Chapter 76: Washington is destroyed! Ancient One takes action!"Gambler! Do you think high technology can kill gods?"
His hoarse voice was like sandpaper, and every word was soaked with rage. "Technology? I started playing with it thousands of years ago! Do you understand?"
The space and air seemed to be burned and distorted at the same time, and Egypt looked like it had been sunk by a huge meteorite and wiped off the map.
Apocalypse rested on the spot for a long time, and finally recovered 20% to 30% of his strength. Then, with an obsession with destruction, he stepped into the crumbling space crack.
His target: the heart of the United States of America!
Washington, DC!
He would make those foolish gamblers pay the ultimate price in blood and fire for their arrogance and betrayal!
The South Lawn of the White House in the evening in Washington, D.C.
The atmosphere of the grand open-air cocktail party is in full swing.
Champagne flowed, crystal glasses clinked, and the faces of politicians and celebrities were filled with the pride of controlling the world.
The president stood before the microphone and said passionately:
"Today, history will remember that it was America's courage and wisdom that led the world into a new era of order, one that we lead! Freedom!!"
Buzz——!!
The sky suddenly turned as dark as ink!
Dark clouds gathered, and a destructive pressure with an indescribable bloody and violent atmosphere enveloped the entire Washington!
A demon-like figure covered in scars and bathed in strange purple blood, as if crawling out from the deepest part of the blood pool in hell, tore through space and suddenly descended right above the South Lawn of the White House!
It's the apocalypse!
The noise below suddenly fell silent!
Then a heart-wrenching scream of terror broke out!
"Oh my God! What is that?!"
"Monster! It's the monster in the pyramid!!"
"Fire! All units, fire! Protect the President!!!"
In the chaos, the well-trained Presidential Secret Service showed its last trump card and pressed the emergency button on its wrist with a roar!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Around the White House lawn, several hidden ground armor plates popped open instantly, and six specially made sentinel robots, slightly smaller than the Cairo model but with thicker armor and painted with the Stars and Stripes and the presidential emblem, soared into the sky like guardian angels!
They are clearly the ultimate bodyguards who exist as the president's last line of defense!
These elite sentinel robots reacted faster, their engine nozzles bursting out dazzling blue light, and they instantly formed a steel wall to stand between Apocalypse and the frightened president below!
"Target: High-energy individual!"
"Threat Level: Extinction!"
"Execute Supreme Defense Protocol: Annihilation!"
A cold electronic synthesized sound emanated from the head of the leading sentry.
The six sentries moved in unison.
Energy barrier generated!
A light blue shield flashing with hexagonal energy instantly unfolded in front of them, covering the entire podium area!
At this moment, all the shoulder and arm weapon modules were unlocked, and all weapon systems such as high-energy lasers, micro-missiles, particle beams, and shock pulses were charged and locked within a few tenths of a second, weaving into a destructive firepower network with no blind spots, pouring down madly on Apocalypse floating in the air!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Sizzle! Whoosh!
Countless deadly energy beams and physical ammunition tore through the air like a steel storm, instantly engulfing Apocalypse's figure!
The flames of the explosion and the turbulent energy intertwined in the air, making a deafening roar!
The crowd below was knocked over by the shock wave, the glass was shattered, and the scene was a mess!
"Kill him! Kill him quickly!" Someone yelled hysterically behind the bunker, with a glimmer of strong hope in his eyes.
The president was desperately trying to retreat into the passage of the underground bunker of the White House as the Secret Service desperately dragged him away.
However, the smoke and energy turbulence in the airspace covered by firepower were suddenly forcibly dispelled by an invisible force!
Apocalypse reappeared. He knew the horror of the Sentinel robots and had to fight quickly.
If the Sentinel robot cluster arrived, he would have no chance to teach them a severe lesson.
With a wave of his hand, he immediately controlled the sand on the ground to tightly wrap around the sentry robot like a poisonous snake.
Upon seeing this, the sentry robots immediately changed their form and instantly ignited a raging fire in an attempt to burn away the sand that trapped them.
"Pathetic scraps of iron." Tianqi's hoarse voice was filled with contempt for the garbage. If there were hundreds of them, I'd be really scared...
After saying that, he raised his right hand, opened his five fingers slightly, and then clenched the air!
Buzz!!
The invisible, forced decomposition force field that acts on the most basic level of matter instantly spreads out with his palm as the center!
There was no violent explosion, no dazzling light, only a creepy melting!
The moment the six elite sentinel robots were elementalized, their supercomputing cores were exposed, and the moment the force field swept through them, they quickly decomposed like yellow sand raised under the scorching sun!
Then, these metals and wires collapsed like a sand tower, disintegrating into fine sand and dust that shone with a metallic luster...
The whole process is as fast as a fast-forwarded sand painting!
In just a few tens of seconds, six elite Sentinels, symbols of humanity's highest technological defenses, along with all the attacks they launched, were completely transformed into shimmering metal dust that drifted in the wind before everyone's eyes!
Dead silence! Absolute dead silence enveloped the White House!
Even those who were running away seemed to be under a spell that froze them, completely shattering the last glimmer of hope on their faces, leaving only fear and despair deep in their bones!
Apocalypse didn't even glance at the dissipating metal dust. In his eyes was only the cold will to carry out the final judgment on the betrayer.
He slowly raised his hands and pointed them again at the land beneath his feet, which symbolized the highest power and most arrogant ambition of mankind!
boom!!
A material disintegration force field that was more violent, more resolute, and more thorough than before suddenly exploded!
This white palace and the sturdy fortress dozens of meters underground shook violently like an earthquake!
Silently from the surface to the depths, what fortress, what weapon, what Army No. 1...
All of them turned into wisps of the most primitive, shimmering sand and drifted away with the wind.
The final look of terror in the president's eyes, along with his dream of power, turned into cosmic dust.
The heavy alloy door that was closing disappeared like a piece of paper...
"It's over!"
He knew it was over.
But he thought it was too simple!
...
The Washington Monument, the towering white obelisk was like being erased from the real picture by an eraser, disappearing inch by inch from the tip to the base, silently into the air.
Lincoln Memorial, Capitol Building, Pentagon...
At this moment, all the landmark buildings that carry history, power and ambition, all the bustling streets, the crowded traffic, all the lives running, crying and praying.
All the tanks and fighter planes that tried to fight back suffered the same complete annihilation under the ruthless sweep of the decomposition force field!
The entire core area of Washington, D.C. was "erased" from the map of the earth in just a few minutes!
Instead, there was an absolutely flat and smooth surface that was like an incomparably huge golden mirror, reflecting the desolate and tragic blood-red setting sun in the sky, and also foreshadowing the coming darkness.
Countless people were buried in the sand, and countless people watched in confusion as the bustling city turned into a desert in an instant.
Apocalypse was suspended above this newly created "death zone" that looked like a mirror of hell, with his own broken yet ferocious figure like an ancient beast reflected under his feet.
He exhausted his last bit of strength, and his body shook violently, like a candle in the wind, almost falling into the desert that he had created with his own hands.
But he forced himself to stay calm, and sneered with extreme contempt and weakness at the smooth golden desert that swallowed up everything.
The laughter echoed in the dead silence, full of ultimate mockery of the so-called "superpower" dream and its final struggle.
Right now...
"That's it, En Sabah Noor!"
The voice was calm, gentle, yet had undeniable penetrating power, resounding clearly in everyone's ears, as if it was ringing directly in the depths of their souls.
There was a flash of sparks in the space, and a bald figure walked out of the space.
