Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?

Chapter 159 Eight Seconds Time


On the other side of Gibraltar Fortress, Peggy, carrying the signal emitter, had made ready to infiltrate.

Noticing the time had arrived, she took a deep breath and began sprinting toward the city gates.

After ascending to Demigod rank, both her physical strength and spirituality had greatly enhanced, so in the blink of an eye, she dashed the nearly hundred meters to the gates. Before the Guards could even react, she had already burst through and into the city.

The Guards were a bit dazed and astonished, yet since the Banshees overhead did not sound any alarm, the one who rushed in must be a member of the Blood Clan...

Before this thought could finish, a shrill alarm had already echoed over the entire city.

The Dark Sky had detected the space-based hydrogen bomb beginning to enter the atmosphere at about a hundred thousand meters altitude!

Three Undead Demigods swiftly took to the skies, their gazes rapidly scanning within the city.

Flight was not a particularly challenging feat for the bloodline of the Undead Spirits. However, flying up to intercept a space-based missile... of course, was out of the question.

With a speed of Mach 27, it would only take about 11 seconds to hit the surface. Forget that the Demigods could hardly fly high enough in 11 seconds; even if they could reach an adequate altitude to intercept the missile, how were they to lock onto such a high-speed object with their Law Skills?

Yet Gibraltar Fortress was connected to the Netherworld, able to twist space, and with inertial guidance alone, it was impossible for the space-based missile to hit the fortress. Due to the Dark Sky's interference, satellite, electromagnetic, and optical guidance were also impossible.

The only exception was Ω wave technology. According to intelligence from the Undead Kingdom, the Church Court had long been developing a special band communication that could freely transmit signals under the cover of the Dark Sky, but this device required a signal emitter to broadcast the band, providing effective guidance for the space-based missile.

That is to say, they had to find the infiltrator carrying the signal emitter!

Of course, finding an imposter in the entire fortress was no easy task, especially since they were accustomed to relying on "whether Undead" to identify friend from foe. When faced with a traitor who was also an Undead, it would be much more difficult to discern.

Nevertheless, given that they had anticipated this eventuality, the Undead Kingdom had naturally also prepared corresponding plans. Indeed, as the three Demigods and a large army were lured away by the unknown human Demigod, the remaining stationed Demigods considered the possibility of an enemy "luring the snake out of its hole" and summoned all the Undead Commanders into the fortress's castle.

With the establishment of the command network shared among them, countless points representing controlled Undead Spirits also emerged within the consciousness of the three Demigods. Any Undead under a Commander's control would be marked within this shared network.

At the same time, the hordes of Banshees personally controlled by the three Undead Demigods were swiftly commencing a carpet-search within Gibraltar Fortress.

Found her!

In roughly one and a half seconds, a Banshee squad from the northeast region discovered a mysterious Blood Clan girl rushing through the streets.

The location of this Blood Clan girl showed no points representing controlled Undead in the command network. In other words, this Blood Clan girl was not under the control of any present Commanders!

With high probability, this was the foreign agent carrying the signal emitter!

The scouting Banshee squad was first to swoop down, striking ferociously at the Blood Clan girl. Meanwhile, two of the air-borne Demigods instantly split off, rushing toward the same direction.

Peggy lifted her head and swung trails of black light towards the diving Banshee squads.

Death Law. Curse Death!

Since ascending to Demigod Rank, the Curse Death skill, which had previously consumed a significant amount of spirituality, was now well within the support of her total spiritual pool. The black light hit several Banshees who didn't even have time to screech before they turned to ash in mid-air.

The Undead, who used supernatural means to evade death, were pitifully fragile before the wielder of Death Authority, like paper.

Two seconds had passed by this point, leaving about three-quarters of the time. Peggy was also slightly caught off guard by being discovered so quickly by the enemy.

However, with her temperament, she was by no means flustered by this. Not just two Undead Demigods – even if there were twenty, or two hundred... as long as none were a Squad Leader, she would dare to confront them without fear.

The first Undead Demigod to rush over descended from the sky, unleashing an unreserved powerful move:

Spirit Scream!

Everyone knew that the strength of the Blood Clan lay in their super-fast physical recovery, but their weakness was their relatively weak spirit resistance. Therefore, whenever she unleashed her Spirit Scream, the Blood Clan enemies would usually adopt a strategy of quickly retreating to avoid it.

However, this time, with the Damo Sword hanging high in the sky and the threat of space-based missiles imminent, her ultimate move was cast without any reservations, covering an area with a radius of five hundred meters, twice the normal range of the Spirit Scream. If the enemies attempted the same strategy of a quick retreat, they would most likely be unable to flee the range of her skill in time and would be stunned by the Spirit Scream.

Of course, even in the small chance that they managed to accelerate astonishingly fast and dash out of the five-hundred-meter range in an instant... that wouldn't matter because five hundred meters was well beyond the bounds of Gibraltar Fortress.

Once the enemy left the fortress's range, they wouldn't think of getting any closer!

The intangible Spirit Scream reverberated outward, causing the surrounding Undead Spirits to clutch their heads in anguished howls. The Banshees, like flocks of geese shot from the sky, fell helplessly, and the skulls of the Undead on the ground exploded one after another, creating a scene of flying flesh and blood that was both shocking and horrific.

Yet Peggy did not retreat but advanced forward, her Death Domain rapidly expanding from where she stepped.

Withering!

As the inky sea spread out, the buildings nearby aged and crumbled swiftly, corpses rotted away, and the ground shrank and collapsed.

The Spirit Scream that rushed into the Death Domain immediately dissipated, visible to the naked eye, and turned into nihility.

This guy... Seeing her full-powered ultimate move effortlessly neutralized, the Demigod was both shocked and enraged.

The enemy's Law Domain was unexpectedly formidable, but there was no time left to probe!

Four seconds had passed, and another Demigod rapidly flew above Peggy, quickly pressing down with both hands as a massive surge of Spirituality emerged.

A visible, large-scale distortion sank rapidly, and for a moment Peggy couldn't even recognize what Law Skill it was. However, that overwhelming pressure soon pressed into her domain.

Even after being attenuated through the layers of the Withering Skill, when the enemy's skill reached Peggy, it still possessed a terrifying force that caused all her bones to start cracking.

Peggy bit down stubbornly, resisting the pressure as she raised her arm and released a black light towards the Demigod in the sky. Her body then suddenly turned into a pool of filth, and the pressure on her vanished.

Seeing the pool of filth not escaping outward but instead quickly rushing toward the center of the fortress, the Demigod swiftly dodged the Death Curse Black Light and, in a fury, unleashed his ultimate move again, sparing no effort in expelling Spirituality and continuing to cast a wide-range AOE skill.

Wherever Peggy fled, the enemy's skills pressed down. Under the dual destruction of the Withering Skill and positional skills, Gibraltar Fortress soon became a vast expanse of ruins, so battered there was no need for a hydrogen bomb to blast it again.

The three Undead Demigods: ???

Excluding the two who were attacking, the remaining Demigod couldn't stand by any longer. He was initially staying high in the sky, not going down to deal with Peggy because he was concerned that Peggy might not be the real target and that someone else might actually be carrying the signaling device. That's why he continued to stay put and focused on searching.

However, seeing his two companions uselessly smashing away to no effect and precious time having already slipped away for six seconds, with even a hint of a star's tail (the tail flame of the space-based missile) appearing in the Dark Sky above them, he couldn't stay put any longer. Grinding his teeth, he dove down, aiming for the pool of filth still approaching the center of the fortress!

Then, the pool of filth disappeared.

By the time the guidance timer reached seven seconds, Mia had timed her teleportation from afar.

Grab Peggy!

Teleport to the center of the fortress!

Drop the signaling device!

Teleport away with Peggy again!

These seamless actions were completed in less than a second. By the time the Undead Demigods reacted, only a suspicious device with a blinking red light was left in that spot.

The signaling device! Definitely the signaling device!

In an instant, all three Undead Demigods unleashed their fastest Law Skills, shattering the suspicious device into pieces.
