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

midair.

Richard slowly descended, hovering not far from the ground, looking down at Chen Zhenyuan and the others lying in pools of blood.

He flicked the bits of debris off his fist, his expression utterly bored.

"I thought that by making such a big show of things, you could at least give me a little warm-up."

As he spoke, Richard twisted his neck, his tone as indifferent as if he were stepping on a nest of ants: "I didn't expect you to not even last half a minute."

"Alright, stop wasting time on these good-for-nothings."

Richard turned around, his gaze sweeping over the ravaged coastline toward the heart of Sheikha, a greedy glint rekindling in his eyes: "Ramos, take two men and chop off the heads of these cripples, then hang them on the defensive line."

"The rest of you, come with me to where they hid their things!"

"Dig out the treasure!"

"Yes, boss!"

Ramos grinned maliciously as he picked up the blood-dripping Star Shattering Axe and walked toward Chen Zhenyuan, who lay lying in the pile of rubble. The axe dragged a groove through the rough rocks.

Chen Zhenyuan gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up.

Even with most of his bones broken, he still struggled to straighten his back and stared coldly at the approaching burly man.

The Night's Watch of Sherlock never had the custom of lying down to die; even in death, they had to point their blades at the enemy.

Just as Chen Zhenyuan was about to self-destruct his source to severely injure these guys...

Just as Ramos grinned maliciously and raised his giant axe, preparing to completely sever Chen Zhenyuan's head...

The distant blue sky, which had been shrouded in dark clouds, was suddenly and without warning torn apart.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a dull, teeth-grinding roar, the air in the entire East China Sea suddenly dropped, and the giant waves that were originally rolling on the sea surface seemed to be flattened by a pair of invisible hands.

Then, several enormous, silver-gray warships, resembling floating mountain ranges, slowly emerged from the depths of the broken clouds.

Looking around, the warship's armor plating was covered with shocking charred wounds, clearly indicating that it had just experienced a fierce and bloody battle.

Even though they were battered and bruised, the overwhelming pressure of the Ashmerkham regular army still pressed down, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

Ramos's half-raised Starshattering Axe froze in mid-air.

The heavy gravitational field pressed down through the air, making his heart leap.

He turned his neck with some difficulty and looked up at the massive steel structure that almost blocked out half the sky.

His eye twitched uncontrollably.

Chen Zhenyuan, who was about to detonate his source energy amidst the pile of rubble on the shore, suddenly stopped. His pupils contracted sharply as he looked at the enormous creature descending from the sky.

"This...this is..."

Old Ge's breathing quickened, and his lips turned completely bloodless.

The Sherlock warriors on the ground, Yamamoto Furukawa lying paralyzed on the beach, and several professionals from the South Indian Kingdom.

At this moment, everything fell silent.

A few dozen Star Hunters had already shattered almost all of Earth's top combat power.

Now, these interstellar behemoths, whose size is beyond estimation, are flying directly down from the sky...

How could anyone possibly withstand that?!

In an instant, despair, like ice water, drenched everyone's limbs and bones.

After all, to everyone in the Blue Star plane, this was clearly the arrival of the enemy's main fleet.

However, the expressions on the faces of the Star Hunters in mid-air were a hundred times more interesting than those of the Divine Summer Guards on the ground.

Richard was as if struck by lightning; the dark aura around him nearly collapsed on its own amidst the violent tremors.

He stared at the faintly visible Libra emblem on the flagship's flank, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, and then he screamed incoherently:

"Ashmerghind...the Libra Nexus Fleet?!"

"It's over! It's the Libra Nexus fleet!!!"

Ramos nearly dropped the giant axe from his hand and it smashed into his foot.

In an instant, these star pirates, who usually acted lawlessly in various star systems, were completely taken aback when they saw the silver-gray paint job.

The murderous aura that had enveloped him vanished, leaving only fear.

Are you kidding me!

Those are the regular army of the Divine Court!

Faced with an attack from a regular warship, these dozens of lone hunters had no warship cover.

It's no different from running naked in a blizzard!

Meanwhile, at the edge of the deck of the Libra Hub flagship.

Anya's hands hung naturally at her sides.

Although her Valkyrie armor was mostly damaged, the governor's aura emanating from her body remained undiminished.

The strong winds high above scattered the stray hairs on her forehead.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze quickly sweeping across the battlefield below.

The dilapidated coastal defenses, the collapsed fortifications, and the local soldiers lying haphazardly in pools of blood.

And... the military flag, fluttering in the gale, tattered yet still standing tall.

Beneath that flag, dozens of figures, their bodies shimmering with mixed energy, were wielding weapons and cornering the white-haired old man.

"Your Excellency."

Rein's voice came through the headset very quickly, even with a hint of urgency: "The forces being besieged below, without a doubt, should be that native nation called Divine Xia that Lord Gu Xu mentioned!"

Upon hearing the words "Shelsh," Anya felt a chill run down her spine.

Gu Xu's calm yet cold words before he left still seemed to echo in my ears:

"Once you reach Shenxia territory, go directly to the Supreme Command Headquarters in Longjing and find two ministers surnamed Li and Zhang respectively... I'll take care of the rest."

They had barely entered the atmosphere of this blue planet when they arrived.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Star Hunters were seen demolishing that person's old home.

He even almost killed someone's elder on the spot!

If we had arrived two minutes later...

If these desperados really let them slaughter that person's homeland...

Anya couldn't even imagine what would happen if that ancient ruler, who wielded indescribable power, were to become angry.

Is there anyone left to survive under this starry sky?

"Scraps."

Anya spat out two words through gritted teeth, a murderous glint in her eyes.

Without another word, she raised her right hand and slammed it down on the airspace below: "Notify the entire ship, fire all weapons immediately! Bombard these reckless space dogs to death! Don't let a single one escape!"

"clear!!"

Rein responded in a serious voice, then slammed his fist on the main switch of the fleet's fire control system.

The next moment, the steel behemoth hovering in the sky had its dozens of tightly closed heavy weapon launch ports suddenly slide open to both sides.

With the cannon barrels aligned, they were pressed down in unison, and the dark muzzles instantly locked onto Richard and the others in mid-air.

"Buzz—!!"

In an instant, blinding white light gathered wildly deep within the cannon's muzzle.

The terrifying energy compression reaction, which surpassed the current technological limits of Earth, instantly distorted the space within a radius of tens of miles into visible ripples.
