Chapter 158 - Ambush in the Military Facility - Slaughter - Old Man's Arrival - Overwhelm

"Keep attacking!!!*

*RATATATATATAT*

"Use Mana bullets! Ordinary bullets can't penetrate that monster!"

"Deploy the tanks!!!"

"Use all force necessary!"

*BOOOOOM*

"Commander! The first line of defense ahs fallen!"

"Commander! Half of our force has already been wiped!"

"Are the air support still up?!"

"Yes commander! But they are not doing any damage!"

"Has the other military bases received our distress call?!"

"They should have!"

"Then where are they?!"

*WIIIEEEEEE*

"Where the hell is Chri--"

"Commande--"

That was the last thing that a commander and a soldier has said after a giant boulder crashed on their defense post. After a few moments, modified jets and helicopters started to fall from the sky while burning and in pieces. Modified tanks and jeep were also flung into the air and back to the military facility. Half of the building is already gone while more than half of the military forces has been destroyed, yet no reinforcements has still come to aid them

*CRASH*

"Guwaaack!!!"

Chris crashed and slammed on the other half of the military facility and completely destroyed the building to the ground. Smoke and dust spread around the area as the debris crashed into the ground

"Cough cough"

After a few seconds, the smoke and dust dissipated. It was then that Chris turned his head to the right and saw a lifeless body

The body belonged to Veronica as her eyes are already cold and blood dripped from her mouth. Her left arm is missing and an uncountable amount of nanostrings around her body on the ground

Chris had a look of sadness and hopelessness in his eyes. He almost shed a tear after seeing his secretary dead next to him. But of course, he had to move on because there is an enemy that is out of this world in their territory that can definitely destroy the world at this stage

Chris released an aura than made his body glow yellow. He was about to stand up when his surroundings suddenly became hot and the light became red

*VROOOOONGM*

Chris was engulfed by a red light and he disappeared as his silhouette dissipated from the light. The remaining debris and Veronica's body also disappeared and obliterated into nothingness

The red light came from the Atomic Mana Golem that Mycsy brought when Zxhst asked her to destroy the military base. This Atomic Mana Golem doesn't have an Atomic Core as its core, it has an Atomic Star as its core. So, this Mana Golem should be astronomically more powerful than the golems that Philip and the rest fought earlier while escaping from the chasm. This Star Atomic Mana Golem has a height of about 350 meters or 1150 feet

The golem shot a thick beam of red laser towards Chris after smacking him towards the half-destroyed military facility. The red laser also gouged out some earth and melted the rocks and metals around the building

The golem also raised its arms and more red laser shot through the sky, hitting every single air based military vehicles. The Star Atomic Mana Golem is unstoppable against this puny military facility, but not for Chris

Chris appeared in the sky while hovering. The right half of his body is glowing yellow while the other half is glowing blue

"Sunlight and Moonlight: Merge!"

Chris raised his hands and clasped them together. The yellow aura and blue aura around his body fused together but it didn't turned green. The colors of yellow and blue occasionally overlap each other and doesn't mix together

The world then started to darken and the surroundings became dimmer. The moon miraculously and mysteriously moved in front of the Sun amd caused a total solar eclipse. Chris was genuinely surprised because he can't move the moon on his own

His ability only lies to the power of the Sun and the moon, depending on the angle of their rise relative to Chris' position. The higher the celestial bodies are in the sky, the more powerful Chris becomes. Since the Sun is almost setting and the moon has risen, he tried to merge the power of the sunlight and moonlight and use it to defeat the Star Atomic Mana Golem

But since there is an eclipse, his power has drastically and exponentially increased. His yellow and blue aura merged and turned into dark brown color

Chris smirked and he felt unstoppable. He then raised his hand and his aura grew larger and large until the atmsophere felt murky

"Eclipselight!"

Chris brought down his hand towards the Mana Golem and a dark light was shot from the sky down to Myscy

The dark light came down on th Star Atomic Mana Golem like a pillar or a waterfall and engulfed the entire golem. The ground rumbled from the light and the air around the light was warping due to the intensity of pressure and heat

"Haaa!!!"

Chris increased the power of the Eclipselight and the ground caved in. The Star Atomic Mana Golem was standing still and it looked like it was being affected. The Eclipselight looked like a powerful orbital strike from space and it cracked the ground about several hundred meters long

But of course, since Mycsy is a Mana Avatar and the golem has an Atomic Star as its core, they are not affected. A sinister red light shone through the Eclipselight from the Atomic Star and rotated sinisterly. Chris narrowed his eyes and a chill went down his spine after he saw Mycsy's eyes shining through the dark Eclipselight

*VROOOOONGM*

Another red laser shot through the barrier of Eclipselight towards Chris and roared across the battlefield. Chris raised his hand and a dark light barrier formed in front of him. The red laser was split apart and diverted in different directions which cause more destruction. At this point, the entire military facility has been destroyed and Chris is the only one who's left, along with the cracked Black Box half-burried in the rubble

The Star Atomic Mana Golem then raised its arms and aimed it at Chris, releasing two more beams of red light. This caused Chris to get pushed back and eventually drilled into the ground

After a few seconds, the barrage of lasers stopped and Chris felt relieved. But it's not time to relax and he needed to stand up and recover, but he was too late

The area around him darkened considerably. He looked up and saw the Star Atomic Mana Golem falling down on him after it jumped

"C*ap"

*THOOOM*

The earth wobbled in a wave around the golem and Chris' body was smashed into the ground. Massive shockwaves were created that almost reached the city. Rocks and boulders flew into the air due to the impact and caused an earthquake around California

The golem lifted its foot and Chris is seen bleeding and bruised all over his body, even though the dark light around his body was supposed to protect him

Mycsy raised her hand and the golem took a step back. The golem then raised its arms and brought it down towards Chris and punched dhim repeatedly until the crust of the Earth under them has been shattered

"Eclipseshine!!!"

*SHING*

The Sun and the moon flashed and brought another wave of dark light into the golem. The area of effect is bigger, more effective, more forceful, and hotter. Chris didn't care anymore at what happens in the surroundings, as long as the threat in front of him is eliminated. He would also rather sacrifice himself than die in vain

The lifeless corpses that flew into the air evaporated from the Eclipseshine, the rubble, scraps, and destroyed vehicles were reduced to atoms, and the ground was being charred to crisp

Even though Eclipseshine is destructive on its own, Mycsy and the golem is still unhurt and unfazed. Chris is also surviving from the golem's barrage of punches, albeit barely, while the cracked Black Box is just chilling on the ground

"Eclipse Beam! Eclipsefall! Sunlight! Sunshine! Moonlight! Moonshine!"

Chris unleashed skills after skills after skills on Mycsy and the golem but none were effective

"GUWACKKK!!!"

The golem finally penetrated Chris' defense and stopped punching. The glint on the Atomic Star shone sinisterly and another beam of red light came down on Chris without a moment's rest

After the red laser dimmed down, the golem crouched down and picked up Chris. The golem stood back up and carried Chris next to its head, where Mycsy is standing

"Kwrou kwoudn't kwrave kwisturbed kwrour kwrome!" (You shouldn't have disturbed our home!)

"..."

"Kwris kwis kwrour kwault, human! Kwrow, kwall keof kwumanity krill kwuffer" (This is your fault, human! Now, all of humanity will suffer)

"..."

Chris wasn't talking not because he was dead or unconscious, it was because he was confused. He was also breathing heavily

"Look... I don't know what you're saying, but... I think that's a threat and I have to eliminate you here!"

Chris moved once again and placed his every strength and willpower in the one last strike. The golem is carrying him by his right arm and he pulled himself and touched the golem's hand with his left hand

"Enchantment: Solar Delay and Lunar Decay!"

A light emerged from his left hand and shone through the area. The light became bigger until it was blinding and filled the surroundings. The ability was meant to crumbled the golem into pieces by harnessing the combined power of the Sun and the moon

But, as the light dissipated, the golem was intact and nothing happened to it. Mycsy frowned from his last ditch effort of struggling. She then raised her hand again and commanded the golem

The golem threw Chris on the ground and created a deep trench as the earth and rubble flew to the sky

"Haaah..."

Chris let out a deep breath after he stopped drilling into the ground. His left arm is broken, his third and fourth left ribs are broken, parts of his skin are torn and lacerated, his right shoulder is dislocated, and he is bleeding profusely from all part sof his body. His right eye is also entirely red as it popped and he lost vision

"I failed the world... Maybe I should have listened to Philip... Now this monstrosity will roam the world and cause havoc... I hope someone can stop it..."

His vision started to get blurry as he looked in a distance at the golem. He saw a red glint coming from the golem's head and this is the source of the large beam of red light

Chris slowly closed his eyes and accepted his defeat and death. His only regret is that he never gauged the full power of his ability because his enemy is too strong. He gave a soft smile and thought that he lived a good life

He was contented... But unfortunately, this is his fate, his existence is obsolete and he wasn't recognized by Philip's control of fates. He didn't have a choice to change Chris' fate and that's why this is where he will meet his end

At this point, the total solar eclipse became red and turned bloody. This eclipse should be called the Lunar Eclipse or Blood Moon, but it's in front of the Sun, causing the two astronomical events to combine. The world also turned red, but that's the least of Chris' worries

The glint of red light from the Atomic Star core shone brighter and the flare rotated a few times. The beam of red light grew but it dissipated after a moment. Instead of releasing a thick beam of red light, the beam was condensed and focused in a single straight line

The thin red laser instantly shot from the golem's head and into Chris and penetrated his heart. The laser continued towards the crust and into the mantle before it dissipated

At this moment, Chris has passed as his heart was destroyed by the laser. His lifeless body slumped down on the ground

Mycsy lifted his head and looked down on Chris. The golem then turned around and left the premises. Mycsy noticed the world turning red, but she didn't mind it too much and trusted that Zxhst will take care of it

"Where are you going?"

An old voice reverberated around the area and shook the atmosphere. Mycsy and the golem slowly turned around and saw the domineering appearance of the Old Man

Mycsy felt dread and chill all over her body. She instinctively raised her hand towards the Old Man and the golem sent its fist towards him

*THUD*

*THOOOM*

A massive shockwave was created when the golem's fist abruptly stopped in the air. The Old Man blocked the golem's fist with his hand and he was unfazed by the raw strength and power of the golem. His fingers are crushing the surface of the golem's fist and cracks are being created

"A Mana golem that is powered by an Atomic Star... This is definitely a threat to the world and can send the humanity in extinction. Did you create this?"

The Old Man calmly asked Mycsy but his tone has a mix of anger in it

"KWRRRRRAAAAA!!!"

Mycsy didn't reply and just screamed with her gargled voice. The glint on the golem's head brightened and rotated before it released a thick beam of red light at the Old Man

But before the golem released its laser, the Old Man popped and shattered the entire arm of the golem that he's holding. The Mana-infused stone exploded, corroded, and collapsed from his strength when he clenched his hand

*VROOOOONGM*

With that, the golem then released the thick beam of red light towards the Old Man and the light crackled and fizzled towards him. The Old Man clenched his body and raised his right hand to block the laser. His eyes widened and have ferocity

The red laser was blocked by the Old Man and it was split apart into countless arcs. Though, the arcs are not blasting towards the ground, they are going around his hand and being sucked into his hand

After a while, the golem stopped releasing its red laser and the laser was sucked into the Old Man's hand, leaving a few arcs of red lightning and sparks

The Old Man then inhaled air into his nose after the he absorbed the red laser from the Atomic Star. The red light crawled across his arm, into his chest, and into his neck. The golem stumbled back and Mycsy became scared

The Old Man then looked down on Mycsy and the golem with fierce eyes and chin up. He then huffed through his nose and then abruptly extended his head towards the golem

*ZHIIIIINGGG*

The Old Man's eyes light up and white lasers with a hint of red blasted from his eyes towards the golem. The skin around his eyes formed orange cracks and the pressure from the laser blasts shook the heaven and the earth

The white lasers drilled on the golem's body and chipped away the surface of the Mana-infused stone. Larger cracks then formed around the whole body of the golem

"KWROOOOO!!"

Mycsy shouted in distress after seeing her best creation getting destroyed easily

The Old Man stopped blasting lasers from his eyes and instantly dashed in front of the golem's chest. He extended his hand and pointed his fingers on the chest. He then instantly folded his palm and punched the golem's chest. His fist caved in and completely shattered the golem's entire chest. The cracks grew bigger and collapsed the golem's whole body down

The Old Man then quickly dashed towards the crumbling head of the golem and grabbed the detached Atomic Star with his bare hands. He then grabbed Mycsy's meck with his other hand and gripped it with strength

"A being that was born from Mana? A vision of eliminating humanity because of your fear of human potential and possibly selfishness im sharing the Primordial Remnants. Self-proclaimed guardians of Primordial Particles and self-centered thinking of being the most powerful and important existence in the universe..."

"Kwrrrrwrrrrwrrrr!"

Mycsy was struggling to escape from the Old Man's clutches. She began to panic because he was spitting scary words that a child like her already began to have nightmares. Tears started to fall from from her eyes, which is unusual because she's a Mana Avatar

"Disgusting! Unfortunately, the moment I arrive here, you're already dead"

"Kwrrrr!!! ZXHST!!!!!"

*CRASH*

The Old Man squeezed his hand and shattered Mycsy into oblivion, leaving shards of her body and the Mana Blob that she's holding dissipating into the air. He then turned around and looked at Chris' corpse

"He finally bit the dust, huh? Knowing his personality, sooner or later, it will happen eventually... But it's still unfortunate, he had a powerful ability"

The Old Man slowly hovered down above Chris' body

"I'll bring his body to the mansion. I'm sure Philip will know what to do with your body"

The Old Man then picked up Chris' body and it hovered in the air. The Old Man doesn't dare touch and lift his body with physical means due to respect

Just then, a wave of Divine Energy surged throughout the world and whoever the divine being that showed their power seemed to be in a distress and didn't care anymore at hiding their power

The sky then began to cry blood and streaks of red light flew across the sky. He then felt it, the world is trembling and his heart began to thump

"I need to go to the mansion as soon as possible!"

The Old Man then dashed towards the direction of the mansion while carrying the Atomic Star on his right hand and controlling Chris' body on his left hand
