Chapter 786: Bombardment

Chapter 786: Bombardment

Nainai quickly increased in size and soon turned into a small giant at five meters tall. With level 7 Scale, she could maintain this size for at least twenty minutes.

Lying on the ground with her face down, she pressed her arms and legs together, turning into a small flying vessel. Chen Ying, Zhang Wei, and Hong Xiaoxiao quickly moved the boxes of bombs onto Nainai’s back, tying them up to make sure they wouldn’t fall off.

Then Chen Ying took off her shoes and jumped onto Nainai’s back, standing beside the boxes and holding onto the bindings.

“Depart!”

Nainai yelled. Air rippled around her like the currents a helicopter would generate when taking off, sweeping and messing up everyone’s hair and clothes, making them close their eyes.

Nainai took flight stably and flew toward the entrance to the Union’s underground base.

“Whoa, is that...” Gao Xinxin’s twin tails were all messed up, and her lips parted in shock. “Transformer?”

In truth, Nainai had simply copied Can’s level 5 Gale with her Shapeshifter and took flight by manipulating wind. She only lay down to carry bombs. Her role in this mission was to be a fighter jet, and Chen Ying would be the pilot.

Reaching two hundred meters up in the air, Nainai quickly flew toward the small forest.

Holding onto the bindings with one hand and holding onto the remote control for the bombs with the other hand, Chen Ying shouted against the wind, “Nainai...”

“That’s Empress Nainai to you!”

“Empress Nainai, drop to fifty meters in the air when going past the forest and slow down a little. When I yell, ‘Run,’ speed up and flee up into the sky immediately.”

“How trivial. Like flipping a hand!” Nainai described it in her own words. “A rollercoaster going through a U curve, yeah?”

“Right on!” Chen Ying smiled. The girl was as immature as it came, but also as dependable as it came.

Soon, The Nainai Jet flew toward the forest and dove down quickly. Chen Ying timed it and made a strong kick to drop a box of bombs.

Once the bombs flew into the forest, Chen Ying eyed its fall and shouted, “Run!”

She pressed the detonation button.

...

Two seconds later, a terrifying explosion hit the heart of the forest. The resulting hemisphere of blinding red light spread in all directions with tremendous destructive power, instantly wiping out the entire forest.

Firelight threatened to reach heaven, blooming into giant irregularly shaped mushroom clouds.

While fleeing at maximum speed, Nainai sensed a flash behind her. It felt like an overwhelming wave of light was crashing into her. Then the night sky lit up like day. A few seconds later, the powerful shockwaves caught up to her, propelling her to fly away from the explosion at greater speed.

While Nainai shot back through Telepathy, she sped up away from the crater without any delay.

Wandering Tune was assigned to Team Azure Dragon after the two organizations merged. His Talent was Portal, also known as Chaos Space, serial number 99, Time-Space-type.

As the name would suggest, he could create two portals and transport anything from one place to another. Of course, there was a limit to the size of objects he could transport.

With level 3 Portal, he could create gateways no greater than 300 meters apart, lasting only a minute. That wasn’t of much help.

Now that he had leveled up Portal to level 4 with former Qilin Guild’s Time-Space Rune Circuit, the Talent saw a substantial leap, and he could create portals 1000 meters apart and sustained them for 5 minutes.

And now, he brought everyone to the ground level with his portals.

In fact, he could’ve taken everyone to safety, but it was clear that the Ocean River Union had always planned to meet the enemies head-on.

The two-meter wide and three-meter tall portal stood on the charred wasteland, rippling with blue light.

Hum—hum—hum—

One by one, awakeners emerged from the portal. Leading the group was Elder Colorless, followed by Protector Amon, and then Canary, Jing Ke, Rewind, Lin Fu, Stubborn Weasel, Crimson Bee, Old Seven, Small Luo, and Veggie.

The entire Team Colorless moved out.

“Musashi!” Colorless shouted.

A middle-aged woman with wine-colored curls, thick makeup, overly pronounced curves, and an experienced air walked out of the crowd, lips curved into an alluring smile.

Arms widened, she declared in a bright, high-pitched voice, “Shooter Domain!”

Rumble.

A pink hemisphere of ten meters in diameter unfolded from Musashi, covering everyone like a red translucent bunker.

Shooter Domain, serial number 145, Support-type.

Within the domain, the range and damage of all ranged attacks made by awakeners were multiplied. Level 4 Shooter Domain tripled the attack range and doubled the damage.

Pew, pew, pew.

Old Seven raised his hands, shooting powerful air bullets from his ten carrot-thick fingers at the flying Nainai and Chen Ying.

Buffed by Shooter Domain, Old Seven felt like he wasn’t shooting a rifle, but an antiaircraft gun.
