One sword strike severs the heavens' punishment! Mike Jason, your death is nigh!

At the moment when Mike Jason's mind went blank, unable to comprehend the situation before him.

BOOM—!!!

A terrifying sword hum, sounding as if it came from beyond the Nine Heavens and was capable of tearing the Divine Soul apart, resounded through the world without warning!

That was not a sound!

That was pure, destructive power causing violent vibrations as it tore through space!

Inside the Demon Suppressing Pass, everyone instinctively looked up.

They saw a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

A gray-gold sword light, its brilliance indescribable as if it had gathered all the sharpness between heaven and earth, soared into the sky from a corner of the Dragon Xia Kingdom station!

It tore through buildings!

It tore through the clouds!

Finally, it slashed ruthlessly into a patch of seemingly empty Void Realm!

Rip—!!!

Behind that pitch-black rift, the turbulent currents of sub-space surged wildly.

The missile codenamed "heavens punishment," with its hideous dark-red body, was laid bare!

It was in the final stages of detonation!

However.

Before that gray-gold sword light.

Its power, capable of destroying everything within a thousand-mile radius, seemed so ridiculous, so insignificant!

The next second.

The Sword Qi swept across!

Rumble!!!

A violent explosion echoed throughout the area!

heavens punishment turned into a ball of fire that illuminated the entire space, then instantly vanished without a trace!!!

Without the suppression of "heavens punishment."

The forcibly torn spatial rift began to collapse and close violently!

Violent sub-space energy poured out of the rift like a flood breaking through a dam!

Above the entire Demon Suppressing Pass.

Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and space vibrated as if doomsday had arrived!

...White Eagle Country Command Center.

Mike Jason stared blankly at the radar screen, which had completely failed due to the severe spatial distortion.

He felt the ground beneath his feet trembling violently.

He heard the spatial wail that sounded like the roar of a god.

His already collapsed nerves finally snapped completely.

"No..."

He murmured distractedly.

heavens punishment... was blocked?

No, not blocked.

It was... slashed by a single sword?

Just then.

The space in front of him distorted without any warning.

A figure appeared out of thin air.

As if he had been standing there from the very beginning.

Lin Yuan.

He was still wearing the same simple combat suit, spotless.

He just stood there quietly, without releasing any aura.

But Mike Jason felt as if he were facing an endless, towering primordial divine mountain descending from the sky!

That invisible, terrifying pressure, brought about purely by the absolute gap in life levels, made it impossible for him to even breathe!

His heart was gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand!

His bones were letting out a wail of being overburdened!

His Soul was trembling, wailing!

"You... you..."

Mike Jason's lips trembled. He wanted to retreat, but found that his body was no longer listening to his commands.

Fear!

An unprecedented, bone-deep Fear completely submerged him!

He finally understood.

Just what kind of existence he had provoked!

That was no Genius!

That was no Prodigy!

That was a god in human skin!

A demon walking the earth!

"Aaaaaah—!!!"

Under the influence of extreme Fear, Mike Jason erupted in a final moment of madness!

A terrifying blood-light burst from his eyes. Using all his strength, he lunged toward the main control console nearby!

There sat the self-destruct button for the entire Command Center!

He wanted to detonate everything here!

He wanted to perish together with this monster!

Mutual destruction!

However.

His hand hadn't even touched the red button yet.

Hum—

A dull engine roar, as if coming from the depths of the sea of stars, enveloped the entire Demon Suppressing Pass.

A massive shadow was cast down.

Blocking out the light of the sky.

Inside the Command Center, all the surviving White Eagle Country officers instinctively looked up.

Through the massive porthole, they saw an unimaginably large silver-white giant battleship, like a floating continent!

It was perfectly streamlined, and on its hull was engraved an eagle emblem with outspread wings.

It hovered quietly above the White Eagle Country Command Center. That cold, murderous pressure representing absolute power caused the chaotic energy storm below to subside!

"It's... it's the glory federation!"

An officer recognized the battleship's origin and let out a scream mixed with shock and ecstasy!

"It's the 'silver wing god of war'! Admiral Agatha Romanov's flagship!"

The Admiral... she's come in person!"

Under everyone's fanatical gazes.

The belly of the glory federation slowly opened.

A beam of light projected downward.

A woman wearing a crisp, pure white military uniform, with a slender figure and long silver hair tied meticulously behind her head, descended slowly along the beam. Her face was as exquisite as an ice sculpture, yet her aura was as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice.

She didn't look at anyone.

She didn't even glance at the man who looked like a god or demon and had caused all of this.

Her gaze fell indifferently on Mike Jason, who was lunging toward the self-destruct button like a madman.

Then.

She simply raised her hand slightly.

Boom!

An invisible yet terrifying pressure, as heavy as the stars, suddenly descended!

Thud!

Mike Jason's body was slammed down as if hit head-on by a mountain, pinning him firmly to the cold alloy floor!

In that instant, the sound of bones shattering echoed throughout his body!

His hand, reaching for the self-destruct button, was less than ten centimeters from its goal.

Yet, it became a chasm that could never be crossed.

"Take him away."

Two cold words, devoid of any emotion, escaped Agatha's mouth.

Two guards, also in white uniforms with fierce auras, stepped out from behind her and dragged away the completely unconscious Mike Jason like a dead dog.

Having done this.

Agatha Romanov, the woman hailed as the "silver wing god of war," finally turned around slowly.

Her ice-blue eyes, which seemed to lack any human emotion.

For the first time, looked directly at the man who had been standing quietly from beginning to end.

"Lin Yuan."

She spoke, her voice as cold as she was.

Yet it was filled with an unquestionable authority.

I am the chief justice of the Human Alliance Supreme Military Court, Agatha Romanov."

"I now suspect you are related to the anomalies in the 'Guixu' Forbidden Zone and multiple incidents of high-energy weapons losing control."

"Please, come with me."

That cold voice echoed in the deathly silent Command Center.

The air seemed to freeze into something solid at this moment.

Qin Pojun, standing at the door, and all the Longxiang Army soldiers who had just recovered from their ecstasy, saw the smiles on their faces instantly stiffen!

The next second.

A towering rage erupted from Qin Pojun's single eye!

"Bullshit!"

He pointed at Agatha and cursed loudly, his voice even more violent than the spatial vibrations from before!

"Who the hell do you think you are?!"

Your Excellency Lin Yuan just returned from the Forbidden Zone and cleared the disaster of 'heavens punishment' for humanity, and you fucking come here wanting to take him away?!"

"Suspect? Suspect my ass!"

"I think you were sent by White Eagle Country just to look for trouble!"

The Longxiang Army soldiers behind Qin Pojun also had bloodshot eyes. The energy in their bodies surged wildly, and their weapons were instantly chambered!

A murderous aura spread out.

As long as Qin Pojun gave the order, they would not hesitate to attack this so-called "silver wing god of war"!
