In fact, I didn't let all of my fallen gods attack the star weapons. Only half attacked, and the other remained in wait.
The moment the attention of these protective red beams moved to shield the high sky star weapons, I instantly gave the order for the other half of my fallen gods to attack.
And without any wait, their deadly attacks landed at that turtle zombie, bringing another wave of scary devastation along it.
The attack this time didn't cause the same destruction the first one did. Yet it was still scary. The world shook and the explosions came rumbling against the entire world, as if it was trying to devour it.
I watched the predicament I put the angels at. If they wanted to save their offensive star weapons, then they'd have to abandon that goliath zombie.
If they wanted to save the zombie, then things would be a little different.
I wanted to see their real intentions from this kind of attack. It was hard for me to see through lies and ascertain the truth. Without a hard to deal with situation like this, it would be impossible for me to know what the angels were truly thinking about.
If they decided to abandon their star weapons for the sake of this behemoth, then that meant this zombie held a much higher importance than the entirety of the star weapons.
I knew they paid a hefty price to bring such weapons here and keep activating them. At least tens of thousands of angels had to gather up here to deal with me.
So if they decided to abandon all this, that meant that the zombie's value was much more important than all the star weapons.
And if that was true, then this zombie would be truly scary.
Even if it was halved in its overall strength, its threat level wasn't related to its power, but to its value.
The angels would never strike a losing deal. And with the brilliant leader taking over all of them, I was sure they wouldn't make a wrong choice here.
Part of me prayed that they'd abandon this zombie. However when the red beams shone again over the zombie's body, lightening it all up with redness, my heart sank.
I looked up and saw thousands of the offensive stars getting destroyed. "It seems they have a deeper scheme than what appears on the surface," I muttered to myself in a dignified tone.
This… This was the worst case scenario. And the worst part of it was that I didn't know what they were truly after.
I had to act passive, wait until their preparations got completed and then try to react and adapt.
This wouldn't bode well. But what choice did I have here?
"Replenish and keep attacking," after the destruction of the star weapons high above, I didn't give up on them. Even if I couldn't see through their plans, I cared about this battle for now.
They made a decision, and I had to make sure they'd pay that price fully and without showing any mercy to them.
However I didn't let my fallen gods attack the star weapons fully. I still left half attacking the star weapons above, and the other half attacking the zombie.
It took me almost half an hour to get rid of all the offensive star weapons in the sky. Now the enemy was chipped off one of their mighty blades. And that made me feel a little better.
But when I looked back at the grand turtle zombie, I couldn't help but frown.
The turtle kept attacking with its all might during the past half an hour. More shocking explosions and attacks came one after another. However not a single one managed to slip inside my shields.
Part of this was thanks to my fallen gods' crazy attacks. They nullified many of the zombie's power and even crushed many rocks and water waves.
But keeping using them to deal with this zombie was costly and not effective. I knew it was a losing exchange for me, and I had to call them back and stop this kind of madness for now.
I took away all the offensive star weapons, but whenever my fallen gods tried to aim at the defensive ones, they failed to detonate even a single one of them.
"Now… What can this son of b*tch do to make the angels favour it over their precious dolls?" I gazed deeply at the colossal zombie in front of me, trying to see what I missed.
I kept creating more shields while considering this troublesome issue. I recalled what I knew about this creature.
It came from the dead body of my turtle. According to my little turtle, it kept claiming that it was a descendant of dragons. Even if it was a turtle, it said it carried the bloodline of dragons inside its body.
Was it the reason then? Were they trying to level it up using whatever methods the zombies had?
Or was it the den? I didn't know where this den might be, as it was built under the ocean. The ocean was vast, and the den could be anywhere.
But seeing the small number of zombies coming out from the ocean made me unsure about this hypothesis.
Dealing with this turtle zombie out of water was a headache in itself. And if I tried to aim for the den to deal with it, then I would have to face not only the turtle zombie in unfavourable conditions, but also all the high grade zombies coming out from the den as well.
I could fight under water, and I had lots of monsters and warriors who could battle under water. Water battles weren't my sore spot anymore.
But that was under normal circumstances. This battle was a very high level one. And I didn't have any confidence in myself to make it out as a winner.
I didn't know what it took from the zombie race to make the dens all crushed and turned into my own puppets. But if they were required to get near the den and do something there, then I was sure this wasn't going to work.
Besides, I still didn't try it out to test it.
"I can't leave this place," I felt that something was binding this turtle zombie from leaving this spot. But as I didn't know what it was, I couldn't tell if this was permanent or temporary.
My gut feeling told me it was just a temporary case, and sooner or later the zombie would traverse my land and bring death everywhere.
It couldn't be stopped here, and I felt that later on I wouldn't.
What should I do then?
One option was to use endless warriors to kill it. But seeing the thick red curtain shielding it, I knew this wasn't going to work.
I thought about using my research department's modified human weapons. But again, the destructive power of this wasn't anything close to the combined ultimate attacks of five thousands fallen gods.
If all these fallen gods failed to bring it down, then I couldn't think of anything weaker to do what the fallen gods failed to do.
"It seems I have to use the same trick again," feeling helpless by finding no feasible way to deal with this danger, I took out another dark realm monster bone and looked at it in deep thought.
I could bind the movements of this goliath and the other high grade zombies using the explosion coming from this bone of mine.
I used the same trick already to bind the other giant behemoth zombie. And it worked just fine. However I knew this wasn't a solution at all.
It would buy me more time, and I had to find a proper way to deal with these troublesome zombies before the fire would die out.
"The top priority now is to seal this thing for now," I tried to search again for anything I had and could use.
I even thought about using the Hescos I had total control over to make them fight this turtle zombie, but something told me they wouldn't be of any help at all.
The most troublesome thing wasn't just the falling defensive red beams, but also that grand turtle zombie.
Its body was like a small continent floating over the ocean. Compared to my little turtle, it was much bigger without doubt.
This was all thanks to the boosts gained from the different quest levels. And so even if I tried to bring my little turtle here, it wouldn't even be of any help at all.
I thought about summoning all of my giant pets, but it felt like their combined strength wasn't enough.
I clenched the dark realm bone and decided to use it. Rushing to solve this problem in a few hours wasn't going to help. I had to take my time and try to find a way to crush these zombies once and for all.
As I decided, I held that bone in one hand and threw it in the air. Then I jumped all over it and started to refine it the same way I did before.
When it was ready, I risked and used a portal gate, appeared just beside that turtle dude, let the bone drop, then I teleported away.
This time I didn't return to my shield safe zone. Instead I appeared tens of miles away.
And from my position I could see a scary flare of red light that started to shine in that part of the world in a menacing way.
