Collide Gamer Chapter 322 – His will be done

… it stopped.

It stopped. The force to eradicate not just a city but to make the entirety of smaller countries completely uninhabitable, it just stopped. Energy condensed in its purest form, a small sun in the middle of the arena, now surrounded by a do of silver energy. How would one just stop this?

“There is no need to fear anything!” the deep voice bood through the stadium with relentless conviction; “As long as I am here!” John turned to see the form of everyone’s saviour. He was tall, imnsely so, muscle-bound arms reaching out of a white toga. His brown-haired head was crowned with an olive branch, and his middle-aged face burst with vitality and rage.

His left hand glowed with the silver of the full moon while his right was engulfed in the golden blazing of the sun. Sol and Luna also followed behind him, on their respective sides, all three of them working the magic that worked this miracle.

“Ah, the great enslaver himself arrives,” Alexej mocked, the fact that he still was unmoved despite this attempt not having worked whatsoever made John’s hairs stand on end below his clothes.

“You will be dealt with once this concludes,” Romulus dismissed it without a care.“Knights of Ro!” his voice once more echoed through the arena; “Do good by your oath, protect my people and protect .”

“Oh, the great emperor himself needs help, sh-“

“Shut – Up.” Maximillian said, pressing his forr friend’s air from his lungs by nailing him to the floor with his powers.

“He has a point,” Romulus’ voice no longer echoed through the arena; “I may be able to contain it for now, but while I neutralize the bomb, I will be defenceless.” Just as the emperor said that, the gap in the sky spewed forth a swarm of dots that quickly closed in.

It only took John a mont to realize what he was looking at. A small-scale invasion of elite forces, a hundred people, so flying, others simply diving down or getting carried. They wanted to push their montum while they could.

“So that was their plan,” John mumbled. They wanted to distract Romulus with a hydrogen bomb and then kill him while he was busy containing the explosion. The fact that this was the plan made John gulp.

What kind of being must be distracted with the strongest weapon science produced to date just to be defenceless. “We begin with the neutralization now; the quicker we get this over with, the quicker we can get back to protecting our city!” Romulus instructed his two sworn goddesses.

“”As you command, Rom!”” both of them answered simultaneously and began to increase the amount of energy they expended.

The barrier thickened as the explosion on the inside unfroze and played out. They were causing a perfectly controlled detonation while also localizing the radiation.

‘And they tell I will be on that level one day?’ John’s eyes went wide as the soldiers raining from the sky landed all around.

“I will take care of Alexej,” Maximillian told John. “Go make yourself useful… you are stronger than !” The king muttered the last words reluctantly but he uttered them all the sa.

“Thank you. Everyone, let’s go!” the elentals and Momo followed after him as he went towards his first target.

The pri objective was to get to Thana; she had walked at least fifty tres away and was now kneeling on the floor, still holding her head trying to shut out all noise from the outside. After he had her, he would help the knights.

Of course, he wasn’t allowed to just get to her in the middle of an invasion. One of the enemy soldiers landed right in front of him, and he wasn’t the only one. Landing everywhere and wearing the sa dark green, military uniform with the red star and stripes, they attacked whatever they saw first.

The one in front of John was no exception and went right at him. The man, whose features couldn’t have been of lesser importance to John right now, was fast. Not as fast as Sylph, but that didn’t matter with how close he was. He whirled around a mace that he pulled out of nowhere, aiming right at John’s head.

White hair and blade cut through the air. Aclysia appeared in the gap between them, blocking the strike with her arm, covered in all the shards of Nathalia’s scales she had consud. “I am sorry, I was in the kitchen,” Aclysia apologized as to why she didn’t use Defensive Teleportation sooner and then initiated her counterattack.

Eclys cut a deep trench through the man’s torso, from shoulder to hip. John half expected blood to spew forth, but instead the wound simply vanished. It didn’t heal, there were no signs of regeneration. No, the wound was simply gone. ‘Just like my Gar’s Body,’ John thought and was beyond confused.

The arena filled with yet more fighters as the Knights of Ro, the elite order of the Sons of Ro, went in to serve and protect as had been asked of them. John barely got an idea through Jack’s eyes. There was so much going on, and what happened in the arena was one of his lesser concerns. He set the course of the chanical sparrow over to the platform where Lydia, Rave and Nia should still have been.

He was still facing the nace in front of him, however. The healed man imdiately went back on the offensive, an attempt to Observe him failed. ‘Why does every fucking obstacle in my way have to wear protection against scrying magic?!’ he ntally complained.

“GET OUT OF MY WAY!” he scread and punched the communist soldier in the face with a straight left. The glove, made from the materials that had been created by the birth of a goddess and harder than most things in the known universe, crashed into his face, backed up with a proper boxing technique. “I need to get to Thana,” he growled as the man just shrugged off this hit again.

It was ti to get out the big guns. The shadows started burning with purple fire as the first fusion ford and Shadowfla was burning again. “Let the world drown in our fury,” spoke the Gar’s bloodhound and spread her fire to whatever enemy she could see.

While it was John’s goal to get to Thana, he couldn’t just ignore the situation at hand. All would be lost if Romulus died and that nuke went off anyway. ‘Just what kind of desperate must these people be to run such a suicide mission?’ John thought. ‘Or are they just that possessed?’

In the light of an ongoing atomic fission, he and his elentals battered the soldier in attacks. The attacks he returned would have been dangerous if he had been fighting just two or three of his group, but they were a combined force with months of team fighting experience.

There wasn’t any need for John to order them anymore, at least not in an on-going fight like this one. Everyone knew where to be, when to get out of the way so soone else could get an attack in. Shadowfla stopped her area efforts and threw a storm of dark flas at the enemy that was only reinforced by Sylph adding her wind to the mix.

The outgoing inferno turned the floor to glass with such intense, lightless heat that it should have turned the soldier to nothing but a charred corpse. Instead he jumped out once more completely unhard.

Sa couldn’t be said for his uniform, especially the top part which had been covered in cuts from the start of their fight. Now it was basically just charred tatters and gave free view to the man’s chest. There lay the answer to his apparent invincibility.
