Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 200 - 168: A Giant Dragon Reveals Its Might, a Demigod’s Projection Falls
’A single moment’s mistake.’
’And what’s the difference between this outcome and the last?’
’It’s just as I thought. I’m still just as foolish. Otherwise, why would my wife and child have perished in those two battles?’
’Pathetic. How utterly pathetic!’
’But I refuse to accept this!!!’
He gazed at the terrifying giant palm descending from the heavens, feeling the Demigod’s pressure that seemed to freeze space itself.
In that instant, an inexplicable defiance filled Yide’s expression.
He even let out a sudden, furious roar.
But this defiance, this rage, quickly melted into resignation.
’I’ve been hiding for so many years, running for so many years. Maybe ending it all like this isn’t such a bad conclusion after all?’
At least he wasn’t dying a coward’s death in obscurity.
As for the survivors on Coral Island?
At Priest Kaven’s warning, the High Tier Human Professionals had already begun to retreat the moment the Demigod conflict erupted.
Most of them would likely escape with their lives and establish a new outpost on that deserted island.
But their lives would surely be harder than they had been on Coral Island.
That was something Yide and Priest Kaven could no longer control.
’Everything comes down to fate now!’
The moment the giant palm descended, the Flame Giant let out another explosive roar!
Wreathed in roaring flames, Yide charged toward the giant palm like a moth to a flame.
Seeing this, Priest Kaven sighed. His gaze then hardened, and he transformed into a streak of light, joining the Flame Giant in their charge against the palm.
This was their final roar!
It was their final, defiant accusation against the world.
’Heh. Interesting. You don’t see many so eager to rush to their deaths.’
The Demigod’s projection let out a final, cold laugh, then prepared to disperse.
After all, its projection was not a disposable item like the one Yide had controlled.
Although a Demigod’s projection was not a true Descent of its main body, it was still subject to many restrictions within a planet in the Material Realm.
First, the projection could exert at most one-third of the main body’s Power.
Furthermore, the cost of exerting that Power would grow exponentially.
This was a cost that could not be replenished with Magic Power alone.
It also required a great deal of time to recover.
Therefore, as the scene seemed to be drawing to a close, the Demigod turned to offer a few words of advice to its descendant.
But just as the two Professionals were about to collide with the giant palm...
And at the very instant the Demigod turned its gaze toward its descendant, the Giant Governor...
The Demigod’s projection snapped its head back!
It happened in that exact moment!
In the region where the giant palm was hurtling toward the sea, ripples of Space suddenly billowed out.
The ripples spread, looking unremarkable and harmless.
But as these ripples of Space spread, the terrifying giant palm was instantly frozen in place.
At the same time, with a crisp sound inaudible to ordinary ears—like Space itself being dislocated—
the giant palm of Element shattered!
It all happened so suddenly.
So suddenly that the two Saint Tier Professionals were left utterly bewildered.
"The Power of Space."
"Heh, Adrian, my child. It seems this venture of yours is filled with interesting developments!"
"This Power... it seems a force from an otherworldly civilization, one that recently descended upon this world, has interfered."
"Interesting. How interesting that this otherworldly force would save these natives!"
The Demigod’s projection looked down upon the Giant Governor, Adrian, letting out a strange laugh.
But the expression on the face of the Giant Governor, Adrian, was grim.
He wanted to say something!
But he didn’t know where to begin.
And just as the Giant Demon Demigod was laughing with an air of supreme, untouchable arrogance...
...an indifferent voice cut in.
"Is something funny?"
The Giant Demon Demigod’s laughter died in its throat.
Because in that instant, directly above the heads of the two bewildered Saint Tier Professionals,
a terrifying figure had appeared without any warning!
The moment this figure appeared,
the Giant Demon Demigod’s pupils contracted violently.
As for the two Saint Tier Professionals, their minds went completely blank!
Faced with such immense terror and pressure, the two Saint Tier Professionals froze, like animals caught in a deathly paralysis when startled.
Far from the Demigod’s battlefield,
countless Middle-High Tier Giant Demons, and even the fleeing Human Professionals, all saw it!
The terrifying creature that had suddenly appeared!
High in the sky, illuminated by the sun,
a creature whose entire body resembled transparent crystal had appeared.
It lay coiled in the sky, like a floating mountain range of crystal.
But this appearance lasted only for a moment before changing.
In the next instant, Lince switched his external form.
He manifested the image of a Rock Steel Giant Dragon.
And so, under the gazes of countless beings, the divine, resplendent crystal creature’s body was instantly covered in spreading, gray, steel-like patterns.
In a flash, its external form became more solid, taking on a heavy, substantial texture.
"By the Empire, what... what is that thing?"
"How can such a terrifying creature exist in the mortal world?"
"This is impossible! A creature with that Body Type can’t be a native Demon! And it definitely can’t be a mere Saint Tier existence."
"But how would a Demigod dare to Descend into the mortal world?"
"What in the world is it???"
On the side of the Giant Demons, countless of them were trembling, their eyes wide with terror.
"What are you afraid of?! All of you, calm down!"
"If that thing is a Demigod, then the great being from the Governor’s family will surely have a way to deal with it!"
