Chapter 218: Chapter 218: A Desperate Fight!_1 Chapter 218: Chapter 218: A Desperate Fight!_1 “Don’t doubt it, the bullets bestowed with the power of the ‘Firebearer,’ once a certain number hits, can indeed ignite the ‘Bonfire’ and immediately activate some special ‘agreements,’ causing immense suppression to His existence. They can repel Him…”

“When combined with the lingering will of that waste from the sea, it’s enough to expel Him…”

“You don’t have much time left, neither do I…”

“Even for me, His arrival is just as lethal…”

“Our goal is the same…”

“I promise not to flee from this incident…”

“Release the shackles binding me, open those blocked agreements…”

“I will grant you the power to confront Him, free of charge…”

“…”

A seductive and extremely urgent voice emerged in Colin’s mind, laying out the pros and cons repeatedly with seemingly infinite sincerity.

For a moment, Colin was somewhat tempted.

Because he truly didn’t have many options, he was truly at a loss with that thing, and the other party’s tone sounded very sincere…

However, just then, a tremor shook overhead, and a massive dirt-yellow hand emanating yellow light broke through the ceiling, descending from above and pressing his head directly onto the ground.

The twilight glow from the giant hand brought an indescribable fatigue…

Many blood-red eyes seemed to succumb to weariness, drooping halfway, looking sleepy.

This was a “Twilight’s Child” over a hundred meters tall!

Clearly, after receiving the alert from the “Dawn’s Light Foundation” about their institute’s number four personnel’s death in battle and the message sent before dying, the three vice directors from the “Human Future Research Institute” did not hesitate to merge into a Level 7 “Twilight’s Child.”

For the sake of humanity, they were willing to pay any price, including themselves!

Only, under the glow of the Red Moon, the dirt-yellow giant hand also began to split…

“Chance!”

Colin clenched his teeth and decided to take a risk, rushing towards the body of the Ancient God, which seemed to be drowsily suppressed but was, in fact, quickly recovering.

A mass of flames condensed, protecting his body, as he charged in, aiming at the largest eye flickering red light on its chest.

Bang bang bang!

A round of six bullets hit their marks precisely.

“Three left!”

Colin quickly reloaded and took aim again, but saw those red eyes seemed to realize something. They no longer ignored his attacks; instead, each one turned its pupil and shot red light toward him.

The previous attacks had worked because He hadn’t really paid much attention, but the moment the other side deemed him a fly to be swatted, he wouldn’t even have a place to stand.

Three bullets laced with flame were scattered, but after flying less than a hundred meters, they were twisted and animated…

“Damn it!!”

Seeing the bullets intercepted, a chill went through Colin’s heart, and he felt somewhat desperate.

Meanwhile, he saw the eyes beneath the seven or eight cracks on the Ancient God’s body rotate, emitting red light, sweeping towards this area. Colin’s eyelids twitched, knowing that once touched by these red lights,

Even with the protection of the “Firebearer’s” power, he would explode instantly, leaving no margin for error.

But at this point, there was no chance to retreat…

Everything seemed to have reached a dead end.

“No, it’s not yet the time to be in utter despair, fight on!”

Remembering the status of the bullets halfway through their flight, Colin gritted his teeth and with a fierce expression decided to take one last gamble.

If there was no way back, then he might as well move forward!

The flames on the bullets within the red light, at least, could push through about a hundred meters, and all he needed was to close a hundred-meter gap for a chance.

However, with the speed those red lights were moving, he also didn’t have enough time to approach and finish off the eyes.

“No time, huh…”

In the blink of an eye, Colin’s eyes narrowed, his heart hardened, and with his left hand, he flipped out a golden card. His right hand, which held the gun, he tucked into his pocket as he surged forward.

“Time Stasis”!

An invisible force dragged everything into stasis at that moment, but there were two exceptions.

One was Colin, and the other was the mysterious red light that could animate objects.

However, that red light seemed to be somewhat affected, its speed slowing down by more than several times, which bought Colin some time and narrowed the final distance.

“Fifty meters! This is it!”

Colin’s footsteps halted, he reined in the flames enveloping his body, no longer using them as protection, but instead, he channeled them towards his right hand, fusing them into the revolver, and with finality, he activated another skill—

“Iai Slash (American Style)”!

Three shots, wrapped in surging flames and tinged with the red light in his eyes, struck deep into the massive eyeball.

It was at that moment.

The “lethal” effect activated!

Colin felt the blood-red light vanish in an instant, and the eyes on the body of the Ancient God closed one after another, descending into silence.

The writhing D-3 Area was restored. Organ after organ, floating midair, fell to the ground, lifeless.

At the same time, one vague thought after another in Colin’s mind also extinguished…

The crisis of physical collapse next to him disappeared.

However, before Colin could even breath a sigh of relief, another terrifying and high-ranking presence erupted in front of him. Startled, he looked up to see the body of the Ancient God that he thought should have died rise again.

Having lost the control of “Red Moon,” “Mother of the Sea” once again took command of her body.

In an instant, the air at the scene entered a state of extreme humidity…

Storms and thunders spread across the godly body.

The earthen-hued giant hand that had been suppressing Her began to dissipate, not because “Twilight’s Children” weren’t powerful enough, but because suppressing the power of “Red Moon” had extracted too great a toll.

It was then that “Mother of the Sea” slowly stood up, looking down upon Colin from her lofty height.

But this Ancient God didn’t have recognizable eyes.

Colin didn’t know if she was really looking at him…

Yet, at that very moment, feeling the dreadful oppressive force, he finally realized something. Even stripped of “Divinity” and fallen from godhood, a being of this level was still beyond his capability to contend with.

“Damn it, you really brought this thing back to life…”

Being able to move after the power of “Red Moon” had faded could only mean that this individual had truly been resurrected.

And moreover…

Looking at her gigantic body, Colin had no thoughts of struggle left.

He had already given his all just moments before and was utterly unable to resist now.

A few bolts of lightning from her could strike him dead…

However, what surprised Colin was that a dozen seconds had passed, and although he felt his lungs were filling with water and struggled to breathe, he hadn’t faced a direct attack from “Mother of the Sea.”

She stood there, only occasionally responding to the attacks from the two shelter personnel, while most of the time, she seemed to be staring at him.

No, it seemed like she wasn’t looking at me…

Colin was confused, but it was at this time that the sound of “Hunger” echoed in his ears again!

“You will regret this…”

What? Regret what?

Colin was perplexed, but before he could think further, he abruptly saw a terrifying bolt of lightning, thick as a house, come crashing down from above following the sound.
