As the rhino monsters rampaged across the battlefield, cutting through the ranks as if they were in uninhabited territory, the command center staff grew increasingly anxious.
If no solution was found soon, and they were allowed to continue, the current advantageous situation would be jeopardized.
"I'll deal with it."
Seeing the situation escalate, Bai Qi stood up, intending to personally eliminate the monster.
However, just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by someone. And the one who stopped Bai Qi was none other than Wu.
Wu bowed slightly and said, "Holy Lord, how can we let you handle such a trivial matter yourself? Please, leave it to me."
"Very well, then go."
Hearing Wu's words, Bai Qi nodded in agreement.
Bai Qi had never truly witnessed the strength of this seemingly new confidante, Wu. Most of what he knew was from her own boasts. Now that she had volunteered, it was the perfect opportunity to gauge the true power of his final apostle.
"Lord Wu! You are going to handle this personally?"
Wu did not reply. She walked directly out of the command center, demonic energy surging around her. Her body floated upwards, and she flew towards the battlefield.
"They're coming! They're coming this way!"
"Run, run quickly!"
"I don't want to die!"
*Bang!*
"No retreat! No one is allowed to retreat! Any deserters will be shot on sight! Push forward!"
The rhino monster was like a colossal bulldozer, leaving behind devastation wherever it went.
Formidable enemies are not to be feared, but when an enemy is not only powerful but also shows no visible weakness, that is truly terrifying.
As the rhino monster wreaked havoc on the battlefield, it undoubtedly dealt a massive blow to the morale of the troops.
Just as the rhino monster was playfully stomping on tanks like toys, a "little fly" rapidly approached from afar.
The rhino monster paid it no mind at first, but in the next moment, this "little fly" landed a fierce punch on the rhino monster's massive head.
*Bang!*
With a dull thud, the rhino monster staggered back several steps. Cracks appeared on its exoskeleton where it had been struck.
"It's Lord Wu!"
"Lord Wu is here to save us!"
Wu's appearance was akin to a shot of adrenaline, at least for the people of the Gatekeeping clan. The foreign soldiers were awestruck by Wu's immense power, which helped to stabilize the collapsing frontline.
*Roar!*
The rhino monster, having retreated a few steps, shook its head. It roared at Wu in the air, then pushed off the ground with its hind legs and charged towards her.
Facing the charging rhino monster, Wu showed no fear. With an burst of power, she charged forward to meet it, her hands held out in front of her.
*Bang!*
The rhino monster's massive head collided with Wu's arms. The immense force traveled through her arms to her entire body.
"Stop... it!"
With another surge of effort from Wu, after being propelled back over fifty meters by the rhino monster's head, she managed to halt its advance through sheer force. Then, placing one hand on the exoskeleton, Wu gathered power with her other hand and swung it forward with a mighty blow.
*Crack!*
As splintering sounds echoed, the cracks on the rhino monster's head exoskeleton grew larger and longer. Finally, unable to withstand the pressure, large pieces began to fall off, crushing and injuring many unlucky individuals.
This, however, truly enraged the rhino monster.
The exoskeleton on its back shifted, and in the next moment, bone spikes as thick as tree trunks shot towards Wu like a barrage of rain.
"A petty trick."
A smirk played on Wu's lips as she opened her mouth.
*Whoosh!*
A scorching dragon's breath erupted from Wu's mouth. Everything in its path, including the bone spikes, melted. The fiery torrent directly struck the rhino monster's face, instantly charring half of it beyond recognition.
In the command center, everyone was awestruck by Wu's formidable power.
"Is this Lord Wu's true strength? It's terrifying."
"As expected of Lord Wu."
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction at Wu's performance. She was completely dominating the massive rhino monster.
However, the terror from the Gate of Oblivion was not over. Just as Wu was unilaterally suppressing the rhino monster, more rhino monsters emerged from the Gate of Oblivion. In addition, a new type of colossal flying creature appeared, resembling a manta ray.
These giant manta rays were not only enormous, about half the size of a soccer field, but also had suction cups under their wings, like an octopus. However, these suction cups were not for gripping but for expelling substances.
As the manta rays flew through the air, the suction cups under their wings secreted a highly corrosive liquid. This liquid coalesced into spheres the size of watermelons, which then dropped downwards.
Anything, whether a person or a tank, that came into contact with even a drop would be corroded into nothingness.
Even when they landed on the ground, they caused immense damage to the soil, making it no exaggeration to say that nothing grew in their wake.
Fortunately, these manta rays, unlike the rhino monsters, lacked exoskeleton protection, making them vulnerable to effective damage from the artillery fire of helicopters and fighter jets.
But their sheer numbers were overwhelming.
On the ground, rhino monsters and alien creatures advanced in unison. In the air, large swarms of manta rays descended, leaving behind barren landscapes wherever they went, their numbers darkening the sky, presenting a scene of utter apocalyptic devastation.
Despite Wu's strength, she was only one person and could not possibly handle so many simultaneously.
Even the usually composed Savage couldn't remain seated. This situation was so dire that even bringing the entire Justice League might not be enough to resolve it.
More importantly, to achieve his current objectives, Savage had invested significant resources and manpower. Now, his private army, painstakingly cultivated over many years, was being slaughtered at a visible rate.
This one-sided slaughter was unacceptable to him.
Furious, Savage strode towards Bai Qi, grabbed him by the collar, and said, "Holy Lord, is this what you meant? If you don't give me an explanation, don't blame me..."
Before Savage could finish speaking, Bai Qi clasped Savage's hand, his fingers prying away the hand gripping his collar, one by one.
"Rest assured, everything will be fine."
With that, without waiting for Savage to respond, Bai Qi vanished from the command center. The next moment he reappeared, he was in the heart of the battlefield. Looking at the overwhelming tide of alien creatures surrounding him, Bai Qi clicked his tongue.
"With so many monsters, how did just two angels manage to clear them?"
Although he found it strange, Bai Qi had no time to dwell on it. What he desired was land where life could thrive, not a barren wasteland destroyed by alien creatures.
Without further ado, Bai Qi revealed his true form. His body then began to grow at a visible rate: five meters, eight meters, ten meters...
He stopped growing only when his body was more than twice the size of a rhino monster.
The alien creatures, upon seeing this suddenly appearing behemoth, all halted their advance. All eyes were fixed on Bai Qi.
