The next moment, beams of blazing orange energy, like uncontrolled lasers, burst forth from those "eyes"! They were not aimed at any specific target, but rather bombarded the already fragile space around them wildly and chaotically!

“Sizzle——!!!”

The sound of space being torn apart was incessant! Irregular spatial rifts, with purple arcs of electricity and orange specks of light leaping at their edges, were forcibly ripped open in the sky above the battlefield like ugly scars!

Then, a horrifying scene happened.

From those spatial rifts came a sickening roar and a scraping sound!

Then, one after another, distorted monsters exuding an ominous aura struggled and wriggled as they swarmed out of the crack!

They had a chitinous shell, a pale and purple hue, their limbs twisted and deformed, corrosive saliva dripping from their mouths, and hollow purple flames burning in their eyes—

Like locusts attracted by the scent of blood, they roared deafeningly, forming a destructive torrent that charged fearlessly towards the DEM troops waiting below and Alan Mathers in the air!

(Hehe, a perfect replica! Although it's just a 'model' created using the power of reason combined with spatial projection technology, it only has a scary appearance and basic physical attack power, lacking the Honkai energy characteristics of a real Honkai Beast that can erode everything. But it's more than enough to scare people and serve as expendable cannon fodder! Look at this spectacle! Look at this aura! I'll scare these tin cans below into having some psychological trauma!)

Chika gave herself a thumbs up for her "stage effects," maintaining the cold and arrogant expression of a Celestial Herrscher on the surface, while internally relying on the Law of Reason core to keep herself rational and prevent herself from becoming arrogant immediately.

However, the effect was minimal. She even slightly raised her chin, as if the torrent of terrifying monsters surging out of the spatial rifts, enough to drive ordinary people to the brink of madness, was merely the most insignificant extension of her will, a natural prelude to the impending destruction.

Faced with this overwhelming tide of "Honkai Beasts" that seemed to come from the gates of hell, the well-trained DEM troops on the ground couldn't help but experience a moment of unease and hesitation.

These monsters, which have never appeared in any database or combat record before and exude pure malice and a twisted form, brought them an unprecedented visual impact and psychological pressure.

However, Alan Mathers's cold voice rang out across the entire army through the communication channel, stabilizing morale: "Maintain formation! It's nothing but an energy construct and a spatial teleportation trick! Concentrate firepower and annihilate them!"

At the same time, she looked up at the DEM airship suspended high in the air and gave a stern order:

"Airship units, unleash the full power of [Phantom Beast Bondski]! Use numbers against numbers! Clear out these grunts!"

"Yes, sir!"

The colossal ship hovering in the sky responded to the command. Multiple massive hatches on its belly, sides, and even top burst open simultaneously. This time, it wasn't a batch deployment like before, but a true, unreserved descent!

The Bondsky robots, densely packed and so numerous they were terrifying, seemed endless, like a real metal waterfall or a steel storm sweeping across the sky, flashing thousands upon thousands of chilling crimson eyes.

Employing a unified, deep, and murderous buzz, it swooped down from the sky, blotting out the sun, and crashed headlong into the surging tide of "Honkai Beasts" composed of pale and purple!

The next moment, the torrent of steel and pseudo-beasts collided violently on the battlefield that had been reduced to scorched earth!

"boom!!!!"

Intense explosions, the sound of metal tearing apart, the roars of monsters, the buzzing of energy weapons... all intertwined in an instant into a chaotic and cruel symphony of death!

Pale limbs and steel fragments flew everywhere, while purple energy streams and red laser beams clashed and intersected in the air!

Both sides engaged in a primitive and brutal war of attrition with overwhelming numbers and a fearless attitude!

The entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a giant meat grinder, with countless "Honkai Beasts" being evaporated by lasers and torn apart by metal every second, and countless Bondski robots being dismantled by claws and melted by corrosive liquid.

The instigator of all this chaos and destruction, the [Divine Judgment] Lawyer, still silently floats above her spatial mirror, like a supreme judge detached from the matter.

She coldly looked down at the carnage she had personally orchestrated—a spectacle of flesh and steel clashing—as if she were watching a cruel drama that had nothing to do with her, yet suited her desires.

The massive katana in her hand, crackling with leaping lightning, hung slightly lower. The arcs of lightning leaping across the blade emitted a soft "crackling" sound, like a bound thunder beast impatiently waiting for an opponent worthy of unleashing its full power and drinking the blood of a strong one.

Alan Mathers's gaze, like the most precise guidance, pierced through the chaotic battlefield below, ignoring the constantly exploding "Honkai Beasts" and Bondski, and firmly and precisely locked onto the Herrscher figure above that exuded a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

The lightsaber in her hand seemed to sense its master's fighting spirit, emitting a clearer and more rapid energy hum.

She knew very well that the seemingly massive wave of monsters before her was just an appetizer to disrupt and weaken them; the real, decisive battle would not even begin until that Herrscher personally wielded his sword.

Chapter 112 When DEM Goes Bankrupt

Above the battlefield, the [Heavenly Judgment] Herrscher coldly watched the war of attrition beneath her feet, which resembled a meat grinder.

The wreckage of the pale pseudo-beasts and steel robots continued to pile up, staining the scorched earth with an even more eerie color.

Just then, the anxious voice of the tech officer rang out in Alan Mathers' encrypted communication channel, accompanied by piercing alarms and rapidly scrolling loss data:

"Lord Allen! The casualty rate of Bondsky's forces has risen sharply! More than sixty percent of the units have lost signal!"

"The enemy constructs are coming out at a rate far exceeding our replenishment efficiency! At this rate, our ground defenses will be completely breached in less than three minutes, and our troops will be overwhelmed by their sheer numbers!"

Allen's brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of extreme frustration and decisiveness flashed in his cold eyes.

She glanced at the Herrscher high in the sky, seemingly admiring the scenery, and knew she couldn't delay any longer. Conventional methods of confrontation were meaningless against the opponent's near-infinite ability to "produce troops."

"All units, listen up!"

Allen's voice was like shattering ice, carrying a do-or-die determination.

"Tactical change! Abandon ground engagement! All airships, main guns and secondary gun arrays, full power! Lock onto high-altitude target—[Judgment] Herrscher! Fire a salvo!"

"All ground long-range firepower units! Ignore enemy troops, repeat, ignore enemy troops! All missiles and energy cannons, maximum range, lock onto the same target! Fire!"

The moment the order was given, the battlefield situation changed drastically!

Several DEM airships hovered in the air, their massive hulls adjusting their angles. Their menacing cannons rapidly charged, emitting a chilling low hum. A ghostly blue energy condensed at the cannon muzzles, like volcanoes about to erupt!

At the same time, at the remaining long-range firing points on the ground, countless missile launch silos opened, warheads flashing red light rose up, and energy turrets all turned to the sky!

"boom!!!!!!"

"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—!!!"

The deafening roar and the piercing sound of air being torn apart intertwined to create a symphony of destruction!

Countless thick, dark blue energy beams, like divine punishment spears, roared out from the warship's main cannon!

The missiles, dense as rain, trailed long plumes of flame, resembling a meteor shower flying in reverse!

Add to that the countless energy beams shooting from the ground... all the firepower wove together into a deadly net that covered the entire sky, leaving no blind spots, and with an aura that could tear everything apart and annihilate everything, it swept over the [Heavenly Judgment] Herrscher who was suspended above the spatial mirror stage!

The scene was like the end of the world, enough to make anyone facing it feel despair.

However, faced with this saturation attack that could level a mountain, the [Heavenly Judgment] Herrscher did not even change his expression in the slightest.

Those eyes, burning with golden, prismatic light, remained cold and arrogant, reflecting the destructive streams of light sweeping across the sky, as if watching an insignificant fireworks display.

Just as the first wave of energy beams and missiles were about to touch her body—

She raised her right hand, covered by a black and white sleeve, and snapped her fingers lightly and casually at the surging torrent of death rushing towards her.

A crisp snap of the fingers, so faint as to be almost negligible amidst the deafening roar of the explosion.

But the moment that soft sound fell, something unexpected happened!

In the void before her, countless circular portals, their edges flowing with purple lightning and spatial ripples, unfolded instantly and without warning, like ripples in water! They varied in size and appeared precisely in the path of every energy beam, every missile, and every energy cannon!

The next moment, something astonishing happened.

The terrifying firepower, capable of destroying everything, vanished the moment it came into contact with these spatial gates, like a mud ox sinking into the sea. There was no explosion, no impact, not even a ripple was stirred up. It was completely and utterly swallowed up by those deep spatial gates!

In the blink of an eye, the massive, overwhelming saturation attack vanished without a trace under the "kiss" of countless spatial gates!

The sky suddenly returned to "calm," leaving only the subtle spatial ripples left by the slow closing of the portal.

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence. All the DEM soldiers who witnessed this scene, including those units that were fighting the pseudo-beasts, froze in their tracks, their faces filled with disbelief and horror.

Even Alan Mathers, whose face was usually frozen in ice, showed a clear and undisguised shock and solemnity for the first time!

(Spatial transfer?! On such a scale, with such precision...)

However, the performance of the [Divine Judgment] Lawyer is not over yet.

Just as Ellen and her troops were still reeling from the shock of the attack being completely absorbed, she casually raised her hand and waved it gently in the direction of Ellen's troops, as if shooing away a swarm of annoying flies.

With a flick of her finger, high above the DEM force array, the spatial gates that had previously devoured all the firepower suddenly opened again with even greater ferocity!

This time, however, they were no longer swallowing black holes, but transformed into fountains spewing death!

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!”

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!!”

All the energy beams, missiles, and energy cannons that had just been swallowed up were now being returned to them in a more concentrated and violent manner, pouring out from the countless spatial gates!

Like a real meteor shower, they carried even more intense lightning and spatial tearing effects from the [Judgment] Herrscher, indiscriminately covering the unsuspecting DEM troops below, as well as the Bondski robots that were fighting against the pseudo-beasts!

"Do not--!!!"

"Evade! Evade quickly!"

"Shield overload!!!"

The desperate cries and terrified screams were instantly drowned out by the deafening explosion!

Rumble, rumble—! ! !

The world lost its color, and all things collapsed!

A violent surge of energy swept across the land, flattening it once more! Missiles rained down like hailstones, blasting steel robots and pale pseudo-beasts to shreds! A beam of eerie blue energy swept across the sky, tearing and igniting the armor of massive airships as if they were paper!

One after another, the airships, billowing thick smoke, lost power and plummeted from the sky like giant steel birds with broken wings, crashing into the ground and creating huge craters and triggering secondary explosions!

Ground troops were completely wiped out by this indiscriminate barrage, with even their remains being vaporized in subsequent explosions!

The acrid smell of burning filled the air, and the pungent smoke obscured the sky.

The once noisy and chaotic battlefield was reduced to a burning, desolate wasteland in just a few seconds. Fragmented cries for help echoed weakly amidst the crackling flames before fading away.

The mountains and forests were reduced to charcoal, and the earth was scarred and devastated.

As the aftershocks of the final explosion slowly dissipated and the lingering smoke subsided, visibility gradually improved.

The once massive steel torrent of DEM has vanished.

Instead, what lies in sight are still-burning steel wreckage and scorched earth completely leveled.

In the sky, only Alan Mathers remained. Relying on the powerful capabilities of Pendragon, she managed to activate the strongest protective shield at the last moment, barely surviving the destructive storm that she herself had ordered to be unleashed, only to be met with even greater devastation.

However, her magnificent display device was covered in scorch marks and damage, making her look somewhat disheveled.

She hovered in mid-air, looking down at the hellish scene below, and at the unit she had brought, representing the elite forces of DEM.

After being completely wiped out in such a short time, a raging fire, suppressed to the extreme and almost tangible, finally ignited in those cold eyes.

The instigator of it all, the [Judgment] Lawyer, still stands on the Void Mirror Steps, her skirt fluttering, with the crimson warrior phantom behind her standing silently.

She looked down at the inferno she had created, and at the lone golden figure hovering in the air, glaring at her. A faint, yet chilling smile seemed to curve her lips.

It's as if it's saying: Now, it's peaceful.

Chapter 113 Elegy for Sinners

Despite the excruciating pain throughout her body and the weakness caused by the excessive consumption of spiritual energy, Takamiya Mana drove the slightly sluggish manifestation device and flew with difficulty to Allen Mathers' side.

She looked down at the scorched earth of the battlefield and the annihilated army, then gazed at the indifferent, godlike figure high in the sky, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly:

"Lord Allen! Our troops... are... there's no point in continuing the fight! We request an immediate retreat!"

Allen's gaze was fixed on the Herrscher high above, not even sparing a glance for Mana. Her voice, as if pulled from an ice cellar, carried an almost frantic stubbornness:

“Retreat?” she repeated the word as if she had heard an absurd joke. “Do you think… we can even escape from her?”

Her gaze followed the figure suspended on the spatial mirror steps, looking at the burning earth and the wreckage of the fallen warship beneath her feet.

"None of us will leave this graveyard until we defeat her."

Before he finished speaking, the thrusters behind Allen erupted with an unprecedented ghostly blue flame!

Pendragon, at full power, carried her like a shooting star, tearing through the air, and with a resolute attitude, charged fiercely towards the Herrscher of Judgment in the sky!

(Fly! I must fly higher than her! Just like she did before!)

At this moment, the roles of offense and defense have reversed. Once, Chika looked up from the ground, burning everything to rush towards the invincible god, but in the end, she stepped onto a higher level than her opponent.

Now, it's Alan Mathers' turn. This magician, hailed as the world's strongest, is giving it his all, attempting to fly across that absolute realm constructed of space and lightning to challenge the being that has become a calamity.

The Herrscher of Judgment looked down at the stubborn golden streak of light charging towards them, her eyes remaining completely unmoved. She didn't even flinch in the face of Allen's desperate charge.

Just as Allen's lightsaber was about to enter its effective range, attempting to block her path of movement with a disruptive beam—

"Zi la——!"

A deafening clap of thunder exploded!

The figure of the [Celestial Judge] Lawyer suddenly blurred, and in the next instant, she transformed into a rushing and dazzling purple lightning bolt!

It was no longer flying, but leaping and flashing freely in space like real lightning!

Allen's pupils contracted sharply, and he swung his lightsaber rapidly, casting out precise and deadly interference beams like a fishing net, attempting to capture the trajectory of the lightning.
