Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 876: The Father's Kindness and the Son's Filial Piety

Two hundred years ago, the magic swordsman Sparta needed four artifacts + the assistance of a bunch of demons from the Holy Demon Island to seal Chaos. It can be seen that Sparta is not the mechanical deity that can destroy everything in an instant in most people's eyes, nor does he act alone. But with the outburst of humanity, he still defeated the Demon Emperor like Dante a thousand years later.

The central square of Red Tomb City was crowded with people watching the fun.

They looked in confusion at the mysterious tree-like object that had suddenly grown out of the ground a few days ago.

Some were taking photos, some were kneeling down to pray while reciting passages from the Bible, and some were discussing with a woman who looked like a lover what the tree-like object in front of them was.

The Demon Sword Cult took over here.

Red Tomb City is also within the garrison area of ​​the Demon Sword Cult.

Just looking at the huge tree, everyone felt shocked.

"Is this tree the magic tree from the demon world?"

Nero said, looking at the tree.

"Yes, according to what Captain Luther said, this demonic tree is called the Evil Tree - Reverse Kabbalah!"

"Captain Nero, what should we do?"

The magic swordsmen of the Magic Sword Cult asked.

They were no longer knights, but had been renamed magic swordsmen, a title that made them more comfortable.

At this moment, the first person to notice the change was a man who was watching the fun.

"Oh what's that?"

The man pointed upwards and said this, and the other people around him also turned their eyes to the direction of the man's finger.

Nero and the others did the same, looking there with their eyes slightly narrowed.

That part of the tree was wriggling violently.

The crowd watching the excitement began to make noise, and the squirming part suddenly collapsed, and the crowd was filled with screams and wails of surprise.

Some "tentacle-like" things appeared on the ground next to the tree. Judging from the cracks in the asphalt road, these tentacles should have grown from the ground.

The whole crowd looked at the tentacles in surprise, and then, one of the tentacle pierced someone in the crowd with its sharp tip, and miserable screams immediately broke out all around.

People ran away in panic, with the tentacles chasing them closely.

The movements of the Anti-Kabbalah Evil Tree became more violent. The tentacles that emerged from the ground were like living things, wreaking havoc among the crowd. Every wave was accompanied by screams and blood.

Seeing this, Nero immediately ordered: "Split up, one group will be responsible for evacuating the citizens, and the other group will follow me to fight these monsters!"

"Yes!"

The magic swordsmen responded quickly, and they attacked the tentacles with swords in well-trained formations.

As the sword flashed, several tentacles were accurately cut off, but more tentacles came like a tide, as if they could never be killed.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Red Tomb City, citizens were running in panic, looking for safe shelters.

The cries of children, the screams of women, and the anxious shouts of men mixed together to create a doomsday scene.

Members of the Demon Sword Cult shuttled among the crowd, doing their best to protect every innocent life, but even so, they could not completely stop the spread of the disaster.

Red Tomb City, a city that was once prosperous and peaceful, has now become a living hell.

As night fell, the evil tree of the Anti-Kabbalah in the central square was like a giant beast with bared fangs and claws, its branches twisted and spiraled, pointing straight to the sky, and its roots were deeply rooted in the ground, as if it was going to swallow up the entire city. This tree is not only a change in nature, but also a gateway to another dimension - the demon world. Every time it pulses, it is accompanied by the surge of magic power, which continuously injects the darkness and evil of the demon world into this world.

"We must find the roots of this tree and cut off its connection with the demon world!"

Nero shouted to the deputy captain beside him. The deputy captain nodded and quickly organized a team to explore the roots of the magic tree.

However, their road was not smooth.

As they approached the magic tree step by step, a large number of Empusa blood-sucking demons emerged from the darkness. These monsters had distorted shapes, their wings were torn like rags, and their sharp fangs flashed coldly in the moonlight.

There exists a mysterious symbiotic relationship between them and the evil tree of Anti-Kabbalah, using human blood as nourishment to continuously grow their own power.

"Ready to fight!"

At Nero's command, the team members immediately dispersed, each looking for an advantageous position, ready to face this fierce battle.

The battle broke out instantly, the air was filled with the collision of blood and magic, and every swing of the sword was accompanied by the wailing and fall of the demon.

But the number of Empusa's blood-sucking demons seems endless. They come one after another, vowing to tear the invaders into pieces.

This was the result of the Demon Sword Cult showing up in advance to protect and evacuate the citizens.

The evil tree of Anti-Kabbalah feeds on human blood, and this is information known in advance.

Just then, several helicopters streaked across the night sky. They were support troops sent from neighboring cities.

They threw a large number of flash bombs and smoke bombs, trying to interfere with the demons' vision and buy more time for the citizens to evacuate.

However, as Nero had expected, these modern weapons had little effect on the Anti-Kabbalah Evil Tree and the demons that lived with it.

The light from the flash bomb only temporarily illuminated the darkness, and the spread of the smoke bomb failed to stop the demon's attack.

The human army soon appeared, and tanks, armored vehicles, and soldiers engaged in a fierce battle with the Empusa demons.

At the beginning, they were able to gain a slight advantage due to their firepower, but as their ammunition ran out, it was their turn to be in trouble.

The Empusa demons began to fight back, and the armored vehicles could not stop their attacks, let alone the bulletproof vests.

The soldiers screamed and were dragged back into the magic tree by the Empusa demon.

As time went on, the members of the Devil Sword Cult gradually showed signs of fatigue. Their magic power was constantly depleting, and each swing of the sword became heavier.

However, the number of demons does not seem to show any signs of decreasing. Instead, they become more violent and powerful due to the constant nourishment of the magic tree.

Nero knew that if they continued like this, not only would they be unable to protect the citizens, but they themselves might also die.

The neighboring cities sent troops to deal with it. Not only that, the nearby cities will definitely send troops over.

But no matter what kind of modern weapons we have, it is impossible to eliminate all the demons in the city.

The soldiers sent to this city will eventually become living sacrifices to the evil tree of Anti-Kabbalah.

"We have to change our tactics!"

Nero shouted as he quickly gathered his team members to discuss a new battle plan.

After heated discussions, they decided to take a more radical approach - directly attacking the roots of the magic tree and destroying its connection point with the demon world.
