Chapter 302

The Devourer had been planning for this moment for a long time.

The seal was unbreakable. Although it would not die for the time being, there was almost no possibility for it to continue evolving or break free from the seal. It knew what the mages wanted to do, and it knew that this might be the best chance for it to regain its freedom.

The moment a hole appeared in the seal, the Devourer's entire body suddenly switched between reality and illusion. The gray, which had been silent for a long time, swept toward the hole like waves.

The true bodies of the six Hyperdimensional mages of the Third Holy Tower flickered with chaotic light. They opened a barrier in front of them and faced the gray. At this moment, their bodies seemed to have become broken shapes that were not related to each other. They approached the Devourer's body little by little.

They did not pay attention to the gray. They only had one mission, and that was to invade the soul of the Devourer.

The rest of the Hyperdimensional mages all walked out of the warship and stood in a star tetrahedron directly opposite the hole in the seal. Magic overflowed from their bodies and intertwined along the lines of the star tetrahedron, forming countless cross-sections that alternated between existence and non-existence. These cross-sections applied Adam's discontinuity function to divide the space into fragments to prevent the gray from spreading.

Unlike the wisp of gray that Adam faced in the power furnace of the God of Titan, the gray now was much more terrifying.

The Devourer's power was in the form of gas. The gray that entered the fragments formed an indescribable monster with mouths all over its body. It bit the space and the void, and then combined together to counterattack the Hyperdimensional mages.

This attack was the power that the Devourer had been accumulating for a long time. Even if the forty or so high-level Hyperdimensional mages outside worked together, they were still beaten back. The star tetrahedron was close to breaking under the impact of the gray waves many times. Every time this happened, there would be different numbers of Hyperdimensional mages who ran out of magic and retreated to the rear. However, the mages' formation was not disrupted at all. They advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. Whenever the mages in the front could not resist, the mages in the back would burst out with stronger magic to fill the gap and ensure the stability of the star tetrahedron.

At this moment, all of the Dilus in the Titan Plane received the signal from their 'father'. They roared at the sky and shot out endless gray rays, launching the most ferocious attacks at the fortresses in the middle.

The command center applied for a separate channel in the Magic Net, and all the participating mages were connected. A three-dimensional screen was projected on the wall of the Titan God's power furnace, and on it were dense dots of light. Each dot represented a mage, and the place where they converged was the floating fortress they were in.

"Numbers 7935 to 7055, there is a Rank 1 individual leading more than 65,555 ordinary Dillus in your direction."

"Hold them off for fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, another group of Mages will take over your defensive line."

Adam was on Floating Fortress 7934. The number of fortresses was huge, but the number of mages was limited. If the hundred thousand or so battle mages were evenly distributed among the four thousand fortresses, then each fortress would only have twenty to thirty mages. This number was far too lacking compared to the Dilus, and couldn't form an effective fighting force at all.

Thus, the command center organized the twenty fortresses into a team, ordering each team to move as one. They also built a stable short-range teleportation formation, ensuring that the mages within could complete support and retreat in the shortest time possible.

A Rank 9 alchemist mage in front of Adam took off his robe, revealing his true form. Countless miniature magic formations were spitting out mana amidst the flickering metallic light. Following his movements, all the Rank 9 mages in the team took a step forward and released their true forms. Mana gathered to form a vortex, and they faced the Rank 1 Dillus that had withstood the barrage of attacks from the fortresses and entered the fifty kilometer perimeter. Iron 72, Air 86, and the other six Titans that were assigned to Adam's team flew out at the same time.

Even Garfield had joined the battle.

Among the remaining mages, Adam had the highest authority as an exploration-type, so he naturally took over command. His voice was transmitted to everyone's ears, "Everyone, get into position. Defensive barriers at fifty percent, main cannons at eighty percent. Target the ordinary Dillus. Fire five volleys, secondary cannons at one hundred percent. Bombard at will."

The Rank 1 Dillus was too strong, and the attacks from the floating fortresses could hardly threaten or hit it. Rather than wasting energy, it was better to eliminate the ordinary Dillus.

The moment they received Adam's order, the remaining mages immediately returned to their respective posts through teleportation magic, silently carrying out their mission. At this time, they were fully loaded with stored energy stones and a small amount of Ether crystals. They couldn't use their own mana yet. If any of the Rank 9 mages died within fifteen minutes, these low-level battle mages would have to immediately join the battle and use their lives to pin down the Rank 1 Dillus.

The ordinary Titans took on the hard work, continuously transporting tons of energy stones to save time for the mages.

Adam shared his radar vision with every mage, increasing the accuracy of the cannons. Meanwhile, he himself went to the combined power core, his electronic true body attached to it, using his own mana to speed up the cooldown of the ten floating fortresses in the team.

The battle didn't just take place in Adam's area, but in every corner of the sky. The high-level mages bravely welcomed the enemy, while the low-level mages worked silently at their respective posts, ready to fill in the gaps when needed.

The battle mages were very clear that they didn't have the ability to finish the battle in one fell swoop. Their biggest mission was to stall for time. As long as the operation of the Third Holy Tower succeeded, the Devourer's Rank 4 characteristics would degenerate. At that time, the Hyperdimensional mages would be liberated and could join the battle, leading the mage army to victory.

Dillus also understood this principle. Only by reaching the battlefield where the Hyperdimensional mages were and interfering with the operation to rescue the Devourer would they have any hope of survival. Therefore, they would definitely break through the defensive line at all costs.

This battle had been at its most desperate from the very beginning. Every moment, there were lives being lost. The rank 9 mages could only resist for a while longer, and if they revealed a flaw for even a moment, they would be swallowed up by the endless Dillus.

In the radar vision, a Rank 9 mage was hit directly by Dillus' gray ray. The mage's armor only resisted for three seconds before shattering and disappearing. The mage's true body was exposed to the Rank 1 attack and was swallowed up inch by inch.

Adam took a deep breath, turned the cannon muzzle, and reported two sets of coordinates at the same time.

"Main cannon charge at two hundred percent. Fire a round!"

Two energy pillars with a diameter of a thousand meters accurately bombarded the predetermined coordinates, sealing off the path of the Rank 1 Dillus and buying some time for the Rank 9 mages. However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw a terrifying scene.

The Rank 1 Dillus opened his huge mouth, allowing the energy pillars to bombard him without any damage.
