High above the battlefield, the Heavenly Judgment Herrscher coldly watched the war of attrition unfolding below her feet, which resembled a meat grinder.
The wreckage of pale pseudo-beasts and steel robots continuously piled up, staining the scorched earth with an even more bizarre color.
Just then, in Ellen Mathers' encrypted communication channel, the extremely anxious voice of a technician sounded, backed by grating alarms and rapidly scrolling loss data:
"Madam Ellen! The casualty rate for the Bondski forces is skyrocketing! Over sixty percent of units have lost signal!"
"The speed at which the enemy constructs are pouring out far exceeds our replenishment efficiency! At this rate, in less than three minutes, our ground defenses will be completely breached, and our forces will be utterly overwhelmed by their sheer numbers!"
Ellen's brows were tightly knitted, and a flash of extreme irritation and decisiveness crossed her cold eyes.
She glanced at the Herrscher high in the sky, who seemed to be enjoying the view, and knew that she could not delay any longer. Conventional means of resistance were meaningless against the opponent's nearly infinite ability to "mass-produce" troops.
"All units, heed my command!"
Ellen's voice was like cracking ice, carrying the resolve of one who had burned her bridges.
"Tactical change! Abandon ground entanglement! All aerial battleships, main cannons and auxiliary cannon arrays, full power! Lock onto the high-altitude target—the Heavenly Judgment Herrscher! Volley fire!"
"All ground-based long-range fire units! Ignore the cannon fodder, repeat, ignore the cannon fodder! All missiles and energy cannons, maximum range, lock onto the same target! Fire!"
The moment the order was issued, the battlefield situation changed drastically!
The several DEM aerial battleships suspended in the air adjusted their massive hulls, their menacing muzzles rapidly charging, emitting a heart-pounding low hum, as deep blue energy light condensed at the barrels, like a volcano about to erupt!
Simultaneously, the remaining ground-based long-range fire points activated; countless missile silo covers opened, and warheads flashing red light rose, while the energy turrets unanimously turned toward the sky!
The next moment—
"Boom!!!!!!"
"Whoosh—Whoosh—Whoosh—!!!"
Deafening roars and piercing sounds of tearing air intertwined into a symphony of destruction!
Countless thick beams of deep blue energy light, like Spears of Divine Judgment, blasted out from the battleships' main cannons!
Missiles, dense as rain, trailed long plumes of exhaust, resembling a meteor shower flying in reverse!
Coupled with the countless energy beams fired from the ground... all the firepower wove together into a seamless net of death that covered the entire sky, carrying the momentum to tear apart and annihilate everything, overwhelmingly engulfing the Heavenly Judgment Herrscher, who was suspended above the spatial mirror steps!
The sight was like the arrival of the apocalypse, enough to make any entity facing it feel despair.
However, facing this saturation strike capable of leveling a mountain peak, the Heavenly Judgment Herrscher's expression did not change in the slightest.
Her eyes, burning with golden, prismatic light, remained cold and arrogant, reflecting the destructive streams of light assaulting her from all directions, as if she were watching an insignificant fireworks display.
Just as the first wave of energy beams and missiles were about to touch her body—
She raised her right hand, covered by black and white sleeves, and, facing the surging torrent of death before her, she lightly and casually snapped her fingers.
"Snap."
The crisp snap was so faint it was almost negligible amid the deafening roar of the explosions.
But the instant that soft sound fell, a sudden anomaly occurred!
In the void before her, countless circular portals, their edges flowing with purple lightning and spatial ripples, suddenly and densely opened like ripples in water, without any warning! They varied in size and appeared precisely in the path of every energy beam, every missile, and every burst of energy fire!
