From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Although the three-headed serpent spoke the message of the summons through Azik's body, there is no other evidence that the summons could exist.

In other words, the information about the conscription was all given by the three-headed serpent demon god, and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, Lu Heng did not lower his guard against the three-headed serpent demon god.

Moreover, since he can alter Azik's memories, he can alter anyone's memories.

This means that all warriors returning from the astral merchant ships may have had their memories altered.

After Lu Heng finished talking with Azik, he made a phone call to Qi Jinghui:
“Conduct a comprehensive mental and memory examination on the warriors who disembark from the astral merchant ships.”

Qi Jinghui already knew that Azik's memories had been altered, so he immediately understood what was going on and agreed:

"Understood, we've made the arrangements to ensure nothing goes wrong. Is there a deeper reason behind this investigation?"

Lu Heng pondered for a moment before replying, "I sensed the aura of the abyss on one of the three-headed serpent's heads. So I feel this thing is not so simple, and we must remain vigilant."

Qi Jinghui: "Understood. We will check all the soldiers who participated in this battle to ensure that no pieces have been controlled."

After a brief pause, Lu Heng brought up another topic: "In addition, have the war zone prepare a batch of offensive weapons. After a period of rest, we will launch a large-scale offensive operation."

Qi Jinghui didn't ask what the plan was, and simply agreed: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

……

Regarding the information about the three-headed serpent demon, the human intelligence database conducted a comprehensive analysis of the collected information.

This is the first demon-level being that humanity has encountered, and it's alive.

Although it is said to be a three-headed serpent demon, it is impossible to determine how many heads this being actually has.

Many warriors saw the three-headed serpent demon on the astral merchant ship, but seeing only three heads does not mean there were only three heads.

Perhaps there are other snake heads in the dark world.

What worried Lu Heng even more was that when the black crystal snake head appeared on the three-headed snake, it emitted a very strong abyssal aura.

This is a very bad sign.

It possesses an abyssal aura, and under normal circumstances, it represents a demon god of the abyssal faction.

Like Salion, he will be called by the abyss, not by his allies.

This is also why Lu Heng suspected that the three-headed snake was lying.

As for why the three-headed hydra would eat Salion if it were part of the Abyss faction?
The question is simple.

There is no absolutely friendly relationship between demons.

There are conflicts among the demon races, but large-scale conflicts do not occur because of the Abyss's restraint.

As for the demon gods, even if they are both in the abyss faction, it is not surprising that they devour each other in order to compete for divine power.

For the Abyss, the demons devouring each other is not a bad thing.

From the perspective of the abyss, the mutual devouring of demon gods is like raising poisonous insects, which will eventually produce the strongest poisonous insect king.

Based on all available information, it is still impossible to determine the true allegiance of the three-headed serpent.

……

After a two-week rest, weapons and supplies were ready, and the Sykes civilization's antimatter bombs were also in place.

Lu Heng held an online meeting of the Swordholders to discuss a large-scale ongoing plan.

Lu Heng did not invite Azik to today's meeting, but instead invited Lismavi, the leader of the Astral Merchants.

The reason for this arrangement is simple: Azik is being controlled by a demon god of unknown allegiance.

If Azik attends the meeting, it means that all the information will be discovered by the three-headed serpent demon.

Therefore, after talking with Lismavi, Lu Heng decided to let Lismavi replace Azik at the Swordholders' Meeting.

After the holographic images of all the Swordholders appeared, Lu Heng coughed lightly and began to get to the main topic of the day:

"Following the strategic principle of advancing when the enemy retreats and attacking when the enemy is exhausted, Salion is dead, so we should press our advantage and destroy the Winged Demon World."

During the two weeks of rest, Lu Heng had privately discussed this attack plan with several people.

An attack on the Winged Demon World is certain.

Since the Winged Demon Clan's Demon God has been eliminated, the Winged Demon Clan will naturally follow in the footsteps of the Shadow Demons.

All resources of the entire Winged Demon world belong to the Swordholder.

This will be another extermination operation, targeting the abyssal races.

The agenda items discussed at the meeting were quickly approved. Even Salion is dead, so what else can stop this operation?

Of course, this attack will most likely encounter resistance.

The Abyss is very likely to summon demons from other worlds, but that's not a problem.

When the battlefield is on Earth, humanity has no way out but to risk everything and fight Salion to the bitter end.

Now that the target of the attack is the Winged Demon World, that's a different story.

If a demon god were to descend upon the Winged Demon World to stop this operation, that would be wonderful.

In the Abyss Battlefield, there are restrictions imposed by the laws of the world, and demigods represent the pinnacle of combat power.

The Swordholder Alliance already has four demigods, making them nearly invincible.

Even if an unexpected event occurs, and the Abyss summons a being so powerful that even the four Sword-Wielding Demigods cannot defeat it, they can still choose to retreat.

Therefore, this offensive plan was invincible from the very beginning.

After discussion, the proposal was quickly passed unanimously.

Next is the action plan.

Since there are no astral beacons, it is not possible to directly teleport to the Winged Demon world, but this is not a problem. Astral merchant ships can transport teams into the Winged Demon world.

Moreover, nuclear bombs and antimatter bombs can be transported there together.

……

After the plan was finalized, the Astral Merchant determined the coordinates of the Winged Demon World.

After the Swordholder Alliance assembled, they officially set off.

A kilometer-long astral merchant ship sails through the chaotic sea, riding the wind and waves at full speed.

Fifteen days later, they approached the outer space of the Winged Demon World.

The ship's ramming head broke through the space barrier, releasing nanobots.

Xavier Matrix's nanobots entered the Winged Demon world, began deploying mechanical factories, and simultaneously conducted reconnaissance of the Winged Demon world.

Azik remained in his cabin and did not participate in the preliminary work for this operation.

He knew he was being controlled by the three-headed serpent demon, so he didn't resist, and he didn't look at or listen to anything.

Until Lu Heng opened his cabin.

Although he didn't ask anything, Azik knew that the Astral Merchant Ships had been sailing all along, so he guessed that something must be going on.

When he saw Lu Heng open the door, he asked, "What are we going to do this time?"

Lu Heng replied, "Destroy the Winged Demon World."

Upon hearing this, Azik raised an eyebrow and immediately became excited: "That's exactly what we should do!"

He paused, then pressed on, "Where are we now? Have we started the operation?"

Lu Heng nodded slightly: "We have arrived in the outer space of the Winged Demon World and are deploying the nanomechanical factory. Once the deployment is almost complete, we can begin."

Azik then asked, "Can I go out now?" Lu Heng waved and replied, "Come on. Since we've already started, it doesn't matter if people find out."

The scale of this operation was so large that it was impossible to completely block the news.

So now that the operation has begun, there is no need to keep Azik locked up any longer.

Azik stepped out of the cabin, stretched, and said, "Finally, I can get out. I was almost suffocating. Do you think the three-headed serpent can see what I'm seeing now?"

Lu Heng wasn't entirely sure, but as long as there was a possibility, it had to be treated as if it were real.

……

After the nanomechanical factory was deployed, the plan to destroy the world officially began.

The astral merchant ship broke through the spatial barrier and officially entered the Winged Demon world.

This is a world with high gravity, roughly four times stronger than Earth.

This also means that the planet has a high mass, but its volume is not much larger.

This leads to the conclusion that the Winged Demon planet has a very high density.

The Winged Demon World is the one among all the abyssal worlds whose surface most resembles Blue Star, but only in terms of geological structure.

This planet has merged with the energy of the abyss, becoming a true abyssal world.

The rivers on the ground are filled with abyssal water, which is black and at first glance looks a bit like oil.

The demons soaked in the abyss river, absorbing its energy and drawing upon its waters.

Some unusual plants also grow on the ground, with strange shapes that make it difficult to distinguish whether they are plants, fungi, or immobile demonic creatures.

This planet has night and day. During the day, it is illuminated by the light of a star, but the brightness is not high.

Moreover, during the day, the demon race hides in caves to avoid the sunlight, and only goes out at night.

Although this planet is the world of winged demons, it is not home to only winged demons; there are other demons as well.

There are many kinds of demons, and their groups vary in size.

Some could not be determined to be either demons or creatures of the abyss.

The distinction between demons and abyssal creatures is not strict.

In most cases, the human classification system for abyssal species categorizes intelligent abyssal species as demons, while those without intelligence are classified as abyssal creatures, similar to wild beasts.

As for more reliable classifications, scientists in the field of abyss research are conducting studies and have put forward some preliminary classification schemes, but a unified discipline has not yet been formed.

The largest race on the Winged Demon planet is the Winged Demon race.

Because the planet's gravity is four times stronger than Earth's, it makes it much more difficult for the Winged Demons to fly in their native world.

Not every winged demon on this planet has the ability to fly.

Growing wings and flying in the sky is a way for the Winged Demons to prove their strength.

Winged demons that can fly belong to the upper echelons of their race, while those that cannot fly belong to the lower echelons.

The demon race has a very strict class division, with higher-ranking winged demons having absolute control over lower-ranking winged demons, even having the power of life and death over them.

Although the geological structure of this planet is very similar to that of Earth, you can feel the intense abyss atmosphere as soon as you step into it.

If humans were to inhabit this place, it wouldn't be long before mutations occurred.

Therefore, this world is one in which humans cannot survive.

……

While Xavier Matrix was deploying its nanobot factory, Lu Heng didn't waste any time; he had already familiarized himself with the information about this world.

This includes the distribution of the Winged Demons on the planet.

The largest winged demon race is naturally the tribe ruled by Salion.

The number of winged demons in the Salion tribe accounts for half of the entire tribe.

The remaining half were not those who did not want to join the Salion tribe, but rather those who were exiled by Salion.

The reason he was banished was because Salion had rivals among the Winged Demons before he became a Demon God.

After he killed his rival, the rival's tribe was naturally exiled.

During the deployment of the machinery factory, Lu Heng entered the Winged Demon Clan and conducted an investigation.

I discovered something interesting.

The news of Salion's death did not spread among the Winged Demons; only a few of the greater demons of Salion's tribe knew about it.

Perhaps fearing a rebellion from the exiled Winged Demon tribe, the Great Demon of the Salion tribe concealed the news of the Demon God's death.

This also made the entire Winged Demon Planet very peaceful, without any of the chaos that preceded the cataclysm.

……

Therefore, the Winged Demons remained unprepared when the Astral Merchants' warships appeared in the sky.

There were even swarms of winged demons that took to the skies, surrounded the astral warship, and prepared to seize the strange spaceship.

What happened next taught these winged demons a lesson they would never forget.

Azik pressed the Astral Pulse button, and a powerful astral pulse rippled out from around the ship, instantly enveloping all the Winged Demons within a kilometer radius.

sizzle...

After the pulse, all the winged demons surrounding the warship died instantly, both physically and mentally, falling from the sky and crashing to the ground, shattering into countless fragments.

Due to the strong gravity and thin air, these winged demons fell from the sky and shattered completely.

After this greeting was given, the Winged Demons were like birds startled awake.

Hordes of high-ranking winged demons flew out of their lair, but dared not approach the astral warship.

Azik immediately spun his warship forward, unleashing waves of astral pulses that wiped out every winged demon he touched.

Roar!
Several winged demon race archdemons roared angrily and attempted to use their skills to attack.

However, with demigods on board, the attacks of these great demons caused no damage whatsoever.

Starting from this day.

The Swordholder Alliance launched a massacre on the Winged Demon Planet, wiping out all demons and abyssal creatures without leaving a single one alive.

……

Xavier's Matrix of Nanomachines also began to unleash its power, with missile launch sites scattered across the planet relentlessly unleashing nuclear missiles.

Miniature nuclear missiles lock onto the Winged Demon for precise strikes.

In an instant, the entire planet was filled with slaughter and wailing.

Countless winged demons gathered before the demon lair of the Salion tribe, kneeling and praying, begging for the protection of the demon god.

Under normal circumstances, a world where demons exist is absolutely safe.

Protected by the laws of the world, demon gods have unrestricted divine power in their main world, but demon gods from outside the world are suppressed.

This results in no demon god attacking a world protected by a true god.

For countless ages, from the moment Salion became a demon god, this winged demon planet has been absolutely safe.

No matter how much internal strife there is, they will not be threatened by external life.

Therefore, after the Winged Demons were massacred, their first reaction was to seek the protection of their tribal demon god.

However, what they didn't know was that their demon god had already perished in the chaotic ocean of the astral plane. (End of Chapter)
