Chapter 108: On the Verge of Perdition
Witnessing the Maven's death made Sobek grieved.
However, he was also in a precarious situation at this time.
Without Spencer to share the pressure with him, he was already unable to protect himself in the face of a group of fierce star fighters and the "Axe King" with his hands free.
Just as he was about to follow in the footsteps of the Maven, a flash of starlight suddenly appeared nearby without warning, directly smashing a large hole around.
"It's not good, it's a star god!"
Seeing this, the "Axe King" immediately understood, it must have been the Star God who had also noticed the internal strife in the Star Empire, and they who had been at a disadvantage on the battlefield wanted to take the opportunity to fight back.
For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted by the sudden arrival of the star god.
When "Axe" retracted his gaze, he found that Sobek had taken advantage of the chaos to escape.
"These fools in heaven are really good things that only spoil me.
Fortunately, it was only a small character who escaped, and without the Maven who could wield the Spear of the Hunter, everything was a foregone conclusion. ”
…………
Sobek took advantage of the chaos to escape, recalling the ruthless "Axe King", and he felt more and more that the other party was a fake.
However, he was alone in his power to stop the impostor.
Feeling powerless, he slammed his fist to the ground as if venting.
Unfortunately, this did not change anything, and as time went on, he found that the situation at home was getting worse and worse.
Originally, with the intervention of the Maven, the bizarre deaths of the people in the country have been contained, but now they have started again.
Looking at the people of the empire who were constantly dying, Sobek was heartbroken.
"Sobek, you have to cheer up, even if you can't bring down the puppet king, you can save a part of the people, they need you."
After some psychological construction, he temporarily let go of the bitterness and despair in his heart and began to secretly save the surviving people of the empire.
However, time was running out for him.
…………
On a full moon night, the "Axe" stood on a high platform and inspected the neatly arranged soldiers below, and before his eyes had gathered all sixteen legions, totaling more than 20,000 Star Fighters.
"Hehe, such an army that is enough to rival the gods, how can I bear to give up on them.
It was in order to get them that I came up with this time-consuming and laborious ascension plan. ”
Thinking of this, he said in a loud voice to everyone:
"Soldiers, I will lead you to a new realm, where you will have an endless lifespan and a power comparable to that of God, and the empire will reach new glory in our hands."
The impassioned speech of "Axe King" made everyone's blood boil.
How could they not believe it, after all, it was the Axe King who made them Star Fighters and qualified to fight against the Star God.
Seeing that the time was right, "Axe" continued:
"Now, open your minds and open your minds and bodies to the moon, and we can still feel His greatness even in the darkness of the earth."
Under his guidance, a group of star fighters closed their eyes, and wisps of spiritual energy floated out, flying upwards along with the fluctuations of the moon's tides.
Seeing this, the "Axe King" had a weird smile on his face.
I saw that his shadow suddenly appeared on the ground, like a person walking in the moonlight, and his shadow was constantly stretched and distorted.
In a short time, the shadows converged into one entity, and the Tomb King, who had been manipulating all this, took shape.
He looked at the Star Fighter whose spiritual energy was constantly being stripped away, and nodded with satisfaction.
"As weapons of war, thoughts can only hinder you, and it is better to combine emotions and mental power as the blood food of the true gods.
Next, the abyss will reign over your shells, and you, along with your king, will fight for me forever. ”
Speaking of pleasure, the Tomb King glanced at Neville, who was standing aside.
"Well, I'm a very trustworthy person, and the longevity and power you hope for are the same.
Even, the only clause of revenge against the twin star gods, I plan to cancel it for the time being.
It's hard to find a collaborator like me, hahaha......"
…………
Inside an ant nest, Sobek is leading a group of ants to move the populace outward.
"Quick, let's speed up the transfer a little faster."
Hearing his urging, a young man of the ant clan said with some dissatisfaction:
"Uncle Sobek, why are you in such a hurry, the legion has been evacuated, we have time."
Sobek knew of course that the legions stationed in the area had been withdrawn, but because of this, the sense of urgency in his heart was stronger.
He didn't know what the puppet king was going to do when he transferred the legion away, but he was sure that nothing good would happen.
Take advantage of the worse situation to come, and now you can move as soon as possible.
However, he had no intention of explaining at this time, and replied directly and rudely:
"Less nonsense, let you move quickly, give me a hurry, don't rap me."
He glanced at the young man who was a little unconvinced, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"Compared to the disciplined legions, it is really difficult to bring such a temporary team."
He ignored the prickly young man, turned to the others and asked:
"Have you found the queen ant who was imprisoned here?"
"Well, I found it.
It's just that she didn't want to go, saying that she wanted to be with the other people of the dynasty. ”
Hearing this answer, Sobek patted his head and wanted to scold his mother.
The most critical thing in this operation is to pick up the ant queen and leave, without the queen ant, not only will the empire have no future, but also the ant clan may be doomed.
"Where's the queen, let me go find her myself."
"Uh, it should be at the back of the evacuation line, it should be~"
Sobek, who was completely disappointed in the ability of his subordinates, left the back of the team directly, ready to personally lead the queen ant.
Thankfully, when he rushed back to the rear, the queen ant didn't take advantage of the chaos to flee, and she should indeed be the people of the dynasty who wanted to wait for her.
However, Sobek didn't care so much, he stepped forward and picked up the queen ant and prepared to take her away.
"Let me go, you guy is so rude."
Hearing the screams of the queen ants, the other ant tribes around wanted to step forward to stop them, but in the face of Sobek, who was a star fighter, they were powerless to resist.
"I'm not going to hurt you, it's too dangerous here, we have to move as soon as possible.
When you reach a safe place, you can be reunited with your people. ”
I don't know if I agree with his words, or if I know that I can't resist, and the queen ant doesn't struggle anymore.
Sensing that the queen ant had settled down, Sobek said no more, and left the place with the man on his shoulders.
Just as he returned to the front of the transfer team with the queen, a burst of screams suddenly came.
I saw that a team of star fighters suddenly appeared here, and they began to slaughter the people without saying anything.
And the person who took the lead was the commander of the Second Legion.
At this time, his eyes were empty, and he kept mechanically waving his weapons to harvest the lives around him, as if he was not the people he was guarding, but just a pile of weeds......
