88: Divine power descends from the sky!

Marco cried out in alarm, his three-eyed pupils filled with shock and disbelief.

In an instant, the runes in the central control tower, which had been flowing steadily, suddenly surged, the deep blue rapidly replaced by an ominous crimson. The entire tower hummed with a low thrum, as if overwhelmed.

What he perceived was a steel torrent formed by tens of thousands of wills and powers!

It was pressing directly towards his Mind Nexus at an astonishing speed!

“An army?!”

“An… army targeting me?!”

In Marco’s mind, Ka Mountain’s face, always bearing a hint of disdain and arrogance, flashed by.

Could it be…

He gasped, a chilling conjecture rapidly growing in his mind.

“Those guys… not only did they deal with Ka Mountain… now, their target… is me?!”

How was this possible?!

Ka Mountain, no matter what, was a top-ranked Ten-Stage elite within their race!

But the overwhelming power before him, as if it could tear the very sky apart, was definitely not something an ordinary lord’s force could possess!

“Who is it?!”

The vertical eye on his forehead glowed brightly, bloodshot, as if it would bleed at any moment.

A furious emotion clashed violently with the gravity of facing an unknown powerful enemy in his heart.

“Alert!!”

“City-wide highest-level alert!!”

Marco’s voice, amplified through the tower’s sound-amplifying array, echoed through every corner of Mind Nexus City.

“All combat units, immediately! At once! Enter highest combat readiness!”

“Constructed-body legions, awaken all! Energy cores preheat to critical point!”

He “gazed” intently at the direction from which the massive energy torrent surged, runes rapidly spinning in his scarlet vertical pupil, as if to penetrate the spatial barrier and discern the true identity of the invading enemy.

“I want to see who dares to act so wildly on my territory!”

Although his heart was in turmoil, as a prominent figure of the Three-Eyed Race’s new generation and the controller of the Mind Nexus, Marco forcibly suppressed his initial shock and panic.

The confidence in his bones would not allow him to show a trace of cowardice before his enemies.

This was his home ground!

Mind Nexus City, which he had managed for many years, and his proud Constructed-body army!

“Good, come on!” Marco’s lips curled into a cold, sinister arc, and a hint of mad battle intent began to rise in his eyes.

“It’s a good chance for me to gauge how much these reckless fools are worth, daring to touch my cheese!”

…

Hooves thundered like thunder, and dust billowed.

Su Jin’s army, a dark torrent, finally arrived at the foot of Mind Nexus City.

Above the city walls, countless deep blue runes glowed intensely, and an energy shield, like an inverted giant bowl, enveloped the entire city.

Gruesome-looking Constructed-body puppets emerged from various parts of the city, their cold metal eyes gleaming with danger, cannons and sharp blades all pointed at the surging torrent outside the city.

Inside the central control tower, Marco’s three eyes were wide open and bloodshot. He desperately mobilized the city’s defense system, and at the same time, a unique mental fluctuation spread out from him, establishing a link with every Constructed-body within the city.

“My children, the time has come to display your power!”

Marco’s voice carried a hint of frenzied excitement.

As his will infused them, the already formidable Constructed-body puppets had their runes on their surfaces suddenly accelerate their flow, their energy core output was forcibly boosted, and even faint blue energy arcs spewed from their joints, their overall aura surging significantly.

“This is my talent — ‘Mechanical Heart Resonance’! Under my will, they will transform into the most terrifying killing machines!” Marco felt the surging power transmitted back from the Constructed-bodies, and his confidence swelled again.

He seemed to already see the scene of these ignorant invaders being crushed to dust under the iron hooves of the Constructed-body army.

However, just as he was enjoying his confidence,

Outside the city, Su Jin quietly gazed at the metal fortress before him, with all its defense systems activated and ready, and at the arrogant Constructed-bodies.

He could even sense the slightly impatient provocation transmitted by the opposing lord through the Constructed-bodies.

“It seems this Lord Marco is quite confident in his turtle shell,” Su Jin said with a slight upward curve of his lips, his tone calm.

Then, he slowly raised his right hand.

“Since that’s the case,” he said softly, “then… let’s completely crush that confidence.”

Before his words finished, an indescribably terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from Su Jin!

“God Liberation!”

Boom—!!!

A golden pillar of light, piercing through heaven and earth, instantly shot up from Su Jin’s center!

The pillar of light tore through the sky, dispelled the dark clouds, and painted the entire battlefield into a glorious and sacred golden realm!

Heaven and earth, at this moment, seemed to lose their color because of this light!

Immediately after, Su Jin’s figure was swallowed by endless golden light.

Within the light, a complex, magnificent divine armor, seemingly woven from light and faith, rapidly condensed and formed, covering Su Jin.

The helmet covered his face, leaving only a pair of eyes burning with golden flames.

Behind him, six wings, like solid entities, composed of countless tiny golden light blades layered upon each other, silently unfolded.

Each flap brought ripples in space.

A vast and unparalleled terrifying aura, as if to trample heaven and earth underfoot, swept out from Su Jin’s center in all directions!

Inside Mind Nexus City.

Central Control Tower.

Marco’s expression, which had been slightly frenzied with excitement due to “Mechanical Heart Resonance,” instantly froze.

“Uh…”

His three eyes were wide as brass bells, staring intently at the figure bathed in divine light within the light screen, a series of unintelligible gurgles escaping his throat.

“What… what is that?!”

His proud energy perception, in the face of the aura that erupted after Su Jin’s God Liberation, was as insignificant as a firefly compared to the bright moon.

That pressure even made all the nerves throughout his body emit a mournful cry of being overwhelmed, and shivers ran deep within his soul.

“Impossible… This is absolutely impossible!!” Marco shrieked, his voice becoming sharp and piercing due to extreme fear, “What kind of power is this?! Ten-Stage? No! This definitely surpasses Ten-Stage!!”

All his previous confidence, all his backing, was crushed to dust at this moment.

He finally understood why Ka Mountain had disappeared without a trace.

Facing such an existence, Ka Mountain’s meager strength probably didn’t even qualify him for a second glance!

However, the shock Su Jin brought him was far from over.

Just as Marco’s mind was in disarray, Su Jin’s voice echoed across the entire battlefield:

“Radiance of All Spirits · Royal Edict — Open!”

Amidst a humming sound, a colossal golden domain suddenly unfolded from Su Jin’s center, instantly covering an area of tens of thousands of meters, encompassing the entire Mind Nexus City!

The magnificent phantom of a palace emerged within the golden light domain, more solidified and more glorious than during the last battle against Bashaka!

The soaring golden dragon totem seemed to come to life, letting out a soul-shaking roar, its dragon might vast and imposing!

Countless phantoms of armed legions, clad in golden armor and wielding divine weapons, appeared, their gazes chilling, their killing intent soaring to the sky!

Within the entire domain, golden light shone brightly, runes filled the sky, and a supreme, dominant monarch’s will descended, as if this heaven and earth had become Su Jin’s divine kingdom in his palm!

“Do… domain?!”
