The Goddess, Please Devour the Evil Deity!-Chapter 48Vol 1. : Trying to Block with All Your Might

As the earth-shaking roar reverberated through the air, the skies seemed to rip apart in that instant. Following Marshal Shestira's order, a frenzy of soldiers opened fire towards the Thousand-faced Bird. Massive mobile fortresses roared to life, their cannons spewing brilliant flames as enormous shells streaked across the sky like meteors, crashing into the body of the Thousand-faced Bird with explosive force.

Armed helicopters skimmed low through the sky, unleashing missiles and rockets that tore through the air with ear-piercing screeches. Each explosion sent shockwaves through the surrounding space, filling the air with thick smoke and the smell of gunpowder.

Additionally,

Dozens of mechs stepped forward, their chest-mounted laser cannons and pulse guns firing in unison. Laser beams sliced through the air, targeting the Thousand-faced Bird and sparking explosions upon its flesh, where intense light mingled with the blasts.

Each shell and missile explosion was like the onset of the apocalypse, the shockwaves causing everything nearby to vibrate intensely.

Undoubtedly,

Facing a legendary Clan-level fallen beast, every soldier of the Ghost Cry Army unleashed their most formidable assault without reservation.

Under this relentless barrage, the ground and sky seemed to shatter into pieces, smoke billowed, and flames soared into the sky. Each shockwave lifted the earth, creating deep craters in the ground as flames and smoke obscured visibility. The deafening explosions echoed continuously, as if the whole world trembled at this cataclysm. The silhouette of the Thousand-faced Bird gradually blurred, disappearing into the inferno and laser beams.

...

“Indeed...”

As he rapidly evacuated the battlefield with the Aeria sisters, Hein chuckled and glanced back at the fiery scene.

Heh,

Marshal Shestira, I knew you would do this.

Though it was I who had the Valkyrie squad lure the Thousand-faced Bird here, you would never let it chase after me. Because you know well that if the Clan-level Thousand-faced Bird caught up to me, I would undoubtedly die... and so would Aeria and her sisters.

That’s right,

If you had done nothing, perhaps the Thousand-faced Bird wouldn't even bother with you.

But,

Knowing the importance of Aeria and her sisters, you would never let that monster come after us.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net, it has been stolen.

Even if you're reluctant...

Seeing everything unfold as planned, Hein’s smile grew even more smug.

"Keep up the good effort, Marshal Shestira... strive to buy us more time. Heh, heh heh..."

Hein murmured teasingly.

...

On the other side,

Compared to Hein's pleasure, Shestira was far from happy.

Hein Anlosi...

That bastard is surely laughing in secret, isn’t he?

Knowing that I would definitely intercept, so he just ran off?

"Damn creature..."

Shestira cursed coldly.

Of course, the marshal knew that now was not the time to curse at Hein. The actions of the Anlosi family would be reported to the President later for handling.

Now the focus was,

"How to deal with this thing."

Staring ahead, Shestira began to pray in her heart, hoping their assault would be effective.

However,

It seemed Shestira's prayers went unanswered.

At this moment,

Under the heavy gaze of Shestira and countless soldiers,

As the towering explosions and thick smoke gradually cleared, the gigantic figure of the Thousand-faced Bird reemerged amidst the smoke.

It suddenly spread its wings, which flapped powerfully, creating a gust of wind that swept around. The intense airflow, like a hurricane, instantly dispersed the nearby flames and smoke, the storm kicking up dust and sparks, plunging the entire battlefield into chaos.

After such a fierce bombardment,

Deep, gruesome wounds were evident on the colossal body of the Thousand-faced Bird, with dark red blood and black liquid oozing from the torn skin. These injuries seemed severe, but terrifyingly, the Thousand-faced Bird did not cease its movements.

Dark blue curse energy began to spread,

Quickly covering the Thousand-faced Bird’s wounds,

And soon, the damaged areas began to twitch violently. Black liquid gradually solidified into tough scales, and flesh regenerated at a visibly rapid pace under the embrace of the curse energy, the wounds knitting together as if they were being rewoven, appearing as if its body had never been injured.

In just a few seconds, the once evident scars had completely vanished, the Thousand-faced Bird’s body restored to its original state as if the terrible bombardment had never inflicted any real damage.

Seeing this,

All the Alliance soldiers simultaneously displayed looks of horror and despair.

Fear rapidly spread.

Noticing the change in her soldiers' expressions, Shestira bit her lip in frustration.

As expected,

Without a Heaven's Decree Knight, conventional weapons were simply incapable of inflicting serious damage on this monster.

If that's the case...

"Leina!!"

Looking at her adjutant not far away holding a sniper rifle, Shestira used her spiritual power to send a message.

"Pass the order, all Heaven's Martial ranked officers to focus attacks on the monster’s eyes, try to hold it back! And you go to the rear to prepare the 'Ray Soul Cannon' for charging!"

"Ray Soul Cannon?!"

Hearing this order, the adjutant named Leina showed a look of astonishment.

"Marshal Shestira! The Thousand-faced Bird is so close to us, using the 'Ray Soul Cannon' will involve our soldiers too!"

To this,

Shestira did not explain, but rather roared decisively and unquestionably:

"Go!"

"Yes!"

After a serious response, Leina bit her lip and quickly moved towards the Ghost Cry Army's flagship with the help of the leg flight gear.

Watching her adjutant depart, Shestira, a high-ranking Heaven's Martial realm officer, also released all her spiritual power without reservation. Enhanced by the purple glow of her spiritual power, she charged determinedly towards the terrifying bird.

Hold on,

We must hold on...

Until reinforcements arrive!

Unbeknownst to Shestira, the conversation between her and her adjutant Leina had been observed by one of the heads controlled by the Thousand-faced Bird.

Ray Soul Cannon, huh?

Using that would indeed be troublesome.

With its terrifying perception abilities capturing the conversation, a dark blue light gradually spilled from the Thousand-faced Bird’s eyes.

Meanwhile,

The other dozen dead heads controlled by this Clan-level fallen beast also began scanning the surroundings.

Observing the humans continually attacking it, the Thousand-faced Bird grew increasingly irritated.

If it weren't for these humans blocking,

It would have already completed its mission, eliminating those human brats.

And moreover,

They dared to damage my body...

They dared to harm the body bestowed by Lord Ulu Ti?!

Ah, really...

—"Unpleasant..."—

The bird's head rotated 180 degrees abruptly, a rich dark blue light suddenly overflowing from the Thousand-faced Bird’s pupils. And with the outpouring of the light, a force much more violent than before erupted.

I didn't want to bother with you,

But since you're courting death... I'll eradicate you first.

Your broken collectibles will be replenished with you.

—"Abyssal Curse Technique - Blood Ghost Banquet!"—

As the curse power on the Thousand-faced Bird intensified dramatically, its massive pale body began to transform.

Countless decaying dead human faces on its enormous wings and every crevice of its body suddenly opened their mouths, emitting ghostly howls like the final wails of the dead or whispers from the abyss.

The terrifying sound waves swept around, the air seemed to vibrate intensely, and the entire space appeared to be torn apart.

The Alliance soldiers hadn't reacted yet when they felt this overwhelming shock.

Many soldiers were instantly crushed by this oppressive force, turning pale, with a look of utter fear in their eyes. Those slightly lacking in strength directly suffered from massive internal bleeding as if struck by a severe internal explosion.

In just a few seconds, hundreds of Alliance soldiers perished in the wailing.

Yet, this was just the beginning.

After emitting a series of howls,

The thousands of dead human faces on the Thousand-faced Bird suddenly opened their glowing eyes, and countless dark blue laser beams burst forth.

Endless blue lasers, with immense penetrative power, indiscriminately swept across everything nearby.

Laser beams pierced through the air, cutting across the sky, sweeping towards the surrounding soldiers, mechs, combat aircraft, heavy tanks, and fortresses like the scythe of the Grim Reaper...

Each laser beam that hit its target caused a ground-shaking explosion, subsequently slicing the target in half, with sparks and debris scattering everywhere.

Mech bodies were cleaved in two in an instant, metal fragments danced in the air like erupting lava; combat aircraft exploded upon impact, igniting fierce fires, with wreckage falling like torn fabric; tanks and heavy mobile fortresses also could not escape, being instantly cut into charred pieces, the explosive shockwave destroying nearby trees and mountains, the ground trembled, dust billowed; soldiers hit by the lasers were instantly vaporized on the spot...

With lasers and sound waves wreaking havoc,

The military's front lines collapsed instantaneously, utterly defenseless.

Mech units, aerial support, ground firepower, all were turned to ash in this devastating strike. The entire battlefield fell into a deadly silence amidst the lingering smoke, blood splatter, and soaring flames...
