The Divine Court is delivering packages? No, it's delivering heads!
“Boom—!!!”
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the massive war machine known as Shield Island reached a complete boiling point.
With Dragon Xia Kingdom's “Kunpeng” class strategic transport ship as the core flagship, an unprecedentedly massive United Fleet officially set sail!
White Eagle Country's “Invincible Fleet” was led by three “Freedom” class aerospace carriers, with over a hundred destroyers and cruisers flanking them like loyal knights, forming a sharp attacking arrowhead.
The Oulu Alliance's “Ark Royal” fleet featured ship designs that were a perfect blend of classical elegance and modern technology.
Atop the hulls, massive magic rune arrays flickered with a faint blue radiance, ready at any moment to provide powerful energy shields for the entire fleet.
North Bear Country's “Red Giant Bear” fleet consisted of warships that looked like sea fortresses built from the crudest steel, filled with a violent aesthetic; their massive ramming prows and dense missile launch ports showcased their simple and brutal combat philosophy.
Beyond these, there were elite fleets from dozens of other powers across the world.
Thousands of warships formed a torrent of steel stretching for hundreds of kilometers.
They carved a magnificent white wake across the sea surface, advancing at full speed toward the coordinates pointed out by Lin Yuan with the force of a thunderbolt!
This was the largest military mobilization in the history of Human Civilization.
Its goal was singular—to slay a god!
Inside the central command cabin of the “Kunpeng,” the atmosphere was solemn to the extreme.
A massive holographic star map floated in the center of the cabin, clearly marking the real-time position of every warship and the target sea area highlighted in red.
“Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief! White Eagle Country's ‘Invincible Fleet’ has arrived at the designated attack position!”
“Reporting! The Oulu Alliance's ‘Ark Royal’ fleet energy shields have been deployed, with coverage reaching ninety percent!”
“Reporting! ‘Eastern Sharp Sword’ first and second assault formations are in position and ready to attack at any time!”
Su Li, dressed in a sharp black combat uniform, stood before the command console with a calm and decisive expression.
Her cold voice continuously issued precise orders through the command System, methodically deploying this massive fleet composed of the world's top powers, weaving them into a death net capable of strangling everything.
Behind her, Yan Wu Xiaolie, Ice Sword Cold Moon, and the other Longxia prodigies had already changed into their respective combat uniforms, their Auras tense as they gripped their weapons like unsheathed swords, ready to rush onto the battlefield.
Even the lively Gu Ningxue and the quiet, introverted Chen Ruoxi had tense faces now, tightly clutching their weapons, their clear eyes a mix of nervousness and Battle Intent.
They had never experienced such an earth-shattering war scene before.
However, in this nearly frozen atmosphere of tension, there was one person who seemed out of place.
As the supreme Commander-in-Chief of this operation, Lin Yuan was not staying at the command console.
He still maintained his lazy demeanor, hands in his pockets, standing with his back turned before the massive porthole, calmly watching the azure sea surface receding rapidly outside.
It was as if this war, which would decide the fate of the world, had nothing to do with him.
Only, no one noticed.
At his fingertips hanging by his side, an occasionally imperceptible wisp of Chaos spiritual light, billions of times thinner than a hair, would flash and vanish.
His Divine Thought had already spread out.
Beneath that seemingly calm sea ahead, the hidden abnormal spatial fluctuations and those sinister Auras stirring in the darkness had nowhere to hide in his eyes.
“A bunch of rats hiding in the gutters, and you dare to try and play at an ambush?”
A faint, cold arc curled at the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth.
He didn't point it out.
He couldn't be bothered to point it out.
It was just as well to let this group of howling “global elites” test the waters first.
To see if this whetstone called the Divine Court was actually hard enough... The fleet sailed at full speed across the vast ocean for over two hours.
The distance to the coordinates marked as the entrance to the “gate of the divine kingdom” on the holographic star map was now less than a hundred kilometers.
“Attention all units! We are about to enter a high-intensity magnetic field storm area! All ships, activate energy stabilization anchors!”
Su Li's voice rang out across everyone's communication channels.
However, the moment her words fell!
A sudden change occurred!
“Rumble—!!!”
The previously calm sea ahead suddenly and without warning began to churn violently!
It was as if hundreds of ancient behemoths were trying to break free from the depths of the seabed!
The next second!
“Splash—!!!”
Dozens of massive, pitch-black shadows suddenly burst through the water's surface, bringing with them a spray of seawater and a nauseating stench as they appeared directly in front of the United Fleet!
Those were not any known ships!
Their hulls seemed to be forcibly stitched together from the pale skeletons of countless behemoths mixed with some kind of writhing black membrane!
There were no cannons or missiles atop the ship bodies.
In their place were eerie crystals shaped like giant eyeballs; inside the crystals was a darkness that seemed capable of swallowing all light!
Divine Court—Bone Warships!
“Enemy attack!!!”
Shrill alarms instantly resounded throughout the entire fleet!
However, it was already too late!
The moment those Bone Warships appeared, the “eyeball crystals” on their hulls lit up simultaneously with an ominous ghostly green glow!
“Hum— Hum— Hum—!”
The next second!
Hundreds of pitch-black corrosive beams, like death rays erupting from the depths of Hell, tore through the air with a tooth-aching “sizzle” and poured down like a rainstorm toward the caught-off-guard United Fleet!
“Activate maximum power shields!!”
Su Li's sharp shout rang out in the command cabin!
However, this ambush by the Divine Court was too sudden and too swift!
Although most warships managed to deploy their energy shields in time, several ships at the very front of the fleet failed to complete their defenses!
“Boom!!”
A destroyer from the Andes Alliance was hit head-on by three corrosive beams!
Its heavy armor, forged from special alloys, was like butter meeting a hot iron the moment it touched the black beams.
It actually dissolved rapidly at a visible speed, emitting large clouds of black smoke!
Within a few short seconds, a small half of that destroyer's bow was melted right through! The entire warship let out a groan of being overwhelmed!
This sudden scene made everyone's hearts turn cold!
The Divine Court's attacks were actually so eerie and domineering!
However, the United Fleet was, after all, a gathering of the world's top forces!
After experiencing the initial panic, a furious counterattack followed!
“You bunch of scum hiding your heads and showing your tails! Die for me!!”
A thunderous shout rang out like an explosion!
Yan Wu Xiaolie was the first to charge out!
His entire being transformed into a ball of raging flames as he leaped directly from the deck of the “Kunpeng”!
“Flame Dragon Break!”
While in mid-air, he thrust both hands forward!
Violent fire energy instantly condensed in front of him into a giant flame spear a hundred meters long!
“Roar—!”
That flame spear even let out a roar like a dragon's cry, carrying a terrifying high temperature that could incinerate all things as it slammed into the incoming rain of black beams!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The moment the three corrosive beams touched the flame spear, they were forcibly shattered by the violent energy attached to it!
At the same time, another cold sword hum resounded through the sky!
“Clang!”
Ice Sword Cold Moon had appeared on the deck at some unknown point.
The ancient longsword in her arms was already unsheathed!
She didn't have Xiao Lie's violent Aura; she simply made a mid-air slash toward a distant Bone Warship!
An ice-blue Sword Qi dozens of meters long, like a Cold Moon slicing through the night sky, left a graceful arc in the air!
That Sword Qi seemed slender, yet it was sharp to the extreme!
“Puchi!”
A soft sound.
That massive Bone Warship in the distance, with its hull made of pale bone and black membrane, was actually split neatly in two from the middle by that ice-blue Sword Qi!
A thick layer of frost covered the cut, completely severing any possibility of it writhing and healing!
“Hahaha! Well done! It's my turn!”
Ivan's wild laughter came from the North Bear Country's fleet!
His tower-like body directly tanked a glancing blow from a corrosive beam; a patch of scorched black appeared on his body, but he seemed to feel nothing!
He stomped hard on the ground, his whole body soaring into the sky like a cannonball, crossing several hundred meters to land heavily on the deck of another Bone Warship!
“Shatter! For me!!”
Ivan roared, raising the massive alloy war hammer in his hands high.
Then, with all his strength, he slammed it down onto the “eyeball crystal” beneath his feet that was gathering energy!
“Dong—!!!!”
A massive sound loud enough to burst eardrums!
That incredibly hard core crystal shattered explosively under Ivan's world-destroying hammer blow!
The entire Bone Warship shuddered violently along with it, then disintegrated and sank into the sea!
As the prodigies from Longxia and North Bear Country took the lead in showing their power, experts from other forces also launched their counterattacks!
The United Fleet, after paying the price of a few damaged warships, quickly stabilized its footing!
The initiative of the battle was being reclaimed bit by bit!
Su Li watched the red dots representing Bone Warships on the holographic star map being extinguished one by one under the attacks of her side's experts; her tense face finally softened slightly.
She was just about to order the fleet to reorganize their formation and launch a full-scale counter-offensive.
But then she saw Lin Yuan, who had been standing by the porthole, suddenly stretch lazily.
“Warm-up is over.”
“Time to clean up the trash.”
