"Talos, Empire’s Sword and Shield, awaken!"
Above the sea, numerous scholars gritted their teeth and decisively activated the magic array at the center of the black battleship.
Instantly, three black metallic battleships carrying the scholars twisted with a crunching sound, transforming into humanoid figures that stood like towering mountains amidst the surging sea.
They were a hundred meters tall, with golden array patterns flashing across various joints of their bodies, cast entirely from a mix of bronze and mountain copper.
If Luo En were here, he would instantly recognize these things.
——The Bronze Giants, Talos.
The prototypes of the Bronze Clan, their power second only to the twelve Mechanical Gods among the many metallic creations.
Years ago, during the decisive battle between Atlantis and Crete Island, it was King Minos who relied on such a Bronze Giant to fend off an entire deep-sea fleet.
And as time passed, the Mechanical God Clan came under Luo En’s command.
The design blueprint of the Bronze Giant Talos also found its way to the Mechanical God Clan and was mass-produced.
The three bronze giants in front, capable of autonomous transformation, freely switching between warship and advanced soldier forms, are the latest research achievement of the scholars and the Roman Pantheon.
"Deities are not so easily killed, continue the saturation bombardment!"
"——Command confirmed, executing annihilation operation!"
Stern responses echoed from the coastal waters, roaring like rolling thunder across the surroundings.
The three bronze giants gazed at the mountain that entombed Garna, slowly spreading their arms, as thousands of densely packed light patterns lit up one by one on their bronze-cast shells, resonating with each other.
Twelve varying-sized halos of light were successively constructed on the bronze giants’ arms, legs, neck, back, and chest.
Subsequently, the light-like ring-mouthed apertures, akin to gun turrets, automatically completed targeting and focusing.
"——Aether Constriction, Divine Power Loading!"
The mechanical voice resonated once more, and the twelve halos of light on the bronze giants reversed and sucked in.
Instantly, the Spirit Particles from the earth’s veins and Aether in the air condensed into a tangible magic power tide, surging wildly towards the three bronze giants like rivers rushing into the sea.
In a moment, the patterns beneath the bronze surface, akin to human veins, were filled with spiritual liquid concentrated from magic factor.
The surging [Divine Golden Blood] converged towards the chest cavity of the bronze giant, which served as the heart, and through the tuning and focusing of the twelve halos of light, it finally transformed into an intensely radiant stream of light, shooting out.
——Essence Fluid Cannon, fire!
In an instant, hundreds of brilliant light bands spanned the vast sea, continuously bombarding that mountain peak.
With successive explosions and roars, the entire mountain top was forcibly shaved flat, with dark red magma flowing everywhere.
But even so, the scholars, fully aware of the deities’ terrors, dared not relax:
"Maintain fire suppression, prepare for landing operation!"
The three bronze giants understood each other, relentlessly pouring firepower into the area that had become a deep pit, leaving no room for Garna to react, while simultaneously landing ashore, marching with heavy steps towards the Persian Camp.
Just as the distance between the sides was rapidly closing, a golden and a black streaming light shot out from the Persian Camp, streaking across the sky at lightning speed.
The first bronze giant in line had no time to react before it exploded in an instant, turning into a sky full of metallic fragments.
The scholars’ pupils contracted, all looking towards the Persian Camp above, their expressions changing drastically at the two figures cloaked in thunder and flames.
