The barrage of fire had ended, leaving behind a battlefield filled with craters and four towering mountain giants.
The most advanced weapons of humanity not only instilled fear in humans themselves but also intimidated the demonic clan present on the battlefield.
Thus, oddly enough, the entire battlefield momentarily fell silent.
However, this silence was only temporary. When two beams of light shot towards the distant giants, the situation escalated once again.
"That’s Victor and... Wen Yu?"
Professionals with strong abilities naturally had sharp eyesight, and some had already spotted the figures wrapped in the two beams of light.
"No, it’s Victor and Faceless."
Kaius, the strongest human in the main battlefield, carefully scrutinized the scene and then shook his head. This was not because Faceless and Wen Yu had any visible differences, but simply because Kaius understood his side’s tactical arrangements very well.
However...
Since the older brother had already taken action, what use was there for his younger brothers?
Soon, tactical orders from the rear reached Kaius.
"Order: The second elite group army led by Kaius is to advance to the front line to deal with a stone giant. Order: The third elite group army led by Qin Min is to advance to the front line to deal with a stone giant. After the mission is completed, Kaius and Qin Min will each lead a team of elite squads into the dimensional maze..."
A multitude of commands poured in, seemingly chaotic. However, this directive from Fran was undoubtedly a guiding light in such a tumultuous environment.
Kaius set down the documents at hand, looked back at the elite second group army of the military in Beijing, and raised his right hand: "Warriors, this is our moment..."
"Boom!"
A violent explosion interrupted Kaius's impromptu speech. For a moment, he felt his ears buzzing. Turning back, he caught sight of a dramatic change in the distance.
The battle between Victor and Faceless was going exceptionally well—size did not necessarily equate to strength. Faceless and Victor, their small figures resembled two highly combat-capable miniature bombers, circling around the four puppets in a frenzy, while the four puppets, swaying like they were drunk, had no ability to counterattack against such small, swift opponents. They could only mechanically raise their arms, launching utterly ineffective counterattacks.
By the time Kaius led the army to the battlefield, Victor and Faceless might have already dealt with the four soul puppets.
But the problem did not lie with Victor and Faceless.
At this moment, right above the four puppets, in the dim black sky, bolts of azure lightning were racing around chaotically. The azure lightning carried the force to tear apart space, constantly roaming the spatial realm. Since the military had launched their attacks, the sky had already looked like this. Now, after several hours without change, the spatial rifts finally underwent their last transformation following the barrage.
The azure lightning intertwined and fused, and then Kaius suddenly noticed a faint glow emerging in the sky. The light grew brighter and more blinding until it shone so fiercely that Kaius could hardly look at it, and once again, a massive explosion sounded beside him.
The earth began to shake, and even with Kaius's strength, he felt unsteady beneath his feet. Surrounding him were voices of astonishment erupting continuously. When Kaius looked back toward the sky, he could only see that the sky had shattered, and a long, thick black tube had burst forth from the end of the sky, directly piercing into the gray light guarded by the four giants.
The light from the dimensional maze enveloped the source extraction device without gaps, becoming the last layer of protection for the source extraction device. However, even now, the military’s main forces were still entangled with the demonic clan, with only a few dozen individuals having entered the dimensional maze.
It was hard to say who was superior and who was inferior, but Kaius understood that the current situation had indeed reached a critical juncture.
