"Damn, the enemies are getting more numerous, as if they can never be all killed..."
"The True God protects us like this; it must consume a lot of divine power... He has sacrificed too much for us!"
"Praise the True God, let us pray together, hoping to increase some power of faith for the True God!"
Hearing this, the elves all knelt down, clasped their hands, and began to pray silently.
In reality, their doing so... was of no use.
Zhang Chen, in the sky, was rapidly depleting his energy.
"Just how many Faceless Ones have these guys stockpiled? They seem endless!"
"For them to dare unleash so many Faceless Ones to attack, they must be very confident."
"But if this continues, given my current physical condition, I won't be able to hold on for much longer."
"It wouldn't be fun if I reverted to my spiritual form again. I must find a way to finish this quickly!"
Zhang Chen simultaneously fired energy beams from both hands, annihilating the Faceless Ones flanking him.
What remained were only the Faceless Ones charging from the front.
At this moment, a surge of energy flowed into Zhang Chen's body. Subsequently, Miaoke transmitted the message into Zhang Chen's mind through the consciousness link of the Underworld Mushroom:
"Master, I've dealt with one. Just as you said, there's a magic array behind the enemy lines, and the priest at the center of the array was holding a pink crystal!"
"As soon as I got my hands on the crystal, it suddenly vanished. Master, did you absorb the energy?"
Zhang Chen nodded, replying silently:
"I absorbed it. Well done!"
"Thank you for the praise, Master! I will continue to work hard!" Miaoke replied excitedly.
*Bang!*
Zhang Chen leaped from the sky directly to the ground, creating a large crater.
Now that he had fresh energy, it was time to deliver the final blow.
"True God, let us retreat. If we go to the pass, we can defend it together. They won't be able to charge through so easily!"
The elven general knelt behind Zhang Chen, softly pleading.
Although Zhang Chen's combat power displayed just now far exceeded her imagination, perhaps few in the entire world could be his match.
However...
After all, they were facing an endless army of Faceless Ones. Even if the True God's energy was immense, he might be worn down to death.
The elves had finally found a deity to rely on, and they absolutely could not afford to see him perish for their sake.
He was the hope of the entire elven race!
"Your pass cannot withstand giant Faceless Ones ten meters tall, and these Faceless Ones grow by absorbing all life."
"Haven't you noticed that there are no bodies of your sisters left on the battlefield?"
"All their flesh and blood have become part of the Faceless Ones."
"Once monsters like these break through the pass, there will be no living beings left in the entire elven kingdom."
Zhang Chen said calmly.
Believers want to protect their deity, and the deity wants to protect his believers. This is the current situation.
"But..."
The elven general attempted to persuade him further, but Zhang Chen waved his hand, interrupting her.
"Just listen to me. Although my strength hasn't recovered, I should be enough to deal with these guys!"
"If I expend too much energy, find my subordinate and send me back to the elven palace. They will protect me!"
Zhang Chen instructed.
He hadn't used this ability in a long time and wondered if there would be any adverse effects.
So, it was better to be prepared and give instructions in advance.
"True God... you sacrifice... far too much for us..."
The elven general was deeply moved.
*Rumble...*
At this moment, the Faceless Ones, like a tide, had already surged to within Zhang Chen's vicinity, only twenty to thirty meters away. They were a dense, dark mass, kicking up dust in their wake.
Zhang Chen smiled slightly and slowly raised his right hand, gently snapping his thumb and middle finger.
*Click!*
*Swish!*
An incomparable power was instantly unleashed.
The Faceless Ones at the forefront began to vaporize and evaporate instantly. Finally, this energy directly penetrated the front ranks of the Faceless Ones and rapidly spread backward.
*Whoosh...*
The battlefield was instantly filled with dense white mist.
Tens of thousands of Faceless Ones were reduced to ashes and vanished with that snap of fingers...
"This... this is real! The legend is true!"
The elven general exclaimed excitedly, simultaneously pulling out a small notebook from her waist pouch.
This was a notebook recording the deeds of the True God, containing descriptions of him, including a passage:
"The True God can exterminate all evil in the world with just a snap of his fingers..."
It was indeed true, and this was exactly what she was witnessing!
When she had studied this part of history, she, like many other elves, had thought it was merely an exaggerated myth.
Where could such a god be? They were all just ancient powerhouses!
No matter how strong a powerhouse was, could they eliminate enemies with a snap of their fingers? How was that possible?!
Now, witnessing this scene on the battlefield, she was so shocked that her lips trembled, unable to articulate whether it was excitement, elation, or fear stemming from the suppression of such terrifying power.
"It seems what we learned in history class wasn't fake, but real! All of this is true!"
"The True God is real, the origin of the elves is real, and all the legends of the ancient gods are also true!"
The elven general cried out in excitement, as if she had rediscovered her faith.
"Damn, the energy consumption is a bit much..."
Zhang Chen smiled faintly and then slowly began to fall backward...
Meanwhile...
The Underworld Mushroom had been trapped in the royal city for many days.
During these days, Zhang Chen's energy had not increased, and he was moving further and further away from it, making its progress arduous. It couldn't even take a single step out of the city gate.
However... suddenly, a powerful surge of energy flowed into it.
Then, it sensed Zhang Chen slowly moving towards its direction (in reality, towards the elven capital). Its range of movement instantly expanded significantly!
"Master, you're finally not being so stubborn. My mission can finally be completed!"
"Sigh, it's been so difficult for me. What I thought would take a few hours has been dragged on for so long!"
"But it doesn't matter, I'll give the enemy a surprise!"
The Underworld Mushroom stood up, and immediately, the fifty elites behind it also stood up in unison, their armor clashing with a synchronized sound.
"Let's go. The empire's final spark, it's time to extinguish it!"
