Everyone was well aware of how dire the situation was. Star Ring City was under siege, one mother planet after another was being destroyed, the Royal Knights were suffering casualties, and the troops on the front lines were retreating and taking heavy losses. There seemed to be no hope in sight.

"We will succeed! Everyone, don't give up!"

Golie encouraged everyone.

The others were filled with a glimmer of hope when a post of terror appeared.

The vice-patriarch of the Eternal Slumber Clan has attacked the Fiergiel Empire and is currently slaughtering!

"It's over!"

"Someone, please save us."

Countless citizens of the Fiergiel Empire posted in fear.

"Hold on, everyone, the main fleet is on its way back."

Golie also felt extremely helpless. All she could do was encourage everyone as much as possible.

…

Fiergiel Empire Defense Zone.

Mogasi transformed into a terrifying stream of light, streaking across the void.

The linked giant defense fortresses—Iron Shields—set up in the outer space of the Fiergiel Empire exploded one after another like dazzling fireworks.

Its sturdy armor was like paper in front of Mogasi.

The Fiergiel Empire's top mecha squadron split into two. One team chased after Mogasi, launching suicidal attacks to prevent it from getting close to its mother planet.

The other team constantly scanned the surroundings, looking for Brunarun's tracks to prevent being ambushed.

Mogasi looked at the mecha squadron chasing after it, a twisted smile appearing on its face. It suddenly stopped, and the nerve circuits throughout its body lit up.

"Die!"

The mecha squadron that was attacking came to a sudden halt.

They struggled desperately, but the mecha couldn't move. Special, slender nerve circuits appeared on their surfaces.

"Death Strangulation!"

Mogasi activated its power, and the spider web-like nerve circuits lit up.

Ah!

One mecha after another was cut apart and exploded!

Just then, beams of brilliant light shot towards Mogasi from afar. Mogasi suddenly turned its head and an AT field barrier instantly unfolded!

The beams struck the AT field barrier, and light scattered everywhere.

Mogasi's expression darkened. Mechas of the Fiergiel Empire swarmed from all directions, shouting slogans.

"For the Fiergiel Empire, we'll fight to the death!"

…

At the same time, the Eternal Slumber Clan's troops attacking the Fiergiel Empire became exceptionally violent, frantically assaulting its defenses.

Unfortunately, the soldiers of the Fiergiel Empire were also well aware that they had reached a critical moment of life and death.

Everyone went all out, desperately holding on, so the defense line did not collapse for the time being.

At this moment, Brunarun appeared, proudly launching an attack from the front. It transformed into an extremely terrifying stream of light, piercing towards the Fiergiel Empire's mother planet.

"Here it comes, stop it!"

"We absolutely cannot let it get through."

Hysterical shouts echoed in the communication channel.

One mecha after another rushed forward like madmen, followed by battleships turning their bows, launching long-range barrage attacks while moving at high speed.

Brunarun looked at the Fiergiel Empire's forces blocking its path and snorted.

"Overestimating yourselves!"

Brunarun's giant eye lit up. It erupted with a dazzling light, and a halo instantly spread out.

All the missiles that came flying through the air exploded halfway.

Brunarun accelerated further, its speed reaching its limit, making it impossible to lock on with the naked eye.

The mecha and battleships that came to intercept it were pierced through before they could even react.

Without any surprises, Brunarun crashed into the Fiergiel Empire's mother planet like a meteor once again.

Boom!

The huge mother planet instantly shattered.

Golie watched the real-time captured images through the Star Ring Forum, and couldn't help but lower her head, a trace of tears welling up in her eyes.

A sense of powerlessness rose from her heart.

…

Prison of Hearts Defense Zone.

Su Mo led the Divine Guards squadron, rampaging and slaughtering!

The Spirit Touched that rushed up were cut down in droves as soon as they got close!

The entire Divine Guards squadron displayed incredibly terrifying strength, but it was useless. Those Eternal Slumber Clan Spirit Touched acted as if they didn't care about dying, just rushing forward to be killed.

There were so many of them that it was outrageous. No matter how strong you were, it would still take time to kill them all, even if they stood still and let you do it.

At this time, Xiao Wen anxiously reported to Su Mo.

"It's not working, Su Mo, we can't hold on anymore. The number of enemies getting through is increasing."

"Damn it!"

Su Mo almost ground his teeth to pieces.

Then, Mo Bake's communication also connected, and he wailed to Su Mo.

"Boss, too many enemies are getting through. I can't stop them at all. Those guys are now wantonly destroying the Prison of Hearts. It's really over this time!"

Su Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to look.

He saw a large number of Spirit Touched breaking through the defense zone, bombarding the Prison of Hearts with a barrage of attacks.

Di Luo then said to Su Mo, "It's not going to work. There are too many of them, and the defense zone is full of holes! The Prison of Hearts fortress is suffering damage at an alarming rate. And if we continue to defend like this, we may be completely annihilated. Now is the most critical moment, Su Mo. You have to make a decision: continue to defend or retreat."

After listening to Di Luo's words, Su Mo's heart became even more tangled.

At this time, the Creator—Devourer said to Su Mo in a low voice, "Retreat. Abandon the Prison of Hearts. Although it's very unwilling, there's no other way. We really have tried our best."

Su Mo's heart bled. His expression changed constantly. Although reason told him to retreat, he was truly unwilling and reluctant to let go.

Moreover, at this time, screams were constantly echoing in the communication channel.

"Ah!"

Su Mo raised his head to look at the virtual squadron display, and saw the portraits of his teammates turning black as they fell.

"Damn it, retreat..."

Su Mo finally spoke helplessly.

Just as Su Mo was about to finish speaking about retreating, countless streams of light suddenly came from the distant starry sky.

Countless missiles fell into the Eternal Slumber Clan's forces.

Rumble~

One dazzling sun after another, accompanied by countless fireworks, exploded, lighting up the entire starry sky. In an instant, countless Spirit Touched were directly reduced to ashes.

"What's going on?"

"Reinforcements?"

Surprised shouts echoed in the public communication channel.

Su Mo was also suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but raise his head to look at the distant starry sky.

A star destroyer, 220 kilometers long, with a hull of ink-black armor, a bow composed of twelve Cataclysm Cones, incredibly smooth lines, and exuding a terrifying oppression, emerged, followed by a huge fleet.

"This is?"

Su Mo asked in a somewhat dazed manner.

"Ancient Legendary Star Destroyer—Shadow of Cataclysm! The old man is here!"

The Creator—Devourer said excitedly.

"This firepower is so fierce? This round of firepower cleansing is even fiercer than the Immortal Blade's full ammunition dump!"

Su Mo said in amazement.

"Of course it's fierce! The Immortal Blade only has 30 million launch ports, but this one has a full 80 million. It's not even on the same level, and the gap is more than that. Just watch."

The Creator—Devourer said with great excitement.
