The next moment, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded.
The terrifying firepower, capable of destroying everything, vanished the moment it touched these spatial gates, like a clay ox sinking into the sea—there was no explosion, no impact, not even a ripple was stirred up; it was completely and utterly swallowed by the deep spatial gates!
In the blink of an eye, the vast, overwhelming saturation strike disappeared without a trace under the "kiss" of these countless spatial gates!
The sky abruptly returned to "calm," leaving behind only the subtle spatial ripples as the gates slowly closed.
The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence. All DEM soldiers who witnessed this, including the units currently fighting the pseudo-beasts, involuntarily froze, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Even Ellen Mathers, whose face was usually frozen for millennia, showed clear, undisguised shock and solemnity for the first time!
(Spatial transfer?! Such scale, such precision...)
However, the performance of the Heavenly Judgment Herrscher was not yet over.
Just as Ellen and her forces were still reeling from the shock of their attack being completely absorbed, she casually raised her hand and gave a slight wave toward the direction of Ellen's forces, as if shooing away annoying flies.
Following the movement of her fingertips, directly above the DEM formation, high in the sky, the spatial gates that had previously swallowed all the firepower violently reopened in an even more ferocious manner!
Only this time, they were no longer black holes of consumption, but springs spewing death!
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh—!!!!"
"Boom boom boom boom—!!!!"
All the energy beams, all the missiles, and all the energy fire that had just been swallowed were now unleashed from the countless spatial gates, as if returned twofold, in an even denser and more violent torrent!
They descended like a true meteor shower, carrying the fiercer lightning and spatial tearing effects imposed by the Heavenly Judgment Herrscher, indiscriminately engulfing the unprepared DEM company forces below, as well as the Bondski robots currently battling the pseudo-beasts!
"No—!!!"
"Evasion! Quick, evade!"
"Shield overload!!!"
Desperate shouts and terrified screams were instantly drowned out by the deafening explosions!
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE—!!!
Heaven and earth lost their color; everything collapsed and shattered!
Violent energy torrents swept wantonly, leveling the ground once more! Missiles rained down like hail, blasting the steel robots and the pale pseudo-beasts into fragments! Deep blue energy beams swept across the sky, tearing and igniting the armor of the massive aerial battleships as if it were paper!
Battleship after battleship belched thick smoke, lost power, and, like steel giants with broken wings, wailed as they plummeted from the sky, smashing huge craters into the ground and triggering secondary explosions!
The ground forces were utterly annihilated by this indiscriminate saturation strike, their very wreckage vaporized in the subsequent explosions!
The acrid smell of burning permeated the air, and pungent gunpowder smoke obscured the sky.
The previously chaotic and noisy battlefield transformed, in just a few dozen seconds, into a burning, silent patch of scorched earth. Faint, broken cries for help echoed weakly amidst the crackling of flames, then vanished.
The forest turned to charcoal, and the earth was ravaged.
As the last shockwaves of the explosion slowly dissipated and the pervasive smoke slightly settled, visibility gradually cleared.
The massive steel tide of the DEM Company had vanished.
In its place was a landscape covered in burning steel wreckage and blackened earth that had been completely leveled.
In the sky, only Ellen Mathers remained, having barely survived the storm of destruction—which she herself had ordered but was returned twofold—by relying on the powerful performance of the pendragon to deploy her strongest defensive shield at the last moment.
However, her magnificent Realizer Suit was covered in scorch marks and damage, making her appear somewhat disheveled.
She hovered in mid-air, gazing at the hellish scene below, looking at the forces she had brought—the elite strength of the DEM Company.
Seeing her entire army wiped out in such a short time, her cold eyes finally ignited with a palpable, suppressed rage that had reached its peak.
Meanwhile, the perpetrator of it all, the Heavenly Judgment Herrscher, still stood atop the void mirror steps, her skirt fluttering, with the crimson samurai phantom behind her standing in silent solemnity.
She looked down upon the inferno she had personally created, and the lone golden figure hovering in the air, glaring at her, and the corner of her mouth seemed to curve into an extremely faint, yet utterly cold, arc.
As if to say: Now, it is quiet.
