Chapter 287
However, the floating fortresses still had a drawback that could not be circumvented — the problem of energy consumption.
Although Adam had carved an energy-gathering magic circle on the power core of each city to share the energy consumption, the hundreds of big guys still used up a lot of energy crystals for every meter they moved.
This also meant that they could not fly around freely to eliminate enemies and discover targets.
This was where the scouts were needed.
Some of the more advanced Titans, who had been influenced by Adam's war theories, had painfully given up on the idea that 'big is strong' and experimentally chose to evolve towards' small 'evolution. This group of Titans came in handy at this time, taking on the role of scouts.
Adam, on the other hand, had his own scouts, the forest elves.
Both sides brought back the same news almost at the same time. "The warning areas marked on the map are all empty. The altars are gone."
In the capital, the Titan Kings looked at each other. They knew that Adam's guess had come true. The Gold-Eaters were indeed seeking energy to help the Devourer. This meant that the final battle was unavoidable.
"Let's go to the Land of the Divine Awakening. That will be the place of our final battle."

The death of every apostle was accompanied by the death of most of their descendants. Only the elites with the title of emissary could survive. Therefore, there were far fewer Gold-Eaters in the Land of the Divine Awakening than the Titans had imagined.
The First Apostle might not know the saying "the fox mourns the death of the hare," but this was how it felt now.
It had just killed the Third Apostle and sent it and its descendants to the altars.
The energy beams shooting out of the ninety-nine outer altars were all connected to the hundredth altar. The beams shot into the swirling Chaos from the top of the hundredth altar. Through the strange clouds, one could see the dimming Origin of the Titan Plane, and the Devourer sleeping within.
The Second Apostle lay on the ground with its neck out. It had no will to resist. It was waiting for the altar to convert the energy of the sacrifice. Once the conversion was complete, it would be the one to die.
"The sacrifices should have been the Titans and the ordinary people living in ignorance, right?" The Second Apostle asked the Devourer and the First Apostle, as if it was talking to itself.
A hole opened in the First Apostle's abdomen. A huge kaleidoscope-like eyeball looked at the Second Apostle.
"But why did it become like this? Father is a god. Aren't we sons of god? Why must the Son of God die as well? "
"He was just angry. Why did he have to go to this extent?"
"First, you are Father's favorite child. Do you know why?"
After a while, the First Apostle confirmed that the Devourer was busy digesting the energy and devouring the AllSpark before replying, "Father is anxious. He said that the second time, he smelled a dangerous aura from that creature from another plane. "
The second apostle moved his body as if he was mocking him, "Just because of this? Father is a god. What can threaten him? "
"You know, Father is different from us. He has more inheritances. He said that it was an old enemy."
The second apostle laughed out loud. He laughed without restraint and said, "Even so, we still call him Father God. I …" His laughter stopped abruptly. "Forget it. I'm the same. I've never cared about the lives of my children. It's all the same."
"Everything is destined. We were born because of Father God. It's only right that we die for Father God. As long as he can defeat the enemy, we will be given a new life and be reborn in a new world," the first apostle said to the second apostle, but it sounded more like he was convincing himself.
"Do you believe it? Such words? "
There was dead silence. The surviving Gold Devourers who were guarding the altar wanted to cut off their hearing organs. This conversation was too terrifying. They could only force themselves to forget the content.
After a long time, the energy waves in the altar stabilized.
"It's your turn. Second, my brother." In the huge eyeball, there was a terrifying grey color.
"Hehe …"
"Hahahaha!"
The earth shook.
"This is our destiny."
The first apostle blinked and shot out energy.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from outside. A transparent energy beam pierced through the sky and landed on the shield of the 26st altar. The explosion dispersed the clouds. The two apostles and the Gold Devourers saw the flying continent at the same time.
The second apostle leaped up with all his might. He looked at the floating fortresses with satisfaction and viciousness.
Then, he exploded into pieces.

"The shield is very sturdy. How much energy do we have left?" The 81 kings stood side by side. King Sworthy asked Adam, who was in charge of logistics.
"We have enough for now. Attack with all your might. The 655 altars form a formation. As long as we can destroy a few important nodes, we can stop the 'feather' from falling. " Adam projected what he saw. Out of the 655 light spots, 67 of them were shining brightly. "That's them."
The operators of the floating fortresses were all quasi-royal wise men. Adam believed that they would be able to determine the firing frequency and target based on the information. After reaching every floating fortress under the command of the command center, Adam turned his attention to what he saw. "Is that the first apostle? What a … strange appearance. "
"That's right. His eyes can shoot out grey. It's the same grey color as the Devourers. It's a terrifying ability. I almost died under his eyes." When the seventh apostle attacked, King Faste had a brief confrontation with the first apostle. He still had lingering fears. "Other than the most ordinary energy characteristics, that grey color can pollute everything."
Pollute.
The same grey color had two different abilities. Adam was sure that the grey color that almost killed him was the Devourer ability.
The remaining Hyperdimensional Metal Devourers rushed into the sky and attacked the floating fortresses in groups. King Faste ordered, "It's your turn. Don't let the first apostle come into contact with the floating cities. His ability is too big a threat to us. "
"Don't worry about him," Adam said. "He's a hidden node. He can't walk out of the altar circle."
The other 80 kings nodded and transformed.
Facing this kind of attack, the 44 altars rotated, and the Metal Devourers who were used as sacrifices opened their eyes, continuously shooting out energy to counterattack.
Cannons roared, light beams flew, and explosions occurred one after another. Every volley would take away a large number of Gold Devourers' lives. The evolution of the Titans had determined that their combat style was different from that of ordinary elemental mages. Compared to extraordinary creatures, the Titans were more like technological war weapons. Their attack style was neither strange nor mysterious, but it was upright and had a unique feeling that made one's blood boil.
"The altars are moving. The altars can move!"
