The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Clearly, even if Wang Cang didn't say it, they were well aware of the situation.

Although Origin-level professionals are beings standing at the top of the plane.

But it's obvious that the thing that appeared in the sky possessed a power that a Source-level being couldn't possibly match; in fact, it far surpassed the power system of this plane.

Without exaggeration, this is the greatest catastrophe in the entire plane since it became digitized, bar none.

The horror of this catastrophe is greater than all the previous crises combined.

In the past, countries were able to quell those crises by relying on the joint efforts, sacrifices, resources, and cooperation of professionals from all countries.

But this time, it's really different.

Because no one can guarantee how this catastrophe will unfold, or what fate awaits everyone involved.

Even Origin-level power is useless, let alone for demigods like them?

Thinking of this, the demigods fell silent, their eyes flickering slightly.

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

"Alright, stop hanging your heads like defeated roosters."

"This isn't over yet!"

Seeing this, Wang Cang took a breath and broke the silence that was spreading across the square: "Since you're all here, you must all know what you're planning to do."

"This catastrophe is not only about our survival, but also about the survival of the entire plane!"

"Gentlemen, we can't let Gu boy carry this alone; we have to step up!"

"Whether this entire plane still exists after today depends on our trembling. None of us brothers can afford to let them down!"

Upon hearing this, the demigods did not respond, but the resolute expressions on their faces spoke volumes.

Looking at them, Wang Cang felt a significant fading of the tragic feeling he had felt earlier.

To be honest, when he made the decision to lead the charge, he was prepared for a one-way trip.

The aftershocks of that battle were a force capable of truly crushing people.

With the three of them blocking the way in front and protecting the people behind them to Gu Xu's side, he had no idea whether they would even be able to stand in the end.

But things are different now. Seven demigods, seven brothers!

When everyone works together, the confidence is different.

Even in death, I can have these brothers as companions on the road to the underworld.

As soon as the words were spoken, no one hesitated.

The entire headquarters square came alive.

Zhang Daoxuan and Li Weiguo turned around simultaneously, already issuing orders: "Notify the Azure Dragon Army and the God-Slaying Army to enter a state of combat readiness!"

"Each legion must draw half its manpower! Assemble within twenty minutes! Head north!"

"Logistics Department! Bring out all SS-rank and above buff items! Leave nothing behind!"

"Air Force formation, all take off!"

"The delivery-type enhanced warhead is fully loaded; proceed directly to the launch procedure!"

"Target: Commander Gu's coordinates!"

The orders were passed down one after another.

The once quiet command headquarters has been transformed into a high-speed war machine.

The communication channels were filled with a constant stream of responses. The underground armory was opened, and trucks loaded with items radiating powerful energy fluctuations drove out of the passageway.

On the plaza's helipad, the engines of one Sherman fighter jet after another roared to life, with gleaming warheads mounted beneath their wings.

That wasn't a conventional weapon; it was Sherlock's trump card, a powerful delivery device.

Meanwhile, across Shenxia, ​​on launchers for remote-controlled projectiles, one massive missile after another was being pushed into the launch tubes.

The surface of the projectile shimmered with light, and the tail nozzle emitted a pale golden glow.

Clearly, these are all long-range delivery vehicles for strategic-level buff items.

Once launched, the boost effect can be precisely delivered to a target tens of thousands of kilometers away in a very short time.

……

Above Longjing, seven figures soared into the sky almost simultaneously. Wang Cang took the lead, his body completely enveloped by demigod power, and his domain could be activated from his body.

With a push of both hands forward, a barrier formed in front of him, wide enough to cover everyone behind him.

"boom--!"

The moment the barrier was formed, the fighter jets behind them took advantage of the gap and scrambled into the air.

However, the moment the fighter jet took off...

The aftershocks of the battle from the north then hit us.

The sheer terror of that power made Wang Cang feel as if his internal organs had been gripped and twisted in that instant, causing a trickle of blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

But he did not hesitate for a moment.

"Keep up! Don't fall behind!"

His voice was hoarse, yet full of energy.

Behind them, the demigods also wore solemn expressions, pouring all their power into their domains to protect the group laden with [unclear text - possibly referring to a group of powerful beings].

The front or wing of the fighter jet equipped with a power-up item.

It roared off toward the northern horizon.

"The second wave is here!"

However, just a few seconds later, Helian Shu let out a low shout.

Before the words were even finished, another wave of shock swept in from the north.

This time the intensity was even greater than the last, and cracks appeared in Wang Cang's domain once again.

Wang Cang groaned, blood seeping from all seven orifices at the same time. He gritted his teeth and flattened the barrier again.

"Old Wang!"

Old Ge turned his head away, his face full of worry.

"Stop talking nonsense! Charge forward!"

Wang Cang wiped the blood from his face and roared back.

The pilots in the fighter jet formation behind were also having a tough time.

Although seven demigods blocked most of the impact in front, the spilled fragments continued to bombard the fuselage.

The numbers on the instrument panel inside the cockpit were jumping around like crazy, and all sorts of noises were mixed together, making one's head ache.

But not a single fighter jet turned around, and not a single pilot considered retreating.

Their hands were trembling as they gripped the joysticks, not out of fear, but because their bodies were being subjected to loads beyond their limits.

Their teeth were clenched so tightly they were grinding, and some people had blood seeping from the corners of their mouths.

But everyone's eyes were fixed on the front, on the battlefield where black and dark red intertwined on the northern horizon.

……

Meanwhile, in Longjing, at the Supreme Command Headquarters.

Inside the underground command center, dozens of giant screens formed a tactical projection that covered the entire wall.

The entire Sherlock Holmes map is displayed in real time.

Li Weiguo stood in the center of the command platform, his eyes fixed on the screen.

On the screen, thousands of launch nodes scattered throughout Shenxia are turning green one by one. Each green dot represents a set of strategic-level augmented missiles that have been loaded and are ready to launch.

One report after another flooded into his ears.

"Report! Launchers 1 through 7 on the East Coast are fully loaded and ready for deployment!"

"Western Mobile Launcher Formation, in position!"

"All underground well groups in the south, green light!"

"Sea-based platform, augmentation delivery ship, warheads loaded, ready!"

"Northern permafrost region, long-range delivery array, calibration complete!"
