At the summit of the Red Line, above Mary Geoise.
Thirty Giant Battleships of the Rocks Pirates hovered in mid-air.
Viewed from high above, Mary Geoise was breathtakingly beautiful.
Clusters of pure white buildings stood along broad streets paved with marble, flanked by meticulously trimmed gardens and fountains.
Pangaea Castle stood at the center, with the palaces of various Celestial Dragon families located deeper within.
Each palace was extravagantly luxurious, as if trying to pile up all the wealth of the world in one place.
But now, this beautiful "Divine Realm" was facing an unprecedented threat.
The shadows cast by the thirty Giant Battleships were like curtains of death.
The World Government had discovered these uninvited guests.
Piercing alarm sirens blared throughout Mary Geoise, and the streets descended into chaos.
Garrison soldiers in full armor scrambled nervously toward the defensive frontlines.
CP Units rushed out from the World Government building, while the Celestial Dragons panicked, searching for places to hide.
From their ships high above, the pirates looked down upon the incredibly luxurious, paradise-like city below, their exclamations of awe and greed rising one after another.
"My heavens... Is that Mary Geoise?"
"Look at those buildings! All white! How much would that cost!"
"And those gardens! Those fountains! Damn... the Celestial Dragons really know how to live!"
"Loot it! Take everything!"
Rocks stood at the bow of the ship, looking down at the panicked Mary Geoise below, a ferocious grin spreading across his face.
"Raiver Sky, you may begin."
Raiver Sky gave a slight nod, and with a thought—
Hum—
An invisible Space Fluctuation rippled outward from Raiver Sky as the center.
Raiver Sky closed his eyes, using his Space Perception to precisely lock onto the Space Coordinates of Mary Geoise below.
In the next instant, space trembled and hummed.
On the deck of the flagship, ten meters away from Raiver Sky, the air began to distort.
A black dot appeared, then rapidly expanded, transforming into a ten-meter square.
The first Space Gate had appeared!
Immediately after, the second, the third...
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under Raiver Sky's precise control, a ten-meter square Space Gate materialized out of thin air on the deck of each of the thirty Giant Battleships.
Correspondingly, thirty Space Gates simultaneously appeared on the broad streets of Mary Geoise.
These gates emerged at thirty of the most critical locations in Mary Geoise—
The central square in front of Pangaea Castle.
The core streets of the Celestial Dragon residential areas.
The administrative avenue in front of the World Government building.
...
"What... what is this?!"
"Space Gates?! Leading directly to Mary Geoise?!"
The pirates on the ships were initially shocked, but then erupted into even more frenzied cheers.
They had originally thought they would need to rappel down from high altitude or parachute, which carried risks.
But now, they only needed to step through the gate in front of them to appear directly on the streets of Mary Geoise!
This was... incredibly convenient!
Rocks took the Amplifying Transponder Snail handed to him by a subordinate. He took a deep breath, then raised his arm and shouted:
"Men—do you see it?!"
He pointed downward, toward the scene beyond the thirty Space Gates:
"Mountains of treasure lie right beneath your feet!"
"Those white palaces are piled high with gold and jewels!"
"Those panicked Celestial Dragons are adorned with priceless ornaments!"
Rocks' voice brimmed with incitement, each word stirring the pirates' most primal greed:
"Think of your homelands—the lands seized by the Celestial Dragons, the Celestial Tribute forcibly collected, the loved ones taken as slaves!"
"Everything they've stolen from your homes over eight hundred years is right there!"
"And now—"
"Officer Raiver Sky has prepared the Space Gates for you!
Charge through the Space Gate before you, and you'll enter Mary Geoise directly!"
Rocks spread his arms wide, his voice reaching its peak:
"Plunder everything you see to your heart's content! Slaughter every Celestial Dragon you encounter!!"
"Ooh—!!!"
"Kill them all—!!"
"For the treasure—charge!!!"
Frenzied roars shook the heavens, the battle cries of a hundred thousand pirates converging into a tangible wave of sound.
Then, the black tide began to surge.
In an instant, a hundred thousand fierce, elite pirates flooded into the massive Space Gates before them.
The first to charge through was a captain.
A one-eyed giant over three meters tall, known by the epithet "Skull-Crusher" Barton.
He led the charge, vanishing into the dark passage the moment he stepped into the Space Gate.
The next second—
At the central square before Pangaea Castle, Barton's figure burst forth from the Space Gate!
The instant he landed, his massive battle-axe swept out horizontally!
"Thud—!!!"
Several Garrison soldiers who had been assembling in the square were cleaved at the waist before they could even comprehend what was happening!
Blood gushed like fountains, entrails scattering across the ground!
Following Barton, an endless stream of pirates poured out from the Space Gate like a tide, charging toward Pangaea Castle.
The second Space Gate was located on a street in the Celestial Dragon residential district.
"Kill—!!!"
A torrent of pirates continuously surged out from the Space Gate.
What they saw was a crowd of panicked Celestial Dragons.
These World Nobles had just fled their palaces and were preparing to head to the underground shelters.
Some rode in luxurious carriages pulled by slaves, while others were surrounded by CP escorts.
When they saw the suddenly appearing pirates, they froze at first.
Then, they screamed.
"Ahhh—!!!"
"Pirates! Pirates!"
"Guards! Where are the guards?!"
"Protect this Holy One at once!!"
All the pirates swarmed forward, and the CP escorts were utterly powerless to resist.
Chaos—absolute chaos.
A fat-headed Celestial Dragon tried to flee, but his bloated body couldn't move quickly.
A pirate caught up from behind, his cleaver swinging down without hesitation!
"Thud!"
The head rolled to the ground, its eyes still wide open in death, filled with disbelief and terror.
"The first one!"
The pirate excitedly grabbed the head, skewered it on the tip of his blade, and raised it high:
"Three hundred million Belly! This is mine!"
This act ignited everyone.
"Kill—!!!"
"A Celestial Dragon's head is worth three hundred million!"
"Don't steal it! That's mine!"
The slaughter had begun.
The pirates surged forth like ravenous wolves descending upon a flock of sheep, their weapons swinging wildly through the air.
A single Celestial Dragon's head was worth three hundred million Belly.
The third Space Gate, the fourth, the fifth...
Thirty Space Gates stood like thirty gateways to hell, continuously pouring one hundred thousand pirates into every corner of Mary Geoise.
And Mary Geoise—this holy city that had never known the ravages of war—was now enduring the most brutal baptism in its eight hundred years of existence.
Screams of agony, furious roars, explosions, the collapse of buildings...
All these sounds intertwined, composing the symphony of Mary Geoise's destruction.
