Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 941 The Sanctuary of the End
Needless to say, their own "Heavenly Tribulation Fire" is a strategic weapon derived from "Phenolite," possessing the strongest destructive power. Even a fourth-ring [Ascension] psionicist can be killed in one strike.

The strategic weapon of the Pusta Empire, the "Sanctuary of the End," should not be underestimated. These barbarians may speak sweetly of a noble sacrifice, but in reality, it's nothing more than human sacrifice!
Their technology was outdated, and they couldn't create any real super technology, like the "wide-area weather control device" that manipulated the weather in the south or the "crustal wave device" that created artificial earthquakes in the valley. So they took a different approach and created the "End of the World Temple" by relying on the sea of ​​faith!
A launchpad that uses the souls of fanatics as ammunition!

Highly skilled psychics, such as those who possess consensus, balance, or truth, can perform actions known in some regions as "the power of words," where their words become law.

The "Sanctuary of the End" is like this; according to the inclinations of fanatical souls, it can create a certain degree of local rules. Just like the fanatical followers of one of the six great holy spirits, [Akkanaros the Eternal Flame], they naturally advocate war, praise courage, and glorify conquest.

Therefore, when the "Sanctuary of the End" is filled with a base number of fanatical souls of [Akkanaros the Eternal Burner] and thrown onto the battlefield, the Imperial armed forces will receive a series of bonuses, such as a significant boost to morale, a significant increase in mental resistance, and a temporary stroke of genius in combat skills.

Since the outbreak of the Second Seven Earth War, as a member of the "Forest" tribe who has always been on the front lines and has survived to this day, the man has witnessed it more than once!

The "Celestial Calamity" shattered many of the Empire's plans, while the "Hall of the End" repeatedly caused the Eastern Continent Republic to be ruthlessly pushed aside in some battlefields that should have been deadlocked.

Phosphorus fuel is limited, and so is the soul of the fanatic.

However, in the face of the Eastern Continent Republic and the Vanpusta Empire, which are engaged in all-out war, they can strive to become limitless.

The crimson hue, scorching the entire sky and permeating every inch of the field of vision, became ever more pronounced.

Yes, yes, that familiar feeling—scorching, boiling, parched—is none other than the fanatical soul of [Eternal Burning Arcanaros], once again refined and transformed by the "Sanctuary of the End" and thrown off!

The man stopped looking at the sky, started running again, and continued his journey.

Indeed, strategic-level weaponry—how terrifying, how astonishing! It truly is terrifying, truly astonishing.

But so what?

If just hearing a name could intimidate people, then everyone would be carrying a sedan chair, and there would be no need to fight. Everyone could just announce their names and compare who is the biggest, and the smallest one would just kowtow and kneel on the spot!

Strategic-level armed forces have things they can do. The "Forest" Department has things it can do.

Suddenly, my field of vision widened—

The space carrier "Suspended Mountain" and the Grand Commander of the [Holy Crown] suddenly stopped. The former could not be described as "sudden," as any movement of such a colossal construct would inevitably appear slow to ordinary people.

However, the latter suddenly stopped and quickly retreated 30 kilometers to a relatively controllable distance.

As the two strongest units on this battlefield, they were the first to notice this than anyone else.
What on earth came down?!

—It is not the "Heavenly Tribulation Fire".

—Not the "Sanctuary of the End." The world went dark.

Then it gradually became clear.

Just like the rising sun or the first rays of sunset, darkness was slowly dispelled, and a hazy, brilliant color rose unexpectedly. When you realized what had happened, you looked around and found that the world was now filled with only a rich, deep gold!

It was as if a colossal, powerful hand of a celestial being had raised an incredibly vast curtain, slowly descending upon the world.

The near appears larger and the far appears smaller; this is a principle that even children understand. Therefore, it is only natural that the crimson gold descending from the heavens beyond and growing larger in the pupils is so obvious.

But that's not how it works.
Many people have gradually realized that what initially seemed like a thick stroke of ink on a wall, like a thumb dipped in paint, is actually growing ever wider, like a curtain, not only getting closer and appearing larger as it gets, but also genuinely and continuously expanding.

Even the fiercest combatants felt a tangible pressure and involuntarily stopped fighting. They held their breath, as if even a slight whiff would disrupt the rhythm of the descending crimson gold.

Just how big is it? More than one person was stunned, and this thought arose inexplicably. The sky in their field of vision had been completely submerged, so what about beyond their field of vision?
Is it possible that the entire Terra has been swallowed up by this color?
Many people belatedly realized that this was definitely not a space-based weapon. They had never heard of any space-based weapon with such a massive scale; neither the "Celestial Calamity Fire" nor the "End of the Sanctuary" could match it. The answer seemed to have already emerged: it was "psychic energy," and a psychic.

The knight belonging to the [Holy Crown] Knights, or more precisely, the vice-commander, was a fourth-ring psionicist. His expression became incredibly solemn; he couldn't even bear to look at his opponent, who had been fighting just moments before. Fortunately, the other party was in the same boat, the commander's face filled with barely suppressed sorrow.

Although most soldiers on the ground have advanced technology and prosthetics, and can see clearly and far with artificial eyes, their intake of external information is still limited to "vision." The distance they can see determines the extent of their information intake.

But they are different.

As psychics undergo transformation, enhancement, and ultimately "sublimation," their ability to absorb information expands significantly. They are no longer limited to "vision" but also possess dimensions such as "perception" that are incomprehensible to ordinary people. They can obtain information from very, very distant places.

—Even at the end of "perception", the crimson gold still exists!
Still no end in sight!
Even by the most conservative estimate, it covers an area of ​​over a thousand kilometers. But a heartfelt, reasonless symptom made them realize that it was definitely much larger than the "most conservative estimate."

This area, which accommodates the elite forces of the Eastern Continent Republic and the Vanpusta Empire, and can hold fierce battles among fifth-ring psionicists, is a major battlefield spanning hundreds of kilometers, possessing both breadth and depth. Yet, before this curtain descending from the heavens, it has become a small depression that can be completely covered up.

The space carrier "Suspended Mountain" remained motionless, seemingly taken aback, realizing that it had suddenly transformed from a colossal structure into a toy to be played with in the palm of one's hand. The Grand Master of the [Holy Crown] Knights gripped his weapon tightly, unwilling to become a fish caught in a net for no reason.

Among the millions of reactions.

A familiar yet unfamiliar silhouette emerged from the endless crimson gold—

Without even looking, he first swung his sword at "Suspended Mountain" and the Grand Master!
