Artemis quickly rushed into the group of Jiralhanae beasts.
The scimitar in his right hand harvests fallen creatures.
Although the armor worn by some Jiralhanae has a shield, it cannot withstand the scimitar slashes filled with psychic energy, and the force of Artemis's swing is enough to "smoothly" cut the Jiralhanae's body, which is far more efficient than possessing
Stand energy weapons.
at this time.
Artemis stretched out her left foot and tripped a Jiralhanae, turned around, stepped on the Jiralhanae's breastplate with her right foot, and applied force downwards...
"puff!"
The fishy, corrupted blood spurted out, and the Jiralhanae's upper body collapsed directly, and it died instantly.
And all this is just a gap that can't be blinked...
A hunting god and five gray knights quickly eliminated all the Jiralhanae beasts under the low hill.
Make sure nothing else survives.
The group of people reunited and walked to the top of the low hill. They moved forward steadily and gradually approached the interior of the metal temple.
Enter the temple.
Come to the hall.
Artemis and the others discovered the source of the blue light emitting outwards, which was a slowly expanding vortex entrance, like a vortex created by a jump engine.
Or a portal.
This whirlpool-like portal is temporarily closed, but it has begun to cause airflow fluctuations inside the hall.
In front of the portal is a scrawny Jiralhanae with sunken eye sockets, and its eyes are occupied by blue light.
The moment it saw Artemis and the others entering the temple hall, it spontaneously combusted uncontrollably, as if it had completed the last step of the ritual, using itself as a key to completely unlock the portal.
Wait until the Jiralhanae turns to ashes.
"Hoo~----!" The strong wind blew up and the vortex intensified.
Artemis' white-colored ponytail also swayed with the violent air currents. She didn't bother to care about her hairstyle. She immediately shared everything that happened in front of her to remind the Spartans and Gray Knights.
Just finished sharing.
The communication sent a reply from a crew member of the Full Moon: "Sir! Teleport gates of the same size have been found in the rainforest of Pulton, and there are twelve in total so far!"
"Understood." Artemis made a judgment and said: "Inform the knights to rush to the portal to help the friendly forces deal with the incoming wave of demons."
"Copy that," the crew member responded.
End the conversation.
The air flow gradually stopped, and the vortex of the portal also stopped expanding, and its diameter finally remained at about twenty-five meters.
The dim light dissipated and was no longer hazy.
I saw a blue sky at the other end of the portal, and the surrounding environment seemed to be on the top of a certain mountain peak, with many buildings and a large and magnificent palace.
And in the square in front of the palace, there are twelve conspicuous statues.
Witnessing the various scenes on the other side of the door, the five Gray Knights felt strange, but to Artemis, they were very familiar, even... kind.
Because it is almost the same as the Temple of Olympus.
The twelve statues are the god king Zeus holding the magic weapon "Thunder", the god queen Hera waving the "scepter", Poseidon holding high the "trident", Hades wearing the "Pluto Armor"...
He is the twelve main gods of Olympus, including the once-famous God of Hunting who performed the action of drawing a bow.
Of course, Artemis' various memories and emotions are fleeting, and now she is focusing on the seemingly endless "demonic army".
"Ho~----!"
The roar of the beast echoed throughout the temple hall, breaking the brief silence.
More than a dozen "owls" took the lead in pouring out of the portal.
These "owls" have a wingspan of five meters, progressive blue, purple and pink wings, asymmetrical and irregular multiple eyes, and serrated claws.
Immediately behind, there is a tide of ground beasts covered with gradient-colored scales, resembling wolves and tigers.
"Get rid of these bastards!"
Artemis roared and sprinted quickly, holding the moonlight scimitar tightly in her right hand, taking out a grenade from the back of her waist with her left hand, clasping the ring with her index finger, flipping the safety with her thumb, and throwing it forward without using much force.
"Howl!"
Without knowing what it was thinking, a wolf-tiger beast suddenly jumped up, opened its mouth dripping with mucus, and without fail, swallowed the grenade in mid-air.
Later.
"Boom~!"
The explosion shattered the wolf-tiger beast, which was thinking more like a dog than a dog, into several pieces from the inside out. At the same time, a thick fog generated by the water of the full moon was sprayed nearby.
in a blink.
This full moon grenade, specially used by the Gray Knights, successfully created a vacuum zone in the beast tide, corroding all the "native creatures" of the alien space, the wolf and tiger beasts. It had an immediate effect and was much more efficient than dealing with the Jiralhanae beasts in the real universe.
.
It was obvious that the wolf-tiger beast that swallowed the grenade in its belly wanted to use itself to reduce the damage range of the grenade.
Its behavior does play some role, otherwise the grenade exploding in an open area will only "purify" more of its kind.
at the same time as the grenade exploded.
Artemis had already "swung upstream", repeatedly waving, chopping and other actions with her right hand. She stretched her left hand forward to catch the wolf and tiger beast that was rushing towards her, twisted its neck hard, and then flicked it casually.
After freeing her left hand, she twisted her waist, took off the bolter attached to the outer armor of her right leg, and continued to harvest the demons pouring out of the alien space.
The same goes for the five Gray Knights.
"嘡嘡嘡!"
The unique melodious gunshot sound of the Bakuya series represents the non-stop "performance" of the demon's body being cracked, exploded and corroded.
"Ouch...! Roar...!"
With the wail resounding throughout the temple hall, Artemis and the five Gray Knights acted like a flood control dam, resisting the demonic torrent.
"Boom~!"
At this moment, three spatial distortions visible to the naked eye appeared at the entrance of the temple.
Immediately afterwards, at the moment when the distortion ended, three more Gray Knights teleported here and joined the battle to "purify" the demons.
The Holy Shield Terminators currently equipped by the Gray Knights, as well as the Honor Guards of each legion, have successively completed a "major update" and have short-distance teleportation devices.
14 years ago.
The research is nominally led by Sui Bian, but in fact it is the individual equipment of the Hyperspace Corps exchanged by Sui Bian. After the company's researchers simplified the project, the transmission device can be incorporated under the Terminator's power backpack.
Now.
The three Gray Knights arrived here, and not long after, they ushered in three more Spartan teams that were originally conducting sweeps nearby.
A total of eighteen Spartans equipped with Mjolnir Mark V (Mark-V) ran through the passage, rushed to the underground space and arrived at the temple hall, using absolute firepower output to suppress the wave of demons.
In addition to the .75cal caliber standard bolt rifle, one of the heavy-armed teams is also equipped with a 1.0cal caliber bolt machine gun and a handheld plasma cannon.
Furthermore, the leader of the heavy armored team has an olive branch engraved on his helmet and a plasma shoulder cannon on his right shoulder.
After joining the battle.
The volley fired regardless of the remaining ammunition immediately weakened the demon's offensive, especially the "sparks" exploded by the plasma cannon, which continued to burn the metal temple.
The two sides fought fiercely, and finally stopped temporarily due to the metal wail of "Ka...~" and the collapse of the building with "Boom".
No matter how large the temple was, it could not withstand the "torture" of a hunting god and twenty-six giants, and it collapsed suddenly.
Large metal plates were scattered downwards, and the supporting metal pillars on both sides tilted left and right.
"Buzz~!"
Artemis and the others' power armor generates energy shields to help resist loads of several tons or tens of tons.
"Puff! Puff!"
On the contrary, the beast-like demons were smashed into pulp one after another by heavy objects, with stinking blood splattering everywhere, and then gradually turned into "black water", and were forced to be expelled back to another space.
The collapse stopped.
Artemis and the others reorganized themselves, stepped on the ruins in a semicircular formation, and kept a certain distance from the continuously opening portal.
At the same time, under the cover of several Spartans and Gray Knights, Artemis and everyone completed reloading one after another.
And the wave of demons paused.
However, instead of those beast-like demons that are not even low-level demons, there are "God's Servant Soldiers" who work together in an orderly manner and hold their shields high.
These "servants of the gods" with an average height of more than three meters still wore ancient Greek armor, holding various cold weapons and giant shields full of psychic energy, and walked out of the portal in a heavy infantry queue.
But their faces and bodies have long been distorted and deformed by the alien space corrosion. Their skin is covered with gradient scales, and "auxiliary mouths" of different sizes have grown on their cheeks and necks.
Where is the heroic figure who defended the Olympus Temple thousands of years ago, resolutely followed Zeus into another space in order to kill the demons?
The servants of the fallen gods are not as vulnerable as beasts and demons. They use physical shields and psychic barriers to withstand bolters and plasma cannons. They approach Artemis and the others with only a small amount of losses, preparing for a hand-to-hand exchange.
.
See this.
A Spartan squad leader with a relatively hot temper immediately attached his bolter to his thigh armor, took off the "normal size" chain sword hanging from his waist, activated it, let the chain rotate at high speed, and then rushed straight into the enemy line.
, and shouted loudly:
"Brothers! For my father! For mankind! Save these guys who can't stick to their true hearts and become the playthings of evil gods!"
"For father!"
"For humanity!"
The Spartans all roared in unison, drew out their chainswords, and followed the captain to engage in close combat with the servants of the fallen gods.
At the same time, the Gray Knights also shouted "Death! Demons!" and "Try Soul Burning!" to engage in close combat.
In the melee.
A man wearing a purple-blue cloak, who seemed to be a high-level fallen servant of the gods, swung his spear and stabbed a gray knight in the back at a speed that ordinary people could not see clearly.
But the sound of "swish!"
The other brother, who was responsible for covering the brother behind him, used the Nemesis Power Halberd to kill the fallen servant of the god in half.
"ah!"
The fallen servant of the god screamed, and his body burned rapidly. He struggled desperately to put out the fire, but in the blink of an eye, he was burned to ashes.
After all, the wrapped halberd blade's stance is still filled with the psychic energy of the Gray Knight.
The beginning of the close combat.
Although the Servants of the Fallen Gods had an absolute numerical advantage and were half a meter taller than the Spartans equipped with Mjolnir V, there was no one-sided situation.
They are transcendent from mortals, and have the blessings and blessings of the evil god, but their individuals are still unable to completely suppress the Spartans or Gray Knights, not to mention the increased power and reaction of Mjolnir and Holy Shield.
The battle is stalemate.
The number of Servants of the Fallen God is approaching infinity. The Spartans and Gray Knights are working hard to maintain the situation. There are no casualties for the time being, but support is still on the way and it will take some time to arrive.
However, Artemis, who was protected by two Gray Knights, didn't like stalemates very much.
She retracted her bolter and moon scimitar, and took off her full moon bow.
Hold the bow in your left hand and pull the bow string with your right hand. At the moment when the whole bow looks like a full moon, the pure spiritual energy contained in the bow will "out of thin air" generate a radiant spiritual arrow.
Aim forward.
Release your right hand.
"Wha~---!"
The arrow was like a wild horse running wild, leaving an afterimage and shooting straight towards the other end of the portal.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
All the fallen servants of the gods along the way, even if they are not shot directly or blocked in the path of the arrow, will be burned to ashes and cannot even scream.
In an instant.
The psychic arrow had successfully shot into the portal and landed on the statue of Pallas in the center of the square, and then...
Ri~
"Boom----boom----!"
Although this bow was named "Full Moon" according to Artemis's preference, in fact, the explosion created a dazzling "ball of light" like the sun.
The "light ball" expanded rapidly and quickly swallowed up the square at the other end of the portal, as well as the army of fallen servants of gods gathered in the square. Even the buildings and palaces were tragically affected.
this time.
The fallen servants of God in the underground space will spontaneously ignite as long as they are illuminated by light...
It is spontaneous combustion at the level of body and soul.
Immediately afterwards, shock waves surged out of the portal and struck in all directions, causing Mjolnir and the energy shield of the Holy Shield to rise again.
Artemis narrowed her eyes slightly, looked directly at the "ball of light", and while hanging the full moon bow back on her waist, she couldn't help but sigh:
"Has his divine power...psionic power...actually reached such an exaggerated level?"
Fortunately, her body could withstand the backlash of the Full Moon Bow. If an ordinary person had pulled the bowstring, the result would have been reduced to ashes.
———————
…
While Artemis destroyed the palace.
Four thousand kilometers away from Budapest, in the rainforest in the late night time zone, there is another underground space with a portal.
The fierce battle in this underground space also came to a brief pause because the psychic arrow burst out with light like the sun.
The fallen servants of the god suffered heavy casualties, but at least half of them were preserved.
Because Pallas was here, he released a large amount of spiritual energy in time to form a barrier to block the portal.
And here, there is the Spartan Primarch, John, whom it admires very much and wants to recruit personally, and the hundreds of Spartans and Warrior Guards who fight with the Primarch.
According to Pallas's original plan, he was going to take advantage of "that man" and the other original body to arrive at Pulton, try to physically defeat John, and then use physical contact to implement corruption.
After it has some free time, it will deal with its sister who has lost her powers and has "problems" in her mind.
But he didn't expect that his sister would possess the Full Moon Bow, and he didn't expect that the Full Moon Bow would directly take it to its "godly domain" in a different space, or in other words, its "home".
