Chapter 241: Effective Attack, Berserk State

When Kamiyu saw that the fire-element shells were ineffective against the Fear Emperor’s Fruit Ability Users during Phase Three, she felt somewhat disheartened, because the principle of fire overcoming wood in the five-element cycle did not work against the Fear Emperor.

Poison shells fell upon the earth, overturning all the Fruit Ability Users and poisoning the branches, leaves, and aerial roots of the Fear Emperor Tree until they withered.

The Fear Emperor let out a painful wail, frightening the fifth-tier Hungry Ghost Shara, those on the front lines, and all other intelligent Ability Users within Dragon Roar City into kneeling and prostrating.

Mephisto was so excited that he made the Dark Gold Sword Doombringer glow hot, saying, “The Fear Emperor, who was invincible a thousand years ago and could only destroy itself, has actually been unexpectedly harmed by you today. Truly worthy of being my granddaughter.”

It was truly a case of unintended success. Kamiyu never expected that the poison magic artillery shells she originally intended to seal away and not use could deal special damage to the Fear Emperor Tree.

Kamiyu was ecstatic. She said, “How can we stop now?”

She raised her right hand and declared loudly, “Continue firing, don’t stop. Aim at the branches, trunk, and aerial roots. I want to eradicate it completely and see whether the Fear Emperor’s vitality is stronger or my poison is more potent.”

The people in the Black Sphere War Room saw Kamiyu’s gesture and received the information Jack transmitted back via tablet.

“What? Poison shells are effective against the Fear Emperor Tree? They want us to aim at the tree’s branching bodies and bombard them, destroying all the man-eating vines and aerial roots of the Fear Emperor Tree.”

“Excellent! Even we mortals can harm a ‘god’.” Everyone saw hope of defeating the Fear Emperor ahead of time.

“The Fear Emperor is no god. It’s just a human who killed hundreds of millions of people, not even worthy of being called a demon,” Xiao Zhong said disdainfully.

“Wait, everyone, don’t get too excited. Lady Kamiyu wants us to aim carefully. The number of poison shells is limited, and the Fear Emperor Tree has already spread beyond Dragon Roar City, widely distributed. We can’t act recklessly like before,” Li Changde said.

Hearing Li Changde’s words, everyone in the war room nodded in agreement and began operating with precision.

The magic cannons have a range of 100 kilometers, while the triple-barreled magic main cannons have a range of up to 500 kilometers, comparable to short-range missiles. Both the cannons and main cannons have sufficient range to cover the core trunk area of the Fear Emperor Tree, rooted in the center of Dragon Roar City.

To prevent any accidents, Li Changde asked Kamiyu, “Lady Kamiyu, should we really attack the trunk area in the core zone of the Fear Emperor Tree? Could this disturb the tree?”

Before Kamiyu could answer, Mephisto interjected, “Attack? Why not? The Fear Emperor is about to revive. Once it revives, it will become extremely difficult to kill. You must deplete its strength as much as possible before it fully resurrects.”

Kamiyu asked, “Are you so convinced the Fear Emperor will revive?”

Mephisto understood the implication in Kamiyu’s words and said, “Don’t pin this on me. No matter how sneaky I am, I wouldn’t create such a terrifying enemy for you.

There is nothing the Fear Emperor cannot do. Its resurrection plan has been in preparation for a long time. Even when I was in Hell, I knew it was always scheming. Now, it’s taking advantage of the fusion of the two worlds while the rules of heaven and earth are still unstable to find an opportunity to revive.”

Kamiyu said, “Then I must stop it from reviving even more. Such a murderous Demon King absolutely cannot be allowed to wreak havoc upon the world.”

Kamiyu had no intention of becoming a Savior, but if the Fear Emperor revived, it would surely regard her as its number one enemy, and she would have to destroy it.

She involuntarily clenched her fist, a subtle movement that Jack noticed. Jack said, “No matter how powerful this Fear Emperor is, I will cut it down. If it revives once more, I will cut it down again.”

“Mhm, that’s a must. You’re the one I trust the most,” Kamiyu replied.

Without needing Kamiyu’s command, after hearing their conversation, Li Changde understood the importance of the Artillery Position and the Poison Shells. Now, the primary task of the Artillery Position was no longer to eliminate the remaining hundred thousand or so Fruit Ability Users in the third formation, but to bombard the Fear Emperor Tree Core Zone, poison its roots, and prevent its revival.

“Team A1, aim at area 56-12-84. Team A2, aim at area 56-12-90. Other small squads, aim at…”

“Each small squad, adjust the coverage of the fine areas on your own.”

One command after another was issued to each group of Artillery Players.

“Boom, boom, boom,” the sounds rang out.

Hundreds of Poison Shells from Magic Cannons streaked across the sky.

Hungry Ghost Shara, atop the Ability User human elephant, was immediately startled. If these hundreds of Poison Shells hit, half the people would die.

It hurriedly used its slave-control secret technique, ordering the remaining hundred thousand or so Fruit Ability Users to scatter completely to avoid mass casualties.

But the next moment, Hungry Ghost Shara was even more shocked and terrified because the Poison Shells did not strike the Fruit Ability Users of the third formation. Instead, they ignored them and ignored Hungry Ghost Shara, soaring high over their heads and flying toward the Fear Emperor Tree Core Zone.

Hungry Ghost Shara looked up at where the shells were about to fall, revealing a panicked expression: “That place is His Majesty Fear Emperor’s dwelling. These damned Players want to harm His Majesty Fear Emperor.”

After more than a minute of flight, the shells finally fell. “Boom, boom, boom, boom,” the sounds erupted.

“Poof, poof, poof.” The poison gas burst upon hitting the ground, making tremendous noises.

Waves of dark green smoke struck the dense thickets within the Core Zone. These Poison Shells were like herbicide with a 99.999% fatality rate, withering away all the Fear Emperor’s proliferating grass, Tree Vines, Tree Trunks, Tree Branches, and Aerial Roots within the smoke, truly invincible.

The originally dense, jungle-like Core Zone had all its plants poisoned to death, turning into a pile of withered, broken remnants, dead beyond dead.

“Ummuuuuu~” A heavy roar sounded again.

All Ability Users in Dragon Roar City were shaken and terrified by the Fear Emperor’s agonized cry.

“Hehehehe, hahahaha, that pervert Murder Maniac Fear Emperor, who would have thought it would have a day like this,” Mephisto said.

Kamiyu raised her eyebrows and lifted her right hand, continuing to signal the Artillery Position to keep firing, to hit it relentlessly. Weren’t you a Murder Maniac? Now let you taste the bitterness of being beaten with nowhere to hide.

The Black Sphere War Room kept observing the footage. “Well done, all hits.” “Second round, adjust direction.” “This time, aim for the Tree Trunk.”

The fifth-tier Hungry Ghost Shara knelt on the ground, his forehead drenched in cold sweat. He had heard the Fear Emperor’s command: “Spare no cost to eliminate that detestable Kamiyu. Do not let the poisonous gas attack reach the core tree trunk.”

Hungry Ghost Shara struggled to his feet, laboriously burning the scroll of the Fear Slave Secret Technique to cast a frenzied Buff upon the remaining hundred-thousand-strong army.

Jack in the sky exclaimed, “Look! The Ability User army below has gone berserk.”
