldn't let his ordinary army attack.
The Great Demon King Demon Dragon King retreated to Zhao Hai's platform. Both of them had ashamed expressions as they made a salute to Zhao Hai, then the Great Demon King said, "Mister, we have disappointed you."
Zhao Hai looked at them and laughed, "It's fine, the other side also had two experts, I can see that. Let me tell you about my plan. I want to stay here in Holy Light City for a few days. What do you think?" The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King had rich experience in battle, so when they heard Zhao Hai, their eyes immediately shone. The Great Demon King looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, you mean you want to drag time?"
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Yes. Your Majesty, there's no need to go all out in the fight. Your life is valuable, it's not worth it to expend all your energy. Just tussle with those experts for a few days. I'll take care of the rest."
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King laughed as well. On the other hand, Fei'er and the others couldn't help but force a smile. They knew that those Domain Weapon Experts of the Divine Race weren't ordinary people.
Zhao Hai looked at the group and said, "Alright, let's end today with this. After we retreat, go back and take a rest. Let's see if Holy Light City dares to sneak an attack. If they come, I'll personally give them a lesson."
The Great Demon King smiled and said, "I think they won't come. They know that we have Domain Weapons. It would be foolish for them to attack."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's true. Alright, everyone go and take a rest. Don't attack in the next few days. We aren't capturing the city, we're only delaying for time. Conserve your strength so when the time comes we won't have any mishaps."
Fei'er and the others nodded before they turned around and left. After they left, the Demon Dragon King immediately said, "Mister, I'm very sorry for disappointing you." Zhao Hai looked at the Demon Dragon King and smiled, "It's fine, I'm not disappointed at all. You just obtained the sword chariot so you aren't very familiar with it. Don't put it to heart."
The Great Demon King also comforted, "Demon Dragon, don't let it get to you. You had just obtained your Domain Weapon. Being able to wield it like you did was already quite a surprise. I remember the first time I obtained my devil's chariot, it took me a long time before I could use it comfortably."
At this time, Zhao Hai can hear a prompt, "Universal Processing Machine has come out with a supplementary design. Needs host's confirmation to proceed with the improvement. Can use crystallization ability to improve the item's armor as well as increase the cannons' aggressiveness."
Zhao Hai gawked, then he turned to the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King before he said, "Your Majesty, Demon Dragon. I'm afraid I'll have to leave you here. I have a small matter to process. Please take the time to take a rest."
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King didn't ask Zhao Hai what his matter was. They just nodded and turned around to head towards their carriages while Zhao Hai's figure appeared on the Space.
Laura and the others were also in front of the processing machine. They don't know what just happened but they could understand that it was related to the Hell King's ship.
After seeing Zhao Hai come, they immediately made way. Zhao Hai looked at the processing machine and into the image of the ship. He discovered that there was an additional description shown there.
Zhao Hai selected the description and saw the image of the ship change. The entire Hell King's ship had turned into a ship made out of transparent crystals. It still had its eighteen story deck and 9 cabins. On both sides were cannons that totalled to 162. Below the cabin was another deck, Zhao Hai can see that the yin-yang pool has been moved to this deck.
After seeing this design, Zhao Hai couldn't help but nod. It was truly good. Zhao Hai looked at the whole ship again, the yin-yang pool still powered the whole ship, like a reactor providing energy to the whole structure. This pool can also absorb energy from outside, no matter what source, it would take it in.
The ship was now covered with this unknown crystal. It made the ship more sturdy, almost to the point of being invincible.
At the same time, the cannons looked more interesting as well. The cannons can emit energy beams that are much stronger than a God-rank expert. As for how strong it was? Zhao Hai couldn't wait to try it out.
This ship had many designs unique to the immortal cultivation world. It can fly in the sky, run on land, swim in the water, and even drill underground.
Besides these, it can also change it shape into big or small with no changes to its speed. Most importantly, the ship had absorbed some abilities from the Space. The entire ship except the topmost which was reserved for Zhao Hai, are fully enclosed decks and cabins. They can be loaded with both people and undead, 100 thousand people or ten million undead!
Chapter 852 – How to Deal With the Divine Race?
Zhao Hai wondered why there was a huge disparity between the amount of people and undead being loaded to the ship. Upon thinking about it, people would need rooms to stay, therefore, the Space would allocate bigger spaces for them. On the other hand, the undead were different. It was just like buses, if you don't care for comfort, then you could place more people inside than the amount prescribed.
Such a design might be good, but it held no significance to Zhao Hai. He has the Space, so he didn't need to think about loading people on the ship. But no matter what, this design was still quite good.
Most importantly, Zhao Hai wanted to see how much it would cost to upgrade the ship once more. If it was several millions of gold coins, then Zhao Hai was afraid that he would definitely go broke this time.
But after he looked at it, Zhao Hai felt great happiness. The upgrade was actually free! He can just directly confirm and it would add 12 hours to the overall production time. Without hesitation, Zhao Hai pressed confirm.
After waiting for Zhao Hai, Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, what happened?" Then Zhao Hai told them about the second improvement to the Hell King's ship. This caused them to be happy, after all, the more formidable the ship was, the better it would be for them.
Once the group returned to the villa, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, are you really planning to spend a few days fighting the Divine Race?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Why not. Let the Divines be happy right now. But after Fei'er's people arrive, then we can deal with the Divine Race. And as long as the Hell King's ship is completed, I can deal with them quickly."
Lizzy smiled and said, "We can afford to wait a few days. The underworld and the Atlanta Plane has no immediate threat to us. We can just focus on dealing with the Taurus Divines. Right, did the past few days have any effect on Fei'er and the others?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's great if there's some effects, that is exactly what I want to see.."
Lizzy and the others stared, at this time Megan opened her mouth and asked, "Brother Hai, what do you mean? Do you want to receive Fei'er and the others to the Space?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Why not? If their people lost too much, then wouldn't it be easier for us to take them to the Space? In any case, we have so many backgrounds, it wouldn't be bad if they were to migrate."
Laura and the others chuckled. At this time, Cai'er arrived by Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, the God-rank potions are done. Will we be sending them to the Ark Space?"
Zhao Hai stared, then he nodded and said, "Alright, let's go and deliver them." The ten God-rank potions have been made, but they were yet to be given to the people of the Ark Continent.
These ten potions were going to be distributed according to Green's arrangement. Each race would have two bottles. Although the Humans had several big Empires, they can still be considered to be one group, so they only had two bottles to share among themselves.
Zhao Hai already thought about it. After the races had enough God-ranks, he will take them out of the Space and have them participate in the battles to let their strengths improve as soon as possible.
The delivery of the potion went by smoothly. Now that the power of the Space has been proven, the people's attitude towards Zhao Hai had undergone a fundamental change. Part of it was due to the broadcasts while some were caused by the Space.
After handing the potions over, Zhao Hai came out of the Space. Then he had his staff turn into a platform and just stayed there, looking at Holy Light City's direction.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also wanted to see the plants in the Divine Realm. The place had plenty of fauna, majority of them were better versions of the ones in the Ark Continent. After Zhao Hai sent the those to the Space, there was no prompt. It seems like the Space still classified them as the same plants.
Also, after the plants of the Ark Continent were taken to the Space, they themselves had been upgraded. It might even be possible that they were better than those in the Divine Realm. So it wasn't a surprise that there was no prompt from the Space.
Before long, the Demon Dragon King and Great Demon King arrived at Zhao Hai's platform. They looked at Zhao Hai staring into the distance and the looked at each other. They didn't know what Zhao Hai was doing.
At this time, Demon Dragon opened his mouth and said, "Mister, did something happen? What's wrong?" Zhao Hai turned his head to the two of them and then said, "Nothing, I was just looking at the Divine Race and then thought about the Ark Continent. Your Majesty, Demon Dragon, how do you think we should treat the commoners of the Divine Race?"
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King gawked. Then they found out that they too were unable to reply. If they were to decide, then they would just kill all of them. But after listening to Zhao Hai, they thought that it not all of the Divines were cruel enough.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I was thinking of killing them all. However, I found out that I couldn't bear being as cruel as the Divines. Those commoners also had things they were good at."
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King were stuck not knowing what to say. After some time, Demon Dragon said, "How about turning them into slaves?"
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. To be honest, if he were to turn them into slaves, then he might as well kill them all. Zhao Hai was a person born in the modern age, he had a strong dislike towards slavery.
Demon Dragon saw that Zhao Hai doesn't agree to this idea. He was then again stuck with not knowing what to say. There were too many Divines, dealing with them would be too difficult.
After some time, Zhao Hai forced a smile and said, "Forget it, let's just wait until that time comes. The two of you still need to work hard tomorrow. Go challenge them and just drag it on for another day. Let's wait for my ship to be done and then we'll deal with the city."
The two nodded, then the Great Demon King looked at Holy Light City and said, "The Divines have been used to being overbearing these years. It's time to teach them a good lesson." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Being overbearing is no good, sooner of later, they would collapse. Alright, let's stop thinking about them. Let's share a few cups, I'll call Fei'er and the others as well."
After the Great Demon King heard that Zhao Hai wanted to call Fei'er and the others, he said, "Mister, do you also intend to take Fei'er and the others to the Space?"
Zhao Hai looked at the Great Demon King and smiled, "Your Majesty already guessed it? To be honest, I'd like to do that. However, I still need to look at what they think. If they don't want to, then we can just forget it. If they agree, then giving them a Space would be no problem."
The Great Demon King smiled, if anything, this only made him more curious about Zhao Hai's Space. He already knew about the Ark Space and the Demon Space, he wanted to know what other things Zhao Hai had.
The day went by calmly, the Divines in Holy Light City didn't dare to attack Zhao Hai and the others. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai and the others had a rare moment of relaxation. They drank quite a bit of liquor, Fei'er and the others were even somewhat drunk.
The next morning, Zhao Hai made an order to have the army set up outside of Holy Light City. Then the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King went on to attack the two Domain Weapon experts before retreating just like the day before.
The Divine Race felt strange. Why did Zhao Hai choose this method? Would he just attack them like this time and time again?
In the evening, after Zhao Hai went back to the Space, he took a look at the processing machine. The time was reflected there, in about ten hours, the upgrade would be completed.
Ten hours. After seeing the timer, Zhao Hai couldn't help but show a brutal smile. In ten hours, he would personally break through Holy Light City.
They had a good night's rest. The next morning, Zhao Hai had his breakfast before going back to the processing machine. It showed that only two hours remained. Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry so he came out of the Space and informed the people that they need to wait for two hours.
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King knew what Zhao Hai meant, so they just stayed in their carriages and waited for two hours to go by.
At the same time, although Fei'er and the others didn't know the reason why Zhao Hai decided to wait for two hours, they still didn't ask questions. They were now relying on Zhao Hai, so naturally they wouldn't offend him over this very small matter.
On the other hand, Holy Light City was waiting for the enemies to arrive. However, they actually didn't come, this caused those inside the city to be anxious.
Two hours was neither quick nor slow. At that time, Zhao Hai was in the Space looking at the Atlanta continent and the underworld's actions. When a few minutes remained, Zhao Hai and the others proceeded towards the processing machine, quietly looking at the timer as it counted down.
As time passed, the groups' heartbeat almost harmonized with the ticking down of the clock. Although they already knew what the ship would look like, they were still anxious to see it in person.
Finally, the timer turned to zero. The processing machine released a white light. As the ship appeared in front of them, Zhao Hai and the others were stunned.
What appeared in front of Zhao Hai was a palm-sized ship. It was golden and looked like it was made of crystal. It looked very beautiful, just like a piece of art.
Zhao Hai gently rotated the ship in front of him. It was really good, this was the Hell King's ship that he was looking forward to!
Chapter 853 – The Hell King's Ship Shows It's Might!
Beautiful, it was too beautiful. Although they knew that it was a lethal weapon, Zhao Hai still couldn't bear to admire the beauty of this thing.
Laura and the others were also looking at the ship with shining eyes. To be honest, Laura was thinking that the name 'Hell King's Ship' was now unsuitable for the ship. This was because the ship seemed to have abandoned its ghastly nature. The engravings were still terrifying, but it it didn't express evil. A lot of people liked to engrave scary images not to be evil but just to intimidate their enemies.
Laura grabbed the ship on Zhao Hai's hand and said, "It's beautiful. Brother Hai, how about we make more. Can we do that?"
Zhao Hai turned to Laura and smiled, "Rest assured, if you like it, we can have as many of them as you want. But unfortunately, I don't have the ability to make more of them at this time."
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Alright, I believe you. But Brother Hai, can this small thing, really expand countless times?'
Zhao Hai smiled faintly as the ship on Laura's hand started to fly away and increased in size. It got bigger and bigger as it became as large as a city. In the Ark Continent, it could be considered to be a major city.
The changes on the ship made Laura and the others exclaim in surprise. Zhao Hai's appearance was also somewhat similar. If he kept increasing its size, then it might not be able to exit the spatial rift.
Zhao Hai turned to Laura and said, "How is it? Good? Come, let's head up. Let's ride the ship as I direct the undead to battle."
As soon as they heard this, Laura and the others immediately flew towards the ship. Zhao Hai smiled before he urged the ship to go forward.
The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King were quite anxious. Their strength was still on its peak. Their battles in the past two days were quite short, so they didn't lose too much power. It can be said that their fights were more of a warm-up than anything else. When Zhao Hai told them to wait for two hours, the two immediately knew that Zhao Hai's ship was on the verge of completion. It was because of this that they were that anxious, they wanted to see what Zhao Hai's ship looked like.
Fei'er and the others were also waiting. They weren't that worried about their situation. In any case, Zhao Hai already told them that he intends to drag the time for a few days.
At this time, a huge spatial rift suddenly appeared in mid-air. Almost everyone present noticed the huge crack, even the Divines in Holy Light City. While their attention was focused on the rift, a incomparably huge ship slowly appeared from it.
Everyone looked at the huge ship. It was too beautiful. The golden translucent hull, the dark blue waves underneath it, the sharp and long tip, the ship's high tower, the wind chimes, all of them were magnificently crafted. They collectively were able to make the ship extremely gorgeous.
Zhao Hai and the others calmly stood on the ship's bow, calmly looking at Holy Light City. At this time, the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King reacted. They looked at the ship with amazement. They knew that Zhao Hai was upgrading the ship, they just didn't expect that it would change to this degree.
The two Demons looked at the ship and then to their carriages. At this time, they felt that their carriages were incomparably tiny.
After the Hell King's ship completely stopped, the Great Demon King and the others flew towards it, this included Fei'er's group as well. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Is everyone prepared? We'll be taking Holy Light City today."
The Great Demon King was amazed at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, this is your upgraded ship? It's so beautiful. I can't imagine that a ship could be this dazzling." The Demon Dragon King nodded, "It's truly beautiful. In the past, the ship had this ghastly nature, as if it came from the underworld. But this ship didn't have that feeling at all. Mister, this achievement is too astonishing."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and didn't comment. He turned to the group and said, "We'll talk about that later. We're taking Holy Light city today, does anybody have any opinions?"
The group shook their heads. To be honest, after Zhao Hai had upgraded his ship, they had already lost their desire to be treated as equal. At this point, they only wanted Zhao Hai to deal with the Divine Race.
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled, "Alright, since nobody has any other thoughts, then we'll proceed. Your Majesty, Demon Dragon, you can store your carriages and step on the ship. You'll not be needing them today. Fei'er, order your army to follow behind the ship. After we break the defensive formation, I will send the undead army to block their retreat. Meanwhile, you and the others will move and clear all those who resists."
The group gave an assuring nod. Then Zhao Hai smiled as he commandeered the ship to head towards Holy Light City. The Divines on the city had already seen the ship. They haven't seen a ship as huge as this before, all of them couldn't help but panic.
Zhao Hai didn't care about their reaction as he slowly led the ship forward. Zhao Hai didn't let the ship speed up, he wanted to use this opportunity to pressure the Divines to react.
Before long, the Divine Race responded. The two Domain Weapon experts proceeded to rush out from the city. They had no other choice, otherwise, deserters would start to crop up. Like what Zhao Hai's group had guessed, the soldiers of the city weren't comprised of regular ones. There were citizens who took up their weapons to fight. Although they weren't weak, their battle sense was worse than the Divine Race army.
The two Domain Weapon experts quickly increased their size. When they finally saw Zhao Hai, they immediately launched an assault. However, the scene quickly turned into a joke. It was just like two knights heading out to see in order to stab a megaton-class ship.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and smiled. The ship stayed on its current speed and didn't react. It leisurely advanced as the two experts approached.
At this moment, a sudden wave hit the two experts, destroying their Domains. Their whole person immediately turned to ice as their Domain Weapons were taken into the ship. The bodies were also taken in by Zhao Hai. After a wave of his hand, two new undead walked out of the cabin.
After seeing Zhao Hai's method, Fei'er and the others couldn't help but be more afraid. They didn't know how strong the ship actually was, but they knew that it's true might didn't rely on the waves below. Still, the waves were still able to decimate the experts that the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King were on equal strength with. They were even turned into undead immediately, they couldn't help but shiver in fright.
However, the surprises didn't stop there. The Hell King's ship proceeded to fly slowly towards the city. The Divines in the city also saw their experts being erased in front of them. Now that there was nobody capable of blocking the ship, the Divines couldn't help but get flustered. They panicked even more. However, the soldiers were still able to stabilize their situation. It didn't take too long before magic cannons and ballistas started to attack the ship.
But people soon discovered that these attacks were useless. The ship might not be completely closed in, but on could see the waves beneath it block the attacks from going through.
At this time, the ship had finally arrived in front of the city's protective shield. The ship's front proceeded to clash with shield despite its slow advance. However, like a balloon being pricked by a needle, the protective shield eventually popped. It dented for a moment before it totally vanished.
But the ship still kept going directly towards the city. Aside from its front bow, the hull was also quite formidable as it slammed towards the city's wall. The originally thick wall seemed to become as fragile as paper. The ship didn’t have any difficulties smashing through as it continued its advance towards the city.
The Divine Race finally devolved into total panic. Not only the new recruits, even the veterans were panicking. And as this spectacle played out, the magic cannons on both sides of this ship automatically changed their aim and before long more than 100 beams of red light blasted through the rest of the city walls.
The explosion wasn't something one would expect. There was no earth shattering noise. As the red lights hit the walls of the city, the white stone immediately vaporized. The walls, including the magic cannons, ballistas, and Divine Race soldiers, had disappeared into thin air.
Zhao Hai looked at the situation as he expression changed. He bit his lip as he whispered, "It's too strong!"
Laura and the others who were near him could hear his voice. They looked at Zhao Hai and laughed. Their actions elicited a response from the Great Demon King and the others. They couldn't help but turn their heads towards the women.
Zhao Hai restored his expression as he waved his hand. Then large quantities of undead started to come out of the ship's cabin and headed towards the city. Fei'er and the others saw this and also had their armies join.
At this time, there was no resistance inside Holy Light City. This was because Zhao Hai had underestimated the ship's attacking strength. He didn't expect the magic cannons and ballistas to disappear just like that. Millions of people on the walls were vaporized by the ship's cannons.
The Great Demon King looked at all of these and then looked at Zhao Hai, "Mister, how do you want to deal with the Divines? To be honest, it's quite difficult being on your side. We rarely get any chances to feel accomplished."
When Zhao Hai and the others heard the Great Demon King, they couldn't help but laugh. They didn't expect the ruler of the Demons to be able to crack a joke.
After some time, Zhao Hai calmed down. Then he turned to Laura and said, "Laura, how do you want to deal with the Divines? They're full of hatred towards me."
Laura looked at the panic-stricken Divines, she had no immediately answer to the question. After some time she said, "Brother Hai, what do you want to do? You can't just kill them all. Didn't we used to be on the same state as them?" Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. To be honest, he didn't have the heart to kill the children. Although he knew that the Divines were his enemy, he still couldn't bear being too cruel to those uninvolved.
After some time, Zhao Hai said, "Kill all who resist. As for those who surrendered, throw them into the Space and just let things run their own course."
Laura smiled bitterly, in his mind this was already the best decision. Moreover, Zhao Hai had found out that there were a lot of commoners inside Holy Light City.
Holy Light City can house 20 million people. But now, the population inflated to near 30 million.
At first glance, one could see that they were the people who used to occupy the empty villages a few days ago. Zhao Hai understood that they must have been afraid and thought that Holy Light City was safe.
Zhao Hai didn't become polite. He had his undead take those who didn't resist into the Space. The place he took them was a background with no inhabitants within. He would leave them there and see where they'll end up. As for those who resisted, they were killed and made into undead.
Zhao Hai still had sympathy, but too much of it is harmful in the battlefield. If you sympathized with an enemy who didn't share the same thought, they you would end up suffering huge losses. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't hold back against those who decided to rebel.
Holy Light City had turned chaotic. But as the skies darkened, the place started to calm down. This didn't meant that the Divines had hidden themselves, instead, it was due to Zhao Hai killing all who resisted while throwing those who didn't to the Space.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also plundered all of the weapons in the city. Besides daily necessities and food, everything was thrown to the Space. The supplied that remained were all handed over to Fei'er and the others. This would provide them with enough food for the following days, so Zhao Hai didn't need to give them supplies anymore.
