Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 946 All parties come together
Upon hearing these words, Octavia Zagaya lowered her sword, her psionic energy already at its peak flowing through her, just waiting for the moment to be truly released.

The title of Grand Duke of the Empire and Grand Master of the Holy Crown Knights represents the highest honor, immense power, and equally, a heavy responsibility.

As the person standing at the very top of the empire, she was well aware that every move she made as "Octavia Zagaya," and even a casual remark she made, could determine the fate of tens of thousands of people.

This is a double-edged sword without a handle. Some people don't care about using it, doing whatever they want without considering the consequences, but she does care.

Now, the Imperial army has broken through the defenses and won one victory after another. It is only one step away from taking over the Eastern Continent Republic. This is not her glory alone, but the glory of millions of Imperial people—the knights, soldiers, and priests who fight day and night on the front lines, the logistics workers who work hard in the rear, and the people in the Imperial homeland who contribute their share day and night.

This is the achievement of millions of imperial people, a great undertaking created by an unbreakable and devout faith.

Standing at the very front of them, how could she let go?
How could two mere third-stage [True Spirits] possibly make her back down?
Interrupted like this, Chakro paused for a moment, unable to continue the speech he had prepared. He put the communicator back in his pocket and slowly raised his fist.

Ryder Baloan let out a genuine sigh.

Compared to Octavia Sagaia beside him, whose fighting spirit was growing and who was poised to strike, this Grand Master of the [Abyss] and the Empire's Chief Knight appeared unusually calm.

It wasn't the kind of nonchalant talk about what to eat for breakfast tomorrow, nor was it the kind of indifference a professional boxer would show when a kindergarten child wanted to challenge him.

Just calm.

It seemed that the upcoming rare clash involving three top-tier fifth-ring cultivators didn't hold much significance for him. It was like someone being enthusiastically offered local delicacies by a stranger—he neither liked nor disliked them, politely accepted them, tasted them, and then offered polite praise.

Song Shi had dealt with many, many, many people, all sorts of people and non-people, but among all the people he had met, the other party's attitude was quite unique.

There was neither aversion to bloodshed nor the joy of personally fighting and mobilizing every inch of one's strength.

Song Shi estimated the spiritual energy; the True Spirit "Hongyuan Tianchi" brought a huge burden, but it also brought him an immense and overwhelming power. Overall,
At least in the short term, it can still maintain a certain level of combat strength.

Octavia Zagaya's psychic specialization is "Harmony," allowing her to freely harmonize all things and forces. She is the type that appears unremarkable at first glance, but whose depth becomes apparent the more you fight her.

The longer it drags on, the more troublesome it will become. So when we make our move, we need to try to kill Song Shi as quickly as possible. I'm assessing the success rate of [One Gap in the Sky]. The destructive power is definitely enough, but the opponent will certainly be on guard against this move.

When all your cards are on the table, it all comes down to execution in practice, and I have some experience in this area.
They can kill them.

The thought surfaced, then vanished abruptly, like a long sword sheathed, then suddenly drawn with a clang, flowing forth like a rainbow. Having made his decision, Song Shi's mind became clear, and his murderous intent erupted without restraint.

Seeing this, Ryder Balooon shook his head slightly and stopped sighing.

He raised the dark gold tower shield, nearly as tall as a person, its surface covered with shocking marks and damage. In contrast, his weapon was much lighter: a cross-shaped sword hanging at his waist, its scabbard plain and unadorned, without any patterns representing his status or sacred words.

One noteworthy issue is that this sword and shield pair is too classical, showing no trace of modern industrial processing. For example, the tower shield might be invisible to the average person, but Song Shi's exaggerated eyesight clearly reveals that it has flaws such as unevenness and irregular edges—or rather, these are unavoidable errors resulting from handcrafting.

It wasn't even the work of a high-level psionicist, whose level of precision could reach or even surpass that of an industrial lathe. It was more like an ordinary sword and shield crafted by an ordinary artisan.

But even with such an ordinary sword and shield, when Ryder Baloron raised the shield and drew the sword, Song Shi clearly felt the texture of "indestructible" and "unbreakable"!

The unreasonable "indestructible" and the unreasonable "unbreakable".

Unreasonable, truly the path of "truth"!
Chakro looked serious, ready to go all out. Before coming here, the two sides had already clashed several times. Such short exchanges were naturally inconclusive, but they were enough to judge the opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

This "Chief Knight" of the Empire is absolutely top-notch, and even under the most stringent standards, he deserves the title of "Top-Tier Psionicist".

Fortunately, the "rebel" Chaklo Vaughn is also on this list!
The air within a radius of thousands of miles suddenly froze, as if some indescribable force had enveloped it, causing everything in the world to freeze, turning into a solidified ice surface—

The ice surface is extremely thin and fragile.

And in the next instant, the ice surface was shattered with a roar!

Just break it.

It wasn't the four people present.

Another player has entered the fray!

Suddenly, a black dot appeared in the empty air. The dot rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a bottomless maw from which murky, viscous substances surged forth, instantly rewriting the structure of reality and dragging people into a completely different world.

Singularity Technology: "Based Reality Overwrite".

The Abyss, at a depth of 6, has descended upon this place.

Even a trace of it could break a person with a strong will, turning them into a monster. Yet, from this terrifying and desperate situation, one person emerged.

The newcomer wore a coat and had a simple and capable demeanor, and Song Shi was no stranger to him.

The Academic Council, the sacred authority of the Institute of Information Technology.

—"Observer of the World", Shiquanwei.

The second-stage [True Spirit], who is also the King of the Abyss, possesses the singularity technology "Based Reality Overwrite," and is indeed qualified to interfere. Even the third-stage [True Spirit] can be fought head-on, and won't be beaten to death like the former "Colossus" Bapus.

Moreover, in theory, the Knowledge Council and the Eastern Continent Republic are allies in a mutual defense relationship.

However, at this moment, Song Shi's gaze lingered on Shiquanwei for only a short while before shifting to the other end.

A gap appeared in the air.

A pale hand pressed down on the gap, and then the space was brutally torn open. Amidst the teeth-grinding tremor, a woman in a pure white uniform stepped indifferently through the opening.

The Council of Knowledge, the Holy Head of the Institute of Spiritual Power.

"The Corrector".

Ruan raft.
