Chapter 663: Chapter 490: In front of absolute power, everything is meaningless!_1 Chapter 663: Chapter 490: In front of absolute power, everything is meaningless!_1 “The task didn’t require a massacre, but rather to break through to the ‘Eternal Night’ ritual site as before, release the flame, and coordinate with Akasha’s actions…”

“Tch, but until now, it seems we still don’t know whom she’s planning to summon over.”

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Colin controlled the Wildfire Giant, which was fused with his will, advancing relentlessly.

Ignoring all traps and setups, he continued forward like a bulldozer.

Forces from other strongholds who had converged for Akasha looked at this scene and were instantly invigorated.

“Charge! Bring down that unrepentant ‘Dusk Sect’!”

“Charge! Charge! Keep up with the group!”

“Be careful, don’t get too close, and watch out for some remaining traps…”

A chorus of shouts filled the air as people from all directions came together, following the breach in the defense line torn open by Colin.

However, they dared not get too close.

Because the intense heat radiating from the Flame Giant also had a certain suppressive effect on the power within them.

But no matter what, the situation was much easier than they had initially imagined.

Even easy!

In their initial plan, just to break through the few outer layers of defense traps, they would have to pay a heavy toll, losing at least half of their number before being able to send the remaining half into the ‘Dusk Sect.’

Only then would they have a chance to see the figures of the opponents…

But now, at least for the moment, aside from a few who carelessly fell into some of the leftover traps, the rest were basically unscathed.

And as the frontline continued to advance, another fifteen minutes later, Colin saw even deeper into the ‘Eternal Night’ ritual.

The area was shrouded in thick darkness, pitch-black everywhere…

And from within that darkness, faint ceremonial chants of ‘Dusk Sect’ could be heard from the praying mortals.

“Oh lofty and distant serenity and Night…”

“We pray for the ‘Dusk’s’ miracle to manifest…”

“May Your… descend upon here…”

“…”

The almost inaudible whispers were now reaching Colin’s ears.

Millions of people stood in the darkness, encircling a monument of unknown origin, offering devout prayers.

With each chant, the invisible darkness grew a shade deeper…

“This is quite dangerous.”

Colin, looking ahead, felt that this act was akin to standing outside a damaged nuclear power plant, praying to it while simultaneously being exposed to escaping radiation…

This was tolerable for the humans here only because of their sufficient physical strength, otherwise, they would’ve been doomed long ago.

‘They must be descendants of some powerful beings from the past,’ he thought.

Colin’s thoughts flashed through his mind, and he stopped observing the interior of the Night and instead focused on the peripheral areas.

Around the ‘Eternal Night’ ritual, many people were also praying.

But the content of their prayers, which Colin overheard from a distance through some premonitions, seemed more focused on ‘relatives and friends’ health. Even if unsuccessful, they wished not to die, and so on…

Of course, some looked towards him from afar, eyeing the glow that lit half the sky with fear and dread.

And further out were numerous carriages and the like.

‘It seems like although people say after the ‘Eternal Night’ ritual they ascend to the ‘Night’s’ God Kingdom, in reality, most still hope to live,’ he contemplated.

As he pondered, Colin continued to advance.

At this moment, within this region, the only thing that made his heart palpitate was the pitch-dark center area.

Elsewhere, he didn’t see anything too menacing.

Even the followers with the power of ‘Night,’ the danger was just the power they possessed.

But it was to little effect and posed no threat.

As for most of the arrangements in the outer perimeters, the enormous iron arrows thrown from a distance, oddly shaped cannonballs, and the like.

Managing to strike his knee would be considered lucky…

All in all, it was meaningless.

“The overall level of combat here seems to be just a bit more than the early stages of World War II?”

Colin pursed his lips. After breaking through another layer of defense, he continued to advance, quickly covering a distance of several kilometers, when suddenly, an energy barrier, similar to an energy field, yet barely there, appeared before him.

At first glance, Colin immediately estimated that this barrier could withstand an attack from an ordinary official level six or even level seven Extraordinary Ones.

But for him…

“Boom!”

The Wildfire Giant lifted its foot and kicked out.

Waves of ripples spread in an instant…

The first strike did not break through?

“Interesting, it can distribute the force at a single point across the entire shield, spreading the attack uniformly…”

Colin’s eyebrows lifted, instantly realizing the situation, curious about this shield that seemingly defied common sense.

However, such things could be understood later…

Right now, the priority was the task at hand!

As Colin gathered his thoughts, he commanded the Flame Giant to raise its right hand. Energy was charged, and then it straightforwardly punched down on the barrier.

Following that, the entire barrier vibrated and then exploded into a sky full of black matter.

“Pity that all technology is meaningless in the face of absolute strength.”

“If not for interference, not even the barrier ‘Hunger’ personally released could have restrained me. How could this one, merely an indirect and primitive use of ‘Night’s’ power, stand a chance?”

Manipulating the embodiment of Wildfire, Colin continued forward.

And in this process, the giant body the Wildfire had transformed into was also gradually growing taller.
