Chapter 398: A Trickier Opponent
The Avengers were not the only ones who were intercepted, the other three sides also suffered similar situations.
On the Overwatch team's side, although the progress is not as fast as the Avengers' side, the average strength level is strong, and they basically have extremely rich battlefield experience, so they cooperate tacitly and fight steadily.
In front are Claude Sheffield and John Price with a sledgehammer wearing heavy power armor and holding a broadsword, flanked by Shimada Genji and Laura as support, and in the center is Alice Clone as a sniper) and Morales as the team medic and Kama Taj Mage sent to their side to assist, and Rumlow is in charge of the break, of course, at the front of the team, there is actually a blue flaming skeleton acting as an arrow, Ghost Knight Johnny Blazer.
If it was an early Ghost Rider, it was natural that he could only transform by playing, but Johnny had already mastered the power of Ghost Rider and was not limited by day and night at all.
And the Evil Ghost Knight is a demon-like existence, and the advance speed of the group of nine people with him as the arrow is the second fastest among the four directions, and the reason why it is slower than the Avengers is only because half of the Avengers can fly, and there is also a tenth-level boss to take care of.
Of course, there is actually a level 10 on the watcher's side, that is, the level 10 Nova, but according to Chris's instructions, unless Laura is in distress, Nova doesn't have to make a move if she can...... How can you say that Laura is also Chris's rightful wife, can't let her have something, right?
But what Chris didn't expect was that this matter was far from being as simple as he thought, and Nova was also intercepted by a level 10 powerhouse.
Originally, according to Nova's strength, if she has been hiding in the shadows, even if the other party has the existence of a tenth-level powerhouse, it is not so easy to find her existence, Captain Marvel was intercepted because she appeared directly on the frontal battlefield, and people don't need to look for it at all, and Nova is a ghost agent, what she is best at is stealth combat, as long as she wants, if the other party's strength is not higher than her, it is very difficult to discover her existence.
It's just that, whether it's in the previous life, or this quilt, Nova as a human being, is still coming to the earth for the first time, so it's more or less curious and excited, after all, whether it's the interstellar world or this world, the origin of human beings is the earth, if you don't know, it's okay to say, but since you know, then there will naturally be countless people who will have a kind of curiosity and attachment to the mother planet of the earth.
This feeling may be diminished by various influences such as individual, region, time, and culture, but it is difficult to disappear. Just like the descendants of immigrants on the American continent, their ancestors have left the European continent for hundreds of years, but many people still have a yearning for Europe, which is obviously not only because of wealth, after all, to talk about wealth and prosperity, the United States is much richer and more prosperous than most parts of Europe, but the Europeans among the Americans will still yearn for Europe, for example, the British will be proud of an authentic London accent, and the French will be proud of being able to cook exquisite French cuisine...... This is not the case for Europeans, not to mention the more traditionally Asian-minded peoples.
It's just that in the interstellar world, the Koplu Star Region has always been in a hostile relationship with the Earth UED Federation, whether it was during the first UED Expeditionary Force or after the final battle, the conflict between the Tyranid humans and the Earth humans has not really stopped, but because of the distance between the two sides, and the two "hidden" allies of the Tyranid humans and the Zerg, the two parties have been in a state of confrontation.
In this case, even if the Tyranid people are curious about their home planet, it will be difficult to go to the earth to have a look.
And now that Nova has such an opportunity to come to Earth, this feeling is somewhat indescribable...... Even if the two earths are not the same, and the earth is backward now.
If it was an early Nova, it would not have been possible to feel this way, but Chris knew after talking to Nova that this Nova was the final version of Nova...... That is, the last Nova, who experienced the "stealth operation".
In the interstellar world, although Nova in the early days had almost evolved into a ruthless killing machine after brainwashing and the iron-blooded training of the Tyranid Empire because of her own misfortunes, many forces had forcibly brainwashed her, and brainwashing was a good thing once or twice, but it would be problematic if it was washed too much.
After many times of brainwashing, Nova's resistance to brainwashing has been greatly strengthened...... This is also the reason why in the "Covert Operation", the brainwashed Nova will suddenly recover her memories before she was arrested and escape from the Guardian Organization base, but it is precisely because she has been cleaned many times that many of her memories are more difficult to recover, which is why she needs the stimulation of things like Creator's Breath to gradually recover her memories in the later stage.
But on the other hand, this also led to the gradual recovery of Nova's initial personality...... That is, it is starting to become human.
It is also this kind of Nova, because the mission is a little idle, coupled with Chris's wrong information, so it seems a little relaxed along the way, not only will she start to clean up some targets that may be a little troublesome for the Overwatch from time to time, but also look at the scenery, catch a jaguar that survived the fire here and ride it, and save a wild guinea pig that has been roasted and half haired there...... Uh, you ask, how to save it? Nova said that this cute thing is very fragrant, no wonder the locals love to eat it, and the grilled guinea pig is a famous Peruvian dish.
In this case, Nova naturally can't maintain perfect concealment, of course, those ordinary demons with low strength, even the great demon Satanis still can't find her trace, but for opponents of the same level, it is like a light in the night.
So just as Nova was in a corner thinking about whether to try a huge yellow-legged tortoise in front of her, a man in a neat uniform and holding a magnificent sword appeared in Nova's consciousness, which alerted her immediately.
"You'd better not eat it, it's very rare to be able to grow to a yellow-legged tortoise that is nearly a meter long, at least 78 years, it's a pity to eat it, and the flesh of this animal is rough, it's not delicious!" In the face of Nova's vigilance, the other party said politely.
"Who are you?" Nova, who has experienced a hundred battles, obviously will not easily relax her vigilance because of the other party's politeness.
"Contemptible Credo, head of the Order of the Holy Trinity Church, it is an honor to meet the honorable lady!" The visitor politely revealed his identity and saluted Nova.
As soon as Nova heard this, she immediately realized that something was wrong, although she was summoned for a short time, but she also knew the whole thing from Chris, but the appearance of the person in front of her made her immediately understand that this matter was far from as simple as it seemed, she immediately wanted to contact Chris, but found that the hyperspace communicator on her body could not contact the outside world at all.
"Don't bother, the space around us has been completely blocked by my energy field, no matter how advanced your communicator is, it is impossible to use it under the influence of the energy field!" Credo smiled, "But it's easy to break it, just defeat me!" ”
"Tsk, it's really troublesome, I thought it was a simple task, but did you use a sword? It just so happens that in addition to using guns, I also like to play with swords, so let's compare whose sword is sharper! Nova tilted her head, glanced at the unsheathed sword in Credo's left hand, and instead of taking the rifle behind her back, she took out a hilt-like object from the tactical belt around her waist and held it in her hand...... With a thud, a dark blue lightsaber appeared in her hand.
"Huh? What a strange weapon, interesting. I have to say that although your human lifespan is short, you can always surprise me, and I am really jealous of your talent, but unfortunately, your lifespan is destined to become the most insignificant drop of river water in the vast history" Seeing the lightsaber in Nova's hand, Credo's originally graceful face showed a sneer, and then his right hand also held the hilt of the sword.
And at the same time that Nova was intercepted by Credo, on the side of Overwatch, Johnny Blazer, who originally acted as an arrow and killed demons, was suddenly flapped out by a figure falling from the sky and flew far away, and fell straight in front of the rear Overwatch squad line.
The Overwatch members looked ahead, only to see the assailant...... It was a monster with a pair of bat wings and a terrifying appearance, and then under their vigilant gaze, the monster retracted its bat wings, and its appearance began to change, and finally turned into a middle-aged man who looked heroic.
After he took on human form, several figures appeared behind him...... There are four people, including Victor, the elder of the Blood Clan, who holds the sword, Amelia, the elder of the Blood, who holds the whip, and Serena, who also holds the sword...... All of them are bloodborne.
Although there are only four people on the other side, Laura and many members of Overwatch dare not be careless, since the other party dares to block his line so blatantly, it means that the other party is quite sure.
However, in fact, it is true that among these four blood clans, except for Serena, who is level seven, the rest are all level eight, and the blood clan that takes the lead is also the ancestor of their blood clan, Marcus Kovinas, and his strength is infinitely close to level nine after the sacrifice ceremony in Europe.
And what about Overwatch? In addition to Lara, who is level eight, the strongest is also level seven, but the Ghost Rider who has the ability to fight beyond the level, and then there are Rumlow and Alice Clones at level seven) and Genji...... Although under the equipment bonus, the three of them also have nearly eighth-level combat power and defense, but the seventh level is still seventh-level after all, which is still very different from the real eighth-level, and the average level of the rest of them is only five or sixth.
Therefore, the two sides will be strong and weak, and they will only know when they fight.
…………………………
The Avengers and the Warden have been intercepted by strong enemies, and the equally powerful Kama Taj is naturally no exception.
The reason why Kama Taj fell to third place in terms of advance speed was not because their side was weaker than the Avengers and Overwatch.
After all, because the mage profession is more special, this profession can often exert a lot of combat power that exceeds its own level when it is prepared, in Thor 3, a rookie supreme like Strange can stunned Thor, who is much stronger than his own hard power, and Loki, whose strength is not weaker than himself, not to mention the ancient one and the long-trained old mages she brought?
In addition, the mage profession has its own experience in dealing with demons from other worlds, so although the average strength is only four or five levels, with exquisite spells and skillful cooperation, it can exert no less than six or seven levels of combat power in the face of enemies like demons...... Therefore, the weakness of mages is only relatively weak, and once they lose the magical ability they rely on, their strength will quickly drop to a situation where two or three level soldiers can also bully.
A low-level mage is still like this, let alone the Ancient One who is a supreme being? Otherwise, who would she be able to block the invasion of the Dark Lord Dormammu and be feared by Thanos?
You must know that although they hold such a heavy treasure as the Time Gem, in fact, there are very few times when the Supreme Mages of the past generations have really used it, and every Supreme Mage understands what kind of sequelae the use of the Time Stone will cause, and in most cases, they do not need to use the Time Stone, their own talent and magic ability are enough to deal with most of the problems, and only the next generation of Strange, the rookie Supreme who catches ducks on the shelves, will use the Time Stone unscrupulously.
So if you really want to fight, you may not be able to beat an energy-type powerhouse like Nova and Captain Marvel, but all kinds of endless magic can play with the explosion of the mentality of these two people.
The reason why the advance speed is relatively slow is only because Gu Yi, as the boss, has never made a move at all, but has been commanding and taking care of the mages under him from the side, and directly regarded this battle as a combat practice class, after all, although the strength of these mages is average, but
But this combat practice class soon had to be forced to stop, because a group of extremely difficult opponents appeared in front of them.
The reason why it is said to be tricky is because these opponents are also good at playing with magic skills, and the person who takes the lead is the head of the technical department of the Holy Trinity Order, Agnus, who was now attentive in front of Sartanis, and behind him, there is also a group of extremely precious high-ranking priests who are good at magic and were originally inside the Holy Trinity...... It's just that unlike the mages of Kama Taj, these priests are good at black magic that is extremely evil in the eyes of Kama Taj mages.
And it was this group of people who presided over the sacrificial rites in Europe, as well as the summoning and sacrificial ceremonies in the city.
However, for the Ancient One, although the strength of Agnus and these mages is good, it is not enough to stop her! There was someone else who stopped her, and the other party was none other than the Pope, who had never appeared in the Holy Trinity.
In fact, the ancient one is still very familiar with this Pope.
