The head of the goat-horned demon was shattered by the blaster, and the black water that its body turned into became clear as if it had been purified.
Demons from other spaces who come to the real universe, or creatures whose souls are plundered and whose bodies are possessed by demons, will turn into a pool of smelly black water when they are physically destroyed.
Even if the body is physically destroyed, it is no big deal to the devil.
This approach only banishes them back to a different space, but cannot completely destroy their essence. Under certain conditions, they can return to the real universe.
Unless Sui Bian personally carried out psychic plunder.
However, the strange behavior of the goat-horned and snake-bodied demons after they were physically destroyed was due to the special bolt round called "Moonlight".
The warhead of the moonlight blaster contains the water of the full moon, which can purify the pollution from other spaces and hell planes.
The water of the full moon can also severely damage demons. After being expelled back to a different space, it will take a very long time for them to return to their original state.
This is why the Blood Demon and Samael who invaded the earth initially regarded Artemis as a thorn in their side.
The giant crystal at the bottom of the Full Moon Lake, which was originally located in Bulgaria, has long been moved by Umbrella to Titan, which specializes in training Gray Knights and ghost agents.
This move was equivalent to destroying the Moonlight Temple, where Artemis once lived, and the Full Moon Lake.
But this move was carried out with the full assistance of Artemis.
The current giant crystal is placed in the northern hemisphere of Titan, in the center of a huge blue lake.
Therefore, the name of the lake is also Full Moon. After all, the key to making the water of the Full Moon is the crystal and Artemis.
After taking care of the two demons, Artemis glanced at the warehouse where the civilians were hidden, but didn't pay much attention.
She grasped the small-caliber bolter in her hand, walked toward the end of the one-way street, and said: "Sweep the demons."
"yes."
"Dong, dong..."
The sound of magnetic boots stepping on the ground became farther and farther, until it completely disappeared on this one-way road, leaving behind the airborne warehouse that was automatically closing the door.
As for the civilians inside the warehouse, they had no idea what was going on outside. Out of fear, no one dared to open the gate and go outside to check.
Gray Knights are even more top-secret than ghost agents, and most employees within the company have never known about them.
All I know is that Titan is an exclusive training planet where even A-level employees need to submit an application before they can land on it. The UNSC and UEG have no right to visit it, let alone the civilians hiding in the warehouse.
This does not mean that the Gray Knights will massacre all innocent people in order to keep it secret, but if they determine that the pollution in the alien space has reached a certain level, they will still take necessary measures.
The current Arcadia is still within the control of Artemis and the others, so they will not take extreme measures to deal with it for the time being.
Get off the one-way street.
Artemis and the five Gray Knights used moonlight to blast arrows to "purify" all the demons that had not figured out the current situation.
They efficiently cleaned up the dirt until they reached the main road in District 11.
There are more than a dozen uncorrupted UNSC Army soldiers remaining here.
The soldiers used the power increase provided by the mechanical skeleton to push and move abandoned vehicles, forming a simple defense line in the center of the main road.
Relying on this line of defense, the soldiers were engaged in a fierce battle with a group of crazy believers and a bull-headed demon with red skin and a bone hammer.
However, the demon, which had expanded to about five meters in size, had no intention of joining the battle.
It was sitting on the roof of a bus, watching with interest the believers and soldiers fighting each other, enjoying the "visual feast" of human death.
"Second Lieutenant! We can't hold on any longer!"
"Yesterday there was a mutiny in the army, and today we are facing a group of lunatics, and there is also a fucking demon! What on earth is going on in this world!"
Among the hundreds of crazy believers, there are also the special teams of police officers and special teams who originally believed in Samael but have now switched to the "embrace" of the bull-headed demon.
The huge gap in numbers and the shortage of ammunition made the soldiers miserable, and there was a possibility of being engulfed by crazy believers at any time.
"damn it!"
The second lieutenant in charge of the remaining soldiers cursed loudly, replaced the last magazine in his pistol, turned to look at a soldier carrying an anti-tank rocket launcher, and shouted:
"Sanchez! Don't keep that cannon. Even if we die, we have to take that Minotaur away with us!"
"Yes! Ensign!"
The soldier named Sanchez threw the gun aside, put the anti-tank rocket launcher on his right shoulder, pointed it at the Minotaur and pulled the trigger.
"Wha—!"
The small anti-tank missile was shot out of its barrel and rushed towards the Minotaur along the white road.
"boom--!"
The missile successfully hit the demon and exploded violently. Fire and smoke rose rapidly. The shock wave also knocked down believers standing not far away and shattered the glass of nearby buildings.
This movement successfully brought the believers' crazy attacks to a standstill. They all turned and looked behind, fearing that their new master would also suddenly disappear.
"Hahaha!"
However, their new master was unscathed and walked out of the smoke with a hearty laugh. He stared at the soldiers with his red eyes and said:
"Yes, yes, humans are indeed an interesting species!
My devout children! Capture these brave and fearless soldiers alive and make them our companions! Go!"
After the bull-headed demon finished speaking, a visible scarlet light emitted from the believers.
"For blood!"
"For killing!"
Feeling the "blessing of God", the believers couldn't stop cheering loudly and continued to launch a crazy charge to capture these unscrupulous soldiers alive for the Lord.
"Dang! Dang!"
"Poof! Poof!"
But the moonlight explosive missiles easily tore apart the body blessed by the "god", and the believers exploded in rows.
Immediately afterwards, Artemis and the five Gray Knights quickly crossed the defense line composed of abandoned vehicles and rushed directly into the believers.
Before a believer could realize what was happening, he saw a flash of silver light in front of his eyes...
No, it should be said that the entire body seemed to be divided into two by some kind of sharp blade.
Then, the two bodies were wrapped in blue flames and quickly burned to ashes, leaving only a few pieces of bone residue.
This cultist was killed by the "Nemesis" power halberd.
The high-energy stance wrapped around the halberd blade cuts the believer in two extremely "smoothly".
The stance is filled with the psychic energy of the Gray Knights, and the believers' bodies, as well as their demon-corrupted souls, will be burned to ashes by the power halberd.
The appearance of the Gray Knights directly reversed the fate of the soldiers who were forced to become corrupted, and eradicated the chaos gathered on this main road with an attack speed that could not be captured by the human eye.
The one who rushed to the front was actually Artemis, who was the thinnest. Even though she was wearing exclusive power armor, she was only less than 1.9 meters tall.
"嘡嘡嘡!"
The small-caliber bolter in her hand "purified" the depraved guys one after another.
"Click!"
The magazine was empty, and she rushed in front of the bull-headed demon.
"..."
Looking at Artemis who was slowly changing the magazine, the Minotaur actually showed an expression of extreme surprise.
Artemis is human?
Or is it its other-dimensional counterpart?
What are the Gray Knights who slaughter its playthings (believers)?
The Minotaur didn't understand, and it didn't bother to figure it out. He immediately swung a ton-heavy bone hammer, slammed it at Artemis, and yelled:
"Go to hell!"
"Ka-ba-!"
However, the Minotaur's expected scene of smashing Artemis into a pulp with a hammer did not happen. Instead, an energy barrier emitting a pale yellow light shattered its bone hammer into pieces.
"How is this possible?!" the bull-headed demon said with a horrified look on his face.
"How is it impossible?"
As Artemis spoke, she attached the bolter with the magazine to the outer armor of her right thigh. She took off the "transparent tank" hanging from her waist with her left hand. She made a fist with her right hand and moved it forward without seeming to exert much force.
wave...
"Boom——!"
I saw the thin Artemis knocking the five-meter-tall Minotaur to the ground with one punch.
"puff!!"
Black, sticky blood spurted out from the cow's mouth.
Artemis walked slowly to the side of the cow's head, pulled the tab of the "transparent can", released the safety, and threw it into the mouth of the cow that was spitting blood.
"Boom...~!" There was a muffled sound.
The low-intensity explosion that occurred within the body caused the Minotaur to struggle in agony without making a sound.
"Bah...bah..."
Along with the strong corroding sound, the blood, flesh and bones of the minotaur demon quickly turned into a puddle of clear water.
Looking at the water flowing to her feet, Artemis grasped the bolter again, shrugged, and said with a self-deprecating tone:
"Zombie, I forgot to tell you, I am a goddess. Although I am a goddess who needs to go to work, I am not someone like you who can compete with me."
After saying that, the Gray Knights who had eliminated all the believers also gathered around her.
"Continue to sweep away the demons in the next metropolitan area." Artemis said.
"Yes." The Gray Knights responded in unison.
The "transparent jar" just now was filled with the water of the full moon, so it could be purified very quickly.
The bull-headed demon expelled back to another space will continue to feel the burning pain for at least hundreds of years, and will no longer be able to cholera the real universe in a short period of time.
As for the reason why he was knocked down with one punch, it was also very simple.
Just as Artemis said, she is a god. Even though her divine power was robbed by Sui Bian, her physique is far superior to that of ordinary people, even Astartes.
Even if her power armor is removed, her skin alone can resist standard bolt attacks.
Only energy weapons or psychic attacks can cause damage to her. Her combat power is second only to Sui Bian and the ten original bodies in Umbrella.
Otherwise, she would not be able to be the chief instructor of the Gray Knights just by making the Water of the Full Moon.
And at this time.
The soldiers standing on the side of the scrapped vehicle all had their eyes wide open and their mouths open, looking in disbelief at Artemis and the others who were already far away.
After slowing down, a soldier sighed: "Those...are the Astartes?"
"It's much more powerful than expected. It looks like a humanoid tank."
"I always feel like they can blow up a tank?"
Two soldiers echoed.
"Guys..." The soldier who fired the anti-tank missile knocked his helmet hard, spread his hands, and said in extreme confusion:
"Didn't you hear? That woman said she is a god! She is a god!"
"Everyone, please calm down. There are already demons. Is it still a strange thing to see a god?"
The second lieutenant who regained his composure said it didn't matter, turned around with the pistol in hand, and said to his subordinates:
"Since we can see the Astartes alive, it means that the first batch of support has arrived. It won't be long before the main fleet of the UNSC and Umbrella will arrive in Arcadia.
So our mission is to continue to protect civilians and deal with the remnants raging in District 11. Don’t forget... God is on our side.”
"Yes! Second Lieutenant!" the soldiers responded loudly and energetically.
Next.
Overlooking the entire metropolitan area, one can see the gray knights whose armor reflects silver light, turning into silver afterimages, physically purifying all chaos.
The veterans who noticed the change in the situation, as well as the uncorrupted UNSC and police officers, also had extremely high morale.
As for the remaining Krieg, there is no such thing as morale, and they still deal with demons and traitors in an orderly manner.
Wait until the location of the metropolitan area changes from dawn to noon...
Outside the atmosphere.
Nearly forty whirlpool-shaped jump exits of different sizes, emitting blue light, suddenly appeared in low-Earth orbit above the northern hemisphere of Arcadia, allowing the UNSC's 3rd Fleet to sail into the fault space.
I saw 1 Phoenix-class flagship, 2 Valiant-class super-heavy cruisers, 8 Marathon-class ships, 24 Goshawk-class ships and 2 large supply ships sailing out of the jump exit.
This is the size of a UNSC main fleet, enough to conduct a planet-level or even star system-level battle.
After sailing out of the fault space, the fleet began to disperse, heading to the metropolitan area and the main cities of Arcadia.
And inside the corridor of the Phoenix-class flagship.
Sui Bian, who had changed into his exclusive nanosuit, walked with the two artificial intelligences and his two original sons to the large equipment room at the end of the passage.
The Red Queen reported to him: "Sir, the Third and Sixth Legions are ready and will coordinate with the UNSC 3rd Fleet to carry out the aftermath."
"Sir." Queen Bai also said at the right time: "The engineering ship that the doctor (the plague doctor) is on is expected to arrive in Arcadia in three hours."
"Um."
Sui Bian nodded lightly and entered the equipment room.
There is no convenient platform for putting on power armor, but there are a large number of mechanical arms on the roof to assist UNSC soldiers in putting on mechanical skeletons and individual equipment.
In the area closest to the hatch, there is a group of technicians belonging to Umbrella.
Seeing Sui Bian approaching, the technicians began to prepare, allowing the robotic arm to hang up the power armor components placed in the large equipment box.
Sui Bian walked to the center of the area, and technicians helped him put on his exclusive power armor.
Soon, Sui Bian put on the power armor, which was mainly black, with golden yellow embellishments on the edges and gaps in the armor.
"Black Gold Armor".
This set of armor made by Hephaestus can help Sui Bian better control his spiritual energy, and can also quickly relieve the fatigue caused by consuming spiritual energy.
Of course, power armor can also help Sui Bian improve his strength and quick reactions.
It's just that this kind of improvement is extremely subtle for him now.
