Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 696: Fallen Body

"Fallen Body? Can you explain it in detail?"

The cannon fire in the distance continued, and the sound gradually grew louder, as if the high-altitude battlefield was expanding. A burning warship even slid over their heads, dragging brilliant tail flames and exploding in another place.

"There seem to be two forms. One is defense, the other is attack." Hubble scratched his head and said, "The defensive form is called the Immortal Temple, while the offensive form is berserk slaughter …"

Unlike Belmond's Black Wings, both forms of Hubble's Fallen Body had an obvious time limit. After being modified by his followers, Hubble's body was able to activate two forms of the Fallen Body according to his will. These were changes that were triggered at the cellular level. When activated in any form, Hubble's appearance and physique changed significantly, which was very different from Belmond's.

Under the defensive stance of the Temple of Immortality, Hubble's defensive capabilities, resistance to attacks, and various physical qualities would multiply by several folds. Moreover, it possessed the ability of kinetic energy oscillation and non-falling barriers. The kinetic energy oscillation generated an oscillation force field with Hubble as the origin, which would restrain the opponent's movements and also play a part in killing the opponent. The Undying Barrier increased Hubble's defensive capabilities once again, allowing him to transform into a mobile fortress on the battlefield.

As for the Berserk Slaughter attack mode, it reduced other basic qualities, only highlighting Hubble's strength. This was a mode that was completely inclined to attack. Under the slaughter mode, all of Hubble's attacks would be supplemented with the abilities of sharpness, tearing, pain, and so on. Even if Hubble accidentally touched them, slight injuries would become fatal. Apart from that, this form also possessed the ability to release killing intent.

When activated, the duration is reduced to 10 seconds no matter how long Hubble uses the form. Within these 10 seconds, Hubble's surroundings would continue to produce an unequal number of Berserk Spears. The Berserk Spear would madly and intensely throw at the target, killing all the enemies in front of Hubble!

As for the duration of the two forms, the Immortal Temple could last for 20 minutes, while the Berserk Slaughter only lasted for 8 minutes. Finally, the two forms of the Fallen Body cannot be activated at the same time. Moreover, after activating a form, no form could be activated for twelve hours.

After Hubble finished, he laughed dryly and said, "I killed that fellow with a berserk slaughter. At that time, he had already summoned a bloody warrior and stalled me for a few seconds. But I used killing intent to liberate him, and before the bloody warrior arrived, he was blasted into pieces by the Berserk Spear. That was really satisfying!"

Speaking of excitement, the Catus couldn't help but roar. Fortunately, the gunfire was loud at this moment. Otherwise, this roar might attract the bloody warriors. Thaley had been killed, and now the Bloody Warriors were not going around searching for Hubble, the murderer.

Alan couldn't help but be shocked. Transformation of followers would maximize the potential of their subjects and unearth their qualities. For example, Belmond's Black Devil Wings had increased his speed, movement, and other abilities. As for Hubble, there was no doubt that his qualities were strength and defense, which was why he had the ability to possess the Fallen Body.

Hubble, with his Fallen Body, could become a meat shield on the battlefield. If necessary, he could activate Slaughter Mode and become a tough human tank. Regardless of whether it was a group battle or a battle between experts, he would occupy an important position. Alan had even tailored several tactics for Hubble based on the Fallen Body's abilities, and he wished he could fly back to Heaven Planet with his wings inserted, immediately putting Hubble into combat.

Of course, he could only think about it now. He suppressed his excitement and said to Hubble, "According to what you said, with your current strength, you should be able to suppress the ordinary generals of the Federation. In that case, once you rise to the next level, you should be able to challenge Barbarian Hammer Vasark."

Hearing the name, Hubble's eyes shone with blood. "I'm looking forward to that time."

"There will be a day, big man. But before that, I hope we have a good time working together." Alan stretched out his fist and shook it.

Hubble snorted and clashed with his fists.

After finalizing the method of communication, the two sides separated in this forest. Allen and Belmore headed to the theatre assembly point, while Hubble remained in the canyon. Alan suggested that he could use the Bloody Warrior to practice, but he had to be careful not to be targeted by the large army. Otherwise, no matter how strong Hubble was, he could still be stacked to death with a sea of people tactic.

The journey to the assembly point went smoothly. After climbing a hill, Allen and the others met a group of federal soldiers. They were encircling a defensive fortress of the Catus, and Allen and the others immediately went into battle and quickly ended the battle. Afterwards, a second lieutenant brought them back to the assembly point and returned to the barracks outside the canyon by means of a personnel carrier. When they arrived at the camp outside the valley, it was still dark. The battle between the Federation and the outsiders had come to an end, but the sound of cannons could still be heard from time to time in the valley.

However, the dormitory area of the camp was very quiet, especially when dawn was approaching. Those who did not need to go to the battlefield were all in sweet dreams. When the two entered the dormitory area, the soldiers on guard were taking a nap.

Alan finally let out a sigh of relief when he returned to the barracks assigned to him by the hunting squad. The two quietly entered the barracks without waking anyone up. Belmond entered his room, but Alan came to Lucy's bedroom. The bedroom door was unlocked, and when it was pushed open a crack, a dim light burrowed out and cast a beam of light down the corridor. Alan took a light step and silently went to the bedside. Lucy was lying with her back to his side when the girl fell asleep. Her body curled up, one arm resting on the outside of the quilt, five slender fingers tightly grabbing the sheets, twisting the quilt into a ball of wrinkles.

Even in her sleep, Lucy still frowned, sweat dripping from the tip of her nose, and her breathing became short from time to time. After two days of absence, she looked thinner. Alan couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and before the room, he had intended to leave with a glance at Lucy. However, the anxiety, worry, and fear on the girl's face made Alan stay.

The dirty fingers gently pulled strands of hair from the side of Lucy's face and slid down her cheeks until they reached the girl's chin. Ellen bent down and kissed her gently on the side of her face. "I'm back."

Lucy twisted her eyes and finally woke up. She opened her slightly confused eyes, and after a moment, she could not help but cry out when she saw that it was Alan in front of her. She sat up and hugged Ellen tightly, then tears flowed out of her eyes. She had a lot to say to him, but she kept repeating, "I won't let you do it again!"

Alan understood what she meant and patted her pink back. "There won't be another time, I promise."

Lucy broke into tears and laughed.

Early the next morning, Alan heard the door of the barracks being knocked on. He struggled to sit up and found himself sleeping in Lucy's bed without taking off his armor. The girl wiped her eyes. She hugged Alan and fell asleep. Her hair and clothes were stained. Alan patted her butt and said, "Go take a shower."

Then he walked out of the room and came to the barracks hall. Alan opened the door. Outside the door stood a group of soldiers, and, Catherine.

"You guys go back first." Catherine waved her hand.

Her guard hesitated for a moment before turning around and leaving. Catherine walked in and looked up and down at Ellen. "Are you all right?"

"You can't die."

"This time the military owes you an explanation, we have found out, without authorization change your fighting content is major general Ke Meng. Colonel Kepper, who had been threatened by him, had finally explained everything. Marshal Capullo had already sent a harsh reprimand statement to the Gratts in the name of the military. He also asked the Grant family not to provide any protection for what Comon had done. The marshal's intention was to send Comon to the military court of the Federation. But now … "Catherine put a silver flower sword on the table in the hall." I don't think Comon will be able to go. Of course, no one knows that General Comon is dead yet. We only treat him as missing, but in the end, this matter can only be left unresolved. "So what Marshal means is that I will give you a satisfactory compensation."

"How did you find this sword?" Alan picked it up and confirmed that it was Comon's sword.

"After discovering that your signal source has disappeared, I personally went to the last place where the signal source displayed. It was like a great battle. Tell me, how did you kill Comon?"

'"How can you be sure I did it, General Catherine? I'm only a Level 19 soldier so far," Ellen said with a shrug.

"Don't tell me this is useless. There are many secrets hidden in your body. I've noticed them since the last time I was underground." Catherine narrowed her eyes.

"Alright, I do have a share in killing Ke Meng, but it's not my fault." Alan smiled bitterly. "I was targeted by a Catoan expert. Comon came up at this time, and there was a three-way fight. In the end, I used that kind of expert to kill Comon. But the whole process was dangerous. After all, he was a major general."

"Jia Tu expert? Who is it?"

Alan didn't want to reveal the information about the Origin Tool, so he had to drag Hubble into the water. Seeing Catherine ask further, he could only roughly describe it. Originally, she wanted to fool around, but when Catherine heard Hubble's axe with the name of the loser engraved on it, she suddenly said, "Hubble the Decapitator, he can be considered a decapitator amongst the Catus. However, this fellow is alone and never expected to encounter you. If it was him, he might have been able to defend against Comon, but …"

The major general narrowed his eyes and said, "Intuition tells me that there is something wrong with your words."

Alan shouted.
