Chapter 278: Prometheus Erupts

The Wheel’s central area was s, which one had to occupy if they wished to inject it with energy It was a dangerous ga the Wheel left you exposed, and unable to employ any defensive counter-measures

When Hades fired the Hellfire Cannon, Bahamut had still been in the center At that point, it was too late to retreat and escape unscathed – Yu Honghu had taken too long

So how did he survive?

Chu Cheng was now simply a spectator He adjusted the cameras for full view, and focused it on the Wheel The center could be entered from the bottom, so he panned his caure dangling there

Chu Cheng finally ca a rey in to the Wheel

Theinstead on the outside When Cerberus’ attack was inco, Bahamut quickly cut connection with the Wheel, took its device and hid behind the indestructible walls of the structure

The whole thing had been a trap The Star Alliance never expected to fully control the Wheel in the beginning Now, they once again held the advantage

However, Proed froreen to a resplendent jade before their eyes It pulsed with vibrant energies that energized its surroundings Once the release of energy seemed to reach a critical mass, Coeus shot forward and collided with Starlord

The , he puzzled out the Star Alliance’s plan Late, but as he well knew even the best laid plans often went awry This was no exception, and they still had a chance The crux lay with Starlord hi Bahay reserves to perhaps half If they could defeat him before Bahamut finished with the Wheel, victory was still within reach

Coeus dashed forward like an ereen beam of radiation, invisible to the naked eye but for the vibrant color Like a terrible, living blade of wind, Coeus went for Starlord’s throat

Everything had happened so quickly: Starlord repelled Coeus, brought down Hades, then faced the opposing teaain It all passed in the space of a thunder bolt This tih, Starlord ithout his weapon It was still returning froued that there had been no obvious mistakes from either side as of yet Hades had made a quick and decisive determination based on the infore of the opening he saw Hesitationthe trap they’d lain for hi a chance He couldn’t help but yelp excitedly when he saw Lan Qing finally go in for the kill

“Get hi they had! If they really ended up losing to this powerful foe, at least they went doinging

Starlord was still unarh powerful and deadly, Starlord’s drawback was his attacks needed time to refresh

Deimos watched with narrowed eyes as Coeus pressed forward on the warpath The twinkling starlight that ehtly in response Starlord’s ure dimmed considerably, like it was not real

Slow-motion cameras were able to catch the scene The reason his suit seee to look upon was because it was actually in a state of extremely fast motion It would move back about a meter, and then leap forward the same, all in a fraction of a second The elbow of its sword ar ra explosion It’s force and ferocity brought everything to a screeching halt Time seemed to stop Zeus, Poseidon, the Knave and Windbreaker – all of the mushroom cloud

Without question, Prometheus and Deimos had connected The victor, however, was unclear The other combatants watched with baited breath Whoever stepped froht

A white figure went soaring froh the air, but as it did the glittering swipes of the Starblade could be seen behind it, warding off Coeus’ pursuit

Repelled! Prometheus’ strike hadn’t finished the Starlord, but put the oldclear in the ears of all onlookers “That, ladies and gentlemen, is why Deiuarantee that strike would have been easily avoided Now you can see that he spoke true, he’s a little sloith his response times and control Even still his wisdo are unparalleled It’s obvious why he’s touted as the best pilot alive”

Starlord’s chest plate was badly da after the collision It was really in re down one of Coeus’off in to the distance, Coeus was relatively still It re rapidly Between the smoke and speed at which it spun, no one was able to clearly see the daed to arrive at this point, and blocked Coeus’ advance in order to give Starlord ti na on heads – one blue, and one red At present, both had their onfire at Coeus
