Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 90 - Are you spying on me?
The firelight gradually grew brighter.

That was a sky ablaze with thousands of stars, large and small. Julian's disruption of the US military had, in a way, actually fueled the fire at this moment, because the mutual destruction mechanism had already been activated, and Valentina only needed to push her hand forward to mobilize all the defense systems surrounding the city that had suffered the calamity of the evil dragon.

'boom--! ! ’

Flames erupted violently. The first to react wasn't one of the West Sea Team's reincarnators, but the black evil dragon high in the sky—lightning crackled around its body, and then its massive form swept outwards. Visible rings of energy slashed outwards with the rotation of its tail, instantly igniting a vast expanse of flames surrounding the evil dragon's lair!
The explosion sent shockwaves through the area, creating a massive storm. Many of the weaker members of the evil dragon's retinue howled in the storm. At least one hundred missiles, launched from all directions, were detonated instantly by this single strike.

At least one hundred.

However, there were at least two thousand conventional missiles coming from all directions!

They stretched out in a continuous, interconnected manner. Before the first wave of detonated ring clouds had even dissipated, subsequent strikes rained down on the ground one after another.

Unstoppable, unstoppable.

Even if the evil dragon's legion possesses powerful dark warriors capable of unleashing sword energy and firing arrows to intercept and detonate surface-to-surface missiles attacking from all directions before they hit, how could a total of no more than twenty dark warriors possibly withstand a missile barrage a hundred times greater?

Flames erupted, and the legion's warriors roared in fury. Their rage resonated with the black dragon coiled in the sky. The next moment, the dragon took a deep breath and roared to the heavens—

'hold head high--!!!!'

A tangible sound wave rapidly expanded outwards from the evil dragon's mouth. The dragon pearl it had swallowed, hanging beneath its chin, emitted a dazzling light. Even an evil dragon is still a dragon, possessing the authority and power unique to true dragons. The next instant, thunder roared across the sky.

The sky was illuminated by lightning.

Vast cumulonimbus clouds formed out of nowhere, followed by a massive thunderstorm. No amount of conventional missiles could penetrate them, yet even so, the missile barrage that had already landed still inflicted considerable casualties on the evil dragon's lair.

Many of the dark soldiers died.

Many of the dark monsters were wandering around aimlessly like headless flies.

All of this happened in just a few minutes, because the Celestials' announcement arrived at the same time as their missile bombardment!
"Are they insane? Have they gone mad?" Julian used his cosmos to create a barrier, his eyes filled with shock as he looked up at the sky. The West Sea team had not been considered the primary target in the previous bombing, but several heavy missiles still managed to penetrate the Dark Legion's air defenses and detonate not far from their base.

"Without leveraging any powerful forces or gathering intelligence, they brazenly proclaim their existence and goals to the entire world so brazenly, barely having finished their descent... Who do they think they are? How powerful do they think they are!?"

He couldn't understand, couldn't imagine. This wasn't his first time participating in a team battle; long before this, the West Sea team had already successfully defeated a formidable Reincarnation team. Whether then or now, two completely unfamiliar Reincarnation teams should have probed each other and gathered intelligence before engaging—because a well-established Reincarnation team, as long as it doesn't make mistakes, is unlikely to perish in a regular storyline world, and in a team battle, who knows what trump cards the other side might be holding!
Aren't the Celestials Team afraid that the Western Sea Team has a planet-annihilation bomb in their hands?

Isn't that black-haired, black-eyed man afraid of becoming the target of everyone's anger, afraid that a hidden powerhouse will emerge from the corner, afraid that the West Sea Team will use uncontrollable plot items to drag them down with them?

"Calm down, Julian."

A sound was heard.

The voice awakened Julian's reason.

The captain of the West Sea team gazed at the sky, his expression solemn. No panic appeared in his eyes.

“We were not targeted, and the enemy was not targeting us... The Celestials' target was Bragi, and they were prepared from the beginning to be at odds with the whole world.”

“This only means one possibility.” The werewolf clenched his fist, and a blazing aura surged around him. “Ordinary people would think this is arrogance, but I prefer to believe it’s out of necessity. They’re trying to hide something… They’ve directly denied the possibility of leveraging their power. Yes, only the captain can join the Celestial Team, and only the captain can join. The possibility of a psychic becoming the captain is extremely low!”

So that explains why they chose to guide missiles for the attack. Without psychic abilities, the Celestial Team is destined to rely on methods like electronic surveillance or divination to gather intelligence. That's why they adopted the most aggressive approach from the outset to disrupt the current battle. Only by completely muddying the waters can they hope to win in this intelligence-less raid!

The wolf's kiss suddenly split open, revealing a ferocious, pale smile. Command after command poured from Vincenzo's mouth, and the West Sea team, which had been somewhat chaotic under the missile bombardment, immediately regained order.

"The plan remains unchanged. The Celestial Team's Reincarnators are making such a big show of themselves, so Bragi's survival must be related to their main mission... Cover me, and I'll complete the Feast Ritual as quickly as possible. Reinhardt, you and the others remain hidden in the shadows, letting our allies gather intelligence on the Celestial Team for us. Julian, try using your mental scan to directly locate their movements—if I'm not mistaken, your scan won't be directly countered. But be careful not to scan their true form directly. I don't believe the strongest team can't even conceal their own weaknesses."

"let's move!"

Flames surged.

The pale gray battle aura and the werewolf lord's curse directly triggered a bloodbath across the entire ruined battlefield.

He nodded to the other members of the West Sea team, and his body sank into the ground as a torn magical scroll took effect. The ritual of ascending to power was immediately overshadowed by the chaotic battlefield. The reincarnators of the West Sea team exchanged glances, their fighting spirit soaring.

"The enemy is in the light, while we hide in the darkness." Reinhardt billowed his blood-red cloak, his body transforming into a swarm of exploding bats, leading several veterans of the West Sea Squad into the shadows. And in the instant he retreated, a true command quietly echoed in Julian's heart.

[Julian, prepare for 'that.' If my prediction is wrong and things don't go as planned, at least make sure we can get out of here smoothly.]

Vincenzo's voice fell silent.

The entire dragon's lair, bombarded by missiles, is now completely enveloped in thunderstorms. As long as the king remains alive, the evil minions will not crumble but will instead be enraged by the provocation. This completely eliminates any possibility of negotiation and reconciliation between them and the dragon.

well.

Julian nodded slightly and entered the West Sea Team's secret base. He immediately settled the "thing" Vincenzo had instructed him to do. After that, his mental power was fully unleashed, and an invisible yet vast wave of mental energy was projected towards the other side of the world.

He wasn't afraid—of course he wasn't. Even though the West Sea team wasn't at its best right now, their current advantage was still the greatest they could hope for. The West Sea team was operating from the shadows.

The West Sea team and Bragi have an alliance, and the West Sea team has fulfilled its duty. Now, Bragi's evil dragon legion and Bragi himself will become forces fighting for the West Sea.

And this is even Bragi's dark lair, where he has an absolute geographical advantage.

He touched several key mental nodes that he had pre-anchored, and the key figures he controlled were indeed not controlled or interfered with by the enemy's mental beings. Within his will, several secret military bases not connected to the outside world immediately began to operate, and only then did he direct his mental energy fluctuations toward the direction where the Celestial Team had appeared.

"—That's terrifying... Captain, so calm, so decisive. If I hadn't secretly unlocked the second level, I probably wouldn't have even considered resisting you."

—But… ugh… hurry up and unlock the third-tier gene lock, quickly show me once more your unparalleled vision and power. Let me convince myself to confess my hidden secrets to you. Let me continue to serve you as a pure psychic.

The situation is clear. If the West Sea team has a chance to defeat the Heavenly God team, then now is the time when that chance is greatest. And if they can't win here, then they can't win in another place either.

The fluctuation of mental energy spread.

The Millennium Falcon, which made no attempt to conceal its presence or flight path, magnified once more in Julian's perception—he saw it; he wasn't hindered by the black zone shielding him from the hostile psychic. An invisible, traceless fluctuation then seeped in. And everything unfolded exactly as Vincenzo had predicted; his observation was remarkably smooth!

He saw——

Four men and three women. The Eastern man who announced the arrival of the Celestials stood in the center. A capable-looking blonde woman busily operated the various electronic components of the spaceship.

The man wielding a spiral staff... is he a spellcaster? And the other is either a mechanic skilled in electronic operations, or a Cybertronian-type enhanced user?
—Swordsmen and swordsmen dressed in casual clothes…are they the main force, skilled in close combat? One is more physical, while the other…is he the kind of 'cultivator' commonly seen in Eastern stories?

—A priest in robes…that’s easy to identify. A red-haired, red-eyed woman…it’s not obvious from her appearance. She’s probably some kind of priest…

—Okay, so that's all for now…

Something is wrong.

There was another woman there.

There was also a rather beautiful woman there, with a serene demeanor, a relaxed posture, and positioned on the edge. She was even wearing a long dress and high heels unsuitable for combat.

That woman's presence was undeniably strong. Yet, several times in a row, Julian's gaze unconsciously avoided looking in her direction.

This means there's a problem.

This is a potentially big problem.

Is she hiding an important secret? Or...?

Let your thoughts pause for a moment.

Vincenzo's warning suddenly echoed in his mind.

I don't believe that the strongest reincarnation team can't even conceal their own weaknesses.

—It must be withdrawn.

—I can't look at her.

—Now…what!?

His thoughts suddenly slowed down. Julian abruptly turned his head, and he clearly saw the black-haired youth in armor reaching out his hand in his direction!

What is he doing? What can he do?
Even gods cannot perceive the mental fluctuations of a spiritual being. And this person… him?

Julian's heart skipped a beat. In that instant, he suddenly thought of the wounds Liesel of the North had inflicted on his mental realm. That meant a weakness, but even a weakness should only be effective against another mental power user!
He's stayed here for far too long.

And the next moment——

A soft thud.

Inside the secret chamber, Julian's left eye suddenly exploded. He let out a painful roar, and in the final instant of his mental energy returning, he clearly saw the man's finger pierce through the vast sky, striking his left eyeball!
"No, it's impossible!"

Incredible.

However, this was the truth he witnessed.

The atmosphere in the air suddenly froze, accompanied by a furious roar from the evil dragon!
They are coming.

They were hundreds of kilometers away just a moment ago, but now they have suddenly arrived at the battlefield!
