"The rest of them are all super geniuses on the Genius List. The next wave will be really good." In the City Hall, the people looked at the ranking on the list and all of them showed some excitement.
"Sure enough, 70% were eliminated in this round, leaving less than 5,000 people. The battle of Super Geniuses is about to unfold in the next round."
"Almost all the candidates have used their trump cards in this round. The next round is a more powerful Super-Civilization, which will be more difficult. Let's see what kind of cards will appear then?"
"This Sebastian is a bit interesting; the Infantry he built doesn't look like much, but surprisingly, he was also able to pass every round and has gone all the way here. Now his ranking has risen to within 3,000."
The major powers were discussing, and some people also became interested in Sebastian.
"Infantries, they are long-range attackers, and there are quite a lot of them, so they are more advantageous in the combat assessment."
"If I'm right, in the next round, there will most likely be a powerful individual that can't be beaten by numerical superiority." A planet master said.
"That should be the case." Another planet master nodded and said, "The Supernatural who appeared can still be beaten using numbers, however, it's not going to happen in the next round."
"I just wonder which Super-Civilization this examiner will come up with?"
"Let's wait and see. It'll start soon."
"They will be eliminated by more than half, even the top 100 may be eliminated."
"This round is not simple. If they survive, they can see the reward of a Super-Tier Academy admission, but if they can't survive, then they have no chance."
All of them were talking and the interest on their faces was getting stronger and stronger.
[ ===== ]
At the same time, Sebastian's expression was a little strange because he saw the Astra Militarum escorting the seriously injured female cultivator. They took her to the research room in the back and started a special experiment.
Several Scientists wearing thick glasses were staring at this seriously injured female cultivator, and there was a gleam of excitement in their eyes, as they knew what they wanted to do.
"It can't be..." Sebastian's eyes widened while he was watching what these Scientists did next.
"The 6th round of the combat assessment will start in one minute, please prepare yourself." The ghostly prompt sounded at this time.
Sebastian could only divert his attention by setting his sight on the planet passage. Each of the other candidates also sat upright and they were starting to get a little nervous. This was because it was the penultimate round, as long as they could pass this round, a Super-Tier Academy would accept them.
Passing the 6th round was 300 points, it was at least 50 points more compared to the candidates who were eliminated only in the last 5 rounds. Even if there were a few points less on the first day of the exam, it was enough to make up for it.
In previous years, this test was the one that opened up the score difference, as only the difference of one wave was 50 points. Even if it was Sebastian, who got a perfect score in all three subjects on the first day, he pulled away from Bailey by 23 points, but it didn't count for much now.
It was not just the candidates; the City Hall and many major figures from all over were concerned. This 6th round could be said to be the final sprint, so the tense and suffocating atmosphere gradually emerged.
One minute passed quickly and the planet passage was open again.
ROAR-!
No Supernatural species had come in yet, but everyone in the Astra Militarum heard a thunderous roar, it was like a fierce beast from the past.
Immediately after that, two extremely alarming auras spread in, making everyone shake slightly. This aura was more terrifying than all the previous Supernatural.
BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM...
The earth was trembling.
In the next moment, from the passage entrance, an unbelievably huge figure appeared through the passage. The figure gradually revealed itself and it was a behemoth that was 10 meters tall. At first glance, it was somewhat human-like, but it was a giant whose size was many times bigger. On the body of the giant, there was a ball of flame burning, but the giant didn't care about it.
BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM...
The giant strode in with its large feet and every step carried a powerful force. After the first giant walked in, another huge figure appeared from behind.
[ ===== ]
Looking at these giants, firstly there was a silence in the City Hall, and then..., there was an uproar.
"Giants? I can't believe it's the Giants."
"And it is also a Fire Giant? It is one of the more fearsome Giants."
"This year, this examiner is ruthless. Is he planning to wipe out all the candidates in this round?"
"It's not enough to destroy all of them, but... Most of them won't be able to pass this stage."
"It's going to be so interesting."
Everyone was talking loudly and the excited look on their faces was getting more noticeable. The Fire Giant was famous as it was a very powerful type of Super-Civilization, but it was also extremely difficult to develop.
[ ===== ]
"In this round, it is the Fire Giant. This is troublesome." In the conference room of Oakleaf School, the faces of everyone were not very good-looking.
"Lucy's Mage army and Sebastian's Infantry seem to have been curbed by the Fire Giant," Nelissen said with concern.
"What is on the Fire Giant is not ordinary fire, but an extremely rare fire that can burn up almost everything." Merlin's face was also a little gloomy as he said, "In addition, the Fire Giant is quite strong, so one mistake and I'm afraid they'll all be wiped out."
Seeing these giants with fire on their bodies, all of the candidates' faces turned pale.
[ ===== ]
On top of the city walls, the Astra Militarum also looked more nervous than ever.
BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM...
As the last Fire Giant stepped in, they grouped and there were 30 Giants in total. Their large size, coupled with the menacing aura, brought everyone unprecedented pressure. Even if they were a few kilometers away, it was still possible to feel the amazing aura of the Fire Giant.
But the Astra Militarum also went through 5 rounds of trials and tribulations, the minds of many Scientists and Generals were not that fragile and so calm was soon restored, and then they were observing these giants.
"The flames on these giants seem unusual, not quite like our unusual fire." One scientist was the first to make a discovery, "Being able to keep burning on the giant, plus it is stronger than the cultivator, so it can be determined that it is not an ordinary flame."
Many scientists agree on this.
"Hmm? They're moving."
Everyone saw that the Fire Giant at the forefront looked at the city wall for a few moments, then he opened his mouth towards the other giants in the back and said something. After that, giants began to take a step with their big feet, as they started running.
Their speed was not even close to the cultivators, but 30 tall giants running caused the earth to shake.
"Fire the Artillery, the others get ready to fire, try to stop these giants from reaching the 500 meters." The commanding General of this round turned out to be Allard.
It couldn't be helped, as he lost his fulfillment in the 1st round, because he was robbed of too many areas by Cross. This time, of course, he wanted to take it back.
BANG-!, BANG-!, BANG-!, BANG...
Hundreds of Artillery were fired and thousands of guns were fired at once. Countless munitions flew toward the Fire Giants. The reaction of these Fire Giants was extremely fast, as they immediately dodged left and right. But it was a relief that they were not as agile as the cultivator, if not, that would be tough.
BOOM-!
There was a loud boom as an Artillery Shell landed at the foot of a Fire Giant. There was a splash of dust, but this little bit of power was not harmful at all to them
Another Artillery Shell fell, in turn, it hit the chest of a Fire Giant.
Chi-!, Chi-!, Chi-!, Chi...
A powerful sound rang out.
The crowd of the Astra Militarum was surprised to see that the Shell was dissolved by the flame on the Fire Giant. That's right, there was no detonation, instead, it dissolved. It was not just the Artillery Shell, bullets that were fired, would also end up the same way as they were destroyed by the flames.
This was beyond the imagination of the scientists.
On top of the city walls, there was an eerie silence.
"Don't panic-!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Cross immediately shouted: "This level is more difficult than the previous one, but since it is supernatural, there must be a mechanism. Give it a serious analysis and find out the weaknesses of these flames."
Almost everyone could see that these Fire Giants were powerful because the munitions melted so fast. In case of fire, it could be detonated directly. This rendered the main weapon of the Astra Militarum instantly useless.
Scientists were a little surprised at first, but they were soon back to normal. All of them grabbed their binoculars and started checking carefully.
"Is the alloy able to absorb these flames?" One scientist asked.
"It should be able to, but the absorption is too small." Another scientist looked solemn.
After observing for a while, every scientist was unprecedentedly serious. It was fast and agile, its power was not small and it was also quite intelligent. But what's the problem? The most crucial thing was the dreadful flame. It could not be targeted so it was impossible to handle it.
Each Scientist and General turned their attention to Cross, as they were waiting for Cross's decision. To deal with these Fire Giants, conventional weapons were not going to work, so they needed to use another weapon.
Cross took a deep breath and turned around. He knelt on one knee toward Elizabeth, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I request the usage of the Heavy Gustav." ( Note: Just think of the German's Schwerer Gustav without the railway. )
This Heavy Gustav, in the past few years of the Astra Militarum, was the most fearsome weapon ever built, but because it was too powerful, they sealed it off after they tried it once when the manufacturing was completed.
The key to activate the Heavy Gustav was in the hands of three people.
One was Elizabeth.
Another was Rommel.
And there was also Cross.
All three keys need to be activated simultaneously, only then can they use it. It must also be agreed upon and activated by Elizabeth herself.
"Permission granted." Elizabeth also saw the power of these Fire Giants, so there was no hesitation and the decision was made immediately.
"Here is my key." Cross took out a key that was hidden on his body and just handed it over to Elizabeth.
Rommel on the side also knelt on one knee to hand over the key that he was keeping.
Elizabeth also took off the key from her neck that she had been keeping. With that, she shouted, "Custodes, be on guard."
To activate the Heavy Gustav, there were very strict rules. It could only be started by Elizabeth herself, so no one else could get close. The Adeptus Custodes were responsible for guarding her, so at this time, anyone who dared to come close would be killed directly.
Everyone who saw the Heavy Gustav experiment understood.
