Countless people on the island were in despair and terror.
On the first day of the war, to have it escalate to this level, it is imaginable how terrifyingly intense the future war will be.
The people living on Crime Prison Island, even though they've gotten used to living in constant danger, still feel sorrow at this moment.
This island is too small to hold so many powerful figures.
As long as a Quasi-Dragon King decides to fight to the death, it will inevitably be a catastrophe for countless people.
So leaving is a basic consensus among everyone; this is a prison.
"Boom!"
A total of twelve villages were the first to face a calamity comparable to an asteroid impact.
This is not the same as a tsunami; the dragon elephants inside can only run because they too will die.
Only Quasi-Dragon Kings can stop it, but most Quasi-Dragon Kings don't stay in such edge villages.
By the time they arrive, it would be too late; it's better to abandon one frontline village to protect those behind.
So at this moment, only those like Tai Sui, Quinn, Lion King, and Eagle King on the battle's frontline can protect the village.
Gao Xin was seen heading towards New Moon Village of Angry Water Town.
Hovering in the air outside the village, he struck the throne, deploying a powerful protection field to block the high-energy impact.
The people inside the village were trembling, with Carl guarding the village; he had already besieged the Eden Garden's forces attacking New Moon Village.
At this moment, even the Dragon Level of Eden Garden stopped, shocked as they watched this scene.
"Dong!"
The giant light shield vibrated and blocked, with the scarlet blade light rebounding against the moon.
Gao Xin's protective ability was very strong; he could use every trick, with no weaknesses.
New Moon Village only suffered from intense radiation attacks, but this degree could be blocked by permanent defenses without his concern.
As long as he could prevent New Moon Village from being destroyed, then all the villages behind it could be spared.
But unfortunately, he also had enclaves.
They were Ancient Snake Village, Tongling Village, and Jade Village.
Gao Xin once again employed Solomon, letting him protect Alan in Ancient Snake Village.
After all, that was in Eden Garden's direction; now that he's at war with those guys, if he didn't manage it, no one would care about its fate.
In comparison, Tongling Village was in the direction of Evil Dragon Castle, and Jade Village was in the direction of Milan State, which might have others helping to block it.
But that's all he could do; he couldn't block more because Quinn had his own territory to protect.
Quinn was blocking destruction in the New World direction, with Lion King, Eagle King, and Adam also temporarily retreating to guard their turf.
"Whoosh..." It was unclear how much time had passed, the dust settled.
The power of the Star Nebula Storm Hammer had dissipated, and Gao Xin successfully protected his territory behind him.
"Whee!"
Gao Xin immediately soared up and returned to Death Hills.
Upon arrival, he found the area unrecognizable, with the terrain drastically changed!
Death Hills had disappeared, transformed into a death sinkhole...
The sinkhole was filled with a magma sea and pervasive luminous steam.
Part of the area was fully plasmified, forming a plasma lake, all resembling a purgatory.
Cooling this place quickly was impossible, as if Crime Prison Island had been blasted into a magma inland sea.
"Dong dong dong dong!"
Gao Xin looked toward Ancient Snake Village, where flames shot up into the sky, with thick smoke billowing, seemingly half destroyed.
As expected, Solomon couldn't completely protect there either, after all, as soon as he appeared, Long Qi immediately attacked him.
"Damn it..."
Gao Xin rushed over, and from afar saw that Ancient Snake Village was almost destroyed.
Except for the Silver Tower still standing, all structures had collapsed and shattered.
Only the foundations remained intact, it was evident Solomon only protected the bunker area under Long Qi's interference.
As for above-ground, it's not so much a battlefield littered with corpses, but rather tens of thousands without even a body left.
Gao Xin could see some building remnants with human-shaped shadows, in various postures.
Those were the shadows of humans vaporized and impacted instantly, leaving behind these few traces like high-temperature prints.
"Long Qi! Because of you, a village was destroyed, is something like this what an apostle does?"
Gao Xin questioned Long Qi.
Long Qi replied coldly, "I didn't cause the explosion, I just followed orders to teach Solomon a lesson."
Long Qi was seen wielding a large sword, continuously shattering and reassembling Solomon.
Unable to win initially, Solomon, who just resisted part of the high-energy impact, stood no chance now, completely defenseless.
"Okay..." Gao Xin sneered, understanding what Long Qi meant.
The battle with Solomon indirectly caused numerous deaths in Ancient Snake Village, paralleling earlier events that would indirectly lead to Gao Xin's defeat, essentially making no difference.
Long Qi felt no responsibility as long as he didn't directly kill someone from Crime Prison Island.
An apostle could even engage him directly, as long as they didn't kill him.
Under Saint Peter's firm execution, apostles adhered to rules absolutely, incapable of direct rule confrontation, but there were ways to bypass them.
After all, they were also the rule-makers themselves.
This resembled how the Supreme Council legislated laws, even if they introduced the so-called AI judges, claiming absolute fairness with no false or wrongful cases.
Yet false or wrongful cases persisted?
Because those who made the rules were those privileged groups who knew perfectly how to circumvent rules they set up themselves.
So, using any judge made no difference, and AI judges would be even more inhumane, lacking empathy, even more convenient...
"A lesson? Teach your father a lesson!"
Solomon was pushed to his breaking point.
He looked at Gao Xin angrily: "Weren't you letting me rest?"
"Something came up, so you called me back to work. Damn it! Hurry up and help me!"
Solomon was extremely frustrated, his eyes flickering with uncertainty, as if a certain resolution was forming.
Meanwhile, the Lion King, Eagle King, and the Holy War Army commander, along with others, launched a Sky-crossing Fierce Bombardment and once again surrounded them.
The Lion King chuckled: "Oh? It's just you now?"
"Great chance, kill him quickly!"
The Lion King and others were delighted. With Quinn absent and having already entered the Super Lion King form, it was enough to handle Gao Xin.
What's more, there was Adam, who had regained his senses, wielding the Storm Hammer, and the other three Quasi-Dragon Kings?
Solomon was getting beaten up again, and Gao Xin was surrounded here, it was a dead-end situation.
Gao Xin was momentarily stunned. Because he was worried about Alan and others in the Ancient Snake Village, plus he needed to collect cards, he came immediately without rendezvousing with Quinn first.
Didn't expect the Lion King and others to come so quickly. On one hand, Ancient Snake Village was close to them.
On the other hand, this group hadn't really protected their village well. They probably just handled it a bit, then quickly came over to continue the fight.
This is very bad.
"Hah!"
"Boom!"
The battle erupted instantly. The Lion King and others could not wait, they all made their moves, all of them deadly attacks.
Especially with the Eagle King holding the Storm Hammer, the destructive power and attack range went up a level. Gao Xin didn't even have a chance to flee, immediately facing life-threatening danger.
"Finish it quickly! Don't wait for Quinn to arrive!" The Holy War Army commander was excited, seeing the hope of killing Tai Sui.
"Tch..."
Gao Xin was instantly in crisis, and that move from the Eagle King, although not directly damaging, had made numerous enemies, provoking both the Evil Dragon Empire and the Milan Order.
But at least, for the moment, he broke his formation with Quinn, forcing them to each defend the villages around the hills.
Without Quinn, in this situation, Gao Xin simply couldn't fight unless he transformed into a dragon.
He even caught a glimpse of Apostle Dragon Qilin's cold face, showing a barely noticeable faint smile.
"Solomon, you go first... don't be..." Gao Xin waved his hand, planning to collect the Dragon King Card.
Unexpectedly, Solomon said this time: "I'm not leaving! Today I'm standing my ground!"
For the first time, he refused to clock out.
Gao Xin squinted: "You're still unable to retaliate, what use are you? Are you hoping the Main Angel Body gets completely destroyed so you won't have to be a Dragon King Card anymore?"
He immediately thought that Solomon wanted to cooperate with Dragon Qilin.
Anyway, even if Solomon got beaten to death it wouldn't matter, it's just a Main Angel Body. If it's destroyed, he's free, not needing to be a Dragon King Card.
However, hearing Gao Xin's words, Solomon got angry: "Who says I'm useless!"
Boom!
Suddenly, a man in a black suit, like a body of gold and iron, fell down with a clang, smashing into the ruins of Ancient Snake Village.
"Tai Sui! Give me a billion, I want to smash Dragon Qilin!" Solomon's roar shook the heavens and earth.
The faces of the Lion King and others changed, what? Solomon also wants to join the battle in person?
The Eagle King was irritated: "Why does he only want a billion?"
"Stop joking... Solomon... I was just hired..." Dragon Qilin's face was varied.
Solomon raised his chin, proudly looking at Dragon Qilin: "What? Now you know to speak nicely to me?"
"Can't I be hired? Tai Sui, transfer the money quickly!"
Gao Xin hesitated slightly, seeing Solomon wanting to confront Dragon Qilin, he was surprised, could it be that Solomon and Dragon Qilin are not on the same side?
This was possible, though they were all apostles, each apostle was clearly an independent individual. You could say they were another civilization, but not that they were united at heart.
Saint Peter was a high-level apostle, a major leader, with a Blazing Angel Body, akin to a great noble flowing with imperial blood, in human terms.
Dragon Qilin was an ordinary apostle but part of the Supreme Four Pillars, considered middle management.
As for Solomon... what's been talked about most for a long time is... he's eager to clock out.
In terms of perception, he seemed like the most ordinary of apostles, like a regular employee in a company.
If the apostle group had classes, then it wouldn't be impossible for him not to know what reasons Dragon Qilin was meddling for.
But it's only a possibility. Gao Xin was not willing to easily trust the apostles, perhaps Solomon deliberately wanted to join in person, making the fight fiercer, having a greater influence on him.
"Hire you? But I have no money, anyway your real body can't beat him, forget it."
Gao Xin no longer looked at him, directly refused, waving his hand to turn Solomon back into a Dragon King Card.
Not knowing Solomon's standing, doing more would lead to mistakes, making Dragon Qilin not act, was the best approach.
"No money? Then owe me first!"
The moment Solomon was turned into a Dragon King Card, that man in a black suit opened his eyes!
Then, like lightning, he charged up to clash with Dragon Qilin. At that moment, he displayed astonishing strength, equal to Dragon Qilin in might.
"Clang clang clang!"
The two apostles, bodies like Poverty Alloy, collided.
The orange force field, geometrically shifting, impacting and obliterating each other, burst into a myriad of tiny lights.
Gao Xin was stunned because he found that as long as he stayed behind Solomon, he wouldn't be affected by the so-called battle.
Because the strength of the two apostles was about the same, with no power gap, Dragon Qilin had to go all out.
Solomon's orange force field could neutralize most of his power.
As long as he revolved around the two apostles fighting, Gao Xin could use 'pillar-circling' to avoid being affected by Dragon Qilin.
With this, Gao Xin could again face six at once, holding out the situation.
Though he would still be defeated, before that, it would be enough to wait for Quinn to arrive.
"Damn it!"
The Eagle King raged: "Why doesn't he want money?"
