A woman named Dou Miao came from the already destroyed Guleng Star. She was once a member of the Federation Mecha Combat Force and later relocated to the Karon Star System after her home planet was annihilated. She was discovered to have the Talent of a Controller, then joined the Controller team of the Star Alliance. Now, through the Dimension Rift controlled by the organization, she had come to the Second Universe to support the Dark Spirit Star Domain against the Demon Clan’s war.
Just as Dou Miao’s voice fell, more figures appeared before everyone, like black tidal waves, surging towards the direction of the Space Barrier.
These black tides were naturally the Demon Clan’s army.
"They’re here! Attack!"
Dou Miao issued the command, and all the drones commenced a full force attack, surprisingly suppressing the Demon Clan for the moment.
However, her face didn’t show a smile and remained extremely grave because the one who forced their retreat had yet to appear.
The Commander of the Demon Clan, a powerful Extraordinary Level being, whose terrifying power was suffocating, even the beast-type drones she controlled were no match for him.
"Reaper, Wu Qi!"
Dou Miao’s pupils suddenly contracted, reflecting a tall silhouette in her eyes, precisely the Reaper, Wu Qi, she mentioned.
Wu Qi’s figure wasn’t particularly tall among the Demon Clan, just over two meters, only slightly taller than an average person, even appearing much smaller compared to some larger Demon Clan members.
But size wasn’t everything; the aura Wu Qi exuded was thicker than that of all the Demon Clan present combined.
This was a powerhouse at the Lower Transcendent Peak, a being transcending life and death, eternal and Immortal.
Beneath his dark red skin, he held a jet-black scythe, from which countless tormented dead seemed to wail.
"I never thought there would still be people in this world capable of controlling the Beller Clan. I have to admit, you have indeed brought me some trouble..."
Wu Qi slowly raised the scythe in his hand as he spoke.
"However, this is the end. In the face of absolute Strength, no matter how many there are, it’s all to no avail!"
He swung the scythe fiercely, and a dark blade flashed before everyone’s eyes, as if everything had frozen at that moment.
In the next moment, the space tore apart, and that single blow almost dismantled half of the drone swarm, while Dou Miao’s Godslayer Level mechanism split in two, nearly losing its Combat Power with just that.
Even more terrifying, the Space Barrier behind the drones also tore under Wu Qi’s strike, splitting the barrier in two, turning the cut parts into dust, leaving a massive gap.
"How... how is this possible..."
The defenders behind were dumbfounded; they finally understood why the frontline drone swarm retreated—the figure like a Demon God was too terrifying. Now, the only thing in everyone’s mind was the earth-shattering blade; some severely injured individuals were directly shocked to death, and their bodies underwent horrifying mutations, turning into dark red-skinned, mindless monsters of slaughter.
Immediate chaos erupted behind the Space Barrier; the Demon Clan’s army had not yet breached, and the human defense line had already begun sustaining damage.
"Damn it!"
Dou Miao herself was affected, but fortunately, her position wasn’t the main target of Wu Qi’s attack, so she was relatively unharmed.
She immediately unleashed the full potential of the Godslayer drones. Instantly, from the halved mecha burst numerous mechanical tentacles, connecting to the surrounding smaller drones, absorbing their Energy and matter.
The Godslayer drone that Dou Miao controlled resembled a giant crab. After rapidly absorbing a significant amount of Energy, it completed its body repair. Not only that, it split into four clones identical to itself, each clone’s Strength equal to the main body. The five crab drones activated Dark Speed and charged at Wu Qi amidst the black tides.
"Oh?"
Wu Qi couldn’t help but be surprised upon seeing this, not expecting the Godslayer he thought nearly doomed to repair instantly and summon four clones.
Instant repair was not unexpected for him, as many at the Extraordinary Level could achieve this. However, those four clones did surprise him.
Unlike ordinary clones, whose split-off bodies are generally much weaker, the Energy level of these summoned crab drone clones matched that of the main body. Although having the same Energy level doesn’t mean the same performance, it was impressive enough. Even for Wu Qi, a Peak Lower God, such an Ability was something to covet.
"There are unexpected gains! Hahaha!"
He let out a harsh, unpleasant laughter, his mouth full of sharp teeth in a terrifying shape, enough to scare children to death at night.
Inside the Star Alliance flagship, Dou Miao looked pained, with blood trickling from the corners of her mouth.
Forcibly controlling five Godslayer drones brought immense pain to her mind and body.
"Boom boom boom!"
The five crab mechas launched a joint attack, great pincers enclosing from all sides, sealing off all of Wu Qi’s escape routes.
Red light flashed in Wu Qi’s eyes, a powerful force surged from within, and two pairs of demon-like wings suddenly grew from his back, his eyes revealing endless excitement.
In the next moment, dark red Energy exploded from the center, instantly evaporating the surrounding ordinary Demon Clan members, clearing a space in the combat area.
Everyone held their breath, staring unblinkingly at the battle’s central area.
Though most of them couldn’t see the fight directly, it didn’t lessen their apprehension, even making many Demon Clan members subconsciously halt their advance, watching from afar.
About several minutes passed, and the battle’s outcome in the field became clear.
Dou Miao’s crab mecha lost.
Despite summoning four clones, the opponent’s power was greater, and all five together couldn’t contend with a Peak Lower God, soon being defeated.
"Ugh..."
Despair flashed in Dou Miao’s eyes, as her crab drone was captured by Wu Qi, forcibly severing her connection to it. It seemed no one there could stop the enemy now.
"Has the Guardian’s reinforcement not arrived...?"
She queried her team about the support status via the communication channel, receiving only disappointing responses.
"Senior Jin Long is on the way, but he’s being held up by another Demon Clan Commander and can’t support us at the moment! Captain, what should we do now!?"
"What should we do...?"
Dou Miao felt anguished in her heart, not knowing what to do; the monster was too powerful, even with all of them combined, they weren’t his match.
"We’ll gather all the drones and launch a self-destruct attack; maybe it can hold him off a bit, giving us a chance to organize a retreat..."
Just as she was planning the retreat, a burst of static hit the communication channel, followed by a playful, sinister voice echoing in their ears.
"I told you, in the face of absolute power, even more, numbers are useless... Hehehe, just stay obediently, no one can escape from my Reaper’s hands."
Dou Miao and the others’ faces changed drastically; that guy had invaded their communication system without them realizing it!
"Damn! No wonder he’s been able to track us! When did he get in!?"
Everyone was shocked, realizing they were likely doomed this time.
"Hahahaha! I have waited for hundreds of thousands of years for this moment! The demon tide has finally appeared, a gift from that lord! Now, feel the surge of the demon tide!"
Wu Qi let out a piercing, unpleasant laugh.
