11: Regaining the Divine Realm

A terrifying Worm storm enveloped the entire Harpy unit, blocking out even a sliver of light.

Facing the comprehensive, inescapable encirclement, the Harpies felt a surge of powerlessness.

They did not attempt to shoot arrows to break through; their pitiful arrows were like a drop in the ocean against the massive number of Worms.

Su Qian anxiously expended her divine power, casting various divine spells on the Harpies.

But it could not change the overall situation.

Ye Chen would not show mercy and directly ordered the annihilation of this group of Harpies.

The surging tide of Worms instantly submerged the entire Harpy unit.

With just one charge, dozens of Harpies vanished without a trace, not even leaving a speck behind.

"No!!!" Su Qian's heartbroken cry echoed through the sky.

She watched her carefully cultivated elite unit turn into nothing in an instant, her eyes instantly ignited with the flames of hatred.

She never expected a simple mission would bury her elite-level Harpies.

Her eyes were bloodshot; she no longer cared about her image and shouted frantically from the God Domain Core: "Ye Chen! Get out here! I know you're here!"

"How could you... how could you kill my treasures!"

"Just you wait, I won't let you off!"

"I will... I will definitely kill you with my own hands!"

Harpies were her greatest asset; now that her main force was completely wiped out, she wished she could tear Ye Chen into ten thousand pieces.

Ye Chen did not pay attention to this crazy woman; he focused his attention on the invading Worms.

If it had just been Su Qian's unit invading Ye Chen's God Domain, Su Qian could have disconnected the God Domain link to prevent being attacked.

But now that Ye Chen's Worms had invaded back, it was equivalent to extending a hand into Su Qian's God Domain, making it impossible for her to disconnect the portal.

Her own main Harpy unit was completely annihilated; the remaining dozens were some underage Banshees with slightly insufficient combat power.

After merging with the thirty returning Harpies, they hovered above the God Domain Core, standing by in full battle array.

Facing the threat of arrows, Ye Chen ordered the Worms to sneak below the God Domain Core, planning to break through it using tunnel warfare + guerrilla tactics.

The three-meter-diameter white sphere of light quietly hovered two meters above the ground.

Suddenly, several hideous Worms abruptly emerged from the previously flat ground.

The Worms broke through the soil from underground, their hideous bodies leaping into the air, their mouths filled with sharp teeth biting fiercely onto the large sphere of light.

The tense Harpies quickly drew their bows and shot arrows.

But these cunning Worms bit once and quickly burrowed underground, leaving behind scattered arrows and several deep tooth marks on the ground.

The dense arrows missed their targets and stuck into the ground; some even shot onto the God Domain Core.

After this round of arrows was shot, several more Worms drilled out from underground and gnawed on the God Domain Core.

The panicked Banshees hastily drew arrows and shot them, but their hurried shots were inaccurate, and more arrows hit the God Domain Core.

This made the Harpies even more panicked, unsure whether they should release the arrows in their hands.

The oldest Harpy stabilized morale and instructed the Banshee with the best archery skills to draw her bow and aim, while the others stood by.

Seeing the Harpies standing by in full battle array, Ye Chen was not in a hurry to launch another attack.

Instead, he waited quietly.

The Harpies pulled their bowstrings taut, staring fixedly at the ground.

However, as time passed, their attention slowly began to wander.

What was worse, their fingers became stiff and numb from pulling the bowstrings forcefully for a long time.

Seeing that the Worms had not yet appeared, the older Banshee could only order a portion of her kin to release their bowstrings and rest for a while.

Hearing this, the Banshees breathed a sigh of relief and slowly released their fingers from the bowstrings.

They stretched their bodies slightly, then flew to the trees, preparing to rest for a moment before replacing other kin.

Just then, the ground undulated again.

Dozens of Worms simultaneously broke through the soil, gnawing frantically at the God Domain Core like hungry wolves.

Each bite from their hideous mouths dimmed the core's light slightly.

Just one round of gnawing reduced the God Domain Core's health by one-third.

The waiting Banshees quickly shot the arrows in their hands.

However, facing these dozens of Worms, their dozens of arrows appeared too scattered.

Only two unlucky ones were attacked by multiple arrows and died from critical hits.

This time, the Worms did not return to the surface but continued gnawing.

The resting Banshees saw the situation was wrong and quickly went forward to provide support.

However, by the time they arrived, the Worms had already gnawed another round.

The previously radiant God Domain Core was already on the verge of collapse.

By the time the Banshees shot another round of arrows, the Worms had already gnawed away the last bit of the God Domain Core's health, despite suffering casualties.

In an instant, the world changed color, and wisps of black mist surged from the portal, gradually spreading throughout the God Domain.

Su Qian, who was going crazy in Ye Chen's God Domain, felt the God Domain Core shatter and couldn't help but be stunned.

She seemed unable to believe this fact.

Her God Domain Core was gone just like that?

The next second, she was forcibly expelled from the God Domain by an invisible force, falling onto the classroom floor.

And Ye Chen also left with it.

Inside the classroom, the invisible shields around the two slowly dissipated.

Everyone in the classroom widened their eyes, staring intently at the two main characters.

Ye Chen's handsome face still wore that calm expression, making it impossible to tell the outcome.

Su Qian on the other side was like a soul lost, muttering: "It's gone... it's all gone..."

Seeing Su Qian's state was not right, Director Wu circulated his divine power and shouted: "Wake up!"

Su Qian was startled, then seemed to come back to her senses, collapsing into tears.

Seeing Su Qian's emotional breakdown made communication impossible, Director Wu looked towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen knew they were waiting for him to explain.

"Classmate Su Qian's God Domain Core... was destroyed."

Ye Chen's slightly guilty voice sounded in the silent classroom, instantly causing an uproar.

Chu Tian was the first to jump out, indignantly accusing: "Ye Chen, you despicable scoundrel, you don't even spare women!"

"Su Qian kindly offered to help you clear your God Domain, and you actually repaid kindness with enmity!"

"The matter with Zheng Lun isn't over, and now you've crippled Su Qian; you're simply too malicious."

"People like you are simply not fit to be our classmates; if this continues, everyone's God Domains will likely be destroyed by you!"

"Teacher, I propose destroying Ye Chen's God Domain Core and expelling him, otherwise none of us will have peace."

The classmates in the classroom listened to Chu Tian's words and echoed their agreement.

How is this a classmate? This is clearly a time bomb.

It might explode on oneself any day.

Director Wu couldn't help but look at this kid with some admiration as he listened to Chu Tian's righteous words.

Although this kid's background is not simple, being a second-generation god.

But he did not bully others based on his status; instead, he stood on the moral high ground, using righteousness to pressure others.

But Ye Chen was also helpless; destroying a classmate's God Domain Core was not his intention, and such a punishment was indeed a bit severe.

Thinking of this, Director Wu still decided to first listen to the details of their battle.

"Ye Chen, tell us about the situation in the God Domain."
