Xyrin Empire-Chapter 221 - Avenger

Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Avenger

Chapter 221 -221 Avenger

At that moment, Divine Island was completely surrounded by layers of Dead Souls and Flying Demons. Although the anti-aircraft guns on the island could blast countless Stone-statue Ghosts into dust every second, and the spreading fortress cannons at each corner of the island had turned the Frost Dragons into endless grinders of flesh, the desperation level of these creatures had exceeded our expectations; one could even say, even if they were blasted into fragments, they still aimed to smash their remains against the protective barrier of Divine Island.

Moreover, the number of this chaotic Irregular Army had reached a terrifying level. The enemy targets displayed on the radar had changed from a pile of dense red dots to huge patches of red, and these patches were still expanding. I even suspected that the Fallen Apostle on the other side had thrown their cannon fodder troops, accumulated over more than a dozen years in Azeroth and the Twisted Void, into this battle, although I was well aware that the cunning enemy Commander would not adopt such perilous tactics.

As soon as the first Frost Dragon broke through the fire blockade and reached the sky above Divine Island, delegations of various races and their escorts had joined the battle. These natives of the Azeroth world, although not comparably powerful as the Leader-level Apostle Pandora, at least had the strength of High Order Apostles. Several Mages, after an all-out attack, even displayed fire power almost comparable to an Escort Ship, which made me reconsider my previous underestimation of the Azerothians. Among these mighty beings of various races, representatives of the Dragon Clan were particularly eye-catching. Perhaps provoked by the Frost Dragon, a severe challenger to the dignity of their clan, these noble creatures fought in a mad manner; Dragon Breath, Dragon Language Magic, claw strikes, and Flying Pounces – they demonstrated every attack method I could think of, and almost all foes killed by them summed up to more than the total killed by other representatives, with Frost Dragons making up nearly eighty percent of that toll. Such outcome made me realize: indeed, the mad ones are feared even by the reckless…

However, when I decided to deploy the Avenger, I urgently recalled these excited warriors, because, firstly, even if powerful, being isolated wasn’t effective in such large-scale Army operations; secondly, they were significant figures among their people, and any mishap at this time could strike a severe blow to the Salvation Army, which was newly established and still had numerous internal issues; and thirdly… the unit known as Avengers was just too distinctive…

With various combat units retreating towards their Mother Ship’s Protective Barrier, the chaotic sky suddenly seemed much emptier. Of course, this space was quickly filled by the enemies who thought victory was at hand, but with the presence of strong Protective Barriers, these frenzied attackers could not cause much damage for a while. Soon, however, they were greeted by the most terrifying troop type from Xyrin.

The originally closed upper layer armor of Divine Island opened numerous launch ports, inside which brightly-lit transport tunnels buzzed with the sounds generated by anti-gravity engines running at full power, heralding a large influx of flying class soldiers heading towards the exits.

Leading the way out were the barrels of two heavy-duty, personal Ghost Energy Cannons. This type of handheld cannon, notorious for both its power consumption and firepower, was rarely equipped even by the sizable Xyrin Soldiers but were standard issue for Avengers; and surprisingly, following these devastating weapons out of the launch ports were not bigger men than the Terminators, but a number of slim female soldiers clad in blood-red Alloy Armor.

Yes, female soldiers; emerging at the launch bay doors were groups of Xyrin Apostles, all uniformly equipped with the same weapons, armor, and even sporting identical blood-red long hair, indistinguishable body height and physique, and faces that seemed molded from the same cast; in short, these Xyrin Female Soldiers known as Avengers were practically a cloned army, and you couldn’t spot a single difference between them down to a strand of hair.

Honestly, when I first saw these girls, I was also startled by the fact that the “infamous Revenge Army was actually a women’s army”.

I had always wondered why the most famous legion under Sandora’s command was known as Revenge Army, and now, the mystery had been solved.

The reason lies in these specialized Xyrin Apostles called Avengers; they are Sandora’s most beloved Intermediate combat units and were once the most terrifying troop under Battle Song Princess, capable of terrifying the enemies. Since these units are far more advanced than regular Xyrin Soldiers, Sandora had not allowed Bubbles to produce such costly warfare equipment, and I also had only recently learned of their existence in the military system of Xyrin.

Perhaps just from the exterior, you can’t see how terrifying the Avengers are — cough, cough, drag out that guy who yelled for tens of thousands of female soldiers to collectively use the Seduction Technique — after all, they are still equipped with “conventional weapons” within the realm of imagination, and their slender figures don’t seem very oppressive, but these characters’ terror lies not in their appearances.

The first skill is “Fanatic Revenge.” Within ten minutes, by overloading all the components of their body at the cost of driving the two Ghost Energy Cannons in their hands, the attack range was extended by three hundred percent, the hit probability was increased by two hundred percent, the attack power was increased by three hundred percent, and the attack speed was increased by five hundred percent. In this state, the Avengers would destroy all the energy safety valves within their bodies, causing their energy furnaces to uncontrollably and madly output energy, making each of their attacks add thirty percent splash damage, and this damage value would rapidly increase as the reactors inside these mad warriors gradually collapsed!

Terrifying, right? Two individual Ghost Energy Cannons, under such circumstances, could perform with a might not inferior to an escort ship’s main cannon. That is to say, in terms of attack power, an Avenger in “Fanatic Revenge” mode could single-handedly take down a warship!

However, any bug means system errors, any mods mean account bans, and any golden fingers mean great costs.

As I mentioned earlier, the state of Fanatic Revenge lasts “within ten minutes,” but this does not mean that after ten minutes the effects of Fanatic Revenge will stop, but rather… ten minutes later, Avengers themselves will burn out completely due to full-body overload, melting into a pile of residual energy…

It is a skill that ensures certain death once activated.

Their second skill is even crazier than the first—”Glory Sacrifice Explosion.”

Put simply, it’s self-destruction. They rush to the most densely populated enemy area, then destroy their body’s control center, detonate the specially made, super-capacity Ghost Energy Reactor along with all the explosive materials and weapon ammunition they are loaded with. An out-of-control Ghost Energy Reactor’s explosion could almost tear a light Xyrin destroyer to pieces. The outer armor of these Avengers is made from specially made Noke Stone burst casings, which, upon the explosion of the energy furnace, turns this layer of not-so-durable armor into deadly shrapnel raining in the sky. An Avenger rushing into a crowd is definitely more terrifying than the craziest terrorist!

And the commonest tactics of the Avengers are simple; they activate “Fanatic Revenge” as soon as they enter the battlefield, followed by a dash to perform a “Glory Sacrifice Explosion” after ten minutes of frenzied slaughter, using the most insane and terrifying means to crush the enemies’ bodies and spirits.

By now, you all must have realized, Avengers are a type of one-time weapon, and an extremely unconventional one-time weapon at that.

When I first learned about this type of soldiers, I was utterly shocked. Such mad, and even… perverted methods of combat were very hard for someone like me, who had lived in a peaceful environment for so many years, to accept. Moreover, using ordinary soldiers’ lives as consumables…

But fortunately, Xyrin Apostles are not life-wasting madmen. Although Avengers are intermediate-level combat units, they are different from regular intermediate Xyrin Apostles— they are all mindless mechanical puppets, without even basic thinking ability or independent personalities. These simple-structured robots don’t even have a complete memory circuit; once activated, they can only record up to ten clear commands, and engage in combat under a simple reflex-based control system. Aside from a human appearance, these “female soldiers” are merely thoughtless robots. Although the initial purpose of such a design was to reduce the cost of these disposable products, for me, it also significantly bypasses a major issue of humanitarianism.

Of course, I still insist that making a specially made semi-intelligent bomb in the guise of a human is in extremely poor taste…
