From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

The battle on the metal planet lasted for more than twenty days.

The Swordholder Alliance cleared out millions of mechanical demons, emptying a large area.

Xavier Matrix's nanomachine factories have also been deployed, and they have begun using the planet's metals to manufacture technological weapons for use in the battle.

The entire planet was filled with the deafening roar of missile explosions.

The operation to detonate the planet's core is also ongoing.

On the twentieth day.

The Winged Demon God Salion did indeed appear in the outer space of the metal planet.

Su Muyu's perception transcended spatial barriers and detected Salion's figure.

The appearance of the Winged Demon race and Salion proves that Salion has once again been summoned by the Abyss.

However, Salion did not choose to land on the metal planet.

Clearly, the laws of this world also impose limitations on him.

Following the direction Su Muyu pointed, Lu Heng stood in front of the spatial barrier, facing Salion across an invisible spatial distance.

In fact, Lu Heng couldn't see anything.

Although he didn't have Su Muyu's strong perception, he could still sense a powerful being in the outer space in front of him through the mental power of a demigod.

The two sides were very close, but neither of them could cross this spatial barrier.

Lu Heng knew very well that although he had successfully repelled Salion in the Tidal Sea last time, the opponent was a true demon god. Under the same laws, a demigod could not possibly defeat a demon god.

Therefore, Lu Heng would not cross the spatial barrier to seek out unpleasantness.

However, if Salion dares to get involved, that's a different story.

These are the hidden rules that form the world's legal system.

Salion stood in outer space, watching everything that was happening on the metallic planet, watching the weak demigod who had stolen his divine power.

His anger almost burst from his eyes, but he suppressed it.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Your arrogance will make you pay the price sooner or later."

Lu Heng heard his words and calmly replied, "In the face of the abyss, hesitation is tantamount to waiting to die. Since the rules of the game are here, let's play by the rules. If you're not satisfied, you're welcome to come in and have a head-on confrontation. I'm waiting for you."

Lu Heng was absolutely certain that Salion would not descend.

While in the Tidal Sea, Salion took thirty-one days and used a storm to change the world's laws above the Tidal Sea before descending.

He would rather watch the demigods of the Blackscale Demon race die than arrive a second earlier.

This shows how much he resisted the suppression of the world's laws.

There are currently no storms in the skies above the metal planet, indicating that Salion could not possibly be descending.

Lu Heng is not worried that he will stir up a storm and change the laws of the metal planet.

Because this metallic planet is quite special.

Metals make up more than 80% of the planet's mass, resulting in very little water and air.

Without sufficient atmospheric quality, a storm powerful enough to alter the laws of the world simply cannot be generated.

Therefore, Salion can only descend in a manner restricted by the laws if it wishes to do so.

In that state, his divine power would be suppressed to its limit, and there would only be one outcome: he would get beaten up.

Salion was clearly not that foolish, so in this abyssal battlefield, there was only one thing he could do: stand in outer space and watch the metal planet be destroyed.

Aureanna also felt the pressure from the demon god and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Lu Heng raised his hand to his side and said, "No need. You guys continue to deal with the demons. I'll keep an eye on him. If he dares to reach in, I'll kill him."

Aureanna nodded in agreement, then presented her father's crown to Lu Heng with both hands.

This crown of the god-slayer is a treasure left behind by the Elf King Tarnas. After he used it last time, he gave it back to Alleanna.

Now that Salion has reappeared, he needs the power of the Godslayer to help him.

Having regained the power of the Godslayer, Lu Heng was even more composed in the face of Salion's oppressive aura.

Because Salion did not descend upon the metal planet, the mechanical demons on the planet were completely powerless to resist the offensive of the Alliance of Swordholders.

The recruited Winged Demons were the same; they were all shot down by missiles launched from the Xavier Nanomachines' positions.

Time passed slowly.

Day 25.

The Sykes civilization's burrowing robot project was one-third complete when the mechanical demons launched a fierce counterattack.

Under attack from Xavier missile sites, these mechanical demons were blown to pieces hundreds of kilometers away.

The mechanical demons that charge into the Swordholder's defensive perimeter will then be met with attacks from magical skills.

After a counterattack, all that was left were mechanical fragments scattered all over the ground.

Day 28.

Xavier Matrix-controlled nanobots began to clear the battlefield, taking the core of the mechanical demon back for research.

The mechanical demon's form piqued his interest.

Day 35.

Sykes's drilling robot has completed two-thirds of the drilling task.

After the fierce battle of the past few days, the mechanical demons have found it difficult to mount an effective counterattack.

The winged demons summoned by the abyss have also been eliminated.

Only the Winged Demon God Salion is still spying from outer space.

Su Muyu could still occasionally sense Salion's presence, but the frequency of his appearances was decreasing.

Every time Salion appeared in outer space, she would notify Lu Heng immediately.

Lu Heng stood inside the metal planetary space, blocking Salion's path.

For more than ten days in a row, Salion did not try to reach in.

Lu Heng knew very well that it was the restrictions of the world's laws, coupled with the power of the Godslayer, that posed a threat to Salion.

This does not mean that I alone pose a threat to Salion.

Moreover, the two consecutive incidents have clearly angered this demon god.

If he gets the chance, he will definitely kill me in the most cruel way.

Therefore, the more this is the case, the more cautious we need to be, and we must not give Salion any chance.

Day 45.

The Sykes civilization's burrowing robots have completed their work.

Strategic-level antimatter bombs capable of detonating the Earth's core are also ready.

These antimatter bombs will penetrate the borehole, enter the magma layer, then pass through the magma layer, reach the Earth's core, and explode, detonating the metallic planet.

Once the explosion begins, the planet will face apocalyptic catastrophe.

Therefore, the warriors of the Swordholder Alliance need to evacuate before then.

Day 46.

everything's ready.

Lu Heng opened the star gate and teleported the Swordholder Alliance team away.

The human, elf, siren, dark iron dwarf, Bancel, and astral merchant groups all withdrew.

Xavier's nanobots are an exception; they will not be evacuated.

Because Xavier robots are deployed only after arriving in the target world, they use the resources of the target world.

Xavier's Matrix only consumes computing power, while computers made by nanobots can also generate computing power.

Therefore, for Xavier Matrix, the nanobot sites he deployed on the metal planet only required initial investment, with almost no subsequent consumption.

His nanobots were also consumables, and withdrawing them would be troublesome. Therefore, the teams from all six civilizations in the Swordholders withdrew, but the nanobots continued to execute their attack programs methodically, launching missiles to attack the surging mechanical demons.

After seeing everyone else off, Lu Heng remained where he was, looking up at an empty spot in the sky.

Although invisible to the naked eye, Lu Heng knew that Salion was there through the mental perception of a demigod.

Lu Heng looked at him through the spatial barrier and chuckled, "You've been watching for over twenty days. Since you don't dare to come in, what's the point of staying here?"

Salion was furious, but he was completely helpless.

At this moment, Lu Heng was radiating the light of a god-slayer, a power that even demons would fear.

Salion had learned his lesson in the Tidal Sea, so until now he had not tried to interfere with the affairs of the metal planet.

After the Swordholder Alliance's team withdrew, the antimatter missile entered its launch countdown.

Ten, nine, eight...

Lu Heng spoke again: "You have seven seconds left, why don't you give it a try?"

The more this was the case, the more Salion felt it was a trap.

Moreover, since the antimatter missiles are deployed in different locations, even if he has the ability to destroy them, he cannot destroy them all.

Moreover, the power of an antimatter bomb could harm him.

The reason he was severely injured in the Tidal Sea last time was because the explosion of the antimatter bomb penetrated his defenses.

If it were a regular nuclear bomb, he wouldn't need to be afraid at all; his physical body could withstand it.

Antimatter bombs, however, won't work.

Because his physical body still belongs to matter and is subject to the rules of matter.

This means that once the matter in his body comes into contact with antimatter, it will become part of the bomb, annihilate along with the antimatter, and release terrifying energy.

This is why antimatter can harm the demon god.

A simple nuclear explosion would cause minimal damage to the demon god if its physical body withstood it.

Lu Heng continued counting down: "Three, two, one!"

The countdown ends, the antimatter missile is launched, enters the drilling well, and enters the magma layer.

Lu Heng did not withdraw, but continued to confront Salion.

With Salion's divine power, given enough time, he still has the ability to stop this nuclear explosion.

Therefore, Lu Heng needs to hold on until the very last second.

This is why Salion did not retreat.

He sneered, "If you don't leave now, you might not be able to escape. I only need to restrain you for a moment, and you will die in this explosion."

Lu Heng was unsure whether the other party had the capability.

It's now a psychological battle.

There are fifteen seconds left before the antimatter bomb explodes.

Xavier Matrix's voice was counting down the time to the explosion in my ears.

If it really comes to the last second and Salion intervenes to block spatial teleportation, leaving Lu Heng on the metal planet, he will indeed be caught in the cataclysmic explosion.

Lu Heng remained calm and said indifferently, "Then you can give it a try."

As he spoke, Lu Heng raised his hand and released three clones, making a total of four demigod bodies, which began to spread out in all directions.

When Salion saw the clone skill again, the anger in his eyes almost burst out.

If it weren't for this clone skill, he would have already crushed this damned ant in front of him back in the Tidal Sea.

Lu Heng raised his head, smiled at him, and asked, "Which one are you planning to blockade?"

This time, Salian did not respond.

The countdown to the explosion continued.

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

With three seconds left in the countdown, Lu Heng suddenly frowned, sensing that something was wrong with the countdown.

The most accurate time anchor is the atomic clock.

The intervals are fixed, with each second being a fixed number.

People have their own perception of the passage of time, but most ordinary people are not sensitive to how fast or slow time goes.

Demigods are more sensitive to time.

Lu Heng sensed something was wrong because there was a slight difference between the rate at which the Divine Source Armor consumed its source energy and the rate at which the countdown was running.

That's right, maintaining the Divine Source Armor requires consuming source energy.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Heng would not pay attention to the energy consumption of the Divine Source Armor, because the consumption is not large and is necessary.

Suddenly, I realized the countdown speed was off, so I immediately compared it with the energy consumption rate.

Finally, we discovered something was wrong: the countdown was slowing down by about 10%.

In other words, if 10 seconds have passed in the countdown, 11 seconds have actually passed in real time.

So, when the countdown has passed 13.5 seconds, 15 seconds of real time will have elapsed.

In other words, the antimatter bomb will explode when the countdown reaches the last 1.5 seconds.

The countdown is now down to the last two seconds.

Without a doubt, Salion tampered with the countdown.

It must be a mental ability that replaced Xavier's Matrix countdown with an illusion.

Lu Heng had already noticed this, and when the countdown to "2" sounded in his ears, he immediately raised his hand to gather the power of the Star Gate.

At that moment, Salion stretched out his arm, tore open the spatial barrier, and grabbed at Lu Heng to stop him from teleporting.

Lu Heng smirked and said directly, "Professor, postpone the explosion by three seconds."

Upon hearing this, Salion's arm froze in mid-air.

While the countdown to the explosion is a countdown, there is never a rule that changes cannot be made during the countdown.

At that moment, Salion's arm had already reached in.

At the same time, Lu Heng drew the Aurora Blade from the void.

Salion's arm froze for a moment before he realized it was too late to pull it back.

He steeled his resolve, grabbed Lu Heng with his hand, and crushed him.

Lu Heng's main body and clone exchanged spaces, unleashing their full combat power and infusing it with [Divine Judgment] and [Godslayer Power] to unleash a Wind Dragon Slash.

The sword light slashed down from the rift, and Salion's arm was severed.

what! ! !
The piercing roars and howls echoed in outer space and above the planets.

The Winged Demon God Salion lost an arm once again.

He tried to reach out his other hand to retrieve his severed arm, but Lu Heng's sword was already poised to strike a second time.

If he dares to stick his arm in, then cut off another one of his arms.

Salion was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

This time, the metal planet has not undergone any changes to the world's laws. His arm, which reaches into the inner space, will be restricted by the laws, and his divine power will be suppressed. It will be unable to withstand the attacks of the god-slayer and the divine judgment.

Therefore, after his fingers pierced the spatial barrier, he forcibly withdrew his hand.

Seeing that he had stopped moving, Lu Heng didn't waste any time and said again, "Professor, start the countdown again for ten seconds."

After saying that, Lu Heng swooped down and thrust his sword into Salion's severed arm, beginning to plunder divine power.

Salion watched as the divine power of his severed arm was gradually taken away, and his eyes widened in fury.

As a demon god, he had never felt so humiliated, being toyed with like this by a demigod.

He swore he would skin this demigod alive, tear him limb from limb, and chew him to pieces, but not now. Right now, he could only watch helplessly as this damned ant drained his divine power. (End of Chapter)
