“Cough, cough…”

Nassaupele took a good while to crawl out of the rubble. If it hadn't prepared an enhanced body for itself, this tremor might have been the end of it.

Damn it—what exactly have those bugs done!

Although one life was nothing, it wasn't confident it could complete the soul transfer under the King's watchful eyes without being discovered. Before it completely seized core control, it should maintain its current image as much as possible to lower others' guard.

"My King, are you alright…"

"The dome of the King's City has been damaged, and the magic barrier has been shattered. Estimated recovery time is half an hour." The King stiffly instructed, "Immediate countermeasures must be taken!"

"What was that light and loud noise just now?" The voice of the Bloody Conqueror also chimed in. "Why can I see the movements in the rear even in Anletta?"

"Where are the Eye Guards? I can't contact the Eye Guards!" Wu Wang sounded somewhat panicked. "Mask, what tricks did you play just now!?"

What tricks did it play? Nassaupele suddenly felt a surge of nameless fire in its heart. Did these idiots, who possessed only brute strength, not understand that humanity was launching an unprecedented attack on the race?!

The brightness of that white light just now reached an unbelievable level, causing damage merely by looking directly at it. Now, most of its dozen or so heads were blind. Even the sun couldn't achieve that.

As for the fate of those Eye Guards, it was obvious without even thinking about it.

For the first time, Mask failed to conceal its emotions.

"The Eye Guards are all dead. Use your own eyes to see."

After speaking coldly, it boarded the nearest hover platform. Along the way, fragments continued to collapse from the dome, falling into the vast Ephemeral Lake. Although such damage wasn't enough to threaten the Tower of Genesis, this place had never been touched by enemies since the King's City was established, which would undoubtedly deal a significant blow to the morale of the race.

Climbing to the highest point of the King's City, a scorching heat wave rushed towards it, mixed with a foul, burnt smell in the air, as if a large fire had occurred here.

It clearly remembered that the initial position of the white light was not close to the dome, but hundreds of meters above this point in the high sky. Even at such a distance, the residual heat was still present, which was beyond its comprehension.

Looking around, Nassaupele gained a basic understanding of the overall situation.

Without a doubt, that piece of black metal was the culprit behind everything.

It not only created a huge gap above the dome but also destroyed most of the symbiote defense devices. Judging from the edges of the inwardly collapsing fissures, the outer shell of the city should have been crushed by some kind of immense force. Although the crystalline stone that constructed the upper shell was far less sturdy than the Tower of Genesis, it was at least under the protection of the magic barrier. A single blow that created a corner of the shell destroyed, demonstrated how astonishing the power of that thing was.

Snow powder would absolutely not have such an effect, even if the quantity was increased tenfold. The weapon used by humanity was clearly a new inheritance, and the race was completely unaware of it!

What made Mask's expression even uglier was that the Iron Birds didn't take the opportunity to swarm down and attack the chaotic ground forces. Instead, they entered a rotation again, without any intention of approaching!

Could there be… more than one of these things?

It looked back at the tower below the fissure and the surging Ephemeral Lake, and its heart sank to the bottom.

"Order all Bogel Wyverns to ascend. Don't get entangled by the Iron Birds in front of you. Scout as high as possible. Report to me immediately if you discover any abnormalities!" Mask roared in consciousness.

"Report to you? Nassaupele, are you mistaken? The King City Wyvern Army is my troop!" Wu Wang's tone was unfriendly.

If it hadn't been unable to develop a flying symbiote yet, it wouldn't need to say these nonsense words! Mask suppressed its anger. "Listen carefully, the real main attack force of humanity is not those Iron Birds, but something else—" It recalled the previous scene. "That thing should be flying very high, and the weapons it carries will fall from the sky and explode at a specific altitude. Because of the extreme power, the Iron Birds are hovering on the periphery. Their purpose is not to attack the Gods of Creation, but to protect the main attackers! You must find it quickly and then eliminate it, or we're finished!"

"Finished? Do you mean… by humans?" Wu Wang was stunned.

"Go quickly, intercept that force. Only you can do this!" Mask then turned its consciousness towards the race core. "My King, please allow me to transfer the Gods of Creation. We can't stay in place any longer. If we continue like this, we'll be treated as targets by humans!"

It originally thought it would have to spend some effort to persuade the King to actively evade humanity, but unexpectedly, the King quickly gave instructions: "Control of the King's City is temporarily your responsibility. You must eliminate the invaders!"

Is this detachment from self-emotion, a judgment completely based on reason… Mask lowered its head towards the Tower of Genesis. "As you command, my King."

Since the King merged with the core instrument, it has become increasingly to its liking. Perhaps in another hundred years, the other party will truly understand its philosophy. It's a pity that the Sovereign Throne was too terrifying, otherwise it might not have done it so thoroughly.

Mask raised the miniature core high, pouring all its magic power into it.

The Gods of Creation let out a roar, and then rose without warning, flying towards the bottom of the smoke plume that was spreading towards the sky—

With full control, it no longer needed to notify its subordinates. It could use the core in its hand to make the entire King's City operate according to its will. The sudden movement of the floating land would undoubtedly cause some danger to the people of the city, such as the unlucky ones walking on the edges of the rock walls falling into the abyss and being smashed to pieces, but this was not a problem that Nassaupele needed to consider now.

If that black bomb fell into the dome, the situation would truly be irreversible!

…

"Detected a large number of Terror Beasts ascending! Repeat, detected a large number of Terror Beasts ascending!"

"They're coming at us!"

"This is the Sixth Flying Squadron. Guys, spread out and prepare to engage!"

After the morning light lit up the sky, the Sky Knights no longer needed to rely on tail lights to guide their direction. However, not all the sights bathed in the golden dawn were beautiful. In addition to the cloud of smoke that unfolded like a flower, a large number of black spots appeared in the field of vision. They poured out of the Gods of Creation, like a swarm of aggressive wild bees.

"Ark of Peace, what is the situation now?" Tilly asked loudly.

"Calculations have been completed and we are about to enter the bombing position."

Previously, it took the bomber crew a lot of time to confirm the explosion situation. Since the Devil's King City had an outer shell, in order to exert the full power of the second implosion bomb, it had to be brought as close to the source of the red mist as possible. Even though Sylvie calculated new airdrop parameters at the first time, the natural error caused by dropping from a height of 7,000 meters had exceeded the range of the fissure. Therefore, the Ark crew took the initiative to reduce the altitude by 1,500 meters to ensure that the bomb could fly into the city.

"Ark is preparing to drop, all crews prepare for impact." Dozens of seconds later, the report came again from the radio.

"Wait!" At this moment, Sylvie suddenly interrupted. "The Gods of Creation have begun to move!"
