When Zhang Xiaoman's figure appeared in the Dark Spirit Star Territory, it was being invaded by a demonic tide.
Countless demons washed into the world like water droplets in the ocean. This was the first time many people had seen such a large number of demons.
In their impression, this is probably a scale that only the Zerg can achieve, but now the Demons have actually achieved this.
The people of the Star Alliance use Erin Star as their headquarters for defense. A large number of civilizations have gathered in the five nearby star districts. They were previously distributed in more than forty star districts in the entire Dark Spirit Star Field, but now they have been concentrated. together.
Today's Erin Star is no longer the same as it used to be. It vaguely feels like it has become the core planet in a nearby galaxy. Just because branches of the World Tree were planted here, the Star Alliance has transformed this original planet after decades of transformation. A planet without life on the surface was transformed into a vibrant green planet.
At present, the Erin Star District is relatively safe for the time being. The Covenant Alliance has placed its defense lines in the outermost star districts. The demons are squeezing their way in to invade.
The battle has been going on for more than a year. The demons are coming fiercely. Except for the five star districts currently occupied by the Star Alliance, almost all other places in the Dark Spirit Star Territory have fallen.
The soldiers on the front line are already exhausted. Everyone has to fight 24 hours a day, and they may only have a short break for five consecutive days.
If these warriors had not undergone enhanced physical transformation and the Covenant had not provided special combat supplies, perhaps no one would have been able to hold on until this point.
Compared with the Zerg, the number of the Demons is not far behind, but their ability to fight alone is far beyond those of the Insects.
Moreover, the characteristics of these guys themselves are also quite terrifying, especially those high-level demons. If there is no "form" that can break them up, then they will not die and are quite difficult to deal with.
"The demons' offensive is getting more and more fierce. I haven't closed my eyes for ten days. I feel like I can't hold on any longer..."
On the front line, at the space barrier established by the Covenant Alliance, some soldiers of the Guards finally found a gap in the fighting and took this opportunity to sit down and rest for a while.
However, no one closed their eyes to sleep. They just sat down to recover their strength, because the time to rest was too short. If they closed their eyes now, it would be difficult to wake up again.
"The demons are really hateful. Sometimes one shot of the Dark Spirit Cannon won't kill them, and they have to be shot two more to destroy their bodies!"
A soldier holding a dark spirit energy cannon said while eating energy biscuits and nutrient solution.
"Me too. I have hunted bugs in the edge star area before. Although those bugs are very adaptable, they are not invincible. It is simply too outrageous. Some demons will even pretend to be dead. It's a corpse floating close to us, and then it suddenly attacks!"
"Yes, one of my companions was tricked to death in this way, so now our commander has issued a death order. No demons are allowed within 5 stars of the space barrier. No matter whether they are dead or alive, they will be killed. Trash!"
"By the way, have you noticed that the demon's offensive seems to have eased a little bit recently, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be our turn to take a break now."
"Don't you know? We have just arrived at a cluster of ten drones. I heard that there is also a God Killer inside. It is an extraordinary existence. With their help, we have some time to rest for a while. .”
As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a distortion in the distant void, and then they saw countless Bell drones appearing in front of them. The overwhelming scale surprised them. After the surprise, they couldn't help but of joy.
"It is indeed them! Look! At the center of those drones, it is a God-killer-level drone!"
Someone pointed at a beast-shaped drone in the drone cluster and shouted.
However, he soon put down his hand with some confusion and murmured in confusion:
"It's strange. Aren't drones fighting on the front line? Why are they all here?"
The space barrier is a close defense line, and the more intense main battlefield is still in the fleet area on the front line.
"It's difficult. Could it be that..."
Others also reacted one after another at this time, and their faces turned pale.
"The front line... was defeated...?"
This was their first reaction. If not, how could these drones retreat?
The fact was exactly as they suspected.
In an area that no one can see, in the drone cluster, several Covenant flagships are being guarded in the middle.
These flagships are responsible for commanding the drone clusters, and each has an experienced and powerful Covenant operator in charge. With them, they can better utilize the combat capabilities of the drones.
Now, the faces of these operators are full of exhaustion. Controlling drones for a long time has consumed a lot of their energy.
However, compared to the fatigue of long-term fighting, there was clearly an unconcealable fear on everyone's faces.
"Get into formation and prepare to face the enemy!"
The person who spoke was a young woman who seemed to be the commander of this team. It was she who controlled the beast-shaped God-Killer-class drone.
The woman's name was Doumiao, who came from the destroyed Ancient Length Star. She was once a member of the Federation's mecha combat force. Later, she moved to the Karen Galaxy after the destruction of her home planet. She was then discovered to have the talent of being a manipulator, and then she joined. He came from the team of operators of the Star Alliance and now came to the second universe through the dimensional rift controlled by the organization to support the Dark Spirit Star Territory in the war against the demons.
Just as Doumiao finished speaking, more figures appeared in front of everyone's eyes, surging towards the space barrier like a black tide.
These black tides are naturally the army of demons.
"They're coming! Attack!"
Doumiao gave the order, and all the drones activated fire coverage, suppressing the demons for a while.
However, there was no smile on her face, it was still extremely solemn, just because the guy who forced them to retreat had not yet appeared.
The leader of the demon clan, a powerful extraordinary being whose strength is so terrifying that even the beast-shaped drone she controls is no match.
"Reaper, Uchi!"
Doumiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and a tall figure was reflected in her eyes. It was the reaper she mentioned, Wu Qi.
Wu Qi's figure is not that tall among the demons. His height of more than two meters is only slightly taller than ordinary people, and even much smaller than some large demons.
But size doesn't mean everything. The aura exuded by Wu Qi is stronger than all the demons present combined.
This is a strong man who is at the pinnacle of the extraordinary level, an eternal and immortal existence that transcends life and death.
Under his dark red skin, in his hand was a pitch-black sickle, and there seemed to be countless painful dead people wailing on the blade.
"I didn't expect that there are still people in this world who can control the Bell family. I have to admit that you did bring me a little trouble..."
Wu Qi said, slowly raising the sickle in his hand.
"However, that's it. In the face of absolute power, no matter how many people there are, it will be useless!"
He suddenly waved the sickle, and the dark light of the sword appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and everything seemed to be frozen at this moment.
The next moment, the space was torn apart, and most of the drone cluster was instantly disintegrated by this blow. The God Killer level controlled by Doumiao was even split into two, and it almost lost its combat effectiveness in just this one blow.
What's even more frightening is that the space barrier behind the drone was also torn open by Wu Qi's blow. The barrier was directly broken into two parts, and the cut part was turned into powder, leaving a huge gap. .
"How can it be……"
The defenders at the rear were all stunned. Now they finally understood why the drone cluster on the front line had retreated. The demon-like figure was so terrifying. The only thing left in their minds was the earth-shattering sword just now. Mang, some of the seriously injured people were frightened and died directly under this blow. The corpses underwent horrific changes, turning into dark red-skinned monsters that only knew killing without reason.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind the space barrier. Before the demon army could invade, the human front line had already begun to suffer damage.
"hateful!"
Doumiao herself was also affected, but fortunately her location was not Wuqi's main attack point, so it was no big deal.
She immediately unleashed the full potential of the God-Slayer drone, and saw a large number of mechanical tentacles burst out from the mecha that had been cut in half. The tentacles were connected to the surrounding small drones, absorbing their energy and matter. .
The God Killer drone controlled by Doumiao is a bit like a giant crab. This crab mecha quickly absorbed a large amount of energy and immediately completed the repair of its body. Not only that, it even split. Four incarnations were produced that were the same as his own, and the power of each incarnation was no weaker than the original body. The five crab drones directly turned on the dark speed and attacked Wu Qi in the black tide.
"Huh?"
Wu Qi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect that the God Killer, who was almost dead just now, could not only complete the repair in an instant, but also summon four clones.
He was not surprised to be able to repair it instantly. It had reached the extraordinary level. Many people could do this, but those four clones surprised him a little.
Different from ordinary clones, the clones created by ordinary clone skills are basically much inferior to the original body.
However, the energy levels and main bodies of the four clones summoned by this crab drone are actually the same. Although the energy levels are the same, it does not mean that the strength they can exert is the same, but even this is amazing enough. , this kind of ability makes even a low-level god like Wu Qi very jealous when he sees it.
"There is an unexpected harvest! Hahahaha!"
He lets out a hoarse and unpleasant laugh, and his mouth is full of terrifyingly sharp fangs that can stop children from crying at night - and scare them to death.
Inside the Star Alliance flagship, Doumiao looked in pain, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She forcibly controlled five God-killer-class drones, causing her mental and physical damage to a great extent.
"Boom boom boom!"
Five crab mechas launched an attack together, and huge pincers came from all directions, blocking all Wu Qi's escape routes.
Wu Qi's eyes flashed red, and a powerful force emerged from his body. Two pairs of demonic wings suddenly grew out of his back, and his eyes revealed endless excitement.
The next moment, dark red energy exploded with them as the center, instantly evaporating the surrounding ordinary demons and making space for the battle area.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the center of the battle without blinking. Although most of them could not clearly see the battle taking place, this did not affect their worries. Even many demons They all subconsciously stopped attacking and hid in the distance to watch.
About a few minutes passed, and the battle in the field had already concluded.
The crab mecha controlled by Doumiao still lost. Although it was able to summon four clones, its opponent was more powerful. The five combined were no match for a peak low-level god, and they were quickly defeated.
"Woo..."
Doumiao's eyes revealed despair. Her crab drone had been captured by Wu Qi, and the connection between her and the drone was forcibly cut off. It seemed that no one here could stop the other party.
"Have the reinforcements from the Guardian arrived yet?"
She asked her teammates about their support through the communication channel, but the reply she received was disappointing.
"Senior Golden Dragon is on his way here, but he was held back by another demon leader and is unable to support us for the time being! Captain, what should we do now!?"
"what to do……"
Doumiao was also feeling miserable, and she didn't know what to do. The monster was too powerful, and she was no match for him even if they were all put together.
"We will gather all the drones and launch a self-destruction. Maybe this can hold him back for a while and see if there is a chance to organize everyone to evacuate..."
Just as she was preparing her retreat plan, there was a sudden burst of noise in the communication channel, and a playful and gloomy voice suddenly echoed in their ears.
"I've said it before, in the face of absolute power, no matter how large the number is, it's useless... Hehehe, just stay here obediently. No one can escape from the hands of my reaper yet."
Doumiao and others' expressions changed greatly. This guy actually invaded their communication system without them knowing it!
"Damn it! No wonder he can keep tracking us! When did he break in!"
Everyone was horrified. They knew that this time they and others might be doomed.
"Hahahaha! I have been waiting for hundreds of thousands of years for this opportunity! The demonic tide has finally appeared. This is a gift given to us by the Lord! Now, feel the surging demonic tide!"
Wuqi let out a harsh and unpleasant laugh.
