Chapter 1889: Chapter 589: Encirclement and Counter-Encirclement (6k)_2
The energy of the high-energy beams is fully infused, even high-strength alloys would explode, let alone just an ordinary floor.
Even the Transcendents equipped with high-tech armor would scatter sparks and lightning-like energy fragments under the attack of high-energy beams.
The dense high-energy beams, even when not directly hitting human bodies, cause stones to shatter and fly like shrapnel from grenades.
Those high-tech armors are not meant for brute resistance, but for temporary defense against attacks, to avoid fatal injuries and being killed by stray bullets, rapidly consuming energy in the intense attack.
However, as a professional army, they are not to be underestimated. The Mechanical Master in the team immediately deployed several machines, light blue shields rose up, temporarily intercepting the attacks, and the surviving Transcendents could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Quick, think of a solution, the shields won’t hold for long!"
The Mechanical Master urgently shouted, as he was the one who deployed the shields and knew their condition best.
These shields were originally military equipment from the Radiant Federation, and in theory, their effectiveness was excellent, being overwhelming compared to ordinary civilizations’ technology.
They could even withstand weapons from some intermediate civilizations, enduring for a day or two against a squad of similar size.
Even during the internal competitions within the forces, these shields could hold for one or two minutes.
But now these weapons, in his view, were already no weaker than those they used, not to mention the formidable Powerhouse watching them like a tiger.
Of course, when using machinery, the Mechanical Master could naturally apply his own Strength to amplify.
But as the only surviving Mechanical Master currently, with only Tier Three power, his own Strength couldn’t extend the lifespan of the shields for long.
The Mechanical Master took no offense, and the captain already understood the implication.
"Damn, where did these Believers get their weapons from...
Report the shields’ duration in real-time; others, prepare to break through with me!"
Although the captain wanted to attempt to counterattack, and they too possessed similar Energy Weapons and their own Transcendent abilities.
But under the firepower suppression, they couldn’t even lift their heads inside the shield, let alone attempt a counterattack.
The only hope was just to try to break through like when they once surrounded those Believers...
The situation had truly reversed...
The captain gritted his teeth, staring intensely through the light blue shield at the Powerhouse who was of the same 4th Rank.
"Sustain firepower suppression! They can’t hold on for much longer!"
Ellie noticed the gaze from below and fearlessly stared back.
As a believer of only 2nd Tier, she didn’t have any decent long-range attacks; compared to deploying Extraordinary Plants and controlling unwieldy Transcendent creatures, ordinary Energy Weapons were much more convenient!
"These Energy Weapons feel quite powerful...
Looking at the blast power of these beams on the ground, our civilization’s military equipment doesn’t have this power, and it doesn’t look like the standard weapons of the Three Great Civilizations either.
Where did the Church get these things..."
Being the owner of a planet, Ellie somewhat understood those common weapons in the Starry Sky.
Just in terms of her own civilization, those Energy Weapons she’s familiar with don’t compare to the ones in the hands of these Believers now.
And these Energy Weapons weren’t acquired from some place; rather, after obtaining the squad leader position, she personally went to the Church Headquarters to collect them, allegedly the new-type weapons made internally by the Church.
Using Magic Power for energy, the converted attacks also possess multiple Enchantment properties, with conversion rates comparable to the military products of the Three Great Civilizations.
Ellie was certain these weapons were definitely not from the Three Great Civilizations.
Weapons rivaling those of the Three Great Civilizations, yet also in mass production, what exactly was the Red Moon Church to which she now pledged allegiance...
Ellie’s eyes sharpened, and she raised her hand again to aim at the shields below, her other hand flashed white as another bottle of brilliant golden Potion appeared.
She had already discerned the thoughts of the Transcendents beneath the shields.
If they wanted to flee, then she had to strike first!
The Magic Power of the same color as the Potion coiled like long snakes around her hands, launching from the right hand aimed at the target.
Brilliant gold met light blue, and a dazzling light erupted from the point of contact, akin to the momentary descent of blazing Sunshine, as heat and Light burst forth from a single point.
Holy Light is merely a type of Light, imagining it as a beautification of Sunshine, so Holy Light could naturally also be seen as a kind of Sunshine, and if one wishes to create Sunshine...
4th Rank Potion Magic: Descent of Holy Light (Physical)
The general-purpose Potion circulating within the Church, proclaimed as the work of the Lord of Red Moon, paired with several other Potions as common knowledge for Believers to quickly grasp combat power after advancing to the 4th Rank.
These Potions were specifically researched for Potion Magic, but if directly used, each one would be deadly poison to the human body.
Yet Ellie speculated that this was most likely the means of some high-ranking Church official.
It was to elevate the Church’s combat power that these Potions were specially researched, granted in the name of God.
Recently, upon advancing to the 4th Rank, she gained the opportunity to contact the Church’s interior, uncovering secrets at the top level that seemed perpetually separated from ordinary Believers by a thick barrier.
Making her consider these possibilities.
Of course, this was presently unimportant to her; having already joined the Church, no matter what lay ahead, she couldn’t leave.
"Oh? There’s actually a second shield?"
Ellie raised her brows, finding another identical Potion amidst the shattered glass around.
